I've been running #Tumpa CLI for a while on a few selected git repositories, where I use #yubikey for the #PGP key storage.

Today I have globally replaced gpg2 with tcli and tglig in the git config. It does the job very well and is far less annoying than gpg ever was. The tcli agent is also much more nicely behaving than the gpg-agent.

Thank you, @kushal for an excellent work on Tumpa!

And I'm even more impressed that Tumpa even handles multiple Yubikeys plugged in in parallel. It selects the right key for the right identity and the tcli agent even caches the needed passphrase/PIN as expected. This is something which was a complete mess with GnuPG.

@ZBennoui @kellylford @matt The big thing is that for decades, we've essentially been the beggars, not the choosers. Even in #openSource, often when you ask for an #accessibility enhancement you either get a "no, too hard" or "submit PR and then maybe lmao". With that pushback it makes sense that people have decided they've had enough of not being considered important enough and just making a tool yourself. Even well-established projects like #microsoft #windows, #apple #MacOS etc. have been steadily backsliding over the last decade so what's a person to do?
It absolutely means there's likely a lot of tools out there that may very well be doing things insecurely or inefficiently, and the developer might not even know. So now it becomes a responsibility question: do we blame the dev, who isn't a dev, for doing dev wrong, or the user for trusting what they feel is now their only/best option? THis is where accessibility negligence has taken us.

How does Fedora process patches for security vulnerabilities? The short answer is that we work to stay on top of the news to implement patches, working in the community and with Red Hat for updates.

The long answer: https://fedoramagazine.org/how-fedora-is-responding-to-recent-kernel-vulnerabilities/

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is keep your system updated. :)

The old web was decentralized:

- Newsgroups
- Personal Websites
- Bulletin board
- Email as a service, not a platform
- Internet relay chat (IRC)
- Early blogs

Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people.

The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation.

Take back the web. Decentralize again 💪 Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.
