Oh, yesterday, an interesting milestone set by EU Regulation 2024/886 just passed without being noticed:
> Payment Services Providers that are located in a Member State whose currency is the euro shall offer receiving instant credit transfers in euro by 9 January 2025, and the payment service of sending instant credit transfers in euro by 9 October 2025.
And on top of it:
> Any charges shall not be higher than the charges for other credit transfers.

@rysiek seconded, as a paid account holder and hacker. :)
Fwiw, it’s good to warn folks like this, Tuta (i have a pinned tweet about IDN homoglyph attacks because it’s a pet peeve masto.deoan.org/@neurovagrant/… ) - just keep in mind hackers protecc, not always attacc.
I hope the image is swapped out soon. I expect some level of corporate approval may be delaying action.

You should know:
Vaxry once told me, in private, around a year or two ago, that I should not be writing software if my vision impairment prevents me from being unable to understand his code.
This comment was uncalled for, since my eyes were not the reason his code was hard to understand.
I didn't want to name him publicly at the time but this is a decision I honestly somewhat regret.
Absoluely no one should be deciding whether you're allowed to embark on a hobby based on having a disability (physical or otherwise).
Your ability to write software does not give you the right to dictate others' capability to write software.

@Tutanota Just a FYI, the new super low contrast appearance of the website view for email (and presumably the rest, but I only use it for email) is an accessibility issue and just plain harder to read. I have really good vision and it still is unpleasant for me. Reducing contrast to almost nonexistent levels may look better to some people, but overall just is much worse of a view. Sometimes simplest is best and email doesn't have to look fancy.
At least give us something closer to the classic color scheme to choose. Though ideally the more color options the better. (Or even add a custom theme option?)

Quebec to table its own constitution in the coming days

It's all a dog whistle for racist. First they came for people not speaking french. Now they come for people not following "Quebec culture"... (that one includes being racist)
The constitution is designed to protect the province’s values and identity and rally Quebecers.Philip Authier, Montreal Gazette (Montreal Gazette)

Starting to wonder if the reason Québec wants to charge 180$ for the COVID-19 vaccine is because there is a shortage.
Prove me wrong, Monsieur Legault.

"Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called Eyes Up, differs from other banned apps such as ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities. Eyes Up, meanwhile, was more of an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court.
The news shows that Apple and Google’s crackdown on ICE-spotting apps, which started after pressure from the Department of Justice against Apple, is broader in scope than apps that report sightings of ICE officials. It has also impacted at least one app that was more about creating a historical record of ICE’s activity during its mass deportation effort."

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.Joseph Cox (404 Media)

Here's the draft of an abstract for a colloquium talk I'm giving at Indiana next month. Suggestions for what I should *call* this talk? I was thinking "It's all just interpreters!" or "Interpreters everywhere!", and then @ganshen suggested "Interpreters: the ultimate abstraction" -- am I audacious enough to call it that?
(Feedback welcome on other aspects of it, too!)
actually I was seriously considering doing a "program alignment chart" first

@fedora How does the #fedora project feel about being in a tent that also includes nazis? How about @ubuntu, does this represent your values?
Does this match the values of public investor #linustechtips ?
Someone left their bike and helmet unattended outside the Information Technology Faculty building at uni and this little noisy miner bird took advantage of it and built a nest in the helmet. To the delight of all the staff who have been eagerly watching it for the last week or so, Mumma bird has now laid some eggs 😍

This is about Framework.
This is not about Framework, but every other OSS project that sees the current shape of the ongoing polycrisis and says "yeah, the fascists have a point, actually."
This is not about OSS, but about tech in general being a part of how fascism works in 2025, from DRM to AI.
This is not about tech in the current moment, but about the failure of the tech industry to grapple with IBM's role in the Holocaust.
This is not about tech. This is about everything.
Tech firms when courting public opinion: "our technology is visionary! It has the power to change society, to improve everyone's life! The impact will be huge and a benefit to everyone!"
Tech firms when they pull this shit: "we just think tech shouldn't be political."
I don’t think #Framework understands that they _are_ a political brand. They don’t have the best products, and they don’t have the cheapest products. They have products that appeal to _political positions_. By trying to keep “politics” out of their decisions, what they’re saying is that the **literal only selling point** of their machines is no longer valid.
It’s incredibly sad to see, because I was a fan of Framework until I saw this atrocious response.
