If you use GIMP from the Microsoft Store, settings, plug-ins, & other add-ons are lost when you upgrade.

The latest update will fix this, but needs a recent Windows 11.

If you’re on an older version of Windows you can still install from gimp.org. Follow the steps in this post to copy your setting the first time you switch.

GIMP - GIMP on MS Store now requires Windows Build 20348

To fix a potential data loss, we needed to bump the minimum required Windows version on MS Store.

New update, new stuff

With this update, there's a few new stuff coming to homestuck.fr

Reply control

You can now control who reply to your posts, and if they're quotable.
To do so, first click on the speech bubble icon in the post editor, then choose your options in the drop-down menus.
![media-1]
![media-2]
This feature is still a work in progress, bugs are expected. You may report bugs here.

Pronouns on posts

That's right, hsfr has just become gayer.
![media-3]
User-defined pronouns now automatically appear in posts next to the user's handle.
Here's how to set it up: go to Settings -> Profile, then scroll to the Fediverse Attachments and add a new one. Fill up "Property Name" with the word "pronouns" (case insensitive) and "Property Value" with your pronouns. Save the changes and that's it.
![media-4]

New and Improved Emojis

New emojis from Volpeon :neocat: :neocat_floof_cute::neocat_up_paws: and Mutant Standard :transgender_flag: :so_gay: :pride_100:
Some homestuck emojis were broken, they now display correctly. :SBURB:

That's all for this update. :SALUTE:

@DeltaLima@social.la10cy.net

I really DONT like to click twice when I want to boost a post.
This part of the UI got worse.

Edit: @mrdk gave me the tip how to re-enable the old behaviour :heartcyber: :

`“Settings→Appearance→Enable quick boosting” in the web app.`

@mathias@sharkey.world

I'm having high hopes for the latest Mastodon release, and I hope it will be widely installed.

The feature I care the most about, and contrary to what I'd guess many believe, is actually not the quote posting (though it was indeed about time, most other Fediverse services has had this for years).

But the functionality that has me really excited, and which will be a boost for the Fediverse at large, and what will make it more worthwhile for smaller instances to at least try to run their own little community-instance, is...back-filling of posts.

Most Mastodon users, especially on the large instances, had no idea it wasn't working, and the assumption for most new people/users to the Fediverse is that you see everything there is to see. That hasn't been the case.

The lack of it goes against everything one would have thought if coming here from any other service. Basically Mastodon will now load replies to posts from remote servers/instances
even if they don't Federate historically.

The lack of that particular piece of functionality made it really annoying, borderline anti-social, to set up your own instance. Users of smaller instances thought they replied and contributed to posts. Meanwhile, the posts/replies from those smaller instances were literally invisible to the people on large instances. This obviously leads to people on small instances feeling "what is the point of replying?" which isn't a great starting point for building a social media community.

But as I say, apparently they have now fixed this, which was about time. The first bugs about this functionality missing are over 9 years old by now. Great to see it fixed.

FreeBSD 16.0 snapshot ISO images are now live!

While FreeBSD 15.0 has reached its third alpha stage, the upcoming version of FreeBSD that will succeed 15.0, version 16.0, now has the live images available for download as of yesterday. This provides a way for developers and testers to be able to test the newest FreeBSD version in development, v16.0.

FreeBSD 16.0 is anticipated to bring in many changes to the base system and packages, such as general improvements and bug fixes. This version can now be downloaded under 16.0-CURRENT ISO images, which can be found here:

Be aware that the images provided above are based on a snapshot of the latest development branch, which is not guaranteed to be stable.

As usual, the 16.0-CURRENT version can be installed either using the bootonly variant, which is a network installer, or the disc1 variant, which includes the base FreeBSD system.

However, please note that the ports for this version of FreeBSD, which are located in the FreeBSD-ports and FreeBSD-ports-kmods repos, are not ready yet. Only the base packages are ready so far, but the ports should be done soon to be able to fully test the upcoming system.

There is currently no release schedule for this version of FreeBSD, but, based on the last two releases and their release schedules, we expect that FreeBSD 16.0 goes globally available on November 2027.

I had a crash that took down Firefox, so when I restarted it it was the newest version (an update I'd installed, but hadn't restarted after).

I just went looking through the settings pages, which is a habit I've unfortunately had to get into because and keep adding new anti-user fuckery in their continuing quest to drive users away from the only product they make that anyone gives two shits about.

And lo and behold, *this* is the new fuckery I found. Enabled by default. And it reinforces the need to go *check* for this bullshit every version update.

Firefox, if you had asked me how to cut my already diminishing trust in you to do the right thing by your users to near zero, I wouldn't have even dreamed this batshittery up. It's so much worse than I would have suggested. I have *all* the crap turned off - silently adding new crap and silently defaulting it to on is 1995-era Microsoft-screwing-the-users.

You feel you need to add this shit? Fine. But show me a dialog asking me whether I want it on or not when that version first starts. Don't turn it on behind my back and HOPE I DON'T NOTICE.

A small piece of a screenshot of the Firefox browser's "Settings" controls.  Newly added are an item "Support Firefox", with two sub-items:  "Sponsored shortcuts" and "Sponsored stories".

Both are checked by default.

NATO allies held Article 4 consultations after Russian drone incursion. Here’s what that means

" Article 4 can put urgent matters on the agenda

Article 4, the shortest of the NATO treaty’s 14 articles, states that: “The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.” "

Trump sees no reason to economically isolate Russia outside war in Ukraine, Vance says

" "Let's be honest, whether you like or dislike Russia, whether you agree or disagree with their underlying arguments for the conflict, the simple fact is they've got a lot of oil," Vance said.

"They've got a lot of gas. They've got a lot of mineral wealth." "

Trump sees no reason to economically isolate Russia outside war in Ukraine, Vance says

Once a settlement is reached, Washington could have "a very productive economic relationship" with both Kyiv and Moscow, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said.

@ron@social.amichan.de

Vorgestern hatte jemand, ich glaube Du, @galileo , darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass Mastodon in Version 4.4.0 erschienen ist und man das aktualisieren sollte.

Es war 21:30 Uhr.

Eigentlich wollte ich ins Bett. Aber, ach was solls, installierste mal schnell noch 4.4.0. Oh, mein Ruby und /oder Redis ist jetzt zu alt. Na dann das zu erst.

2:25 Uhr bin ich mit völlig zerschossenem Mastodon ins Bett gefallen.

Und habe mich an meine Regel erinnert: "Mal eben schnell gibt es nicht!"

Am nächsten Morgen habe ich zusammen mit Gemini versucht, das System zum laufen zu bekommen. Wir haben installiert, deinstalliert, wieder installiert, aktiviert und deaktiviert. Wir haben Mastodon komplett sauber neu installiert und wieder deinstalliert. Alles verbunden mit Wartezeiten von durchaus 20 min oder mehr. Irgendwann hat Gemini gemeint: Sorry, ich bin am Ende meines Lateins.

Ich hätte 2 Möglichkeiten:

1. einen "richtigen" Experten mal auf mein System schauen lassen, das Problem liegt offensichtlich ausserhalb von Mastodon
oder
2. Mach Linux platt, installiere es komplett sauber, richte Mastodon neu ein, spiele ein Backup der Userdaten zurück.

Und da waren wir an dem Punkt, den ich immer befürchtet hatte: Ein Backup musste eingespielt werden.

Aber real gesehen war es egal. Die aktuelle Version werde ich nicht mehr hinbekommen. Also habe ich das mittlerweile knapp 3 Jahre alte System gebackupt, es waren am Ende drei Dateien: Datenbank, Medienarchiv, Konfiguration.

Dann habe ich die Platte abgezogen, eine zweite Platte genommen, das System sauber installiert und mit Gemini Schritt für Schritt Mastodon neu eingespielt.

Kritisch war erst ein mal nur der Bereich, die SSL-Verschlüsselung wieder zu aktivieren und dem Webserver zu überzeugen, die richtigen Dateien an der richtigen Stelle auszuspielen.

Und dann war das System, niegelnagelneu, tatsächlich wieder da.

Dann ging es ans Rückspielen. Und was soll ich sagen, es war am Ende tatsächlich relativ simpel. Klar, ohne Gemini hätte ich das nie hinbekommen.

Ich hab Gemini dann drei Listen erzeugen lassen:

1. Den kompletten am Ende funktionierenden Ablauf der Installation
2. Den kompletten am Ende funktionierenden Backup-Prozess.

Und die EISERNE Regel: "MAL SCHNELL GIBT ES NICHT!"

Nach 18 h lief das System wieder (inkl. 4,5 h schlafen).

Ein paar kleinere Dinge, Zeichenlimit, Upload-Limit hab ich dann später noch nachgeführt.

I'm now officially housing insecure.

Due to the kindness of a stranger I now have an affordable, stable, private space for the next couple months. This should allow me to focus a bit more cash and mental energy towards court in the short term.

This brings me within spitting distance of getting a high quality lawyer, can you donate a few bucks to help me over this first major hurdle?

Having a lawyer is a CRITICAL step to ensuring my right to a fair trial.

An update for LTR Very Bauble! The original characterset was a bit sparse, so I added, oh, let's see, an asterism, at, sterling, questiondown, Eacute, Ohungarumlaut, Icircumflex, Scommaaccent, Lslash, Adieresis.alt and, let's see, about 2500 more of their friends! All animated with lines, thorns and pips. One axis, five masters. These letters were already having a party and now they are having a ball, waving their new flag and banners. letterror.com/verybauble/index

Demzufolge haben die Beamten Lorenz, nachdem er zweimal flüchtete,

Der 21-jährige hatte sich abgewendet, die Schussabgabe auch auf den Kopf erfolgte dann von hinten.

New Kitten release

• Fixes #236¹: The data preview pages in Kitten’s settings how handle circular references in the deserialised data (which may contain your custom classes if that’s what you were persisting in the database).

PS. Those pages are very rudimentary at the moment and are good for getting quick visual overview of the data you’re persisting. For a fully interactive view, use Kitten’s interactive shell (REPL)² to explore your data until I’ve had a chance to implement a more comprehensive visual interface.

PPS. You persist data in Kitten using the built-in JavaScript Database (JSDB)³ (Or, of course, you can install and use any other database.)

JPEG-XL meets Ubuntu 25.04!

Ubuntu 25.04 now supports JPEG-XL after Ubuntu 24.04 LTS refused to support this image format. It was supposed to land to the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS version, but there were setbacks that led to Ubuntu not adding support for this image format, but, today, this version of Ubuntu supports this image format.

The JPEG-XL image format support has earned an exception from the feature freeze set to stabilize the final release. Your Ubuntu installation now supports JPEG-XL natively to enable high quality images in smaller sizes, because of the much better compression algorithm than other competitors, such as AVIF and WebP.

Before, you had to install the jpeg-xl package manually if you wanted to get support for the same image format in systems older than Ubuntu 25.04. Now, you don’t need to do this automatically.

The Desktop Team Integration Squad update thread has been updated to include a post summarizing how the JPEG-XL support was added after both the MIR and the Release teams had approved this support.

Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin is set to release on April 17th, unless delays occur.

When will you get the One UI 7 update?

Samsung has just started their phased rollout of the One UI 7 update starting from all Galaxy S24, Z Fold/Flip 6, and Z Fold Special Edition devices in Korea. This was right after the Beta programs for this location have already been closed as seen in the following recruitment posts:

People in regions other than Korea were anticipating the One UI 7 update being released to their flagship devices, while the rollout didn’t start in those regions yet. Before the One UI 7 release date, people had speculated that Korea and other regions would be getting the update on April 7th.

In Canada, Telus has published a list of Galaxy flagships devices that will be updated to One UI 7 in approximately April 11th. At the beginning of the page, this carrier warned that those dates were approximate and that they could change.

In the US, the beta program for those three flagships didn’t end yet, and the local One UI Beta Team has notified users that there is “no official schedule has been confirmed by Samsung at this time” for the US or other regions. Additionally, the team has confirmed that “any date being circulated online (including April 10th) is still considered speculative at this time,” but they notified users that the initial rollout is expected to begin locally starting April 10th.

The initial rollout started in Korea, because Samsung in some cases initiate the rollout there as part of the phased rollout, which began in April 7th. This is for Samsung to gather early feedback from users who get to try out the stable version in case there are unexpected bugs that might prevent the rollout from completing globally. As feedback is analyzed, the stable version of One UI 7 will be available in regions other than Korea soon.

If you’re waiting for One UI 7, be patient as Samsung is working hard to ensure that there are no problems during the phased rollout. You’ll be notified about the update schedule in your area via Samsung Members. To check for updates, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Navigate to Software update
  3. Tap on Download and Install
  4. You should be able to see the update information. Verify the version with your device model posted above.
  5. Click on Download, let it download, and click on Install. Make sure that you download the update through Wi-Fi.

This update could take more than 15 minutes to install, depending on the device. Make sure that you have the phone charged fully before initiating the update process to avoid interruptions. Back up your data to your PC, the cloud, or any other device in case the update went wrong. Don’t interrupt the update process, or you’ll experience problems later.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition gets the One UI 7 update!

Earlier, Samsung posted an announcement stating the One UI 7 would be released on April 7th, 10th, and 14th for the latest flagships, with the coming days seeing the release of One UI 7 for older flagships. Then, there is a video posted on YouTube showcasing the new features of One UI 7 as we approach the rollout time.

We are excited to announce that starting from today, users can now download the One UI 7 update to their Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition foldables as Samsung has finally released this exciting version of One UI. Your Galaxy has now become more powerful, amazing, and gorgeous as One UI 7 brings more powerful features and a redesigned appearance consisting of a simple, impactful, and emotive design.

The firmware information states:

  • Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition: BYCK

You can see the overview of what One UI 7 brings in the above linked article at the bottom section. Meanwhile, you can see a two-minute video trailer for One UI 7 highlighting its biggest features here.

https://youtu.be/P4AEIu3V6F4

To obtain the update, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Navigate to Software Updates
  3. Tap on Download and Install
  4. Wait until you see One UI 7 at the top of the page, then tap on Download
  5. Wait for the download to complete, then tap on Install

After you perform the above steps, your foldable will be running One UI 7 based on Android 15, and you can enjoy its new features and with many improvements on place. This makes sure that your experience gets improved.

If you still didn’t get the update for your device, wait for a few days or a few weeks, then check for updates again. If you still see “Your software is up to date,” this means that the update didn’t reach your region yet.

Note that the update process may take 15 to 20 minutes, and this can vary from device to device. The download process may incur extra charges if you’re using the cellular network as the update size is around 5 GB, depending on the device, so we recommend downloading it through Wi-Fi. Never interrupt the update process in any way, or problems may occur. Make sure that your foldable gets charged before you initiate the installation process.

An update for LTR Very Bauble! The original characterset was a bit sparse, so I added, oh, let's see, an asterism, at, sterling, questiondown, Eacute, Ohungarumlaut, Icircumflex, Scommaaccent, Lslash, Adieresis.alt and, let's see, about 2500 more of their friends! All animated with lines, thorns and pips. One axis, five masters. These letters were already having a party and now they are having a ball, waving their new flag and banners. letterror.com/verybauble/index

This update has TWO DOZEN changes and fixes in it! Check out the README file Changelog for the full run-down. Thanks again to everyone who gave feedback!

Phone in landscape showing profile views before and with version 1.5 with and without sidebar open.

The biggest change is to Profile pages on mobile devices. Previously if you visited your own or someone else’s profile on a tablet or phone you would not see their profile photo, display name, handle, etc., because they are in the hidden sidebar panel. If they are using the Bookface “Cover Photo” feature you’d see that, but nothing from their “vcard.”

Phone in portrait showing profile views before and with version 1.5

Version 1.5 reworks all of that. So now when you go to a Profile page you will actually see their photo, display name, and handle. If you open the sidebar it triggers a cute animation that, in hybrid and landscape mobile views, pushes the vcard data over, and it elastically “bounces” off the side. When you close the sidebar is pulls with and then snaps back to its original position. In portrait orientation the vcard info and cover photo drop away when the sidebar is opened (which now opens full screen width) and pops up again when you close the sidebar.

Mobile view photo album thumbnail fix.

The other change was to how Photo albums appear on phones. Previously the thumbnail images were the same size as on desktop resulting in one long column that’s annoying on a phone screen. Now it resizes the thumbnails so you can see a bunch of them at once and directly select the one you want. I wasn’t sure how big/small to make them so I made them the same size they are on my phone’s photo gallery app.

Here's a look at the new Profile page in "Hybrid" mobile view on a tablet:

Mobile Profile Hybrid (Tablet) view in portrait orientation.

And with the sidebar showing:

Mobile Profile Hybrid (Tablet) view in portrait orientation with sidebar open.

As noted there are a bunch of other small changes and tweaks. Things like fixing how "category" and "folder" tag-buttons look, fixing the rollover effect on Compose window formatting buttons, removing drop-shadow from tags, making nav tab appearance consistent with the toolbar tabs, even the Calculator add-on got a modern makeover. All this and more not sold in any store! Get it now:

확실하진 않은데 지금까지 관찰해본 바로는 제가 작성한 게시글에 답글로 달린 상대방의 게시글과 어떤 방식으로든 인터랙션을 하면 발생하는 걸로 보여요. 로그상에서 조금 의심스러운 엔트리는 다른 서버 인박스로 "rangho.moe/@rangho_220/<post-id>-undefined" 액티비티가 날아가는 거였는데 이게 올바른 리퀘스트인지는 잘 모르겠어요...

Hallo ihr Lieben,

ich brauche technischen Rat zu (Modell XR) sowie dem 18.
Ich dümpel hier momentan noch mit der letzten Version von iOS17 herum und schiebe das 18er vor mir her, weil ich immer wieder von Problemen mit Screen Freeze, schnellerer Akkuleerung etc. lese.

Sind diese Probs mittlerweile behoben?

Da ich das iPhone zur Zeit selten nutze, im Durchschnitt ca. 30 Zugriffe pro Tag, Akku laden alle 2 - 3 Tage.

Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Update Changelog

Posts will now not reply to each other. Instead, each post in a campaign will have a hashtag denoting the campaign number.

This was changed due to Mastodon sometimes not propagating large reply threads to other servers, and slow loading of long threads.

This should also make replies to single posts more readable.

Use !posts or !polls for more info about viewing a campaign's posts.

🚨 Date Change Alert: EUROPE 2025 🚨

Due to a large event scheduled in the same week as hotels in Cologne had low availability and rising costs. Therefore, we rescheduled JCON EUROPE 2025 to May 12–15, 2025.

What does that mean?
🔸Everything stays the same except the date!
📅May 12–15, 2025.

We know changes like this can be inconvenient, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Let’s make unforgettable!

Uff. Während das Anpassen der erlaubten Zeichenzahl mittlerweile äußert simpel ist, nein, noch nicht so simpel, dass man das einfach in der Administrationsoberfläche machen kann, ist das Aktualisieren auf Mastodon 4.3.0 bzw. 4.3.1 von einer unter 4.3.0 liegenden Version nicht ganz so trivial. Insbesondere wenn man nebenbei auch Node.js, ruby etc. auf eine höhere Version bringen will.

Auf unserem Server, Illyachan, läuft Debian 11, Bullseye.

Ich halte die Pakete dabei mit den Bordeigenen Mitteln möglichst aktuell.

Trotzdem war Node.js und Ruby schon recht alt.

Die folgenden Schritte habe ich ausgeführt um am Ende bei Mastodon 4.3.1, Ruby 3.3.5p100, Yarn 4.5.1, Node.js 20.18.0 und npm 10.4.0 zu erhalten.
(Ich möchte nicht garantieren, dass die untenstehenden Befehle wirklich so bei jedem das Gleiche ergeben werden. Wenn es so einfach wäre, hätte ich inkl. Deinstallationen, Nachlesen und Fehler beseitigen nicht alles in allem 4 h gebraucht. Immerhin hat hier jemand im System herumgestochert, der eigentlich von nix ne Ahnung hat.)

Das "git stash" war notwendig, weil ich wegen der Zeichenbegrenzung Änderungen am Code vorgenommen hatte.

```
sudo npm install n -g
sudo n stable
sudo npm install -g npm@10.4.0

sudo su mastodon
cd /home/mastodon/live
which ruby-build
ls "$(rbenv root)"/plugins git -C "$(rbenv root)"/plugins/ruby-build pull
RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install 3.3.5
rbenv local 3.3.5
yarn init -2
yarn set version 4.5.1

exit

sudo reboot

sudo su mastodon

git fetch --tags
git stash rm .yarnrc.yml
git checkout v4.3.0
yarn install --frozen-lockfile
bundle install
yarn install --immutable
RAILS_ENV=production bin/rails db:encryption:init
```

Die drei ausgegebenen Variablen mit den Werten in die .env.production kopieren.

```
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true
SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec
rails db:migrate

exit

sudo systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
sudo systemctl reload mastodon-web
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-streaming

sudo reboot
```

Die Installation war ein "voller Erfolg": Mastodon quittierte jeden Aufruf mit dem sicherlich jedem bekannten Fehlerbild. Ich hab das einfach ignoriert und mit der Installation von 4.3.1 weitergemacht.

```
sudo su mastodon cd /home/mastodon/live
git fetch --tags
git checkout v4.3.1
bundle install
yarn install --frozen-lockfile
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile

exit sudo

systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
sudo systemctl reload mastodon-web
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-streaming
```

Ein kurzer Test: Huch? Läuft. Dann ging es nur noch an die Aufhebung der Zeichenbegrenzung. Die hat übrigens Johannes Mirus sehr schön auf seiner Seite dokumentiert: 1ppm.de/2024/07/zeichenlimit-b

```
su - mastodon
cd /home/mastodon/live/app/validators/
nano -w status_length_validator.rb
```

--> 3. Zeile: aus 500 mach 50000 (oder halt was anderes)

```
exit
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
sudo systemctl reload mastodon-web
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-streaming
```

So. läuft wieder.

We've updated Vivaldi Social to the latest Mastodon version 4.3! :tony_wee: :mastogrin:

Fresh out of the oven we have:
🔔 Grouped notifications and detailed options for accepting, filtering and ignoring notifications from specific user groups (for example, people you don’t follow or who don’t follow you).
🖌️ Design and usability updates for the post composer, better looking link previews and more informative confirmation dialogs.
👤 Improved follow recommendations that will now additionally appear in the Home feed.
📝 Easier way to follow writers and journalists on Mastodon.

You can read the full release blog from the Mastodon team here: blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/.

Additionally we have:
🎨 Two new color options (Cherry and Lagoon) for the TangerineUI theme by @nileane as well as updates to the Bird UI theme by @rolle
🎖️ Recently added badges embellishing the avatars of Vivaldi supporters (more info on login.vivaldi.net/profile/dona).

Does anyone know if there’s a way to get alerted when a web page is updated? It doesn’t have an RSS feed. It’s just a very basic government page, but I’m looking for a service that will send me some sort of notification when it updates. Does that sort of thing exist?
