Being obliterated so that shareholders can amass imaginary wealth.

It’s as heartbreaking as it is shameful.” - ClimateDad77 on X

THIS should be front-page news every day.

THIS should be the primary focus of every major world leader.

But it's not.

Instead, all we get month after month is just more Business As Usual.

Dr. Robert Rohde (@RARohde) delivers the latest update on our global climate emergency:

"The last 12 months were each at least 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) warmer than Berkeley Earth's 1850-1900 baseline. This brings the 12-month moving average of Earth's global temperature to a record high of +1.68°C (+3.02°F) above the 1850-1900 baseline, far surpassing previous short-term warming events."

The CrowdStrike developer who wrote the defective update knocking out computer systems around the globe proves that one person really can make a difference.

fail2ban has one core maintainer https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban and he has only 3 Github sponsors https://github.com/sebres

WTF

I can't even comprehend how many servers are protected by fail2ban, how many compromises are avoided, how many people who run hobby things all the way up to major sites that get to sleep soundly every night... because of this single project.

Microsoft banned Palestinians from its products because they called their families in Gaza on Skype.

I’ve met Palestinians who’ve lost their relatives in Israeli bombardments. People involved in Gaza humanitarian aid.

American corporations can cut them off from essential internet/communication services on a lark.

More than 60% of those surveyed said they posted fake jobs “to make employees believe their workload would be alleviated by new workers.” 62% of companies said another reason for the shady practice is to “have employees feel replaceable.” #Work #WorkLifebalance #Hiring #Jobs https://qz.com/companies-posting-fake-job-listings-resume-builder-1851556777?utm_content=1851558179&utm_source=email&utm_medium=Quartz_At_Work

• The top 1% are responsible for more environmental damage than the poorest 50%
• Top 1% get about 40% of all new wealth created. Poorest 50% get 2%.

Wrapping up a very productive GNOME design call… about accent colors! We addressed every single blocking topic and have a clear way forward. I don’t want to promise anything specific (especially timelines), buuuut it’s looking good to me.

I might write up a blog post to summarize the direction once we sort some of the little details out. But there’s a pretty good consensus across half a dozen or so people doing the work—harder than it sounds. 😅

Showtime, the video player I'm developing for #GNOME has entered Incubator and is available on the GNOME Nightly repo for testing

I'm hoping for it to replace Totem (Videos) in GNOME 48 and I will publish it on Flathub soon.
