In #Switzerland, fine for a speeding driver is based (1) on how far over the limit the driver is going (2) on how much the driver earns.
One man caught driving his Ferrari at 137 km/h the in an 80 km/h zone in a village near St. Gallen was fined 300,000 Swiss Francs (today, $375,000 US).
The driver was clocked going 27 kilometers per hour over the speed limit on a street in the Swiss city of Lausanne, and now heβs facing more than C$153,000 in fines as a result. But he can afford it.
Ugh, that sounds really demoralizing. It sounds like you have skills that people are looking for and are doing the right thing with your resume, since you're getting quite a few interviews. I hope that one of them lands you an offer soon.
@MikeGorse I've had a few jobs I applied for that I didn't get to a screening process, but I've been doing at least two or three interviews a week, 9 two weeks ago, 4 last week
Despite backslash, Mozilla went ahead and added Perplexityβs AI option. Mozillaβs Firefox adds Perplexityβs AI answer engine as a new search option techcrunch.com/2025/10/14/moziβ¦
Mozilla is so disconnected from its user base. No wonder they are losing the browser battle. People chose Firefox for specific reasons such as privacy or no AI, yet they keep messing around. I fear they won't be around in a fewz years time. I wish to be prove wrong.
The integration offers conversational, cited answers instead of traditional links and follows positive feedback from earlier tests in select markets. Perplexity will expand to mobile soon.
NordVPN added a (long-awaited) GUI to its Linux app back in May. Now, the code for that front-end has been made open source to "better serve the Linux community".
NordVPN has open sourced the GUI in its official Linux app, and the company behind the virtual private network has also updated its Snap package with a GUI.
I'm so spoiled by Rust. Today's example: In Java's HttpClient API, is it safe to pass the same HttpRequest object to HttpClient.send more than once? Unless I missed something, the docs don't say. In Rust, that kind of thing is right there in the function signature; just check whether the function consumes the struct or only borrows it.
@MirSobhan that's a false dichotomy, and one I don't subscribe to. There's always room for a strong moral philosophy, even in a pragmatic position. The problem is when there's no intention of convincing people, but just bludgeoning them to death with shibboleths
A real-life anecdote from today on "convincing" people is that some researchers unaware that #Overleaf is on an #OpenCore model were delighted to hear about the #AGPL 'd branch - source [1] - example instance [2]. I did *not* try to convince anyone - I just pointed out the possibility and gave URLs. And a new (non-public) overleaf instance may be the result!
the FSF sees Free Software as a political goal, KDE sees this moment as an opportunity to grow their userbase. I think both approaches are useful. Pragmatism is good but it's also good that there's someone out there who will accept ZERO compromise.
@yearofthebug I'm not talking about "idealism vs pragmatism": I am talking about leading the conversation when it comes to software freedom. The FSF is not talking to actual people: it's just a circlejerk that is not meant to convince anybody except the already initiated
I agree, I guess I see their role as providers of resources and organization to the already initiated (mostly on the legal side) while leaving to other organization the winning over of new converts.
@yearofthebug that's a great way to become completely useless. I want the FSF to be a leading voice, not the moral justification on the back end of the movement.
A movement who can't bring people in will be useless but a movement without a strong political/teoretical justification will get lost along its way. I think we can observe this in the way "Open Source" has been widely accepted by corporation while "Free Software" has been memoryholed by the mainstream.
@yearofthebug that's just because Open Source has always been a great way for corporations to take advantage of the work of volunteersβsomething that now it's draining the volunteer pool and led to all the discussions on sustainability of the entire endeavour.
And yes: the free software movement has been impacted by FSF navel gazing, which is precisely what I'm complaining about.
The FSF has long ceased to be a leading voice on user freedom, but thatβs fine: there are many organizations doing that work now, in various areas and from different angles, just like the endof10.org example shows.

@NVAccess Hi, can I suggest an article, or maybe a theme for In Process? I've just seen that you changed NVDA's license from GPL2 to GPL2 or later. I've always been curious to know whether you remain satisfied with a Copyleft license up to this day, or you would choose a more permissive license if you could. I'm not sure whether it was Michael or James who choose GPL at NVDA's beginnings, maybe you could do an interview with one of them about this licensing subject as a whole, in which he could for example speculate about negative or positive effects of choosing a more permissive license.
@clv0 Great question, and one I don't have an answer to. We were thinking that the whole exercise of updating the license might be an interesting case study to share in future (and that question might fit in such an analysis) - although I would add that we haven't started planning such an article or anything just yet - though as and when we do, it would definitely be mentioned in our blog (subscribe at nvaccess.org/newsletter ) and almost certainly here as well.
I wonder why I just ... can't use the Zoom website at all on iOS. After going through the cookie consent screen, there are 0 readable controls with VoiceOver. Is Apple trying to hack around some terrible design convention and actually making it more terrible?

fun fact the federated, open source replacement for FCM #UnifiedPush can also be used with #XMPP as a transport with #Conversations_im as a 'distributor'.
The #UnifiedPush website now has a section for talks, including the one I gave at #Datenspuren in Dresden last month. Presentations and their video recordings are a great way to learn about new topics. Check it out: unifiedpush.org/talks/
The list below shows talks that have covered UnifiedPush. We thank these community members who have taken time and energy to spread the word about UnifiedPush!

@mynoise Iβm a weirdo who doesnβt use a smartphone, however I recently purchased a Fiio JM21 MP3 player (which runs Android 13) to use for music, podcasts, audiobooks, and I was hoping the myNoise Android app as well. I can install every other audio player app I want, but for some reason Google Play tells me that myNoise is not compatible with this device. Is there a reason for that or anything that can be done? I love myNoise so this is a little heartbreaking for me.
This is what efficiency looks like at scale: an open server design that speeds up technician workflows and cold aisle containment. They have ventilation grids in the raised floor that deliver cool air straight where itβs needed. The payoff? Reliable & seamless operation for hundreds of thousands of systems, optimal temperatures, and reduced energy consumption.

Is it possible to somehow read just first post of the conversation / threat in TV blue? I know that i can open the conversations buffer, but I see all conversations opened also in home buffer.
Ich habe seit lΓ€ngerem mal wieder in mein Tuta-Postfach geschaut und testweise eine meiner Domains eingebunden. Klappt soweit.
Nun wollte ich testweise alle Mails exportieren, der Vorgang bricht allerdings immer bei knapp 1900 exportierten Mails ab. Ich hab es knapp ein Dutzend mal probiert.
Gibt es eine Obergrenze fΓΌr den Export oder kΓΆnnte es eine bestimmte Mail sein, die den Fehler auslΓΆst? Wenn letzteres, wie finde ich diese?
