Dites, vous connaissez des artistes/artisan•es qui font des jolis suncatchers à coller sur la fenêtre ?

J'ai envie d'en mettre dans mon salon pour avoir de jolis arc-en-ciels tout l'hiver 🌈✨️

Our democratic public sphere needs open networks!

Together with @offene_netzwerke we demand that public money be invested into Free Software and in open, decentralised infrastructures.

Read our demands (en/de/fr), published this week:

yoooo blender on MNT Reform with the integrated GPU (thanks mesa/freedreno!)

i, for one, welcome the valve VR headset powered by qualcomm chipset + arm64 x86 emulation (~synergies~)

Cat's out of the bag:
FEX, an emulator I've been working on these past 4 years, is going to be part of the Steam Frame to bring x86 Windows games to an ARM Linux VR headset! 😊

Really happy to have been part of the journey and of the team that got FEX to where it is today. Can't wait for the release and community reception!

Help your (poor) neighbours through a cooperative to get cheap and clean electricity with a microgrid. Spain has several of those: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/14/were-proud-to-be-pioneers-inside-spains-community-energy-revolution

🗞️ "In this moment of crisis, #Europe should not cripple its best weapon against #US tech dominance, but enforce its laws, defend its sovereignty, create the space for innovation, and prove that democracy can tame Silicon Valley."

The current cycles times for the nixpkgs staging workflow is really way too long 😐 We're at a point where our staging cycle is getting longer than the release cycle of some core packages. Which is problematic.

Not sure what the solution here is. Lots of technical debt.

If you’re unaware, the EU has engaged in mass surveillance in the Global South far ahead of attempts to ram #ChatControl through the EU legal system.

Done underhandedly through Frontex, the EU handed data-extraction tools capable of retrieving call logs, photos, GPS locations and WhatsApp messages from any phone to West African nations, helping transfer migration data from host countries to the EU.

I'm taking a break from Loops to fix some recent federation issues in @pixelfed

While I'm at it, I'm also fixing some old bugs like proper cache invalidation in Notifications, improved support for libvips and other file formats, and more!

Shoutout to @shlee for shipping a ton of bug fixes too, we make a great team ❤️

Stay tuned, we'll be tagging a new release this weekend with a ton of federation + UI/UX fixes

Last year, my partner and I hired a local artist to make us a Christmas card featuring us and our dog.

We want to do the same again.

Mastodaoine - do you know of any Irish artists who do this kind of thing?

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand. [Edit: the cemetery is US government controlled, and the US forced its own employees to remove the memorial plaques. The Dutch government had no opportunity to oppose the decision.]

Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration of the liberation of Paris.

The 761st Tank Battalion was an all Black tank unit that served with distinction as part of Pattons 3rd army. They killed a lot of nazis, and liberated over 30 French towns, and much of the Netherlands.

If you saw their Black Panther logo? It was all over for you. Black Panther beats German Panzer.

These elite Black soldiers racked up victories.

But they weren't immortal, and they didn't have superior weapons to either the Germans or white American soldiers. They were just brave. Many Black soldiers died freeing Europe from the nazis.

Europeans were grateful.

Racist Americans? Not so much.
