Ars Technica: German state gov. ditching Windows for Linux, 30K workers migrating

Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germany’s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.

Welp, I finally did it. I deleted all my Twitter accounts and uninstalled the app. In honor of the account I've had for around 12 years, I've decided to change my Fedi name to my old Twitter name 🫡
I will now be Hootle McTootle for the foreseeable future

Any experienced C developers among my followers? #BoostsWelcome.

Expat, arguably the world's most popular #XML parser, is understaffed and without funding. As #xz has shown, situations like this are dangerous.

Last month, maintainer Sebastian Pipping put up a plea for help at https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_6_2/expat/Changes

(I would help myself, but my C skills barely surpass "Hello, World".)

2 April 1942 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Mietje Blok, was born in The Hague.

She arrived at Auschwitz on 14 December 1942 in a transport of 757 Jews deported from the occupied Netherlands. She was among the 636 people murdered after selection in a gas chamber.

7 years ago today, I arrived in Stockholm from San Francisco. Jag älskar Sverige. 💙 💛

Oh look, more spam sent to my server from Google's Gmail servers, complete with valid DKIM.

This is your reminder that all of the "anti-spam" stuff that Google uses as an excuse to deny inbound email to Gmail users is actually just anti-competitive nonsense that does not work. They're the largest source of spam themselves. The call is coming from inside the house.

Är du sugen på att bli min kollega på CERT-SE?

Vi kör egen it-miljö från kablar upp till BGP. Miljön är 100% linux, helt automatiserad med setenforece 1 överallt.

Varför jobba med it-säkerhet i det lilla, när du kan jobba nationellt?

Delvis remote.

Who uses @signalapp on a #Linux #Wayland #touch device on #aarch64 architecture?

I do on a #Librem5, via the flatpak provided by @adamth (Elagost).

There is one bug though that I would love to see fixed, and that is that when attaching a file in Signal, the #virtual #keyboard stops responding in Signal.

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/5798

Do you experience this bug as well?

Is there an #Electron #developer who could help fixing this bug?
