Dialect 1.1.0 is out. Dialect is a free and open source Android launcher where your home screen is a T9 phone dialpad, type digits like an old feature phone to filter and launch your apps.
This release adds contact dialing. Type a contact's name to call them, same as searching for an app. Type 60 first to message them instead. Dialect picks between Phone, WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS depending on what you have installed, with a default you can set globally or override per contact, including a per contact "always ask" option.

Lovely #WritingCommunity, even though I went a bit silent on my daily posts since my last holidays, I did not sit idle...

Today I'd like to share a sneak preview of a new project I'm working on: Flow Writer.

- Minimalist writing software for manuscripts
- Outline tools with sections for chapters, characters, locations, timeline and notes
- Export to PDF, Ebook or ODT.
- #OpenSource for paying customers

If this is something you'd be interested in, hit me up!

I just released Dialect, a free and open source Android launcher where your home screen is a T9 phone dialpad.
Type digits like an old feature phone to filter your installed apps and launch them. Press 3, then 4, and Discord comes up, since D is 3 and I is 4. Each key press narrows the list, and Enter launches the top match.
It has full TalkBack support: key labels read like a real phone dialpad, Enter announces exactly which app it will launch.
1.0 is out now, fully open source, on GitHub. Feedback, bug reports, and contributions welcome.

Als kleinen Nachtrag zu unserer gestrigen Fediverse-Sprechstunde zum Thema „Was sind Issues und wie erstelle ich welche?“ möchte ich die wichtigsten Punkte rund um Issues noch einmal kompakt zusammenfassen. 🐞💡

Issues – kurz zusammengefasst

Was ist ein Issue?
Ein Issue ist ein strukturierter Eintrag in der Projektverwaltung einer Software. Damit können Nutzer, Administratoren und Entwickler beispielsweise Fehler melden, Verbesserungen vorschlagen, Wünsche einbringen oder konkrete Aufgaben diskutieren und verfolgen.

Wofür werden Issues genutzt?

• 🐞 Bug Report: Einen Fehler melden
• 💡 Feature Request: Eine neue Funktion vorschlagen
• 🔧 Verbesserung: Bestehendes Verhalten optimieren
• 📝 Dokumentation: Fehler oder Lücken in Anleitungen melden
• 💬 Klärung: Technische Probleme nachvollziehbar beschreiben und gemeinsam untersuchen

Ein gutes Issue sollte …

einen aussagekräftigen Titel haben
Nicht: „Friendica funktioniert nicht“
Besser: „Bilder können beim Erstellen eines Beitrags nicht hochgeladen werden“

das Problem möglichst genau beschreiben
Was wollte ich tun? Was ist stattdessen passiert?

reproduzierbar sein
Welche Schritte führen zu dem Fehler?

wichtige technische Angaben enthalten
Zum Beispiel Software-Version, Browser, Betriebssystem, verwendete App oder Serverumgebung – soweit für das Problem relevant.

Fehlermeldungen und Logs enthalten
Wenn vorhanden, aber vorher unbedingt auf Passwörter, Tokens, IP-Adressen oder andere sensible Daten prüfen.

vorher die Suche nutzen 🔎
Vielleicht wurde das Problem bereits gemeldet. Dann ist es oft hilfreicher, ein bestehendes Issue um zusätzliche Informationen zu ergänzen.

Vom Problem zur Lösung

Problem entdecken → vorhandene Issues suchen → Informationen sammeln → Issue erstellen → Rückfragen beantworten → gemeinsam Ursache finden → Lösung → Issue schließen

Wichtig dabei: Ein Issue ist keine Bestellung an die Entwickler. Bei vielen Fediverse-Projekten arbeiten Menschen freiwillig in ihrer Freizeit. Ein freundlicher, sachlicher und möglichst vollständiger Bericht erleichtert ihnen die Arbeit erheblich.

Warum sind Issues für das Fediverse wichtig?

Open-Source-Software lebt von Beteiligung. Man muss nicht programmieren können, um zur Entwicklung beizutragen.

Ein gut geschriebenes Issue kann bereits ein wertvoller Beitrag sein. Nutzer kennen Probleme aus ihrem Alltag, Administratoren sehen die Auswirkungen auf ihren Instanzen und Entwickler können daraus technische Lösungen entwickeln.

Issues verbinden damit Nutzer, Admins und Entwickler. 🤝

Fehler finden ist keine Kritik am Projekt – einen Fehler nachvollziehbar zu melden kann aktive Mitarbeit am Projekt sein.

Vielleicht hilft diese kleine Zusammenfassung dem einen oder anderen dabei, beim nächsten entdeckten Fehler, einer Idee oder einem Verbesserungsvorschlag selbst den Weg zum Issue-Tracker zu finden.

Denn auch ohne selbst programmieren zu können, können wir mit guten und aussagekräftigen Issues einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung freier Software leisten. 🤝🌐

dropQbsd porting from OpenBSD to FreeBSD almost complete: testing phase now. Same scripts run on both systems. mksh adopted for full BSD portability. Next challenge: include NextBSD.

The philosophy stays the same: few lines of code, no virtualization, dead-simple configuration. Compartmentalization without virtualization, built on BSD primitives. Most threat models, minimal attack surface.

What if the best AI model for your product is the one you *didn't* train for two years?

That's exactly what we discovered while building a new version of SPOT, our free geolocation verification tool. 

Furthermore, SPOT is now officially out of beta: better search, broader OSM coverage, and new tools that make geolocation verification easier than ever.

We’re currently working on Parch Immutable, an immutable edition of Parch GNU/Linux that is planned to become the foundation of our future commercial project, Apadana.

Right now, Parch Immutable is built around bootc, and we’re testing its potential as a stable, lightweight, and modern operating system for personal desktops.

In the initial beta release, software installation will primarily be handled through Flatpak. We’re also shipping Distrobox and Waydroid by default, allowing users to run additional Linux software and Android applications without compromising the base system.

Our primary desktop environment remains KDE Plasma. We’ve also made contributions to KDE from time to time, particularly around Persian localization and translation.

We’re planning to bring the same architecture to Parch Mobile as well, with an experimental build coming soon for testing.

We’d genuinely appreciate your technical feedback, ideas, and suggestions that could help us improve Parch Immutable and, more broadly, contribute to the growth of the free and open-source software ecosystem in Iran and internationally.

Zeno's arrow doesn't move — flawless logic, absurd conclusion. A closed system can be internally perfect and entirely false. Now look at the apps in your pocket.

The walled garden. The opaque interface. The LLM that narrates without ever consulting the world. Coherence without correspondence. Stories without ground.

Truth is not a property. It's a relation — between the mind and what is not the mind. Closing the hood isn't bad UX. It's a refusal of the other. And the refusal of the other is the refusal of ethics.

If you talk about #AI in the #Federation, you’re quickly attacked.

Yesterday I mentioned #Omarchy #Linux—not to promote it. It represents the world we’re now entering. You can reject all this AI and #agent #coding, but it’s here to stay; it’s not going away.
Linux is the number one platform where this will take place—at a breathtaking speed. And I firmly believe that the classic #OpenSource scene, just like the rest of the world, needs to emancipate itself in this regard.

There are the #OpenWeights AI models; if we take off our blinders and stop being afraid all the time, we can build our own infrastructure. The last six months have changed the world. It’s a turning point in human #history that cannot be overstated. I don’t think the comparison to the invention of the steam engine—which is always brought up—is all that far off. No one can predict the #future, but it will be different from today—that much is certain. #oss

Better if it's self-hostable, but otherwise, decentralized anyways.

No idea if LibreOffice is still accessible, if it has a presentation tool - OnlyOffice is excluded, accessibility isn't optimized at all despite they speak about it. Already had a call with them but no news came since long.

Millions of automated requests are hitting Kernel.org daily, pushing maintainers to deploy increasingly aggressive defenses against AI crawlers.

I should probably write more on this, but this topic just came up in a private chat and want to share it here.

This discourse over #AI in #OpenSource is just the old Proprietary vs Open Source debate from 20+ years ago.

Back then, the proprietary people would say stuff like "Microsoft is everywhere, you can't avoid it", "Linux is a toy OS, real work requires windows", "You're going to be left behind".

Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

｢ What LLMs in Debian development will do, I fear, is eliminate any incentive to scrap boilerplate or reform policies that require a lot of other senseless human effort. If I had had access to LLMs 30 years ago, I might have just had them generate the rules files, replate with complexity. So they will make Debian even more firmly what it is, and ever less likely to explore what it could become ｣

📢 Erinnerung: Morgen (Montag, 31.08.2026) ist wieder Fediverse-Sprechstunde! 🌐

„Mach doch einfach ein Issue auf!“

Diesen Satz hat vielleicht der eine oder die andere schon einmal gehört. Aber … was ist eigentlich ein Issue? 🤔

🐞 Ich habe einen Fehler entdeckt – wie melde ich ihn richtig?
💡 Ich habe eine Idee – wo werde ich sie los?
🛠️ Ich wünsche mir eine Verbesserung – darf ich dafür ein Issue erstellen?
📝 Und was muss überhaupt hineingeschrieben werden, damit Entwickler damit etwas anfangen können?

Genau darum geht es morgen Abend in unserer nächsten Fediverse-Sprechstunde:

📅 Montag, 31.08.2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr
💻 Online

✨ Was sind Issues und wie erstelle ich welche?

Durch den Abend führt uns Jens @qbi , den einige vielleicht noch von unserer Fediverse-Sprechstunde zum Thema BookWyrm kennen.

Als Administrator und Entwickler kennt Jens Issues aus der Praxis und wird uns zeigen, wie sie funktionieren und wie wir selbst gute und hilfreiche Issues erstellen können.

Und keine Sorge: Ihr müsst weder programmieren können noch Entwickler sein! 😊

Gerade das soll ein Thema für uns alle sein. Denn Open-Source-Projekte und damit auch viele Anwendungen im Fediverse leben davon, dass Nutzer Fehler melden, Ideen einbringen und Rückmeldungen geben.

Vielleicht verlieren wir morgen gemeinsam auch ein bisschen die Scheu vor GitHub, Codeberg & Co. 😉

Wie immer gilt bei unserer Sprechstunde:

💬 Fragen ausdrücklich erwünscht!
🤝 Erfahrungen dürfen geteilt werden.
🌱 Einsteiger sind genauso willkommen wie erfahrene Nutzer, Admins und Entwickler.

Denn das Fediverse lebt nicht nur von seiner Technik, sondern vor allem von den Menschen, die gemeinsam daran arbeiten, es ein kleines Stück besser zu machen.

Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander. 💜

👉 Morgen, Montag, 31.08.2026 um 19:30 Uhr

💻 Konferenzraum:
campus.ws-12.de/rooms/8p9-mvy-…

Kommt einfach vorbei – wir freuen uns auf euch! 😊

📢 Weitersagen und Teilen sehr gern erwünscht.

The growing divide between AI hype and software engineering reality

It is widely accepted that there is an AI bubble in the financial markets at the moment. The moderate opinion is however that LLMs are constantly improving and will eventually take over more and more tasks from humans and increase productivity. But are LLMs actually getting smarter, or just better at fooling us?

Question: In the age of vibe-coding and AI slop, is it time to start creating AI-free/handcrafted forks of open source software projects?

There was a time when the free & open source software movement stood in opposition to big tech.

It's become a cliché now, but when Microsoft found a new way to enshittify Windows, the natural response was "install Linux", because open source stood in opposition to bug tech.

Yet with the emergence of LLMs, there's a significant number of open source projects that gladly accept Claude-generated code. Some maintainers are open advocates.

So is it time for a fork, when an explicitly open and AI-free software movement separates from FOSS projects that openly embrace AI?
