I am still amazed that these super polished "simple" apps exist in the oss world. The likes of Fragments, Decibels and other apps with a completely different approach to the "mission control" UX, here's Ear Tag. A super simple music metadata editor that is a godsend for occasional music producers like myself. Thank you, @knuxify:postmarketos.org. It is a joy to use.

I can’t remember where I saw it, but I feel like today is a good time to revisit the concept of “Vegan + bacon”.
People often avoid making small positive changes because they get caught up in trying to go all the way. For example, “I could never go vegan. I love bacon too much”.
So then go vegan plus bacon. Or vegetarian plus bacon. Or just switch to oat milk and eat more vegetables. Whatever small change you can make is good
Next @benjaminbellamy spricht über das Fediverse und das Zusammenspiel verschiedener Dienste wie z.B. die Integration von @Castopod als Podcast-Plattform mit Mastodon oder Pixelfed.
Auch gut gefallen hat mir die Folie „Du bist keine Zahl“.
Our booth is so well-crowed we cannot find it anymore 😬
Be brave and keep trying to find us at #ULB, AW, Building, Level 1!

We’re grateful for all the positive interactions and discussions we’re having so far, the FOSDEM attendees are as nice as ever 🥳
"In late 2025, Alex started going massively viral on Bilibili, a Chinese video platform, for videos where he described poverty in America. He coined the term “kill line” (“斩杀线”) - an expression borrowed from gaming describing when a game character's health is so low one hit will finish them. In Alex’s framing, the concept describes how a single shock (illness, job loss, accident) can push middle-class Americans into irreversible poverty.
It’s hard to overstate the cultural impact he’s had in China. In barely a few weeks, “kill line” became part of everyday lexicon. So much so that even Qiushi - the core theoretical journal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China - published a (...) analysis using "kill line" as its central framework (qstheory.cn/20260104/0a0919465…).
This never happens. Gaming slang coined by a 22-year-old streamer based in the U.S. does not become the analytical framework for Qiushi, the CPC’s core theoretical journal, in just a handful of weeks. That’s normally not how Communist Party theory gets crafted, to put it mildly 😂. And yet here we are - which goes to show just how powerfully Alex resonated.
It didn’t take long for America to notice - and for Alex’s problems to start.
Due to the staggering resonance his content was having in China, Alex became the target of an extremely vicious doxxing campaign by Chinese dissidents.
He also got targeted by Western media with the New York Times, among others, publishing a piece (nytimes.com/2026/01/13/busines…) identifying him as the origin of the phenomenon which they described - unsurprisingly - as Communist propaganda meant to “deflect criticism of [Chinese] leaders.”
I just wrote an article telling the full story. It ends with Alex escaping to China in an extraction worthy of a Cold War spy novel. Think about how extraordinary this is: a Chinese student fleeing to China for safety, because he feared for his life after being harassed for describing poverty in America."

If you have a tool that takes a build directory as the target for generating a bunch of files, make it automatically generate a gitignore file inside the same target directory. A simple:
echo "*" > ${builddir}/.gitignore
will do, and save a lot of time.
