The Beatles in 1964: Sporting transistor radios
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Robert Yowell, who writes: Tom - next week Disney Plus is premiering a new documentary from Martin Scorsese focusing on the Beatles arrival in New York in 1964. This film has footage from the famous Maysles brothers who produced several documentaries in the 1960’s.

Nearly all clients are connected via ipv6 on my server, but you can never be sure, people can use a stupid wifi etc. So it's good to have a turn server just in case.
My Alditalk mobile contract gives me ipv6 @daniel
Some in my family had ipv6 not enabled in the APN settings. I turned it on then then it just worked. Don't know why it isn't always the default.
@daniel
May very well be that it is newish for some carriers.
Progress 🎉
All in all I have the feeling Germany has nearly full support for ipv6 everywhere. (not in corporate networks, OK)
But it isn't bad anymore.

📣 Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! 📣
Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.
The European Commission is aware of the situation, but has deemed it a low priority: europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docum…
It's time for us to take action and show Google and the EU how much we care about this issue! 💥

House passes bill allowing Trump admin to declare nonprofits supporters of terrorism
This time, only 15 Democrats voted for it.Mother Jones
1/N Starting to write an outline of article about how open source maintainers (especially of data science and scientific computing libraries) can reduce carbon emissions, and realized I might get to talk about my favorite ACM Computing Survey paper, "Systems Approaches to Tackling Configuration Errors: A Survey" (tianyin.github.io/pub/csur.pdf) and related research by Tianyin Xu and collaborators.
This is just one point out of many, but it's maybe the most surprising—
Had to explain to another user why asking a volunteer project to fix an issue is inappropriate.
And I get that's it's a really subtle point here between saying "I also have this problem" (fine) and "Please fix this issue" (not ok)
i.e. You can only ask people you have a relationship with to do work for you. You can NOT ask strangers to labour for you for free, even if you think it's important, or appropriate.
