I loved working on this article:

The technology in your cell phone has a hidden connection to the stars. Modern computer chips are made using ultraviolet light from vaporized balls of tin--and those balls closely mirror the physics of supernova explosions!

📣 Make it public!

The call is getting louder for a public hearing of the appeal over the UK's order to break Apple encryption.

Alongside the joint letter from ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship, UK MPs, US Congress Members and the BBC want the secrecy to end.

The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!

The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.

A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.

📣 Break the silence: Save encryption!

The UK government wants to be able to access anything, anywhere, any time — from your pics to your docs.

It begins with Apple. Other services will be next. That's why we must take a stand NOW!

Great to be able to make @OpenForumEurope earlier this year. I couldn’t attend all the talks, so it is terrific that the videos are now available online.

Very encouraging to see so many #government leaders working with #OpenSource leaders collaborating together.

I've always wondered how these cars ever passed any type of safety test. RIP to the students.

"The Highway Patrol’s investigation into a November Cybertruck crash in Piedmont where three college kids died is finding two very Tesla problems: the vehicle immediately caught fire, and its doors would not open."

Hi, @MapComplete !

I'm checking the Restaurants and fast food in my area and noted that it's very outdated vs #OpenStreetMap data.

mapcomplete.org/food.html?z=17…

openstreetmap.org/#map=19/40.7…

There shows two restaurants that I removed some months ago and lacks another added about one month ago.

Could be something at my side or map items are updated from time to time?

@podfeet Your Time Shifter app got a mention in this week's Top Tech Tidbits (see item 10) and I also posted it to my Tech-VI list. It won't surprise me if you see an increase in usage.

I’d heard this was likely to happen. For those of us already dealing with Social Security overpayments, this doesn’t mean anything SO FAR. If you get a notice after March 27, however, this will likely impcat you. blog.ssa.gov/social-security-t…?

With the world changing around us, many governments and organisations are trying to reduce their dependency on tech giants. Here's an update on how one German federal state is moving 30,000 PCs to LibreOffice (and longer-term, Linux): blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware

So it begins!

Dear Fediverse, I am looking for a super simple streaming tool that is just as brilliant as OBS, but only for the use case of streaming a presentation (yes pptx is still dominant 😞).

But webcam on, select presentation..and GO GO GO!

There may be a config button on it.. but for the stimulation of more (live) broadcasting via PeerTube that is not a USP. it has to be simple above all! 95% of the use cases in my opinion.

Open source powers so much of the world, but the people behind it often go unseen. It was wonderful to meet so many maintainers and contributors in person at an event like @FOSSBackstage. These are real people doing critical work on that we all rely on, and they deserve all the recognition and appreciation. A huge thank you to everyone who gives their time and energy to FOSS, and a special thank you to these individuals (and their teams) who have worked with the Sovereign Tech Agency. 1/
