@senficon @RecurringBloatware If this is a market failure, the solution isn’t philanthropy—it’s taxation. Let’s not pretend “pooling” is enough. A Sovereign EU fund should be funded by those who profit most: Big Tech. If OSS is so vital, why should EU taxpayers pay while U.S. firms like Amazon or Microsoft reap the benefits? Let’s stop hiding behind vague industry participation and call for real accountability.

👔 #NaData de hoje, mas em 2004, um leitor atento do BR-Linux notou um detalhe interessante na entrevista de Gilberto Gil, então ministro da cultura, à revista Veja: o ‟ministro hacker‟, estava usando um prendedor de gravatas do Tux, o símbolo do #Linux 🐧 Os softwares de código aberto na época eram tema comum no governo federal.
Aproveitei o momento e enviei de presente ao Juliano, o meticuloso leitor que notou e divulgou esse detalhe, um prendedor de gravata igual ao do ministro.
As part of our volunteer-driven accessibility initiative in GNOME Calendar, and for the first time in the 10+ years of Calendar's existence, we finally completed and merged the first step needed to have a working calendar app for people who rely on keyboard navigation. This merge request in particular makes the event widgets focusable with navigation keys (arrow left/up/right/down) and activatable with space/enter. This will be available in GNOME 49.
Most of GNOME Calendar's layout and widgets consist of custom widgets and complex calculations, both independently and according to other factors (window size, height and width of each cell, number of events, positioning, etc.), so these widgets need to be minimal to have as little overhead as possible. This means that these widgets also need to have the necessary accessibility features reimplemented or even rethought, including and starting with the event widgets.
We also hope to get other parts of GNOME Calendar accessible before GNOME 49, but I can't promise anything at the moment. We did start working with making the month view accessible: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/564
#GNOME #Calendar #GNOMECalendar #GTK4 #GTK #Libadwaita #Accessibility #a11y #Linux
Continuing our volunteer effort to make GNOME Calendar fully accessible with a keyboard (see thread for context), we fixed a major bug that was causing the focus to disappear into the abyss when the user tried to tab into the month view in merge request !576. This means, as of this commit, events should now be completely functional and accessible within the month view. Additionally, the merge request changes the keyboard and focus behavior within the month view: Events can only be cycled using arrow buttons, the focus can't escape the month view with arrow buttons, and entering/exiting the month view can only be done with tab. These improvements will be available on GNOME 49.

After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!

Des utilisateurs de #MXLinux par ici ? 👀
En comparaison avec #LinuxMint... 🤔
Je pense à cette #distribution pour #reconditionner du #matériel qui serait trop limite pour bien faire tourner Linux Mint mais je me demande si la différence est significative que ça. 🔍
Et si #MXLinux n'a pas une interface trop austère... 🙈
Bon je teste ça demain 🕵️♂️, mais si je peux avoir des retours à lire ce soir, c'est cool ! 😉👍
Trois repouets effectués 🔁, un vœu exaucé ! 🪔
For me that meant that I had to rebuild my live environment again from scratch since my main mini Pc Computing system has failed me a number of weeks ago. Since I'm quite affluent in using proxmox like environments I've taken it upon me to automate certain of these tasks so that the restoration of the Live environment has happened exponentially faster

Kinda curious to see what the results will be.

I’m looking for anyone in my circles who:
• is a front-end web developer
• has some design sense
• understands the allure of buying a Linux computer
• is open to paid work
A Linux computer company reached out asking if I was available for paid work on their website and while I would love to, I’m just not able to find the time right now. But they’re a great company and I would love to connect them with someone!
@BastilleBSD A dual Pentium II 266MHz with several massive 9GB SCSI drives running Mandrake Linux 9.2. Summer of 2004 at work. That was my first exposure to #Linux. A year or two later was my first exposure to #FreeBSD 6 on a similarly spec'd machine.
Both were big beige boxes.
I have a dual-boot setup with Debian and Elementary on my laptop, because Elementary was my very first Linux distro, so it’s got a place in my heart.
Anyway, here are some shirts I own, along with two logos and a tux I made at work using the Plasma CNC!

First post on the Arch Linux development blog:
Specifications - David Runge
`vet` is a CLI tool that acts as a safety net for the common but risky `curl | bash` command. It lets you inspect remote scripts for changes, run them through a linter, and require your explicit approval before they can execute on your developer or production machine.
In short
From that perspective it would mean that you would have to write / program all code of everything that you need yourself, including the whole Operating System and all the kernel modules.
In reality that's not doable
You take the same amount of risks when you use a distribution. Provided that you download those sources from the websites from the coders themselves.

Free software is critical infrastructure, yet its upkeep falls on volunteers while giants like Microsoft or Google profit. As with other public goods, they should fund it via a dedicated tax feeding (like roads) a European fund (EU-STF) to ensure security and digital sovereignty. Europeans shouldn’t pay so Amazon can remain a free rider.

So I know I don't really post on here much these days, so I guess it's time for an update!
I've recently started an Internship as a Linux Systems Engineer for Managed Web Hosting company. Everything we do is Linux based
It finally feels like all the years of playing around with my Linux #homelab has paid off. I now get paid, to do the very thing I love doing!
Here's to the future
Users of Arch Linux and Arch-based distros take note.
Results of my little survey. Why is Linux growing?
19% believe it is because of sunsetting of OS versions. Microsoft is forcing Windows 11 on people and a lot of people are not happy with that and some are just not able to run it. So with a choice of replacing the HW or the OS, plenty of people choose the OS.
20% believe it is because people are just discovering how good Linux truly is.
41% believe it is a combination.
21% think it is something else, with some mentioning SteamOS as a reason.
Whatever the reason, more and more people are seeing Linux as a great choice, which is only good news to me.
“Who knew giving a ton of money to #CERN would lead to the #WWW? Who knew a Dutch free #OS (#minix) would incentivise a Finnish gradute student to write #Linux (the OS platform on most the cloud, half the smart phones out there)? Who knew that some small TV company (the #BBC) request for a simple low cost computer would lead to the founding of #ARM (that has more chips in the world than Intel or anyone else - again in your mobile device)?” 💯

Linux tip: Use `systemctl --failed` to quickly identify which services failed to start after boot. Much faster than scrolling through journal logs when troubleshooting system issues. #Linux #SystemAdministration #SysAdmin

Am I the only one who feels #BSD community is more united and better formed than #Linux community? Linux seems so divided in the fractions. Or maybe it's because Linux community is bigger and therefore it's possible to have tribes there?

FINALLY! I'm happy to announce the R1 Open Source Project, a new project where release news, articles and documentation about Linux, BSD and FOSS software will be published
The new Mastodon account of the project can be followed here: @r1os
AND the account is also hosted on the BSD Cafe. Cheers to @stefano at this point.
All future FOSS release announcements will be published on the project account.
So grab a cup of coffee and stay tuned for a new website I'm currently preparing and will hopefully announce in a few days.

There are 250 Billion dollars worth of laptops that are not "capable" of running Windows 11, and Windows 10 is NO LONGER getting virus, zero day, hacking fixes.
250 million laptops that can be tech waste, or a much faster Linux computer.
Because linux runs on almost anything, much faster than Windows, and its a friend, not a spy, or handcuffs.

Between hundreds of kernel knobs, pluggable LSMs, systemd worming into everything, and a userland mashup of dbus, glibc, and 50 other daemons...
is it even realistic to secure a modern Linux box anymore?
Compare that to OpenBSD or a tight FreeBSD jail — where the surface area is minimal and sane by default.
🧠 Is “do one thing well” security dead on Linux?
Let’s talk attack surface, patch fatigue, and whether “hardening” just means hoping no one finds the hole.

Does anyone know of a Raspberry Pi CM4 / CM5 carrier board with minimal physical connectors? Like no RJ45 or double stack USB?
I'm basically looking for something as thin as possible. Single height USB-C or HDMI is fine.
Alternatively, something in the Raspberry Pi Zero format but with a bit more CPU "oomph"?
Gotz Links?
Thx!
