Man, looking at the election results in East Germany I feel both angry and depressed.
I fear that Germany will become a fascist state again.
The great Sokee put it really well a few years back:

Seems like resistance and staying true to humans rights is the only solution for now.

@dusnm @ariadne @BrodieOnLinux I think company backing of Linux is great, but lets remember the companies are backing Linux because they have to and because it makes them money very much despite GPLv2. If a viable MIT licensed alternative shows up to be used in place of Linux, companies will dump Linux in a heartbeat (which I find very unfortunate, copyleft ftw).

@FineFindus don't mind the hijacking :) We haven't worked on GNOME Disks tbh. udisks-rs would need packaging from scratch, but that is easily doable. It hasn't been on my agenda yet, but seems straightforward enough. I take it gnome-disks needs a specific commit of udisks-rs right now ?

@decathorpe also GPG is provided by them in the backend and not that freely configurable. I ended up choosing riseup for Debian stuff and hope to migrate my private stuff to posteo soon™

@decathorpe I had to package four new crates so far: librsvg-rebind(-sys), gufo-common and gufo-exif. I hope this is it for now :)

So the latest GTK-rs release (0.9) is now available in #Debian unstable along with gstreamer-rs 0.23.
We also updated system-deps from 6.x to 7.x
Big thanks to jbicha who did most of the work for this transition. Most gtk-rs apps are already updated; though some are still being worked on.

@overflo 1 banger

On my way to a well-deserved vacation to Prague via train

turns out it does, just not the overlay part

man I wish xeyes would work with sway

@gagath unstable do be like that. I have to carry documents to a stable machine just to print :/

📝 qmk available in unstable

I am proud to annouce that the Gstreamer GTK4 plugin is now available in #Debian. This will allow to directly offload the load of video decoding to hardward via dmabuf, thus greatly reducing CPU load.

Suit case successfully transported with a Nextbike. Was a bit scary since it was really heavy and even slipped once, but it went well.

@braid which part ?

@IchMeine @jon maybe state-owned DB got a bit to comfy, yeah. But privatization of infrastructure is never a good idea, ever. Critical infrastructure like railway and water must not make profit in the first place imo. Sure it needs constant investments, but all people profit from it, too. Yet another thing the Kohl administration messed up

Hallo #Debian

ich möchte gerne eine lokale Debian User Group (DUG) für das #RheinMain Gebiet starten.

Ich such noch Menschen, die mich dabei unterstützen wollen. Mehr Infos:

@jon I'm really angry at times when I think how the rail system was before DB got privatized. Overall it's good, but not investing anything relevant in the system for the last 16 years did not help.
I really hope it gets better.
Brenner-Basistunnel is still not even in the planning phase, either.

I'm glad to annouce Loupe 46.2 and snapshot 46.3 are now available in unstable.
This was blocked by a massive update of crates I worked on the past two months. #Rust #Debian #GNOME
