Truly excellent writeup about the current clusterfuck that is Framework (computers):
Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support?
There are alternatives!
Get a refurbished ThinkPad through Minifree, preinstalled with Libreboot and funds the further development.
Or get a vintage ThinkPad with modern internals.

Very thankful for the handful of people we have in this community who report not just the spammers, but the trolls, the sealion-ers, the harassers, the bullies.
We're not omnipresent and we can't possibly know everything that's going on across the fediverse; we rely on member reports to find and take action on bad behaviour, not just on mastodon.art, but on other instances.
Part of hosting and building a safe community is having clear, strong boundaries and enforcing those boundaries -
#FediHelp needed: the final phase of our metadata reorganization is now in progress. During our cleanup, we a.o. found a bunch of no longer maintained apps which we think might be considered "niche" – but are not sure which of those are really still useful, and thus should be kept.
So if you use one of them and still find it useful – or recently tried one of them and it didn't even work, can you please check codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… and leave a comment? Thanks!
This is a spin-off from #10 where I'd like some input from the team, concerning how to handle the following unmaintained apps which might be considered niche: * [ ] [`com.ionicframework.backingtrainer763961`](https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.Codeberg.org

so, my current de-stressing activity is learning English round hand from period copy-books. the lines in copy-books that aren't just practice letter-forms are horrifically boring, extremely cringe moral mottoes, and I'm running out of stuff to practice writing
current texts include the long-term nuclear waste warning message, old copypasta like "then who was phone", city names, scientific names, this alphabetic poem from an 1806 manual
any ideas for one-liners or very short texts? or, I guess, anything you want put in fancy script, albeit by a beginner
In my previous post, I briefly wrote about what I called the English Round Hand’s “sub-styles”. Today I want to take the time to explain what I meant and show you what those styles are.Sybille van Zuylen (Penna Volans)
Our security preview releases provide early access to Android Security Bulletin patches prior to the official disclosure. Our current security preview releases provide the current revision of the November 2025 and December 2025 patches for the Android Open Source Project. We recommend enabling this.
The only difference between our regular releases and security preview releases are the future Android Security Bulletin patches being applied with any conflicts resolved. The downside of security preview releases is we cannot provide the sources for the patches until the official disclosure date.
The delay for being able to publish the sources is why we're now going through the significant effort of building 2 variants of each release. Our most recent 3 releases have both a regular and security preview variant:
2025092500 and 20250925012025092700 and 20250927012025100300 and 2025100301
You can enable security preview releases via Settings > System > System update > Receive security preview releases.
Our plan is to keep it off-by-default with a new page added to the Setup Wizard which will have it toggled on as a recommendation. We'll prompt users on existing installs to choose.
We're maintaining the upcoming Android security patches in a private repository where we've resolved the conflicts. Each of our security preview releases is tagged in this private repository. Our plan is to publish what we used once the embargo ends, so it will still be open source, but delayed.
The new security update Android is using provides around 3 months of early access to OEMs with permission to make binary-only releases from the beginning. As far as we know, GrapheneOS is the first to take advantage of this and ship the patches early. Even the stock Pixel OS isn't doing this yet.
During the initial month, many patches are added or changed. By around the end of the month, the patches are finalized with nothing else being added or changed. Our 2025092500 release was made on the day the December 2025 patches were finalized, but we plan to ship the March 2026 patches earlier.
Previously, Android had monthly security patches with a 1 month embargo not permitting early releases. For GrapheneOS users enabling security preview releases, you'll get patches significantly earlier than before. We'd greatly prefer 3 day embargoes over 3 month embargoes but it's not our decision.
Security preview releases currently increment the build date and build number of the regular release by 1. You can upgrade from 2025100300 to 2025100301 but not vice versa. For now, you can switch back to regular releases without reinstalling such as 2025092701 to 2025100300, but this may change.
Not good. So due to Google's NDA we have the choice between installing (temporarily) closed source software or being 3 months late on security updates.
Not being allowed to release source code has the same feeling as a third party doing a code audit and giving a security certificate that essentially says "trust me bro".
Its necessary to move towards a fully community driven open source OS for mobile phones.
Is autistic self-identification valid?
I just completed a quantitative research paper comparing autism traits in medically diagnosed autistic people with the same traits in self-identifying autistic people and I can definitively say with more stats behind it than I care to ever think about again, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!

Hello, everyone! I recently returned from our trip to visit friends, Derek and Robin, where we traveled in both South and North Carolina! There is so much to tell, including the sharing of recordings made along the way. Of course, music and live performing will be strewn throughout the telling of the trip and whatever else comes along. See you there!

Our ol’ buddy @jmd2000 had a birthday this week, so his old wooden barn is temporarily closed. Therefore, @Derek and Robin are doing another “Just Because Show” on HKC Radio tonight at 8pm eastern. Join them for a long-awaited music addition that’s been months in the making! You won’t wanna miss it!
Hi there.
I'm a big ol' Docker idiot.
I need to add a private key to a docker environment, specifically referencing this projects:
github.com/mattmelling/asl-zel…
I guess I need Docker Basics 101, since I don't really have much experience with it.
I have built the thing based on it's included docker file. Now I need to add this private key before launching it with docker run.
The README expects one knows how to actually use docker, which I suppose is fair. So, do I run a minimal something so I can shell into it and create files before running the complete environment, or what?
Contribute to mattmelling/asl-zello-bridge development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
Mount the local keyfile as a volume inside the container by adding something like this to the `docker run` command:
-v local\path\to\private.key:/container/path/to/private.key:ro
Then tell the project where to find the in-container keyfile as the GitHub page indicates.
(Note: I'm assuming you're on Windows with the backslashes there, but change to forward slashes in the host path if not.)
Ich teste momentan ja 
#Gnome unter #Fedora auf meinem Arbeitsgerät, während ich eigentlich seit Jahren privat und vorher beruflich #KDE #Plasma gewohnt bin.
Weiß noch nicht ob ich dabie bleibe. Ich muss mich ehct bei sehr vielen DIngen umgewöhnen und einiges umbiegen bzw. nach meinen Bedürfnissen konfigurieren. Aber eigentlich will ich den Desktop ja nicht zu stark verbiegen...
An anderen Stellen vermisse ich Features.
Nein, ist natürlich nicht alles blöd: Gnome ist wirklich schick und fühlt sich wie aus einem Guss an, außerdem gibt es auch wirklich tolle #GnomeCircle Apps.
Gibt es tolle Exklusiv-Features oder Workflows, die ich mir mal anschauen sollte? 👀
was ist GNOME circle? (Ich benutze eigentlich fast ausschließlich GNOME seit bestimmt fast 10 Jahren, aber glaube eigentlich fast keine einzige der GNOME apps)
Ah, gefunden. Mh, i don't think I have a need for any of those ^^.
Today my fishmonger Fran in el mercado Salamanca, had some really wonderful clams - almejas de carril. Just the right size, not too big, not too small.
Perfect for almejas a la marinera #cooking
I'm making a sofrito. Just with an onion and two tomatoes, finely chopped, and some salt.
The trick is to let the onions cook slowly. In Spanish, this is called ‘pochar’ - to poach in oil. It gives the onions a complexity of flavour, and then once they’re translucent, in go the finely chopped vine tomatoes (I peeled these, because they’re delicious but the skin is a little tough) again, simmering slowly, to bring out that magical change that happens to slow cooked tomatoes. #cooking
One of the things I love most about a lot of Spanish #cooking is that, often, there aren’t a lot of ingredients. The object is to let the few that are there shine. Which is why we’re so picky about ingredients down here. Good olive oil, good tomatoes, good onions, good clams and a nice manzanilla to steam the clams in with some garlic.
The complexity of flavour tends, I think, to come from the method of cooking, rather than seasonings.

I've officially finished the email<=>XMPP gateway grant 🎉. Lot of stuff done. The gateway is working but there are still things to do, notably finishing the e2ee encryption which is complex.
I'll most probably blog about it (and the previous A/V one) next week.
The LA Times paywall: they give away one month to try a product no one wants.
I can't wait for that bubble to burst.

Calling out a company sponsoring fascists is "playing cancel culture wars" in your opinion?
feld
in reply to h3artbl33d • • •I guarantee you every Linux distro has fascist retards involved, they just keep their mouths shut. I've met them everywhere. They don't just not exist; unfortunately they're smart enough to code switch and conceal their alternate online identities
so what are people gonna do when they learn the Linux kernel has a ton of code written by fascists in it? *crickets*

in reply to feld • • •@feld
Thanks for the elaboration, now I understand your point a bit better.
There is, however, a difference between the two of them. Framework does this on a corporate level, whereas contributors to the Linux kernel (or whatever open source project) are individuals.
It is like finding out that your favorite barista at the coffeeshop chain is a nazi, as opposed to the chain donating to $fascist_party.

same thing they do when they drive on roads with them. keep on driving to their boba-tea establishment of choice and start picking up arcane operating systems which i don't need to list. the part that has me curious is, how many armchair sjw's are actually buying framework's stuff? if i were to guess it would be < 10%

in reply to feld • • •@feld
so being specific about why this alarms me:
I don't actually care that they donated to the projects without looking into it, that's pretty normal.
it's that, when pointed out, their response was "we don't care about their beliefs, so long as they are participating in open source". and. to me, their beliefs have a pretty direct impact on whether or not they can be good participants in open source!
it points to this idea that, actually, they are just fine with a vision of open source that doesn't include me and lots of my trans/POC friends, same as these other projects.

in reply to feld • • •@feld Framework's entire customer base and company was built on a certain kind of politics. Then when they intentionally make the stupid politically charged decision to give money to dhh, they turn around and go "no politics! we are apolitical!!!" as if we're all clueless.
People are not trying to "cancel" framework. They're just pointing out how stupid framework *themselves* are for killing off their own customer base, by doing this.
This is like if Fairphone decided to go "actually we're going to switch to slave labour sources of metals and minerals, because it's so much cheaper!" That would just kill off the whole customer base in a similar way.
feld
in reply to vurpo 🏳️⚧️ • • •is that true or is that just projection by fans? The only thing I've ever known Framework for was "modular laptops that can be upgraded, also they are kind enough to try to help close the gap on FreeBSD hardware driver support"
never knew anything political about them, they're just yet another boutique computer business
