Hey @NVAccess do you know anybody that got executable applications and python to run on this? I can’t tell how far they are, but it is Lennox under the hood, but is trying to be an open source version of Windows. ReactOS 0.4.15 released | ReactOS Project reactos.org/project-news/react… #Windows #OpenSource
in reply to Robert Kingett

Hi Robert, good question & one I don't know offhand (if anyone does, please share!) Looking on reactos.org/faq/#can-i-install… I found "Can I install ReactOS and run any software compatible with Windows on it?
Probably yes. However we highly recommend to check first if your favourite app runs in ReactOS. ReactOS is still an on-going project and not all the apps and drivers runs perfect on it."

Are any of our #FOSS / #Linux friends involved in #ReactOS able to share experiences please?

Python now ships with 15,000 lines of verified cryptographic code from HACL*, covering all default hash and HMAC algorithms. The integration was seamless and automated, aiming to eliminate bugs like the 2022 SHA3 CVE. A major milestone for verified crypto in mainstream software.

Surely nothing will go wrong with this... nothing dystopian or privacy harming about this at all.

Hold on. Here's a new internet-draft that is supposed to *supersede* the pending not yet published HTTP cookie spec update, the 6265bis document.

I have not yet quite figured out the differences. The trend of "programmatic" descriptions of syntax continues in here, and it makes me sad.

Aleca reshared this.

So, yet again my small high street cookshop in a rural English town has paid more tax than Starbucks entire UK operation.

Cynically, Starbucks is more than profitable enough to pay £40m of royalties to its US parent company, thereby incuring a loss of £35m.

Global revenue for 2024 was $36billion.

As a Green Party district councillor it makes my blood boil.
