I hear from the editor that the first regular issue of the American Indian Culture and Research Journal since going open access will be out in the next week or less. It's an issue that touches on a breaking case of "race shifting" or self-indigenization, resource extraction, Indigenous paranormal connections, healing, and land grant universities. Yeah seriously 😀
CISA's advisory on the Microsoft 365 compromise is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than the Microsoft advisory - contains actionable hunting and logging information. Kinda nuts that the US Government are providing better information about Microsoft than Microsoft.

Hey folks, popping on to share that, thankfully, my part of #Vermont was spared the worst of the recent flooding, though our cooperative #CSA farm is currently under several feet of water, so the crops are kaput for the rest of the year.
A lot of folks' lives have been turned upside down by this, especially in the more rural and mountainous areas. If you're feeling generous and want to contribute to recovery efforts, the Vermont Farm Fund is one good place to send $: https://www.vtfarmfund.org/

In other words they are a folly, producing only a marginal improvement in #energy security while at the same time massively expensive and contributing to #GlobalWarming.

This is a bad step by the EU, bowing to pressure from #lobbying.
I’ve been looking for #journalism that doesn’t just shock with how serious the #ClimateCrisis threat is, but that holds to account the powerful people and institutions that control the big decisions determining our future. Anyone seen this kind of reoprting? Instead, we’re getting stories blaming ordinary people for not caring enough https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/10/climate/climate-change-extreme-weather.html?unlocked_article_code=fGyFF_OByAnuDnTSaUlLDcYnqKwOhRwXT5hNTXx2Q7dceJ-Eqb5tOn-sfNzIHKiRjuDWuuFCsOSaygB8EBbkJh2KbJ-wWURnivABASa9QZ_wNFvHDDVOHpmooxckdIe_zX-oj4_A390TlR3YAPofayiPNbYC1hCDNpi5PO2EJg5X5zv8yMDpggT07xgpuvSmiMYPhJYT5ltoR91o3UqnlzEa-fu357iasklI-n1Xd2k1FasgZPr7nyEFWXJ3QFWKJUHLD6Zp6xPDY7FN3nb46Rc74gj_hcjSyhP9LpXQM9rTrt26VzQg_AilSYONmbvZgewdFicHXUNjXt_TAHTwFtRL2XNRs0i7&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare How about laying out the many actions that have been identified for helping, who controls them and what’s being done? #USPol #ClimateChange

#TechRights recently posted some #IBM financials; looks like we'll be saying goodbye soon. They've also posted about more #Microsoft layoffs this month, and loss of marketshare in search and desktop for Microsoft. Maybe in another decade or two we'll have a computer industry without IBM and Microsoft.
Meanwhile #Canonical and #RedHat are showing the dangers of mixing #capitalism with #FOSS, as they have become two companies for FOSS supporters to avoid.
