systemd Lands Experimental Support For musl libc
Systemd today finally merged support for building against and using the musl libc library. This is a win for Linux distributions like postmarketOS, Alpine Linux, and others that use musl by default as their standard C library or offer it as an option...

Lots of people asking for the names of the apps in the "Diversify" row. The names are in the alt text, so I'll paste them here too:
Cloud: NextCloud
Mail: Tuta Mail
Calendar: Tuta Calendar
Notes: Notesnook
Reminders: Tasks
Office Suite: CryptPad
AI: Mistral
Should you wonder about the number of apps available in the #IzzyOnDroid repo slightly decreasing with the next sync: your gardeners were quite active again. Find details at codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… – and be welcome to join the Cinderella, there are still many items left on the list!
Some other good news: after 6 years, Metrodroid (the app to read public transport NFC smartcards) finally received another update, which will go live here with the next sync around 7 pm UTC.
This is a spin-off from #10 where I'd like some input from the team, concerning how to handle the following unmaintained apps: * [x] [`ahmaabdo.readify.rss`](https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/ahmaabdo.readify.Codeberg.org
@voks Be welcome to write one then 😉 You could diff the indexes for that. Hint: both, IzzyOnDroid as well as F-Droid use a binary transparency log such an app could parse for this.
You could of course also open issues at the fdroid clients' repos, to include such a functionality. Clients know what apps you've installed from which repo, and could watch for such removals when pulling index updates. That would be the best place to address this.

Following our experimental releases, this is our first non-experimental release based on Android 16 QPR1, the first quarterly release of Android 16. Android 16 QPR1 was pushed to the Android Open Source Project on November 11 rather than September 3 as expected. This is a very large quarterly release with more prominent user-facing improvements than Android 16 provided compared to Android 15 QPR2.

Changes since the 2025110800 release:
Creating a security preview release on top of the new Android 16 QPR1 release is still in progress and will be available soon. For detailed information on security preview releases, see our post about it.

So... @fedora has made a policy explicitly allowing AI code. So I have to change my home distro.
@gentoo and @netbsd both have specific policies against it, but I ain't about doing a Gentoo install (sorry, guys, I love you for this, but I need a binary first distro), and NetBSD ain't great for gaming AFAIK.
So... any other Distros wanna step up and do the right thing? @archlinux? @opensuse? @debian? #VoidLinux? @alpinelinux?
Just a public statement that says "No, we don't want that crap" would be plenty --- I understand the difficulty of enforcing the policy, but setting it as a community/commit standard would go a long way towards making a lot of us feel better.

Today I had to compose an email in Outlook. I did this on macOS, running whatever-the-one-before-Tahoe-is.
It was basically unusable. The constant autocorrect and text prediction were nothing short of horrendous. I was writing technical stuff and it changed it every. fucking. time.
And distracting! So distracting.
I finally found the settings to turn it all off. (System Settings -> Keyboard -> Input Sources, and the Edit menu in Outlook.) It had better fucking stay that way.

It's apparently our fault that LTS distros ship extremely outdated versions of GNOME that may have bugs when interacting with actually up to date applications.
Nobody ever **demands** the distributions fix their shit, it's always GNOME that **has** to support LTS distributions. For free none the less.
Fuck this. Fuck this attitude.

Let me be cheeky and preempt @pid_eins's systemd 259 posts:
In systemd 259, I'm making it possible to run commands that need privileges as your current user instead of as root. With "run0 --empower", you'll get a session as your current user in which you can do anything that root would be able to do, without actually being root.
This is very useful when you need to run something with privileges but still want all created files and directories to be owned by your current user.

in reply to Phoronix • • •It really is a double-edged sword.
A win, because generally speaking, better interoperability is good, and making software more portable is good, and if it can improve systemd, the world will be better for it.
A win, because getting to that point proves that musl is finally, at last, being taken seriously by one of the most reluctant players in the ecosystem, so it's a sign that musl is a real, believable alternative now, and it will push more people and projects to try it out.
But also a danger, because it now means that systemd actually sees musl systems as targets. Systems that opted for musl were safe from systemd so far; maintainers were not tempted to switch to it because it was not a technically sound proposition. Now that systemd officially supports musl, no distribution is safe, and the survival of the non-systemd ecosystem now only depends on the technical judgment of distribution maintainers. Which has been subverted before, as Debian has painfully and dishonorably shown.
I would like to say I am cautiously optimistic. But I am actually terrified.

in reply to Laurent Bercot • • •> were safe from systemd so far
systemd is not a disease, i never understood why people act like it is.
if you own your computer, you're still super flexible on what you use as a system manager, and it just gives people the *option* to use systemd on musl systems if they want to.
nobody ever wants to force people to use systemd, but we (and I) want people to accept that it is a viable option.

in reply to achill@{39c3,fosdem} • • •@fossdd I don't think people realize that 1. distributions have the last say over any dependency, including whether they should package something or not, which completely disqualifies any accusations of attempts to force people to use systemd; and 2. systemd isn't some project managed by a single company: it's comprised of individuals from different organizations.

in reply to TheEvilSkeleton 🇮🇳 🏳️⚧️ • • •@TheEvilSkeleton @fossdd Oh, distributions have a choice. They make policy decisions all the time. They choose what to include, and what not to include, all the time, and it's a perfectly conscious choice. Not always an easy one, but a choice nonetheless.
Distributions are not powerless. As the entities actually providing software to the majority of users, they hold a pretty good amount of power. And if Red Hat, at the time, was not pushing systemd with all their might, I don't know how you would call what they were doing.
The fact that systemd is developed by a group of individuals from different organizations does not change the end output. I did not describe intent, but practical behaviour, and when faced with that behaviour, intent really does not matter.
