Oh, finally, some foss-lightbulb-firmware coming up:

https://blog.fosketts.net/2020/05/29/liberate-wi-fi-smart-bulbs-and-switches-with-tasmota/

Generally speaking I consider "smart lightbulbs" the most pointless thing ever, but hey, who am I to tell people that running a HA-K8s cluster in a datacenter just to turn your lights on and off might costs more energy than you safe when you turn off the LEDs on the go, if you forgot to turn them off.

Today, we are pleased to announce the release of MauiKit and Maui Apps 1.1.1!.

Check the blog entry for more information: https://nxos.org/maui/mauikit-and-maui-apps-1-1-1/.

Why @gnuradio@twitter.com switched from #Slack to @matrixdotorg@twitter.com:

* Slack is expensive, and holds data ransom;
* Alternatives exist: @RiotChat@twitter.com is continuously improving;
* An open standard for interoperability was considered important, if not essential.

@ubuntustudio, the Linux distribution "for creative humans", will move to KDE's Plasma desktop by default for future releases. Plasma's "better tools for graphics artists and photographers" and lightness make it the ideal desktop for Ubuntu Studio's users.

The KDE community looks forward to working closely with Ubuntu Studio in delivering the best desktop experience to their users.

I started working on cross-signing in @matrix with the initial spec proposal submitted in September 2018. Over a year and a half later, it's nearly ready to go live in Riot.im. We had a video-conferenced key-signing party today at work, which involved us yelling emoji over each other. It's nice to have people stress-testing something that you've worked on for so long, and have it hold up.

ATTENTION TESTERS! We're in the final phase of E2EE-by-default in Riot 1.6 & just cut our 2nd release candidate!
