Corporations love to talk about empowering people of colour, while crushing their attempts to unionise.
Unionisation reduces racist sentiments, but the elites prefer cosmetic changes that blame the workers.
New article: "Corporations love minorities – unless we try to unionise" on Mutual Interest, a free online media #coop owned by readers & writers.

Nour E-Din worked on the integration of EteSync with Evolution - GNOME’s suite for managing your emails, contacts, and schedule. EteSync allows you to synchronize Calendars, Contacts & Tasks securely across your devices. See how they did it by reading their final GSoC report!

If you think these hardware cryptographic security measures are actually about customer security and not vendor control, I have printers to sell you that reject refilled ink cartridges and farm tractors you aren't allowed to repair.

libhandy 1.0.0 released. 🎉
We released it a bit in advance to let application maintainers update their submodules in time for the GNOME 3.38.0 release. 😀 That being said, we expect distros to ship libhandy as any other regular stable library. 😉

Too many people. The health of the environment is the key to sustaining humans. Any measures taken to save lives at a macro level is a threat to humanity. This is a hard truth that humanity isn't mature enough to accept. The only mitigator that doesn't involve people dying is moving people off planet. There is no viable solution in sight, but there is time, if we can find intelligence. #dumballover
