SparkyLinux 8.0 Is Out as One of the First #Linux Distros Based on #Debian 13 âTrixieâ https://9to5linux.com/sparkylinux-8-0-is-out-as-one-of-the-first-distros-based-on-debian-13-trixie

I am always said when a project goes from free to non-free, but hey, we aren't entitled to other people's work. But it makes me a bit disappointed when someone does it while still pretending to be "open source".
You should read the software license you put on the stuff you make... If you want it to be non-commercial and no-derivatives, well, don't just try to modify the GPL, find a different license that actually lines up with what you're trying to do.
Would love to hear migration thoughts & plans (if any) from other FOSS maintainers (and sponsors!) currently using Github Sponsors. Are you planning/supporting to leave? Are you afraid you'll lose sponsors?
Personally, I'd also love to hear from my own sponsors (some of which are also here đ). I'm considering migrating various public & still private https://thi.ng repos to @Codeberg (and plan to join as a club member), but would keep GH as passive mirror for now (updated only during new releases). Issue tracking would move to CB...
Would you support such a move? What are your own concerns? Instead of GH Sponsors, I've also started accepting donations via https://liberapay.com/thi.ng/ and the old https://www.patreon.com/thing_umbrella also still exists (though their greedy 8% fee makes it a non-preferred option)

#Digitale#SouverÀnitÀt fÀnngt mit so einfachen Sachen an, wie der #Tastatur App auf deinem #Handy.
Tippst du irgendwas, sendet Googles #Gboard Tastatur App das ĂŒbers Internet an #Google. Das merkst du zum Beispiel, wenn Google dich dann fragt:
âMöchtest du dieses #Passwort im Passwort-Manager speichern?â â Bei Google kann es dann auf jeden Fall schon gespeichert sein.
Ich nutze eine freie #OpenSource Tastatur #AnySoftKeybord, die nichts sendet und speichert.

GNOME 48.4 ist ein Wartungsupdate, das vor allem die falschen Update-Benachrichtigungen in GNOME Software behebt. ZusĂ€tzlich gibt es Bugfixes in GNOME Shell (u. a. DâBus-Screenshots, Lupe, RTL) sowie Verbesserungen in Einstellungen und Online-Konten, inkl. besserer UnterstĂŒtzung fĂŒr IMAP/ProtonMail Bridge, Nextcloud und Google. Das Update rollt bald in die Repos der Distros, parallel erschien GNOME 47.9.
