Lol google wants to kill cookies and ad companies are butthurt they cant track people as well
“So if you watch an ad on Youtube, click through on your phone, and then buy that holiday later on your desktop, at the moment it’s actually quite tricky for us to know that that [ad] has had any impact, or have data which suggests that’s had an impact, whereas with browser-based tracking you can at least do that.”
Its always something with them.
Oh, Electron doesnt really work yet.
Oh, the IMEs dont really work and non-latin support sucks.
Oh, the kernel cant actually handle audio recording too well.
I wish BSDs were in a shape to be used normally on desktop...

“A female colleague and [I] had dared to discuss wage transparency and gender pay gap in the office … Unfortunately we miscalculated – our boss Matthias was beyond furious. After that office meeting, he told my colleague ‘there will be consequences.’ … I want to expose the hypocrisy and double standards in FSFE leadership. How the organisation ‘promoting’ transparency, equality and inclusivity treats employees and more specifically women.”

Reminder that the Internet Archive still needs a lot of donatioms, and has a 2-to-1 donation drive going on. Covid has really messed with them and it seems like theyre being forced to throttle bandwidth. Dont let it die.
