I'm baffled that the Linux Foundation is supporting Google-based browsers, but it is.
Apparently the idea is to broaden the ecosystem, but I don't see how anyone but Google benefits from this in the long run.

When Roy Austin was hired to run a new civil rights team in 2021, the company called it โan incredibly important role for Facebook and for the tech industry.โ Now, Austin announces he is leaving on the same day that Meta is ending all DEI programs.Alex Heath (The Verge)

โWhen an 84-year-old man in Hong Kong was admitted to a hospital for a condition related to an enlarged prostate, doctors noticed something elseโhe was oddly gray.
His skin had an ashen appearance. His fingernails and the whites of his eyes had become silvery. When doctors took a skin biopsy, they could see tiny, dark granules sitting in the fibers of his skin, in his blood vessels, in the membranes of his sweat glands, and in his hair follicles.
A blood test made clear what the problem was: the concentration of silver in his serum was 423 nmol/L, over 40 times the reference level for a normal result.โ

"Difficult, not hopeless, times ahead"
I can do difficult. I always have. I hope this is true. I think all we can do is a little each day. Think about how each action can have further effects.
I've been doing this. It's been building bit by bit. But I'd really like to find some good ways to volunteer more.

OK, after a long hiatus I managed to spend some time to write a small piece about how to package Python libraries as RPMS using Mock and PODMAN. It's being reviewed, will share the link once is public.
In the meantime, a sneak peak of the article cover, I took this photo while visiting Campo Marzio in Rome, Italy.
