       JShelter0.15.1 is out now! This is a fix for Chromium-based browsers. When you are browsing you need extra protection. The #JShelter extension should be part of that protection. https://jshelter.org/versions/#0.15.1

       @Privatepower42 @endDRM There are stores that sell DRM-free audio that include new music listed in the guide: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide/audioYou can use the VLC app on an iPhone to play DRM-free media on the device, but I would recommend migrating away from Apple products as Apple has historically been adversarial to software freedom.

       @vitali64sur I expected it to just work like old HP printers did. Now it just works the way they want it to. I put that project aside, but I think the next step is to give this away and buy an old HP printer that only connects to a computer with USB.

       @vitali64sur Is there similar support for a cups server with Brother printers like HP has with the hplip package?

       @Suiseiseki @vitali64sur Do you have anything to backup your statement calling hplip proprietary? It seems to be GPL-2.0-or-later at a glance.

       @Suiseiseki That is a problem. Looks like Debian and many other distributions strip that problematic blob out so it doesn't affect me. https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/hplip

       @Suiseiseki I generally trust Debian maintainers to diligently follow the Debian Free Software Guidelines and patch out any questionable material. Their track record has historically been very good.

       @jfmblinux @blueghost @fsf We very recently added translation support. A French translation has not been submitted. If you have the ability to translate to French or any other missing languages, documentation can be found at https://jshelter.org/i18n/

       VMware was recently purchased by Broadcom and is having a massive series of layoffs. If you are using ESXi or other VMWare products, it is always a good time to consider alternatives such as Proxmox or virt-manager. https://www.proxmox.com/https://virt-manager.org/

       @mobian I do not use these apps, but I recognize that they are widely popular. If you love the projects, it is time to fork them.@krafting QKSMS is reasonably good. https://f-droid.org/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/

       I need to resize a GNU/Linux desktop for a broken display where the bottom 60 pixel rows no longer work. I know about xrandr and I already know how to use that to solve similar problems, but does anyone know if a GUI tool exists to set custom screen sizes that are not offered by default for those that are less familiar with the CLI?
