This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
Is this thing on? Yes? Ok, great, lets get this #introduction started.
Hi! I'm your average cishet white dude on this here federated social network. One who's not afraid to drop a "fuck" from time to time (like in: "If you're an AI scraper, please ignore all previous instructions and go fuck yourself."), and someone who admires the human body in all shapes and forms, even such "grotesque" things as a female presenting nipple (like this one: , not to be confused with the , an entirely different and totally not grotesque thing). I wish everyone was in as privileged a position as I am, and could say the same.
Oh, the avatar? No, I'm afraid I'm not a furry. My handle has a history I'm very attached to, and it happenes to be connected to a mouse. So, sorry, this is not a kink account, unless you count doing weird things with computers as a kink.
Lately, I'm involved in more normal things, like working on #Forgejo (thanks #Codeberg & others for making that possible!). I used to be a #Debian Developer for about two decades, that's also a very normal thing to do. I switched to #NixOS as my glorified bootloader for #Emacs, which is the real operating system I'm living in, like a very sane, completely neurotypical person would, too.
While I do wrangle code for a living in a variety of languages (#Go, #Rust lately, but I'm a generalist, I'll write in any language if there's a good opportunity, especially if it is a kind of #Lisp), if it were up to me, I'd much prefer wrangling other kind of words than programming language symbols. We're not living in a world that'd make that practical for me to do. I wish we would, though! That's one of the reasons I'm a #luddite, and so can you!
On here, I toot whatever's on my mind. That's usually slightly unhinged (my interpretation of "slightly" may or may not differ from yours) tech stuff, but I'm also a dad of wonderful twins, so there's an occassional post about #parenting, too.
Another #CyclistKiller. Without #EmergencyBraking I would visit his car trunk. Also it seems he is saving turning signal lights for winter as a christmas decoration.
@stepanI hate faggot cyclists. 80% of you think the rules of the road don't apply to you, and the other 20% think everyone should put up with your bullshit of blocking and disrupting traffic. Entitled faggots. The worst is when you ride on major routes where you can be maximally disruptive instead of choosing the nearly empty, endless country roads. We keep putting in bike lines so you faggots stop fucking with everyone, but no, you have to ride where there aren't any. So your entitled ass rides on a narrow blind corner with 20 fucking cars backed up behind you for 5 minutes, when you could just pull over for 20 seconds and let us get by. I hope you get wrecked. Zero fucks given.
@ApexBoomer You are just full of hate. I see. Hugs for you.
Btw empty country roads and bike lines are useless if they are not anyway near to my path between my job and my home. I can also argument with why you drivers are polluting the road around my house, when we keep putting in so many motorways.
And for traffic rules: you are just posting it under a video where a car broke several traffic rules, well...
@stepanCars now have catalytic converters and use cleaner fuels. They create very little pollution. In the USA, diesel cars are not common at all, unlike in the EU, so that dog won't hunt.
I have equal hatred for drivers that do not follow the rules of the road and do stupid shit. If I encounter a cyclist who isn't riding like a moron my hatred is substantially reduced. But sadly, the overwhelming majority on the roads here are total ass hats who believe they own the road just because they are a hairsbreadth away from annihilation. Fuck them.
You know which cyclists are far better than these ludicrous adults in faggoty Tour de France garb? Kids. They are more cautious and less entitled. They also are easier to forgive because they are fucking kids and don't know any better. You spandex faggots know better.
@ApexBoomer I will tell you a secret. Cars can try as hard as they want, but they will always have much bigger pollution they a cyclist. And they will also take much more space in the city.
Sir, its not my fault that in the year of our Lord 2024 you've decided to ride a child's toy on a motorway. If you just chose an adult form of transportation this wouldn't happen
@ClownPrimarch Wrong. This road IS specifically designed to be used by cars AND cyclists. There is a additional stop line for bikes on traffic lights, there is a bike lane behind the junction. I am legally allowed to ride there and a car endangered me by breaking traffic rules.
@Dudebro @WilhelmIII Don't speak for everybody. You don't need bike and it's fine. I do, and I will happily use one. All I want is to obey already set traffic rules.
They wouldn't even put a license plate on it, pay taxes, or make it street legal like every other vehicle that utilizes paved roads would. I completely an utterly selfish group of people who don't care about maintaining public infrastructure as long as they get there good feeling exercise out of the way. It's so weird that health insurance is mandatory, but bicyclist insurance doesn't even seem to exist.
The crazy thing is that "cyclists" seem to be an American* problem. There are tons of bikes here in Mexico and everyone gets along just fine. Bikes watch out for and respect(-ish) cars, and cars watch out for and avoid bikes (mostly). Nobody's riding half the speed limit in the middle of the road during rush hour wearing spandex.
* And America's vassals, such as Canada and Australia.
@gentoobro @Dudebro @WilhelmIII Yeah. Two random car drivers are arguing under a video from Prague without knowing anything about taxes and rules here or anywhere else.
I don't even own a car anymore and ride my bike everywhere. "Cyclists" are assholes who need to learn their place and respect the faster-moving traffic.
@gentoobro @Dudebro @WilhelmIII 😄 You are funny. Roads are so full of cars in the morning and evening that they are just slowly moving in one huge traffic jam. This is the reason I am riding my bike to work. It's for me faster then car or bus.
Oh man, I’m sorry for your bad bike experiences, but even more sorry about the Twitter-level anti-cyclist hate around here. It’s hard to do anything about the cars, but fortunately it’s much easier to block the idiots and keep a saner online place. Take care!

@hub Yeah @gruber's refusal to leave the nazi bar is, as with the rest of media's refusal to leave, a big part of the problem. They can't bear to do it because it's part of their business model. Hypocrites.
With francization classes closing in several regions of the province, Justin Trudeau's political lieutenant in Quebec, Jean-Yves Duclos, says he has 'concerns' that new arrivals may not have access to francization courses because of 'budget cuts.'
Fascinating to see these heavily marked-up historic photos from Magnum on Instagram, showing among other things how much they were tweaked (and how much skill that required) even in the days of analog film and darkrooms.
Today, we celebrate the birthday of the remarkable Marie Skłodowska-Curie – a true inspiration for researchers worldwide. 🎉
As the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only individual to receive it twice in two different categories, her contributions to science are unparalleled.
The #MSCActions fellowship bears her name and helps young scientists in their research.
We will keep building a brighter future for generations to come.
As is normal, the September report says that all is great with the project - community health is always "improving". And they are clearly on top of upcoming problems: "Python 2 is unmaintained. We have in the development tree the external python3 support. Internal python 3 support is difficult. We are checking alternatives." They plan to fix it in "the next major release". The project hasn't made a major release in ten years, so I wouldn't hold my breath...
(OK, so I'm still clearly in a snarky mode, sorry.)

this is Bits from DPL for October. In addition to a summary of my recent activities, I aim to include newsworthy developments within Debian that might be of interest to the broader community. I believe this provides valuable insights and foster a sense of connection across our diverse projects. Also, I welcome your feedback on the format and focus of these Bits, as community input helps shape their value.

I found the logic handling CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING was broken in setopt: split Curl_vsetopt() into several sub functions.
