"... autocratic regimes have slowly turned their repressive mechanisms outward, into the democratic world. If people are naturally drawn to the image of human rights, to the language of democracy, to the dream of freedom, then those concepts have to be poisoned.
It ... requires an offensive plan: a narrative that damages both the idea of democracy everywhere in the world and the tools to deliver it."
"Here is a difficult truth: A part of the American political spectrum is not merely a passive recipient of the combined authoritarian narratives that come from Russia, China, and their ilk, but an active participant in creating and spreading them. Like the leaders of those countries, the American MAGA right also wants Americans to believe that their democracy is degenerate, their elections illegitimate, their civilization dying. The MAGA movement’s leaders also have an interest in ..."
"pumping nihilism and cynicism into the brains of their fellow citizens, and in convincing them that nothing they see is true. ... it is hard to distinguish between the online American alt-right and its foreign amplifiers who have multiplied since the days when this was solely a Russian project."
"One could call this a secret authoritarian “plot” to preserve the ability to spread antidemocratic conspiracy theories, except that it’s not a secret. It’s all visible, right on the surface."
"Russia, China, and sometimes other state actors—Venezuela, Iran, Hungary—work with Americans to discredit democracy, to undermine the credibility of democratic leaders, to mock the rule of law. They do so with the goal of electing Trump, whose second presidency would damage the image of democracy around the world, as well as the stability of democracy in America, even further."
"... these autocracies have come together, not around particular stories, but around a set of ideas, or rather in opposition to a set of ideas. Transparency, for example. And rule of law. And democracy. They have heard language about those ideas—which originate in the democratic world—coming from their own dissidents, and have concluded that they are dangerous to their regimes."
"This is the core problem for autocracies: The Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, and others all know that the language of transparency, accountability, justice, and democracy appeals to some of their citizens, as it does to many people who live in dictatorships. Even the most sophisticated surveillance can’t wholly suppress it. The very ideas of democracy and freedom must be discredited—especially in the places where they have historically flourished."
"... an internal Chinese memo, known enigmatically as Document No. 9—or, more formally, as the Communiqué on the Current State of the Ideological Sphere—listed “seven perils” faced by the Chinese Communist Party. “Western constitutional democracy” led the list, followed by “universal human rights,” “media independence,” “judicial independence,” and “civic participation.”

Komentár ku #Stromček a jeho domček (za 5 mega) od #DenníkN:
"Celé to teda smrdí „našimi ľuďmi“. Za pozornosť stojí, že z mimovládok, ktoré rozkrývajú podozrivé pomery bývalého top predstaviteľa Smeru, chcú urobiť zlých zahraničných agentov, a on si svoj majetok užíva kde? Na zlom, skazenom Západe ako všetci jemu podobní."
1. Moskva sa k nám správa nepriateľsky. 2. Zabudli ste na manažéra Stromčeka? Ďakuje za opýtanie, má sa nad pomery. 3. Ešte sa ani nezačali snažiť a v rebríčku slobody médií sme už spadli o 12 miest.

The LibreOffice Google Summer of Code projects have been selected for 2024. Adam Seskunas – More and better tests: the project aims to add automated tests for fixes related to document export as well as converting tests written in Java to C++.
@macallik Hi! You can submit enhancement requests here: bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. To get a new feature more quickly, you can consider helping our volunteers, or funding a developer. Thank you ☺️👍
please, please stay away from Google. Please don't help Google polish their image by participaing in any Google event, not in summer and not in any other season. Google is not your friend.
At 41.4%, Donald Trump's favorability rating is the lowest in the Decision Desk HQ/thehill average since last December. Trump's net favorability rating of -13.0% is lower than Joe Biden's for the first time since last August.
Slides from my curl-up 2024 presentations. The videos are better if you want to understand them, but in case you like better resolution, here they are:
Kdyz jsem se pred par lety vracel z Italie, dorazil jsem misto Jablonce do Liberce. Muj duvod byl v zasade rychla obnova Liberce po covidu. Delo se tam spousta akci, vsude lidi, oteviraly se nove podniky... mezitim v Jablonci chcipnul pes.
O vikendu mi to rozhodnuti tak nejak potvrdila kulturni nastenka. Schvalne, najdete co se deje v Jablonci? A neni to zalezitost jedne plochy. Kolem prehrady je to jeste tristnejsi.
Very early #OnThisDay, 6 May 1944, Marguerite 'Peggy' Knight parachutes into occupied France to be a courier for the Special Operations Executive. The British SOE supported the French resistance.
Knight fought her way out of an attempted capture, and returned to the UK in September 1944.

After several years’ hiatus, we’re doing another #DrupalCon Nonprofit Summit in PDX on Thursday! I will be at DC tomorrow through Thursday. Looking forward to seeing some of you folks soon! drupal.org/association/blog/dr…
Was curious why only one #Drupalcon session was accepted from our entire company, when normally there are at least three or four. However, looking at the program, I see there are six sessions about #AI scheduled for today alone.
Brought to the curl-library list on March 7, 2024. Discussed since then. No particular objections have been heard except the worry that apple device people might miss Secure Transport.
Once #13539 ...
sorry, I‘m abroad and have no access to my GitHub account RN: you mention only bearSSL and the Apple library in the linked ticket. Wasn’t mbedTLS on the drop-list as well? Or does mbedTLS 3.x support TLSv1.3 now? I’ve yet to look into 3.x as I’m using 2.28.x in several projects and AFAIK that does not support TLSv1.3...
See #12876.
Question, where in the documentation can I write down the information that the required version of the mbedtls library is 3.6.0?
Should the tests be modified?
@dec_hl The version of mBedTLS with 1.3 support is huge. The focus seems to have shifted from Trusted Firmware, where you're running a small codebase at boot time, not tiny embedded systems.
We moved from mBedTLS to BearSSL because recent mBedTLS's new code size is larger than the total amount of RAM on the devices I care about.
Curl is also larger than I'd want to run on these devices (much less than 1 MiB of RAM in total), so that shouldn't be a problem.
I would love to see a from-scratch tiny QUIC library for embedded devices so that we could remove TCP support entirely.
with tiny-curl I aim to provide a HTTPS GET-centric libcurl build at around a 100K foot-print (on a 32 bit arch) - which is possible with wolfSSL (at least)

I've updated my Sonos #accessibility blog post with more information. This includes a link to a statement issued today by Sonos, and info on dialogue I've been having with their product team. mosen.org/sonos2024

I don't feel like this puts much of a dent in my opinion of the situation, personally. Committing to fixes seems like the bare minimum, and they seem painfully unaware of how bad the experience is right now, so I'm not sure if I trust them to actually release a usable produt in late May. Meanwhile, tons of people will not see these discussions and will update their apps, only to find them nearly unusable. If they can't do the bare minimum to get the app to a usable state for us, it shouldn't be released at all. There's no way they don't have the technical resources to delay this by a few days so they don't end up leaving users with a brick. If the app were a standalone product, I wouldn't care; but it's an app that acts as a gateway to potentially thousands of dollars of tech. Any more than 0 days of unusability is completely inexcusable from a company like Sonos, and they should either be delaying the release or issuing affected users with some level of compensation. This isn't some independent basement developer who made a dumb mistake, this is Sonos.
