"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that...
Per-Screen Virtual Desktops and Wayland Session Restore are coming to Plasma, Settings makes it easier to choose your default calendar (and the calendar widget makes it easier to access it), and adding apps to your Favorites in the app launcher becomes a breeze.
And much more.
It's a new Continuwuity chat release! We've got a lot of cool new stuff this past month. Email verification! Terms and Conditions! Deleting notification pushers! So exciting - but also super important for running communities on your terms.
Go and read the full changelog and grab the release while it's hot:

nvme kernel module wasn't being loaded for some reason??Worked around it by putting force_drivers+=" nvme " in /etc/dracut.conf.d/, but I'm not quite sure why it suddenly broke... Perhaps the nvme kernel module was built-in, and some update made it a loadable module?

/e/ and Murena have been been promoting their products by misleading people about GrapheneOS for years. This has turned into an all out war on GrapheneOS by their company and supporters. We began regularly debunking their inaccurate claims and they try to frame it as aggression.
@GrapheneOS
STOP BASHING OTHER ALTERNATIVE ANDROID ROMS
@niavy These threads are a direct response to attacks on our project and exist to address the inaccurate claims made about the GrapheneOS project and our team. We're defending ourselves from /e/ and Murena along with their supporters continuing to mislead people about GrapheneOS.
We're going to address the fact that their supporters use the tactic of portraying our threads addressing their inaccurate claims to falsely present us as the aggressor. It's another of their inaccurate talking points.
@GrapheneOS It's great you're taking time to clear up factually incorrect claims, whether they're made out of maliciousness or naivety. Constructive community engagement is great!
But please, for the love of god, this information only belongs A) in the threads where factually incorrect claims are being made and B) on your website in the FAQ section.
I know it's not intuitive, but pushing conflict into everyone's face again and again makes your project seem *less* trustworthy, not more.
Those who spread misinfo make individual posts and shove it in peoples faces. GOS is allowed to make posts about topics that pertain to them, especially if they are to point out harm and abuse.
I'd add that I've recently unfollowed GOS precisely because almost every single interaction of theirs seems to have been negative. Even if it's correcting misinformation.
Now every time I see a GOS toot I think to myself "great, GOS drama again." I don't need that in my life.
@tastyraspberry@mastodon.online's suggestions were on point. I suggest you take them to heart.
P.S.: thanks for making GOS :)

What a horribly apathetic thing to say. They wouldnt respond to abuse if they werent being abused.
They've created widespread misconceptions about the GrapheneOS project with inaccurate claims about the purpose of the project and what it provides to users. Many people incorrectly believe they aren't our target audience or that it wouldn't be a good fit for them due to this.
GrapheneOS is a privacy project which is intended to be usable by everyone. Usability and app compatibility are top priorities. Our userbase largely isn't highly technical. It's very easy to install and use. Devices can be purchased around the world with GrapheneOS preinstalled.
There's a comparison between operating systems based on the Android Open Source Project at https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm which provides a good overview of how GrapheneOS compares to other options. GrapheneOS is clearly a privacy project and is a major innovator in privacy protections.
GrapheneOS has an extremely high level of app compatibility. Nearly every Android app can be used on it which is crucial for broad usability. A tiny subset of Android apps banning using an alternate OS which we haven't yet worked around or convinced to allow it are incompatible.
Our primary focus is improving the usability and out-of-the-box experience of GrapheneOS. We're continuing to add own privacy and security focused implementations of functionality normally provided by Google apps/services. The user-facing apps are being overhauled and replaced.
We already shipped our own network-based location and geocoding implementations which we'll be making more discoverable. Our high quality local text-to-speech implementation is shipping soon and we'll also be providing a local speech-to-text implementation. A lot more is coming.
/e/ bundles many privacy invasive apps/services. That includes adding a bunch of Google services not present in AOSP with privileged access. They implement speech-to-text by sending user data to OpenAI without informing users about it. We cannot do that.
https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114880528716479708
Apple and Google both provide support for offline speech-to-text using local models. Users can configure it to be fully offline.
The Murena Voice to Text service in /e/OS sends the user's audio to OpenAI which is hidden away in their terms of service:
https://community.e.foundation/t/voice-to-text-feature-using-open-ai/70509
Providing users with privacy requires ongoing work to address privacy vulnerabilities. GrapheneOS keeps up with the standard Android privacy patches. We also fix many Android privacy issues ourselves including VPN leaks. We're actively working on fixing remaining VPN issues.
Privacy heavily depends on security. Security vulnerabilities are widely exploited to obtain user data. State actors aren't the only ones exploiting vulnerabilities and it's not at all limited to targeted attacks. Privacy depends on fixing both privacy and security flaws.
Commercially developed exploits are widely deployed against users both online and in the physical world. Broadly using exploits against many people at a protest, crossing a border or visiting a high traffic website is not a small scale targeted attack. This is not going away.
/e/ and Murena have repeatedly repeated attacks by authoritarians on privacy technology by claiming without basis that GrapheneOS is mainly useful to criminals and used by criminals. They're claiming it about hardening against vulnerabilities in general:
https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116353973732143171
Gaël Duval is the founder and president of the /e/ foundation along with the CEO of Murena. Duval and his organizations have consistently taken a stance against protecting users from exploits. In this video, he once again claims protecting against exploits is only useful for pedophiles and spies.
Translation to English:
> There's the attack surface, on that front we're not security specialists here, so I couldn't answer you precisely, but from the discussions I've had, it seems that everything
These inaccurate talking points used by /e/ and Murena to mislead people about the purpose of GrapheneOS, what it provides and who uses it are heavily propagated by their supporters to harm GrapheneOS in podcasts, blog posts, forums, social media and elsewhere. It's pervasive.
/e/ and Murena are based in France. Recently, France's national law enforcement has been smearing GrapheneOS, Signal and other privacy projects. They've heavily pushed the same false narrative as /e/ and Murena claiming GrapheneOS primarily benefits and is used by criminals.
Both state and corporate media in France repeated inaccurate claims from their nationa law enforcement without questioning it. They presented false claims about the features, distribution, marketing and userbase. They conflated it with sketchy products which aren't GrapheneOS.
/e/ and Murena are aligning themselves with these false narratives about genuine privacy and security projects. Their supporters are also aligning themselves with this. Their concept of privacy is control and surveillance by EU corporations and governments instead of the US.
Podcast Projets Libres heavily promotes /e/ and Murena. They've consistently misrepresented the GrapheneOS project to promote those. Our corrections have consistently been ignored. They recently published an episode heavily pushing many of these false narratives about GrapheneOS.
The /e/ enthusiast interviewed in the podcast replied twice to our thread from 4 days earlier addressing Duval's claims about hardening being for pedophiles and GrapheneOS somehow not being a privacy project. This is exactly the narrative which was heavily pushed in the episode.
After our response to their post promoted the podcast episode was once again ignored, we posted https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116380872236123594 as a top-level thread addressing it. Following this, they made one minor correction while keeping the outrageous claim we aren't a privacy project fully intact.
Podcast Projets Libres and Framasoft have closely worked with /e/ to promite it. /e/ is not a legitimate privacy project but rather one which fails to provide basic standard patches and protections while adding invasive services. These people are not legitimate privacy advocates.
/e/ isn't a privacy project but rather a digital sovereignty project. It receives millions of euros in funding from the EU with the goal of moving technology within the control of the EU. /e/ supports violating people's right to privacy as long as it's France and the EU doing it.
https://www.projets-libres.org/en/podcast/e-os-a-degoogled-android-gael-duval-e-foundation-murena/
> The European Union has subsidized us to the tune of several million for this project.
Murena sells products largely built with funding received from the EU. It's government funding being used to heavily enrich the shareholders of the Murena company.
Many European countries have a major issue with Apple preventing them from accessing user data by implementing strong security protections and strong end-to-end encryption. /e/ provides an option within their control which fails to keep up with basic privacy and security patches.
France's government and law enforcement have become extremely hostile towards disk encryption, end-to-end encryption and secure devices. Murena is trying to differentiate themselves from projects providing strong privacy and security while deriding those as being for criminals.
People shouldn't underestimate the harm which is going to be caused by them repeatedly telling people serious privacy and security are for pedophiles, criminals and spies. It's not a one time statement but rather a consistent narrative in years of their posts. This is a problem.
Murena and /e/ have been largely successful in how they've branded themselves despite lack of substance. Many people believe their false marketing. Governments now have an ally accepted within a lot of the privacy community which is saying strong privacy only helps pedophiles.
You are oversimplifying things.
When you read Gaël Duval’s interview, that’s not what he’s saying at all.
He draws a distinction between data protection and data security (with which I disagree) by giving a crude example.
If you have to quote him because he's talking nonsense, at least quote something he actually said.
-
Do you realize that you spend more time posting messages here about the crap other people do than sharing information about GOS ?
😮💨
@mas @GrapheneOS The quote was exact and the meaning is clear. GOS wouldnt be posting so much about this if it wasnt happening. Youre trying to downplay it.
@HybridStaticAnimate @GrapheneOS
Read the article please :
"/e/OS permet à ses utilisateurs d’échapper à la collecte massive de données personnelles qui s’opère dans les smartphones du marché, pas d’aider les pédocriminels à passer sous les radars de la justice. Autrement dit : /e/OS n’est pas un système avec un objectif de sécurité durcie et qui serait utile seulement à des personnes ciblées"
or use another translation if need.

If you wanted to make high-impact fediverse software, I would recommend making a simple daemon that does the following:
- Consumes RSS/Atom feeds
- Posts them as subscribable feeds over activitypub
- So dead easy you can host it yourself as a simple daemon on your server
- Optionally: collects replies as a comment section with a way to render them inline, a-la disqus, with some simple moderation tools. Simplest way to reduce spam would be to make it approve-only to show up on the feed.
You could extend this to allow posting on other servers etc. But, in other words, let more people use the static site generator they already have
computers don't do the thing where they start breaking and then you move the window and it smears all over the screen anymore. it's too bad really

Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project.
Here's the file they don't want you to read: https://web.archive.org/web/20260402155236/https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf
p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.
Marika boostedRE: https://hachyderm.io/@nathandyer/116353464692290660
Red Hat has since removed their war crime-supporting "Compress the kill cycle" marketing page from their website but left other references up, e.g. https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf (also saved on IA now)
A really good summary of what compressing the kill cycle means in practical terms was recently published in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/26/ai-got-the-blame-for-the-iran-school-bombing-the-truth-is-far-more-worrying

Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot

ok so . i have skalibs, execline and mdevd packaged . now , mdevd is actually a lie because i dont have a service for it , so i will have to include that one . but then i think its all good ? after this im pretty sure the gardendevd package should be .. fairly trivial ?
also skarnet are CHUDS i was getting weird errors and realized they wanted me to statically link everything and HELL NO death by one billion shared objects . also what the hell is execline bro be for real . also also maybe if you need kernel headers to build maybe you should tell me in the dependency list . just maybe .
@fiore i think execline is his custom shell thing bc shell is too fucked (understandable)
@SRAZKVT yea that s why i find it cursed 😭
@fiore honestly imo it's one of the least bad parts of skarnet (i agree with a lot of his points, but not how he solves them. also a bunch of his code reads as uselessly obtuse to me)
@SRAZKVT in what way obtuse ?
@fiore unclear abbreviations, single letter variables and severe lack of documentation
@SRAZKVT yeaowwwch
@SRAZKVT i hate that theres no manpages tbh . im gonna have to include the friggin html pages that are in doc/
@fiore honestly yea i hate that. it's readable html without a browser, thank god, but the unix doc system is man. not gnu help (which is why i dislike coreutils' reliance on help), and not a web browser
@SRAZKVT yea . manpages are just so nice 😭
@fiore they're not
but they are what is standard on unix like system, so they're what should be provided
There is hidden softcore furry pornography in MacPaint 2.0.
*Why* is there hidden softcore furry pornography in MacPaint 2.0.
I use #KOReader (https://koreader.rocks/) on my Kindle, and I like it far more than Kindle's native interface.
KOReader is also available on other platforms (e.g., Android, Linux) so you can try it there first!
It can even synchronise reading progress between devices, so I can resume reading on my tablet/phone. :)
(yes, I shill koreader. its awesome)

this would not be possible in snac2 on the default web UI because the client is meant to work without JavaScript enabled (unless someone else adds this functionality as optional addon requiring minimal JavaScript to work)
yeah, but this isn't a real c2s architecture as it still uses a server in between to talk to other servers in order to render HTML unlike a direct web client with JavaScript where the browser does the hard work for you

unfortunately, afaik you don't get push notifs via the masto api, so you either have to poll, or get them via ntfy.sh/telegram/email
Tokodon has some problems here and there, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a snac/mastoAPI problem or just a Tokodon bug.
I'll let you know if I find anything better, lol.
ig snac's interface it is :p

also i’m pretty sure this is KDE… not 100% positive, but that taskbar…
@me depends what you consider ‘modern’ I suppose, and this is almost certainly an enterprise managed deployment, so whatever shipped with whatever generation they are using (and I'd guess they probably aren't using the latest) is largely moot.
Sad it's not something more exciting, and less Microsoft, but for NASA's constraints this is probably reasonable :/
@simonzerafa @domi @videolan not more than it seems they use Windows 10/11 machines onboard and #curl is part of that...
IM FUCKING TIRED OF BOYCOTTING SHIT I ENJOY USING. FUCK ALL THIS. THE NO-AI COMPLEMENT OF MY ACTIVITY FLOW IS TO LIVE ON A FUCKING BALLPOINT PEN AND NOTEBOOK. MAYBE ILL STOCK UP ON THOSE BLACK AND WHITE PATTERNED COMPOSITION NOTEBOOKS SO I CAN LOOK EXTRA CREEPY PSYCHO.
@hyperreal if you look at the list, it includes everyone who even sneezed in direction of LLMs. I don't think I would put curl on the list, for example.
Also, e.g. booklore is very much NOT a "no AI" alternative to calibre.
What I'm saying is, this list can be both overly sensitive in some areas, and inaccurate in others, so the despair is not necessarily warranted.
@viq I mean I breathed in the direction of LLMs before. If I were a software I should be on the list too.
But in all sincerity, I agree. I will not stop using Neovim, Just, or Linux or BSD unless they become severely enshittified or sloppified.
Nevertheless, I respect people who don't want to be tainted by LLMs, so I think it's important to have a list of software to avoid and alternatives to them. The list can always be refined to be more accurate, of course.
I wonder if at some point it will eventually include every single goddamn software project that is still maintained.
@hyperreal an example of trying to figure out where the lines are, in a thread:
https://infosec.exchange/@wikiyu/116256419160886251
Regardless, I'm tired, too. I can definitely relate. guhhh... –_–
I can make some of these changes. To be honest, though, some of these come across like "Eww LLM cooties!"
I've never heard of Nebula before and apparently it's pretty popular. I can look into it as an alternative to Tailscale.
If the reason for not using Just is simply because it documents a way to use it with an MCP server, then, yeah, no, that doesn't square enough with me.
Python, systemd, Vim, Linux, and FreeBSD: Lmao, okay I guess I'll go on a paleo gluten-free vegan diet too.
@hyperreal apparently no, not nebula:
https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/commit/f8587956babc28da162afaba9861c282dc90a90e
@hyperreal not that surprising, seeing how much "AI" is getting pushed into Slack by Salesforce, the owners
