EFF is closed today as part of the national shutdown in opposition to ICE and CBP and the brutality and terror they and other federal agencies continue to inflict on immigrant communities and any who stand with them. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/eff-close-friday-solidarity-national-shutdown

Must see from @euronews:

"Fact check: Is the EU launching a social media platform called 'W'?"

🔗 : https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/01/29/fact-check-is-the-eu-launching-a-social-media-platform-called-w

"A spokesperson for the European Commission told The Cube, Euronews' fact-checking team, that the EU is not launching or funding any social media platform, and that there is currently no EU-backed project called "W".

[...] W is a privately owned social media start-up incorporated in Sweden, backed by private investors mainly from the Nordic region."

Packing for #FOSDEM 🥳

I have so many items of clothing promoting the Fediverse that I could change outfits multiple times a day 😂

If anyone is interested in a forest green sweatshirt that says "the future is federated" (size small, unisex) let me know. I had it remade (comped) because v1 came out differently than my mockup.

I'll have it with me tomorrow, just ask.

See you around! I'm sooo exciteeeeeed

Department of the Unlikely:

If anyone wants to sell a couple of tickets to the World Baseball Classic game on 8 March in Tokyo, I'm interested. DM please.

American jews apply for German passports to escape the Trump regime.

Let that sink in.

Does anyone know a way to donate (online) to a Democratic candidate without going through Act Blue? I don't trust it anymore.

Please don't tell me why I should trust Act Blue. For me, that ship has sailed.

This is about alternatives.

Americans have a First Amendment right to record law enforcement while they're doing their jobs publicly, so long as they don't interfere. "The right is pretty unequivocal at this point," EFF’s Sophia Cope told USA Today. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/29/immigration-enforcement-social-media-battle/88361181007/

Enough is enough. A national general strike is happening tomorrow, Jan 30th. No work. No school. No Shopping. Stop Funding ICE.

OMG @braillerap just gifted us an English and a German #Braille version of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards and Raspberry Ice Cream". 🤗

It is the first complete book printed this way with #FreeSoftware (#OpenSource) and #Openhardware 🥰

We will have a copy at the @fsfe booth during #Fosdem and @nicorikken will cover the story in our talk on Sunday at 14 https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/R9Q9ZP-ada-zangemann-bestseller-automation/ Big thank you!! 👏

We've just merged some code to automatically scale up the on screen keyboard in landscape on larger screens like tablets also allowing it to use more horizontal space.

While at that we also added the necessary bits to scale up font and icons on the keyboard's keys accordingly which also helps on phones when going to higher resolutions.

There's still some low hanging improvements like scaling down in landscape on phones or improving the touch area for the shortcuts and completion bars. Let us know if you want to help with that!

Followup on yesterday- Does anyone know how much $$ data centers tend to make?

Any metrics are useful- per square meter, per unit computing capacity, whatever.
