I met with Prime Minister Fiala to celebrate the Czech Republic's 25th anniversary in NATO and our defense partnership.
We discussed support for Ukraine because Czechs know Putin’s ambitions don't end there.
Together, we're committed to bolstering freedom for people everywhere.

Back in 2020, during grant-funded work on the next-generation pip resolver, @sprblm did fascinating user experience research & design work. pyfound.blogspot.com/search/la…
They wrote several useful documents that took a while to get merged, but now live in pip's documentation! Like:

It was so valuable to get to work with UX experts on pip. Example: github.com/pypa/pip/issues/837… their research findings helped us improve the format and content of the "ResolutionImpossible" error message, so users could actually work out what went wrong and how to fix it.
There's a wealth of information in the resources that Superbloom (formerly Simply Secure) developed.

The thing I want to shout from the rooftops is: THIS IS POSSIBLE.
#opensource projects can hire UX experts, who gather quantitative & qualitative data, and who then recommend specific choices. Maintainers don't just have to guess how to design good, usable features and interfaces.
Yes, even for command-line tools.
Yes, even without a big company running the project. We got grants: pyfound.blogspot.com/2019/12/m…

The U.S. government is warning that smart locks securing entry to an estimated 50,000 dwellings nationwide contain hard-coded credentials that can be used to remotely open any of the locks. The lock's maker Chirp Systems remains unresponsive, even though it was first notified about the critical weakness in March 2021. Meanwhile, Chirp's parent company, RealPage, Inc., is being sued by multiple U.S. states for allegedly colluding with landlords to illegally raise rents.

Support for RFC 9421 - HTTP Message Signatures in #curl ?

Hello, Is there any interest to add support for RFC 9421 - HTTP Message Signatures to curl ? I saw that curl already support AWS Signature v4 (with --aws-sigv4), and I feel this RFC is a generaliza...GitHub
That would be super awesome!
One thing that I'd like to ask, if it's not too much trouble - a major user of HTTP signatures is the fediverse, although the most common version used is draft-cavage-http-signatures rather than RFC 9421, and the two versions are incompatible (quoted header keys, different header structure to express the signature value). Misskey has a proposal to express the supported version in nodeinfo, although for legacy applications being able to use the older standard would provide value as well.
HTTP signatures are widely used in the ActivityPub ecosystem, including by Mastodon. swicg.github.io/activitypub-ht…
Convenient support in curl might make it easier to test some ActivityPub server functionality, although different ActivityPub implementations currently require different versions of the HTTP signature standard (see the above link for details).

Okay legit confusion here and asking for clarification.
I saw something that said that transgender can be seen as an "umbrella" term for both binary-adjacent folks (trans men + women) and non-binary folks (like those who are gender fluid and gender queer).
Does this match people's understanding (and more importantly lived experiences?)
Source is from this post: instagram.com/p/C5MPL46SuIR/ (the person who shared it identifies as trans but is gender fluid)
infinitelydivinityMarch 31, 2024 on : "Why would I come out as non binary if I would only change half of my pronouns? Would it be redundant to tell ppl I'm non binary if I am s..."Instagram
Anyway sorry if this is more infor than you wanted, but
- In general, I think everyone in the community will recognize "transgender" as including not just "mtf"/"ftm" trans but also nonbinary people
- But if you ask within the trans community whether it includes gender-questioning and crossdressers, you will start an argument
- Probably it's best to think of "transgender" as a broad umbrella and use more specific terms if you mean that for some reason
- This may change again someday
