The US is threatening #Canada (again) if we don't but their F-35s. Here's what Denmark said about the ones they bought, and regret buying:
"They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies."

Here are three lines from my AGENTS.md that make agents a lot better with Go.
Go has great CLI tools, but many people don't know about them, and so agents are not trained to reach for them.
Maybe the Go project should maintain a Go development skill?
This is a general problem with agents, not just in GO. They really like editing project files by hand, which often means that they install old versions of some dependencies.
I always have to explicitly ask them to use dependency management tools instead of manual file editing.
Sometimes marketing is the hardest challenge. I'm working on the App Store app preview screens for the Loops app, what do you think?

On the run up of #DataPrivacyDay we've asked the Tuta Community about your preferred Google alternatives.
Here's what you said about your favorite browsers! 🎉
Vivaldi should be totally avoided since it is proprietary software that is unethical and unjust. Also with source code unavailable it can also contain backdoors and surveillance.
I don't know whether Brave have software freedom issues or not, but it is unavailable in almost all free GNU/Linux distributions' official repositories, including but not limited to Debian, Trisquel, Guix, Parabola, etc. Therefore there should be software freedom concerns with Brave and you should be careful.
Firefox is also proprietary software, and you should avoid the binary distributions of Firefox by Mozilla. However, Firefox can become free software as long as it gets its name changed - Firefox's source code is under MPL, and what makes Firefox proprietary is only its trademark. So you can try Iceweasel, GNU IceCat, or you can build your own browser from Firefox's source code with its trademark stripped out.
LibreWolf, Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser are ideal choices.

Da MUSS es sich um einen orchestrierten Angriff statt um einen eigenen Fehlgriff handeln.
Jeder macht mal einen Fehler und greift daneben. Das an sich ist nicht schlimm. Der Umgang damit, werter Herr Blume, macht aber den entscheidenden Unterschied.
Jetzt beleidigt zu sein, statt nur ein Wort der Versöhnung zu finden, setzt da meiner Meinung nach nur noch einen drauf. Das ist schade.

So, yesterday sucked.
I've had a toothache that comes and goes for the last little while. It reached new excruciating levels last night, and I essentially became nonfunctional for all intents and purposes. Finally got some sleep, and feel a little better this morning.
So, today, I get to see what my options are for dealing with this while outside of network.
Looking forward to all the discussions we will have in #Brussels! See you there!

Man hat ja häufig das Problem, dass man sich große Vermögen schlecht vorstellen kann. Hier ein Versuch, das zu umgehen.
Wenn eine Pflegekraft Vollzeit arbeiten würde, bräuchte sie 971.428 und ein halbes Jahr, um das Vermögen zu erwirtschaften, das die BMW-Erb*Innen Klatten und Quandt heute besitzen.
Das ist dreimal die Zeit, die der Homo sapiens existiert oder die Hälfte der Zeit seit der Erfindung des Faustkeils.

Ich finde auch Folgendes anschaulich:
Stell dir vor, jemand gibt dir jede Sekunde einen Euro. Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf... Nach einer Stunde sind das 3600€, ein guter Monatslohn.
Für eine Million Euro brauchst du damit etwa 12 Tage.
Für eine Milliarde brauchst du etwa 32 Jahre.
Um bei heutigen Multimilliardär*innen anzukommen:
Für 50 Milliarden (Klatten, Quandt) brauchst du etwa 1500 Jahre.
Für 200 Milliarden (Musk, Bezos) brauchst du etwa 6000 Jahre.

Contributions of governments to #OpenSource are often unsustainable - fragmented, short term subsidies, feature work or new things. Nothing shifting billions of tax money from Big Tech to open source!
The public sector should work with existing communities that have managed a sustainable financial model. Commit to deploy these & shift real procurement money!

I had to check my carry-on bag as there was no room for it on the flight from YOW->YUL->BRU.
My carry-on didn't make the transition in Montreal & I got an email confirming that it should arrive tomorrow.
I'm now caught in a loop.
I can't seem to either "Report your delayed bag" or contact someone at #AirCanada to have it delivered..
I keep getting "Unable to locate delayed baggage file with provided information."
But were using the information they provided in the email about my luggage.
Today I would like to introduce you to another audio player for Windows. As I understand it, the developer originally wrote this for his own use but has decided to share it. I am very glad that is the case.
The player is called FastPlay, so if you've been paying attention as to what is going on, you will know that this comes from the same developer as the social media client Fast-SM, which many of us are now using. That tells us two things: the app is going to be excellent and suggestions are very much considered.
This is a very small, lightweight, audio player. That means it is designed to be a small file size to download. That is important. I downloaded an app recently which contained approximately 5000 files comprising 500 MB which was absolutely crazy for the job at hand. This is just over 2 MB in size.
In order to describe some of its features, I can do no better than quote from the Readme file.
Fastplay is a very lightweight, simple, yet powerful and flexible media player for Windows. It is designed to be accessible, minimalistic, yet powerful, all at the same time. It is also very small, and fast and responsive.
Note! Fastplay is not designed to be a replacement for a complete media player. Rather, it's designed to be a small, lightweight media player that you can either use seriously or for fun! It has a vast list of effects including an EQ, reverb, echo, tempo/pitch, stereo width, and more, which you can adjust in realtime. End of quote.
I think that may have been the case when that statement was written, but it has evolved into including some very nice options indeed, such as:
Completely configurable Global hotkeys.
The ability to have the screen-reader speak events through keystrokes, such as elapsed time, remaining time etc, Control+Shift+E and Control+Shift+R.
Load all files in folder when pressing Enter.
You are able to set default file types. All of these are achieved through the Options dialog and there is an extraordinary amount of configuration in there.
Bookmarking of playback position in files.
A Radio menu currently allowing you to add stations if you have the URL. Searching for stations using various sources is also available. RadioBrowser is a very good starting point.
The ability to record the output from stations. This is a nice one. Some of us have used Tapin Radio for this previously. But the accessibility of that over the years has been somewhat questionable. Of course FastPlay is completely accessible. Not only that, but you can schedule recordings too.
It is possible to search for (and subscribe to) podcasts using Apple's iTunes directory. The vast majority of podcasts can be found there. The facility to add specific URL's pointing to podcast feeds can also be added.
There are many more features which you can explore and customise through the options, activated with Control+Comma.
End of Part 1.
FastPlay Part 2.
If you do not wish to have the track title and artist displayed in the window title, this can be disabled, again in Options. However, you can press numbers 1 through to 0, above the letter keys, to cause the screen-reader to recite playing characteristics. For example when listening to an internet stream, press number 1 for the song title and artist. Add the Shift key to any of those numbers to display the information in an edit field for checking spelling or copying to the clipboard.
One interesting concept is the Virtual Sliders. You can configure which options appear as part of the sliders through Options, Effects.
The concept is that you press the left and right bracket keys to move between the effects, then use up and down arrow keys to adjust the focused effect.
For example, if Tempo was enabled, a good option to adjust for listening to talking books or podcasts, you would select this with right bracket and adjust with the up and down arrow keys.
This app has only been available for a few days but like Fast-SM shows an enormous amount of promise. If you've been using other players and experienced navigational difficulties especially, it is worth serious consideration. Take a look at Options, Control+Comma, as a starting point because there is so much configuration you can do. I've already extensively customised it myself.
