The captchas have become sentient: we’re working on fixing the captcha issue
As some of you may have noticed, we’ve been having some issues with captchas.

Fedora 42 released
Fedora 42 has been released, bringing with it a major policy change: the Fedora KDE version now has the same status as the GNOME version.

It’s still a WIP, but I’d love to see it progressed even further – I truly feel strongly about a purely decentralised messaging ecosystem 👌
