“Georgia Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff told a voter in Georgia on Friday that he ‘strongly’ agrees that President Donald Trump needs to be impeached.”
“‘There is no doubt that this president’s conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment by the United States House of Representatives,’ Ossoff told the audience … adding later that there is ‘no question’ a number of Trump’s actions have risen to the level of an impeachable offense.”
“‘I like you, and I will vote for you if you are brave, and you do what we need,’ she said. ‘We need him [Trump] to be impeached. We need him to be removed.’”

“On Elephants,” from fellow GNOME Foundation Director (and long-time, valued contributor) Allan Day
blogs.gnome.org/aday/2025/04/2…
As noted by Allan, the post is his personal view and not an official position of the GNOME Foundation board. That said, I personally feel like it includes important context and is well worth a read.
@brainblasted oh... Is it written somewhere? Reading on the CoC procedures, there's the "Final warning, temporary ban, or removal from leadership" option, which seems to fit the official announcement about removal of Sonny from Board of Directors and all committees. But nowhere can I find the duration of the temporary ban.

Late last year I supported the Kickstarter for JetKVM. This device is a tiny little IP-KVM solution. It’s basically a refined package of everything involved in a PiKVM. Connect HDMI & USB from a computer-to-be-controlled, and Ethernet. Then the web interface on the JetKVM device allows that device to be remote controlled using just a web browser from anywhere there’s IP connectivity.

Personally, I'd say a jury full of people whose friends and families have been murdered for profit are exactly the right kind of jury.
You know, a jury of our peers, just like it says in the Constitution. If you have to hunt for exceptional people, whose lives are unusual, they're not our "peers."

Hiring for Flatpak Automation
The desktop team in Red Hat has another open position. We’re looking for someone to work on Flatpak automation, for someone who enjoys working on infrastructure. Although the job description states 2+ years of experience, it’s suitable for juniors. Formal experience can be replaced by relevant open source contributions. Being onsite in Brno, Czech Republic is preferred, but not required. We’re open to hiring good candidates elsewhere, too.
If you’d like to know more about the job before formally applying, don’t hesitate to contact me on Mastodon, Signal, Matrix (@eischmann at fedora.im), or email.

onsite would be a clear no-go for anyone I know who's even remotely talented, even if they were within communting distance.
- Corporations forcing people to socialize is cringe af. Either one has a good culture and people want come together or not.
Not to mention it's ableist af to any non-neurotypical or disabled person.
- This ain't like TechSupport onsite at clients' datacenters or plumbing where it makes sense to have personnel onsite to be able to reach clients AFAP.
It's not a matter of money either. I did reject a position paying 50% higher... All I'd care is getting legally employed under German law for healthcare and tax reasons.
- Still wishing only the best of luck and success at filling said vacancy!

Right, so. Chrome is a horrible browser with a huge marketshare. It's well known that it spies on its users. They've recently decided that ad-blockers are bad so they released a new version of the add-ons system so ad-blockers can't work as effectively. Google has used it to forece through its own standards and practices despite anything that happens in the W3C standards body. Right, okay. So Chrome must die.
But how to kill it?

WAIT! I have a great idea!

sth seems wrong here, maybe a version was build incorrectly (though that's very unlikely), could you provide me with the direct link of the file that you downloaded?
Also maybe you still had the old version open, make sure you quit delta chat completely and then open the new version.
Ok, point taken. This was my upgrade sequence.
1. Follow the link you provided on your request for 1.58.0 testers.
2. Download the download.delta.chat/desktop/v1… file for my laptop.
3. Close Delta Chat Desktop on my laptop.
4. Install file via Package Manager.
5. Reboot my laptop.
6. Open Delta Chat.
