I was at a
@NGICommons event this morning & struck that we have given so much control over the future to a small group of companies from the West Coast of the USA.
Other visions of the future are possible.
Success shouldn't have to mean chasing the dream of creating more billionaires. Europe has its own definition of success. It isn't that European companies lack innovation, but perhaps saw different values than accumulation $$ and/or power.

Popravit 25 700 nacionalistů, stálo v rozkaze, který spustil katyňský masakr
Před 85 lety, 5. března 1940, podepsalo šest členů sovětského politbyra rozkaz, aby bylo popraveno 25 700 polských nacionalistů a kontrarevolucionářů, ve skutečnosti zejména důstojníků polské armády, policistů a vysokých úředníků.Jaroslav Krupka (Deník.cz)
This is the dark theme in @libreoffice. I kid you not.
It turns the background of the page black, but does not change the colour on font in which you type to a light (despite it being set to "automatic"), so you type black on black. Genius.
Also, uhh, the theme isn't dark, in case you weren't sure.
This is on Fedora Silverblue 41 with Gnome 47 and LO as a Flatpak from Flathub.
Restarting LO makes it darker, but it's not there yet (cf. attached image)
I only tried to switch my theme to a dark theme after a friend showed me the problem on their end, they are on Debian + i3 (apt install), so the issue is not uncommon.
Et bien, spoiler, c'est plus compliqué que ça.

Máte někdo zkušenosti s rozdílem zvuku u TV, která má Dolby Atmos (u mě datart.cz/televize-samsung-qe6… ) a když se k té TV přidá soundbar s Dolby Atmos? Konkrétně mě zajímá tento: alza.cz/samsung-hw-q800d-d1228…
Máme totiž v pokoji nějakou špatnou akustiku, jak jsou to 2 propojené místnosti (obývák + kuchyně), proto bych rád něco, co ten zvuk zlepší. Ale nechci dávat 30+ tisíc za nějakou profi aparaturu.

"Assuming that the past six weeks are predictive of what’s next, expect an age of anxiety; expect the elimination of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of jobs; expect the decimation of liberal institutions to go on for all four years of Trump’s second term; expect government services to deteriorate; expect reduced funding of the safety net; and expect more homelessness, hunger and disease."

#Trump outlined a vision of American #expansionism: building up our naval capacity, reclaiming the #PanamaCanal, & pledging to “get” #Greenland, “one way or another.”
He didn’t mention his aim to make #Canada the 51st state. But that may be because he doesn’t want to get into the horribly idiotic & disastrous #tariffs he placed on Canada & #Mexico today.

I've talked to folks working at the moving company that @transworldexpress mentioned as being willing to help move trans folks from red states to blue ones now. They're definitely legit. Yes, brand new website from a template, and a brand new company, but I trust them to do what they say on the tin.
Note that I'm not saying you should take my word for this — vet them in exactly the same way you vet every stranger on the internet offering to help, but do get in touch if they can help you.
NEW: As Skype is about to be shut down, I looked at its most important legacy: giving end-to-end encryption to the masses.
Today, end-to-end encryption is baked into our most used chat apps. In 2003, putting that technology into a popular chat and calling app was nothing short of revolutionary.
And ever since it launched in 2003, Skype freaked out authorities all over the world, from Italy’s cybercrime police, to the Egyptian intelligence service.
