#UnpopularOpinion / #HotTake: I think it's the right call for @gnome to "Stop being a mad scientist" and simply offload a lot of [quite security-critical] stuff onto #SystemD.

• After all both are being bankrolled mostly by the big 3 #Linux distros and neither #RedHat nor #Suse nor #Canonical are willing to spend money on essentially redundant work if they can avoid it...

Tho @BrodieOnLinux is wrong re: "Linux is #Unix" because technically #macOS (if we take in any #POSIX-esque system into account)!

• That being said, it does necessitate extra work by #BSD|s to run #Gnome.

Well, it’s been a while since I made this song in January. It didn’t catch the attention of the #Ubuntu people unfortunately.

However, I have been busy reworking this song as I thought it was a bit lackluster. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

Please @ubuntu, let me know what you think as well!

Ubuntu 25.10 is adding rust-hwlib, a new Rust library, to its default installations. Developed by Canonical, this library will help users check hardware certification status and retrieve machine information, initially for x86-64 systems. Plans are to backport it to earlier Ubuntu versions. #Ubuntu2510 #RustLibrary #Canonical

A toxic organization is always hostile to outsiders, but manages to mask its hostility in various ways:
Creating the illusion that the people in it, and the way it works is somehow special, that the reason it is not welcoming is not because it is hostile, but because it's members are so special, because only a selected few are fit to work there, otherwise it will fail it's special tasks.

This is pretty common across the #it business, look for red flags, such as long interview process with weird questions and tasks, (many people discussed #canonical in this respect), or fixation on the part of the interviewers on specific traits which are not really the focus of the job at hand (e.g. favorite text editor).

@d @heiseonline doof nur wenn #Cinnamon nicht #barrierefrei gem. EU2019/882 bzw. BFSG ist, was ein de-facto #Verkaufsverbot von #Vorinstallationen von @linuxmint bedeutet.

• Soweit scheint @kde jedenfalls #Compliance zu haben auch wenn der dazugehörige #KDE e.V. noch dies verbriefen muss. Dann wäre zumindest #Kububtu u.ä. Distros okay. (Zur #Barrierefreiheit von #Gnome kann ich nix sagen, egal ob @ubuntu oder @tails_live / @tails / #Tails, wobei ich hoffe dass #Canonical & @torproject das angehen.

#OpenSouthCode is about to start in the stunning La Térmica in the beautiful city of Málaga.

Also #Ubucon Europe is co-located at the same venue.

Can't wait for the talks, the people and the open source vibes!

I'll be speaking about "Your very first contribution to open source" at 17.30 local time.

In case you miss this year's event, talks are recorded. And don't forget to book your trip for next year!

Thanks to my employer #Canonical who made it possible for me to attend.

Ubuntu diskutiert über Firmware-Split

@rl_dane I wished @frameworkcomputer would do this too, because #Lenovo has #enshittified the #ThinkPad brand so hard and refused to support me with a #P15v (alongside #Canonical #Intel & #Fibocom with regards to getting the #850GL / #XMM7360-based #WWAN working on this €3,5k+ "#UbuntuCertified" System) that I'm gonna go with a #Framework once my #X230Tablet dies.

I’m sure this means #Canonical, #RedHat and #Gnome have fixed all #Wayland issues that make this desktop totally unusable for blind people. Right? Right?? #a11y

[EDIT] shortcuts and navigation should be OK, but Orca still can’t handle pointer coordinates — thanks @GTK for clarifying [/EDIT]

Como era de esperar, los haters de #Wayland han entrado en cólera tras el anuncio de #Canonical y #Ubuntu, cuando la realidad es que el soporte de #Xorg está abandonado en #GNOME desde hace años y la sesión sobre ese servidor funciona mal, con una experiencia visual horrible sobre #Intel y #Radeon.

Lo peor es que me estoy encontrando con las mismas mierdas que se vertieron contra #systemd en su día, acusando a Wayland de ser un espía y culpando a #RedHat de delitos legales sin pruebas,

@Natanox i kept miss-identifying the "proper" components on bug-/issue-/feature trackers (#github / #bugzilla / #Canonical #Ubuntu #launchpad), so i've switched to hash-tagging my fave projects on #SocialMedia, instead.

Instead of getting "my issue" rejected or closed as "irrelevant", because i failed to ID&target the correct COMPONENT, i just toot about it on the #Fediverse, let #Karma sort it out! 😅

I consider this a win-win "shituation"! 🤣

Ubuntu 25.10 entfernt X11-Session bei GNOME

#Kubuntu has switched to a new installer, and now can‘t handle encrypted LVM anymore. This is known for over a year now, but apparently only a low priority to fix. I guess this means moving on to another #Linux distribution, that allows more than the most basic disk configurations. #Ubuntu #Canonical

Ubuntu Devs Debate Splitting Linux Firmware to Reduce Size

Ubuntu developers are discussing whether to split the large linux-firmware package into smaller vendor-specific packages to reduce its size.

#Canonical is finally taking Bazaar out the back and putting a bullet in its head, or "Phasing out" as they put it on #Ubuntu Discourse. :) Sad times. I used to prefer bzr to git, but haven't used it for years now. :( discourse.ubuntu.com/t/phasing-ou...
