Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons in c/[email protected]

I think Bluesky can be an exception. I think it's way better than Mastodon from a UX standpoint. And it's still open.

Yes, I'm sadly surprised by many open source projects still posting on that cesspool

The US is such a third world country. Freedom my ass.

The same. I used to love GNOME, now I'm forced to use KDE because GNOME 3+ is completely disgusting and unusable.

Paramount also owns Pluto TV which is completely free and I love them for that.

Ah. English is not my native tongue so I thought hung was the passive form for hang. Sorry, and thanks for correcting me!

Twitter's Traffic Falling (Relative to Bluesky) in c/[email protected]

Yes, this is important. Block as soon as possible, don't interact.

Bluesky also has nice user provided block-lists, so you can block lots of accounts right away as soon as you sign up.

We've created an updated version of Beeper Mini that fixes an issue that caused messages not to be sent or received. We even added in a few new feature improvements: chats now open at the last unread message, and we polished the video player a bit!

Simple Mobile Tools have a new name: Fossify, an open-source fork (github.com)

We all saw in the news that Simple Mobile Tools got acquired by ZipoApps and they started filling up the free apps with ads.

Luckily, being those apps open source, a new fork has been created.

It's called Fossify. They forked all the apps on GitHub and they have a new maintainer.

Now we just need to wait for their first official release and then... we need to spread the word and make people switch from the old SMT apps to Fossify!
