The year is 2025

There are five browser cores:

- youtube-dl, which ended up implementing a full-fledged browser in python to keep successfully downloading videos

Today in ransomware, Slack increases pricing by $195k with a week's notice for a non-profit that teaches teenagers how to code.

A few years ago, when Slack transitioned us from their free nonprofit plan to a $5,000/year arrangement, we happily paid. It was reasonable, and we valued the service they provided to our community.

However, two days ago, Slack reached out to us and said that if we don’t agree to pay an extra $50k this week and $200k a year, they’ll deactivate our Slack workspace and delete all of our message history.

One could argue that Slack is free to stop providing us the nonprofit offer at any time, but in my opinion, a six month grace period is the bare minimum for a massive hike like this, if not more. Essentially, Salesforce (a $230 billion company) is strong-arming a small nonprofit for teens, by providing less than a week to pony up a pretty massive sum of money, or risk cutting off all our communications. That’s absurd.

So
who hates those Google log-in pop-ups that are seemingly everywhere now? Wanna make them go away?

1. Get uBlock Origin (which you should have already been using):
https://ublockorigin.com/

2. Open the plugin and click the settings button.

3. Click on the “my filters” tab and paste this into the input:
||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p

That’s it! Worked flawlessly for me.

Screenshot of a pop-up window with the title “sign in with google” followed by other information and a button with the label “continue.” Two screenshots of the ublock origin interface. The first one shows where the settings button is. The second shows where the filters input is on the view behind the tab with the label “my filters.”

#fossy2025 was so much fun! Cant wait for next year 😁

@tuckerm @craftyguy pixel 3a and a shift 6mq!

Just landed in Portland. #fossy 😎

I just released honeybee 0.2.0! Honeybee is a simple daemon for making calls via xmpp. For the changelog, see the git commit: https://git.sr.ht/~anjan/honeybee/commit/9f3dfdb4fac505161690aa7cddd0853ac00a3f23

It should be available in Alpine testing repos soon.

You always wanted to contribute to but didn't know where to start?

Take a nice look at https://postmarketos.org/contribute/ and pick something up. Your help is really appreciated! :3

(My personal favorite is the testing team, which is a easy way for newcomers to contribute something really meaningful & important: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Testing_Team)

@edward I'll check it out. Thanks!

@weirdtreething hey, I have a r36s and I was planning on making a port for it. Good thing I saw this! đŸ„č I would much rather use pmOS than some random image from the internet. Is there a merge request for the r36s port? I can't seem to find anything about the r36s on pmOS wiki.

@Luigi311 for sxmo, we have a python script to convert from vcf to the sxmo contacts format https://git.sr.ht/~anjan/sxmo-userscripts/tree/master/item/scripts/vcf2tsv.py

@pabloyoyoista @postmarketOS I look forward to working with you!

I just booked my flight for #fossdem2025: https://fosdem.org/2025/

@pocketvj Neat idea! However, I want to keep peanutbutter simple which is why it doesnt use pam. Moreover, I would just turn my phone off in these cases. postmarketOS' full disk encryption is great!

Peanutbutter 0.4 is out. The lock screen now has a clock and icons!

It should be available on alpine edge soon.

Also, I was happy to see posters of groups organizing against Trump in Seattle. Liberals are incapable of actually defending marginalized people. The future looks bleak regardless of where you live. Please get organized with a local leftist group that speaks to you.

I had so much fun at #seagl2024! I got to talk to so many people about postmarketOS. Washington university is so beautiful.

@craftyguy @aren I would join this too!
