@protonprivacy I'd say keep #TikTok around for a while to break #Meta's monopoly. Uninstall TikTok by all means, but prioritise doing away with #WhatsApp and #Instagram first to keep the balance.
First blog post about the work I've done so far on the #moxxy UI! I'd like to do one every month if possible, like Thunderbird does with K-9 Mail. Please feel free to send me feedback! #xmpp
@mozilla I wanted to sign one of your campaigns but it wasn't very clear what happens to the email address of mine that you collect ✉️
I opened the link from "I'm okay with Mozilla handling my info as explained in this Privacy Notice", but couldn't find anything specifically relating to emails and petitions:
Just set up a publisher for my #haunt blog and it's so convenient! One line to have everything up, and thanks to .ssh/config there's no need to set up secret environment variables and stuff.
Can we all fund the original maintainer of xz, if we're able to afford it, because even if they're not able to work on it as well as they'll like, I think they more than deserve it
@danmcd good lord. What is that final file doing though? I can see a lot of greps and tests followed by a scary-looking xz command, a bunch of suspicious sed's, and some file copies and removals 👀
Is there a way to make #GNOME automatically change the theme, both for ordinary and "legacy" apps, along with the #DarkMode toggle?
My theme has two variants for dark and light, but I have to manually go and change it in GNOME Tweaks every time I want to switch, making the Shell's "dark mode" toggle somewhat redundant
@ymstnt magic! I didn't want to switch on a schedule, just manually depending on my mood (or rather whether I'm indoors or outdoors). But somehow installing this extension also made GNOME's ordinary dark mode setting toggle themes the way I wanted it to! 🎩
When I remove the extension the theme switch doesn't work any more, so it is actually doing something, not just activating a hidden setting 🔧
Canonical struggles to get to grips with malicious Snaps, a KDE theme wipes a whole machine, Mozilla looks foolish, Redis isn’t open source now, Ubuntu 14.04 gets 12 years of paid support, Meta joins the Fediverse, and more. With guest host Gary from Linux After Dark.
working on a dark theme for tangara. i added a gradient for a test and, that's it. that's the theme. i wish my camera could do it justice but it looks so slick irl.
So, I’ve had two good pieces of news for the ActivityPub book from O’Reilly Media. The first one is that I finished the 6th of 7 chapters this week (on using and creating ActivityPub extensions). It was a gruelling chapter that I had to reorganise a couple of times to clarify, but I’m so happy that it’s in the can.
The second big piece of news is that the first two chapters of the ActivityPub book are up for early access review on O’Reilly Media’s Learning Platform. This is a big deal for me — people have started reading and interacting with the book in the real world. Mind blown!
If you are interested in ActivityPub, and you have access to the O’Reilly Media Learning Platform, I would take it as a big favour if you would read what’s available now (Introduction, ActivityPub API) and give me your feedback.
Two more chapters should be available soon — Activity Stream 2.0, and the federation protocol — I’ll post here when I’ve got more news.
Thanks to everyone who’s been helpful or supportive in this process. I’m looking forward to the full availability of this book in the coming months.
@thisismissem I prefer and am happy to pay for the print books, but unfortunately that would mean waiting till the book is complete. I wonder if O'Reilly (or anyone else) has a scheme where I can preorder just this specific print book, and get access to the online version until that comes?
(O'Reilly does have an option to register the book you got from another publisher to get access to it online on their platform, but I'm not sure if there's an equivalent for upcoming books)
