Just tried to run Foliate on the #pinephone, it integrates nicely.

I had never heard from this app before. The catalog feature is very nice.

I'm pretty sure if I would make a poll about what chat protocol I should use for the #hikari community, a lot of people would suggest using #irc instead of #Matrix because of its adoption and perceived protocol simplicity. (After I wrote a Matrix bot from scratch I don't think the latter really holds that true). Yes IRC is simpler but that's because of it's limitation. Human communication is more than just pushing around text, and Matrix is built around that.

❗️Gradio is EOL. The required API servers will be shut down in August, so Gradio will no longer work.

❗️You should migrate to Shortwave NOW. Until the end of July it will be possible to migrate the data from Gradio to Shortwave.

RIP Gradio 🪦😢

Announcing the SourceHut project hub 🎉

https://sourcehut.org/blog/2020-04-30-the-sourcehut-hub-is-live/

I don't usually explicitly ask for shares, but this is a big deal for SourceHut - the project hub solves one of our major goals for the alpha. Please help spread the word ❤️

Bold prediction: The Snap store will be a Flatpak remote by the next Ubuntu LTS.

We have released version 3.1 of Nuspell. This version implements the so-called hidden homonym feature, improves suggestions for various casings and adds a new complex method for providing suggestions based on ngram similarity for an incorrect word based on dictionary words. See the link for more information.

Wow, that was quick: Thanks to Lucas Stach our #etnaviv runtime power managemt fix already landed in linux-next: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?qt=range&q=ea4ed4a55f7363ad8db1863bd536548fb7e5c6aa..78f2bfa3181cd7ee134274aa17177dd933c69dc1

The fix hits the #librem5 with the next kernel update.

I drafted this #FacialRecognition ban for #NewHaven with the help of @eff and we're building momentum to get it passed. After the Fight For The Future action at Yale tomorrow, we will make sure the Elm City joins cities around the U.S. in passing this important #privacy safeguard. 1/2
