KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign
#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.
Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.
KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.

Anyone who understands the threat of #technofascism should get involved with the #KeepAndroidOpen campaign.
Google state that from September, they will be non-consensually pushing an update to all #Android phones (70% of all phones) that irrevocably blocks you from running whichever software you choose on your phone.
#Apple's iOS is already worse, leaving nowhere to go.
For details, and simple steps to push for Android devices to remain open computing platforms, see:

@stateofresearch
A good approach, but this is a threat that can't be addressed at the level of individual practice, only via this collective campaign.
Because if Google follow through on this, we will suddenly have no way to access any apps that aren't centrally authorised.
It will be the equivalent of Windows preventing you from running .exe files. Only software that Google authorise and approve (under government supervision) will run on our devices.

Day 4: hiking to Bassegoda Peak!
videos.trom.tf/w/t16tfJvfjrHpT…
Here I hiked from the Talaixa Refuge to Bassegoda Peak, which is the first (or last) peak you can hike on the GR11 trail (Spain). I hid my big backpack in the forest near the Sant Aniol River, and camped there after coming down the mountain.

Day 3 hiking in Alta Garrotxa: videos.trom.tf/w/qBqskfFp9XYxs…
I woke up after a very cold night, cooked buckwheat and soy meat, then lost the trail again 😁
Here are some pictures of the Alta Garrotxa and the night sky at the Talaixa refuge.

I feel like one of the best things you can do to make the world a better place is to educate others and spread knowledge, seeing people make videos like this gives me hope 🙂

If you would like to help financially support the development of a new Wayland compositor for Xfce, you can do so by contributing funds via our #OpenCollective accounts.
For US contributions:
opencollective.com/xfce
For EU contributions:
opencollective.com/xfce-eu
These contributions will help pay for the funding of longtime Xfce core developer Brian Tarricone to create xfwl4, a brand-new Wayland compositor for Xfce.
Thank you for your support!

Just sent some € to support the project :)
Xfce is the first DE I ever used when I started to use Linux, as my first distro was XUbuntu at the university back in 2014. I had the pleasure to install it on my laptop a few months ago, after years of using GNOME, and I was glad to be able to use it again! I sure hope this desktop environment continues its life ☺️
Our Friendica is struggling. We get a lot of 502 Bad Gateway (nginx). CPU is at 100% all the time eaten by Friendica. This has happened after the update to the latest Friendica stable. It seems that there are many processes happening in the database.
The post-user table has 64,135,238 rows...I suspect this is an issue. I am not sure if Friendica is reindexing or doing something now after the update...
But needs investigation...sorry for that..
Any tips welcomed!

Hey if anyone is interested we setup instances for Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, Peertube, Nextcloud and more, See - webape.site/
We do so for a cost so we can afford to also make the many trade-free services and projects we have. See tromsite.com/
If you are interested or may want to help, you can also share this. We setup a separate VPS for each instance and provide updates, support, or custom requests as much as we can, for each instance. Plus an email server for each of them.

Taken now:
With a Pixel 6a. You can see Jupiter in the top center, that bright light. You can also spot the Orion belt right lower side. And left lower side that bright light is Sirus. Lastly see if you can spot Betelgeuse :)

You want to see a funny and interesting @PeerTube channel? See videos.trom.tf/c/big_world_sma…
Sasha is hilarious but also very brave. She hikes by herself with a huge backpack through the mountains.
Worth featuring her channel :) wherever :)

in reply to Tio • • •What we need also is economies of generosity.
Art in particular needs to run on appreciation. People need to be able to freely express their appreciation for a thing somebody else made-- while every transaction is adverserial, everybody trying to pay as little as possible to get as much as possible, especially while we're struggling to get our most basic needs met, it doesn't come naturally to toss around donations just to honor things you really like.

in reply to Tio • • •Wait, is he starting out by saying that the xz utils backdoor was the fault of people demanding that software be free and open source?
Ugh, now he's going on about the man in the middle fallacy. I agree with you, but this video is kind of crunk.
Tio
in reply to Cy • •Not at all. Watch till the end they make good points about how open source is far more secure and versatile than proprietary software and they explain how the open source thing started.
Cy
in reply to Cy • • •And then he shows how OpenSSH is linked to XZ via (sighhhh) systemd, without one single remark or criticism of systemd. Yeah I'm done.

in reply to Tio • • •Because it was pushed on the community by brute force and trickery, and lo and behold adding a needless (mandatory) dependency to ssh, a dependency that itself is completely sloppy and depends on everything under the sun, introduces a vulnerability to ssh.

in reply to Cy • •Who forced it on the community?
But also isnt this besides the point of the video? The video is about how people work as volunteers and try to do good things and are not supported by this society and how some bad people can take advantage of that. Also about how wonderful Linux is.

in reply to Tio • • •It was Lennart Pottering's uh... "passion" project. He's the one who demanded we all use his sound server even though it added a layer of complexity and a new point of failure, and sound already worked. You might know it as PulseAudio. That particular fellow realized a critical vulnerability in the "open source" community. None of us compile anything anymore.
So if he could get projects to add "optional" systemd support that could only be removed at compile time, then binary distributions like Debian or Arch had to choose: require systemd, or forbid it. He also has big influence in the Redhat project, so they turned everything to use systemd, and their users couldn't do shit about it. Debian/Ubuntu followed, and Arch was soon after. Because once most people (using Redhat) were using systemd, they went through the trouble of learning how to use it, and came to expect it.
Even if it could be made secure, the way it was introduced makes it really hard to avoid vulnerabilities, because uh... it's mandatory, so you just have to hope it's secure. And it's a big fat kitchen s
