This saturday, I'll host the GNOME Internship Preparatory Bootcamp.
It will be an online event for those who are planning to apply for Google Summer of Code and Outreachy internships. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the programs, hear from past participants, and join Q&A sessions with mentors and organizers.
Learn using BigBlueButton, the trusted open-source web conferencing solution that enables seamless virtual collaboration and online learning experiences.
Yay I’m listening to my second favourite #WarMaster box set, “Killing Time” - i know that sounds like a backhanded compliment but #MasterOfCallous is practically a whole level to itself in excellence - my favourite aspect is the interplay with Calantha, but the guest appearances of Jo and Nyssa also work incredibly well. It doesn’t feel like the overplayed #BigFinish tactic of chucking random characters together.
I’ve said it before (I’ll definitely say it again) but I do love me the misery of the war master being a fiendish, machiavellan, magnificent bastard. #DoctorWho

Here are a few highlights from yesterday at #fossasia Looking forward to the show today as we have a couple new demos.
Also want to give a shout out to @IzzyOnDroid for being part of every demo BlissLabs gave yesterday without even realizing it. We're going to have to bring some stickers for your project next year
The PHP project has put out the call for release manager volunteers for PHP 8.5!
Candidates should be confident about merging pull requests without breaking BC, doing bug triage, liaising with previous RMs, and getting the branch in good shape. At least one candidate should be a core dev who can assess more technical PR's. Others do not need to have deep knowledge of internals but should understand above mentioned points.

Hey. Why don't you accept tutamail as an email address provider for registration? I tried, was denied, and contacted tech support. All I got back was some stupid form letter about "fake and temporary email addresses are not allowed."
You're the Internet Archive. Maybe look that shit up.

Was looking forward to reading this article by @bemyeyes and, lo and behold, there is no heading markup for the title, no landmarks, no nothing to make it easy to get to the actual article. The first heading is some bottom menu thing and the only landmark is the navigation bar. Come on, guys. Your company literally exists to help with accessibility. Headings are as basic as it gets, at least for screenreader users.Do better.
What's odd is when I copied the article into an email message using Outlook, the level 1 heading at the article's title appeared and was properly identified as a heading in the email.

@lascapi This has always been my plan for slidge, I just had no prior experience in building such open things. It turns out it needs planning and more than just pushing some code out there, who would've thought? :)

The technology in your cell phone has a hidden connection to the stars. Modern computer chips are made using ultraviolet light from vaporized balls of tin--and those balls closely mirror the physics of supernova explosions!

UK MPs have joined the chorus of voices wanting the Apple case to be held in public.
"If the Home Office wants to have effectively unfettered access to the private data of the (innocent) general public, they should explain their case in front of the public."
🗣️ David Davis MP.
"People deserve to know what's happening to their private personal information."
A row between the tech giant and the government over customer data will reportedly move to London's High Court this week – but the hearing will be held behind closed doors.
Bipartisan US Congress Members want the secrecy around the UK's encryption-breaking order to be lifted.
"It is imperative that the UK's technical demands of Apple - and of any other US companies - be subjected to robust, public analysis and debate."
“Secret court hearings featuring intelligence agencies and a handful of individuals approved by them do not enable robust challenges on highly technical matters.”
It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud.
Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.
Great to be able to make @OpenForumEurope earlier this year. I couldn’t attend all the talks, so it is terrific that the videos are now available online.
Very encouraging to see so many #government leaders working with #OpenSource leaders collaborating together.
OpenForum Europe (OFE) is a not-for-profit, Brussels-based independent think tank which explains the merits of openness in computing to policy makers and communities across Europe.
In our latest office hours, we chat with Design Manager Laurel Terlesky to talk about the cross-platform design system she and her team are building. If you're curious about Open Source design and/or the look and feel of Thunderbird, check it out!
I've always wondered how these cars ever passed any type of safety test. RIP to the students.
"The Highway Patrol’s investigation into a November Cybertruck crash in Piedmont where three college kids died is finding two very Tesla problems: the vehicle immediately caught fire, and its doors would not open."

Did noticed that it shows Sal Y Canela restaurant with their correct name I've fixed some minutes ago. It was Canela y Sal and I've edited at #openstreetmap website.
It's interesting that both those restaurants are (correctly) marked as disused, not completely deleted. It almost looks like MapComplete is picking up disused restaurants ... except that wouldn't explain why they don't appear for me.
Dramatické dění v našich životech funguje jako katalyzátor. Oddělí podstatné od podružného, co bylo zastřené, vidíme najednou jasně. Jeden takový moment teď před českou společností stojí a vděčíme za něj americkému prezidentovi.

AI can open up information access for blind people, but we need to be aware of what it takes away from us. I've seen a lot of talk within the blind community which celebrates AI completely uncritically.
A web browser should *NEVER* be able to look inside your clipboard without an explicit user action (such as ctrl-v). Honestly, this should not be a controversial statement. Microsoft Edge is one of the browsers that ships this dangerous capability. Here is the dialog you need to hunt for to turn this API off.
