This is very welcome news in the face of Trumpist depredations of US public data.
lil.law.harvard.edu/blog/2025/…

"In recent months the Harvard Law School [@harvard_law] Library Innovation Lab [@harvardlil] has created a data vault to download, sign as authentic, and make available copies of public government data that is most valuable to researchers, scholars, civil society and the public at large across every field. To begin, we have collected major portions of the datasets tracked by data.gov, federal #Github repositories, and #PubMed...."

#catima 2.34.4 is out!

This reverts Catima to targetSdk 34 (Android 14) for now, to fix the UI regressions introduced in Catima 2.34.3.

It also includes the fixes in 2.34.3 and a new little feature to sort your cards by the "valid from" date, useful for things like train tickets.

Coming soon to an app store near you!

#Catima 2.34.0 is out!

This release adds support for #Passbook (#pkpass) files, commonly used for event tickets and more!

It also contains some other minor fixes and better handling of image thumbnails (especially transparent ones).

On the end-user side, this release probably doesn't look that different, but it contains some major code refactoring. It is also the first release with #Kotlin code in it.

Microsoft Mgmt Deteriorates GitHub UX - Goodbye Perf and Progressive Enhancement?

Mu-An Chiou writes @muan:

"React got pushed down from Microsoft management and most of us on the [GitHub] front-end team quit."

🆕 blog! “GitHub's Copilot lies about its own documentation. So why would I trust it with my code?”

In the early part of the 20th Century, there was a fad for "Radium". The magical, radioactive substance that glowed in the dark. The market had decided that Radium was The Next Big Thing and tried to shove it into every product. There …

Beware, there is an ongoing spambot attack in #GitHub issues in several projects were random people suggest "the fix" is to download a random file from mediafire.com. Like this:




@markuswerle @jakob @pluralistic This is how I interpret the situation: #GitHub offers open source programs free access to GitHub actions today exactly as it did in the past. This access is limited in CPU performance and parallelism. It always was. All free CI services do this.

The #curl project was bumped to a fancier account to give us more actions powers: more CPU and more parallelism.

That is them doing us a favor and them supporting us, not the other way around.


@jakob it fits the road #GitHub has taken since it was taken over by #Microsoft. The original promise was to be #OSS friendly. Now that they are the goto place for Open Source they change the rules step by step. This also affects paying users. The SaaS price list exploded a couple of months ago. You now even pay extra for git LFS. I guess, this is the enshittification process @pluralistic is talking about.


In just a couple of weeks, Carie Fisher and Jesse Dugas from the GitHub Accessibility team will be sharing the accessibility features of GitHub Copilot that you can use to enhance your own projects.

#Catima 2.27.0 is out!

Honestly a fairly small release, mostly small UI tweaks and a minor bugfix. But that's fine, it's great when software updates are boring without major changes so there is nothing new to learn :)

Available on #GitHub right now, on #IzzyOnDroid within 24 hours and on other stores when they update (see the FAQ on catima.app for details).

Hope y'all enjoy it :)




Another article on #OpenSource, this time written by Richard Pope, who was one of the founding members of the UK’s #GDS. There is just so much for which governments can benefit by engaging with the open source communities that they use. Furthermore, the government contributing their work back to the public #GitHub or #GitLab repositories makes the code more secure and drives down the costs for #DigitalGovernment.
