I changed my profile picture! If you follow me since a while, and you are also a visual animal like me, you might get confused by this. Therefore here my old picture (elephant).

echo Үourbank.com | hexdump -c # Send suspected unicode text through hexdump -c to confirm it. A normal ASCII 'y' would show up as y in the output, but unicode would have multiple codes per character. This is called a Homoglyph Attack.

GNOME 3.38 was released a couple of minutes ago and you can already give it a test-drive by grabbing the latest Boxes from Flathub. 🎉
This is the first release for which we can provide our own @gnome installer images for debugging and testing features.

You should follow Distributed Denial of Secrets on here. They've been draconianly suspended from Twitter for publishing BlueLeaks, an 270gb archive of leaked police documents @ddosecrets

“...luxury always comes at someone else’s expense. One of the many advantages of civilization is that one doesn’t generally have to see that, if one doesn’t wish. You’re free to enjoy its benefits without troubling your conscience.”
Ancillary Justice (by Ann Leckie)
I watched #Tenet last night. I quite enjoyed it, even though (or rather because) the plot was difficult to follow. Spent another few hours afterwards reading through discussions of the storyline.

The binary solution is short term, we also need a means to bust out of it.

Throwback to the time when I handed in a vacation request in which I had properly ISO-formatted all dates. Our secretary was having none of it, had to redo it.

Can you have two accounts on Mastodon that are actually the same account? So if your instance goes down you can switch to another instance.

Yay, Briar GTK got a beta release, including .deb packages!

If you backport python3-websockets and libhandy/gir1.2-handy (which is pretty straightforward), it works on Debian stable (Buster)!

Meanwhile in #Germany cops let dogs attack demonstrators in #Braunschweig at the protest against far right. Fun fact - Braunschweig was the city that gave Hitler his citizenship so he can become "the great leader".

but at what cost! I mean rank 97 out of 163 in access to quality health care is unsettling for such a rich country.

US are one of only three countries where "social progress index" is decreasing, fell from position 19 in 2011 to 28 now.
"The United States ranks No. 1 in the world in quality of universities, but No. 91 in access to quality basic education. The U.S. leads the world in medical technology, yet we are No. 97 in access to quality health care."
That's what I would've expected from a hypercapitalistic country. One cannot deny that the US are pushing us forward in Science and Technology,
