Next week I will travel to #GUADEC #GUADEC2024 to Denver, CO, in the US.
Perhaps some of you have read my #OpenPrinting News from May where I tell that 2004 was a magic year and so we have a lot 20th anniversaries in FOSS now.
And the 2 keynotes on GUADEC are about 2 of them: Ryan Sipes, CEO of #Thunderbird @thunderbird and Stephanie Taylor, program lead of #GSoC!

... ein #Tipp für #Thunderbird-User:
wenn euer Arbeitgeber euch mit 3000 nutzlosen Mails am Tag zuballert, die über zahllose Mailinglisten von unterschiedlichen Personen geschickt werden, hilft ggf. folgender Trick.
Erzeugt einen #Mailfilter, der Mails, die nicht eure Mailadresse als TO, CC oder BCC enthalten (also die an eine Liste geschickt werden), in einen Ordner für nutzloses ZEUGS verschiebt.
Wenn ihr mehrere Mail-Adressen oder Aliase habt, müsst ihr diese auf gleiche weise dem Filter beibringen und "Alle Bedingungen enthalten" anklicken.
Falls ihr noch andere Filter habt, schiebt den ZEUGS-Filter ganz nach unten, sodass er quasi als letzter Filter verarbeitet wird.

So my local library's makerspace offered a free event where they brought in a bunch of old tower computers, printers, game consoles, etc., - laid out a bunch of iFixit toolkits - and let everyone (kids and adults alike) take everything apart!!!
One kid was hesitant because they didn't want to break anything and the library staff were like, none of it works. We're recycling and throwing everything out afterwards! Go hog wild, you won't get in trouble! You're meant to break it and take it apart!
The kid was absolutely enthusiastic and went to town!
I got to be a kid again and go into detail about all the computer parts and what each of the hardware did. It was awesome watching my children and other kids and adults interact, share tools, show off what they found.
I spoke with the organizer afterwards and asked if this was a regular thing and he said that he didn't have enough old equipment to make it regular. I laughed and said all of my friends have CLOSETS FULL OF THIS STUFF and the idea of giving it to a bunch of kids and adults to play with would bring joy and meaning to their life, lol!
I gave him the time to meet up with @fxbghackers and told him to make a community announcement about needing old electronics for donation to take apart and he'd get truck loads.
Just another way community helps each other out. This is post scarcity education.

You'd be joining a terrific team at a terrific time. And as one of I think 3 people who've had the role previously, I can attest to it being a great opportunity with huge impact.
Also - if past experience is any guide, despite a limit of 400 applications, this posting could still close very soon. So if you are interested in applying, get it in *today*!

Thunderbird 128 a la vuelta de la esquina
Ya puedes probar la versión Beta de Thunderbird 128, el potente cliente de correo de software libreVictorhck in the free world
Just updated #Thunderbird on my Linux desktop to 128.0beta, and it's nice and smooth.
Thank you, @thunderbird 👍
The only true hardship of testing Thunderbird beta is that the Toggle Word Wrap add-on is no longer compatible:
addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/t…
I depend on it when writing text emails containing code or formatted tables.
It's a niche usecase (mostly coders), but would be nice to have this as a built-in editor feature.
Pretty please from your loyal user and supporter? 😇🙏

That text is way to friendly about select().
On Linux, APIs are really not built anymore with select() in mind, i.e. the assumption is that fds are now cheap, and people throw around with fds a lot in newer apis (i.e. consider bpf apis, cgroupv2 apis, pidfds, which all use a lot of fds). This will backfire if you use select() however, badly, because of the 1K limit.
See my comments about select() here:
Welp, I got my answers and the Yen is at its weakest level in a third of a century so it looks like I'll be able to tell you how it works from a first-hand perspective in about 2-4 weeks' time.
(FreeWrite didn't appeal because it's cloud-reliant. This thing uses UTF-8 text files and an SD card. Also, I've been pining for a Pomera since I saw one in Japan in 2007. Add 18 years of incremental improvements to what is basically a Japanese business writing tool …)

The new Tony Blair Institute report on public sector automation savings classifies the potential to automate a task based on… how much GPT-4 classifies a task as automatable.

I’d like to propose splitting the “Non-Free Network Services” flag into two separate Anti-feature flags; “Non-Changeable Network Services” and “Proprietary Network Services”.F-Droid Forum
@IzzyOnDroid
> I prefer to stick with them – unless F-Droid decides on some different names and puts them live
That's sensible. I've put my naming arguments on the forum. We'll see if anyone there cares to engage with them.
But I agree that getting the flag separation rolled out is a much higher priority. Now I know it's a WIP, any energy I put in will be to help that rollout.
