DINUM is a proud sponsor of the 2025 conference, which will take place in Brest in July.

Not only because Debian is a GNU/Linux distribution that many French administrations use, not only because many civil servants contribute to it, and not only because the Debian project is such an amazing social achievement: it's also because we still have so much to learn from it!

📅 Btw, the CFP is still open: https://debconf25.debconf.org/cfp/

AI shit, YT Link, fandom link, proprietary game
Was listening to https://youtu.be/j7SHwDfNrE0 samsa's her, and the whole AI talk got me imagining LLMs as a dead internet tree of knowledge with corpses which are an attempt to create artificial humans.

the tree specifically I think got to my brain from darkwood https://darkwood.fandom.com/wiki/Talking_Tree

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).

So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

A screenshot of FontForge opening a PDF brochure from the "Piracy is a Crime" campaign, showing that it is using the font XBAND Rough, an unlicensed clone of the font FF Confidential.

How fucking petty must you be to deny funding to any university with any kind of DEI policy? Trump is trash and so is anyone who shows any support for him.

I dont particularly take a specific route everyday, but yesterday when travelling to a less served area, I met someone at a bus stop, getting anxious I abandoned waiting and started walking towards the next few stops, finding a bus 20 minutes later which I desperately waived to stop, I found the person at the bus stop to be on the bus (duh) and then we both lit up for whatever reason, that was nice :)

@mondstern I mean if you wish to volunteer your time, the debian publicity team could always use translations if you are interested in doing them! Most of it is news about the debian project and some original work, but the more languages everything is available in is the better! https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity this has some related information!
