@action_jay everything that isn't a fully #OpenSource'd #OpenStandard with #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider support.

That's why @delta (#PGP/MIME) & @monocles / @gajim (#XMPP+#OMEMO) are superior to @signalapp , because that can be easily cracked down on due to #CloudAct, whereas truly #decentralized systems have #SelfCustody so they can't be taken down effectively.

  • Bonus points if they support @torproject / #Tor, cuz that makes it harder for "state-sponsored" (or rather state-endorsed/governmental attackers) to block or sabotage it (#OnionServices are harder to take down!)

(Linux news in previous posts)

FOSS NEWS

Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:
androidauthority.com/google-no
(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))

Mozilla shuts down the Orbit AI add-on for Firefox, replicates its functionality with built-in features:
omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/06/orbit-
(Yay, more AI crap to the browser... More work for LibreWolf devs to remove all that crap...)

Linux Foundation launches FAIR package manager for WordPress, with API replacement and decentralized package management:

LibreOffice 25.8 beta available with performance improvements, new functions for Calc, command to insert a paragraph break before tables in Writer, support for importing encrypted hybrid PDFs, etc.:

FreeBSD 14.3 released with backported improvements from 15, ZFS support updated against OpenZFS 2.2.7, driver and package updates:
phoronix.com/news/FreeBSD-14.3

Audacity 3.7.4 released with improved effect preview, studio fade out and waveform rendering, other bug fixes:
9to5linux.com/audacity-3-7-4-i

Gitea 1.24 released with enforced Git configs, option for admins to enforce 2FA for their users, anonymous access to private and unlisted repositories, revamped file tree and Material icons, etc.:
alternativeto.net/news/2025/6/

Danish government ditches Microsoft products for FOSS alternatives like Linux and LibreOffice:

Android Authority · AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developersGoogle has confirmed it isn't discontinuing AOSP, but it's making a change that makes it harder for devs to build Android for Pixel phones.

Italian filmmaker @_elena is on a mission to bring more people into the fediverse. Today she dropped a brief explainer video for folks who aren’t familiar with it:

news.elenarossini.com/fedivers

Because I’m deeply embedded here, I’m not a great judge. But it feels pretty approachable for new folks. Just enough to shake hands.

It’s lovely to see folks building things to help the fedi grow.

@voxel like all #PoW #Cryptocurrency, #Monero too does #WastefulComputing.

  • Unlike many others it automatically adapts #Difficulty based off total #hashrate as it enshures a constant block reward of 0,6 XMR + Tx Fees per block at a constant block time of 2mins per block.

That being said Monero was explicitly designed to not be #ASIC-able in a cost-efficient manner and be #GPU-unfriendly, so it's more #decentralized and doesn't cause harm by demanding custom hardware that can't be repurposed that causes 100% avoidable #eWaste!

  • IOW: I's the 'least worst' option given it's PoW doesn't incentive or reward capital holders (beyond the ability to host and have power to mine)…
