Huge win for privacy: Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe!
EU privacy regulators say Facebook and Instagram must not force users to agree to tracking by putting this requirement into their terms. In the future, Facebook must add a clear Yes & No option through which you can accept being tracked - or deny it! #Fight4Privacy 💪

We are dropping the Autotools build for GTK 3.x, and have fully switched to Meson. If you package GTK 3 and you are still using Autotools, now is the time to switch.
For more information, see the announcement on Discourse: discourse.gnome.org/t/removing…
#gtk #meson #autotools #distro #packaging
The next GTK 3 release, 3.24.46, will drop support for building with Autotools. GTK has been using Meson in its main development branch since 2016, and in the gtk-3-24 branch since 2018. While we did not officially support the Meson build in the 3.GNOME Discourse
To those still wondering what kind of performance improvement Meson brings to an established project over Autotools, here are some numbers from the Yocto project after they switched their native GTK3 build recipe:
config (autotools): 38.5s
config (meson): 17.9s (-53.5%)
install (autotools): 11.2s
install (meson): 1.6s (-85.5%)
compile (autotools): 100.8s
compile (meson): 37.5s (-62.8%)
The build went from nearly 2 minutes to sub-1 minute

For the cross-compilation build, the improvements are even more marked:
config (autotools): 55.5s
config (meson): 22.0s (-60.4%)
install (autotools): 11.6s
install (meson): 3.6s (-68.7%)
compile (autotools): 415.5s
compile (meson): 235.3s (-43.4%)
If your project is still holding on to Autotools because of sunk cost, do yourself a favour, and start looking at Meson.

In an unexpected turn, we've found ourselves blocking the official #RaspberryPi instance today, basically until they put an adult in charge of it.

Twitch have added a bunch of new charities to their list, and two of them are the LGB alliance - a transphobic hate group - and Autism Speaks - an ableist hate group.
This can't be allowed to stand. Please use the link below if you have a twitch account to vote for this issue:

Warntag: Behörden bewerten Probealarm als Erfolg

Robust, technische Probleme der Vergangenheit behoben... Man lobt sich. Vor Ort sah es aber leider anders aus: Zahlreiche Menschen berichteten, keine Warnungen erhalten zu haben. Je nach Gerät und Netzanbieter sah es doch eher durchwachsen aus, um es positiv auszudrücken. Warten wir mal auf die Ergebnisse der repräsentativen Umfrage...

Does anyone know how I could make it clear to followers of @feditips that there is a website full of tips at fedi.tips?
I'm still getting people surprised to learn this, including people who have been following me for years. They still think people need to randomly wait for a useful tip.
The account name itself is the website address, the website is mentioned four times in the profile, there are two pinned toots featuring the website.
Is there something I'm missing? 🤔

Basically something like

Raspberry Pi is really proud of hiring "a policeman & it's going really great" who "was a surveillance officer for 15 years" and built covert surveillance equipment. RPi dismisses the very thing they're so proud of as "he built lightsabers [as toys]. Chill."). Dear reader, it must be remarked that the concern is not his rad lightsaber toys (which, to be clear, are rad). The concern is that he's got experience in surveillance equipment, and the company is proud to have hired him for it, and proudly blocking everyone who expresses the slightest concern about it instead of being even remotely willing to listen and understand why people are skeeved out, even people who aren't on the ACAB train and are gently voicing concerns with a surveillance cop potentially having the keys to their hardware/software.
This is not the behavior of a company that's concerned about privacy, security, trust, or autonomy, and I don't think this company can or should be trusted to remain federated with instances that want to be welcoming to marginalized people or anti-authoritarians.
Really hate to say it, because I've used and loved RPis for several years now, but if nothing else, please use a different SBC from now on. There are many options out there that aren't so eager to insult you for having concerns about security.
