Ever wondered “What laws apply to #FDroid ?" We had to...

Just 12 minutes of your time: https://f-droid.org/2025/08/20/legat-two.html

(And yes, that typo in the URL will stay there forever )

I saw many #FOSS developers discriminate against non-Linux users, by providing Linux only build (install) instructions & testing.
Please don't be such person.

As you might be aware some of our services (AUR, Forums, main
website) are currently affected by a DDoS attack. We are aware of
the issue and are actively working on mitigation efforts. We are working
with our data center operator and various network security providers,
and we are aware of the community offers to help.

We appreciate your patience and will provide periodic updates while keeping technical
detail internal for security reasons.

For the first time ever, I will be setting up a KDE booth in Japan at OSC ― Open Source Conference 2025 Tokyo/Fall!

I will be at Asakusa's Taitō-kan(東京都立産業貿易センター台東館), on 2025/10/25 (Sat.) from 10:00 〜 16:00 for the OSC event!

If you are near Tokyo, or have some interest in Linux or Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) in general, please feel free to say hi to me at the conference!

I will be the one promoting the awesomeness of KDE to all the people at the event! There's no entrance fee so please feel free to take a peek around if you end up in Asakusa!

Decentralization isn’t just a trendy buzzword. When platforms enclose the web—locking culture, knowledge, and communities into corporate silos—they decide what survives, what gets erased, and who has access. A decentralized web is survival against erasure.

I've been loving Element Matrix video chat for a few months now. I regularly have video chats with my family, including 4 or 5 video connections from various remote locations for 3 or 4 hours each. Also, it's proved pretty easy to start video chatting with people that I meet on Mastodon in a privacy preserving way.

A new site, "Is It Really FOSS?", tackles open source claims with clarity! It categorizes big projects like Proton Mail, Signal & Bitwarden, exposing hidden licensing risks and marketing hype.

#tfw you discover a bug in @thunderbird beta which is impacting you on the regular, and you go to file a bug report about it, and you put a substantial amount of time into testing the bug in various contexts to ensure you are providing useful information for the developers, and then the last thing you do is attempt to bisect the bug with #mozregression, and you discover that it's been fixed in the current nightly build but the fix hasn't been uplifted to beta yet. *sigh*

#PaperlessNgx has been released in v2.18.0. This release brings a feature I've been waiting on for a long time: A "full" PDF editor, meaning, you can sort, rotate, delete and split individual pages of a PDF. This is a very nice change, since sorting/rearranging required you to download and edit the PDF locally until now. #FOSS #DMS
