We're aiming for a release a few weeks after Ubuntu 22.04 is released next month. Risk of a date skip: medium.

@RegolithL When 2.0 is going to be released? Should I hold back with giving 1.6 a go, or is there enough time to get acquainted with Regolith at all?

Actors are the dumbest people in the world.

Read about today's talks: Command Line tools for design, Replicant, Opening keynote with artist collective Hundred Rabbits, and closing Keynote with Zoë Kooyman, executive director of the FSF, and more! https://u.fsf.org/3iv

From today's final keynote: Zoë said that she has "an endless amount of examples and reasons to believe that free software is the way forward, worth protecting, and something we need to make sure people understand how to fight for."

Added keyboard case support to the Powersupply app

Another problem: what should we say when referring to proprietary software?

Many people, especially in the west, view "proprietary" as a good thing. They see "property" and think you don't own free software (yet, you do own your copy).

I propose the term "restricted software".

The other fallback term, which I've sometimes used already, is "freedom-respecting software".

All software I release is also free of charge. That said, I want there to be no (or less) ambiguity about what I mean when I talk about software or hardware. I'm in favour of *freedom*.

I've been thinking: what if we had a better term than "free software" to say "free software"? Same ideological zeal, in an unambiguous fashion. This question pertains to English-speaking communities.

I have decided to say "freedom software".
Also: "freedom hardware".

Thoughts?

Do you own a cowboy hat?

On #AlpineLinux & #postmarketos , I was fed up with the janky way that xdg autostart is used to run things on login, so I wrote a brand new user service supervisor, called superd. It's like systemd --user but without all of the rest of systemd.

Linux 5.17 is released. This is the first kernel version I've been looking forward to in a long while. This replaces the SHA-1 entropy extractor with BLAKE2s, which mean consuming RDRAND is significantly more efficient.

A new installment of the freely-licensed Agalder sci-fi series is available: https://jxself.org/git/?p=universe.git

Agalder is humankind's future world. The planet has been civilized for forty years, and has already had its first major war, the 'Iron Wars', which left the world scarred with burning deserts from the bombs and chemical weapons dropped. There is a paramilitary police force, specialized in armed combat, who are in constant struggle against the gangs of survivors.

BRIDGETON, Mo. (AP) — Nuclear waste buried in a Missouri landfill that sits near an underground smolder is more extensive than first believed, and is part of the reason the $205 million Superfund project that began nearly four years ago has been delayed, an Environmental Protection Agency spokesman said Friday.
