h/t @blaine for pointing to this amazing website

In the last commits in gitlab.gnome.org/jrb/libipuz/-… I'm doing this hack:

- get a json-glib JsonNode from the caller
- reserialize to a string
- pass the string to Rust code
- deserialize with serde
- spit back out an IpuzStyle to the C code

And this seems to be a nice, temporary way of moving libipuz's JSON code gradually to Rust.

An off-cycle Synapse security release is out to address a High severity vulnerability (CVE-2025-30355 / github.com/element-hq/synapse/…). The issue can disrupt federation and is being exploited in the wild - please upgrade as soon as possible!

Questrial, designed by Joe Prince and Laura Meseguer

During colonial times, European colonial powers in Africa made their languages the official ones. Many African languages still lack typographic support, making it hard to write them correctly due to missing letters and diacritics in most fonts.
In post-colonial times and to address the lack of open source fonts for African languages, @googlefonts gave me the task of expanding Questrial for that purpose

I want to talk about this Associated Press article: apnews.com/article/hegs... Specifically, this sentence. I don't like this sentence! The wording implies Signal has known vulnerabilities. That's untrue. I think more people should use Signal, & don't want reporting to discourage people from it.

A reminder that if you're interested in #SVG and the #WebStandards process, and specifically about trying to get SVG standardization back into gear, there is an open meeting on the topic today. It's hosted by Eric Meyer ( @Meyerweb ) of Igalia, as part of W3C Breakouts Day.

Starts in 5.5 hours. You'll need a w3.org account to sign up; meeting is via zoom with irc chat.

@federicomena @doctormo And to be clear, spec issues would still be useful despite all that because:

They provide a record for whenever someone is working on it again.

They provide evidence that there is still a demand for a better SVG spec, from devs working on all sorts of projects.

Not ideal, no, but yeah, if you have the time to at least post cross-links to your own bug tracker, it will hopefully make a difference eventually.

One of the more outstanding complaints about Super Egg Hunt has been the egg beep. apparently it can become headache inducing. So. What would happen if we gave the user the option to change it? check out this super Egg Hunt demo. and while you're listening, reply with all the changes and differences you hear.

A pak udělám školáckou chybu za mokra na tramvajovém pásu 🤦‍♂️
Kolo má pár šrámů, já pár modřin, ale dopadlo to asi nejlíp, jak mohlo. Podařilo se mi celkem dost zpomalit a pak si v motorkářském stylu lehnout. Helmu jsem měl, ale naštěstí nepotřeboval. A dokonce i oblečení přežilo 😅
Teď se budu chvilku téhle trase vyhýbat 🙈

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:

in reply to loowiz

@loowiz and even as reproducible build 🤗 Waiting for you to switch from pre-releases to "real ones", so our recipe updater stops complaining 🙈

And yes, I have a few crawlers running here to find interesting apps to add. While IzzyOnDroid gained some popularity meanwhile, not all developers are aware of it and know they can request inclusion. Thanks to FOSS licenses giving us the 4 freedoms – and thanks to you applying such a FOSS license :awesome:

Today is my birthday and the release on my album on audiotape and VHS!

"Objectivity" is an audiovisual critical study of the western industrial paradigm that sees nature as something that can be analyzed, tamed and counted.

Side A is a deep drone trip through analogous soundscapes. Side B is a versatile compilation, from a post-punk song "Predmet" to a musique concrete opus Holo Electron using a weird French machine from 1960s that is supposed to heal all your pain using electromagnetic waves. "Proctor" is a drone walk through the northern sea using analogous wooden synthesizers made by a friend of mine from Karelia. "Dissolution of Hierarchy" is a drone hymn to equity of all sounds.

The album can be purchased as a hard copy or downloaded for free or for a donation here:

Following popular request, here is a proper announcement about editing and deletion of messages available in app stores now. It briefly highlights how Delta Chat actually works contrary to how even some experts thinks it works :)

TL;DR Delta Chat is not a classic e-mail client. It uses special messages to co-ordinate encryption, metadata and group interactions and now edit/delete. Delta Chat implements a Peer-to-Peer messaging paradigm without any server state.

1/2 "Ideme ďalej: v koalícii je nateraz poriadok. Zároveň však ďalej nejdeme: Slovensko neurobilo krok dopredu už viac ako desaťročie.

Namiesto toho je zaseknuté v nejakej obludnej časovej slučke, v ktorej tí istí ľudia majú stále tie isté škandály a vysvetľujú ich stále rovnako a so stále rovnakým výsledkom. Intelektuálne je to výživné asi ako nosenie dreva do lesa, aj písanie receptu na zemiakovú kašu je zaujímavejšie."

Custom images from an asset catalog don't automatically resize with text. If an image is not purely decorative, we should ensure it scales appropriately when users adjust their preferred font size. We can easily do it with the ScaledMetric API in SwiftUI: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Adaptin…

😲 DeepSeek-V3-4bit runs at >20 tokens per second and <200W using MLX on an M3 Ultra with 512GB. This might be the best and most user-friendly way to run DeepSeek-V3 on consumer hardware, possibly the most affordable too. You can finally run a GPT-4o level model locally, with possibly even better quality. #LLM #AI #ML #DeepSeek #OpenAI #GPT #OpenWeight #OpenSource venturebeat.com/ai/deepseek-v3…

“Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot”

I think I was starting to head that way with Claude before I quit a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully I didn't use it much for actual coding work; I gave it a few one-off tasks, but was mostly unsatisfied with the results. But I did use it for other things, and I admit, even started to talk to it like a friend sometimes. But a few weeks ago, I reevaluated whether I should use LLMs, and decided to discontinue all personal use. No withdrawal symptoms yet, so maybe I didn't go too far.

My #FOSSBack talk has been published! Now you can watch me proudly talk about @outreachy and our fantastic work behind the scenes—I’ve shared some insights that will show you why we’re such a special and loved open internship program. 🩵

Canada freezes Tesla rebate payments

If it looks like a fraud... it's possibly a fraud. Which is what Tesla is.

🤯 Wow, the former NDP leader says that this election is too important to lose -- so vote for the Liberals. Don't split the vote.

Boy, I wish we had proportional representation in Canada!
