We're being told that the way to build trust with the community for broadband projects is to speak to the Rotary Club.

It is not! The way you build trust is you *install some damn broadband*. People shouldn't have to take it on faith that the project is going to work out. They should see that their friends and neighbors are getting gigabit fiber on schedule, for a fair price, without a lot of hassle.

libxslt project maintainer steps down, citing the amount of time it takes to triage embargoed security issues. “I’ve been doing this long enough to know that most of the secrecy around security issues is just theater. All the ‘best practices’ like OpenSSF Scorecards are just an attempt by big tech companies to guilt trip OSS maintainers and make them work for free.” https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/913

I asked ChatGPT what the distances from London to Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo were and then to draw a map to show the distances. What a wonderful time to be alive. #gischat

Another reasons to tut at the Mercator Map projection - how a circle with a radius of 5,000km, centred on Paris, looks according the Mercator map

@migurski the design language of the time. When all the PCs were dull and uninspiring, this was pleasant to look at.
