The Council of the EU has adopted the #CRA Cyber Resilience Act yesterday. This will have huge consequences for everyone who ships hardware and software as a product. Almost no actual open source developers face direct regulation (for writing software), but the users of our open source software very much do. The CRA notably suggests that commercial users pony up for improved open source security attestation. It is a big act, but it offers real possibilities for making better software! 1/2

Steam Deck officially comes to Australia in November gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/stea…

#SteamDeck #Steam #Valve

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Nice, the Deck has been available in Australia for about a year through large brand grey importers (complete with an independent warranty), and smaller places since it came out. Good to see official support.



So much easier to sleep when you are covered in polar fleece!

3 years ago, we filed a complaint with the EU Commission against Microsoft's anti-competitive practices 🕵🏼‍♀️

Today, German antitrust authorities rule to hold them accountable.

Let's keep the pressure on for a fair and competitive tech industry! 🦾

That little fellow is Pengu. His original children's program was just adorbs!
in reply to Muse

Electric cars should have a bullhorn outputting pingu noises corresponding to ac/deceleration and other control inputs.
in reply to Muse

My car needs a Pengu bullhorn that proudly declares, "BTW, I use Arch Linux!"

I know that the French have a bad reputation when they travel abroad, more so than other nationalities... and they also have a reputation for being grouchy!
Mass tourism brings uneducated people face to face with other cultures, and this often causes sparks to fly... Such is our world :/

But to get back to the French language, it's rare for foreigners to try to speak it. That's why it's appreciated. The pronunciation is very tricky... There are lots of letters that are not pronounced the same depending on their place in the word...
But this map is just a kind of joke and France is not only Paris ;))

in reply to Muse

"France is not only Paris ;))"

Absolutely not! Why simply go to Paris in order to see the work of great artists, when you can go to the countryside and see where those paintings were created!

The Nobel committee out here doing the devil’s work. They've moved on from their specialty in awarding peace prizes to genociders, to now giving Hinton one in…physics?

So the news is gonna be "Nobel laureate" telling us that “super intelligent” text synthesis machines will render us extinct 🙄

This dude is now a "Nobel laureate."

"he said Gebru’s ideas “aren’t as existentially serious as the idea of these things getting more intelligent than us and taking over.”
