We hope you're enjoying the new features in #LibreOffice 25.2! Our community of developers, from the ecosystem and volunteers, is working hard on improvements across the suite. Here's what they did in January: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #opensource
General Activities Olivier Hallot (TDF) added help pages for new Calc functions TOROW(), TOCOL(), WRAPROWS(), WRAPCOLS(), EXPAND(), TAKE() and DROP(), added dark mode support to the help interface, improved help for PDF/UA, did cleanups in the Xapian…
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.” - George Orwell
Google have apparently automated getting rid of negative reviews resulting from their decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico. The only sensible thing to do is to try to stop using the products of billionaire owned American companies, who are *all* demonstrating that they were willing to at the very least bend for fascists, if not actively support fascism.
This came up as part of my continuing process of removing everything which benefits American billionaires from my phone.
I'm now using #organicMaps instead on my phone. It's about 1000 times faster because it doesn't waste time in continuously trying to show you ads.
Debian is among the distributions with most supported CPU architectures and excellent cross-compilation support. We are working on improving its cross-building capabilities and keeping it easily cross-bootstrappable from source for upcoming CPU architectures. Therefore, we'll meet in an upcoming team sprint in Würzburg, Germany. See wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2025/B… .
stopped supporting the i386 architecture recently claiming again and again that there's no more new 32bit x86 hardware to buy despite this was never true: vortex86.com/ produces 32-bit only x86 CPUs and SoC for at least a decade now. 😢😠
The Vortex86 SoC series are 32-bit x86-architecture microprocessors that are compatible with Windows, Linux and most popular 32-bit Real Time Operating Systems.
6 books this week, although one was a very short fanfiction prequel and its successor, called Rise of the Wizards was rather venal.
Outstanding read this week has to go to Dan Frey's Dreambound, which I've already mentioned. I also reread the Heinlein classic Have Spacesuit, Will Travel, and an interesting twist on the murder mystery front with Memory Blank by John Stith.
This week's reading highlight was probably the second of the Brian Pinkerton novels: The Gemini Experiment follows attempts to transfer Human brains into cyborg bodies. Part of me thinks it's meant to be read entirely seriously, but then you get the whole Russian subplot and an utterly stupid action in chapter 15 which makes one think the author's partly playing it for laughs. Either way, a quick thriller which I enjoyed.
@jscholes people were seeing the buttondown messages in spam, so I thought I'd use the domain I originally planned on hosting on. But i've screwed up somewhere in adding the records and it's all just gone belly-up.
Other than voting I’ve never involved myself in politics. Thursday Feb. 13 at 6:00 p.m. Eastern I’ll be joining a Zoom call run by Lead Now, to bring people together to help keep a rightwing agenda from seeping further into Canadian Federal Politics. Over 1000 people have signed up already, so I feel like there must be somewhere I can contribute. If you care about a humane future for Canada, consider joining us. you.leadnow.ca/events/how-we-f…
This election I want to fight back against Poilievre’s Conservatives and elect leaders who will fight for us—not for corporate interests. That’s why I’m joining Leadnow’s Federal election campaign launch call.
Wth is going on? It's not because every company has to do a big marketing rebrand and simply their logo to a circle that Gnome has to lower itself to such things.
That foot was one of the most iconic logo's in the linux ecosystem besides the penguin and the ubuntu logo....
The original logo was fun, recognizable. BUT NO
NOW WE HAVE
GNOME
....
I'm not one to complain easily about things, but this is shit
We appreciate everyone’s feedback on the website update! The decision to remove the foot logo was a style choice. That said, we’re exploring ways to bring the logo back in a way that fits the new look.
logo gone is a bold choice i didn't expect. i mean yeah it looked bit dated so maybe there can be a redesign of it to match the modern look? either way new website lookin sharp like the DE now 💅💅
In addition to the logo choice: Please don't use sentences like “It's magic.” Computer usage has absolutely nothing to do with that. It's bad enough that Apple uses such or similar claims. 🤢
Congrats for the new website. I am, though, a bit puzzled by the removal of the foot logo. > The GNOME logo is the most important part of the brand identity. I agree with brand.gnome.org/
Bring back the vertical workspace layout in Gnome Shell. Screens have less rows than columns, you are cramming stuff in rows (I know there are extensions for that).
Gnome already is a much better experience than MacOS, you don't need to copy their choices.
Remember when MacOS copied application buttons inside decoration bars? They will also notice the single shell overview is much better than their fragmented spotlight-app grid-workspaces mess. Be a leader, not a follower.
I miss the foot too :( When you are lucky enough to have such an iconic (original, distinctive, recognizable, simple, fun!) logo, why would you hide it?
Does it run WINE? (I know, probably a silly question, but I'm rather dependent on a bunch of OpenSource and Free Windows Applications right now. They don't all come with Linux options.)
looks fresh! But the navigation buttons move to a second row for me depending on which I am. Also, there seem to be multiple button corner radiuses, I would focus on one (or two, when in a card).
We provide some callbacks for third party QUIC stacks to use in order
to be able to reuse the OpenSSL TLS implementation in that stack. This is
essentially a thin wrapper around the same API that O...
I would guess that apart from the inferior performance in curl, server stacks have been fine tuning their implementations over the last years for other TLS stacks.
Probably not worth for them to invest in the OpenSSL unique thing when no benefits can be foreseen.
I only noticed it just now, but Google has collapsed almost all varieties of European voices in its GCP TTS library last month into just one voice per gender.
If any of your apps or services has been using its English (British) voices, they won't sound anything like they used to.
And if you used multiple voices (e.g. using different female voices for different female characters), they will now all sound like the same person.

¿Alguien entiende de monedas antiguas (numismática)?
Tengo una colección de monedas que herede de mi abuelo hace años y hoy me ha dado por mirarlas pero no sé si tienen algún valor. Entre los cientos de monedas hay un montón de 5 pesetas de finales de siglo XIX.
Agradezco un repost por si llegase a alguien que pueda ayudarme o decirme dónde pueden ayudarme.
Teď jsem začal Sygic znova po letech taky používat. Zaplatil za aplikaci a jsem taky zklamaný. Na docela rušné silnici není vyznačen železniční přejezd, navádění do pruhů je jen na dálnici, což dříve fungovalo všude.
@archos S tím přejezdem je to zvláštní, páč používají podklady od TomTomu, jehož základem jsou OSM. 🤔
Navádění do průhů vloni byla taky tragédie. Mám ale pocit, že už je to teď lepší. Každopádně Mapy.cz mají to navádění do průhů přehlednější a dřívější.
Sygic jsem si pořizoval primárně kvůli dopravě v zahraničí, kdy Mapy.cz (v poslední aktualizaci přidaly Sentry tracker 👿 ) uměly jen ČR. Teď už umí i Slovensko, Polsko a Rakousko... Takže nevím. 🤷♂️
No středa zatím nic moc, hned po ránu jsem se tady chytl s jedním německým kolegou, co si asi myslel, že mě bude kontrolovat v práci. Tak jsem zašel k pekaři, koupil kávičku a Butterbrezel a Ich bin heute im Slow-Modus
Já tady mám od září kolegyňku (tu, co tady chtěla pouštět pohádky), která se mi snaží dělat hlídáčka a šmíráčka a šéfové práskáčka. 😇 Obdař kolegu úsměvem a hlavně hóóódně pomalu pracuj. Krásný den Archosi! 😊👋❄️
The video of mine and @hpk talk at @fosdem is now published. We tell the story of @delta from 2017 and up to now. If you're eager to learn how to replace billionaires with a zip-file, the answer is in the video! Hope you enjoy
Danish citizens have launched an online petition, signed by 200,000 people, to purchase California. The petition notes that purchasing the Golden State would provide Danes with more sunshine, dominance in the tech industry, limitless avocado toast, and easy access to Disneyland. In return, California would get the rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.
Can they buy Wisconsin, please? I'd take that offer! 😆
-= We hoped we never had to do this but here we are and we now have to do this. =-
American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country.
We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out.
So we made a wiki.
We are collecting information on possible exit routes into various countries. We focus on work, study and self employment visas as they are available at the moment.
Google changed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. It would be just a total shame if we all flooded Google with feedback telling them the Gulf is labeled incorrectly.
Open Google Maps, zoom out and center on the Gulf of Mexico.
one of our local dance studios just dropped the plans they had to attend a competition in Michigan and added a different competition in the GTA instead. that's probably close to $100,000 in travel spending right there

Christian and Jewish groups sue DHS over its policy of conducting immigration enforcement actions at places of worship. nytimes.com/2025/02/11/us/poli…
After taking office, President Trump rescinded a policy that instructed immigration agents to steer clear of sensitive locations like churches, schools and hospitals.
“The attack on the civil service is unacceptable, unconscionable, un-American and we are going to stand with you until each and every one of those unlawful executive orders are fully and completely reversed, buried in the ground, never to rise again.” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries told demonstrators at an AFGE rally today.
ProPublica has identified nine additional Musk-affiliated staffers. A former staffer at Boring Company now has an official role at DOGE in the Executive Office of the President. A former X employee now works in the General Services Administration.
Musk and his lieutenants are reshaping the government and its mission with the blessing of President Trump. ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 staffers affiliated with the billionaire.
