You cannot DEMAND #Francization and then NOT FUND IT... UNLESS your plan is to start rounding up all the anglophones and deporting them from the province of Québec... MAYBE that is The Plan™. montreal.ctvnews.ca/federal-mp… #CAQASTROPHE #polQC #QCpoli #assnat #polMTL #MTLpoli #cdnpoli #polcan

Today, we celebrate the birthday of the remarkable Marie Skłodowska-Curie – a true inspiration for researchers worldwide. 🎉

As the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only individual to receive it twice in two different categories, her contributions to science are unparalleled.

The #MSCActions fellowship bears her name and helps young scientists in their research.

We will keep building a brighter future for generations to come.

For morbid reasons of my own I keep an eye on the Apache OpenOffice project's regular reports to the ASF board:

whimsy.apache.org/board/minute…

As is normal, the September report says that all is great with the project - community health is always "improving". And they are clearly on top of upcoming problems: "Python 2 is unmaintained. We have in the development tree the external python3 support. Internal python 3 support is difficult. We are checking alternatives." They plan to fix it in "the next major release". The project hasn't made a major release in ten years, so I wouldn't hold my breath...

(OK, so I'm still clearly in a snarky mode, sorry.)

Bits from the DPL: Dear Debian community,

this is Bits from DPL for October. In addition to a summary of my
recent activities, I aim to include newsworthy developments within
Debian that might be of interest to the broader community. I believe
this provides valuable insights and foster a sense of connection across
our diverse projects. Also, I welcome your feedback on the format and
focus of these Bits, as community input helps shape their value.

The fact that the Hellsite is now completely unusable without an account is probably the best indication that your should delete your account.

Incidentally:

1. I've deleted my X/Twitter account; have only been using it to get notifications and news from streamers I follow elsewhere anyway
2. I've created an account on bsky: bsky.app/profile/ebassi.bsky.s… — still unsure as to whether I'm going to use it much

Microsoft are effectively giving up on Copilot Pro subscription ($20/month) as almost nobody paid for it.

Instead they are bundling it into Microsoft 365 consumer subscriptions and inflating the renewal prices there. There’s no opt out.

Effectively allows the Copilot revenue and user numbers to be inflated.

Sensitive content

Utilizaba la aplicacion Google Podcast, para escuchar podcast sobre noticias internacionales. Google decidió cerrar la aplicación. Asi que estuve buscando otras aplicaciones.
Mediante un grupo de Telegram que se dedica a promocionar aplicaciones que respetan la privacidad de los usuarios, me recomendaron la aplicación AntennaPod, basada en software libre.
#Podcast #AntennaPod #SoftwareLibre

Podrán acceder a las ayudas, moratorias y beneficios fiscales por la DANA, personas y empresas radicadas en 78 municipios: 75 de Valencia, 2 de Castilla-La Mancha (Letur y Mira) y uno de Andalucía (Alhaurín de la Torre).

Las resumimos todas en este artículo.

¿Nos ayudas con la difusión🙏? Dale un boost para que llegue a las personas que necesitan esta información.

A ver, gente de lejos con ganas de ayudar, un sitio donde meter pasta, de mil que habrá: para el rescate de una librería en Picanya, cercana a unos amigos. Cercana de "la librería favorita de mis amigos" pero también cercana de "sus amigos que llevan la libreria además se han quedado en la calle, incluida la nena de un año es amiga de la nena de mis amigos":

De esto nos va a hacer falta en toda la zona, una barbaridad. Negocios pequeños arrasados que como no sea con solidaridad externa se quedarán cerrados, con la consiguiente depresión económica para toda la zona que ya se nos quedará crónica.

We are very happy to present you with GIMP 3.0.0 RC1! 🥳

This is our first release candidate for what will be GIMP 3.0.0. Now is the time for everyone to test!

It is the result of years of work. I'm sure it still has many bugs (and you should report!), but we hope you will still appreciate the new version. 🤗

Ja, Rousseau heeft zijn partij aan de NVA verkocht.

"Nick Serneels neemt ontslag als voorzitter van Vooruit district Antwerpen. Dat blijkt uit een mail van Serneels naar de leden van de districtsafdeling van Vooruit. Hij voelt zich gepasseerd tijdens de onderhandelingen voor een nieuw districtsbestuur."

Rousseau maakt manu militari coalities met NVA en passeert zelfs de lokale partijleiding ..

Congratulations to the awesome Jen Linkova, winner of the 2024 Itojun Service Award for her work on #IPv6!

She has played a key role in blazing a path towards IPv6-mostly deployments in Enterprise environments, including bringing the Google network to IPv6-mostly. It has been a great pleasure working with her over the years and this award is very well deserved!

With #matrix and oidc I was thinking about offering an official FluffyChat server. It would have some benefits, right? I could have more control over the UX and would be kore independent. On the other hand it would require a lot of work and eval a public legal identity with either an expensive impressum service or publishing my physical address. Also a lot of legal paperwork.

So I came up with a new idea. A new login UX flow where the user picks the homeserver from a trustworthy list

@patrickleavy You can share entire calendars with all family members, it syncs instantly on all devices. You'll need Revolutionary or Legend for this, and support needs to activate the family option. Do contact us via the question mark to the right of your mailbox once you've subscribed!

This is old, but it shows how you can share the entire calendar and how it then shows up in the other account instantly: youtube.com/watch?v=n8l_xV6z8E…

QuicTLS will now pay for vulnerabilities reported (via HackerOne). We promise to share with OpenSSL and the major forks.

See github.com/quictls/quictls/blo… for details. TL;DR, only HIGH vulnerabilities.

Please boost for reach.
