So we JUST finished this panel on meaningful change and measurement for engineering organizations and you can already watch it, I am in awe of these thoughtful colleagues and grateful to have had the chance to share space with Liz and Lizzie and Jennifer! What a cool time.
Discuss how change theory can be used to drive cyclical interventions that build healthier cultures in software teams. Learn both theory and frameworks for i...

@matthew we had a chat before we opened our cafe about possibly being a Wonderstate cafe and my wife could operate a commercial bakery to provide all the products to their cafes but it wasn't a good fit at the time
My wife's scones, cookies, and cupcakes blow away the stuff sold in coffee shops. She has some very refined recipes.
I'll try to message you soon using DeltaChat to talk more. I've been following your posts on it. Haven't tried it out since then, though, and would like to.
@matthew It's much improved, but it's always disheartening to see the threads where people continue to make false assumptions about how it works or what is even possible in this ecosystem. A few of the remaining privacy checkboxes that concern people are going to be taken care of soon, and then they'll have to invent new reasons why it's not secure enough
Meanwhile they'll keep telling people they should use Signal which only makes sense if you can actually access Signal in your country. "The best" tool being designed in a way that makes it impossible to use by people who need it most is pretty goddamn stupid
Microsoft could potentially be about to give a bunch of people on Windows 10 a free additional year of support, if certain crazy requirements are met, this is crazy what the requirements are. windowslatest.com/2025/06/24/m…
Windows 10 support is NOT ending on October 14, 2025, if you’re ready to link your Microsoft account and sync Settings to the cloud. Adding a Microsoft account to Windows 10 will extend support until October 13, 2026.
Yet more of the microsoft account ridiculousness. I think it's nasty that they're locking their updates behind either an account or a cost. Either give us your data or have fun getting viruses basically. Eew
@Kaliah I mean every other OS besides Linux does this and has forever, hell Samsung requires both a Samsung and Google account now to keep anything working right. Windows will at least let you choose to back up to whatever storage you want, cloud or local/network.
@fireborn @dhamlinmusic This, and, at least in the apple ecosystem, it's technically possible to set up your device without an apple account, for all the good it'd do. And I don't believe apple's software updates are locked behind an apple ID sign-in, are they? That's my whole issue with Microsoft's thing right now. Security shouldn't be locked behind any conditions or obligations like this to hand over data.
Hey folks - for health reasons (mine, not hers!) I may need to soon re-home my amazing cat, Smalltalk! If you live in the SF Bay Area and might be interested, please ping me! She's truly a wonderful sweet creature! (She'd do best as an only pet.)
(Update 6/27: I’ve found a couple wonderful humans and am exploring options w them. Thank you all for your help!)
so, today I found out that it's confirmed. I've got until november to find work. The accessibility contract that the government had is no longer going to be renewed. The best part is, they're going to buy the accessibility tool and do all the work in house. But don't worry, people who have had no training in accessibility, who no nothing about html or wcag should be able to do the work just fine and it'll save a lot of money in the porcess! So, if anyone knows anyone that's hiring, please feel free to send them my way! My linkedin is: linkedin.com/in/krishnajariwal…

"“We’re not seeing that literacy that we would like to see when we compare ourselves to our global peers, and there’s some reluctance around trusting AI and really embedding it in how we perform our day-to-day work and how we work,” said Terril."
As countries around the world race to leverage artificial intelligence (AI), a recent study found that Canada is falling behind, although it’s not due to a lack of innovation, but growing uncertainty and a gap in public understanding, one expert says…
Ooof, that's really poor reporting from CTV, blithely accepting the survey's definition of "AI literacy" to include "embracing the use of AI in their daily working lives".
Literacy on "AI" should be defined by understanding what the technologies actually are (large language models, generative image models, etc), how they are dependent on their training data, their limitations in how they can generate plausible but inaccurate information, and their social & environmental impacts.
As Fozzie stood at the top step, he felt two tiny, webbed hands shove him from behind. He found himself cartwheeling through empty space, landing squarely on his back with a loud crack. As his vision dimmed, he heard a small, throaty voice from above. "Wokka wokka, motherfucker."
I had a great conversation with @baratunde on Life with Machines about the millions of data workers worldwide who produce the data that fuels AI. We dug into the scale of this labor, its deeply human costs, and the possibilities for something better.
AI may look like magic, but behind the scenes, it’s propped up by a vast human labor force. In this season finale of Life With Machines, Baratunde sits down ...
You’ve probably met Torx, the star-shaped screw that has become common in our phones, consoles, and cars. But have you met Torx Plus? It's the high-tech upgrade nobody told you about: straighter walls, zero cam-out, and way more torque transfer. Sounds great, until you try to open your gadget and realize your trusty T5 doesn’t fit anymore.
Trust me, if it happened in Ontario, it happened here in Québec, and across Canada! Corporate lobbyists and apologists for corporate landlords and investors are trying to say they're not to blame for the housing crisis.
If you're a landlord renting out a property for 3x-5x what it would've rented for ~5 years ago, you're the problem, too.
And you should be ashamed of yourself.
Your tenant shouldn't pay all your bills w/ the rent they pay...
China installs more solar in 1 month than the total energy the US uses
China installed its highest solar power capacity for a single month in May.
back-of-the-envelope calculations, 71 GW is more power than the entire US uses (on average). This is why our electricity is, on average, 2.5-3 times more expensive. This will lead to advantages in AI, production, etc. Cheap energy = cheap everything else.
China set a global record by installing 93 GW of solar capacity in May, surpassing any other country's full-year total, though growth is expected to slow due to new regulatory changes.

@ZBennoui Pretty sure he just shootts them outu as he gets them. I've tried interacting to him (After using picture smart) and I get criketts. LOL I still do it, though, just in case he's the time to sit down and red through them becausse some are humorous on purpose. LOL
American public approval used to surge after something like this to show either some real or fake patriotic support, then ebb when reality (and US deaths) roll in.
That Trump has this level of disapproval now is a bad sign for him and a great one for sanity, because regardless of how you feel about the countries involved, he possesses no sanity or demonstrated ability to handle a complex situation.
Are you surprised Trump moved so quickly to try to force a ceasefire? Read this striking new survey data, and you won’t be. Americans don’t trust him to wage a long war.
#Firefox Progressive Web Apps sind ne praktische Sache.

Considering how GNOME Color Manager's support for calibrating scanners (and printers?) has been broken for many years, and how it seems like the remaining code might get ripped out entirely from GNOME Control Center as a result, I have filed a new #GNOME app idea, in the wild hope that someone might find this interesting enough to create a standalone utility app for creating ICC color profiles for your photo scanners and printers: gitlab.gnome.org/bertob/app-id…
I searched far and wide for standalone calibration tools and they are either nonexistent or extremely hard to use (and typically commandline stuff requiring obscure arcane knowledge). Even...
@hub Hmm I don't think I mentioned display calibration in this app idea ticket, but I sure do wonder on a regular basis how DisplayCAL will fit in the new Wayland color management system, and about its general state of development/maintenance. I haven't kept a close watch on it in recent times, as I presume there's a lot of dust up in the air until the new Wayland color management middleware fully lands?
A few weeks ago, @joshbressers managed to hook me up to his mic. And then couldn't manage to stop me.
He still managed to get an amazing podcast episode about what it is to be a hobbyist maintainer, why it matters to talk about it and how failing to understand this is why nearly all policies around FOSS fail to move the needle.
You can listen to it and then come tell me what you think
Thomas DePierre joins Open Source Security to discuss the central idea from his blog post, “You are all on the hobbyist maintainers turf now,” exploring the massive disconnect between the corporate world that consumes open source and the hobbyist com…
I believe agreed with just about everything you said there... The challenge with funding projects who have maintainers with full-time jobs is something I frequently mention to people who talk about OSS funding.
i have always insisted that the best way for most to contribute to a specific (few maintainer) projects sustainability is usually by offering actual helping hands and minds. But that's also harder because that takes skill, knowledge and energy.
In a recent CNN report, skepticism surrounds the Trump Organization’s claim that its new “T1” smartphone is “Made in the USA.” Experts, including Todd Weaver, CEO of Purism, challenged the claim, citing striking similarities between the T1 and a low-cost Chinese phone, the Revvl 7 Pro 5G, made by Wingtech, a Chinese manufacturer.
Weaver emphasized the logistical and technical difficulty of building a phone in the U.S.
Purism makes premium phones, laptops, mini PCs and servers running free software on PureOS. Purism products respect people's privacy and freedom while protecting their security.
@draeath @Seb_Solon its in many more cars too, not only the Android ones. A few years ago, curl was used in some 22 well-known car brands. Virtually every car made in the last few years run curl.
@buherator I believe said person had a problem and while desperately trying to find someone to contact, they find my email address in a screen on their infotainment system. A screen listing the curl license (among many others).
I first discovered your blog through the „I have Toyota Corolla“ post and just noticed you’re actually keeping an email archive. This is the most enjoyable thing I’ve seen today and I’d like to thank you for it 😅
They should add "-k" in the option list of the line with subprocess.call(["curl", "https://tankfloat.local/status"]) in tank-display.py. Presumably the certificate has simply expired. *scnr*
hey I have a problem with my dog. There is a lady dog in the neighborhood and he keeps on chasing her, specially while she is on heat. Then I use the GPS on his collar to track him. In the App I found your address, so you must be the right person to ask: how can I train my dog not to chase female dogs?
@superviviansunshine the car probably has the cURL license in the mediaplayer or elsewhere, which contains @bagder 's e-mail address, so he gets these random car support requests from time to time. Several more in his blog
My brother-in-law knows someone who can fix it. And he is in Trinidad right now as that is where my wife’s family are. From reading the email I’m guessing he is from Venezuela - loads of people escaping from Maduro.
