I've been looking into GrapheneOS as an alternative, a bit worried about banking app support tho - may need to carry a second phone in that case. In the long term I'd like to see Linux on mobiles succeed, PostmarketOS may not be very practical now but I think the work they're doing is still important.

I'd *absolutely love* to make one, properly, in a voiceover!

The issue is - time and energy. It took me almost a year to make the original Russian one.

I also wanted the video sequence to go with that, in the style of Ahoy, who was my primary inspiration for the project, but I can't use Blender for shit, and there was almost no other FOSS motion design software (and I use FOSS almost exclusively).

#PawFed is a project close to my heart. It's a collaborative map for animal welfare that bridges the #Fediverse and #OpenStreetMap.

The idea: mention @PawFed from your Mastodon account with hashtags and a location, and your report appears on the map. No signup, no app, just your existing Fediverse account.
It's not perfect yet, but the foundation is there. I will publish the source code soon under AGPL.

Am I correct in my understanding that this requires one to reveal their IRL location in a public toot?

I am sorry, but I am not comfortable with that, unfortunately. I can, and will, however consider setting up another account just for this purpose. Especially since I'm using a certain fediverse app that just happens to handle multiple accounts very nicely ;)

I feel that at best, it is an attempt to solve a "people problem" with a software fix. I have worked in IT support long enough to know that that never works. It only compounds the problem by creating even more new ones (while not actually solving the original problem).

The illusion of security will be quickly shattered as soon as scammers figure out how to work around it anyway.

Opposition to Israel has NEVER made me feel like I was in danger as a Jew.

But goddamn I feel more in danger because an apartheid state on the other side of the world is committing genocide and war and saying they’re doing it in my name.

I hate that wearing something that may identify me as Jewish may indicate support for a country I want nothing to do with.

Netanyahu and his genocidal thugs lie to try to use every Jewish person in the world as a human shield for the actions of Israel

Deliberately framing criticism of Israeli actions as an attack on "the Jewish community" is something politicians in the UK do constantly

Its infuriating that its been done deliberately and cynically by so many politicians and much of the media , and
I'm really sorry that you are in this position

**Why do we need to install an app to get push notifications?**

We are used to get pre-installed solutions on Google-certified devices for many services such as the browser (Chrome), the map (Google Map), keyboard (Google keyboard), camera (Google Camera), push notifications (Play Services), etc.

Our free solutions aren't pre-installed on our devices: if we want a free map, we need to install it. It works the same for the push notification service.

It’s bonkers how efficient the @postmarketOS gang is with money.

40K is ridiculously low for everything they’re achieving. And they’re very transparent about how they use it.

If you can afford to donate, pmOS is an excellent investment for our collective future.

New finance blog post is up, nerding out over the 2025 budget (plan vs. execution), and the budget for 2026.

The most exciting part is probably the q6voice rework and mainlining which will improve audio significantly for postmarketOS and other Linux Mobile distributions on a large number of QC devices.

A huge thanks to everybody who is supporting postmarketOS financially to make this possible! 😍

“The researchers suspect that Glassworm—the name they assigned to the attack group—is using LLMs to generate these convincingly legitimate-appearing packages. “At the scale we’re now seeing, manual crafting of 151+ bespoke code changes across different codebases simply isn’t feasible,” they explained. Fellow security firm Koi, which has also been tracking the same group, said it, too, suspects the group is using AI.”

"The code points represent every letter of the US alphabet when fed to computers, but their output is completely invisible to humans. People reviewing code or using static analysis tools see only whitespace or blank lines. To a #JavaScript interpreter, the code points translate into executable code."

Sigh.

What I don’t get is how this snippet passed code review regardless.

I mean, it’s clearly dodgy and the last line basically meaningless without the code being evaluated.

The real story here isn’t the invisible Unicode characters, it’s the lack of proper code review on code submissions.

I agree, I had the same thought, first of all an eval function is super suspicious; "eval is evil", on the other hand what the earth is the const s doing there. And in the name of love what is the reviewer thinking about when someone does a PR with this kind of "functionality". I will check but I think that a simple SAST is going to complain about this PR.
On a second thought maybe the snippet provided by the security researchers is just a non realistic example to illustrate the concept.
