Despite the recent media reporting, #Windows installation with local accounts is working just fine. Create a regular Windows installation media and drop autounattend.xml to the root of the USB device and install it.
If the installation demands you to connect to the internet, you can bypass this part by pressing Shift+F10 and then entering oobe\bypassnro + <return>. After the installer restart, you'll have the "I don't have internet" option, and the installation will proceed.
EDIT: To clarify: While I did not test the latest insider build I believe this method will continue to work, even with it. I'll be sure to edit the post if this turns out to be incorrect.
Today is the second anniversary of October 7. I want to share some personal reflections about that day and the past two years. October 7 was, for me, a lightning bolt.
Outre la douleur et le dégoût bien compréhensibles exprimés ici par Zelda Williams (fille de Robin Williams), je trouve sa définition de l'IA générative particulièrement bien trouvée :
"World leaders who just a few years ago lauded Thunberg and rushed to share stages and photo-ops with her have said nothing. The climate scientists who hailed her moral clarity and feverishly retweeted her have ignored her. The prime minister of her own country has been silent. Thunberg has been abandoned by a fake progressive liberal class that hailed her courage and valorised her strength just a few short years ago" donotpanic.news/p/the-liberal-…
The Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has been detained by Israel and reportedly maltreated by her Israeli captors after she was kidnapped, along with hundreds of other activists, from Gaza’s territorial waters on Friday.
Une pensée pour tous les Juifs victimes du terrorisme le 7 octobre et leurs proches🕯️. Je pense à cette chanson interpretée par Keren Ann pour le film "Yossi".

Matrix has always been about cooperation. Germany's ZenDiS is taking it to the next level by working together with France and the Netherlands to create a cross-border collaboration suite for the public sector.
🇪🇺 Don't miss Alexander Smolianitski's talk at The Matrix Conference where he'll share how to create a more integrated European digital landscape. 🎟️ We have a few tickets left for the conference in Strasbourg next week - grab yours before we run out!
Join us for the Matrix Conference this October. The four day conference will take place in Strasbourg, France. Talks will be streamed live and virtual attendees will be able to ask speakers questions.
@aaron The Matrix.org Foundation is not only run by people who are vocally opposed to Chat Control, we are duty bound by our mission to oppose it much like we opposed the most egregious parts of the Online Safety Bill before the UK signed it into law.
We do some public advocacy, including raising awareness and signing open letters, and a great deal of advocacy behind the scenes.
If I made a series of videos about something, what would you like?
The Standard Model? Grand unified theories? Clifford algebras? The octonions? Entropy? Category theory? Quantum logic and projective geometry? Visually beautiful math?
These would all be easy, since I've got the material prepared. I don't want to explain something brand new - at least not until I've covered some of these. Each of these topics could take at least 10 videos.
(I've got a drawing tablet now, so I'm ready to make videos where I show slides of stuff and also write while I talk. It will take some practice to do it well. I thank @Garrett for offering to pay for the tablet. It proved unnecessary, but it helped push me into action.)
If you have considered applying for GNOME Foundation membership but were discouraged by our asking for a “full name,” we have news: we’ve updated our process and docs to clarify we don’t require members to submit a “legal name.”
As a diverse and global community, we know that the concept of names is far more complex than many realize. What’s important is that your Foundation membership reflects who you are and how people will recognize you in our community—that’s it.
Behind the scenes this required consulting with multiple lawyers specializing in US nonprofits and then updating our own documentation to clarify the requirements. The updated docs are:
If you notice anywhere else documentation could be clarified, please let us know—or even better, submit a merge request with the correction if you are able!
@Atirut great question! Membership is how contributors to GNOME can participate in the operation of the GNOME Foundation itself, including the ability to vote and run in Foundation elections for the board of directors, and to propose referenda.
Members also get a handful of other perks like a gnome.org email address and Matrix account, a hosted blog, access to our hosted video conferencing software, etc. You can read about the benefits here:
A range of benefits are available to GNOME Foundation members. This page provides information on how to access them. For general information on Foundation membership, including how to apply, see fo...
so to answer your question more directly: anyone who contributes to GNOME! Anyone making an impact e.g. through documentation, translations, QA, issue triage, outreach, design, app development, library development, or protocol design is invited to apply for Foundation membership.
On 14 October, the EU Council will vote on the CSA Regulation – legislation that would require email and messaging services to automatically scan private messages. Without cause, without suspicion.

Digital accessibility is a civil right of disabled people. In the United States and other countries, civil rights are baked into laws mandating accessibility.
This is a fantastic graph the likes of which should be hanging on the walls in schools and offices.
We all _know_ that the media coverage is skewed, and it's all understandable, but seeing a graph like this has the power of actually updating your brain a bit.

ja sa stým moc netoto trochu masla sol cierne korenie a na panvicu.. bol oveľa oveľa mastnejší ako ribeye čo bol od šéfkuchára. Z Kauflandu na test druhý krát ho už nekúpim asi.
Párkrát už jsem si takhle dělala rib eye a bylo to dobré .... hlavně ten česnek a čerstvé bylinky to hezky doladí ... a to máslo taky .... ještě bych to ráda zkusila s nějakou lepší flákotou od dobrého řezníka a ne ze supermaketu

As of now, I am no longer the author of more than half the lines added to the #curl repository. The "others" have overtaken me. I have now added less than half the lines.
Statistically, I think that means you'll be responsible for fewer bugs as well! Though, as the project leader, you still get all the blame for the bad stuff while everyone else gets the praise for the good stuff. 😅
Very cool accomplishment and a testament to your investment in mentorship and scaling yourself. Our egos often make it difficult to achieve what you have, so I think you deserve a lot of kudos for it. 💖
But I'll still ask you to fix my Internet-connected toaster... 😜
@bagder Yeah, I suspect the stats are odd because those countries are pretty low traffic so a small number of modern computers probably skew their stats. Looking at yesterday's stats for DPRK, the main client we saw was an iPhone running iOS 18.5 & using Chrome. There's a couple of Macs, a Windows machine and a couple of Android phones and that's about it. This is all assuming no GeoIP errors & ignoring VPN usage with out-of-country exits of course...
European SMEs have united to direct a strong open letter to urge ministers of EU member states to oppose Chat Control and to defend privacy and a strong European tech industry.
@NatureMC Personally I have my email hosted in Switzerland, which got something similar to chat control earlier this year, so I am looking to move. Iceland looks good.
Former minister of Justice, Marco Buschmann on X: "#Chatkontrolle ist so, als wenn man Briefe vorsorglich öffnet und man nachschaut, ob nicht etwas Illegales darin stehen könnte. Sowas hat im Rechtsstaat keinen Platz. Diese Linie habe ich als Justizminister durchgesetzt. Ein Kurswechsel wäre ein Jammer!"

there will always be other teams out there trying to make the next Arduino. not surprised if a few exist already
