Especially "Like A Woman Can", "Darkness Always Wins" and "Rain Your Blood On Me".
Definitely listening to that on repeat in the coming days.
Hat irgendwer zufällig eine Ausgabe von Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen (Band 1) rumliegen, die er/sie/es nicht mehr braucht und mir schicken könnte? Gerne boosten.
As of a month ago I'm working at the Munich University of Applied Sciences. We have a super cool group https://aemy.cs.hm.edu/ working on open source EDA tools and more.
But there is a problem: we have lots of funding, but no-one to fill the positions 😱 So, if you want to come to Munich to do a PhD working on Open source chip design tooling in an amazing group, hit me up
DM or look at https://aemy.cs.hm.edu/open-positions/ for more info. I think we're also open to other ideas in the area if you have them :)
NixOS, uspol
So we now have DHH, Lunduke, Palmer Luckey (the Anduril guy), and Jon Ringer (Anduril employee and instigator) publicly chatting about taking over the NixOS project: https://xcancel.com/PalmerLuckey/status/1972037286192992320 - with at least one of the NixOS Steering Committee members being on Anduril's payroll. That's several wealthy and influential overt fascists.
I'm not sure how much more clear anyone can make it that NixOS has a fascist problem, that leadership is either failing or refusing to address (and the distinction between the two doesn't really matter anymore by this point).
Think very, very carefully whether this is a project that you want to put your limited time on this Earth into.
You're not going to 'fix' it; many went before you and failed. The broader userbase does not have shared values and continues to staunchly believe in it all somehow magically working out if we just do enough electoral 'democracy' LARPing. The leadership is unwilling to take more radical actions and eject the fascists. There is no path to a solution, no matter how hard you campaign.
Seriously. If you want something like NixOS, put your time into working with people who actually care about opposing fascism. Make a fork, make your own thing, whatever. Anything other than continuing to pour free labour and plausible deniability into the fascists' coffers.

Fedora Flatpak, Israel-related
Fedora Flatpaks is fun!
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2373009#c5
Their Fractal flatpak (and RPM) is broken because they're using the deprecated rubygem-sass compiler. Instead of using the reference implementation, Dart SASS, they instead used grass. Why, you ask? because the Dart SASS website has a 'Free Palestine' bit on it, and they claimed that this is antisemitism (lol)
Unfortunately, the blatant antisemitism throughout the SASS language site does not exactly endear me to the language as a whole, and certainly not their implementation thereof. grass seems to be independent of that, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.https://sass-lang.com/
God forbid caring about people in Gaza I guess? God forbid not wanting the West Bank to be colonized I guess?
