KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

will cut off independent developers to if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorgF-Droid and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

keepandroidopen.org/

Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.

KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.

keepandroidopen.org/open-lette

The logo of the "Keep Android Open" campaign is an Android robot dressed as Darth Vader. Across the top it says "I AM ALTERING THE DEAL"  in all caps, and below the robot it says "Pray I don't alter it further".

This is a reference to how Android acquired a massive catalog of apps be making access open to the platform back in the day, and Google assuring it would remain open, as opposed to the iOS platform which was (and still is) very restricted.

And, of course, Star Wars.

Perceptions of mobile basestation simulators be like.

US: The StingRay is an extremely sophisticated and dangerous spying system used by the FBI, conducting mass surveillance on citizens!
China: Ah yes, all scammers have one at the back of their van for SMS spamming and 2FA code sniffing to steal credit cards since the 2010s. Every Shenzhen market vendor with a laptop and a radio front-end can put together their own rig for sales.

@ignaloidas@not.acu.ltIgnas Kiela BTW, it's well-documented in China that anti-drone jammers are used by farmers for sabotaging competitors or personal revenges. So yes, civilian electronics warfare is a thing here. Some people claim China has the most sophisticated drone EW capabilities in the battlefield for this reason (since even mass-produced civilian systems have some countermeasures for immunity). I believe it's a joke, but considering how much improvised civilian equipment is used in the Russia-Ukraine war, it probably has an element of truth.

RE: social.edu.nl/@Bibliothecaris/

Over the moon that we (finally) did this!

🎉 We're the first department at the @universityofgroningen to adopt , and I hope others will follow.

Next step: Exploring how we can embed PeerTube videos into our university's CMS.

code and tests aren't the moat. they never were. no need for agents to copy a project. forking was always an option. the moat of an oss project is its community, its governance, and its ecosystem connections. agents will never be able to replicate that. don't hide. let's build in the open, together

RP) 유튜브 프리미엄 라이트는 프리미엄에서 뮤직만 빠진 게 아니라서 그렇습니다 . 안내처럼 "대부분"의 영상에서 광고가 안 나오는 거지. 일부 영상에서는 광고가 나오는 이상한 형태입니다. 또 여기 이미지에서 언급되지 않지만, 검색이나 탐색을 할 때는 광고가 계속 표시될 수 있다고도 안내를 하더군요. support.google.com/youtube/answ...

Do I have to stop using emdashes because people see emdashes as a sign of AI slop now? (100% of things I write are LLM and AI slop free. I just use emdashes because I think they look nice...)

one of my favorite things on fedi is seeing an enormous infodump that is almost totally incomprehensible to me, where someone is just pouring out their heart about a topic that they love, in some gigantic thread of intense nerdery. sometimes I see people post self-consciously as if they feel like they shouldn't be filling up people's timelines with their special interest but I just want to say as a blanket statement, go for it. even if I can't quite understand the facts, the energy is sublime

Dear type community, please, I'm curious, how would you approach spacing in a typeface as inconsistent as Plasmid? I was toying with the idea of Letterspacer but I would like to do this properly. Unfortunately I have pretty much zero glyph I can use as a basis haha, except a few linked metrics like m and n. Should I still try to start from H and O? For now I have pretty much everything set to 20 each side but I sense it's not the right way! Thanks so much :)

Base Latin alphabet of Plasmid in Fill and Stroke styles. The shapes are very inconsistent, the typeface looks like cells merging
