Miss Behave

seriously, what is this? you could put ressource into the development of a newer and better version of the #librem5 , or design a linux-tablet from scratch (with hardware-kill-switches, unlike the #librem11 ) or a linux-smartwatch (with better specs than the already nice #pinetime ) or - if you wanna go crazy - design an open-source car etc... at least something useful in daily life, which is not creepy😐

@robin_kipp @alexhall Like I said, it isn’t perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it was. I would suggest installing it on a virtual machine first just to take a look at the user interface before you upgrade your production machine. And obviously if anyone finds any huge issues that I missed, file an issue.

Reminder: It’s okay not to have a take.

"The truth is that most events ultimately don’t matter. They pass away like clouds, here today, gone tomorrow without leaving a trace. Even more so, most world events aren’t actionable, in the sense that knowing about them doesn’t make any tangible difference to what you do or how you lead your life.

When you never withdraw from the stream of distraction, when you never allow yourself quiet time, the result is anxiety, depression and chronic stress. These aren’t inevitable responses to a broken world. They’re the symptoms of a brain that’s always on red alert, that never gets to relax or be calm or rest."

The EU’s Next Generation Internet programme has supported free, open source software for years. But now a silent death seems to be looming: An internal document suggests that financing may soon end. Developers are surprised and call for the programme’s survival.

A new version of MapComplete is out!

This one features many bugfixes, such as not having blank screens on Chrome and some error recovery. Critical errors during data uploads are now logged remotely, giving @pietervdvn some insight in what happens and which allows some data recovery.

Furthermore, a #barbeque and #firepit theme has appeared: mapcomplete.org/fireplace

After we had a conversation about how to use Airtags in travel for blind people, I was honored when Jessica Hipp asked me to write about it on the WayAround blog. I compared the use of Airtags and WayTags, concluding that they significantly contribute to my travel. I should have started using them years ago.

This is a refreshingly good look at why extensions with both full privileged access and dynamic script + style execution are a really bad idea, greatly weakening the CSP on every site:

How insecure is Avast Secure Browser?

Injecting arbitrary scripts and styles ought to require an extra permission and be selectively allowed on a per-site basis.
RE: floss.social/@alcinnz/11280356…


How insecure is Avast Secure Browser?

Another look into Avast Secure Browser shows a massive attack surface, with some issues mentioned five years ago only partially addressed, all while new ways to attack the browser have been added.
