Should someone be interested, there is a #rc for the new #imagepipe version.

https://kaffeemitkoffein.de/nextcloud/index.php/s/Dees7SB22sXtoJa

A short story:
I am building the #android #sdk on my own and use my own #sdk build to develop #imagepipe .

See here:
https://codeberg.org/Starfish/SDK-Rebuilds

Doing it that way, I learned a lot.

#imagepipe also has zero #dependencies, so that the resulting #apk is only 643 KiB in size. It fits on a 3.5" #floppy #disk, should you remember them.

#imagepipe is also downward compatible to support devices running #android 4.0.1, whilst targeting #android 16, so you can use #imagepipe even on very old, outdated devices.

Unfortunately, my #samsung Galaxy young broke, so that I cannot test #imagepipe on a native device with a display as small as 320x240 pixels anymore. The last versions worked well on it.

#AskFedi, #Fediverse, a topic just came up: many in the #EU are looking to #renewables to strengthen their #sovereignty by reducing #dependencies - e.g. #methane for #electricity generation.

The challenge to balance is just as sharp when it comes to #food #SupplyChain s. How can densely populated regions produce bread grains, rice, or for that matter mustard and lentils?

#VerticalFarming #VF and #UrbanAgriculture #UA can improve availability of leafy produce, fruits; but seed crops?

CERT.at - Lock the Ghost

In the software world, “remove” is not equal to "gone." This is crystal clear. There is always a good reason for that. Let’s take a short trip through how Python Package Index handles removals and how we can lock the ghost in an uv.lock file – forever!

Wow! What a read - dependencies everywhere, who would have thought it. That’s probably what happens when you (we) have a world (theoretically) governed by international rules of law. And who doesn’t get “crankier with sand in their shorts”?

While you are at it, you should also update that dependency you have been putting off.  Don't act surprised. You know which one I'm talking about.  We all have "that" dependency we need to update but have been putting of for some reason.

tl;dr: Submit MenderCon CFP ASAP!

External import maps, today! • Lea Verou

A few weeks ago, I posted lamenting the current state of web dependencies. Turns out that external import maps — the lack of which I had identified as a core limitation — can be emulated today!

@makepkg It's not a matter of paranoia, but acknowledging #dependencies and how those can be abused abainst oneself.
