Fun fact: in the last three months, Continuwuity has gone from 300 to 900 publicly-discoverable deployments. 25% of all new Matrix deployments are Continuwuity.

It's only a 10-month old project! That's crazy. It's not what I expected to happen with a side project I picked up at the end of my second year at uni with a bunch of random internet people when I wanted my strange IRC/discord/whatsapp replacement to keep working.

Thanks so much for all the support! At this point, I should be taking a break - but I know that I'll sneak in a few features into the upcoming releases that the wonderful team & community we've built will be making. It's a project we built to be bigger than any one person from the start, because it's a part of so many people.

Got reminded today how awful DRM can be. Huge thanks to @mwl for selling ebooks without it — I’m happy to pay for books, just don’t make me wrestle with Adobe IDs. Thanks for keeping it simple, Michael!

It's Paczki Day!

RE: https://techhub.social/@theoasisbbs/116086098666934794

I've been idly thinking about porting UNIX to the Color Computer 3 or Commodore 64.

There's a lot of PDP-11 assembly in the early releases which would need to be ported to C, though several were later rewritten in C. The assembler was ported to C in V8 and with all the time I've spent reading all its versions, it wouldn't be difficult to adapt it for a different architecture. But all the peripherals would be different, so I'd need to write a bunch of drivers. UNIX V7 or later would probably be easiest, as it had been generalized for porting at that point.

Plasma Setup has had its first release, as part of KDE's Plasma 6.6 release! I'm so excited for people to start using it 🎉 😁

We've just released Continuwuity v0.5.5. Continuwuity is a chat server for communities that speaks Matrix - and as you can probably guess we've exploded in popularity over the past week or two. The amount of people in our community rooms doubled!

This release is mostly about bugfixes, but there are two things to get excited about. The first is that the last blocker for calling in the Element X mobile apps has been squished! If you've set up the prerequisite service, you can now make calls from your phone.

The other is that we've greatly improved the first run experience - registering a first account is easier, and contexual help is presented where possible.

I would heavily encourage reading the changelog, and upgrading. Again, welcome to all of our new community members!

Today is I love Free Software day, a day to thank all the people behind Free Software <3

At // foss.events we like to send a big thank you to all the people who help organise and running FOSS events throughout the year because creating healthy communities is just as important and sustainable as developing software!

On #IloveFS day, "This week in Plasma" brings the news that...

Plasma 6.6 is nearly ready for shipping! Look out for it next Tuesday.

... And videos in Plasma 6.7's SDDM login screens can be previewed in System Settings, KWin dialogs have been overhauled and polished, and much more.

Along the bottom you can see Plasma's classic floating panel.

Instead of paying for discord nitro i decided to spend that amount on two different FOSS devs

kde needs to expand its branding outside of just software. i suggest we start with produce. we need kogurt, kheese, frozen kizza, vegekables, etc. this is how we will get mass user adoption

RE: https://meow.social/@chirpbirb/116014711339837040

We might not have frozen kizza in the store, but we have a lot of fancy accessories and clocks 😍

Hear @bagder , Founder of The cURL project, discuss the rise of AI Slop in open source on @redmonk 's MonkCast. As one of the most vocal #oss maintainers confronting this issue (curl recently ended its bug bounty program due to the surge of low-quality AI submissions), Daniel offers a candid perspective on what AI code generation means for maintainers, contributors, and the future of open source: "it's important to not get stuck on the AI part but on the abuse part." https://redmonk.com/videos/daniel-stenberg-ai-onslop/

ryan-sometimes: As an autistic/adhd person going through the job search process I’ve learned to phrase my autistic/adhd traits as corporate friendly things. Here’s some examples: I have trouble reading between the lines and picking up on implicit information? Actually, I’ve learned the importance of giving and receiving precise, specific instructions in order to avoid time consuming miscommunications. I’m easily bored with only one task? Actually, I have a curious mind and thrive in places with a wide range of tasks as I prefer dynamic environments where I can contribute to many projects. I have trouble with white lies that are merely social niceties? Actually, I prioritize a transparent work environment where we can tackle issues head-on. This way I don’t have to lie, but rather just spin my truth in a way that’s palatable to them.

Anyone wants to run a web forum with me?

I'm thinking of somewhere where we could talk about our projects, get inspired by others' work and generally keep eachother sane.

It's probably a bad idea but...

Are you using #Codeberg to host your favorite AI-assisted and otherwise vibecoded project because your desire for dopamine has utterly destroyed your willingness to learn new things? Do you neither care about how you're "flooding the room" of the free software ecosystem nor about the greater societal implications, insisting that "it is what it is"?

Check out #GitHub, the world's most popular AI-first platform! Copilot, annoying maintainers with slop, you'll fit just right in!

@homelab Does anyone know of a self-hostable solution for getting all-in-one webmail/calendar/contacts frontend for Stalwart? I looked at SoGo, but that seems to have its own calendar and contacts. What I want, is a web frontend for imap/smtp/sieve/caldav/carddav, so that all data stays in Stalwart.

Still, Codeberg is awesome :))
