Uh oh, that might be a bit of a problem. We've heard that @Liz had to leave her house to fix a neighbor's tech issue, they live 3 doors down.
...When are we going to stop leaving social media to hampsters?

Getting closer to Thundermail, Thunderbird Appointment and Thunderbird Send (all dubbed Thunderbird Pro) landing in a wider set of users' hands. It has been a long journey, going from strictly making email clients to offering services (all open source, of course).
I'm excited for the next phase: making the Thunderbird suite of tools, based on open source software and using open standards, capable of replacing the big tech stacks (Microsoft O365 and Gmail/Workspace).

I'm gonna take a wild guess that PFS and PQC didn't help them

Regulatory action works yet again. Microsoft 365 customers are being refunded in Australia after MS rammed Copilot into the product to jack the subscription price. Unfortunately most countries don’t have good regulation in this area.

Mamdani won young men. He won lower and middle income people. He won non-white voters. All the demographics Democrats say are so important. He won.
But the Democrats backed the old rich white guy, who led with rich white people and nobody else. And they're still mad about it. So what does that tell you about the Democrats?
Australia has so much extra electricity during daylight hours (due to solar) that they're considering offering their citizens basically free electricity during the day.
Imagine living in a country that has the ability to offer free electricity to its own citizens, instead of one that shuts down funding for solar projects.
Australia is an awesome forward-thinking, future-proofing country.
Nie sądziłem, że tego doczekam, to jedna z najważniejszych zmian na polskim rynku nieruchomości.
Prezydent podpisał ustawę o uwolnieniu dostępu do Rejestru Cen Nieruchomości. A to oznacza, że będzie można sprawdzać transakcyjne ceny konkretnych mieszkań.
Do tej pory te rejestry były głównie zakiszone dla pośredników, co znacząco zwiększało asymetrię informacyjną, bo sprzedający czy kupujący de facto nie wiedzieli, po ile chodzą mieszkania czy domy w okolicy.
Zawsze zastanawiałem się, jak to jest, że w UK mogę wejść na jeden z portali, wpisać adres domu i zobaczyć wszystkie jego transakcje z ostatnich kilkudziesięciu lat - daty i ceny.
Nie wiem jak to będzie wdrożone, ale mam nadzieję, że podobnie i u nas. :)
Na razie jest np. taki portal freercn.pl/ - będzie napełniony danymi, jak w lutym ustawa wejdzie w życie.

It came in heavier than I planned, but here's my blog post about how to use Bacula for the people who asked about it but were too intimidated by its complexity

I've had several people ask about Bacula because it's not quite as well known among tech folks unless you've ever been tasked to venture out and find a replacement for some horrible proprietary tape library backup software.Makefile.feld

I encourage every Albertan (and Canadian really) to listen to what UCP MLAs have to say about the notwithstanding clause, it boils down to something very simple:
We support the Canadian Constitution, and that includes the notwithstanding clause, because we believe those rights were never actually meant to be for everybody. We’ll be the judge of who gets rights and who doesn’t.
Their position really is that simple: rights aren’t for everyone.
And that’s why *every* Albertan - every Canadian - should be working to get these people and their ideological cousins (in Ottawa and elsewhere) out of office and as far from any influence in society as possible as quickly as possible.

in reply to Jamie Teh • • •It does confirm that Defender is still running, though yes, nothing actionable. Although I feel mine is worse because mine MAY require some action from me - if it's disabled my app which warns of nearby packs of marauding drop bears and I don't know - maybe I just didn't get any notifications lately because there simply haven't been any drop bear attacks in my area? Or maybe my neighbour just got eaten, and I don't know because my phone disabled the alert I specifically setup the app to give me?
Either way, questionable UI

in reply to Jamie Teh • • •Ah, that's one of those quote of the day notifications!
And yet......
When I tap on it......
It doesn't show me the rest of the quote.... Damnit! Do none of these notifications work?! :D
