We need a free/libre fork of #Android for the public commons. Google cannot be trusted.

Maybe that could be #lineageos or #Graphene, but given that they build on top of Android rather than driving the core development, I'm not certain they would be enough as it stands.

@josemurilo Good points :)

@volkris the issue with your comment is that the #Fediverse comes from a long history, and it embodies this history, which is where the value comes from.

Yes, it comes from meany sub cultures, these are better described as communities rather than users. Hope that makes sense.

Keeping mess is grassroots cultural, allowing it to be messy is neoliberal #mainstreaming?

I agree with your point about the devs and funding from #NGI and #NLnet an on rolling mess.

2025.03.1 release of is ready! It has significant number of improvements and bug fixes, including Alezia's redesigned Places app including portals. Thanks to HifiExperiments and foundation grant this release has improved TAA anitaliasing, third person camera clipping and large refactor of the codebase, making future improvements easier.

#NLnet #EU #NGI #NGIzero – Will We Get It Right This Time? hamishcampbell.com/nlnet-eu-ng let’s ask again: Has #NLnet and the #EU stepped up this time? Are we funding the future, or are we just shuffling papers while the #deathcult eats our humanistic heritage and the last remains of the #openweb?

the good folks over at #NGI seem to be set on IPFS a solution to all trust-less p2p data distribution problems. However I’ll try and convince them that alternative solutions are probably healthy to try out.

#NLnet is definitely not dead-set on IPFS.

> I just want the simple parts (connecting and exchange) to be layered separately from the routing parts. IPFS does actually do a lot of layering. I don’t follow hypercore and other stuff very much, but I don’t recall seeing much layering.

NixOS Discourse · Should IPFS be used as a source for fetchurl in Nixpkgs?Yes, you can fetch directly from SWH, but then it isn’t clear how to do so as a substitutor without more changes to nix. Conversely, you can use the IPFS gateway without having IPFS installed — that has improved since we did the Nix IFPS work so we could add support for that. SWH is supposed to be an archive of last resort to potentially tons of people flooding their API with similar requests just waste’s the non-profit’s bandwidth. IPFS however can act as a CDN.

i just released v1.0 of libopaque: github.com/stef/libopaque/rele

7 years after the initial commit. being honored to be a target by the seminal "partitioning oracles" paper (and resisting the attack, through defense-in-depth, and fixing the root cause before publication of the paper), and five years after the IRTF/CFRG started an RFC datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft

going further than any of the others by providing bindings for 10 languages & a threshold variant. & in debian

@forgefed Congrats! The MoU for our #NLnet grant will be signed in the next days, too. We'll list our tasks then as well. To give a little spoiler: a lot of documentation, tools – and graphical visualization of our download statistics (overall as well as per-app) will be part of it…
