Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂
Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.
We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!

Linus Torvalds: Rust will go into Linux 6.1
At the Kernel Maintainers Summit, the question wasn't, "Would Rust make it into Linux?" Instead, it was, "What to do about its compilers?"
The Rust in Linux debate is over. The implementation has begun. In an email conversation, Linux's creator @torvalds told, "Unless something odd happens, it [Rust] will make it into 6.1."

Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.

Zase se nechala slyšet moje milá paní účetní, že bankovní výpisy v událostech #AbraFlexi jsou sice fayn, ale je to málo. Chce tam všechno ...
Oficiálně tedy vyhlašuji nový projekt abraflexi-isds pro synchronizaci datové schránky s událostmi v AbraFlexi.
Termín realizace zatím není určen ale velmi jej může také ovlivnit váš názor v komentářích.
Aplikace bude jak je mým dobrým zvykem zdarma a #OpenSource.

I've been working on a thing for a few weeks, and I'm hoping there are #Language / #FileFormat / #Markdown nerds and experts on Mastodon who can provide some input and sanity-check.
I looked for an existing markdown extension file format that would allow me to write a document in multiple languages, and I couldn't find anything that fit the bill.
So, I decided to create my own. 🤷♂️
