Die "LGBT-freien Zonen" in Polen sind endgültig Geschichte.
Heute hat der Łańcucki-Landkreis als letzte Gebietseinheit einen entsprechenden diskriminierenden queerfeindlichen Beschluss aufgehoben.

To koniec stref wolnych od LGBT. Ostatnia homofobiczna uchwała wylądowała w koszu

W 2019 roku politycy i działacze PiS wymyślili, że Polska będzie wolna od LGBT. Sześć lat później Polska jest wolna od homofobicznych uchwał, które zatruwały życie publiczne

“On Elephants,” from fellow GNOME Foundation Director (and long-time, valued contributor) Allan Day

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.

Predatory capitalist CEOs might want to meditate on this a bit.

Link: abovethelaw.com/2025/04/health…

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."

#Luigi #Healthcare #MurderForProfit #USHealthcare #Law

(Above the Law) via Fark Healthcare companies have ruined so many people's lives that it is impossible to find a neutral jury for the Luigi Mangioni trial. I guess we have to let him walk then Healthcare Companies Screwed Over So Many People That It's Hard To Find Luigi Mangione A Neutral Jury - Above the Law Maybe they can find a couple of cryogenically frozen folks to thaw and make a fair jury.

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.

Software Engineer - Enterprise Linux Workstation (Brno Office, Czech Republic)

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!

I understand, but the policy isn't something I can directly influence. However, it's a very soft preference. Our engineering has always been very distributed with many people working remotely, especially the desktop team where most people work remotely. I don't think it's a major obstacle. If we have two very similarly qualified candidates, we may prefer the one who can be in Brno, otherwise we'd just pick the better one no matter where they work from.

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!

Small correction: The crimson suite was created in 2023 already. See e.g. this librem5-base upload: source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5… and lots of packages were uploaded afterwards. There was a stall in between but the foundations for crimson are about 1y older.

The process of importing the #EV is finally over. It was pretty smooth on the Czech side except for a little drama at the technical inspection. Since I was buying it from an official dealer, I just checked the VIN code on the windshield, but the technical inspection needs to check the one sealed in the chassis and they couldn't find it. I had to call the German dealer and they had to ask the mechanics. It was under the carpet in the back of the trunk. 😅
