I don't begrudge Slack for making this change, but I think this is why loss-leader free plans are evil for many businesses: when the music stops, and you need to cut costs, you end up consigning millions of people's thoughts and words and ideas to ashes.

Is there anyone in the #linuxmobile community with some experience in (or motivation to learn) #openmp (or something similar) who'd be willing to help a bit with a patch of mine for the #libcamera softwareISP? It's an important piece of sw that allows us to use "complex" cameras even when we don't have ISP drivers.

The patch I started already shows promising results on e.g. the #librem5, however I could use some help getting it into a mergable state :)

Israel's current strategy is a recipe for further humanitarian disasters, endless war and the creation of another generation of Palestinians bent on Israel’s destruction. If Israel wants to prevent Hamas from regenerating itself, it should offer the people of Gaza a more positive and hopeful alternative vision of the future. wapo.st/45Ldg1S

the thing that caught my eye was not a single mention in nearly 4 hours of St Mungo's. most other things I've read of that length have at least mentioned or referenced it if not used it as a setting.

The "Pay or Consent" advertising model of Meta fails to comply with the Digital Markets Act.

Our preliminary findings show that this choice forces users to consent to the combination of their personal data and fails to provide them a less personalised but equivalent version of Meta’s social networks.

There's been recently some confusion in #postmarketOS as GNOME Software is still on version 45. The main reason is that the simple plugin: github.com/Cogitri/gnome-softw… we use for APK has not been updated to follow GNOME Software's library changes. If anybody is interested in helping with maintenance for that project, I can provide guidance and reviews, and we will all be very pleased!

Did some digging, and it turns out that GNOME Software's plugin API has changed quite a bit. It's not stable (intentionally so since most plugins are meant to be in-tree), so I wonder if maintaining an APK-specific plugin is a bad move. Perhaps it would be better to instead make a PackageKit implementation for APK, so that Software can communicate through the PackageKit plugin?

It looks like this advisory was coordinated with distributors and patches already released a few days ago, but just in case: Go forth and patch your shit!
