Calling all Steam Deck owners! What are some super fun games for a 6-year-old and a 10-year-old to play on it?

Perseverance pays off!

I have - after quite a lot of fiddling - got @postmarketOS booting on a OnePlus6, with full disk encryption enabled.

I am really excited to give this a try.

Hundreds of thousands of Computers won't be able to upgrade to Windows 11, but that shouldn't make them eWaste.

Kudos to the @kde team for this amazing initiative!

Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

Anubis is designed to protect websites from AI scraper bots, Anubis primarily focuses on parameters like the user agent sent with the request and looks for oddities in the connection. “Known good” and harmless clients are always accepted, and “Known bad” clients are always denied. Now the same tool is used to get protection from a DDoS attack: https://fabulous.systems/posts/2025/05/anubis-saved-our-websites-from-a-ddos-attack/

As part of our volunteer-driven accessibility initiative in GNOME Calendar, and for the first time in the 10+ years of Calendar's existence, we finally completed and merged the first step needed to have a working calendar app for people who rely on keyboard navigation. This merge request in particular makes the event widgets focusable with navigation keys (arrow left/up/right/down) and activatable with space/enter. This will be available in GNOME 49.

Most of GNOME Calendar's layout and widgets consist of custom widgets and complex calculations, both independently and according to other factors (window size, height and width of each cell, number of events, positioning, etc.), so these widgets need to be minimal to have as little overhead as possible. This means that these widgets also need to have the necessary accessibility features reimplemented or even rethought, including and starting with the event widgets.

We also hope to get other parts of GNOME Calendar accessible before GNOME 49, but I can't promise anything at the moment. We did start working with making the month view accessible: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/564

Here is a pro tip: Process substitution allows you to treat the output of a #Linux / #Unix command as if it were a file, or write output as if you were writing to a file, but have it piped into another command's input. It's handled by the shell like Bash or Zsh. Syntax:
<(command)
command1 <(command2)

Where you would normally put an input filename for a command, you can instead put <(some_other_command2)

PATH isn’t real on Linux

I have no idea how much relevance this short but informative rundown of how PATH works in Linux has in the real world, but I found it incredibly interesting and enlightening.

The basic gist - and I might be wrong, there's code involved and I'm not very smart - is that Linux itself needs absolute paths to binaries, while shells and programming languages do not. In other words, the Linu

@annaleen I use Zathura for viewing PDFs, which is available at least on Linux on Mac.

Besides not bundling AI, there's no toolbar: All you see is the PDF.

There are some intuitive key commands for basic functions like page up, page down. Because it's minimal, launches very quickly and makes the most of smaller screens, like laptops.

Poll: To delete a file, you would use which command on #Linux or #Unix like systems?

Strong suspicion I could swap out #macOS for #Linux, do better with #Minecraft and most everything else, and not do much worse at macOS-specific stuff like #GarageBand and Messages under #OSXKVM (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM).

Anyone done this, or something similar?
