We've got some exciting releases scheduled for early November:
1. Our long awaited #pantherx GUI installer is almost ready. A few final tweaks; maybe 2 weeks+.
2. #nheko on mobile: We've ported this high-performance #matrix client to work on #android and #ios. It also integrates nicely with accounts on PantherX OS Desktop.
Stay tuned.

A quick look at the #PantherX Desktop: Here we've got the Menu with global search that can dig into PDF's and other documents, Hub with all online accounts and recent messages and of course System - at the top, right - with clear connection information; supporting all modern standards, including special cases such as OpenVPN with stunnel.
When a neuronet eventually says "don't turn me off; I don't want to die", how would we know whether it came to this conclusion by itself, or whether it's just reflecting our fear of death?

I keep rambling about #rustlang for quite a while now and like to share where this excitement comes from. So I'm giving an intro to "Rust for curious developers":
First, quite an extensive 80-minute session with the folks from Frontend Rhein-Main in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDYRwDwAmzQ
Second, A much terser version with the people from devjobs.at in German-ish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HydIJYLx5GE
The TLDR: For me, it made programming fun again

Hi, I'm a scientist @unifreiburg who studies what ants think (or how?).
I just moved servers, let's see if I can figure this all out.

I'm trying a new idea to try to get a small community together of open source maintainers.
As somebody who tries to build and maintain a project myself I very often wish I had a place to learn, share, and grow with others that are in a similar place.
So I threw this together: https://openbuilders.club/
If you've running an #opensource project, maybe it's some place you could casually hang out, ask others that might be in similar situations for advice, and make some friends. I know I could sure use some friends!
Feel free to message me with your Matrix account for an invite and share this with your friends who are building things.

Wie genial schnell die Community hier auf ein konkretes Problem reagiert.
@luca hat in einer Nacht- und Nebelaktion ein kleines Tool gebaut, mit dem ihr eure #Twitter #Kontakte im #Fediverse wieder finden könnt.
Erwartungsgemäß sind das bei mir nur wenige Kontakte, da ich auf Twitter nie wirklich aktiv war.
Es funktioniert aber auch bei mir. Ein wunderbares kleines Tool und vielen Dank an Luca und die vielen Stunden, die du damit verbracht hast 🙏
[EDIT 21:10] Nicht vergessen den Token auf Twitter wieder zu widerrufen.
Die Verwendung des Tools erfolgt natürlich auf eigene Gefahr.

In the coming weeks and months we're looking to improve how we (the #pantherx OS team) interface with the community. We are still pretty new to this, so there might be some friction 😀
If you want to help out around the system, package some applications, contribute to the wiki, or have an interesting story about how you're using PantherX - drop us a message and join the club!

It seems to be a good idea to append a short secret to each password you save to a password manager (pm).
For ex.
Actual: `mypasswordsecret`
Saved: `mypassword`
So you have your pm pre-fill `mypassword` and add `secret` yourself. Might buy some time in case the pm gets compromised.

I love how @khinsen summarizes the #Guix reproducible environment use case:
“4 commands, 2 files”.
https://10years.guix.gnu.org/program/#guix-as-a-tool-for-computational-science
If you have a SEEED reTerminal (Raspberry Compute Module 4) you can now run a preview of PantherX on your device. Display, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi work as expected. Checkout our Wiki for more information: https://wiki.pantherx.org/SEEED-reTerminal/
When we assume the speed of our current interfaces like keyboards, microphones and displays as 1x, how much faster will we be able to realize complex projects, when our brain interfaces with the computer directly (excluding potentially improved memory, processing speed etc.)? Like an engineer designing an engine, or a programmer, developing an application.
Another year, another update: We are getting close
When you’re working on something you enjoy, hours become days, days become weeks and before you realize it, an entire year has passed, and all that you’ve got to show is … well, that’s the big question, isn’t it?
