We have 2 days to gather $567.83 or else the sole working vehicle for two families will be repossessed. This will make it impossible for my son in law to work and support the new baby that will be arriving this month, and will limit me to relatively scarce remote-only positions for my job hunt. Please help us if you can. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give, even if it's just a boost.
The Quebec government is launching an investigation of two English-language junior colleges in Montreal over complaints that the conflict in the Middle East has created an unsafe climate on campus.

At last, the USB portal originally authored by @refi64 in 2021, later continued by Georges Stavracas in 2023, and finalized by @hub, has been merged!
The USB portal allows sandboxed formats like Flatpak to access USB devices without poking holes in the sandbox. This is great for security, as accessing USB devices will now need to be explicitly granted by the user.
Now we just need to wait for implementers to implement them in their respective portal implementations, starting with GNOME: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-des…
Description: Portal for USB device access This interface lets sandboxed applications monitor and request access to connected USB devices. Applications should prefer specialized portals for specific...
Surprise, @github is now pushing Copilot on the home screen 🤢
Keep in mind that I've never signed up for Copilot, have disabled Copilot in every way that's possible, and yet I still have a "Copilot Individual Subscription" which comically has "Enabled" as a text field amongst drop-downs for disabling specific features and buttons for signing up for professional services.
ChatGPT Pro is a new $200/month subscription offering unlimited access to OpenAI o1, o1-mini, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice, plus a new o1 pro mode with even more capabilities.
One of my all-time favorite spots, the trolley graveyard was a privately owned collection of streetcars on 19 acres of track stretching back into the woods. The owner, my good friend Ed Metka, passed away earlier this year and the cars are being scrapped.
Nejpsychedeličtější díl temného psychedelického seriálu #BabylonBerlin. Mám náladu podívat se na to znova. Berlín, třicátá léta 20. stol. To se to tancovalo! Krize kolem nás, válka před námi, bojůvky NSDAP v ulicích. "Was kümmern mich Bilanzen, lass uns tanzen!"

I’m shocked they still haven’t fixed the issues with the Podcasts app. If I play something all the way to the very end, the podcast app does not reflect this and still says partially played.
Oh no! This is such sad news! I have definitely benefited from his courses and actually got to do some one-on-one training with him several years ago over the phone. Is there a way to convey our sincere condolences, thoughts, prayers, whatever to him or his family?
Tsunami-Warnung nach Seebeben mit Stärke 7,0 vor Kalifornien
US-Behörden haben vor der Gefahr eines Tsunamis gewarnt, der auf die Pazifikküste treffen könnte. Anwohner berichteten von spürbaren Erschütterungen. Die Gefahr einer Riesenwelle scheint jedoch gebannt.

hey @Tutanota i just disabled siri “learning from” the app, alongside all my other apps. is is possible for you to get apple to not enable this by default, and do you know anything about the nature of the data gathered?
“The hacking campaign, nicknamed SaltTyphoon by Microsoft, is one of the largest intelligence compromises in US history, and it has not yet been fully remediated.”
“Privacy advocates have long advocated using end-to-end encrypted E2EE apps.” *sigh*
Amid an unprecedented cyberattack on telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Verizon, U.S. officials have recommended that Americans use encrypted messaging apps to ensure their communications stay hidden from foreign hackers.
→ Encryption is nothing without open-source. Use @signalapp, @matrix, or whatever is E2EE + open-source. Not WhatsApp or any other closed-source app.
→ Use 2FA/OTP but never by SMS. Don't fill in your phone number when creating online accounts, especially if it can be used to recover them (such as bank and email accounts).
→ Don't assume that the number calling or texting you is actually the number calling or texting you. Spoofing is trivial.
TIL about `git config blame.ignoreRevsFile`!!! I must have been living under a rock; when did this come out?! Such a requested feature! So much code left unformatted because "don't wanna fudge git blame."

A VPN is just a tunnel, using one makes sense if you trust your VPN company more than you trust your ISP, and for most people., there's no particular reason to mistrust their ISP.
In April 2024, we published a quick tip on how to filter chats on WhatsApp. Since then, this feature has been extended to include "Favorites" and user-created

If you are doing stuff outside of the "Instagram for cats" style of company. Please Please Please just use boring tech, I beg you all to just use boring tech where lives may matter
(also the idea of Element becoming a part of the military–industrial complex is quite funny in some way)
Like, if your hacker trans girl or whatever is struggling to make your chat system exchange messages consistently and predictably, what hope does a single branch of defence with 200,000 troops have?
It's not like the DoD has hoarded all of the experts in this area from the rest of the world, likely quite the opposite
It'll probably turn into "nobody actually uses that complicated matrix stuff, the employee handbook is inaccurate, we just message eachother on Whats App groups and everybody just pretends everything is fine".
Source: have recently done a fair bit of talking to (GDPR-covered) institutions in a sensitive (though non-military) sector. I've heard stories.
and just to be clear, the stories weren't about matrix specifically, but about other computer systems that became a lot more "secure" after the advent of GDPR, with pretty predictable consequences.

Absolutely can recommend this series on iOS #accessibility from Dani! He’s an expert on the topic and his tips are concrete, understandable, actionable, AND come with great graphics!

Day 1 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. One of the accessibility issues I see more often in iOS apps, believe it or not, is unlabelled elements. This happens especially for buttons with an icon but no title.
Now that you're doing these again I'm going to have to keep closer tabs on your timeline :) Can't believe it, always love these and to share them as it's a great reminder even for those who are not developing for iOS to follow the same principles as much as possible for their platforms.
I remember when a thief came into my house through an unlocked windowwhen I was a graduate student in Miami and stole my underwater photography gear. The police almost laughed at me when I suggested that they dust for fingerprints the window that s/he obviously opened*. They told me it wasn't like a cop drama TV show (copaganda really is copaganda) and they wouldn't do it. But when a healthcare CEO is gunned down in Manhattan, they will pick up candy wrappers and water bottles off the street to try to find DNA (much more expensive then fingerprints, and prone to errors if they are using objects on the ground in a crowded city). My claim was denied, but the healthcare CEO's claim will never be denied.
*I'm not trying to equate theft to murder. I'm trying to compare the responses. The cop's response suggested that they rarely dust for fingerprints. Ever. His solution? Monitor Ebay for your photography equipment and let them know if I find it!
The Fedora Project is looking for a new git forge to move to, and right now the preference is toward @forgejo over GitLab. We're looking for feedback one more time from the community before the Fedora Council has a vote on it!
Numerous factors were involved in the decision to move to Forgejo and this article will discuss them, present some background on the process, and invite one more chance for feedback.
. Jen ten uvítací e-mail dorazí asi po hodině 😂
