Linux Plumbers Conference

The Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) is a developer conference for the open source community. The LPC brings together the top developers working on the plumbing of Linux - kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing systems, etc. - and gives them three days to work together on core design problems. The conference is divided into several working sessions focusing on different plumbing topics, as well as a general paper track.

Apparently, Ahnold is bulking up to play Conan the Cimmerian in a sequel. 78 years old. Impressive but also.. why?

Arnold Schwarzenegger, 78, undergoing brutal gym prep for 'Conan the Barbarian' sequel

At 78, legendary actor Arnold Schwarzenegger certainly isn’t slowing down — instead heading back to the gym to reclaim his role in the “Conan the Barbarian” sequel.

Holy crap - I did not know about this attack vector.

I would like to see mitigation steps for this kind of thing.

The thread provides an interesting window into how the Russians are representing their actions. Link Excellent thread from the Center for Naval Analysis’s Director for Russian Studies on what he thinks is going on with the disjointedness and ineffectiveness of Russia’s campaign so far and where he thinks may go in the days to come.

This is exactly how things should be. 3rd party developers developing "value add" applications. Expecting #gnome developers to carry it all as a singular experience is not scalable.

This is the kind of things community should produce.

Kind and cherished FOSS and computing freedom advocate @sleepyowl (Joyce Ng) has gone missing and there is reason to fear she may have been apprehended by authorities, possibly likely even for being framed. Nobody has been able to reach her and many of us are worried for her safety.

Joyce does work on verifiable open source hardware. She also has been an activist pushing against the rise of far-right Christian nationalism globally but especially in Singapore. Because of this and her identity, she has people who would like to see bad things happen to her.

Probably for this reason, she may have been misidentified by Five Eyes as being a threat actor. Joyce wrote about this concern in November, posting a threatening screenshot where she was tipped off. https://bitowl.online/about

Please spread this wide. Hopefully this is a false alarm but Joyce is a kind-hearted person who fights for human rights and computing freedom; many of us are worried for her safety.
