It's unlikely but not impossible that Cosmos 482 will return to Kazakhstan, where it began its journey fifty-odd years ago, which would be wonderfully poetic.

Is it "DEI" to not have raw sewage in your front lawn?

"President Trump’s rollbacks of what he calls 'DEI policies' will now impact the first environmental justice settlement citing civil rights policy in American history. In 2023, a settlement was reached in Lowndes County, Alabama to address a sanitation crisis that was described by United Nations special rapporteur Philip Alston as homes surrounded by 'cesspools of sewage that flowed out of broken or non-existent septic systems.' The settlement, while late coming, was historic in its advocacy for Black residents fighting the uphill battle of environmental racism and underfunded infrastructure by local and state governments."

"We have become numb to the taste of good software and hypnotized by the idea of free."

https://stephango.com/quality-software

We recommend reading this article about why quality software deserves your hard‑earned cash. Industrial software from big tech companies are subsidized by advertising, proprietary ecosystems, or enterprise contracts, creating the illusion that software should be cheap or "free". This often comes at the cost of your privacy and quality of the product.

Hoy quiero compartir con vosotres cómo tengo personalizado mi escritorio en mi Debian. Este es mi aporte

Mi equipo es HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF con un procesador Intel Core i7-3770 (8 hilos) a 3.90 GHz y una gráfica Intel HD Graphics 4000 (IvyBridge GT2), con 16GB DDR3

El fondo de pantalla es un cielo azul con nubes, relajante y limpio (la foto la hice yo, así que espero que os guste porque es la sorpresa que tenía preparada) :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

También tengo las extensiones Dash to Dock y Desktop Icons NG (DING)

Quería un entorno ligero, funcional y bonito, sin dejar de ser Debian puro. Me gusta cómo GNOME se siente moderno, y con el tema Yaru le doy un toque más colorido y amigable. A pesar de ser un pc con algunos años, Debian 12 va estupendamente con esta configuración. Todo funciona divino y estable.

This was not the first time and it got me upset.
Now I have a solution.

"Why I Had to Flee the United States"

"I was a political prisoner in Egypt. I didn’t want to become one again in America."

It is a time for unforgiving honesty:

The u.s. is a barbaric mockery of democracy. The current regime is locking away political prisoners and this will likely accelerate.

The u.s. has done all of this before. In this country and in others.

The OSU open source lab is one of those lynchpins for many Projects in FOSS.

Even small projects like @librecast depend on those servers. To be clear we don't host our project infrastructure with them.

But when we do a Librecast release it gets tested on Debian infrastructure to package it for #Debian and #Guix. Which OSUOSL is a part of.

So if you can spare some cash for this lab, please do so.

Our ecosystem depends on this.

A solid 24-hour sprint later -- I had to wrangle data from tables in PDFs to get a solid baseline to work with (#csv here: https://pastebin.com/JGLxQMbT) -- and I've got all of the polling stations for tomorrow's #election in Tarrant county mapped out in #osm #OpenStreetMap :D

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/23ok

I experimented a bit within the polling_station:* namespace. Thinking I might be settling into a pattern, at least for #Texas. I dunno if I want to build up explicit relations between polling places and their (typical) associated buildings/areas or not. So for now, I chucked the relation data in a tag instead.

Ideally, future elections won't be such a pain to get bootstrapped; most polling stations tend to stay the same across elections.

it's bandcamp friday, so if u wanna buy our music, today's the day to do it. ik the link is to our album, but we have other stuff on there too :)

for example, going to shows gives you an idea of how large a crowd of 100 people is. that many people working in tandem? we brought down mammoths with less. but if you spend your time inside, alone, alienated from the idea of collective effort, then of course you side with the singular Biggest Guy

@existentialcomics capitalism took the web from us, and gave us apps instead.
