The European Citizens' Initiative "Stop Killing The Internet: No Digital ID & No Age Verification" is in the signature phase. If you are a EU citizen, make sure to give it a look :

It's still very young (collection only started 2 days ago), so ZERO countries have reached the necessary threshold.

Yet.

#Luanti removed from Google Play due to baseless AI copyright notice

https://blog.luanti.org/2026/08/27/luanti-dmca-tracer-ai/

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource

Luanti è stato rimosso da Google Play a causa di un avviso di violazione del copyright sull'intelligenza artificiale privo di fondamento

L'app Android di #Luanti non è attualmente disponibile sul Play Store a causa di una notifica DMCA infondata presentata per conto di Microsoft da Tracer.AI, la quale sostiene che Luanti violi il copyright di Minecraft. L'app Luanti non contiene alcun codice o risorsa proprietaria, né di Minecraft né di altre piattaforme.

We're excited to announce an investment of over 500K Euro by @sovtechfund@mastodon.social into Flatpak!

The focus of the project is on closing gaps in Flatpak’s sandboxing story: new portals for audio, networking, VPNs, and spell checking, as well as infrastructure work on entitlements and intents. We have a great team of community members on board, who will be working on this through the end of 2027.

⚠️ Merchants of Insecurity

｢ Omarchy doesn't treat security as important. They do role-play taking security seriously but their development practices and the ease with which they speedrun decades of security issues and invent new ones tell us much more about the security of Omarchy than Security Team announcements ｣

We have a partial port of GrapheneOS to the Pixel 11 series after a week of work on it. We're unable to complete the port due to lack of support for ARM hardware memory tagging in software, firmware and near certainly hardware. It appears Google cut an important security feature to save money.

We strongly recommend against buying Pixel 11 devices. Pixel 8, 9 and 10 have much better overall security for GrapheneOS. Pixel 10 is cheaper with similar hardware and MTE. Pixel 11's Titan M3 should improve BFU security for users without a strong passphrase, but losing MTE craters AFU security.

Debian's general-resolution vote on LLMs has landed: 'Responsible Use of Generative AI' wins. Debian neither endorses nor prohibits such tools; contributors must still review and test any AI-assisted output before it ships, and responsibility for what lands in their package stays with the human who submitted it.

Non comprate i Pixel 11 se siete interessati a utilizzare #GrapheneOS. Ma anche se non siete interessati, non comprateli lo stesso... Restate su Pixel 8,9 e 10 o aspettate il Motorola

«Sconsigliamo vivamente l'acquisto di dispositivi Pixel 11. Pixel 8, 9 e 10 offrono una sicurezza complessiva molto migliore per GrapheneOS»

@lealternative

Non si parla d'altro.

La mia opinione? Una derivata come un'altra che ha il vantaggio di poter attirare il pubblico più affine per Linux: quello degli sviluppatori e dei power user.

Di contro interessi economici che sembrano spropositati e una spinta verso l'AI tossica a discapito della cultura informatica.
