With an ever-growing contributor base, GNOME infrastructure has an increasing number of demands placed on it — and only two engineers. AWS saved us from the burden of manually scaling our infra. Thank you AWS!
Different Fedora Linux variants (Spins/Labs) have different default environments. For example, the Fedora workstation uses GNOME as its default desktop environment, while the KDE spin will use KDE. Irrespective of…
@ebassi hi, non-expert Linux user here. This is a genuine question, I would like to learn and understand. How is this decision any good under the current landscape? Was it not possible to find other providers? Be it other US companies or companies in the EU? Thank you!
@apposada good luck finding a provider that gives the same features, allows a team of two part time SREs to manage a complex, ever growing infrastructure, and on top of that, it does all it for free.
an actual question (no malice): if GNOME needed to move away from AWS, would it require a significant amount of work, or is it sorta plug-n-play with any other provider?
With macOS Tahoe, you can now dictate Swift code, and navigate Xcode with Voice Control. Designed for developers with limited use of the keyboard, we strived to make the experience natural and intuitive. Just say the code like you're talking to a person, and let Voice Control handle the formatting for you.
Please check out the demo video (starts at 03:10), and give it a try. We can't wait to hear what you think.

We have packaged MapComplete as an Android app (available for testing on app.mapcomplete.org)
We are however also looking to get it published into the Google Play Store - but are facing difficulties. @pietervdvn (who will maintain this) can't get verified. Does someone have hints on what documents to submit?
Or is there someone out there whom already _has_ a verified developer account who want to publish the apps on our behalf? (Maybe @streetcomplete , @vespucci_editor or @CoMaps ?)
And yes, publishing on @fdroidorg is in the works too! We don't want to be independent of just Google for app distribution. It works without Google Play Services
For clarity: the main focus will still be the website. The app should give little benefit over using mapcomplete.org
In our feed there are some interesting horrible stories about Play Store against our Free Software app. Good luck with Google semestral censorship surprises. F-Droid is honestly very slow in releasing each tagged version (e.g. 4-5 days) but we still love F-Droid.
Congratulations 🍾 app are nightmares. We hope only the best after this choice.
(tip: toot about Google/F-Droid issues, people is happy to help also on fediverse)
Telegram wirbt mit Sicherheit – doch laut einer Recherche kontrolliert ein russischer Netzwerktechniker namens Vedeneev große Teile der Infrastruktur, inklusive IP-Adressen und Serverzugang. Seine Firmen kooperierten mit FSB & Militär. Selbst »Ende-zu-Ende«-Chats lassen sich laut Experten zur Nutzerverfolgung ausnutzen. 👇

Purism makes premium phones, laptops, mini PCs and servers running free software on PureOS. Purism products respect people's privacy and freedom while protecting their security.
there was an article recently that the German military aka #bundeswehr will use Google cloud for their stuff. German *military*.
So much for privacy. At least they didn't take Microsoft who were copying documents from the dutch government for 'diagnostics'. And google has way better security.
You guys in #tuta are fighting a fight worth having, but (in my opinion) you need to do things differently if you want to make a dent on US hegemony in this space.
I am a big fan and supporter of what you do, including a paid user.
Please, start working on the following 3 things: 1. UI / UX, your mobile app is super ugly. 2. Ironically, you say services should be interoperable, yet you do not support standard protocols, so we are stuck between web and electron. This is a big no for SMEs. Or build a decent outlook clone. 3. Drive. Legend package needs a drive. When is it going to be released?
until we have a Linux option where email company chat video meeting, company addressbook and calendar is all linked together as in outlook/teams, I don't think Microsoft will go.
I've been using alternatives for over 20 years, starting with EasyOffice back in 2002 or so and soon migrated to OpenOffice. After that it was LibreOffice and OnlyOffice. Though I'm thinking of going back to LibreOffice because of OnlyOffice's Russian relations...
props to the person responsible for "at the stroke of a pen" instead of the "click of a button" that I expected. Emphasizes the source of the danger better and is closer to decision makers' reality.
I tried on my PC and it didn't work, same with my phone but with my phone using mobile data it works so I can only think it's something ISP related maybe? I did try the ping command prompt and got a timed out so yeah very strange.
Just to check I tried with Firefox (main browser), chrome and edge and all of them didn't load the webpage.
I'm enjoying AI-generated video descriptions. I have no idea how accurate this is but ...
Shot from an extreme close-up, low-angle camera, a male house finch with a vibrant red head and breast is perched on a wooden feeder. In the background, a sunny, suburban backyard with a green lawn and a wooden fence is visible. Suddenly, another house finch swoops down from above, displacing the first bird, which flies away. The new finch takes its place on the perch. It looks directly into the camera, then pecks at the seeds below. It picks up a large, dark sunflower seed and, in a detailed close-up, expertly cracks the shell with its beak to eat the kernel inside.
@technocounselor @FreakyFwoof It's part of the google AI studio thing. @Orinks I presume there are endpoints through the API for files too, as well as studio on the web.
@Orinks @technocounselor @FreakyFwoof I've had several hundred kb of code in studio without it complaining, although Firefox slows up some the longer things go on.

From David Goldfield: an Introduction to Mastodon Note: As Groups.io defaults to masking what it thinks are email addresses in its Web archive, a portion of my Mastodon handle was cut off. It should read @DavidGoldfield
Did you deliberately omit your full username from your post? "If anyone on Mastodon would like to follow me, my handle is @DavidGoldfield@.... I typically don't" ...
You do mention earlier that you use tweesecake.social, but it's not close to the bit where you give your account name.
@cachondo Thanks for alerting me about that. Groups.io masks what it thinks are email addresses by default in its message archives. Apologies for that.
LibreOffice stands out as a privacy-respecting open source office suite. Unlike proprietary alternatives, the software is designed with privacy, user control and transparency in mind.
@nshiell Well, that depends on what you mean by "new". The @libodesign team created the tabbed user interface a couple of years ago and is working on improvements. Or do you mean something else?
I made that switch in ~2014, and I've had no use for Microsoft Office ever since.
My employer, on the other hand, is still using the full MS Office suite, and it makes me wonder how much HIPAA-protected patient information we're feeding into the AI slop machine.
Accidentally stumbled upon the AI company that was scraping the fediverse. Site design is criminal, keep scrolling and you'll see it in the timeline it draws
Back when Apple first revealed Aqua, there was a quote from an executive at a paper company. I haven't been able to find it in years, but it said something to the effect of, “we spend tons of R&D money trying to make paper as opaque as possible, and here Apple is spending CPU cycles deliberately making things translucent.”
That's been on my mind ever since, as UIs have gone through Aqua, Aero, iOS 7, etc.
