You can use long-presses on your regular keyboard to access alternative glyphs—just like on your phone, e.g. press and hold down [$] and a popup appears that let's you choose between €, £, ¥, ¢, ₹. Also new is that you can download and install alternative sound themes and that we reduced CPU and GPU load for full-screen windows on screens using more fractional scale factors, and much more!

Meta is discontinuing end-to-end encryption for Instagram messaging this May.

This highlights the core issue with proprietary platforms: privacy is treated as a revocable privilege, not a fundamental right. When a company owns the infrastructure, they own the "off" switch for your security.

Open-source alternatives like Matrix or Signal offer consistent, verifiable encryption that doesn't depend on a corporate roadmap.

A new pull request for Vulnerability-Lookup adds a CSAF producer that publishes advisories for many manufacturers.

This is great for defenders and researchers, as it increases the amount of detailed vulnerability information available.

It will push the number of ingested feeds to more than 50 unique sources, highlighting the growing diversity of our data sources.

If someone tells you there is a single source of truth for vulnerability information, they’re ignoring the reality: vulnerability intelligence comes from many different sources.

Thanks to @rafi0t for the continuous work on adding CSAF and feeds to vulnerability-lookup

Escrevi meu primeiro plugin para o niri + DankMaterialShell — e documentei o caminho até funcionar 🐧

A ideia era simples: exibir a versão do kernel e o uptime do sistema direto na barra, sem abrir terminal. Resultado: `6.19.6-arch1-1 ⏱ 7h 54m`.

O que parecia meia hora virou um aprendizado sobre:
→ QML e a API de plugins do Quickshell
→ Qual sinal usar (`onStreamFinished`, não `onStreamEnded`)
→ Cache agressivo do DMS que ignora alterações em arquivo
→ `/proc/uptime` + awk como alternativa mais confiável ao `uptime -p`

O atalho mais útil do processo: usar o próprio código-fonte do DMS como documentação. `grep -r` em `/usr/share/quickshell/dms/` resolve mais rápido do que qualquer busca externa.

⭐ Announcing a Major Architectural Update to RIFT ⭐

RIFT has undergone a complete rearchitecture to enhance its modularity, extensibility, and usability. An experimental build has been released on our GitHub repository, while the stable build remains available. The experimental build will continue to receive updates and improvements over time.

❓ What is RIFT?

RIFT is a valuable tool for reverse engineers, designed to generate on-demand FLIRT signatures for Rust binaries.

❗ What's new?

⚙️ Three Operation Modes:
- File Analysis Mode: Point RIFT directly at a binary.
- Direct Generation Mode: Target specific crate versions and compiler combinations.
- HTTP API Server Mode: Run RIFT as a service with an async job queue.

🔧 Modernized Ida Pro Plugin: The Ida Plugin has been rebuilt with server integration, enabling FLIRT signature generation while reversing without needing to leave the window.

For more details, visit: https://github.com/microsoft/RIFT

ntfy

Today I read the brief synopsis of ntfy Android. I saw there that via linux the control and operation is fairly simple & straightforward

I went to the site and started reading.

ntfy via linux is easy to use

• simple HTTP PUT/POST commands are used

sh

curl -d "Backup successful 😀" ntfy.sh/mytopic

a.out

ntfy publish mytopic

"Backup successful 😀"

HTML

POST /mytopic HTTP/1.1
Host: ntfy.sh

Backup successful 😀

javascript

fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', {
    method: 'POST', // PUT works too
    body: 'Backup successful 😀'
})

golang

http.Post("https://ntfy.sh/mytopic", "text/plain",
   strings.NewReader("Backup successful 😀"))

python

requests.post("https://ntfy.sh/mytopic",
    data="Backup successful 😀".encode(encoding='utf-8'))

php

file_get_contents('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', false, stream_context_create([
    'http' => [
        'method' => 'POST', // PUT also works
        'header' => 'Content-Type: text/plain',
        'content' => 'Backup successful 😀'
    ]
]));

RE: https://chaos.social/@davidak/116205913072553471

After some research today it becomes clear that you can't have a linux system without running LLM generated code, since the linux kernel itself and also systemd has it.

Maybe not running LLM generated code becomes a niche thing like running linux-libre and libreboot. It is not something the average user can achieve.

We need a more specific approach to handle software with LLM contributions.

How does a volunteer-run Linux distro comply with a $7,500 per-user fine? They can't. These "Age Assurance" bills are a death sentence for privacy-focused, open-source operating systems. Keep the OS neutral. 🐧✊ #OpenSource #Linux #DigitalRights

@GrapheneOS @attilax @LearnToLivePrivate @RustRaven @jmoupah @Yrrussaj @sebsauvage @jolla Hey Graphene OS folks.

First, it's really great that you guys have created a security focused deGoogled Android operating system.

Given the problems of American big tech, I applaud you for creating an alternative.

So full credit where credit is due.

That being said, constantly badmouthing every other non-Apple and non-Google smartphone maker and operating system is not a good look.

And jumping into any thread on Mastodon where there's a mention of another alternative smartphone maker or OS to badmouth them is not a good look.

You say Jolla is no good. SailfishOS is no good. Fairphone is no good. Murena is no good. CalyxOS is no good. Dumbphones are no good.

I'd imagine you'd probably win more people over if you talked more about why people should choose Graphene instead why they shouldn't choose one of the others.

Because right now, there are tradeoffs with every mobile OS.

That includes Graphene.

For example, there are people for whom limiting their exposure to Google and Apple is more important than choosing the most locked down option available.

For such people, needing to buy a Google Pixel phone to run Graphene is a massive negative.

That's even if the Google Pixel is the best hardware from a security perspective.

And in that case, yeah there are other options that may be a better fit for those people.

There's another issue.

There seems to be many Reddit threads and YouTube videos and blogs out there from people who were enthusiastic about Graphene, but have soured on it.

And the funny thing is there's a pattern to it. "Cult-like" and "toxic" seems to be phrases that tend to be used a lot.

I've also noticed a recurring pattern you put for why the other alternatives are bad is because people connected with those businesses or companies badmouth Graphene.

It seems to me like Graphene constantly bags those other projects. When anyone connected with those projects responds, that response is presented by you guys as evidence of bullying and harassment, without that context.

And the recurring line about how people should just stick with iOS or Google Android if they don't choose Graphene? Just shameful. And completely misses the point of why some people are looking for alternative platforms in the first place.

And the more people who choose an alternative OS, the more normal it becomes to do it, which ultimately leads to more people looking at alternatives like Graphene.

I still have lot of unanswered questions about how I'd like to publish my game.

Make it #OpenSource is something I've already decided.

But I'm concerned someone could take the game to sell it on Steam. This is something I might do myself at some point (yet another unanswered question), but I clearly don't want someone who didn't work on it to get money from players (who could get the game for free instead but woudn't know or would be tricked into thinking they support devs)

Es gibt ein scheinbar auf #SuperTuxKart basierendes (schaut euch alleine die Menüs an) #OpenSource Projekt, welches an einem #Spiel arbeitet, dass konzeptionell den alten #DestructionDerby Titeln ähneln soll.

Ziel im #Multiplayer ist es Gegenspieler kaputt zu rammen ohne selbst zu viel Schaden zu nehmen. Wer zuletzt noch übrig ist, hat gewonnen.

Aktuell und relativ frisch ist Version 0.8.0-Alpha. #Linux und #Windows werden unterstützt. Es gibt #Appimage

Viel Spaß beim Testen!

#Y2K38 is the new #Y2K and #openSUSE developers are already finding real failures by advancing build clocks to 2038. #32-bit time assumptions are everywhere. 12 years to fix it. #Linux #OpenSource https://news.opensuse.org/2026/01/20/os-community-tackling-y2k38-epoch/

A lot of #opensource projects out there already have statements about whether they accept #ai generated code or what their policy is...

Is there some template / generator for that already?

(and don't @ me with "let AI generate one...)

Sadly, popular Linux gaming utility Lutris is now AI slop and in response to people expressing their concern, the lead maintainer decided to remove all the attributions for the AI submitted changes so no one can fork it before the changes were made. Oh, also it probably renders the license complete garbage as well too.

At least we now know why it's become notably worse over the last few months and it saves me from writing up some Github issues.

Maintaining open source projects is mostly a thankless task, but very occasionally a very kind soul drops their appreciation and thanks, and it really does make your day 🥰

▶️ Take a moment sometimes to thank the maintainers of open source projects you value!
