“Georgia Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff told a voter in Georgia on Friday that he ‘strongly’ agrees that President Donald Trump needs to be impeached.”
“‘There is no doubt that this president’s conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment by the United States House of Representatives,’ Ossoff told the audience … adding later that there is ‘no question’ a number of Trump’s actions have risen to the level of an impeachable offense.”
“‘I like you, and I will vote for you if you are brave, and you do what we need,’ she said. ‘We need him [Trump] to be impeached. We need him to be removed.’”

No dia 25 de Abril de 1975 tivemos as primeiras eleições verdadeiramente livres e universais em Portugal.
Esta eleição serviu para eleger a Assembleia Constituinte que elaborou a constituição atual, consolidando o nosso país com um estado democrático.
92% dos eleitores foram votar nessa eleição de 1975. Acreditavam que estavam a construir as bases para uma sociedade melhor.

“On Elephants,” from fellow GNOME Foundation Director (and long-time, valued contributor) Allan Day
blogs.gnome.org/aday/2025/04/2…
As noted by Allan, the post is his personal view and not an official position of the GNOME Foundation board. That said, I personally feel like it includes important context and is well worth a read.
@brainblasted oh... Is it written somewhere? Reading on the CoC procedures, there's the "Final warning, temporary ban, or removal from leadership" option, which seems to fit the official announcement about removal of Sonny from Board of Directors and all committees. But nowhere can I find the duration of the temporary ban.

Late last year I supported the Kickstarter for JetKVM. This device is a tiny little IP-KVM solution. It’s basically a refined package of everything involved in a PiKVM. Connect HDMI & USB from a computer-to-be-controlled, and Ethernet. Then the web interface on the JetKVM device allows that device to be remote controlled using just a web browser from anywhere there’s IP connectivity.

Personally, I'd say a jury full of people whose friends and families have been murdered for profit are exactly the right kind of jury.
You know, a jury of our peers, just like it says in the Constitution. If you have to hunt for exceptional people, whose lives are unusual, they're not our "peers."
SelfPrivacy 0.13.0 is out now, and it finally brings Single Sign On support, powered by Kanidm under the hood.
New servers will have it enabled by default, but for existing ones there are some caveats: please read our blog post for more info: selfprivacy.org/blog/2025/04/2…
We've also added a new service to our catalog: the to-do app @vikunja. It supports SSO out of the box.

The desktop team in Red Hat has another open position. We’re looking for someone to work on Flatpak automation, for someone who enjoys working on infrastructure. Although the job description states 2+ years of experience, it’s suitable for juniors. Formal experience can be replaced by relevant open source contributions. Being onsite in Brno, Czech Republic is preferred, but not required. We’re open to hiring good candidates elsewhere, too.
If you’d like to know more about the job before formally applying, don’t hesitate to contact me on Mastodon, Signal, Matrix (@eischmann at fedora.im), or email.
Company Description At Red Hat, we connect an innovative community of customers, partners, and contributors to deliver an open source stack of trusted, high-performing solutions.redhat.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com

onsite would be a clear no-go for anyone I know who's even remotely talented, even if they were within communting distance.
Not to mention it's ableist af to any non-neurotypical or disabled person.
It's not a matter of money either. I did reject a position paying 50% higher... All I'd care is getting legally employed under German law for healthcare and tax reasons.
readers who enjoyed the other four books in this series will find this is a satisfying conclusion, offering closure, and ending the journey nicely.stuff.interfree.ca
Right, so. Chrome is a horrible browser with a huge marketshare. It's well known that it spies on its users. They've recently decided that ad-blockers are bad so they released a new version of the add-ons system so ad-blockers can't work as effectively. Google has used it to forece through its own standards and practices despite anything that happens in the W3C standards body. Right, okay. So Chrome must die.
But how to kill it?

WAIT! I have a great idea!
