@bagder It was an amazing honor to receive this, thank everyone so much, and for your great speech at the event.

So yeah @gregkh received the prize for excellence in Open Source 2026. Post and photos will follow.
Just installed @delta and was under the impression that it was email based. I expected to have to put in some email credentials and use my local email server. But instead it created a disconnected profile and just uses IMAP as a transport?
delta.chat/en/help does not make clear how this actually works.
Decentralised is a great buzz word, but without better description of how it works makes it difficult to trust.
delta.chat/en/help#security-au… doesn't mention architecture, just encryption.

NDP MP calls on government to sanction Canadian companies doing business with ICE
cbc.ca/news/politics/ndp-mp-sa…
David "Chamberlain" Carney will just ignore this like he ignored the needs of Canadians.
Companies include Pattisson, Hootsuite and GardaWorld.
The headline could have put 'NDP MP Heather McPherson calls on...' in the headline.
I don't know if the CBC is trying to avoid giving extra attention to an NDP leadership candidate, or if they're just writing clickbait, or if the CBC avoids naming women as policy, or if their headline writers are just plain incompetent.
I don't know anything about Gulfstream jets but I'm now assuming they're death traps.

It feels like the alt text advice “describe what you see” being replaced with the alt text advice “don’t describe why you see” coincides a little too neatly with the rise of machine-generated alt text.
I’m always interested to hear from people who rely on this, though, and the common point being raised—AI just describing an image doesn’t tell the non-sighted reader what’s important or how it’s relevant to the post—is well-taken.
oh, man! that's a great idea. I'd listen to that.
I'd love her feedback on my descriptions, would love to know if I'm painting the picture adequately for you.
Cuando era profe intentaba contar un chiste malo nuevo cada semana, voy a hacer un hilo recopilatorio de los que consiga recordar. Se aceptan sugerencias.
"Entra Jesucristo en un bar y todo el mundo empieza a reírse, ¿por qué?
— Es la gracia del señor."
"¿Sabéis cómo es el wifi en el Vaticano?

All bags are packed, ready for take-off: Meet us this weekend at #FOSDEM – our stand is UD2-02 (where you can grab stickers, flyers, & more)! And make sure you don't miss the lightning talk (10 min) on our download statistics, by the fantastic Cat Ima @SylvieLorxu (14:00 at UB4.132). And if you're bored, be also welcome to my half-hour-long about Reproducible Builds for Android Apps (12:30 at UB4.132; that's the FOSS on Mobile devroom).
Looking forward to meet you! 🤗
I'm ready for the full FOSDEM experience from home.
(Including the flu++. Still not over it. 🤧)
Rate my setup:
- moderately cold and cloudy
- Belgian beer from the supermarket
- Brueghel posters in my office
- I have a waffle iron and am not afraid to use it
sadly, no nerds to share them with.
Definitely better than my FOSDEM flu simulation, which is in the third week, now requiring antibiotics, which means no beer for me.
You should share some pics of the beer and waffles! 😁
Statement from the Acting Commissioner of Competition on appeal court's ruling in Cineplex deceptive marketing case

Sometime the Government catches on the oligarchs and their scams. Here, the "online booking fee" from Cineplex.
Jeanne Pratt, Acting Commissioner of Competition, issued a statement following the Federal Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold a September 2024 ruling by the Competition Tribunal in a deceptive marketing case involving Cineplex.Competition Bureau Canada (Government of Canada)
Today was definitely a #Thursday.
I went to a dentist, and, as a result, I'll be getting a root canal on Monday... maybe... because we're supposed to be getting snow over the weekend, so what are the odds the office will be open?
I slipped and fell on the ice getting out of the car, got two items that were damaged in shipping, and you can't make this stuff up.
Also completely scrapped a project I was working on, because everything was just going completely wrong.
As a former K-12 technology educator, let me break this down for you. If a "toy" comes with an app, it isn't a toy; it's a data collection mechanism, and likely a brand loyalty engine.
Kids don't need these things. In fact, they're much, much better off without them.

in reply to Delta Chat • • •Mmmh I think the question would be: will there be more chatmail relays to choose from / will it be possibile to host one's own in the future?
Delta Chat
in reply to Tiziano • • •There are already more relays,
chatmail.at/relays lists some of them. This page is reachable through the "Use other server" option during profile creation. At the end of the page there is a link to chatmail.at/doc/relay/ with the documentation on setting up your own relay. You can also use any IMAP+SMTP server, especially if you already have one, but be aware of rate limits and spam filters, and you likely don't want to reuse your existing mailbox for chatting.

in reply to Tiziano • • •running your own relay is pretty easy -- I currently run two.
I have a list of over 100 relays, there are quite a few out there just not publicly advertised :)
