How it goes every time I try to contribute to a #FOSS project and I
1) find the issue (fix the issue),
2) try to understand the project's testing process,
3) read the contributing guidelines,
4) read the style guide,
and so on...

RIP my OSS contributions.

🚀 Our R&D Engineer @michitux is presenting today at the 6th International Open Search Symposium (#OSSym24) in Munich. He’s giving a talk about the WAISE project, a cool LLM-based search extension we developed at XWiki.

WAISE enhances search functionality not just for XWiki, but also for other apps, and today Michael will discuss how it could leverage an open web index with OpenWebSearch.eu.

Climate change is a huge issue but the mainstream media refuse to take it seriously.

cross that with my realization that not having a tracking device on you, whether by choice, accident or theft, has become a disability that doesn't get much attention WRT accessibility, and the harm is even greater than the immediate material loss



Surveilling Europe’s edges: when digitalisation means dehumanisation


In May 2024, Access Now’s Caterina Rodelli travelled across Greece to meet with local civil society organisations supporting migrant people and monitoring human rights violations, and to see first-hand how and where surveillance technologies are deployed at Europe’s borders. In the first of a three-part blog series reflecting on what she saw, Caterina explains how, all too often, digitalising borders dehumanises the people trying to cross them.

The post Surveilling Europe’s edges: when digitalisation means dehumanisation appeared first on European Digital Rights (EDRi).

‘Nederlands beste universiteit’ TU Delft kukelt uit top-50 wereldranglijst, maar zijn ze Ă©cht slechter? ad.nl/delft/nederlands-beste-u


Goed om te zien dat het #AD ruimte biedt voor een kritisch perspectief op de #THE World University Rankings.

En mooi dat #UNL duidelijk stelling neemt: "Universiteitsranglijsten die de prestaties van universiteiten in Ă©Ă©n enkel getal willen vatten, doen geen recht aan al het belangrijke werk op universiteiten"

The United States spent at least $22.76 billion funding Israel’s military operations in the year following the Oct. 7 attacks, a new analysis from Brown University has found. And that’s a conservative estimate.

In a new 'Vibe Check,' Kat Abughazaleh counts the ways the US could have spent its money, rather than fueling the destruction of Gaza.

“$22 billion is a lot of money and it’s coming from your pocket.” Abughazaleh notes.
