Petition to rename 2FA to 39173847291748FA

From my browser tab -- I guess the intent could be that there is a trademark on the combination of the logo and Login? But it sure looks like they think they own Login.

TIL you can print files from the command line with "libreoffice -p" ! Life is better.

No, your honor, all of the torrented Blu-ray rips on my Plex server were being used to train AI.

Food for thought: Answering the phone on behalf of someone else, and taking messages, are now skills that just have to be taught in the professional settings where they are needed -- no longer things that a lot of people grew up doing at home. Also contemplating what it means that young kids may not be allowed their own phone yet, while at the same time living in a household that has no shared phone at all.

I feel like we've entered an era of "nobody ever got fired for requiring 2FA"

Was always sad to see Mozilla promoting a proprietary extension and centralized service over the objections of many many many people, even sadder to see them formally make it part of Mozilla, sadder yet to see them becoming just like any other company that runs and shuts down centralized services, and the saddest to see them do it without ever following through on their initial statements that all of this would become open source engadget.com/apps/mozilla-is-s -- I see there is github.com/open-pocket/open-po

GNU has its own version of bikeshedding bikeshedding where we can't talk about what color to paint the shed until we talk about whether "bike" and "shed" are the correct terms for the thing to be painted, if that's what we are going to call the activity being proposed -- but is it an activity, and is it actually a proposal...

I was so glad to get all these emails from suppliers about how they are completely absorbing the costs of tariffs! Then I woke up and looked at my real inbox, eyebrows singed by the heat of the ever more expensive dumpster fire therein. This man has very obviously never actually been anywhere near a real business. Changing prices is a lot of work -- hope someone studies just the cost of that, among all the other negative impacts.

If "community" to you means more than "the people using the software/service we own," you will find your people at #FOSSY. Talk
submissions are open until Monday, April 28th:
