(They should rather secure money for lobbying against the age verification laws, if they were truely for Linux, but of course they do nothing, because there are a bunch of big tech companies behind it...)

FosseryWeb progress report:
Started the regeneration of HTML cheathseets using page-builders, but didn't get far, because I had some other stuff to do, plus I have to deal with the age verification nonsense, work on a contingency plan in case things get too bad... I mean it's already too bad with Systemd laying the ground work...

FosseryWeb project report:
I regenerated the CSS cheatsheets with the new page-builders tool, to improve the consistency of the cheatsheets and discover some more cases which weren't handled yet in page-builders (e.g. unordered list conversion, link pointing to another cheatsheet, comma in cheatsheet title, etc.), and I also corrected a few mistakes in the cheatsheets which somehow I didn't notice earlier (e.g. a section missing from the online and Markdown version of the CSS Selectors Cheatsheet, but included in the ODT version). And also, I removed the heading hooks from the Markdown versions, because they aren't supported by all programs (e.g. Joplin just displays them as plain text), and replaced the color gradient divs with image files in the online version of the CSS Backgrounds Cheatsheet, so now they can be displayed correctly in Pale Moon and Seamonkey browsers.

Not sure if it legally applies to me, I only distribute the app on Codeberg, plus the Flatpak via Disroot's file sender because it exceeds Codeberg's file limit, but I just put it out there, in case this would apply to FOSS projects distributed solely on code collaboration platforms. What can they do with me? I'm anonym, they don't know my real-world identity, and even if they hire hackers, and de-anonymize me, what do they do with me? Fine me? Not gonna pay. Arrest me then? I'm in Europe. But I guess they don't even know about the existence of the app, so why should I even bother?)

Odysee plans feature to play any YouTube video directly inside its app soon without ads:
https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/2/odysee-plans-feature-to-play-any-youtube-video-directly-inside-its-app-soon-without-ads/
(Oh no, why the heck they want another legal trouble? I mean, it sounds good for the users, but it gives a reason to authorities to mess with them, and potentially sue them into bankruptcy, like they already did with their parent company, LBRY. Of course, NewPipe, Invidious, FreeTube, etc. do the same, but those are community projects, can't be attacked that easily, and even if they can be, they don't have that much to lose. In contrast, Odysee is a company, which employs people, who have to make a living. Also, it's a separate platform, which will be lost, if they lose the lawsuit (which is pretty likely, because authorities don't give a crap about digital freedom, only about the big corps' business, they don't consider YouTube datamining people a crime, but they do consider companies "hurting" big tech, see the YouTube Vanced case))
(And tbh, I personally prefer to watch YouTube videos without tying my watch history into an online account, FreeTube already offers a really solid experience)

And soon, FosseryWeb Min support will also be added, the script will generate the cheatsheet page for both sites in one go.
