Les institutions juives marseillaises ne font plus barrage au RN

Just use #Slackware and your distro hopping will be something of the past.
Plain Ubuntu, provisionally.
We were using Mint for recycling Win10 and older machines, but computer now hangs during big datafile copies. That's a fatal fault because every such computer rescue compromises data of inexperienced users.
Need to know if Ubuntu is safe in that respect.
Waiting to see what systems official European initiatives will decide are safe and reliable.
A safe and reliable OS would firstly have a file copy function that doesn't hang, that reliably informs user of errors and informs in plain language of what do do in case of trouble.
Similar worry about widely-used software: LibreOffice has well-known fatal design faults.
廖梅璇／彼處，她的城──讀韓麗珠《裸山》
距反送中運動已逾5年，眾多香港作家憑藉書寫，回顧暴力與不義，抵抗政府消抹記憶。韓麗珠的書寫，如雅人作畫，由後延的失神荒廢中，從「無」生出草字頭，求索空無之後的「蕪」。蕪廢中，或可有最大的自由，容讓未來生發出來。

黃世澤／不服從的影像：2025亞爾國際攝影節現場觀察與省思
一個文化節慶的靈魂，在於一個強而有力的核心哲學。「不羈」是年度主題，但亞爾國際攝影節歷年主題和展覽內容都與「不服從」、「批判性」、「回應時代危機」等概念相呼應，超越了單純的展覽拼湊，成為一個持續提問的思想場域⋯⋯

【獨家取得台師大研究案報告】國科會精準運科計畫僅冰山一角，女足選手恐「同時供血」多項研究案
《報導者》獨家掌握台師大研究倫理審查委員會調查報告，明確指出執行國科會精準運科研究計畫過程中擅自變更計畫內容、未落實知情同意，甚至未揭露周台英為研究參與者所屬球隊教練的利益衝突；也查到周與陳忠慶近年發表多篇國際論文、部分研究時間與國科會精準運科計畫重疊，即台師大女足學生可能同時間接受不同研究案的採血⋯⋯
