Why use a URL shortener when you can use a phishy URL extender? https://phishyurl.com/ Keep your security people alert and awake, generate phishing-looking redirecting link #infosec

Sometimes when throwing out rotten food I ask myself, what if this actually is a delicacy, you know, like surströmming? And then I throw it out anyway.

postmarketOS will never ask for your ID to let users install your app!

Super smart visual tension and analogy.

The call for evidence for the planned revision of Rail Passenger Rights is apparently still on the agenda, I thought it was scrapped following the latest election. If you travel by rail across our internal European borders or wishes you could but don't due to the current complexities, please […]

Noooooooooooo how could they delay the #Fehmarnbelt tunnel by three years :(((((

Is there some award for using your phone so long that both the volume rocker AND power button fall off? I would like to claim it.

Adding pentesting to my CV (just tested > 30 pens on my desk and threw away the ones that didn't work)

The world if GitLab didn't re-order the stage job list when you cancel jobs

today in teleslop: pavel durov is surprised French media doesn't cover an interview with him done by some television host from the USA.

#postmarketOS v25.06 is in the pipeline and you can help us out with two things: * Which wallpaper shall we choose? Can you help us once again dear Fediverse? :blobcat: * Test it on your favorite devices and report back if you run into any issues! […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

Just got an advertisement in the mail from some company called CityMail saying that starting today they will be delivering mail and packages in Linköping and Norrköping. I assume the intent was to give a good first impression but that does rather fall apart when the ad wasn't addressed for me […]

Just cooked with an induction stove for the first time. Life-changing experience.

#phosh-osk-stub is now #stevia 🎹 . The rename wants to reflect that - it's not just a stub - typing should hopefully be "sweet" (and it allows us to keep the "pos_" symbol prefix). https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/stevia Thanks to @newbyte#steviafor the help in finding the name!

[what] OH: The Mysterious Macadoo? Wait, no, X Ambassadors.

@osuosl has been around for 22 years. They kindly host our gitlab for 6 months now, and provide important services for more than 150 other free and open source software communities such as @alpinelinux, @chimera , @debian, @fdroidorg, @gentoo, @gnome, @LineageOS, #replicantos, @torproject. Now […]

The world would be more funny if instead of having years there was a consortium that perpetually had to keep coming up with new month names.

This is just ridiculous: https://newrepublic.com/post/193395/agriculture-department-ban-words-safe-drinking-water

In our previous blog post 2025 Priorities: Reliability, Audio, Cameras and More, we asked "is there anything that you find terribly important that we have missed here?". And indeed, there was one thing that people would have liked us to focus more on, which is a better keyboard experience. This […]

Thinking about when the worst misinformation I'd see online was messages claiming I'd die tonight if I didn't forward them to ten people.

I'm at 3 USB A to C cables that my #purism #librem5 somehow has turned into "slow charging cables". Is anyone else having this issue? I can't prove with certainty that it's the Librem 5 doing it, but it's the common denominator. For what it's worth, the charging is slow even if I use a […]

Awful advertisement idea #1: beverage advertised for its inability to stain your shirt if you accidentally spill it

Goes hard: http://textfiles.com/underconstruction

The next big thing for postmarketOS: - all dependencies optional - no more tech debt - systemd and OpenRC installable simultaneously - retaining pbsplash as bootup splash while switching to plymouth for shutdown splash - every UI package merged into one

Congratulations to Germany for having the highest election turnout since reunification — 83,5%, pretty good! Thanks for doing your part in keeping democracy alive :)

TIL that woke is when you tell people to consider donating to free software projects.

Another banger of an MR finally merged after years of work! Really looking forward to a smoother #gnome experience on my laptop.

Never thought I'd lose my phone's volume button.

No way, they finally merged it. Over five years of work.

Woke up to another two rounds of spam on Codeberg :(

Fun fact: If any directory leading to the path to your pmaports checkout has the name "archived", any device you select will be considered archived by #pmbootstrap and consequently show the (in)appropriate warning.

More reasons to avoid Google Maps and I suppose more broadly Google. I don't live nor currently reside in the USA (or using a VPN for that matter), why am I getting this bullshit name?

"we are not a banana republic!!" - DSB train conductor

Today I learnt what a bird conducting 15 kV of power through its body sounds like. Ouch.

If anyone still is confused about whether the USA is our ally. (full article: https://www.ft.com/content/ace02a6f-3307-43f8-aac3-16b6646b60f6)

Wohoo, Lomiri is finally in #postmarketos pmaports master! (no thanks to me, I just hit the merge button)

Horrendous. I love it: https://neal.fun/stimulation-clicker

I can't be the only one who feels icky about corporate emails constantly including the name I provided them (usually my real name) in the subject. Why do they do this? I'm sure the answer is something about engagement but personally I'm just inclined to unsubscribe.

I really wish I understood this scam. Why did my apparent identity thief who's seemingly called Isabella share this number with me. There's also a base64-encoded PNG image included, but try as I might I can't get it to render.

Could really go for some 301 Moved Permanently rn

I often think about the time I asked a local politician from #sverigedemokraterna about what his vision of a future #Linköping would be. He stops to think for a bit. "More security cameras".

REAL software development is when your commit messages look like fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup! fixup!

pmbootstrap and The CI Who Cried Wolf

They should invent docstrings that don't constantly lie to you.

Just learnt that there's an open source alternative to Stack Exchange called Codidact https://codidact.org. Of course, it also has a StackOverflow-style software Q&A: https://software.codidact.com. No idea if it's any good given that a website like this really only is as useful as its community […]

[Vent] I pick up someone else's cigarette butt to throw it away and consequently my glove smells like smoke. Truly no good deed goes unpunished.

First photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy S III on #postmarketOS, probably! Credits to Jack Kekzoz, @martijnbraam, and whoever else helped him with getting #Megapixels working on the Midas (Samsung Galaxy S III and Note II) devices — I'm just posting about this […] [Original post on mastodon.nu]

Insane how liberating it is to have drag-and-drop that works consistently and doesn't result in Firefox crashing. 2025 year of the NVIDIA + Wayland desktop?
