Who controls the tech stack❓
When choosing a secure solution for your data, this one of the most important questions❗

What is a tech stack and how Tuta makes sure it's secure
Open Source audited technologies and self-built solutions give the Tuta team full control over their tech stack - an important factor when it comes to security.Tutanota

The lead designer at my company finally decided to give @penpot a fair test over the weekend. This morning he sheepishly confessed that he loves it!
We may finally kill the cluttered list of tools that each team has chosen over the years – #AdobeXD, #Figma, #Axure, #Sketch – giving us a shared library of assets and true collaboration.

One of my daily-driven laptops is getting a new #Linux system installed. I'm not sure whether I should stay in my familiar, cosy vanilla @gnome world – including my personal customisations, or whether I should finally seriously consider running the equally interesting #KDE for a longer term.
(No, other desktop environments are not really an option at this point)

Uso #Thunderbird praticamente da sempre, e negli anni ho donato varie volte
Ma negli ultimi anni devo dire il lavoro che è stato fatto per migliorarlo è senza eguali: merita solo premi ed elogi immensi!
(specialmente l'arrivo di TB sul mobile con #K9)
Per questo ho donato di nuovo oggi una somma maggiore
Chiunque usi Thunderbird e ami il #FOSS, consideri la possibilità di donare per il progetto e renderlo sempre migliore oltre che #LIBERO
After more annoyances that Gnome/RedHat is pulling lately ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/issues/288 ), I just donated to #Linux #Mint, instead of my original intention, #Gnome.
The Gnome Project is a wall-garden, but not of the Apple kind. It's a club of mostly #Redhat programmers & a few select others, and either you're in it, or you're not. Your user needs, your bug reports, your patches, all end up on /dev/null. They listen to no one. Never have, never will.
So, my money went to a fork.
Symbolic icons only have the `-symbolic` suffix, breaking compatibility with FDO-compatible apps (#288) · Issues · GNOME / adwaita-icon-theme · GitLab
[Here I use the copy icon as an example, but the issue affects everything] The Adwaita icon theme has an icon-named edit-copy-symbolic for its copy...GitLab
I've been using #LibreOffice for many years. Only when I'm forced I use another office suite, and that did not happen in the last 2.5 years.
I highly recommend LibreOffice!

Christian Hergert just published a massive PDF document named "Builder, A Developers Notebook", where he documents over the technical details of GNOME Builder.
Article: https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2024/04/24/collaborating-on-builder/
#GNOME #GNOMEBuilder #GTK #IDE #Development #OpenSource #FOSS #Flatpak
WTF? Is #Tenacity on the #Flatpak store #MALWARE? Apparently it was running in the bg AS IF it was an invincible #Gnome extension so SystemMonitor/htop would NOT see it as a process. But #MissionCenter (also from flatpak store) saw it as it is: an app running on startup! Killing it killed Gnome session! It was also spiking wifi, and was leaking the Gnome gjs service from 4MB RAM to 120MB. Uninstalling fixed the prob
Third party flatpak/snaps should be vetted.

We now understand why permissive #licensing is bad for #FOSS.
#Redis taught us why #GPL is important and #MIT, #Apache, #BSD etc allow corporations to enclose and steal our contributions.
#Israel's use of #Lavender for targeting in #Gaza, which may also use the code we donated to the commons, shows that we need to be more restrictive if we want to avoid assisting war crimes and probable #genocide.
I hope some lawyers are on this, and will help us add exclusions to protect from such use.
It's pretty unsavory how everybody talks about #MarketPlaces when it comes to platforms for distributing apps. I guess because of #DMA. But it's important to take a step back once in a while and appreciate that like many other #FOSS platforms #FDroid is not a maket place, it's a #commons.
