The nine months of waiting have paid off. We now have a fully accessible Hacker News client, complete with one flick per post/comment, rotor actions and somewhere down the line, three-finger swipes planned or already implemented. The app also offers the ability to compose posts, comment on threads, search for old stories and browse all of the HN's categories. So far, Octal is the best experience I've had accessing Hacker News.

The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.

I went on to write:

>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.

While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.

I’ve spent a long, long time thinking about ethical software, the challenges we *necessarily* give ourselves compared to closed competitors, and crucially, how to overcome those challenges.

Four and a half years ago, I wrote:

>respecting your privacy is the ethical thing to do; users have a fundamental right to the utmost privacy, even from companies and products they trust.

That’s as true as ever.

Read my colleague @wjt’s post covering the privacy-first system we have built into @EndlessOS, how it fits together, and why it exists.

I hope this can serve as the beginning of the ecosystem coming together to solve this unique challenge in a way that is objectively superior than any proprietary system—all with privacy as the fundamental principle.

With #FreeSoftware you can do something to combat #EWaste!

Production accounts for 75+% of a device's #carbon footprint over its operating life.

Software can determine how long a device remains in use.

Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful #hardware running and out of the bin.

Software freedom means hardware freedom.

#FreeSoftware developer? Looking to measure the #energy consumption of your software in a dedicated lab? Can't make the trip to #Berlin to do so?

Karanjot Singh is working to change that!

This summer remote access to the #KDAB measurement lab will become a reality. Read more at the #KDEEco blog:

Image showing a flow chart for remotely measuring your software's energy consumption. On the left is a drawing of a FOSS developer sitting at a laptop. The text below the images says: "Developer uploading Standard Usage Scenario on the remote portal." The first arrow in the flow chart exits rightward from the laptop and points to the Gitlab logo -- the GitLab Tanuki, which looks like an abstract raccoon dog in red and orange (designed by Ty Wilkins). Above the logo "Gitlab CI" is written. The text "SUS + Application config" is written along the arrow, indicating that the Standard Usage Scenario (SUS) and configuration file for the application being tested are uploaded to Gitlab. A second arrow exits the Gitlab logo and points to an unseen box to the far right of the image. The text "Gitlab jobs running" is written above the arrow, indicating that the energy measurement process has been started. A third arrow in the flow chart appears below the second arrow, but now it points back to the Gitlab logo. "Raw Data sent back" is written along the arrow, indicating that the energy consumption data is being sent back to Gitlab. The fourth and final arrow in the flow chart returns to the developer's computer. The text "Getting Results Back" is written along the arrow, indicating that the developer now has the results of the measurement process. Not shown in the image is the measurement lab setup at the far right of the flow chart. The full image can be seen at the blog post.

The USPTO has issued proposed rules that will make it harder for everyone in #opensource to challenge bad #patents. Let them know you want a fair and open system for all, where anyone can seek a review of an invalid patent.

This is a campaign supported by @eff, @EclipseFdn, @mozilla, Open Invention Networks (OIN), @osi, Unified Patents, and likely more as we progress.

I was wondering if the #libreoffice team had some projects about #AI integration.

MS Office is working hard on this topic.

Je me demandais si l'équipe de #libreoffice avait des projets d'intrégation de l' #ia.
