38 years ago this week! Originally performed and recorded with #BlueAngel. This version features #BillyJoel on background vocals! #CyndiLauper 😍❤️ ffm.to/maybehellknow
Strange New Worlds rewatch:
Q: What does Captain Pike's fireplace burn? The ship's a closed system.
A: As a closed system, it must filter out waste gases, like CO2, produced by the crew.
CO2 doesn't burn. But people produce another gas that must be gathered and disposed of. And that *is* flammable.
#StarTrek #BlueAngel
That term deserves a hashtag!
(Distinct from #BlueAngel, #BlueFart and #Australia's #BlueFlame.)
La comunidad #KDE no para y en KDE España intentamos seguirle el ritmo. En este caso con el episodio 34 de #KDEexpress en el que se mencionan noticias de:
#EcoLabel #BlueAngel, #Accesibilidad, #KDEGears, #Tellico, #Plasma6.2, #Donaciones, @slimbook y #Agricultura
Gracias a @raivenra por si impagable labor en la edición.
Y como siempre las notas del programa las tenéis en https://kdeexpress.gitlab.io/
"What's New In The Revised Blue Angel Criteria" 💙
Learn about what the changes mean for #KDE / #FOSS:

The Blue Angel #ecolabel is the official #environmental label awarded by the German government.
Now #smartphone apps & client-server systems can be certified as #sustainable 🌻, along with desktop software like #Okular as before. And more!

To do something good for our #environment, the #UBChemnitz now has #sustainable, #environmentally friendly printer paper! Steinbeis No. 2 is made from 100% recycled paper without the use of bleaching agents containing chlorine. The #paper has been awarded the #BlueAngel and the EU Ecolabel. There is a difference in colour, so pay attention to this when selecting a Multifunctional device / printer. We will label the device in room 324 for you, where the old paper is still being used.
You may wonder: What does sustainability have to do with software at all? How can something immaterial like software have an environmental footprint?
Find some answers in the KDE handbook "Applying The Blue Angel Criteria To Free Software"!
And watch the #KDEEco talk at #37C3 "Software Licensing For A Circular Economy"

Are you old? Here's Blue Angel, the band Cyndi Lauper was in before going solo. #BlueAngel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwBM6TMOCXI
@Cindbar @kde saw Okluar yesterday but didn't know about #BlueAngel. Thanks! Let me try it.

@kde Okular file viewer for PDF and other file formats. #Okular is the very first software product to receive the #BlueAngel ecolabel for being resource and energy efficient.

Musical Interlude: I've seen Ute Lemper in concert a couple of times and she always puts on a good show. Here she is, doing a tune that Marlene Dietrich made famous...and I always thought of her as a modern Dietrich, even though she shuns the comparison.
"They Call Me Naughty Lola," performed by Ute Lemper.
How can something immaterial like software have an #environmental footprint? What do ecolabels have to do with software design? Why do we ❤ Free Software today and every day ... also because it is sustainable software?
We explore these and other questions in #KDEEco's new measurement handbook "Applying The #BlueAngel Criteria To Free Software: A Handbook To Certify Software As #Sustainable".

We need more free and open source software and hardware projects with the "Blue Angel" certification!
Congratulations to @kde for the certification of their "okular" project.
