#TIL that Mattermost is now offering its own bridge to Matrix, which depends on a Synapse instance running alongside the MM server;

This is what RocketChat were doing since about 2022. Although their documentation suggests they are working on full Matrix support inside the RC server itself, due sometime this month;

Kvalitní přílepek (c) donPablo & Benda. #odemčeno #DeníkN

"Byl to jeden z mnoha pozměňovacích návrhů a člověk by u azylového zákona nehledal změnu soudního řádu správního."

"Zpětně jsme se navíc dívali do podkladových materiálů, kde byla změna úspěšně zamlčena"

"Šlo to v balíčku ‚naprostých masakrů‘, kde jsem, přiznám se, hlasoval o některých zákonech, aniž jsem je četl."

P.S. V pozadí je můj jmenovec, kterého neznám.

Tajná reforma: Blažek s Bendou propašovali změny správního soudnictví do azylového zákona, sporný paragraf napsal advokát developerů

Vládní politici potichu prosadili změny ve správním právu. Využili k tomu přílepek u azylové novely. Odborníci se obávají, že novinka může občany odradit od sporů se státem i stavebníky.

To anybody who uses gnome today: I haven't used gnome in a few years. I stopped because it didn't have a system tray for things like steam, discord, teams, docker, podman, etc...

I had to use an extension to get one there but it broke after every update.

Is a system tray (or something like it) built in yet? Where do the icons for those background apps sit? Are they forced into the space of the dock with the other apps? Or is there another approach that doesn't break after every update?

Hey, lately, I've been generally unmotivated to contribute to free and open-source projects because I can't sustain myself long-term. I can't find any local or online job that allows me to make a positive impact and not feel depressed. I am not receiving a sufficient number of donations either.

I would really appreciate some donations. Your support would enable me to continue working on accessibility throughout @gnome and writing educational and informative articles.

You can donate to me via: Liberapay (preferred), Ko-fi, and GitHub Sponsors.

Boosts welcome and very much appreciated.

Mahjongg was accepted into Circle! 🀄🀄🀄

It's one the historical GNOME games, but thanks to Mat's modernization work over the past few cycles it looks very fresh and clean nowadays. Welcome :)

Sharepic with the Mahjongg app icon on green background and the GNOME Circle logo in the bottom right. The app icon consists of three Mahjongg tiles with different symbols on them, stacked in a pyramid shape.

Match tiles and clear the board – Single-player tile-matching game, commonly known as Mahjong solitaire. Tiles are stacked on the board at the start of the game. The goal is to remove all the tiles in as little time...

Welcome to the age verification era! 🔞 🔍

Here's why you should be concerned

❌ Risks your privacy & security
❌ Threatens anonymity & freedom of speech
❌ It's often ineffective

We explore in today's article 👉 tuta.com/blog/age-verification…

#onlinesafetyact #ageverification #surveillance

Will age verification protect children or kill anonymity? Screenshot of an age verification banner on PornHub asking user to verify age.

Age Verification: Does it protect children or kill anonymity? | Tuta

Age verification laws like the UK’s Online Safety Act are meant to protect children from harmful content, but they also increase the risks of surveillance and an internet that’s not anonymous.

Does age verification really have to rely on face scans, document uploads, or other invasive methods? 🔍 Isn't there a way to do it that respects user privacy? 🛡️

I have an idea that - while it would need some adjustments - seems reasonable to me, especially when we're talking about such a sensitive topic. In my country, Poland, ID cards have an NFC chip 📲 that contains encrypted data, including the date of birth. Access to this data requires a PIN 🔐 that is set at the government office.

Wouldn't it be possible to create an app that reads this data from the ID when first launched, and then requires the PIN each time to decrypt the date of birth? The app could communicate with the browser locally and simply send a yes or no answer ✅❌ about whether the user meets the required age - without revealing any personal data.

Of course I know not every country has such ID cards, but if they truly care about protecting children 👶, they should first make sure to create proper, secure solutions - ones that respect human rights 🧭 and don't violate citizens' privacy.

That's my opinion - but I'm open to other perspectives if there's something wrong with this approach 💬

As of today (well, technically yesterday), django.tasks is officially released upon the world! Mostly. Note that django.tasks and django-tasks are in fact different, albeit by a single character. Take care when reading.

I kind of like the proposed idea of Linux-style "middleman" packaging, in which I don't install little libraries via many transitory dependencies, I install larger bundled collections that are updated, audited, and shrinkwrapped/vendored at a slightly lower frequency. However, I suspect this would require moving over to an entirely new package manager in order to have a clean break from npm's tiny module culture, which means it's probably a non-starter.

The "trusted publisher" system used by PyPI would make some of the ways this worm spread more difficult: docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishe…

There is no authentication token on my machine that would allow publishing to all PyPI packages I own. Instead I've indicated that releases will be made by a particular CI workflow running on Github. That workflow can prove it's identity to the package registry and publish the package.

There's still the possibility that a dependency could infect the builds uploaded to PyPI, but it won't be able to infect all of the author's packages in one step.

As for the argument that distro packaging solves the problem, I'm not totally convinced on that. It can help, but I've seen enough cases where the distro packager just trusts changes from the upstream. We got awfully close to the xz backdoor being widely deployed.
