So... there's a free software conference (#FOSSY [1]) in #pdx (Portland, OR) this year, and I was thinking of applying to have a table there where folks could bring (supported) devices they want to flash with #postmarketOS, or just to hang out and chat about pmOS or #linuxmobile.

Does this sound like a good idea?

There is evidence that peer reviewers are using bullshit generators (chatbots) to generate evaluations of submitted papers. Since those programs don't really understand the articles that are being reviewed, or the subject that those are about, this is asking for error. Please don't call those programs "AI"!

"This war is brutal. This war is disproportionate. This war is without precaution.

It also demonstrates the flagrant disregard of the ruling on the prevention of genocide from the International Court of Justice on 26 January and again two months later on 28 March."

Ars Technica: German state gov. ditching Windows for Linux, 30K workers migrating

Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germany’s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.

Now is the time to put pressure on our governments! #Pirates

Welp, I finally did it. I deleted all my Twitter accounts and uninstalled the app. In honor of the account I've had for around 12 years, I've decided to change my Fedi name to my old Twitter name 🫡
I will now be Hootle McTootle for the foreseeable future

Any experienced C developers among my followers? #BoostsWelcome.

Expat, arguably the world's most popular #XML parser, is understaffed and without funding. As #xz has shown, situations like this are dangerous.

Last month, maintainer Sebastian Pipping put up a plea for help at https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_6_2/expat/Changes

(I would help myself, but my C skills barely surpass "Hello, World".)
