I wish all the #FreeSoftware (#OpenSource) contributors out there a good and healthy holiday season. Thank you for your work for #SofwareFreedom in 2020.
You should visit a dark site if you have the opportunity:
The EU border police Frontex is under fire for its involvement in human rights violations at the EU’s borders. Now, they want to silence those exposing their wrongdoing.
Frontex is taking us to court.

Saying "no" to unethical tasks
Today, I went crazy and built a command-line tool and shell script library for creating interpolated number sequences. This allows to create css-ish animations with easing functions in the terminal with plain POSIX-compatible shell scripts.
Unfortunately, terminalizer is not working under Fedora, which forced me to screen capture the terminal output with Peek. Not as fancy as usually :D
The tool is named shease 🧀 as in shell easing functions.
Der verstärkte Einsatz von Freier Software ist ein zentraler Baustein für mehr Digitale Souveränität.
Gemeinsam mit einem starken Bündnis aus Verwaltung, Politik, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft fordern wir die Schaffung eines Code Repository mit Freier Software für die öffentliche Hand.

Finally a homepage for my browser that makes sense. I now automatically render my #orgmode agenda every 20 minutes into an HTML page, that is used as the startup- and newtab page in the browser.

I've now heard plenty of times that #Wayland compositors are less power efficient than #Xorg because they do compositing, which is blatantly wrong. My Wayland setup uses less energy than my Xorg setup did WITHOUT compositing. This is not that surprising when you take a look at how the whole thing works. (I have no comparable values for window managers that have built in compositing but I imagine Wayland compositors to still perform better here)
