My colleagues @gpiccoli and André Almeida will attend the Linux Kernel Recipes 2024 in Paris, between the 23rd and the 25th of September. Make sure to talk to him if you are interested in what Igalia works on that is related to the Linux kernel and general OS development.

As much as we fight the EU Commission's push for #chatcontrol, we applaud the EU for protecting users' #privacy with the #GDPR.
It's about time the #EU Commission reflects on European values and increases data protection, not undermining it. ✊

Have you ever wondered how your personal data is being used to power AI models?
The European Union is shining a light on this very question with its investigation into Google's PaLM2 model.

Ever wondered how focus stealing prevention works in GNOME Shell? Or why you see "<App> is ready" notification?

The Access Text Network (a US platform where some publishers share accessible PDFs of their books on demand to authorized users) has gradually been coming back online after it collapsed this spring as a result of some kind of disagreement between Georgia Tech and the Association of American Publishers.🤔
My work was only granted access to the new AccessText today, and the collection has to be built back up over time book by book.

A week ago, in spite of all her campaign promises to defend the rights of Mexico's sexual diversities, President-Elect Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the terf Renata Turrent will be the new director of the public television station Canal Once. In response, over 100 queer, antiracist and abortion rights organizations and nearly 400 individuals have signed this statement calling for her dismissal. @reclaimingtrans and @thatweirdolee have been kind enough to host the English translation
For public television and radio and free media that truly represent the diversity and dignity of all people!

I guess there weren't enough users? In any case, this seems like a weird thing to do, given that X is a mess and we need open alternatives supported by companies…

TFW the mouse cursor freezes and my first thought "it's my regular AMDGPU crash happening" and then realise it's just the mouse battery....
That's how much unreliable shit mess with your brain.
We have two AMD GPUs here without any problems, both are in machines running Fedora 40 (although one is 41 now).
I do know someone else who has been struggling with GPU crashes on AMD (happens to be embedded) and it's been consistently crashing with trying to view VP9 videos on YouTube (specifically shorts loading, not even playing).
There are a few workarounds, but the best seems to be the H264ify browser extension. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…

Just applied to the @sovtechfund fellowship program. Happy that this intiaitive exists, should I be selected or not. I do not envy them the task of selecting the initial five people.
Well, it's Friday and Kyle's parents are flying from Vancouver today. They're spending a couple of days with us in Ottawa, and then we'll go to Montréal with them before they head to Québec City for their... cruise...
Now to stress about everything that could go wrong. And the fact that they don't mask.
@jcolp I'm torn between getting drunk to buff off the passenger contempt from airlines (and Air Canada in particular) and being too drunk and becoming a real nuisance.
Life balance is hard.

How realistic is the hollywood plot of a terrorist attack through exploding devices that we have seen unravel? It all looks easier than you think.
Ah yes, it was a terrorist attack.
Hmmm, DHL qui dit que je suis pas chez moi 🤔
Alors qu'étant chez moi, je peux garantir que je n'ai pas entendu la sonnette, ni frapper à la porte. Même pas entendu de camionnette se garer 🤔🤔

in reply to Steve Mann • • •Sensibly named contacts also aid in sharing with others, access for emergency services etc.
Nickname field means you can call people what you want without changing who they actually are.
I have family that do the ICE thing, family that put full names in the first name box, and that make separate contacts for different numbers or even email addresses.
While of course you should be free to manage contacts how you want, the inefficiencies and legacies of using SIM cards to store name-number pairs persist widely.
