In NetNewsWire 7.0.5 we made a change to get the feed image from RSS via the image element.
Weren’t we already doing this? Seems surprising that we weren’t!
It’s because, historically, these images were often rectangular — but the app wants square images. These days, probably due to the influence of mobile apps, images tend to be square, which is great. It means we can use these.
Note to feed publishers We suggest checking your feeds to see if they are supplying an image URL.

Ghostty, a modern GPU-accelerated terminal emulator developed by Mitchell Hashimoto, is transitioning its active development away from GitHub due to ongoing reliability issues that have disrupted daily workflows.

Hashimoto announced the decision in an emotional post titled “Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub,” stating that the project will gradually eliminate its dependency on GitHub while maintaining the current repository as a read-only mirror. Further details about the new hosting platform will be provided in the coming months, as discussions continue with both commercial and open-source providers.

In these uncertain and divisive times, we appreciate Anthropic offering support to the Blender project in the form of a Patron-level membership. This enables the Blender team to keep pursuing projects independently, and to focus on building tools for artists and creators.

Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency (Sovereign Tech Fund) has provided critical financial resources to open-source software projects and maintainers the past several years. This has proven to be an incredible effort and today they announced their newest initiative as the Sovereign Tech Standards.

Sovereign Tech Standards aims to support open-source maintainers working on open standards and improving interoperability. Sovereign Tech Standards covers standards via the IETF, W3C, and ISO.

David Steele, maintainer of the popular pgBackRest backup and restore project for PostgreSQL, has archived the project and announced that it is no longer being maintained.

After a lot of thought, I have decided to stop working on pgBackRest. I did not come to this decision lightly. pgBackRest has been my passion project for the last thirteen years, and I was fortunate to have corporate sponsorship for much of this time, but there were also many late nights and weekends as I worked to make pgBackRest the project it is today, aided by numerous contributors. Every open-source developer knows exactly what I mean and how much of your life gets devoted to a special project.

Since Crunchy Data was sold, I have been maintaining pgBackRest and looking for a position that would allow me to continue the work, but so far I have not been successful. Likewise, my efforts to secure sponsorship have also fallen far short of what I need to make the project viable.

What are the best open-source software for recording games running on Ryujinx?

OBS doesn’t seem to be the best option for this task. Are there any other choices?

If you're unfamiliar with Surf Social it's a pretty simple concept: It allows you to make feeds that incorporate RSS, BlueSky and Mastodon accounts (and thus some Threads accounts), podcasts (yes, also RSS but formatted appropriately), inter-network hashtags, and YouTube (and maybe more, I don't have an exhaustive list). Peertube also works via RSS.

I suppose these are all things that you can technically get with an RSS reader (can you follow bsky with RSS?) but really it has more to do with the way the content is formatted, as well as the fact that I can share feeds, and browse others' feeds.

You can also sign in with bsky/threads and comment using those accounts.

It's very cool, and I've been having a lot of fun with it, but it is and will remain closed-source. The monetization strategy is unclear but it sounds like they're going for a sort of Patreon-style approach, in addition to potentially paid ads. And also you cannot use it without a Surf account, which I do not like.

A friend and I wanted to use a Wiimote as a PC remote for movie night. We have tried various existing software, but all had some issues: some were old Xorg-only programs, some didn't have proper IR tracking, and all were abandoned by the developer. But most of all, no software (even modern remappers like InputPlumber) had any support for key combos. So, we set out to write our own.

Some of our requirements were:

• Key combos (the wiimote has only few buttons)
• Proper IR tracking
• The ability to enable or disable the IR with a key combo
• Having no observable latency

We first developed "esperto" a powerful system for describing and detecting key combos, which we implemented in this library. It is generic so it can be used on pretty much anything that needs combo detection. At first, we intended to plug that into InputPlumber, but then decided it would be easier to do everything ourselves.

So, we ported this IR tracking algorithm from Hector Martin to rust, and put it together with our esperto library, and this is the result. It is extremely fast (mostly dominated by the actual latency of evdev's and uinput's UAPI), and it meets all of our requirements. And we already have ideas for future improvements, for example how to add support for wiimote extensions.

I'm looking to move my dad, who is not versed in technology, from Windows 10 to Linux. Windows 11 is not supported on his old laptops and given his computer usage I think it's not worth to buy a new laptop just to be on Windows 11 with Slopilot. He uses Excel a lot, but only basic functionality, which any office suite can do. The problem is he is accustomed to the Ribbon UI and although he has LibreOffice on his other computer, he seems not to like it, I think he's lost in its UI/UX. I would like to find an office suite for Linux that looks like MS Office. It doesn't need any bells & whistles, basic spreadsheet and document functionality is enough. I'd like to move all his Excel spreadsheets to that new program.

I looked at OnlyOffice -- I think it's the closest match. But it's Russian (I believe their HQ in Latvia is a smokescreen). WPS Office looks kinda Ribbon-like, but I see they focus heavily on AI and cloud. Collabora is based on LibreOffice. LibreOffice is not like Excel. I think it may not be possible to find what I'm looking for, but perhaps somebody can help.
