A draft for extensible profiles, a new release for Dendrite, and a new beta for Draupnir. That and much more happened This Week in Matrix!
Mozilla, reading the room extremely well, seemingly just recently flipped the switch to enable-by-default sponsored weather results from AccuWeather in every new Firefox tab you open. Clicking "Learn more" takes you here, with zero information on if your location is sent to AccuWeather every time you open a new tab: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/c…
Probably only noticed because I normally have a blank new tab page but this showed up after updating Firefox!

@oqq ah, that. Not sure about how much of it is fact and how much just nudging and pushing. I guess it's mostly the latter. Like the Play Protect warnings for "potentially harmful" apps when google does not know the signature because the dev has no play store account...
Did you experience any of those freezes etc yourself?
Introducing Casilda - A Wayland compositor widget!
A simple Wayland compositor widget for Gtk 4 which can be used to embed other processes windows in your Gtk 4 application.
It was originally created for Cambalache's workspace using wlroots, a modular library to create Wayland compositors.
Following Wayland tradition, this library is named after my hometown in Santa Fe, Argentina

This "untrusted data" patch series from Benno Lossin is the result of conversations at last weekend's Rust Linux kernel conference in Copenhagen:
lore.kernel.org/all/2024091311…
It's not a "silver bullet" for why we should be using rust in the Linux kernel, but it is a "big giant sledgehammer" to help squash and prevent from happening MANY common types of kernel vulnerabilities and bugs (remember, "all input is evil!" and this change forces you to always be aware of that, which is something that C in the kernel does not.)
I had always felt that Rust was the future for what we need to do in Linux, but now I'm sure, because if we can do stuff like this, with no overhead involved (it's all checked at build time), then we would be foolish not to give it a real try.
And yes, I've asked for this for years from the C developers, and maybe we can also do it there, but it's not obvious how and no one has come up with a way to do so. Maybe now they will have some more incentive :)

More specifically, prompt for file access… at the exact moment an app tries to access a while… by hooking in to system calls?!
“Firefox wants write access to /path/to/file” because it tried to open it, I guess?
Honestly it’s a cool idea and I’m curious to see it since it’s so different from the way this has been done so far, but also, uh, there *are* reasons for that.

question: is there a way to have libcurl pause after receiving all HTTP headers but before reading the HTTP body?
Or, is there a way to know that HEADERFUNCTION is being called for the last header?

Uber and Lyft Wave Fees For Passengers With Disabilities
You may have had the experience of having an Uber or Lyft driver show up at a pick-up location that is different from where you are waiting and you may have also incurred a charge for missing your first ride. For those who did not know, you can get a waiver of all wait fees from Uber and Lyft by certifying that you have a disability.
