Templating has felt like homework for too long in @homeassistant. 😅 So these past weeks I reworked the docs with one goal: make them more approachable. 😃
Every template function now has its own page with real examples. There are learning pages, two step-by-step tutorials.
Live now, first pass, feedback welcome 🙏

🎉🌟 Behold, the revolutionary Google AI Edge Gallery app that's only for iPhone! 🤔 Because obviously, Mac users don't deserve to run "the world's most powerful" open-source #models. 😂 At a whopping 35.4 MB, it promises productivity for the elite who are brave enough to handle all one of its glowing reviews. 🏆📱

Passend zum #diday noch einen Veranstaltungstipp:
📢 Vortrag: Digital unabhängig: Datenschutzfreundliche Alternativen für den Alltag
📆 28.04.2026 - 19:00 Uhr
📍 Ratssaal Rathaus Ratzeburg.

„Digitale Dienste wie WhatsApp, Microsoft Office oder Google Drive sind aus unserem privaten und beruflichen Alltag kaum noch wegzudenken. Sie sind bequem, führen aber gleichzeitig oft in eine starke Abhängigkeit von einzelnen Großkonzernen. Ob durch intransparente Datenschutzbedingungen oder fortlaufende Kosten durch Abo-Modelle: Ein späterer Wechsel wird den Nutzerinnen und Nutzern oft absichtlich schwer gemacht. Doch es gibt gute Alternativen. In dieser Veranstaltung beleuchten wir datenschutzfreundliche und offene Lösungen, die Ihnen die Kontrolle über Ihre Daten zurückgeben. Wir stellen praxistaugliche Anwendungen vor und zeigen auf, wie ein schrittweiser Umstieg ganz ohne Stress gelingen kann.“
Der Vortrag bietet konkrete Tipps und erste Schritte für alle, die ihre digitale Umgebung freier und sicherer gestalten möchten – ganz im eigenen Tempo.

Linux desktop news feels split in two right now.
On the one hand, Wayland is finally getting long-needed session restore, fractional scaling work is moving forward, Linux gaming just pushed past 5% on Steam, and GitHub had to retreat after backlash over Copilot pull request "tips”.
On the other, the office suite world is a proper mess: Euro-Office has launched, ONLYOFFICE has suspended its Nextcloud partnership over licensing and attribution claims, and the LibreOffice ecosystem is locked in a very public fight between TDF and Collabora.
This is what happens when open source becomes strategically important again. Governance, sovereignty, trademarks, attribution, and control all come to the surface.
Are we seeing healthy competition, or the start of fragmentation that could hurt Linux users?

Sometimes you just want to see a molecule move. Run a quick MD simulation without leaving Avogadro — no scripts, no setup. The new auto-optimize tool includes a dynamics mode. Watch it move in real time. Great for teaching. Great for intuition. Just fun to watch. #openscience #compchem #opensource

@rl_dane Let's say that there have been and there are some ambiguous situation. At @tdforg we finally managed to implement Code of Ethics (actually borrowed from FSF), Fiduciary Duties, Conflict of Interest Policy and Community Bylaws that should make it more unlikely to have these types of issues in future. Other #OpenSource foundations are free to reuse them and contribute in improving them. @adamsdesk
Welp, nice. Now we know that Limine accepts AI and the creator is in favour of it, including one of the people in charge of the OSDev and Low Level / Assembly community on Fluxer who reacted with a thumbs up.

Fuck AI.
