Il est important de ne pas utiliser le terme "prédateur" pour désigner un violeur ou un agresseur sexuel en série.
Un prédateur dans le règne animal à besoin de tuer une proie pour vivre.
Un agresseur n'a jamais besoin d'agresser ou de violer pour vivre.

Hey, #Canada. The US is sending its homeland state police, ICE, to the Olympics in Milan. Do they expect to send ICE to the #FIFA #WorldCup matches in #Vancouver? Let’s get out ahead of this now.

Councillors Sean Orr and Pete Fry have a motion before council on Feb 25. Proposition: ban ICE from #Vancouver during the FIFA World Cup here. If you are in Vancouver, please support the motion.

19년째를 맞은 차별금지법 발의에 부쳐 [프리스타일]

"2016년 일본은 재특회의 혐한 시위에 대응해 ‘헤이트 스피치 해소법’을 제정했다. 처벌 규정이 없어서 실효적이지 않다는 비판이 있지만, 혐오에 대응하라는 전 국민적 요구에 정치권이 내놓은 답변이라는 점에서 복기할 만하다. 당시 법 제정에 관여했던 일본 시민사회 모임 ‘카운터스’는 “많은 사람들이 고통받고 있다면 우산을 씌워서 보호해야 한다”라고 말했다."

If the day ever comes that general-purpose computing devices can no longer run unsigned/unapproved code, we will suddenly appreciate that for over fifty years, people could write and run code for free-as-in-speech as well as free-as-in-beer. Microcomputers were both kinds of revolution in computing freedom.
My younger friends:
Do not take the right to compute for granted. it is at least as important as the right to freedom-as-in-speech.
The 2026 FreeBSD Developer Summit will take place alongside BSDCan on June 17–18, 2026, and we're now accepting proposals.
Suggested topics include networking performance, laptop support, ports and packaging infrastructure, CI and testing, power management, and development tools.
📅 Proposal deadline: March 25, 2026
📧 Submit proposals or questions: devsummit@FreeBSD.org
We look forward to receiving proposals and to another productive Developer Summit at BSDCan.
A lot of messaging systems try to reinvent the email system but many (signal, matrix, xmpp) took over one key traditional design which we actually dropped while retaining SMTP/IMAP compatibility: server-controlled identities.
With #chatmail user identities are cryptographic and reside on end user devices only. Servers are only message relays and have no control over identities or chats, only perform fast message routing. See this fosdem talk by one of our lead developers https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/fosdem/2026/ud2218a/3F9VTU-deltachat-chatmail-relays-multi-transport.av1.webm
Someone at #FOSDEM reached out to me about a organization that takes care of the logistics of hosting conferences? I.e. venue, ticketing and catering. And it was free for open source projects.
I remember Munich, London and Paris(?) as possible locations?
Sounded great. Forgot their name. Does anyone know?
Boost appreciated!
[단독] 한강버스 '결빙 안전관리계획 문서', 한강 결빙 이후 8일 지나 만들었다

"보다 심각한 문제는 '결빙 안전관리계획'이 지난 1월 20일에 문건으로 만들어졌다는 점이다. 한강 얼음에 대한 한강버스 안정성 문제를 제기하는 언론 보도(녹색경제신문)가 1월 10일에 있었고, 결빙에 따른 한강버스 결항이 1월 12일에 이뤄진 점을 감안하면 한강에 얼음이 얼고 난 뒤에야 결빙 안전관리계획을 공식 수립한 셈이다."

I'm thrilled to announce I just released Command Book App: A native macOS app for developers, data scientists, AI enthusiasts and more. https://commandbookapp.com
This is a tool I've been using lately to help build Talk Python, Talk Python Training, and many more applications.
It's a bit like advanced terminal commands or complex shell aliases, but hosted outside of your terminal. This leaves the terminal there for interactive commands, exploration, short actions. (1/2)
Command Book manages commands like "tail this log while I'm developing the app", "Run the dev web server with true auto-reload", and even "Run MongoDB in Docker with exactly the settings I need"
I'd love it if you gave it a look, shared it with your team, and send me feedback (either as a comment here or via the email us in the nav bar).
Check it out at https://commandbookapp.com (2/2)

And, 35 years later, developers who actively *want* their UIs to look like this when system default colors are *perfectly legible and (broadly) well designed* consume a non-trivial amount of BeeWare/Toga’s support load.

The fun news here in MSP is that ICE seems to have ramped up targeting of mobile home parks in the suburbs. So that’s nice.
Just in case you all wondered how the de-escalation is going.
The Computer History Museum has a presentation tonight on the history of computer dating: "Algorithms of Love". I made a special punch card for the event. It wasn't easy to make this card so I'll explain how I did it...
