Darl McBride has passed away. If you are a Linux fan/advocate/user of a certain age, that name probably stirs some feelings - none of them good.
The SCO debacle was a real eye-opener about the depths that people are willing to go to for money. There's cut-throat, take-no-prisoners business... and then there's outright shameless malfeasance.
It was, at least for me, the end of starry-eyed optimism that FOSS would change the world without being changed by it in return.
ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO FIGHT FOR US?!?
Federal language watchdog urges anglos to fight François Legault on English education.
Raymond Théberge says the CAQ has gone too far by targeting English school boards and English universities.

@fexplorer What do you mean exactly? uploading images you mean? or like providing translations or something?
uploading on the mapcomplete panoramax instance can only be done via mapcomplete.org and adding images on individual images.
if you want to record many images (for actual street imagery), then you'd have to upload to a different instance (like panoramax.openstreetmap.fr )
For those who don't understand how Americans relate a waffle restaurant to weather events:
Waffle House restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They do NOT close for ANY reason except impending catastrophe.
So when Waffle House reports that all locations in a city have been closed due to weather, that area is most likely fucked after the storm is over.
During the last weeks @vsz and me worked on curl's CI performance and reliability. We are pleased.🙂

It's same for Windows application, you need the most expensive trusted certificate on a physical medium to sign Windows binaries to avoid the"dangerous app warning".
On Windows it's just not that strict. Yet.
I did both and Widnows is more expensive and more painful to release software.
I assume you only need to pay Microsoft if you publish your app via the Windows app store? I can effortlessly run trivial Windows executables I downloaded from the internet.
One warning message is OK, but I'd hate having to go into a terminal to shut down security on a deep level, just to be able to run something.

So it was only a hundred years ago - 1924 - when someone figured out the Sun, and all the rest of the stars, were made mostly of hydrogen with some helium. All the other elements were in trace amounts.
She was a student at Harvard named Cecilia Payne.
At the time the consensus was stars were made up of pretty much what Earth was made of.
It took 4 more years for a man to confirm the discovery before it was widely accepted, with him as discoverer.
It's all hers now.
"A una década de la noche aciaga de Iguala, cuando policía municipal asesinó a tres estudiantes, detuvo y desapareció a 43 normalistas de la Escuela Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos de Ayotzinapa el 26 de septiembre de 2014, a partir de ese día el país sigue sin encontrar verdad y justicia; un hecho que marcó para siempre la historia de México.
"La lucha de los padres de familias inició la misma noche trágica, y desde ese día no han parado ni se han cansado en buscar a sus hijos. Mientras que el Estado mexicano, intentó sofocar la indignación estudiantil y social, con la famosa 'verdad histórica' que después resultó ser la mentira histórica de la humanidad."

In at least the past 20 years, excluding Harper's #prorogation in 2008 to prevent the LPC-NDP-BQ coalition non-confidence motion to replace his government, in the year preceding the election Québec Parliament/Government has made efforts to enforce the use of French at the expense of its Anglophone population.
It seems a lamentable, but not unexpected, strategy re-used because it the parties in charge at the time keep getting away with it.
