Changes since the 2025011500 release:

• disable standard Android feature holding a 10 minute screen wake lock after the screen brightness is raised at least 2 times within 5 minutes since this is confusing for users and it's far better if keep awake is done explicitly
• always show Linux kernel crash notifications from hardware memory tagging (Hardware Tag-Based KASAN) instead of only when system crash reporting is enabled by users
• Messaging: begin under the hood overhaul including fully porting to target API 35 (Android 15)
• recovery: remove spurious warning after sideloading an update fails on A/B update devices
• change build username and hostname to match the stock Pix

For context, Hoarder is a bookmarking tool, and it was selected by selfh.st as one of the favourites of 2024

This post could have been about how hoarder reached 10k stars on Github, or about how we spent a day in the front page of hackernews. But unfortunately, it's about neither of those. Today, I received a cease and desist from someone holding the "Hordr" trademark claiming that "Hoarder" infringes their trademark. Quoting the content of the letter:

Hey everyone! I'm excited to introduce [BotKit], a new framework specifically designed for creating standalone ActivityPub bots.

What makes BotKit different from typical Mastodon bot approaches is that it creates fully independent ActivityPub servers. This means your bots aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations like character limits or attachment restrictions. Each bot is a complete ActivityPub server in itself.

The API is designed to be extremely straightforward. You can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file, with intuitive event handlers for follows, mentions, replies, and more. Here's a quick example:

 typescript

    
const bot = createBot<void>({
  username: "mybot",
  name: "My Bot",
  summary: text`A bot powered by BotKit.`,
  kv: new MemoryKvStore(),
  queue: new InProcessMessageQueue(),
});

bot.onMention = async (session, message) => {
  await message.reply(text`Hi, ${message.actor}!`);
};

  

BotKit currently supports Deno, with plans to add Node.js a

Notable changes in version 77:

• add back legacy back gesture/button handling due to it still being needed on legacy Android versions (older than 13) which haven't been dropped yet

A full list of changes from the previous release (version 76) is available through the Git commit log between the releases.

This app is available through the Play Store with the app.grapheneos.camera.play app id. Play Store releases go through review and it usually takes around 1 to 3 days before the Play Store pushes out the update to users. Play Store releases use Play Signing, so we use a separate app id from the releases we publish ourselves to avoid conflicts and to distinguish between them. Each release is initially pushed out through the Beta channel followed by the Stable channel.

Releases of the app signed by GrapheneOS with the app.grapheneos.camera

Notable changes in version 76:

• explicitly disable Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) for non-video modes again to avoid it being enabled for devices with it turned on by default everywhere such as Pixels (version 69 missed this when porting from Camera2Interop to the new native CameraX EIS API)
• stop generating links for detected addresses in the QR scanning result since Android deprecated this due having far too many false positives and only supporting US addresses
• port modified AndroidX ExifInterface library classes to ExifInterface 1.3.7
• port modified CameraX Exif class to CameraX 1.5.0-alpha04
• update Gradle to 8.12
• migrate to more modern Android APIs

I looked it up on the sub, and didn't find anyone doing this, so I wanted to make a thread proposing titles that will (seemingly) be full verified for the Deck that will release during 2025.

Just in case:

1. This is a personal list. It's all acording to my particular tastes in games.
2. We don't know if all these games will be 100% playable on the Deck, it's just supositions on my part.
3. I'm using categories, but mostly sticking to confirmed for 2025 games. But it may happen some of these get delayed. But I dunno man, I got 404 games wishlisted and I want to use my knowledge, lol.

So, without further adoo, here we go:

Hello there!

I bought my Steam Deck a couple of months ago, and its possibilities have blown me away. It’s incredible what this device is capable of! However, the limited hardware means that most games can only be played on low settings, which don’t look as good as they do on my PC. And that is something that really annoys me about it.

To address this, I turned to streaming. There are a lot of guides that explain In-Home Streaming. But since I spend at least half the week away from home, I needed both an In-House and an external streaming solution. After experimenting with several options, I arrived at a setup that works incredibly well for me and I wanted

Spotted this on r/shmups. I'm highly invested in Aleste Branch news, so it grabbed my attention!

Transcript (via Google Translate):

[Music] Happy New Year, M2 Co., Ltd. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the people who have enjoyed the various reprints of M2 developments over the past 10 years.

The 2025 New Year's card you are looking at was drawn by Shohei Sato, also known as Haruhata, who was in charge of the new illustrations for Dodonpa Daioujo Rinne Tensei, and features the main characters of the original new work Aleste Branch in the M2 Shot Trigger series.

Thank you, Aha-san.

So, this is an update on the development status of Aleste Branch.

The game part of the development is almost complete.

Please take a look at the picture. It is in the mountains. As you can see, the game is complete and we are currently working on implementing it for various hardware. The content is perfect, so don't worry, I look forward to seeing you guys this year. [Laughs]

Listen to an audio version of this article.

I first heard about ghost artists in the summer of 2017. At the time, I was new to the music-streaming beat. I had been researching the influence of major labels on Spotify playlists since the previous year, and my first report had just been published. Within a few days, the owner of an independent record label in New York dropped me a line to let me know about a mysterious phenomenon that was “in the air” and of growing concern to those in the indie music scene: Spotify, the rumor had it, was filling its most popular playlists with stock music attributed to pseudonymous musicians—variously called ghost or fake artists—presumably in an effort to reduce its royalty

Cross-posted from "1.4.21 Released [Release Notes]" by @ptz@dubvee.org in !tesseract@dubvee.org

1.4.21

I'm happy to finally have this to the point I'm comfortable releasing it. I have a time-sensitive need to switch to "infrastructure" mode for a while, so I'm glad to have this release off my plate so I can do the needful on that side of things.

The TL;DR of this release is: Now supports Loops and everything else is either under the hood or a subtle UI tweak.

Overview

This release could probably be considered 1.5.0 rather than a 1.4.x point release, but I'm going to wait until I raise the minimum supported API level before bumping the minor version. Currently, I do have support for 0.19.4+ features, but they're limited to a few minor things here and there (see README.md for specifics). I've also added the capability to automatically enable/disable features that require different API versions, so I'll likely be adding some more 0.

Notable changes in version 75:

• greatly improve gyroscope framing hint implementation
• add a dedicated audio recording mute button for the video recording mode in addition to the include audio toggle determining whether the output file will have an audio stream to provide better support dynamically toggling it on and off while recording
• gracefully cancel image capture requests when switching modes, etc.
• fix enforcing a minimum of one barcode type for scanning
• enable generation of v4 APK signatures to replace fs-verity metadata for updates on Android 15 GrapheneOS
• enable predictive back support
• add edge-to-edge support
• improve haptic feedback integration
• add Material You dynamic colors support
• migrate to modern Material 3 theme
• update Android SDK to 35 (Android 15)
• update target SDK to 35 (Android 15)
• update CameraX to 1.5.0-alpha04
• update AndroidX Core to 1.15.0
• update AndroidX Constraint Layout to 2.2.0
• update Kotlin to 2.1.0
• update ND

Since I'm an avid sim racer, the first thing I did with my new Steam Deck was, of course, fill it with racing games. Here's what I learned so far.

What I'm looking for:

• Handling: Realistic, but controller-friendly feeling. I want to catch slides, manage weight transfer, and balance application on corner exit, but not struggle with snap oversteer.
• Content: Hotlapping, AI racing, online racing, missions and scenarios, sandbox environments … anything goes as long as it's fun.
• Convenience: Easy to set up, easy to start, easy to play.

Framasoft presenta Lokas, un'applicazione per la trascrizione da voce a testo

@lealternative

Lokas è una nuova applicazione di trascrizione da voce a testo sviluppata da Framasoft, progettata per facilitare la presa di appunti durante le riunioni, rispettando la privacy degli utenti.

L'app consente di registrare un audio e ricevere un file di testo trascritto in seguito, utile per svariati scenari.

Lokas è progettato privacy-friendly: i file audio sono inviati sui server di Framasoft e, una volta completata la trascrizione, tutti i dati vengono eliminati dai server e rimangono solo sul proprio dispositivo.

Io l'ho provata con un (piccolo) audio in italiano e ha funzionato bene!

Notable changes in version 20:

• improve app compatibility by trying to load data with no MIME type passed
• improve zoom gesture by scrolling during zooming to keep focus in the same place instead of the top left corner
• simplify zoom gesture by migrating it to using a scale factor
• hide text layer during scaling to avoid scrollable blank space when zooming out
• raise minimum Chromium version for the WebView to 119 (will likely be raised much higher in the near future)
• update pdf.js to 4.8.69
• replace deprecated pdf.js renderTextLayer API usage with TextLayer
• remove workaround for pdf.js text layer orientation bug which was fixed
• set pdf.js isEvalSupported to false as redundant enforcement of our more complete approach of blocking dynamic code execution via Content Security Policy
• update Android SDK to 35 (Android 15)
• update target SDK to 35 (Android 15)
• enable generation of v4 APK signatures
• update Android build tools to 35.0.0
• update Kotlin to 2.1.

• ✅ Custom layouts
• ✅ Steering wheel
• ✅ Rumble(Vibrate with game)
• ✅ Serverless (via Bluetooth HID)
• 🍏 iOS version available
• ❌ $3 In-App Purchases or watch ads for every 30 min free playtime
• ❌ Not Open-source

2. DSU Controller (Wi-Fi)
