@haitchfive<p>Implementing OS integration stuff such as common file dialogs, system clipboard copying and pasting, and accepting desktop file drops. Some other things like using the system caret may prove more tricky, the library api has a method to inquiry system integration capabilities as they are being implemented across platforms. At this time I'm testing on Mac but I'm already preparing equivalent functionality for Windows and Linux integrations. Hopefully the Gnome/KDE divide won't be too rough.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/DeluxeDraw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeluxeDraw</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/golang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>golang</span></a></p>

nxadm<p>I have been extremely busy lately and hadn't checked IRC for at least a week. Today I connected again and heard mst passed away. I will miss him. A sad day for the Perl community.</p><p>Yes, mst was at the same famous and infamous his technical brilliance and humor, and for getting into trouble for verbal abuse. More than once. The beautiful words of Curtis will be recognizable for many people that knew him.</p><p>I met mst several times. At Perl conferences in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK and through the Perl devroom I used to organize with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@WGAvanDijk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>WGAvanDijk</span></a></span>. Going to dinner of to a pub was fun, but organizing something where mst was speaking was stressful :).</p><p>Despite these occasional meetings, how I will really remember mst is through our many IRC chats. They were mostly related to community stuff, but after a while you know each other and conversation become more fun and casual.</p><p>Thinking of those conversations, mst struck me as very, sometime painfully, honest. When he fucked up, he acknowledged it. And regretted it. When he felt he wasn't at fault -while more than once some people assumed he was- he took the time to explain his position and clarify the doubts I had. I always appreciated that.</p><p>mst has been away from IRC for some months and many if us -rightly- assumed it was because he was working on health issues and needed the mental rest.</p><p>Dying at **42**, that felt so mst.</p><p><a href="https://curtispoe.org/blog/rip-mst.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">curtispoe.org/blog/rip-mst.html</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>perl</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a></p>
Linux Is Best<p>State-sponsored exploits are often far more complex than typical vulnerabilities, and they're not always immediately obvious. Rather than being blatant or easily detectable, they're often crafted more like poison. At first glance, a piece of code in a random library may seem perfectly benign, serving a valid and useful function, as do many other independent libraries and functions scattered throughout the system. But when combined with other seemingly harmless pieces, these isolated bits of code can create something far more concerning. It's subtle and easily overlooked — yet, together, they could have a devastating effect.</p><p>This kind of stealthy, integrated attack is difficult to uncover because each individual part of the code appears legitimate on its own. Only when the system as a whole is carefully scrutinized in a holistic way can these potential threats be detected — if they're detected at all.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Stack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DigitalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Europe</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Development</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BackDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BackDoor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/StateSponsored" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StateSponsored</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Espionage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Espionage</span></a></p>
Linux Is Best<p>While FOSS does offer a great deal of flexibility, there are still practical concerns around jurisdiction, especially when it comes to legal matters, security audits, and the involvement of major corporations. Even though the software itself is open and can be modified, the infrastructure and support around it — such as funding, legal protections, or compliance — can still be influenced by where the project is based or the entities involved. Moving to a more independent, EU-based model could help mitigate some of those risks and offer more sovereignty in the long run.</p><p>Furthermore, the concern remains that the U.S. government could potentially order a company to introduce a hidden backdoor into the software, and the corporation might not be free — or even able — to disclose this information. This is a serious issue, especially as political pressures grow. In a broader sense, the U.S. is increasingly resembling more authoritarian regimes like Russia or China when it comes to digital policies, where control over software and data is prioritized over privacy or transparency.</p><p>Even though FOSS allows you to examine the code, the reality is that no one can continuously monitor the entire system at all times. The complexities of modern operating systems make it incredibly difficult to scrutinize every line of code, especially as it evolves. This is why reducing dependency on American corporations and jurisdiction could be an essential step toward ensuring true independence and security.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Stack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DigitalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Europe</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Development</span></a></p>

Yogthos<p>One huge impact mass FOSS adoption would have is that there would be a lot less software and hardware churn. Commercial nature of proprietary technology is the main driver for constant upgrade cycles we see. Companies need to constantly sell products to stay in business, and this means you have to deprecate old software and hardware in order to sell new versions of the product.</p><p>🧵 </p><p><a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/oss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oss</span></a></p>
