@ProPublica this honestly seems like a nonsensical article, PFAS being present in clothing as a water repellent are ubiquitous in technical clothing such as hiking clothes and honestly nearly any water repellent clothing worn by people who work outside.

The highest risk for firefighters is still the smoke inhalation and the inhalation of fumes from plastics etc…

Though there are of course also risks from various types of firefighting foam

It’s a great book, which I can highly recommend.

Had a great time at @orangecon today met some amazing people and attended great talks and workshops.

The EU is forcing Apple to open iOS, while Google moving to tighten Android access.

That raises a key question for Europe:
do these platform decisions support digital sovereignty, or undermine it?

So google just announced a mandatory ID check for all android developers even the ones who don’t use their marketplace….

This is honestly a horrible progression for digital sovereignty, privacy, and individual freedom,

will most likely hit developers of open source apps the hardest, and should be heavily criticized.

I really need to get a personal laptop sooner rather than later, especially since I am planning to visit some more conferences in the near future.

Shall I go with a @frameworkcomputer
I am thinking something like this:

Though sourcing the ssd and ram myself

Or shall I go with a #thinkpad e14 gen 7 with an intel 255H

It’s just a shame the MacBook air line lacks removable storage and native linux support, since I quite like the weight of them.
