#KSudoku is a set of sudoku games.

Sudoku is a logic game where the player must fill in a grid with numbers. Each segment in a sudoku board must be filled with all numbers from 1 to 9, but must be unique in the section and in its row and column. KSudoku has several different sudoku games, including classic 9x9, 3D, interlocking 3D, and a few others.

This small cat picture represents a huge step forward for Spectrum (https://spectrum-os.org).

It is a window of a graphical application running inside an unprivileged VM, seamlessly drawn on the host system’s window manager just like any other window.

This is done using virtio-wayland, a technology invented for Chrome OS. I think it has huge potential, but to my knowledge, this is the first time it has been used outside Chrome OS (it was a real pain to port).

Thanks @puckipedia for the help!

At its 32nd party conference this weekend, the German conservative party CDU resolved to join @fsfe in demanding that software developed with public money should be publicly available as #FreeSoftware:

"This is why the following will apply to all (public) digitisation projects in Germany in the future: the awarding of contracts and funding will be subject to compliance with the principles of open source and open standards."
