Support for roster pre approval - even independently of 'easy onboarding' - would be great. I've had a client side version of that for a decade but obviously this is something that the server should do on my behalf.
Google creating a global centralized registration system for new Android apps is a bad idea for users, for developers, and competition. Google should nip it in the bud now. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/appl…
In the mist of shite political news from around the world, here's a good news story, the Danish Foreign Minister give the Egyptian Foreign Minister a Lego set of the Pyramids as a gift, just look at his face ;)

@crazyeddie as far as I can assess, it looks like a vast majority of this is automated/bot traffic. It's too much 301 responses and HTTP/1 for what browsers would generate.
Apple Shortcuts has had one known accessibility improvement in iOS 26.1. You can now easily edit Shortcuts with VoiceOver with the inclusion of a new action on the main Shortcuts list.
Step towards reconciliation hailed as ‘a historic moment’ with premier Jacinta Allan saying it gives Aboriginal Australians the power to shape policies that affect their lives
I'm glad indigenous rights are making some progress. I entered law school the year after the famous Mabo decision, and indigenous recognition has largely gone downhill since then.
Local restaurants...I beg you...maintain an actual Web Site...that isn't Facebook or Instagram...I am pleading with you...just a simple site, on the web...for me, your old pal Sadsquatch...
When a friend told me they were putting up a statue to Margaret Thatcher in her birthplace, my immediate response was, "Why, had there been a problem with the existing public toilets?"
We're so happy to annouce that we have an open source design devroom and we're now accepting calls for talks via the FOSDEM pretalx system.
Open Source Design has been part of FOSDEM for over a decade now, making sure designers who work with, or contribute to free, libre and open source software (FLOSS) a platform to share their ideas.
• 80% of respondents would (very) likely go • so HackerTrain to FOSDEM 2026 is going to happen • it will be organized as a distributed affair on several routes to accommodate for the diverse geographical and temporal needs • most people would pay 100-120 € one way (we likely cannot affect that this year much)
does anybody know if #Yunohost management interface is accessible for screen reader users? // Est-ce que quelqu'un sait si l'interface de gestion de Yunohost est accessible aux utilisateurs de lecteurs d'écran ? Merci ! #Accessibility #Accessibilité
You can access a demo of both systems actually, though bear in mind Cloudron is going through a major new version so the demo on the site is for that version. i think new installs still default to version 8. Cloudron provides all the usual packages, I have a couple of LAMP instances running that host a couple of PHP websites as well as the Mastodon instance running here.
Calling all web hackers, engine developers, and browser enthusiasts! The Browser and Web Platform Devroom at #FOSDEM2026 is open for talk proposals - from Gecko to Blink, Servo to Ladybird, and everything in between. Submit by December 1, 2025: fosdem.org/submit #FOSDEM
The theft at the Louvre reveals security flaws in the world's most visited museum. The passwords for the video surveillance systems were extremely simple.
@bogo @aral One of the most common things I get asked to do is to relax and, if possible, remove altogether anything tied to security. People just do not want to be bothered with access codes and things like that. Even after they get burned, they just won't listen.
oh wow, Tuta is a historic company and this seems like a very good opportunity for people in that field to get involved in their important work. nice nice nice 🌻

Und woher kommen sie? Aus Werbemodulen in Apps. Geschäftsmodell: Datenhandel.
Holt Eure Apps also besser von IzzyOnDroid und @fdroidorg (und darauf achten, dass möglichst kein "Ads" Anti-Feature gesetzt ist). Aber ob die EU das lernt?
Händler bieten Bewegungsdaten von Millionen EU-Bürgern zum Verkauf an. Weil sich nach Recherchen von BR und netzpolitik.org auch Personal von EU-Institutionen ausspähen lässt, passt die Kommission ihre Richtlinien für Mitarbeiter an.

Thx for sharing this. Our products are not OSS, but I'm in the process of gathering all sorts of information about the upcoming #CRA and this might be helpful.
A lot! One of the most common reactions or questions I get about curl when I show up at conferences somewhere and do presentations: -- is curl still being actively developed? How many more protocols can there be? This of course being asked by people …
"We work hard at maintaining backwards compatibility and not breaking existing use cases. If you cannot spot any changes and your command lines just keep working, it confirms that we do things right."
We apprehensively followed the developments and the debate concerning Framework’s endorsement and support of Omarchy. We have no direct experience with this Linux distribution, its community, nor with the political environment around it. We did not speak up before now because learning about all of it and keeping up with all the commentary would have been a full-time job. Unfortunately we do not have the time to read every single comment on the dedicated forum thread.
Despite our admittedly limited and superficial understanding of this matter, we believe we have witnessed and read enough to make an informed decision and take a clear position.
The statements from Framework and from Nirav Patel (its CEO) made it very clear for us that Framework is not a company we feel represented by any more, and surely not a company that we want to represent as Ambassadors.
To be frank, it is not even necessary to dive into the petty drama about the recent events in order to provide an explanation of our decision. We are deeply disappointed by a company that is self-proclaimed as the resistance of the tech industry, the good David that intends to stand against the big tech Goliaths that are devouring it. Framework’s behaviour brought to surface an embarrassing and absurd inability to take an explicitly political position, blinded by the Western patriarchal narrative that technology in itself is not political. By trying to keep everyone happy (or at least not to make anyone mad) inside a fictitious “big tent”, the company proved to be no better than any of its Silicon Valley peers, dismissing comments about DHH, and comments about fascism and racism as not strictly related to the main mission.
We were proud to be ambassadors because we believed that Framework not only made products that empowered those who purchase them to fully own and repair their devices, but most importantly because we wrongly expected that this would imply changing the paradigm and the narrative about tech companies altogether.
We were offered the possibility of having a 1:1 conversation with Nirav Patel. We did not take it, because it is self-evident that our opinions are in contrast with the statements that he already made. Too bad, Framework is going to lose much more business than it would have if it simply acknowledged a mistake, took a deep inward look, and questioned its own values and stance.
In a world that is burning, thorn by conflict and greed, it is not enough to be “less evil”, to be radical only in some cases, and be moderate in others. We wanted to be ambassadors of a company that does not see fascism and proprietary software as two distant topics, but that recognised the entanglement of politics and technology, of capitalism and authoritarianism. It seems that this is not the case.
Farewell, Framework. We will miss the shining brave idea we had of you.
Me zrovna tahle situace dost trapi. Je mi lito tech lidi, kteri pracuji na ruznych OSS, ktere DHH uplne random podporoval (cti: ma penize a hodil je jejich smerem).
Cesta z toho neni canclovat tvurce OSS, ale naopak je podporovat vic, aby meli volbu DHH nebo 37signals ze seznamu podporovatelu vyskrtnout. Tedy i podpora Frameworku napriklad tomu kritizovanemu Hyprlandu muze prinest velka pozitiva.
U Hyprlandu jde o jejich maintainera (Vaxry) a celkově toxickou komunitu, ne přímo o DHH. V prvním postu v tom linkovaném fóru je odkaz na writeup a podle všeho je pořád platný, ač už je starší.
U Omarchy jde o DHH - Omarchy má přímo popis "Omarchy — Beautiful, Modern & Opinionated Linux by DHH"
Tj. nejde o to na koho hodil DHH peníze, ale že jde přímo o projekty, za kterými stojí Vaxry nebo DHH.
Těch prvních pár postů ty témata rozebírá dobře, než se z toho stal monstrthread.
I wish Ableton's Drift synth had three oscilators instead of just two. You can kind of fake it to a point by fudging stuff, but, as they say somewhere, "ACK, WRONG!"
