Made in America: Purism’s Liberty Phone and the Vision of Security, Privacy, and Independence
Why "Made in America" Matters Now More Than Ever
In a world where adversarial nations increasingly shape the technology we rely on, the importance of homegrown, secure, and ethical tech cannot be overstated.
At Purism, we're unapologetically committed to designing and manufacturing devices that are Made in America.

If you want an lol - Microsoft have implemented Copilot on its own GitHub repos and it’s a clusterfuck, you can see MS engineers publicly begging Copilot to work.

Funny enough, my programmer friend went like:

Yeah, hum. Confidense level, 0. This code is a fork bomb.
#fdroid just successfully built #TinyWeatherForecastGermany version 0.62.9 .
This is a #floss #weather #forecast #app for #android devices based on #opendata from the German federal weather service "Deutscher Wetterdienst", the #dwd .
This app has no trackers included, does not need any proprietary services on your devices and has been developed to work well on de-g***led devices running #lineageos.
It also supports #tindie_wearables via the #gadgetbridge app.
You can get it at #fdroid, #izzyondroid and you can visit the project homepage at #codeberg
oof, misconfiguration at our end 🙈 Sincere apologies! Corrected now, 0.62.9 will show up with the next sync (and future releases in time again).
Oh, and btw: at #IzzyOnDroid of course as #reproducibleBuilds

Long read, short summary: AI is really bad for the planet.
The primary investors behind AI all seem to be linked to the fossil fuel industry.
What an odd coincidence (not), that an energy wasting technology is being funded by people who are willing to go to war over oil pipelines & oil tankers.

Québec has had a carbon tax since 2007... almost a full decade before the federal government implemented its carbon tax.
Suddenly, Quebecers want it to end?
FYI It amounts to 10 cents/litre.
Gas companies will simply increase the price by 10 cents/litre that the government of Québec doesn't want and pocket it.
Québec's environment programs are funded by that 10 cents/litre.
Gas companies would line their own pockets.

So y’all, let’s talk about how a 166 year old remnant of human suffering was finally razed to the ground by an electrical fire. I speak of course, of the largest antebellum plantation in the country. A plantation that never mentioned slavery in its marketing to bridezillas with the lack of soul it would take to dance on the graves of the slaves that built the building. Seriously, having your event at #Nottoway White Castle is literally holding a ceremony under trees where men, women and children were lynched.
So, I leave you with my favorite picture of Nottoway, and pray that the fire and destruction released any spirit who was trapped by the weight of history. Be at peace and finally at rest.

That is really great news!
...now I "only" need to convince my employer to stop actively blocking all clients except Outlook and Evolution.
...chances are slim. Really slim :(
What my IT department claims: Blocking everything is the default, they have no approval process to change it, and they require a data processing agreement with every "platform" that accesses the account.
The notion of local e-mail clients seems to have quietly dropped off the table.
...people, use alternative clients whenever you can, as long as you can, before the Powers That Be decide to forget that they exist!

We've been talking a lot about roadmaps for the last four State of the Thunders, and this volume is all about priorities. How do we set them and decide on timing for certain items? How do we make mid-development adjustments? And how do we make sure our priorities are in line with what our users need?
We're also updating you on Thunderbird Sync (Yes, Sync!), Thundermail and the Pro suite, as well as our mobile development. Watch on TILvids:
This State of the Thunder is about priorities. How do we set them, line them up with user needs, and adjust as needed? Also, updates on Thunderbird Sync, Thundermail and the Pro suite, and mobile development. Watch the entire discussion on TILvids:
1. Generate a link with [File Pizza](file.pizza) on the remote side.
2. copy the link and push clipboard from the remote side to the local side.
3. Use the link to download file on the local side.

Cyber attack on M&S likely to cost them about £300m.
Somewhere some manager refused security measures or a pentest citing the costs.
Elsewhere there's an engineer muttering "I fucking told you so" quietly while rocking back and forth.
Cyber security is one of those line items that looks purely as a cost, and not a cheap one at that.
But the risk of getting it wrong is very very high.

My meeting with electronic music was mid of the 70s when Jean Michel Jarre released his first Album "Oxygène" (1976). It was really kind of alien space music at this time. :0)
The beginnings of electronic music!

"The 1974 Eurovision Song Contest was the nineteenth edition of the competition. It took place on Saturday, April 6, 1974, in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was won by Sweden, with the song "Waterloo," performed by ABBA".
ABBA's harmonies must have had an influence on my desire to become a musician. The vocal harmonies were magnificent.
At fairs, the huge bass speakers pierced you on this song, and many others with powerful bass lines.

Please encourage the community that there is no need to edit the manifest file - if you WANT to use an add-on not marked as compatible, you can simply override it in the add-on store. And of course, if you do that, and run into any issues, the first thing to do is disable the add-on or restart NVDA with add-ons disabled.
