Ubuntu is Growing Faster on Windows Than on Linux:
https://feed.itsfoss.com/link/24361/17421675/canonical-wsl-growth
(Not really surprised, Ubuntu isn't really a user-focused distro anymore, Canonical makes money from enterprise customers, who like to slave for Microsoft I guess, but they use WSL because Linux is often much better at development stuff.)
(A few months ago, I learned some DevOps at university, and the prof showed how to install Jenkins on a Windows machine using WSL, and I'm like: why use Windows at that point, wouldn't it be easier to just use Linux?)

And the sad thing is they have quite a lot of readers who are also brainwashed zombies shilling Windows in the comment section, and if a Linux user accidentally finds the way there, he/she quickly gets humiliated like crazy. So Linux users are the elitists? Hmm, not so sure about that lol)

https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/privacy-giant-proton-may-be-building-a-web-browser-but-its-community-turns-cold
(Well, I don't rely that heavily on the Proton ecosystem, so I didn't notice any bug in existing products, but regardless, I also think they shouldn't expand more, because they already have a wide ecosystem which can lock people in, so it's basically Google. People should be taught to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, not to switch to another ecosystem just because it claims to be more privacy-focused. There were already some news that Proton handed over user data to authorities.)

A 19-year-old student from Gaza is raising funds to leave Gaza, and study computer science at University of Glasgow, cover living expenses in the UK. Let's help him reach his goal for a better future, consider donating a few bucks, or share his post to reach more people

#Fundraiser #Fundraiser #StudyAbroad #Donate #Gaza

The Atmosphere of My High School Exams in Gaza. ❗

Last year, I finished high school amid war, displacement, famine, and bombardment. During a ceasefire, my school held in-person exams to ensure fair results. I contracted Hepatitis A during the exam period, yet still graduated with 98%, ranking among the highest-performing students across Palestinian Al-Azhar Institutes and earning the highest Physics mark in Gaza that year. Now I’m raising funds to change this reality and reach University of Glasgow. If you're able to help, the link is in my bio. Sharing this campaign could help me reach someone who can.

Your donation will do more than help me attend university. It will give me the chance to build a career in technology, support my family, and create a future beyond war.

(I upgraded a few days ago (I have the Phosh edition), and for some reason, the welcome app appears for a few seconds, then a lock screen with the default wallpaper instead of the one I set, then when I unlock the phone, it looks like as if it crashes, the GUI disappears for a few seconds, then it comes back, unlocked successfully. It only does this after boot, if I lock the screen back, everything is normal, no crash, and the wallpaper is what I set. Not the end of the world for me, but it's a bit weird, might annoy some.)

Some work on FosseryWeb page-builders:
I did some rewrite of the tool, separate out HTML templates from the generation logic, and use Jinja to fill in the templates during generation (this introduces an additional dependency, which some might consider bloat, but since I'll probably be the only one using it, it doesn't matter that much I guess, I rather focus on cleaner code, long-term maintainability). I also created a separate function to handle the Markdown validation logic, and call it before prompting for the description, to give immediate feedback, and rewrote the error messages to be clearer, more organized.

Some FosseryWeb updates:
In the announcement post of last week's major update I asked whether the original site should have rounded, slighly rounded, or edged corners, all three options received one vote, so I decided to go with the middleground, the slightly rounded corners. I also updated the Timeline page to include last week's major update and the design change, fixed metadata on the Min site's cheatsheet pages (where the title said FosseryWeb instead of FosseryWeb Min), updated the "tools I use" section on About page.
https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/
https://fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/
(The site is a bit slow at the moment, seems like Codeberg servers have some performance issues, probably a bit much load due to a bunch of FOSS projects leaving GitHub, the majority of them going to Codeberg. Luckily you can run the site(s) offline too, see instructions in README: https://codeberg.org/fosseryweb/pages)

Minor update to my Joplin config:
Joplin recently got an update where F11 got mapped to toggling fullscreen by default, which conflicted with my setting of toggling the note list, so I decided to modify toggling sidebar (notebook list) to F2 and toggling note list to F3, to ensure the two keys are next to each other, and don't conflict with any default setting.

yeah, corporate-backed projects basically always become corrupt sooner or later, we've seen this with Mozilla and others. On the other hand, the Linux ecosystem as a whole would be in a much worse state, because there would be much less capacity to make Linux daily drivable, most people would be forced into the Windows/Mac ecosystem to get the work done, which would be even worse

Actually, it isn't Flathub but Flatpak itself bending the knee via the xdg-desktop-portal thing, so it also affects Flatpaks from other sources (e.g. the ones builded manually with flatpak-builder) sadly. I wish there was another sandboxed format with that level of permission control. I like to have sandboxing and easily manageable permission system (which some call the "phone approach" and consider it a negative thing, I don't really get why, I didn't hear any clear, reasonable explanation from anyone) for programs which connect to the internet, for privacy reasons. I looked at Firejail earlier, but it didn't seem to have as finegrained permission system as Flatpak

But at least Flatpak can easily be removed from basically any system (except for maybe the immutable ones), while the init system can't really be changed on most systems

GhostBSD says no to age verification, but will probably comply with age attestation laws:

(Now that's pretty sad, GhostBSD was one of the systems I would consider if I ever decided to switch to BSD. I'll stay on Linux because there are quite a few distros who openly oppose this nonsense, but I'd like to see at least one BSD system fully opposing just in case)

elementaryOS dev announces to comply with California law to avoid fines:
https://mastodon.online/@danirabbit/116250765623660340
(I mean, losing a source of income is a valid concern on her part, but it doesn't justify that she risks the privacy of the users. Even though she says in a reply that asking for ID is different, I wouldn't be so sure at this point that she won't consider implementing that too, just to stay in business.)

Fedora Project Leader Suggests Linux Distros Could Adopt Apple's Age Verification API:
https://itsfoss.com/news/fedora-leader-suggests-age-verification-api/
(Adopting a big tech corp's API? What the hell did he smoke? It's even worse than the Systemd stuff. I already had some trust issues with Fedora, but now it becomes pretty obvious, that they shouldn't be trusted)

Devuan rejects compliance:
https://xcancel.com/jaromil/status/2034694340249821329
(Now this is great to see. I'm considering getting away from Systemd due to their attitude to comply, Devuan is the primary distro I consider, because it would let me keep the Debian base but get rid of Systemd at the same time.)

Slackware also rejects compliance:

And ZorinOS too:

Dare say something negative about AI to a normie, and they will educate you that "AI is the future", "If it doesn't give good answer, you're prompting it wrong. It's always your fault!", "You'll be left behind if you don't learn to use it." (Ok, latter is maybe true, but that doesn't mean it should be praised, it's just that the CEOs are brainwashed and think the AI is actually more effective at everything than human workers, plus marketing propagandists want to sell their crappy AI products)

2026-02-15T08:01:44Z

I got enough of AI constantly messing up the cheatsheet conversion from Markdown to HTML, producing inconsistent results despite providing a massive, detailed prompt which tells exactly how to do things. It frickin ignores one or two instructions randomly, and rewrites the text of the cheatsheet regardless of explicitly telling it not to do so. I hate when an AI wants to outsmart me lmao.
I looked at some already available AI-free Markdown converters like Pandoc and Md2html.py but they are too limited for this usecase, they don't let to customize how to convert individual Markdown elements, customize boilerplate, etc, so I decided to write my own script, which will be tailored specifically to FosseryWeb's codebase. It will also be written with future contributors in mind. It will prompt for FosseryWeb local repo directory, cheatsheet Markdown file, and meta description (for link previews on external sites), then automatically get the directory where the Markdown file is stored (if it's saved in the right directory), and where the HTML file should be saved. The FosseryWeb repo path will also be saved to a config file, so it doesn't need to be typed out each time, will be shown as default option...

2025-12-03T19:35:34Z

Django: Windows - stiff, bloated, has everything out-of-the-box, regardless of whether you need it or not

Flask: Linux - flexible, can be lightweight, you decide what additional stuff you want to use, and how to structure the codebase

FastAPI: macOS - similar to Django, but aims to run faster

What's your favorite one? Mine is Flask, because of it's flexibility, and because it doesn't overwhelm me with much auto-generated boilerplate code, it's easier for me to navigate the codebase, if I structure it myself. (Plus I'm a Linux user, so I'm used to having choices lol)
