📢📢📢 Urgent call for action against Chat Control!

The EU still wants to pass the infamous "Chat Control" law, that would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and can transform EU into a digital Gulag. Currently only 3 countries oppose this law, while 15 member states support it and 9 remain indecisive.

This means, the balance can still be shifted! It is very important to influence at least those who are in doubt. For instance, you can contact a MEP (Member of the European Parliament) and demand to oppose to Chat Control.

There is a tool that automates the process of writing and sending such letters:

Please check it out and send at least one letter!

FYI the ebook of Old Man's War is going for $1.99 here in US/Canada at (most) ebook stores, for, I think, today. Get it! Cheap! And then buy all the rest of the series including the upcoming seventh installment, The Shattering Peace! The cats need tuna!

I am reminded of Pulse on BeOS, which would allow you to disable CPUs on a multiprocessor system by simply unchecking a box in the UI.

There was nothing stopping you from disabling all CPUs.

For 20 years Mozilla has developed one of, if not the most useful tools that web developers have.

Congratulations to the MDN team on such an awesome milestone. I'm happy that we've played some small part in its history and I'm excited to see how it continues to be central to every web developers job.

Python slithers to the top of the programming language leaderboard

After helping five friends in the last two months transition from #windows to #linux here are my thoughts:

1. Show case both #kde and #gnome before you pick it form them. 2/5 Decided to try KDE because it reminded them of Windows and the rest wanted Gnome because they where tired of windows UI
2. Do not fill their head with distros, go with one where it is easy to get support. I went with @fedora as it is the one I know best and like the resource for. So far only one has swapped (to Ubuntu)

@dracula POV: You updated arch
