BACK IN MY DAY, AI STOOD FOR ADOBE ILLUSTRSTOR, AND WE HATED THAT TOO

@davidculley as predicted, alpine would ultimately have to do nothing. so we did nothing.

@ariadne ignore that guy, he's just a random flathub org member talking about something he's not even involved in.

@neal @ariadne It is not the first time that person has written AI slop. In fact this has been going for at least 2 years.

to be absolutely clear: alpine is *not* switching to systemd or implementing a 'systemd compatibility layer'.

https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/alpine-linux-experiments-systemd-compatibility-while-keeping-its-lightweight-identity is literally AI slop

@ariadne @postmarketOS that's also why I like it :)

Happy to announce the 0.18 release of Poezio, a terminal XMPP messaging client.

This new release brings better compatibility with python 3.15, Message Retraction support, a new way of showing or hiding groupchat presences, and a lot of typing!

A more detailed changelog is available on my blog:

You know your product is bad if you need to send lobbyists to the freakin' #Pope.

What wallpaper shall we use in the upcoming v26.06 release?

Thanks to dikasp, MultisampledNight and foobtech for creating these amazing AI-free wallpapers!

Little project I've been working on for the past two days. A reverse engineered implementation of the Android Auto server, running on my OnePlus 6 with PostmarketOS. The implementation is incredibly basic, only has basic video, but it's enough to display Sway and firefox :D

Next major step is getting it to work on a "proper" headunit. It works with my generic Chinese portable Android Auto / CarPlay screen but on a proper Toyota headunit inside a 2019 Toyota Aygo it fails somewhere along the way on the authentication chain.

@noisytoot and like, from his replies, it is very clear all he wants was attention and creating drama.

 16:47 <f_> I guess one is no longer allowed to share drafts of ideas they have on the top of their head without someone else trolling and making all this a huge controversy for no reason

@craftyguy well they succeeded at it

@craftyguy either way it's just tiring. We should all be united and work towards bringing a *good* ecosystem to compete with the proprietary walled gardens. Yes, there will be disagreements on how to implement things, and yes that may lead to other implementations of the same thing down the road, doing things differently (which is not bad actually, as long as it's *healthy* competition, like e.g. what postmarketOS is to Mobian). But we won't be able to achieve a good, open free software ecosystem if trolls are constantly spreading FUD, constantly attacking people, constantly naming folks, basically trying to divide all of us.

And I also want to say: getting death threats in your email inbox each morning, as a free time open source maintainer, shouldn't become the new normal.

@craftyguy Either money or throwing specific people under the bus is their goal... or both

@noisytoot at least he's in the flathub github org

@noisytoot he's *only* a flathub maintainer, not actually a flatpak developer working on the v2 internals.

@domi :o what tv box is this?

How do you securely chat in 2026? easy, you just wall each other on sakamoto, the most secure privacy-oriented and e2e encrypted chat platform available

 ellyqw │ no doxxing ourselves on alpine irc though
@panekj │ we should use a secure communication
@panekj │ wall me on sakamoto
 ellyqw │ good idea
