Interested in how Debian LTS works and what’s ahead?

The recorded BoF session from #DebConf25 is now online!

The session had engaging discussions on having point-update “releases” for LTS with Debusine, packaging security updates for firmware-nonfree, ca-certificates, and work towards compliance with new regulations like the #CRA.

Watch the recording here: https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2025/DebConf25/debconf25-670-debian-lts-bof.av1.webm

Yes, #Fedilab has some differences between its Google Play version and its #FDroid version.
There are mostly due to restrictions from Google.

In the Google app we had to remove:

- Donation links
- Register an account on Mastodon (as they don't want to understand that the app doesn't collect emails).
- Filter some search results with #Peertube to exclude "YouTube Downloader" videos

To Google users, keep in mind you can easily switch to FDroid, we would be happy to help if you have questions

This was a rather opportunistic capture with a Leica M240 camera, a 35mm lens, and a tabletop tripod on a windowsill, just before a late afternoon thunderstorm.

The light always does most of the work in photography. Sometimes it works especially hard.

this one weird trick to be one of the cool adults:

Tried to make a paella, for the first time*. It turned out so bad that my family didn't even try to soften the blow and told me it was inedible. Many things went wrong, but the main problem is that I never had a paella made by someone who knows how, so I only have a theoretical idea of what it's supposed to feel like.

*) Technically, I tried once before, but so long ago that I'm not even sure I did :-)

Poopin' Putin.

Putin's bodyguards collect his poop when he travels abroad and carry it back to Russia. Ex-BBC journalist Farida Rustamova backed up their claims, saying a source told her that this has been practised since Putin first assumed power in...

@r_alb @jstatepost Privacy is the right to decide what you want to share and what you want to keep to yourself.

(And for anyone who thinks “yeah, duh!”, I had to utter that exact sentence at a round-table meeting with “invited privacy experts” and the UN special rapporteur on the right to privacy because they were bikeshedding the definition.)

Actually, I have an awful lot to hide.

Not because I am a criminal or a tax-evading billionaire, but because I'm a human being.

I am more than just a data mine. I refuse to be reduced to a source of digital commodities. I refuse to be valued at anyone's ad-revenue.

I have a right to decide what others should know about me. And I have a right to know what they will do with what they know.

That's why I have a lot to hide. Not because I must, but because I want to.

In northern Gaza, occupation aircraft dropped leaflets urging residents to evacuate the Jabalia area, in preparation for its complete destruction. Since last night, the area has been subjected to heavy shelling, resulting in a number of casualties.

Unfortunately, this occupation, its allies, and its suffocating policies are succeeding. Why must we always be given a glimpse of hope, something that eases our pain, only to have it ripped away from us after we’ve struggled so hard to reach it? It is a truly killing feeling one more method of slow death they inflict upon us.
The only small consolation is that the donations will be returned to you. Thank you for standing with us. I will try to find another way.

The whole world, with all its technologies, stands helping this occupation.

Even before this, I suffered from account closures and targeted campaigns against me all meant to silence our voices. Are we truly that frightening? We have no weapons, no ammunition; all we have are our words, our voices refusing to bow to their crimes, and I only write what I live through. Is it written upon us that even our right to speak be stripped away that we must die muted, voiceless, and unheard?

This? Oh, it’s just GoFundMe preventing people who are being starved by Israel in Gaza from raising money to buy food to live.

And this morning, we got that email… I don’t know what to do anymore, nor how we will survive what’s coming without any source of income. It feels as if there’s a campaign against us, determined to shut every single door in our faces.
Everyone who donated will have their contributions returned… all their kindness, all their attempts to stand with us undone in a single blow.

I just received news that crushed me on top of everything I’m already enduring. An email was sent to my cousin
the one who manages our campaign abroad, since we Palestinians from Gaza are not allowed to create accounts or links ourselves. He set it up for us, but unfortunately, we have received only a small amount of donations so far.
