ABC News redesign helps reduce doom scrolling by being ugly and difficult to use 

Folks, IANA have not said anything about .io, and until they do - don't believe anything that tries to make any bold claims.

".io is going away" - not until the actual authority who can make that decision says so, and so far they've said *nothing*.

So far in #debphoshfund our efforts were in identifying priority areas for mobile gnu/linux.

Now we are moving to the next stage, contacting maintainers of specific projects and setting up a bounty / targeted fund raising.

Our first such project is make @organicmaps adaptive / responsive on mobile screen.

Currently gnu/linux frontend is different from android and ios. It is using QT but not yet using kirigami or other options smaller screens.

This thread by x.com/SolidEvidence gives an update on the Bavarian BA.5 chronic case that has apparently been evolving in an 18-month-plus chronic infection.

It was detected in wastewater samples by x.com/LongDesertTrain.

This thread will try to add some context on the sharing of global wastewater samples.

Hey, we are #newhere. Do you want to receive official emergency alerts worldwide with just one app? The #FOSSPublicAlertServer allows apps to receive near real-time push notifications via #unifiedPush about emergency alerts from over 280 official CAP Alert Publisher. This project is a collaboration of @foss_warn and @kde. The server is still under development, but we are working on a first beta version in the near future. 🚀

Stay tuned...

#OpenSSH 9.9p1 is out. This disables #DSA by default at compile time, full removal of code planned for Q1 2025 (which is approaching fast, for those of us with ossified old infrastructures :-/ ).

This also now includes ML-KEM / FIPS203 support using "mlkem768x25519-sha256" (datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/) as a kex (OpenSSH has done #PQC kex via sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com for a while; this update also improves that implementation).

“Lebanese friend of mine is trying to get information about his family & said something I didn’t even stop to consider today. He said ‘a lot of people are hesitant to answer texts right now’.

Current reporting from NYT and others (gift link: nytimes.com/live/2024/09/17/wo) essentially confirms the speculation: Supply chain tampering with a new batch 3000 pagers from Taiwan ordered by Hezbollah involving adding 2oz of explosive material near the battery. Reports of 2800 injured, implying that essentially all of them went off, apparently nearly simultaneously, suggesting this was not targeting particular individuals (just anyone with a pager in the batch). At least nine deaths so far.

The push for an "age verification" requirement on the Internet is 1% aimed at protecting children and 99% aimed at controlling speech. It effectively bans anonymity, for starters.

It is a license to speak, and read.
