Ich wollte ja eigentlich ein Panorama mit Hugin rechnen, aber irgendwie läuft Hugin auf macOS 15.6.1 und einem Apple-M4-Chip nicht mehr richtig.

Kennt da jemand eine Lösung oder ähnlich guten Ersatz?

    With a little Debian VM magic (vmctl, pf, ssh), you can run Signal Desktop mostly seamlessly; even with a menu icon.

              From the Orca mailing list:

              Hey all.

              I just landed a refactor in the main branch that impacts the following:

              * Key echo (what is spoken when you press keys)
              * Character echo (what is spoken when a character is inserted)
              * Word + sentence echo (what is spoken as you type)

              Hopefully I've broken nothing.

              I've also made all the settings associated with these accessible via the
              D-Bus Remote Controller. This should make it possible for games to turn
              off key echo when keys are used for navigation. Note that this is like
              all the other on-the-fly settings, so if you Alt+Tab into another app,
              the change won't persist. But as I've mentioned before, and subsequently
              documented [1], that is not a D-Bus-specific issue.

              Regardless, I'd really appreciate some testing. I didn't realize the
              49.0 release is due already....

              Thanks!

                I do care a lot about preventing vendor lock-in and a Free and Open Source software development environment (Git forge). In general, I'm willing to accept some inconvenience for having freedom.

                I would applaud it if Organic Maps moved to @Codeberg

                In this way the Free and Open Source Software development ecosystem would be strengthened.

                  Dúvida para militantes ou simpatizantes do movimento de código aberto

                  Existe algum termo para o militante ou simpatizante do movimento de código aberto/cultura livre?

                  Estou traduzindo um texto do cartunista-colunista-escritor francófono Grise Bouille em que ele cita a palavra “libriste“ para falar de si mesmo como simpatizante do “movimento de cultura livre”.

                  Estou pensando em utilizar na versão em português a palavra “liberalista”, em contraposição ao “liberal”, designando “aquele que quer deixar a cultura livre”.

                  Vocês têm algum termo melhor?

                          Corporate social media broke the internet 😭

                          @taylorlorenz.bsky.social and @chaykak.bsky.social perfectly capture how algorithmic feeds and corporate surveillance have stifled the joy of casual posting. When every post is engineered for engagement, interactions feel performative, and platforms are designed to keep you endlessly scrolling, the internet loses its personal touch. Corporate social media has commodified connection, turned spontaneity into strategy, and reduced authenticity to performance.

                          :fedi: But there's a way out: FOSS and the Fediverse. By embracing open-source software and decentralized platforms, you're not just avoiding surveillance—you're reclaiming control. You dictate what happens to your data, curate your own feed, and shape your online experience.

                          Envision an internet where you can share a silly thought, a random photo, or a half-baked idea without worrying about it being algorithmically buried or monetized. That's the promise of the Fediverse. It's not a utopia, but it's a significant step forward. :heart_cyber:

                                                                      I spent some time with a (non-Pro) PinePhone as a daily driver. Really the only thing I couldn't live with was the camera; I have children I want to be able to take photos and especially videos of.

                                                                      Seriously considering something like an MNT Pocket Reform w/ a SIM. Do away with a "phone" altogether and go with an open hardware device that can do VOIP. I'd miss Maps, but could make do with OSM.

                                                                      The kids are still on Android (Lineage) but I can probably manage that, until they're of age, with a cheapo WiFi-only burner.

                                                                      Anyone have experiences / recommendations (for or against) they'd care to share?
