A few weeks ago, @mekkaokereke was telling you of our love of the English language in #Nigeria, and how we're unafraid of being eloquent. Need proof? Check out these "pithy" placards from the demonstrations currently going on in the country.
"Reverse all anti-people, neoliberal policies of privatisation, deregulation and devaluation of the Naira!"
Rolls off the tongue.

Ano, pravdu měl ten, kdo tady psal 'winter is coming'! 😱
V pět ráno je chladno, je šero, je syrový vzduch.

I heard a discussion at #FOSSY24 regarding "FOSS outside of corporations," referring to the origin of the Free and #OpenSource software movement, beginning with hobbyists and foundations.
Thought I would also include the early contributions to FOSS from and through #HIgherEducation. Many foundational projects have their roots in #HigherEd.
So many people have worked on curbing climate change.
What have we got to show for it?
For starters: The projected warning has decreased by 0.9C. That's considering only actually implemented policies. Pledged emissions cuts go even deeper.
Is it enough?
No.
But we've gone from "It's all going to hell" to "We made good progress let's keep going, and faster."

There's a project that has been going around today that uses an LLM to insult someone based on their GitHub profile. I admit I got caught up in the "fun" of this, and didn't think about how sad it is that we think it's cool to tear down each other or even ourselves.
Until I came across this contrasting project by @cadey, which instead uses an LLM to praise someone based on their GitHub profile: praise-me.fly.dev/

Anyone who claims one shouldn't talk about other options because *thing* exists.. is just wrong.
It's weird that this happens in computing discourse, because relying 100% on one thing always leads to tears eventually.
Even weirder when it happens in FOSS circles, as FOSS is supposed to be all about alternatives and freedom of choice. It's like a few people actively want there to be monopolies? (Assuming it's not people from a project shilling for themselves of course.)
#curl's 265th command line option is called --skip-existing. Lets you completely skip a download if there is a local file present already.

SCAM ALERT: Data centers bring practically zero local jobs. They are a tax break scam everywhere they operate.
"Washington lawmakers approved a tax break for data centers to create more jobs in rural Washington, but they can’t say how many jobs the state actually got. Repeated expansions turned a modest program to bring a budding industry to rural areas into one of the biggest corporate tax giveaways in the state."

A Tax Break for Washington Data Centers Promised Jobs. Is It Paying Off?
Companies have saved $474 million since 2018, with most of the windfall going to Washington-based tech giant Microsoft. Lawmakers repeatedly expanded who qualifies, and they lowered the number of jobs expected in return.ProPublica

This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.
To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.

in reply to David Njoku • • •In fact, in #Nigeria we had a politician who was a prototype Boris Johnson - a comedic bombast who spewed Latin phrases liberally without a care whether his listeners understood a word he was saying.
Unlike Britain tho, we (and he) knew he was a clown and we didn't make him Prime Minister.
