I think this sums up the last couple weeks in the #opensource world.
Are there general purpose programming IDEs other than VS Code that don't absolutely suck?
PyCharm is okay but kinda bothers me (also I don't like needing to install multiple IDEs for different languages), and it won't use my terminal environment properly for some reason.
A lot of the other IDEs are actually just fancy text editors without language features.
I really am worried about the direction VS Code is headed with like all the AI features and other enshittification. I don't want to wake up one day and see they've ruined something else too. Any recommendations?

GIMP 3.2.6 Released
This stable release contains several months worth of patches, bug fixes, security updates, and more from new and longtime contributors.
Special thanks to Bruno Lopes, who has taken charge of backporting fixes from our development branch to the 3.2 stable branch.
Many bug fixes and improvements - see the announcement page!

I (@grimmy) am going to state this as clearly as possible here in the hopes it'll propagate quickly.
#Pidgin, and the other projects we maintain alongside it, have never and will never knowingly accept AI-assisted anything.
We proudly respect all licenses, #OpenSource and proprietary, and will not taint our license with whatever you think AI-generated code is licensed under.
A more formal document is now in the works in the hopes that our precious volunteer time will be spared.

I spent two days stress testing the engine and the API interface with Dex & Dalvik.
Even though there are already specialized tools out there for Android reversing, these two guys have some unique properties compared to the canonical architectures.
Dalvik is a bytecode based VM and it's designed to run Dex files.
Testing them exposed limitations in REDasm's API design where "Processor" and "Loader" plugins are isolated and cannot share data directly (there are ways to notify data though, eg. interrupts in x86).
The Dex loader is now expressive enough to map symbols, names, functions, etc. where Dalvik expects them.
This capability ultimately led to a much better type system.

It's been fascinating to catch snippets of other #opensource #developers coming together to establish common ground over the last week. We had to work through a number of negative emotions once we got word about parts of our own projects being associated to #fascist shitbirds.
But what I'm enjoying the most is how like minded people are coming together and discussing how to move forward together, with a lot of common goals. People are discussing the effectiveness of current software licensing (#agpl, etc) and whether we need to make new ones, vetting of 3rd party libraries, and above all else, keeping the aforementioned shitbirds out.
And we do need to keep them out. Because they are going to keep outing themselves as the horrible people they are.
So far in the last month, I've watched #tailwindcss, #laravel, and #digitalocean go deep into the abyss with either supporting fascism and/or aggressively shoving AI shit into every thing they do.
Those 3 things I just mentioned are the primary tools I use in the work I have done for over a decade. And with each announcement regarding them, they were dead to me in that same moment.
I'm determined to build out my own replacements for #css and #php framework. Just like the #indieweb, it's all about owning your works with a strong #diy ethos.
It appears the #technofascist reveal party we're going through has allowed for good things to happen. Much to their chagrin...

Security vulnerabilities in ePA clients: “The implementations had blind spots”

I'm not a #neovim user, but it was on my list of editors to test out - due to the praise it's gotten from a lot of people I know and trust, as well as all over the Interwebs.
But I lost interest after seeing how the Neovim maintainer handled this case:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501
I mean, that's just cruel behaviour of the project lead and maintainer.
I'm just disappointed. And I don't even care what anyone else think about that. This just makes Neovim a completely unacceptable project for me to even look at any closer.

Damn, #Codeberg is really taking off! Just noticed a project that has 901 stars. Those are 901 people who went out of their way to give a star to a project they liked, which means there must have been so many more who are using the project but did not give a star. Good to see that Codeberg is being used by so many people, as GitHub is truly unusable these days, with pages that refuse to load and GenAI pushed down your throat everywhere.
Nail-biting suspense! Is #PostgreSQL on a Raspberry Pi faster than a cloud managed instance?! @intrbiz explores at @pgdaylowlands.

One shared Markdown index, many developers and coding agents writing through separate Git branches.
The entries may be completely unrelated - but if they land at the same place, Git can still produce a merge conflict.
I solved this in Keep the Why by giving the index deterministic A-Z / 0-9 write areas from the beginning.
The nice part: this mainly solves the sparse-index problem. As the index grows, its existing entries naturally create more separation.
It also makes the structure easier for coding agents to search.

Good idea: Run your own personal cloud
Most of the software we use every day runs on someone else's computer. Cloud in a Bottle is an open source project that lets you run your own cloud server with one click app installs, just like a smartphone. It works on an old laptop, a cheap rented server, or a managed instance starting at $5 a month. The catalog already includes file storage, a password manager, media streaming, a private search engine, and more. Every app runs in its own security sandbox and all your data stays yours with no lock in. It's early days but the whole thing is open source and actively developed.

Open source tools like FreeCAD are okay for quick sketches, but the transition from traditional CAD is often overrated. The flexibility is there, but the workflow feels clunky compared to what I used for my projects in Kyiv. Most people push it for the price, but for a real architect, the logic of the space matters more than the software license. It is a tool, not a solution for better design.

Migrated my website from Ghost to a custom Laravel build this week.
Same content, full control over everything. Also switched from GitHub to Forgejo + CrowsCI. GitHub was getting expensive with multiple deploys a day for danielpetrica.com and laraplugins. In the age of AI coding, frequent deploys are the norm, not the exception.
Verified SEO status with seo.danielpetrica.com before and after to make sure nothing broke.

As a new #FreeBSD user, I’ve genuinely come to love working in a TTY. There’s something incredibly satisfying about navigating, configuring, and using my OS straight from the terminal! 😍
I posted in an open source community chat, where everyone seems to get an appropriate response, and I got the response too, but it kinda didn’t resolve what I expected to get. It said that everything supposed to work. I explained in next 5-10 messages how to reproduce it, but got nothing in response. Is it that obvious that I should create an issue instead of dumping it in the chat?

RE: https://floss.social/@Luanti/117236624063635761
I must admit that I am not privy to the particulars of this matter. However, Luanti's contributions to the FOSS community would be best served by his continuation in his role. Microsoft has expressed concerns that the Luanti interface bears a striking resemblance to Minecraft. However, it's important to note that Luanti does not resemble Minecraft at all. Instead of being a closed source, Luanti is an open platform that empowers individuals to create their own gaming experiences and modifications.
Imagine if Luanti were a lookalike of Roblox, but it was born as free software and was part of the FOSS community. This would allow users to do anything with it and would not limit the creativity of game developers.
It should be noted that one of Luanti's games, Mineclonia, is a result of cloning/reversing Minecraft. However, its results differ significantly from the original Minecraft. Therefore, in the event of Microsoft withdrawing their DMCA claim, it would be reasonable to conclude that Luanti should be allowed to live.
