Which, whoa, was merged before I even completed typing this post thanks to Herby Gillot!
My apologies for the delay in submitting the PR. I did see a new version was released yesterday while I was doing laundry; yet I was super tired after the Pixel Grip show on Wednesday (I barely caught the last BART to the East Bay Thursday morning, worked earlier on Thursday and had to be awake before dawn for two shifts today so I was in bed early and woke up early and am just now getting around to this.)

Typecase 1.1 ist da: das erste Feature-Update meiner Markdown-Schreib-App für Linux. ✍️
Neu: eine Kartenansicht zum Plotten. Jedes Kapitel wird zur Karteikarte mit Notizen, Status und Schlagwörtern. Schreib Ideen direkt auf die Karten und zieh sie in eine neue Reihenfolge – die Blätter folgen.
Und neue Blätter übernehmen ihre erste Überschrift als Dateinamen.
Weiterhin nur .md-Dateien, kein Konto, kein Netz.
Für OpenCloud gibt es keinen offiziellen Linux-Client für ARM64.
Skandal?
Nein. Überhaupt nicht. Vernünftig.
Der Markt ist klein, Ressourcen sind endlich, und kein Unternehmen sollte einen Build-Zweig dauerhaft pflegen müssen, nur weil irgendwo ein einzelner Irrer mit einem Snapdragon-ThinkPad sitzt und ihn gern hätte.
Dummerweise war ich genau dieser Irre. 😉
Also habe ich mir den ARM64-Client selbst gebaut.
Und genau da wird aus einer technischen Randnotiz plötzlich eine ziemlich politische Geschichte.
Bei proprietärer Software heißt ein „Nein“ des Herstellers meistens:
Nein. Punkt.
Geht nicht.
Machen wir nicht.
Rechnet sich nicht.
Vielleicht irgendwann.
Aber eher nie.
Du darfst warten, bitten oder die Plattform wechseln.
Bei Open Source heißt dasselbe Nein:
„Heute nicht wir. Aber du darfst.“
Das ist für mich gelebte digitale Souveränität.
Nicht irgendein Strategiepapier.
Nicht „europäische Cloud“ auf einer PowerPoint-Folie.
Nicht ein neues Logo auf alter Abhängigkeit.
Sondern die ganz banale Fähigkeit, eine Lücke selbst zu schließen, wenn der Hersteller sie aus guten Gründen offenlässt.
Mein Lenovo ThinkPad T14s mit Snapdragon X Elite war eigentlich schon abgeschrieben.
USB-C-Display? Tot.
Firmware? Launisch.
Kernel-Updates? Überraschungsei.
HDMI? Je nach Kernel zwischen „läuft“ und „bitte nicht anfassen“.
Suspend? Gerne, wenn man morgens keinen Akku mehr braucht.
Als Linux-Arbeitsgerät bleibt die Kiste für mich 2026 eine Red Flag.
Und weil ich offenbar lernresistent bin, habe ich anschließend auch noch Ubuntu 26.10 „Stonking Stingray“ installiert – direkt an der Front.
Prompt war Bluetooth weg.
Natürlich.
Der vorherige Kernel bootete weiter, Bluetooth war wieder da, und ich konnte über meine eigene Hybris lachen.
Die Hardware bleibt eine Warnung.
Aber ausgerechnet dieses Warn-Gerät ist jetzt mein ARM-Build-Host für OpenCloud. WIe schön das doch ist.
Er heißt Ariel.
Und Ariel bleibt.

It’s crazy to think KDE and GNOME have been around for almost 30 years, but it’s only in the last 2-3 years that I’ve seen window managers and shells popping up that actually match, or even beat, them in performance and overall experience.

Open Source Software im Unternehmen
Worauf es beim Einsatz ankommt
Open Source Software gilt als wichtiger Baustein für mehr digitale Souveränität. Ein Ratgeber von heise online zeigt jedoch, dass auch offene Programme Pflege, internes Wissen und klare Regeln brauchen. Wer sie im Unternehmen einsetzt, gewinnt Handlungsspielraum, muss den Betrieb aber sorgfältig planen.

Island Domain Extensions and Their Stories. A Domain Guide, Part 1
This article steps outside the site’s usual focus. Instead of practical advice, it offers a look at the history and quirks of internet domain extensions.
📢 **IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: System Requirements for Fedora 45 (Project "Red Hat Synergy")**
The Fedora Project, in collaboration with IBM, is proud to present the roadmap for **Fedora 45**. As part of our ongoing effort to harmonize enterprise ecosystems and implement strict corporate security standards, we are transitioning away from "legacy open-source chaos" in favor of a predictable, unified infrastructure.
Starting with Fedora 45, minimum hardware requirements for the Desktop Workstation edition will be officially elevated. These measures ensure maximum synergy with Red Hat cloud services and prevent the execution of Fedora on non-certified hardware.
---
### 🛠 **New System Requirements for Fedora 45:**
* **Processor:** 64-bit CPU (minimum 2.5 GHz, at least 4 cores).
* *Note:* Supported CPU models are now strictly whitelisted within the kernel. Intel CPUs older than 8th Gen (Coffee Lake) and AMD CPUs older than Ryzen 2000 are officially designated as legacy hardware. Booting Fedora 45 on unsupported CPUs will be blocked at the bootloader level with a `systemd-bsod` screen.
* **Security Module (TPM):** Hardware **TPM 2.0** with support for IBM Secure Enclave is mandatory. Without an active TPM 2.0, `initramfs` will halt immediately.
* **Secure Boot:** **Secure Boot** must be permanently enabled in the UEFI settings. Booting with custom/user keys or with Secure Boot disabled will force the system into a permanent Emergency Mode loop.
* **Memory (RAM):** Minimum **16 GB** (128 GB recommended). Due to deep GNOME Shell integration with IBM Watson AI engines and background telemetry daemons, 8 GB is no longer supported.
* **Storage:** High-speed NVMe SSD (with NVMe-oF support) with at least 512 GB of free space. Mechanical Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are fully deprecated as their spindle speeds do not align with modern desktop performance expectations.
* **User Account:** An active **Red Hat Unified ID (RHSID)** corporate account with an attached telemetry subscription. Creating local-only offline accounts without telemetry reporting is no longer available in the installer.
* **Network Connectivity:** A continuous, high-speed Internet connection is required. Offline installations have been completely removed from the Anaconda installer — RPM packages are now fetched on-the-fly from enterprise edge repos, and local mirrors are flagged as untrusted.
---
### 💳 **New Licensing & Subscription Tiers:**
* **Freemium Journaling Limitations:** Access to system logs via `journalctl` is now restricted under the free tier. Free users can only view the last **20 log lines** per boot. Reading beyond 20 lines or retrieving logs older than 24 hours requires an active **Red Hat LogPass Subscription** ($4.99/mo).
* **System Updates Tier:** System updates, including critical security patches, zero-day kernel fixes, and DNF updates, are exclusively locked behind the paid tier. Unsubscribed installations will receive updates on a delayed "LTS Community Cycle" (6–12 months after release).
* **Fedora Total Support Tier ($199.99 / seat):** For the exact official retail price of a **Windows 11 Pro** license ($199.99), users can unlock the **Fedora Pro Complete tier**. This includes 24/7 OS stability guarantees, unlimited `journalctl` access, automated system recovery via cloud snapshots, and remote desktop troubleshooting by IBM technical support agents.
---
### 🔒 **Security Policy Enforcement:**
* **SELinux** is permanently locked to `Enforcing-Absolute`. Executing any binary not digitally signed by Red Hat will be flagged as an unauthorized security breach with real-time reports sent to compliance monitoring.
* **DNF5** has been replaced by *Red Hat Cloud Sync*, which automatically detects unapproved third-party software and replaces it with flatpak containers from the official curated registry.
> *"We are confident that our community will appreciate these steps toward an enterprise-grade cloud experience, where security and corporate compliance come first."*
> — *Desktop Linux Standardization Committee*

You have to understand that discovering that #Linux and every bit of critical #opensource software (#Firefox, #libreoffice) have been slopped is like after finally ditching cars for public transport you discover that it’s been bought out by by a combination of private equity, EA, Nēstle, Monsanto, CocaCola, _and_ Lockheed Martin, whereupon they fired every qualified driver and replaced them with an Uber-like gig economy where your train driver today is Gareth who once played some weird Japanese train game on a PS2 emulator one time but has an “Outstanding” 97.6% rating.
I just wanted to get somewhere and get stuff done. This isn’t my fight, this isn’t my day job. I already did my part by ditching Windows and now you want me to sort out your problem you so utterly failed to prevent when you breathlessly announced the partnership as “Strengthening the Community”.
Fuck you and the rent economy you rode in on, I’m not your goddamned saviour and I certainly don’t contribute to fashtech, which you now are.

@penguinrebellion Signal is not good.
They seem to absolutely love/adore Google, Apple, and Amazon. So much that they even hide the APK page on their website and only promote Google Play Store or App Store. Try find it on their website without using a search engine. Spoiler: you will fail.
And when you finally find the download APK page, Signal states it is "safer and easier" to get Signal on Google Play Store or the App Store. Easier? Yes. But safer? Only in your dreams.
They love/adore Google and Apple so much that creating an account without a phone number requires you to give your full legal name, home address, phone number, and credit card information to either Google or Apple (depending on what device you use).
And Signal love privacy and values yours, too. Oh, the irony.
So no, I would not recommend Signal other than Signal Protocol. Good news: OMEMO (the encryption method in XMPP) uses Signal Protocol. So with that said, I recommend XMPP instead of the Big Tech loving Signal.

Four researchers built a tool to test the citations in a large number of scholarly articles. In this study, they used it to show how many fabricated citations they found in a random sample of 500,000 peer-reviewed articles.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2623869123
I'm interested in the frequency of fake citations. But right now I'm more interested in the fact that the tool is not #OpenSource. One good reason is that it depends in part on #Claude. But the authors did not share their Claude prompts or any of the non-Claude code they wrote to supplement Claude.
They do make three gestures toward openness here though. (1) They wrote analysis code to help crunch their data, and they're willing to share that analysis code on request. (2) They offer to share the tool code with reviewers and editors on request, presumably to aid in the peer-review of their article. But they don't make the same offer to researchers who want to test the tool or use it for new studies. (3) In Appendix 01 they give pseudocode for the citation-testing tool, but not the actual code.
Motivated researchers could use the pseudocode to create their own tool. But it would likely differ in details from the tool used here, blocking attempts at precise replication.
More important, the lack of open code for testing citations prevents the critique and improvement of that code, and slows the evolution of standardized methods for testing citations.

*sigh*
Do really all those who generate security reports really expect the recipients to really read that wall of text they ship? Text they most likely didn't even care to read themselves?
What kind of stupidity are we racing towards? It's just so tempting to just flat-out reject LLM generated wall-of-text-reports these days.
Below is some really*valuable inforrmation* received in one such report ...
This report didn't kill just a kitten. It killed a village of kittens.
Security reports these days is a farse and pure tragedy. It just drains the last pieces of energy to care about processing security reports.

This wont work well for @fdroidorg, as it requires App Archiving support which #FDroid doesn't have. Additionally it would require newer target SDK versions, which is Google's way of locking people with older #Android out of newer apps. Additonally, it lets Google arbitrarily charge fees.

Was going to try Organic Maps from Fdroid to see if I like them...but they have an Agents.md that is the bad kind, one with documentation for agents instead of a kindly fuck off (or telling the agent to act like a cat woman or man).
Will be bombing that thing off of my phone ASAP. At first, I was loving the interface, but they are down with the sloppiness and that is a shame. Glad that I didn't donate to the project, otherwise I would've lived with that regret for a while.

You know what would be a super awesome and useful thing to do with the AI that’s great at finding holes but sucks at fixing them?
What if instead of scanning code for vulnerabilities, we used #ai to scan for misuse of open source code and forced companies to pull products, release them for free, or got #eff or similar group to sue companies and use the proceeds to fund open source developers?

I think an issue with the discourse about #OpenSource software accepting or not accepting #AI code is that it's not hard to get code that's passable as human-written - more so if you consider the quality of human-written code that projects sometimes received before #LLM s got reasonably effective. Whether a project accepts AI code or not, it's near inevitable for AI-written code to be submitted and merged.
What do we do about that? I don't know. It feels like projects would need to start requiring license agreements for patches that effectively absolve them of any infringement claims and put it on the (potentially anonymous, otherwise) submitter or something.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with my own small projects (which have no PRs). It's something I've been thinking about though. I hope other projects are too.

Hello Fedora Linux 45! 🎉
Just upgraded my ThinkPad X1 Carbon from F44 to F45, and the upgrade went incredibly smoothly!
Yes, it's still pre-release software. Yes, I'm running it at my own risk. And so far? Absolutely rock solid!
Some highlights:
- Tighter security: ptrace restricted by default
- Fresh dev stack: Python 3.15, GCC 16.2 & Go 1.27
- kmscon replaces the legacy kernel console
- RPM package signatures enforced by default
Great work, @fedora team! ❤️
👩💻 Alle nutzen Open Source. Aber wer hat eine Strategie dafür?
«PHP2Shell» hat gezeigt: Wer nicht weiss, wo Open Source im Einsatz ist, kann im Ernstfall nicht reagieren. Der OSPO-Track an der DINAconCH zeigt in vier Sessions, wie Organisationen Open Source bewusst und strategisch nutzen.
In diesem Track finden folgende Sessions statt:
💡 Open Source als Säule der digitalen Souveränität in der Bundesverwaltung mit Bruno Schöb
💡Warum Open Source Teil jeder digitalen Strategie sein muss mit Lukas Grossar
💡Marktanforderungen und Open Source: Es fehlt nicht Code, es fehlt Struktur mit David Sommer
💡Open Source für Resilienz und digitale Unabhängigkeit mit Nina Müller
💡AI und das Open-Source-Ökosystem: Was OSPOs jetzt tun sollten mit Olivier Brian

Yeah, I'm not too worried about "agent swarms".
Given where models get their training data, your swarms will be coordinating and cooperating like the open source community does.
so 'agents' seem just as likely to get into each other's way.
It's any piping of LLM output to the terminal of an internet-connected computer that's the issue.

Same hard-coded values (5°, 7°, 25°), same variable and function names, same steps, in the same order.
On one side, FairScan (Kotlin, GPL v3). On the other, Ente Locker (Rust): no copyright notice, no mention of FairScan in the file.
And this is just one function. I found similar matches in multiple files.
I'm not a lawyer and may be missing something. If you read code, I'd like to know what you see.
