fennell.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Vorher fertig Denken ist immer sinnvoll. Gerade Journalisten sollten deggogled sein.
- Senioren ohne Smartphone, die vielleicht noch einen Computer haben werden ausgeschlossen
- Alle #degoogled Smartphone Benutzer, ala #GrapheneOS , #LineageOS und andere werden ausgeschlossen, da die App vermutlich nicht Open Sourece im #FDroid verfügbar ist
- Alle #Linux am #Smartphone User ala #ubports #postmarkeos #mobian und andere werden ausgeschlossen, weil es da die App nicht gibt.
Es hat den Anschein, dass im #EndOf10-Kontext nun die meisten Computer mit #Linux revitalisiert 🥳, durch #Windows 11-Geräte ersetzt 😒 und größtenteils verschrottet wurden 😭.
Was jedoch Fakt ist: Wir verzeichnen aktuell einen deutlichen Rückgang an Laptopspenden, so dass mehrere Standorte keine Geräte mehr für die Instandsetzung zur Verfügung haben.
Darum spendet uns bitte eure Laptops (https://computertruhe.de/spenden/sachspenden/#laptops) und erzählt euren Freund*innen, eurer Familie und euren Kolleg*innen von uns. 🙇
The French government says it's ditching Windows in favor of the Linux operating system, in an acceleration of its digital sovereignty initiative. Here's more from @TomsHardware.
Linux 7.0 has now been tagged, coming with 19 commits upstreamed from the Librem 5 tree - two by NXP and the rest by yours truly on behalf of @purism. Three more are already queued for 7.1.
While the mainline kernel still can't drive the display without extra patches, it's very close now 👀

boostedSome exciting news to kick off the week: After over five years of development and collaboration across the Open Source community, mainline Linux support for Rockchip RK3588's video capture hardware has finally landed! Next up: full ISP support! 🎉

Hoping someone out there can help me understand what's happening with Signal and its desktop implementations. Trying it out on phone with my partner as we de-bigtech and the reviews on flathub are brutal. But also from a while back. 1. Is plaintext passwords on desktop still the issue, 2. Are there workarounds? 3. How bad is the issue at all? For our personal stuff fine to stay on phone, but there's a big picture plan to move some professional work off WhatsApp to signal. #linux #fedora #signal
Perfecto! Gracias!
PS: Sé que las facultades deben ser las instituciones que enseñen pensamiento libre y autonomía digital — y muchas veces no son. Acá es lo mismo. En un lado hay universidades que usan el #fediverse en vez de Xwitter y #BBB o #JitsiMeet en vez de Zoom. En otro lado hay universidades que cambian sus servidores #Linux por servicios #GAFAM y #exim por MSexchange.
Voy a estar dando una charla en FLISOL 2026 en la UNLa sobre Debian 🙌
https://www.linkedin.com/events/flisol2026unla7447634337694478336/
Vamos a ver cómo participar en la comunidad Debian Argentina, qué hace a Debian un proyecto único a nivel global y cómo podés empezar a contribuir.

Got most of the of the major features reverse-engineered and fully functional implemented in the UI.
I almost have stock Debian 13 booting on this DragonBoard 410c with U-Boot, firmware is the issue. I would like to revisit PostmarketOS on it too. It's a really interesting little board - the worst thing about it is the size of the RAM. I can work within that though. I need to figure out how to add more packages to Postmarket OS though.
This seems to be the crucial bit: "Regarding the evolution of the workstation, DINUM announces the exit of Windows in favour of #Linux operating system desktops."
I really want to hear more about France's plans to migrate government to #Linux as part of their #DigitalSovereignty strategy.

France is transitioning government desktops to Linux, with each ministry required to formalize its implementation plan by autumn 2026.
