May this serve as a corrective for all of us who have apparently been mispronouncing Google chatbot's name. (sound on)

Spread the word about the new Android app "Nearby Glasses" that watches for Bluetooth signals of "smart" glasses from Meta Facebook, Oakley, and Snap. No network permissions needed. AGPLv3 and coming to F-Droid ASAP.

Today, idly wondering why we stick with the "###" in #LibreOffice Calc as the indicator for "column too narrow". I know it's convention, but one of the least useful software messages I think I've ever seen.

#FOSSY26 track proposals are open!! We take our inspiration from the devrooms at FOSDEM and LinuxConfAU's miniconfs. Some of the SFC hosted tracks you can look forward to FOSS in Daily Life, Licensing / Legal, and Software Coops. Thanks for helping us build #FOSSY26

Most recently, we were forced to cancel a performance by Les Ballets Africains after artists from the Republic of Guinea were unable to obtain visas. Habib Koité, from Mali—whom we have welcomed to Boston 17 times since his first appearance with us in 2000—was forced to cancel his tour due to visa denials. We had been working to bring back Tinariwen, Tuareg artists from the Sahara region of southern Algeria and northern Mali, but their upcoming tour was abruptly halted because of visa issues."
"As Boston’s champion for global music and artists, Global Arts Live is facing a moment unlike anything in our 35-year history. This year alone, we have lost three concerts due to our federal administration’s expanding travel bans. These cancellations are heartbreaking for our audiences and devastating for the artists who rely on touring for their livelihoods.
