You might have noticed already: since a few weeks, #MapComplete has a totally new search experience.

If you search something, the matching locations are shown on the map. If it matches the name of a layer or a filter, you can also opt to show only this layer or to enable this filter. For examplr, on mapcomplete.org/food, one could search for 'sushi' to only see sushi restaurants and then for 'open now'. Or search with an emoji, such as 🍕🍟🥙 or 🍙

Today's challenge -- working out why GObject Introspection bitfield objects return zero when the value is bigger than MAX_UINT32. The value is correct in the .gir file, just not in the fwupd python bindings.

@ebassi @pwithnall (or anyone else) does this ring any bells please? I've opened gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject… with some more data.

Western observers often express cynicism towards China’s self-proclaimed “Whole-Process People’s Democracy” without fully grasping its distinct characteristics and underlying principles. While Western liberal democracies prioritize periodic elections, China argues this approach is inherently limited, susceptible to corruption, and ultimately fails to truly represent the people’s will.

When the entire technical community says that the EU's ChatControl legislation + similar pose serious cybersecurity threats, we're not exaggerating for effect.
