Hey @hyc in this Monero Talk episode from a few days ago, Doug is begging for you to come back on his show and talk about what's been going on recently. What do you think? I'd be listening for sure! 🙂 https://www.monerotalk.live/monerotalk-360 (jump to about 51-52 minutes into the episode to find the part where he mentions you)
Since the Tornado Cash case has been in the news again lately, this older post by @molly0xfff popped up again. It's a pretty well considered article, but for the glaring omission of any mention of #Monero, still the gold standard in financial privacy. https://www.citationneeded.news/tornado-cash/
On the 51% attack on #Monero, @molly0xfff delivers context. As she always does when it comes to topics like this. Thank you, Molly! https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=monero-51-attack
I herd something strange in the woods. Looked and then there it was, just 3-4 meters away.
@Gina "Microsoft Office: Deinstallation in progress"
Those few words elicit so much joy.
I'm at the coolest network meeting for EU gov #OSPO's in Brussels today 🔥🔥
I had an opportunity to talk with Dirk Schrödter, Minister for Digitalization of Schleswig-Holstein (SH), and currently listening to SH CIO Sven Thomson's presentation.
SH is so far ahead!! They're implementing #Linux desktops, They're already using #Nextcloud and #LibreOffice, and end of this month all their gov email will be migrated from Microsoft Exchange to #OpenXChange.

"Mobile-zombie-free zone" sign spotted at a playground in #Rålambshovsparken in #Stockholm recently.
Ironically that made me pick up my own phone to take this photo, acting like another of those infamous zombies. In my defense I did not actually enter the playground, so strictly speaking I did not violate the sanctity of the mobile-zombie-free zone. Also, the phone (#Librem5 yay!) was back in pocket directly without further zombie-like behaviour. 🙂 #ShotOnLibrem5
We're happy to announce three projects will be funded to contribute to the TALER secure electronic payment system based on open standards, free software, and advanced cryptography.
The three projects are:
Libre Payments in Ruby, a GNU Taler Integration for ethical trade.
Taler in Liberapay, an implementation of Taler as payment provider in Liberapay.
And Taler OpenAPI specification, a JSON/YAML OpenAPI for key GNU Taler API's.
