The LCA (linux.conf.au) 2022 call-for-proposals is open!

https://lca2022.linux.org.au/programme/proposals/

It's going to be online again, January 14–16.

Which, again, might be a plus considering that Australia is located on another planet and getting there takes a generation-ship followed by six-to-14 months of jet lag, after which you WILL be food for a wide variety of poisonous local lifeforms. 🐨)

Still, it's a good time, and one of the nicest regional conferences I've been a part of.

Fossil (https://github.com/koyuspace/fossil) is a #GTK #Gemini, #finger and #Gopher client written in #Vala.

It's listed on https://linmobapps.frama.io.

Daily reminder that for many blind people, #Apple is the most useful and productive mobile operating system. It's not that Android is hard to use, but when text selection, especially on the web and in email, is from hard to impossible, and when one cannot spell check what they've written, and typing is either a minor annoyance (braille (input not registering sometimes) onscreen keyboard (very slow usually) external keyboard (yet another device to manage)), you begin to understand why people who don't enjoy customization, or getting the "most" out of a device choose iOS, especially for accessibility, and the AI of image recognition and such. And FOSS phones, like the PinePhone, won't be accessible until Orca/ATSPI can communicate with touch screens, and that won't happen without developers.

So, when you get that urge to say "I told you so you Apple sheeple, you should have been using FOSS!" Try to remember that some people don't have much of a choice.

ok I know I post a lot about the npm dependency mess but this one is truly in a league of its own https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/empty-npm-package-has-over-700-000-downloads-heres-why/

Why has it been years and the GTK file dialog still does not have a textbox to type the file path?

And done.
Not my best but I'm ok happy.

Oh, a few days/weeks/centuries ago, I found out, by trying it out, that Ruby actually *does* support the and/or/not keywords, and not just the Java &&/||/!@#$%^&*()_+| stuff. So that's good. I'm kinda starting to like Ruby a bit because of stuff like that, like, there are multiple ways of doing things, and if one doesn't make sense to you, then there's sometimes another way that might.

Now with working X11 support in 1-bit monochrome.

@bob @polymerwitch The lawsuit is never as important as the bad publicity a corporation gets for exploiting a little person and getting caught doing it.

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program and GNU stands for GNU’s Not UNIX and UNIX stands for Uniplexed Information and Computing Service so the full proper name for GIMP is actually:
