Joint Commitment to Strengthening Open Research Europe

In December 2024, ten leading European research funding organizations, including the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), signed a Statement of Intent to jointly support and further develop the Open Research Europe (ORE) publication platform.

@SheDrivesMobility und Politiker wie Merz reagieren wie folgt auf den Hinweis, dass die Niedriglöhne und Bürgergeld zu niedrig sind, um sich gesund zu ernähren: Dafür gibt's doch die Tafel. Mit andren Worten: Die Politik tut so, als wäre der private Hilfsverein namens Tafel Teil der staatlichen Fürsorge, wodurch entsprechend weniger Geld gezahlt werden muss. DAS ist nicht nur dreist, das ist eine Pervertierung in Ansichten und Argumentation.
🎉 Big news! Stalwart Labs has received a grant from @nlnet to build calendar, contacts, and file storage support into Stalwart Mail Server.
A full self-hosted collaboration suite is on the way! Learn more at https://stalw.art/blog/nlnet-grant-collaboration/
Stalwart Receives NLNet Grant to Build Collaboration Server | Stalwart Labs

We’re happy to announce that Stalwart Labs has been awarded a new grant from the NGI0 Core Fund, established by NLnet with financial support from the European Commission’s Next Generation Internet programme. This funding will support the development of essential collaboration features, marking a major milestone in Stalwart’s evolution from a modern email server into a complete, self-hosted collaboration platform.

@lynnesbian I'm wondering if Gtk and Adwaita could static_assert these things. Then you wouldn't even need to search for the documentation.

Oh look, Starlink is continuing to screw up the sky in every way possible.

"Second-Generation Starlink Satellites Leak 30 Times More Radio Interference, Threatening Astronomical Observations"

https://www.astron.nl/starlink-satellites/

It's going to be "hilarious" when Starlink messes up the radio sky so badly that radio astronomers can't even use quasars to calibrate GPS anymore. There are so many consequences from all these stupid, cheaply built, disposable satellites. https://www.universetoday.com/105160/navigating-the-cosmos-by-quasar/

Second-Generation Starlink Satellites Leak 30 Times More Radio Interference, Threatening Astronomical Observations | ASTRON

Observations with the LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) radio telescope last year showed that first generation Starlink satellites emit unintended radio waves that can hinder astronomical observations.

@Natanox It's still grub on Fedora. There's the GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG option in /etc/default/grub, but also a command `grub2-switch-to-blscfg` to switch to it. Probably the kernel packages install the entry files.
@Natanox At least on Fedora you have files for every entry in /boot/loader/entries following the Boot Loader Spec. I really appreciated when they switched to this. It's much nicer to work with. https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/

@tagesschau Müsste es nicht "Zuvor hätten palästinensische Extremisten eine Baustelle für ein humanitäres Projekt beschossen." heißen? Oder habt ihr die Angaben der israelischen Regierung anderweitig überprüfen können?
