For those encountering random video playback application crash heisenbugs on the open source #AMDgpu #Mesa drivers on #Linux (thankfully, with #Wayland this no longer crashes the entire system), with the suspicious "CS has been rejected" error, here is the bug I reported upstream: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me…
The theory is that the DRM's implementation of AMD's Unified Video Decoder does not properly keep track of #Flatpak process IDs. A patch is underway.

AMD Radeon R9 270 randomly causes video playback applications to crash with "amdgpu: The CS has been rejected" (#12575) · Issues · Mesa / mesa · GitLab
Brief summary of the problem: This has been an unpredictable, somewhat random occurrence for me on Fedora 40 and Fedora 41....GitLab
many congratulations for this richly deserved award, and I’m looking forward to seeing your contributions to the EOSA. I stand ready to support the #OpenSource mission!
As an aside, I found the curl stickers in building K on the side of one of the Linux distribution tables, but you were nowhere to be found this year! Sad to miss the annual opportunity to say “thank you for curl” in person.
@RaccoonForFriendica I'm seeing a lot of new users from Google Play's statistics, even if the app is not yet in the production channel. Welcome everyone, I hope you'll enjoy #friendica and #raccoonforfriendica!
Thanks to all the translators who continued to work on the app UI and store description, your dedication is really appreciated. @Fitik @Cătă @TamilNeram @Ricky-Tigg
To old users, I've added two new big features: swipe navigation which allows you to navigate between posts from the conversation detail and the "shortcuts" section, where you can explore other instances and see their local timeline "as if" your were registered there. Plus, as usual, small fixes and enhancements listening to your continuous feedback.
Have a nice weekend and #livefasteattrash

Now that we're all excited about our iOS job opening, it's a great time to post the Office Hours with our Mobile Team from earlier this month. It's naturally pretty Android heavy, but we do discuss the new role and our plans for iOS!

Really? You had no problems with having debconf hosted in the Zionist state. You even refer to that illegal entity by the name "Israel". Does the Debian project have the same values as the Zionist state?
I understand a free software project not wanting to be on a proprietary platform, but this is ridiculous.

It's a day to celebrate excellence in the field of #opensource and reflect on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
🏆The European Open Source #Achievement Awardee is one of the champions for #strengthening open source Europe, and with appropriate leadership, funding efforts, and skill development, #Europe can expand its digital #competitiveness.
👇Read the nominee's hopes for the open source community below :
Google has released the source code for PebbleOS, the operating system behind the now dead Pebble smartwatch.
This will bring more life to older Pebble watches and perhaps new watches powered by it in the future. Credit where credit is due I guess.

@RaccoonForFriendica We finally did it: we got access to the production channel on Google Play! A big and heartfelt "thank you" to all those who participated in the closed test program, without you this would have been impossible! 🦝❤️
The latest beta has been promoted to the "open testing" track, so that now everyone can become a tester and install the latest beta, which is a preview of the next stable release.
I'll wait until I improve notification support, so probably there is another month or so to wait. Keep an eye on the issue tracker to know what I'm working on, just in case 😉
To try the app, you can become a tester using this invitation link.
Your feedback is important, and now you'll have Google Play's reviews as an additional way to express your opinion. Let me know what you think and always #livefasteattrash

1. Open a Linux terminal.
2. Type the following command:
watch -d -n 1 sensors
3. This command displays CPU, GPU, Wi-Fi, NVMe SSD, and HDD temperature data in real time. The -d option highlights the differences between updates, and the -n 1 option sets the interval to 1 second, running the sensors command every second. See cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-… for more info.
