Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close,
Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back,
Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find,
Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default
keyboard shortcuts.

Hi, I'm trying to add value to a community by creating a curated feed of webpages about a specific topic. For example, if it was Scottish snakes (it isn't) then I would archive every news article I saw on the topic, and host the feed on a webpage or similar.

I've tried Wallabag, and I can't find a way to publish the whole feed - just an individual article.

Any suggestions for other open source tools for this?

House Passes Bill to Impose Sanctions on I.C.C. Officials for Israeli Prosecutions

The action put the measure on track for likely enactment given strong support for it among Republicans, who now control the Senate, and President-elect Donald J. Trump.

There were some posts over the holiday season asking for projects to donate to, and for those who have the means to comfortably do so, this is an important gift to consider.

If there's only a limited amount each of us is able to give, I assume there's no point giving it all to, for one example, The Linux Foundation, because a small personal donation is trivial next to the ~$15,000,000 USD they receive from sponsors dependent on them[1]. I understand that funding sources can be a major and profound source of bias[2] and ideally we would be, for example, helping to make Firefox independent of Google, but until we have more collective power, it's not worth letting smaller important projects struggle instead.

So, which important projects should we leave to the sponsors, and which really need our support?
