Adding a single dependency to a Node project and seeing the impact on package-lock.json is like watching a tsunami "ripple" across the entire ocean surface of the planet.

Developers using Node don't care about software supply chain security because they simply can't.

In the wake of Discord’s recent announcement about age verification, Matrix recently came in for a lot of criticism by a lot of people who said it’s not a viable replacement. Andy works on Matrix for a living and Amolith is invested in the XMPP world so we get into secure messaging, trade-offs between security and user experience, federation, and more.

Instead of taking any part in the monthly wayland bashing bullshit, you could just read about how electron, one of the last X11 bastions, has adjusted to wayland. Super important work!

Tech Talk: How Electron went Wayland-native, and what it means for your apps | Electron

Electron recently switched to Wayland by default on Linux, bringing dozens of popular desktop apps along with it. Here's what changed and how it affects developers and users.

@thibaultamartin @opensuse at first it was pretty similar, and I loved all the features an atomic system gave me. Then I wanted to have my servers act the same way but couldn't find a good way to do so. Nor any pattern in the docs. Ansible didn't really support it (IDK if it does today). Whereas with silverblue and bootc I could create them all using Dockerfiles which I already knew how to do. Getting a final disk image out of a Dockerfile I could just install was a game changer.

@thibaultamartin @opensuse I went the opposite direction. Was on Aeon and went to silverblue

@treefifty you should totally be able to do that! If I can run k8s on it then I know you can do this too! Feel free to join the matrix channel or reach with any questions

@treefifty if you're already on Fedora then why not try Bootc? Same fedora you know and (hopefully) love but with the benefits you're looking for as an Immutable OS

@feoh @jimsalter hard agree. I like ubuntu but my servers use bootc which currently Ubuntu doesn't support. So I have to do the whole song and dance to get ZFS on it and honestly it's a hassle.

Fedora Linux 44 Beta is out and all the Atomic Desktops variants are ready for testing: https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-44-beta/

We have two important removals for this cycle:
- Dropping FUSE2 libraries and thus support for AppImages that require them.
- Dropping old polkit pkla rules support

Latest GNOME, KDE Plasma and Budgie releases are also ready.
