Yeah, #Boeing employees are on strike in union plants (non-union ones are still working).
However, what is interesting is that Boeing’s quality issues started around 1997 after an acquisition/merger with a problematic company. Great article by @NPR!

As I have abandoned Android and am now daily-driving Gnome mobile / PostmarketOS on my OnePlus 6, I feel the urge to contribute to filling the app gap. Nobody seems to have asked for an app to record push ups and track progress, but that's what I want to accomplish now. Here are some first impressions of my Libadwaita app, which I call "Pushup Sessions":

A billionaire dumping waste in the river: "This is just the way I act when I'm free to do as I choose. Others are free not to drink from the river or to get into a shoot out with my private army."
An all white town lynching the only black family: "This is just the way we act when we're free to do as we choose. They're free to buy more guns to defend themselves against us."
A small town refusing service to the only trans person: "They're free to move somewhere else."
“A billionaire dumping waste in the river” is enabled by the coercive state.
“An all white town lynching the only black family” is enabled by the coercive state.
“A small town refusing service to the only trans person” is enabled by the coercive state.
It’s easy to imagine people already powerful in our society acting with impunity, because they already do right now, under the status quo of the coercive state. This is the antithesis of what anarchists are talking about when we discuss and advocate for freedom, which includes the freedom to resist these depredations.

@bagder what are your thoughts on providing dedicated `curl_easy_setopt` method for the value types it supports?
Languages like Swift don't support the macro, so folks have started writing shim files to work around this. Wonder if maybe this would be better to be a part of the API itself.

By popular request, #Voiceover no longer reads phone numbers of #WhatsApp group participants who aren’t in your contacts, and just reads the push name. You can still read the phone number on their contact info page, or by swiping up to the “message <phone number>” option in the actions rotor. This should make catching up with your groups much faster and more efficient! Thanks so much for your feedback, please keep sending it.

I'm not trying to criticize, just asking, but... why didn't this happen earlier?
What was the actual reasoning behind keeping it the way it was for so long? What were the blockers for this change?
I usually don't believe in the "people are stupid and don't know what they're doing" excuse, so there had to be something to it, right?
"[...]it turns out, we want computers that go with us everywhere. That’s the iPhone, [...]"
Not it's not. Because the iPhone can't be used as a computer. It's just an app runner where the applications are "curated".
(Android isn't better either).

Shout out to AccessNow folks and @Xeniax who helped to convince Meta to unblock #deltachat invite URLs in Facebook. Previously delta invite-links on Facebook were marked as "dangerous" and didn't work.
sidenote: if you send someone an invite-link, they can click it directly after they installed Delta Chat because they will be guided through the "create-profile" flow automatically and then be dropped into a chat with the inviter.
Some of the best advice I've gotten in recent years: "Don't wait to feel confident to do something new/scary. Instead, prepare. And then strive to be PRESENT when you do the new thing. And by doing that, you will build confidence."
For me this has been so true. I don't feel confident when I'm outside of my comfort zone; I earn confidence by going there. And I have the best experience outside of my comfort zone by being present and not worrying about how it's going.

THe whole idea of varchar types with a max length in SQL has always been really uncomfortable to me.
I get why we're doing this, but is it really the right thing to do for user-supplied data like real names, addresses, usernames or emails?
No, but there's nothing stopping you from using a very long limit in your own apps (like 32768). Or just using a text type, although some database UIs and web framework integrations will render those as multiline inputs by default.
Note that in SQLite, the max length is required, but ignored. And in Postgres, omitting the length gets you a text field, which may fool your web framework of choice into treating it like a char field even though it isn't one.

The push for an "age verification" requirement on the Internet is 1% aimed at protecting children and 99% aimed at controlling speech. It effectively bans anonymity, for starters.
It is a license to speak, and read.

J’ai besoin d’avis extérieurs. Quelqu’un qui a fait une variante propriétaire (freeware) d’un projet libre se justifie comme ça :
« Le problème avec tout ça c'est que l'on fait passer le “tout” libre comme étant le meilleur. Dans le sens radical du terme il favorise l'exploitation des plus faibles par les plus forts. »
À votre avis, c’est :

@pylapp @banux @hub C’est bien un projet GPL / CC-by-SA qui a été forké avec l’ajout d’une clause NC. Ils ne distribuent aucune source, et ils font disparaitre les mentions expliquant l’historique.
Et pour eux, parce qu’ils diffusent sans demander rétribution (mais sous restriction NC quand mème), c’est « suffisamment libre » pour que seuls des « libristes radicaux » puissent y trouver à redire.
Le problème c’est donc moi et pas eux. Même les responsables du projet d’origine laissent faire.
@hub @pylapp @banux Non, bien sûr. Ça n’est pas tant pour l’aspect légal que je m’interroge (n’ayant aucun doute à ce sujet), mais sur l’aspect moral : comment peut-on défendre ce point de vue, et comment cela peut-li être accepté par les modos restants du projet initial.
Je finis par me dire que le projet initial est complètement mort, et qu’il ne reste plus personne n’ayant une quelconque culture libriste dans l’équipe, et donc que tout le monde s’en fout.
How dare Taylor Swift, a celebrity (!), wade into politics...

What a strange thing we do to our young people in this culture and time.
We make them spend several years learning things that they often have no interest in, that they have not chosen and that they will in many cases never use again. We tell them that these things are vitally important.
Then we sit them in rows and make them write about the things they can remember for an intense few hours. We compare what they have written down with everyone else of the same age, and then we rank them.
We make them wait a couple of months and then we tell some that they are the successes, and others that they are the failures. We encourage them to hang their self-worth on how they performed. Newspapers publish pictures of the delighted, whilst the disappointed hide their heads in shame.
We tell them that these results will determine the rest of their lives – and then we set up systems that make this true. We provide fewer opportunities for those who did not succeed. Those who did well can take their pick of courses, whilst those who did not are made to take the same tests again and again, just to hammer it home.
We make sure that young people spend the majority of their adolescence focused on exams and under pressure. Every summer, they sit in rows and try to remember. Each year, they’re told that their whole future rests on this.
Many of them inevitably cave in under the pressure. They become anxious and depressed. They show signs of burnout by the age of 16. They lose their spark, and just go through the motions. Some of them retreat altogether.
Then we pathologise them, say that they need mental health treatment or to become more resilient. We send them for therapy or give them medication. We say that they are the problem, whilst the system carries on unchanged.
What if instead we stopped to think about what we are doing to our young people?
Adolescence is a time of opportunity and vulnerability. It’s a one-off stage of life. What if we asked ourselves, should our young people really spend these years on a conveyor belt of high stakes exams?
Imagine we allowed ourselves to look beyond this time and place, and to see just how strange this really is. What would we do then? Dr Naomi Fisher
Van Aubel's theorem states that if you start with a convex quadrilateral and construct a square on each side, externally to the quadrilateral, then the line segments connecting the centers of opposite squares will be equal in length and perpendicular to each other.
