📰 Ubuntu Snap Prompting Improvements
If you haven’t tried Ubuntu’s ‘Permission Prompting’ feature for a while, there’s more reason to do so in the latest release. Canonical’s Oliver Calder has shared an update on recent improvements to the security feature, which sets out to “empower users” by letting them decide what software can access on the rest of the system at runtime rather than retrospectively.

[email protected] - Drizzle in my repo today with 2 new apps. Most prominently:
Watomatic – to help those of you still stuck at WhatsApp to leave that s(t)inking ship without being afraid "nobody can find you": it sends auto-responses to everyone writing you, telling them you've left and where to look. So: no more excuses, here's your door! https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.parishod.watomatic
Further running: SpaceXFollower (SpaceX events, facts, statistics) and Auxio, a nice music player, added yesterday.
Enjoy #foss#Android#apps with #fdroid!
[$] The exploitation paradox in open source
自由开源软件（FOSS）运动的核心是赋予个人和组织自由与权力，但其发展历程中，总存在试图利用FOSS谋取私利的参与者。在2026年比利时根特的配置管理营（CfgMgmtCamp）上，Richard Fontana阐述了开源的“剥削悖论”：即反复出现的危机模式，一些参与者利用规则漏洞来限制自由或在社区中获得对他人的优势。他还讨论了弥补这些漏洞的尝试，以及有必要超越许可证本身，以寻求维持自由的其他手段。
