Exciting news, folks! We've got 7 new updates in the Linux-libre world. Say hello to versions 6.4.11-gnu, 6.1.46-gnu, 5.15.127-gnu, 5.10.191-gnu1, 5.4.254-gnu1, 4.19.292-gnu1, and 4.14.323-gnu1. Let's continue to champion our computing freedom with these fresh releases! Updates should become visible in your package manager over the next 24 hours. #FreeSoftware#GNU#LinuxLibre
While F-Droid appears to be "just" an alternative #OpenSource#AppStore for #Android, it is actually the apex of a lifestyle movement that's choosing to use Android only with #FreeSoftware and without #Google or advertising-related #surveillance. Realising that makes many of its features - and shortcomings - easier to understand. I was the main interviewer in the discussion this week on #FLOSS Weekly with core @fdroidorg developer @eighthave and it was a good show.
I just moved here from @aperezdc@mastodon.social looking for a cozier instance, which I should have done earlier... So let's make this an #introduction post.
People call me Adrian, and I'm living in Finland, which is quite different from the South of Europe where I've been born. I've been into #FreeSoftware since 1998, my first Linux install was SuSE 5.3 (Boxed! With dead tree manuals!) and life hasn't been the same since. These days I mostly work on @WPEWebKit and a bit on @WebKitGTK for @igalia, and maintain their Buildroot packaging.
On the #RetroComputing front, I used to have a Sony HB-75P #MSX but it ended up being discarded (long story) and after two decades without one I finally decided to get a Panasonic FS-A1WSX MSX2+ which has given me plenty of warm fuzzy feelings. I also enjoy doing small pixel art thingies like my doge avatar, mostly with #Aseprite, but it takes me a lot of time and I am not very good at it. Some day I hope to have an #Amiga 1200 as well.
