The Project Just Said It’s Coming Back | itsFoss Nitter, the open source front-end for reading X posts without signing up for an account, is not going anywhere yet. Weeks after X Corp's lawyers showed up demanding a permanent shutdown, the project's GitHub repository has come out of read-only mode with an updated README that says Now, the repository and the homepage carry the same message, with the latter further stating that the flagship instance of Nitter and third-party-hosted ones will be back up soon. A proper announcement is expected sometime within the next few days. @itsfoss_official #Nitter

Ikey Doherty vs Tech Industry (Omarchy Showdown) (YT) I'm Ikey Doherty, former open source developer / distro developer / founder etc. Recently I became aware of Omarchy and more specifically the founders (DHH) deeply offensive comments about nomadic people. Having previously fully exited open source & the industry, this upset and triggered me The fact that tech executives the world over have pumped around $13 million into what's effectively a wallpaper-respin-distro as a trojan horse for normalising their extreme views.. well we can't be putting up with that now can we? This is the launch video to start our content journey where we'll be building (in public) a distro from scratch to show the industry, and those from marginalised backgrounds like myself, you don't need a huge wallet or permission to do better than the deeply entrenched tech industry https://www.phoronix.com/news/Ikey-Doherty-Plans-Linux-Build - Buy me an energy drink or become a member - The new GitHub account "Barney" first #gnulinux

💥 An Israeli doctrine became US counterterrorism policy and put an Italian server collective on the terror list For twenty-five years, a few dozen volunteers in Italy have run free email accounts, virtual private networks and Noblogs, a platform for activists who would rather not entrust their politics to Google or Meta. On 26 August 2026, the United States Treasury designated their collective, Autistici/Inventati, a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, placing a volunteer-run mail service in the legal company of al-Qaeda and Islamic State. 🟠 The Israeli Blueprint That Put an Italian Mail Server on America’s Terror List - READ MORE: https://21stcenturywire.com/2026/08/31/the-israeli-blueprint-that-put-an-italian-mail-server-on-americas-terror-list/ @My21wire #AusticiInventati

Nitter, the open-source alternative front-end that allowed people to read X without an account, without ads, and without the platform's tracking, has gone dark.

OpenVibe open-source desktop environment for agentic coding, built with Tauri and Rust. In my testing, it uses up to 4.5× less peak RAM than comparable Electron-based tools. The agent works directly with a real repository: it gathers context, creates a plan, edits files, runs commands, and shows its progress and tool calls directly in the chat. The application combines Monaco Editor, reviewable diffs, change rollback, Git, a terminal, LSP, MCP integrations, and a dedicated Chromium instance that the agent can control through CDP. OpenVibe runs locally and is not tied to a single AI provider. Users can connect a cloud API, a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a local model through Ollama, LM Studio, or vLLM. Builds are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0. GitHub: https://github.com/nihmadev/OpenVibe #ai
