Fedora Flatpaks is fun!

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2373009#c5

Their Fractal flatpak (and RPM) is broken because they're using the deprecated rubygem-sass compiler. Instead of using the reference implementation, Dart SASS, they instead used grass. Why, you ask? because the Dart SASS website has a 'Free Palestine' bit on it, and they claimed that this is antisemitism (lol)

Unfortunately, the blatant antisemitism throughout the SASS language site does not exactly endear me to the language as a whole, and certainly not their implementation thereof. grass seems to be independent of that, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Here's a photo of 1312, which was originally blue, trying out a bit of yellow before its full transition.

i think youtube should take their role as part of the yt-dlp supply chain more seriously and not introduce breaking changes that force patching of yt-dlp

My fav moments @ #indiafoss2025, incl. pre/post-conf:

- A poor @contrapunctus unable to handle the scantiest of spice in an Andhra-style Biriyani + Veg Kohlapuri

- Me and @disaster2life making a whole lot of (consented) "CoC violation" jokes

- Also me and @disaster2life criticising Namma Metro and bashing about the awful liveries by BMTC for their EV buses

- Me, @contrapunctus, @disaster2life and @nihalxkumar heading over to Church Street, only to regret it in minutes

Almost all the servers on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse are run by unpaid grassroots volunteers that pay their server's bills out of their own pockets.

They don't sell your data or carry advertising, and they don't get any share of the donations given to the Mastodon etc software developers.

Please consider donating to your server admin, they usually have donation links on your server website's "About" page. You can also ask your admin directly about how to donate.

My favorite #IndiaFOSS 2025 moments -

Third place - singing a bit of “Trial By Jury” to a bewildered @nlbrt before the start of the #Prav meeting, after he remarked that the seats looked like a court of law. (Likewise, singing a bit of “Gute Nacht” from “Winterreise” for Urbec later.)

Second place - going to the Open Knowledge Initiative table and showing them my libre data work, including my Wikimedia Commons uploads, so as to request full time work that involves improving the commons. They gave me a contact…and a spiral notebook! I thanked them and declined it because I don’t write on paper at all, but they insisted, so I gave it to @disaster2life who is also an open data contributor, and who I know to write on paper.

First place - making a joke which caused @libreinator to roll around on the ground in laughter for a proper minute.

Hace unas semanas recibimos en las oficinas de gcoop a la Comunidad de #Debian

lmao, JESSE SINGAL WROTE THAT ECONOMIST ARTICLE misrepresenting "sometimes trans/trans-adjacent kids change how they feel about binary/non-binary id" as "20% of kids detransition so we'd better make sure none of them ever get any treatment"

they published it without an author so you wouldn't know but now we know, lmao

I'm a computer programmer with a Fediverse account, and I am this many years old.

Please consider boosting for a more representative sample.
