ACARS DramaAbsolute crap right there. Note that I was logged in when this showed up.
Forcing people to download an app is so that the app maker can extract more data from you.
It is **never** safer than a website, given that both the app and the website are retrieving data from the same backend anyway.
Oh and the bit where they say it is done to protect my privacy - that's exactly the opposite of the truth given that a mobile app can gather much more info about me compared to a website.

GIMP@mastazi Hi! I think there is a mistake. Nobody accused you of lying. :-)
In fact, quite the opposite, I suggested a theory of what could be the source of the mistake: some people have been mistaking our testing website with the real one and spreading links by mistake. And your screenshot confirms this. Look at the URL. This is the testing website, not the main one. 😉
So the GIMP team has put out this post but has anyone been able to actually download GIMP 3.0? When I go to the Downloads page I only see the RC3 which was announced last month in a different post. "GIMP 3.0 Released" by @GIMP

Thanks to everyone in the fediverse who has favorited, boosted, and reached out to me supportively over the injunction and takedown order that I wouldn't comply with (overview: https://infosec.exchange/@PogoWasRight/114110520940142405)
Special thanks to @zackwhittaker for reporting about it all on #TechCrunch:

Here's my post on the court injunction my site got hit with: HCRG Care's lawyers claimed an injunction issued in a "private" hearing required us to remove two posts. We didn't comply. HCRG Care was represented by the Pinsent Masons law firm in the UK in this matter. The injunction was issued by the High Court of Justice, King's Bench Division, Media and Communications List by the Honorable Mr. Justice Soole. Pinsent Mason's attempt to get my web host to remove my posts also failed. As always, I feel blessed to have the legal support of Covington and Burling's Kurt Wimmer Pro Media Freedom Initiative, which has represented my site pro bono for the last 16 years. Read about the letter, the injunction, and why the High Court's over-reaching injunction endangers UK journalists and doesn't serve the public well. https://databreaches.net/2025/03/05/hcrg-cares-lawyers-claimed-an-injunction-issued-in-a-private-hearing-required-us-to-remove-two-posts-we-didnt-comply/ Oh, and I'm not the only one ignoring the injunction. Medusa also got served with the injunction via tox chat, they tell me. And like other injunctions they have received, they are ignoring it. So what has HCRG really accomplished? #databreach #ransomware #Medusa #transparency #censorship #pressfreedom #injunction #FirstAmendment @[email protected] @[email protected] @lawrenceabrams @[email protected] @amvinfe @lawfare @[email protected]

dansupI never wanted to become a BDFL.
I like building things, and want to get Pixelfed, Loops, Sup, PubKit and my other projects to reach a stable state, and then hand over control to the community, once ready.
I'll still be lurking in the background, ready to help when needed.
But I think our projects will grow even more with a dedicated team of contributors and maintainers in control.
This is why I'm working to establish a non-profit foundation!
This belongs to the people, boost if you agree ❤️
That's a step in the right direction, serves Bambu Lab well after their recent anti-consumer behaviour https://hackaday.com/2025/01/19/bambu-connects-authentication-x-509-certificate-and-private-key-extracted/
