utility resilience/emergency planning needs to include places where customers can cool off or warm up and access the electricity that underpins our modern life’s necessities. But in order for that to provide relief to be effective, utilities need to communicate the location of such locations before the event and have a plan to direct those in need to help during the event. This communication strategy and outreach must meet community members where they are.




Is there a way to switch Wayland WMs on a per-workspace basis? I'd love to switch between swaywm and labwc without having to restart my whole session. Seems like a long shot, but maybe?

Fun. Asking Microsoft Copilot for information on disabling it results in it saying that it cannot help with that request.

Now do you know why I prefer running Linux?

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.58 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Search by content also looks into alt-text from attachments (images, videos, etc.).

Search by content is case insensitive for all Unicode-supported alphabets (previously was only for ASCII characters).

Added support for bookmarking posts.

Fixed a failed compilation under Solaris/Illumos.

The actor Person object now includes a featured property, that returns the list of pinned posts.

The delete post button can now be hidden server-wise (it's not very useful and clutters the space).

The lists of pinned and bookmarked posts are directly accesible from the private timeline.

Thank you for your continued improvements to snac!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to version 2.58 here:

github.com/macports/macports-p…

GitHub Actions CI checks passed OK!

I don't have commit access, so it's up to someone else to merge it.

These fucking people.



“US govt charged Russian-born US citizen and former adviser to #Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign with working for a sanctioned Russian state television network and laundering the proceeds.

Simes and his wife received over $1 mil & a personal car & driver in exch for work they did for #Russia’s Channel One. The state television network was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2022 over Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine.

Simes & his wife have home in Va & believed to be in Russia” apnews.com/article/f0b0fe681c8…

in reply to Laffy

I just love hearing the sound of falling traitors. No doubt Simes and his wife will remain in Russia for an extended visit.

Le premier acte de Barnier comme Premier ministre: effacer son blog où il fustige les chômeurs qui "vivent aux crochet de l'Etat" et "augmenter le nombre d’heures travaillées" pour "retrouver l'honneur du travail". Dans la droite ligne de Macron, finalement. web.archive.org/web/2024022822…

après tout n'est pas à jeter, je suis d'accord avec lui sur le fait qu'il faut réduire l'écart entre salaire brut et salaire net. Pour le reste par contre... 🤮

Pour info, son fils a travaillé pour LREM en 2017, et s'était même présenté en Belgique sous l'étiquette d'un parti affilié à LREM.
