@RaccoonForFriendica the first stable version 0.1.0 has finally been released! 🎉🎊🎉
Here is the changelog, compared the latest beta:
🦝 feat: make crash reports opt-in (disabled by default);
🦝 feat: add option to keep app bars fixed while scrolling;
🦝 fix: transition between images/videos in detail view;
🦝 fix: unmute videos in detail view;
🦝 enhancement: update licenses;
🦝 chore: update dependencies;
🦝 chore: update user manual.
If no blocking issues are reported, I intend to make it easier to install the app (by distributing on other alternative stores, e.g. setting up the submission procedure to F-Droid), translate the UI and/or user manual into more languages, etc.
Wish me good luck and remember to #livefasteattrash!

Meta must face FTC trial that could separate Instagram and WhatsApp
Meta will have to face the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit, which accuses the company of acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp to stifle competition.Emma Roth (The Verge)
For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.
You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

The SMTP email protocol is 42 years old. In 1982, the SMTP protocol was defined (and implemented on ARPANET a year later), and in the decades since, it's lit the way for what the Internet *could* be - was originally supposed to be - where we rely on open standards and massively scalable and robust distributed protocols instead of proprietary centralised platforms.
In recent years, we've had an object lesson in why we need to go back to that original vision.
I keep going back to the idea of getting a Macbook again, then running a Windows VM mostly for web browsing. Most other things I would want to do are viable on Mac OS.
But what is the state of VMWare Workstation and Mac OS Sequoya? Is Parallels still a better experience with a more annoying setup regarding accessibility?

A brilliant new Black Mirror-style sci-fi thriller by the star of Red Dwarf and Fully Charged.
PRE-ORDER NOW
Shadow
The Ghost Camera is a gripping sci-fi thriller in which a British hi-tech start-up accidentally discovers an alternative use for one of their inventions – by creating a tiny, momentary black hole in a lab, they can capture images that defy all attempts to explain them.
Morris is a laboratory janitor in Oxford and is perfectly happy with his lot.
When Morris accepts company stock as overtime pay, he never expects to be caught in the middle of an extraordinary discovery – a camera that captures images from through time, not space.
Told through Morris’s own observations, but also through clippings from newspapers, tech magazines and websites from all over the world –
The Ghost Camera offers a Black Mirror-style parable about where technology might lead us.

Reminder that if you get jemalloc errors on software running on Asahi, that's because the jemalloc maintainers refuse to make jemalloc builds portable to all ARM64 systems by default.
Some downstream projects also refuse to override the default for their builds when the issue is raised with them, like Telegram Desktop.
Unfortunately, choices like these are sabotaging the ARM64 Linux ecosystem by explicitly making binaries non-portable, and if people don't listen to our feedback, there is very little we can do to help. These "build for the host page size" approaches are as non-portable as -march=native, but people seem to think it's okay when you're breaking ARM64 systems and not x86_64 systems for some reason.
Compiled-in page size makes jemalloc binaries unportable · Issue #467 · jemalloc/jemalloc
I see that configure uses sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) at compile time to determine the page size. However, this can vary depending on kernel configuration, so a jemalloc compiled on one machine may have ...GitHub
