I will be starting the upgrade to Mastodon v4.1.2 on Masto.host.

This will cause about 15 seconds of downtime.

You can see the Mastodon v4.1.2 changelog here: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r…

libwps is still used by LibreOffice for MSWorks support, right? Is it still under development? It doesn't look very active from what I can see... sourceforge.net/p/libwps/wiki/…
(All my documents from my childhood were stored in MSWorks format, and LibreOffice sometimes has problems with some of them...)

A little #AndroidAppRain in my Magisk repo (apt.izzysoft.de/magisk) today added 3 modules, 2 others were updated. And thanks to an update in repo-util (which allowed me the new additions) there's also an additional filter in the web interface now ("added in the last X days"). Enjoy :awesome:

@brli Please look at the link I gave you. Timestamps don't help, Android goes by the versionCode to decide whether an APK is an update to an existing app. They decreased the versionCode, so all their newer versions are considered older.

Again, as described: tha APKs are downloaded by my updater, then thrown away as versionCode is much lower. Even if they'd get into my repo, you couldn't "update" as Android wouldn't allow you to "downgrade".

Hello, Windows-using friends. I know that this is a VM, but it's on a very fast CPU and very fast SSD. In a Linux guest, with the same virtualization stack (Parallels) and the same version of Python, the equivalent of this runs somewhere between 4 and 8 times faster. A second to create a venv is already depressingly slow but creeping up towards *7 seconds* is just bizarre. Am I doing something wrong here?

@matt This seems to be the latest option from Microsoft for development workloads: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wind…

Essentially do all your development on a non-NTFS volume with antivirus switched to a non-blocking mode.

“17.2% of home pages had a "skip" link present, up from 13% in 2022. However, one out of every 6 "skip" links were broken—either they were hidden in a way that made them inaccessible or the link target was not present in the page.”

@bagder just wanted to share that I now provide builds of libcurl for iOS, automatically updated whenever a new version is released: github.com/tls-inspector/curl-…

Today's #AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid brings you 12 updated and 1 new apps:

* Food Expirations: remember all the expiration dates of your food stocks (to not waste food by throwing it away)

Enjoy your meanwhile 1.072 #free #Android #apps with #FDroid and the #IzzySoftRepo :awesome:

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

I'm kind of jealous of the Nearby Share working with Android to/from Windows. androidpolice.com/nearby-share…

And Apple's AirDrop between iOS and macOS. support.apple.com/en-us/HT2031…

It'd be great if GNOME & KDE could talk *both* Nearby Share & AirDrop in one UI (in the file manager, I guess, with "Nearby" showing both, when available). It'd work with whatever phone you have.

A sharing app would be OK too. But integrated would be better.

(Yes, I already know about Bluetooth, KDE Connect, and GSConnect.)

in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub Aha! There's github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop — it's working, but not fully complete. (The important parts work.)

However, it requires special hardware with active listening and my ThinkPad's wifi (for example) doesn't support the feature.

Meanwhile Google's "Nearby Share" (and related stuff) is available under Apache 2.0 license @ github.com/google/nearby

in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub GNOME has GSConnect. extensions.gnome.org/extension…

It's not built-in by default, but it does integrate into GNOME once you add the extension.

And then you run KDE Connect on your Android device or iPhone. Plus, you can use GSConnect or KDE Connect to connect with another laptop or desktop too.

in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub The only problem with KDE Connect (and therefore GSConnect too) is that the KDE Connect app ships an older version of an ssh server for Android 7 support, which uses ssh-rsa, which was dropped a while back in distributions, which means file browsing no longer works (and now no longer do the workarounds).

The main GSConnect issue/discussion:
