The gnome she'll team gives their annual state of #GNOME Shell talk. Highlights: - Basic HDR has landed all up and down the stack (hooray!) Work is progressing on additional improvements, including color management - Many new Wayland protocols have been added, bringing QoL improvements, some gaming related - Input, including the global shortcuts portal - Accessibility improvements to reader shortcuts and visual alerts - triple buffering landed, amongst other speedups
(I'm super proud of this work we did here, and hope people understood Federico's talk. We believe we have a better way of architecting applications, and have a good testing system)
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).

Microsoft admits it 'cannot guarantee' data #sovereignty - theregister.com/2025/07/25/mic… "Under oath in French Senate, exec says it would be compelled – however unlikely – to pass local customer info to US admin" and there we have it... #trump
I just gave a talk about conference accessibility, complained about the lack of captions, and made my slides in such a way that they act as captions so you can follow even if you're deaf. I just watched the replay, my slides are hidden during the first 40% of the talk. For fuck's sake. This community can't be helped. So here are my slides: gitlab.gnome.org/uploads/-/sys…
An exciting Postgres detective story, the Matrix Community Summit next week in Berlin, and the Matrix-based TI-Messenger available to those with German health insurance - this and more happened This Week in Matrix!
Features include: a link to Panoramax street photos (where photos available), improved contour lines, color improvements for many map features, and many more.
@pietervdvn @MapComplete The image itself is not shown in the app. Instead, you get a link that brings you to the image on Panoramax. But it does include alle MapComplete images.
@Limaginaire @MapComplete Yeah, I just tested it as well. This seems like a good step into the direction of actually _showing_ the image in the app, as the data is already there. Maybe a next version?
> I have to pass 256Kb of text as an argument to the "aws sqs"
what, uhhh, what
> MAX_ARG_STRLEN is defined as 32 times the page size in linux/include/uapi/linux/binfmts.h: > The default page size is 4 KB so you cannot pass arguments longer than 128 KB. > I modified linux/include/uapi/linux/binfmts.h to #define MAX_ARG_STRLEN (PAGE_SIZE * 64), recompiled my kernel and now your code produces
casually patching the kernel to send a quarter megabyte as a *single* argument oh my god i'm laughing hard
Back when 128 kB was the limit for argv+envp, Google was hitting it too because they passed all the configuration for their whole software stack on the command line as --long-option=value switches.
Their solution? Compress the command line. So every binary started by ungzipping argv[1] and parsing it to get the configuration.
The person explaining this to me saw my horrified face, and said with the perfect Hide The Pain Harold smile: "a series of individually completely rational and reasonable decisions led to this." and I have been thinking a lot about it since.
Recall is a feature that takes screenshots of your activity throughout the day. And yes, we have a few privacy concerns about that. So we’ve added a way to block it completely.
THANK YOU! WE DID IT! Just 85 days into my Sell 100 Albums in 100 Days, we have achieved our goal! Yesterday's sale at Ampwall tipped us over the threshold to 100 album sales (including full discography sales) since release day.
Check out the album that at least 100 people were willing to pay real money for!
Trump Demands Reporters Stop Talking About Him And Epstein In New White House Scrum -- Claims 'I Have Nothing To Do With The Guy!' (Tommy Christopher/Mediaite)
Gazans are starving to death as we speak. This manufactured famine is unconscionable — a true crime against humanity. Aid MUST be let in now. This week, Standing Together organized a major protest, thousands of Palestinians and Jewish Israelis carrying sacks of flour through the streets 🧵
During WWII MANY governments knew what was going on inside Germany, but they were also engaged in a world war.
Here, there’s no excuse. Every single leader in the world KNOWS they are watching genocide (or at the very least ethnic cleansing, if they’re too squeamish for the other word).
How the fuck have they convinced themselves they can somehow tiptoe through this morally, ethically, historically.
It speaks volumes about how amoral they are, to how stupid and short sighted they are.
You know, I absolutely understand the argument that there is very little most countries (other than the US) can do to stop this. But there is something - they can call it what it is. They can stop trading with the perpetrators. They can stop pretending not to see the enormity of the atrocity.
Because this moral deficit, this failure to even be a clear-eyed witness… this is unforgivable. Historically unforgivable.
Meta to stop selling political ads in the EU from October techcrunch.com/2025/07/25/meta… The EU "mandates companies selling ads to clearly label political ads; provide information about their sponsor, the election or referendum they concern, what the ad cost, and targeting mechanisms used".
Meta is sad: “we’re seeing regulatory obligations effectively remove popular products and services from the market".
With whom is micro-targeted brainwashing popular, you shady zuckwits?
In response to the European Union's incoming regulation of political advertising, Meta said on Friday that it would stop selling and showing political ads in the EU from October 2025.

Nedavali jsme ji tak casto jako zoo, protoze to neni tolik kocarek friendly. Ale to se ted zmenilo! V botance otevreli pobocku Fofr kafe, coz je hipsterina naseho gusta. Muzeme zapomenou na italii na capim hnizde (kavarna v zoo, ne bures) a uzivat poradny kafe.
Ma to mouchy. Nemaji hrnecky. Ale pracuji na tom. Nemaji batch. Ale pracuji na tom. Proste se pocita, ze tam lidi nechodi moc casto, tak na cokoli se zeptate, reknou, ze uz to resi a urcite to bude. Tuto taktiku schvalujeme. Slibem nezarmoutis.
Navstevu doporucujeme! Pokud mate pocit, ze ve vyctu botanickych bengru neni zadna kytka, tak si aspon vychutnejte drsnoploda na fotce.
I'm inclined to prioritize safety over uptime here, particularly in an environment where unconstrained (and frankly irresponsible) automatic deployment is rampant.
Safety, then remediation, then process improvement.
Sure, but I would think blocking and flagging the block for manual review does that? I'd imagine that if a reasonable human had started examining this earlier, they would have been able to review and act on the primary maintainer's claims that the package is safe more quickly.
So…in theory sure, it’s always easy to look at the board from the side and say, coulda, shoulda, but we don’t get process improvement by ignoring the miserable realities of human stress responses. While I don’t know for sure, there’s a decent chance that this is the first time some, maybe all, of the principals in this are navigating an insider threat with no runbook, no training, no clear lines of support. When you’re already panicking, a panic-stop is a good idea!
Somewhat cynically, if your build system pulls directly from NPM you have, whether you realized it or not, decided that developer convenience is simply more important than product integrity or security, which are worth zero dollars to you.
The idea that 100% uptime infrastructure is just there somehow, is unrealistic.
Bookworm's text DAISY support is moving in a good direction, rather slowly of course. With yesterday's modifications, Bookworm can now use heading navigation and bring up the Elements list in text DAISY books. However, links still cannot be activated in such books. github.com/blindpandas/bookwor…
This PR aims to introduce daisy support into bookworm.
Currently, the daisy format targeted is daisy 3.
Since adding media support isn't trivial in our case, only text books will be supported.
...
@clv0 I'm also gradually switching to it full-time. I can't stand Thorium's overcomplexities and sluggishness, and QRead is dead. QRead also places blank lines among paragraphs, and I don't like it. Just hope a few Bookworm bugs are ironed out faster.
How to find out that you are possibly in a country with a TT earthing system: - you still find some unearthed sockets, especially in dry rooms, - you will see two-pole circuit breakers everywhere, because you cannot trust that the voltage between N and earth is always safe, - you will see RCDs everywhere because earth loop has high resistance
In the case of Spain, I see C10 circuit breakers everywhere. I wonder whether it has something to do with the code or just this place.

A few days ago I discovered that its possible to add manmade bird nests. I was standing near a stork's nest when I found the topic. And directly added a picture.
I also found by chance that beehives can be added. And that there are also viewpoints to add under the theme of nature.
It would be nice if there was some information and not find by chance.
something new thats still hidden under some Theme?

Kdybyste si měli vybrat nějaký online kurz (klidně placený) pro vzdělávání v oboru IT, na co byste se dívali, podle čeho byste vybírali? Vidím, že existuje Coursera, Udemy, edX, LinkedIn Learning... Předpokládám, že kvalitativně to bude všechno +- stejné, tak jde spíš o hodnotu toho kurzu z pohledu zaměstnavatele ("Jó, Michal viděl 10 hodin videí na Khan Academy, ten bude asi dobrej!")
@mwenisch Ten kurz probíhá nějakou formou interakce s tím přednášejícím? Osobně bych rád nějaké neinteraktivní kurzy, ideálně předtočená videa (a otitulkovaná), osobní povídání by mě stresovalo.
2.19.1 is in the pipeline with some minor bug fixes.
The next version will also show the 'Last Seen' timestamp a little more prominently for those who have Last Seen enabled. (and the underlying algorithm has been modified)
Do you think we should use the subtitle to show number of participants in public conferences now that we made subtitles a part of the UI anyway?
