I have used #Thunderbird for years. I have loved it, but in the last year they have changed a lot.

They are more concerned with money than customers. I made the huge mistake of signing up for Thundermail only to find that it is crap and overpriced.

Now, because I refuse to pay their high prices, I have had my email taken away by them. That is crazy!

As such, I am looking to move completely away from Thunderbird. I need a good, free full-featured open-source #email client that works on Mac and Linux.

Any suggestions?

Here is the alt text converted into a single, clean paragraph: Infographic titled "Meshtastic: New here? Start with hello. No secret handshake - just a simple three-step recipe." A green robot graphic points to three numbered steps. Step 1: Use it: Get hands-on with the hardware, firmware, and client apps so you understand the practical, real-world flow. Step 2: Talk to us on Discord: Hop into the #firmware, #android, #apple, #web, or #python channels before a giant PR. Communication matters as much as code. Step 3: Take small bites: Help with existing issues, add reviews to open PRs, or test features to get familiar with the codebase. Text at the bottom reads: "Honestly? Just pop into Discord and say hello. We're always excited to welcome new faces" with the link meshtastic.org/docs/developers/

An overhead photograph of a silver 2015 MacBook Pro laptop that has had its top screen portion completely removed. Only the keyboard, trackpad, and the bottom casing remain, revealing the hinge mechanism and some internal wiring. It's sitting on a dark grey felt desk mat. Multiple cables are connected to the ports on both sides of the machine, including a white power cable and USB adapters, and a thick black HDMI cable. In the upper right corner, a white and silver Razer brand mouse is partially visible. The background shows more tangled cables and a bit of another electronic device. The image is taken in a practical, slightly cluttered workspace setting.

Codeberg community voted to ban AI-generated code in repositories:

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434

I am a regular Codeberg user, left GitHub in 2019, and co-maintain Libre projects that saw very little if none at all AI in development.

And still I think this decision will backfire badly.

I, like most of Codeberg users, was not even aware that this discussion was in place, did not vote. This only passed because of the anti-AI Luddite crowd. Which, mind you, has a point, I have very conflicting feelings about AI myself, and I think that the current trajectory is quite worrying. But this is just a knee-jerk reaction that has clearly not been thought of well enough.

I applaude the philosophy, or the intent if you want, of not having Codeberg turn into another SlopHub. But this is fairy-tale wishful thinking. There is no way to reliably detect AI-generated code at scale in 2026.
I can already smell the mutual witch hunts across projects and "camps".

Anyway, I hope I'm wrong.

lol - BlueZ has started using LLM for analysing btmon trace if it has been attached.

I'd have even understood if it was a locally trained LLM - but no, as it''s explicitly stated when creating issue, it's a third-party one!

considering BlueZ is pretty much the sole option for Bluetooth stack on Linux, perhaps there might have to be a discussion for alternatives...

#Bluetooth #BlueZ #Linux #FOSS #OpenSource #RaspberryPi #Ubuntu #Debian #Privacy #LLM #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #NoAI

Alt...

Exempt from one of BlueZ raised issues: Privacy Skip anonymization — Send the raw decoded trace to the LLM without scrubbing MAC addresses or device names. I understand this trace will be processed by a third-party LLM API and I have the right to share this data. Versions BlueZ version: 5.85-4ubuntu0.1 Kernel version: 7.0.0-28-generic Problematic device: Ubuntu 26.04 github-actions (bot): btsnoop Analyzer is processing your trace. This typically takes 1-3 minutes. Decoding with btmon, then sending to LLM for analysis...

@tante sorry, the "how will people enforce this" argument is real, dismissing it will not make it disappear.

Mozilla face un pas uriaș pentru protecția datelor utilizatorilor: capabilitățile oferite de celebra extensie Firefox Multi-Account Containers sunt integrate direct în codul nativ al browserului!

✨ Ce înseamnă această schimbare:

🔒 Izolare nativă a sesiunilor:
• Vei putea separa identitățile digitale (Muncă, Personal, Cumpărături, Banking) direct din browser, fără a fi nevoie să mai instalezi extensii terțe.

⚡ Performanță și stabilitate superioare:
• Fiind o funcționalitate nativă, consumul de memorie RAM și resurse CPU este semnificativ redus, iar viteza de încărcare a paginilor este îmbunătățită.

🛡️ Fără tracking de la un tab la altul:
• Cookie-urile și datele de navigare rămân complet izolate în containerul dedicat, împiedicând platformele sociale și rețelele de reclame să îți urmărească activitatea pe alte site-uri.

✨ Integrare mai fină cu interfața:
• Gestionare mai simplă a tab-urilor, reguli automate pentru deschiderea anumitor domenii în containere specifice și o experiență de utilizare mult mai fluidă out-of-the-box.

If there are non-tech people around here who successfully switched their phone I'd be interested to hear your experience.

✅ Die heutige Fediverse-Sprechstunde ist zu Ende.

Ein herzliches Dankeschön an alle, die heute Abend dabei waren und sich mit Fragen, Erfahrungen und Beiträgen am Austausch beteiligt haben. 🌐😊

Ein besonderer Dank geht an Friedhelm ( @catmanfriedhelm ) für seine interessante und praxisnahe Vorstellung zum Thema:

„Fediverse – wie sich alles zusammen nutzen lässt“

Anhand seiner Katzen-Webseite zeigte er eindrucksvoll, wie sich verschiedene Anwendungen des Fediverse sinnvoll miteinander kombinieren lassen. Er nutzt unter anderem Friendica, Mastodon, PeerTube, BookWyrm und PixelFed, um seine Inhalte zu veröffentlichen und unterschiedliche Zielgruppen zu erreichen. Dabei wurde auch deutlich, wie hilfreich die Gruppenfunktion in Friendica für den thematischen Austausch sein kann.

Es war ein gelungener Abend, der einmal mehr gezeigt hat: Das Fediverse lebt von seiner Vielfalt und dem Miteinander. 🌱

📅 Merkt euch gern schon den nächsten Termin vor:

Montag, 31.08.2026 – 19:30 Uhr

Thema:
💡 „Was sind Issues und wie erstelle ich welche?“

Gerade wer Fehler melden, Verbesserungsvorschläge einbringen oder zur Weiterentwicklung freier Software beitragen möchte, erhält hier eine verständliche Einführung.

Wir freuen uns auf euch! 😊

🚀 Holo Core: Valve și Collabora aduc nativ Arch Linux pe arhitectura ARM64!

Pentru a alimenta viitorul dispozitiv Steam Frame (bazat pe un procesor Snapdragon 8), Collabora și Valve au dezvoltat Holo Core — o inițiativă masivă de a porta nativ Arch Linux pe arhitectura AArch64 (ARM64).

🛠️ Provocarea tehnică:
Limbajele precum Rust și bibliotecile de bază au necesitat "reconstruirea istoriei". Echipa a trebuit să creeze o infrastructură automată de Integration Continuă (CI) capabilă să parcurgă tot arborele istoric de dependențe Arch și să recompileze pachetele pas cu pas.

💡 Ce aduce acest proiect ecosistemului Open Source:
• 🏗️ Infrastructură CI nouă: Un sistem capabil să reconstruiască de la zero orice snapshot al distribuției.
• 🎁 Cadou pentru comunitate: Întreaga infrastructură CI va fi donată proiectului Arch Linux pentru a ajuta la oficializarea portului AArch64.
• 🧪 Versiune de test disponibilă: Proiectul include un snapshot din noiembrie 2025, pachete precompilate și o imagine de container Docker pentru developeri.
• 🎮 Baza viitorului SteamOS pe ARM: Deschide drumul pentru jocuri și aplicații pe o nouă generație de hardware portabil și hibrid.

🛡️⏱️ GNOME scurtează termenul de dezvăluire publică a vulnerabilităților de la 90 la 30 de zileProiectul GNOME a adoptat o schimbare majoră în politica sa de securitate cibernetică (Responsible Disclosure Policy), reducând drastic fereastra în care bug-urile de securitate raportate sunt păstrate confidențiale: de la 90 de zile la doar 30 de zile.Această măsură urmărește să accelereze ritmul în care patch-urile de securitate ajung la utilizatorii finali și să oblige menținătorii de pachete să reacționeze cu o mai mare celeritate în fața amenințărilor.Iată detaliile cheie legate de această nouă politică adoptată de GNOME:🔹 De la standardul industriei (90 zile) la un ritm alert (30 zile)Tradițional, corporațiile mari de tehnologie și proiectele open-source majore (precum Google Project Zero) folosesc o fereastră de 90 de zile de la raportarea unei vulnerabilități până la publicarea detaliilor tehnice ale acesteia. Scopul este de a oferi dezvoltatorilor timp suficient să creeze, să testeze și să distribuie un patch fără a expune utilizatorii la atacuri cibernetice.GNOME a decis că 30 de zile sunt mai mult decât suficiente în ecosistemul lor actual, argumentând că:Ecosistemul se mișcă mai rapid: În prezent, pachetele Flatpak și integrările moderne din distribuții permit lansarea patch-urilor într-un timp mult mai scurt decât în urmă cu un deceniu.Prevenirea stagnării: O fereastră lungă de 90 de zile ducea deseori la amânarea rezolvării problemelor critice până în ultimele săptămâni înainte de expirarea termenului-limită.🔹 Ce se întâmplă dacă o vulnerabilitate nu este reparată în 30 de zile?Conform noilor reguli, odată ce un cercetător de securitate raportează confidențial o vulnerabilitate către echipa GNOME, după 30 de zile detaliile tehnice ale bug-ului pot fi făcute publice, indiferent dacă problema a fost complet remediată sau nu.Această practică crește presiunea publică asupra menținătorilor de module pentru a prioritiza rezolvarea breșelor de securitate înainte ca atacatorii să le poată exploata în masă.🔹 Excepții și flexibilitateEchipa de securitate GNOME a menționat că pot exista situații excepționale (de exemplu, vulnerabilități extrem de complexe care afectează mai multe componente ale sistemului de operare sau ale kernel-ului Linux), în care termenul poate fi extins temporar prin acord reciproc, însă regula de bază rămâne de 30 de zile.Prin această strategie agresivă, GNOME transmite un semnal clar comunității și industriei: securitatea desktop-ului Linux este o prioritate critică ce nu suportă amânări.#OpenSource #GNOME #Cybersecurity #InfoSec #LinuxSecurity #Vulnerabilities #TechNews #Linuxiac
