Chromium now has initial, experimental support for the xdg-session-management #wayland protocol, which will start shipping in canary channel in the coming days. I've implemented and tested it against Mutter 48, the only compositor supporting it atm - also experimentally - since version 47.

Čas vyzkoušet nové prostředí – #GNOME48 na #ArchLinux 🎉 #i3 zůstává mým hlavním prostředím pro každodenní práci, ale musím říct, že GNOME 48 vypadá skvěle.

😲 DeepSeek-V3-4bit runs at >20 tokens per second and <200W using MLX on an M3 Ultra with 512GB. This might be the best and most user-friendly way to run DeepSeek-V3 on consumer hardware, possibly the most affordable too. You can finally run a GPT-4o level model locally, with possibly even better quality. #LLM #AI #ML #DeepSeek #OpenAI #GPT #OpenWeight #OpenSourceventurebeat.com/ai/deepseek-v3…
DeepSeek's free 685B-parameter AI model runs at 20 tokens/second on Apple's Mac Studio, outperforming Claude Sonnet while using just 200 watts, challenging OpenAI's cloud-dependent business model.
The United Nations Open Source United community and the Open Source Initiative (OSI) today announced that the OSI has become the first organization to officially endorse the UN Open Source Principles.
Yes, "Buy #European" is trending but it also sucks. A lot.
Hear me out: I understand and also feel the urge for tech #independence, particularly from the US, right now.
But just because something is European doesn't make it good or ethical.
@Tutanota People shouldn't trust you because you're "from Europe" or German or whatever. But because you have an #ethical business model, employ good people, care about your users, respect #humanrights and build free and #opensource software.
In-Process is now available, featuring all the info on CSUN ATC 2025, Thorium Reader, how the NVDA 2025.1 Update is going, Open-Source software and a new RH Voice Update! Read it all here: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-2… and don't forget to subscribe via email: eepurl.com/iuVyjo
Dear Fediversians, do you have any recommendations for a RSS reader? Preferably one that works cross platform. Open source is nice. Commercial also okay but then in Europe and privacy friendly please. #rss #opensource #question
Am I right, that none of them is fully #freeSoftware (#openSource), none of them is federated, and none has first class clients on other OSes than Google Android and Apple iOS?
There is an IETF standard for federated instant messenging, implemented by various servers and client applications since 1999. Why don't you promote that?
Open-Source brings so many benefits. NV Access is proud to be part of the community, from welcoming code contributions, to decreasing cost for users around the world. It's easy to see why "Open-Source First" is a popular policy for governments & companies everywhere.
(*At least in Florence, Italy - a quick search found several dates this year - Open Source not only brings innovation, but also choice!)
"Retain users with convenience, honesty, and kindness." This is at the core of what we do at @thunderbird and it drives our features implementation. Sometimes we fail at that, we're aware of it, but we're human and we always try to do better.

Great to be able to make @OpenForumEurope earlier this year. I couldn’t attend all the talks, so it is terrific that the videos are now available online.
Very encouraging to see so many #government leaders working with #OpenSource leaders collaborating together.
OpenForum Europe (OFE) is a not-for-profit, Brussels-based independent think tank which explains the merits of openness in computing to policy makers and communities across Europe.
In our latest office hours, we chat with Design Manager Laurel Terlesky to talk about the cross-platform design system she and her team are building. If you're curious about Open Source design and/or the look and feel of Thunderbird, check it out!

I am happy to say I'll be at #DrupalConAtlanta, March 24-27th. I am really excited to finally see Atlanta, which I have heard so much great news about. Also, so happy to be connecting with others in the #Drupal community. I am looking forward to more conversations about #GovTech, #accessibility & #sustainability.
February may be the shortest month, but the Thunderbird desktop team filled it with updates, improvements, and important conversations. Including:
* What you can find in the new monthly Release channel * Talks on privacy and security * What's landed in the Calendar rebuild work and in EWS support on Daily * The new Account Hub, which you can test this week in Daily! * Global Message Database and In-App Notification news

When I started mapping the first additions in the OsmaAnd app for Openstreetmap at the end of 2015, I never thought I would make 1 million changes. Entered in OsmAnd and then in Potlach2 (because it was beginner-friendly). Then later iD and other apps. Like Mapcomplete, Streetcomplete or Everydoor. 1 I can only recommend just getting started.
