Some of you know today as π-day.

But the real insiders know that today is the 30th anniversary of the 1.0 release of Linux.

Biden calls for expanded child tax credit, taxes on wealthy in $7.3 trillion budget plan https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/031224_biden_budget/biden-calls-expanded-child-tax-credit-taxes-wealthy-73-trillion-budget-plan/
President Joe Biden released his budget request for the upcoming fiscal year, calling on Congress to stick to the spending agreement brokered last year and to revamp tax laws so that the “wealthy pay their fair share.”

Albert Einstein’s first wife Mileva (Mitza) Marić was also a brilliant physicist. They met at the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich, where she had fought for special permissions to attend and where she received higher marks than Albert. Mitza put in as much if not more work on their theories but wasn’t credited because Albert told her their works wouldn’t get published with a woman’s name on them. Many of his lecture notes are in Mitza’s handwriting, and Albert was once heard at a party saying, “I need my wife, she helps solve all of my mathematical problems.” 80% of Einstein’s famous works were published during this marriage, referred to as his “magic years.” Those magic years ended abruptly after they divorced due to his infidelity and abandonment.

Happy #womenshistorymonth

You remember the "<Application> is ready" in GNOME or when you click on a notification the app isn't focused?

This will be finally fixed in GNOME 46

i think the EU should pass legislation that enforces standards based 2factor auth (like totp/hotp) for banks, health insurance etc. it is absolutely unacceptable that people are _forced_ to buy android/ios smartphones to use critical services

With some preparatory work to allow plugins to use objects from #phosh core and @arunmani 's nice work on custom quick settings already merged the often asked for caffeine toggle is within reach:

#gtk #gnome #LinuxMobile

We shouldn’t be forced to show ID to get online. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/02/eff-opposes-california-initiative-would-cause-mass-censorship

What Apple is going to do to PWAs in less than two weeks in the EU is dastardly.

Their goal is to remove the only versions of Push, Fullscreen, Homescreen Icons, and Badging that didn't require paying them to be in the App Store *and make sure no other browser can have them either*.

They tried to sneak it under the noise of the alt-store drama, in a clearly premeditated fashion.

It's no exaggeration to say they've gone to war with the web & we don't owe the benefit of the doubt ever again.

Ship 28 was removed from Booster 10 this morning and crews are currently working on the hot stage ring clamps.

I just backed up my entire phones eMMC storage using https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive no propertairy weird apps with limitations no nothing.

Just a bootloader that makes the internal storage appear as removable drive.

I never have to fear about reconfiguring my phone, losing app data or configuration again.

Brick the phone, just reflash the last complete image backup and we are back.

I can't understate how mindblowingly powerful this is

After being sent this abomination of a link (the actual link is 34 character, the tracking IDs total 486 characters), I got the idea that not only could Chatty strip out the tracking IDs from a URL from display, but it would could also auto remove them when you send a message: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Chatty/-/merge_requests/1313

Because friends don't let friends send tracking IDs.
