"Thundermail" will be part of a suite of Thunderbird Pro services, as the team behind the venerable Mozilla email client begins building a complete ecosystem.

The European Chips Act has set ambitious goals and its implementation is a significant pan-european effort. From an academic perspective, last year we published an open letter emphasizing the critical importance of open-source EDA for academia in Europe. We were excited and grateful to see that this initiative triggered the definition of a European roadmap in this area, and a matching Chips JU call for project funding. We believe that the projects funded by this call will have a significant impact. Moreover, we already see rising interest from many EU stakeholders, with increasing investments into open-source chip design, especially in open source IP development (e.g. RISC-V cores), and open source EDA tools.

One additional critical barrier remains toward the end-goal of building real open-source chips, especially for prototyping and education: namely, streamlining the access to open source chip production facilities (foundries) is essential. Programs like ChipIgnite, Tiny Tapeout and IHP’s open source program have become “guiding stars” that demonstrate that everyone with a computer can build chips. We believe that having low-cost, regular and easy access to chip production is critical to create excitement and build up expertise, widening the pool of chip designers with tape-out experience: a true silicon democratization and a further de-mystification of chip design.

Qt 6.9 is here! This release brings exciting innovations, enhanced graphics performance, and new platform capabilities to help you build exceptional applications.

Highlighted improvements in Qt 6.9 include:

• Qt Graphs: Interactive 2D panning, zooming, and dynamic 3D graph injection. Printing support now available!
• Qt Quick: GPU-accelerated SVG animations and Variable Rate Shading for improved graphics performance.
• Qt Quick Controls: New context menu support enhances desktop integration and user experience.
• XR Enhancements: Haptic feedback added for creating richter immersive virtual interactions.

The list of changes is too extensive to summarize here.

Long Story

I tried to share this previously in Reddit & HN but got 0 attention. I was hoping I could get some feedback here.

When I created this, I envisaged at least two use cases:

1. (main one for my workplace) Plug the generated email(s) into the monitoring system to create tickets in the project management software you are using when an alert is triggered
2. (for open source projects) Embed/Share the generated email with your users and have the email bug reports transformed into gitlab/gitea/github issues
3. (it could serve as a starting point for an open source business automation software)

This is in a very early stage, I am more than open to feature requests. I have have a bunch of improvements planned but would like to see if there's some interest first.

The project source is in gitea.v3m.net which is not public, I am open to creating a public mirror in your favorite public place (gitlab.com, github.com, ...).

I am also open to having the current instance serving right from your open source subdomain for those interested.

The Bellingcat Auto Archiver is an essential tool for online investigations, helping you to secure the source material crucial for your research. We now have a brand new version of the tool,

The tool was improved and made more user-friendly by @msramalho.bsky.social from our Tech Team, and our Tech Fellows @erinhmclark.bsky.social and Patrick Robertson who worked on the new version of the tool during their fellowships.

For organisations, we've also released the code for the UI and API that Bellingcat uses internally for archiving our sources. You can use this code to give easy access to your entire team.

Bellingcat is a not-for-profit and our work would not be possible without the kind support of individual donors. Help us continue this work by donating today: www.bellingcat.com/donate/

This is part of the cross-platform work for bluetuith, and is essentially a demo of the bluetooth-classic library.

This daemon provides a REST API interface to control Bluetooth Classic functions.

Features are:

• Pairing (with authentication)

• Connection (automatic and manual profile based connection)

• Object Push (Send and receive files)

And currently only on Linux, it additionally supports:

• Bluetooth network tethering (PANU/DUN)

• Media playback control (AVRCP)

It also provides an interactive API viewer (courtesy of Scalar Docs) via the "/docs" endpoint. Also, it provides an openapi command to output the entire OpenAPI specification of the REST API.

This is currently in preview (i.e. alpha).

Any feedback is appreciated.

As share of income? In form of time?

Akamai announced today they are now providing the hosting services for Kernel.org for their cloud computing needs as well as content delivery network (CDN). Akamai and the Linux Kernel / Linux Foundation have agreed to a "multi-year agreement" at "no cost" to provide the hosting needs for Kernel.org including the Git repositories of the Linux kernel itself and all the associated Git repositories hosted on Kernel.org.

Let's immediately acknowledge that the title is lighthearted, and that "communist company" is an oxymoron. The better choice would've been, "which is the most worker-owned, egalitarian, power-structures-free cooperative?", which SEO experts told me was too long of a title. With that said, let me tell you about Igalia and other tech cooperatives.

Many visual models have been conceived and identified in the past several years, but their production is difficult for non-technical users and coding knowledge and a significant amount of time is still required to master the libraries and the tools that allow to create them.

What makes RAWGraphs different from other data visualization tools?

1. No fee and no registration required. RAWGraphs is open and free for everybody

[...]

2. RAWGraphs doesn’t store data.

Even though RAWGraphs is a web app, the data you insert will be processed only by the web browser. No server-side operations or storages are performed, no one will see, touch or copy your data.

3. Open outputs optimized for your design process.

RAWGraphs allows you to export your visualizations in .svg. [...]

I learned about it from this article: https://gijn.org/stories/four-free-cutting-edge-investigative-data-tools/

In particular, it was described as follows:

While excellent visualization tools such as DataWrapper and Flourish are frequently used in published investigations, reporters often need simple, fast graphical depictions of their data during the reporting process. In addition to guiding your understanding of complex data as you gather it, it’s often helpful to have a simple bar chart, matrix plot, or bubble chart to show your editor or a potential source.

Pooja Dantewadia, data journalist at Realtor.com and a former graphics reporter at The Los Angeles Times, said the open source RAWGraphs web app is not only ideal for briefings and brainstorms, but is also useful for rapid chart choices and published graphics on deadline.

RAWGraphs “is amazing in terms of quickly turning data into visuals,” Dantewadia noted. “It’s great if you want quick analysis of data, and to quickly see what kind of chart would be most appropriate, so your editor can quickly see what the data is showing. It’s great for brainstorming. And you don’t even have to sign up — that’s how quick it is.”

The app includes 30 chart models, from Sankey diagrams to heatmaps, and its Youtube channel offers helpful tutorials on how to build and export each one. According to the website, data you upload to the tool should be secure because “the data you insert will be processed only by your web browser.”
