In 5 countries (Austria, Germany, Norway, Denmark, France) Schengen is effectively dead since 9 years in a row. These countries have filed (overlapping) exceptions with various reasons, meaning that they had continuous border controls on internal borders. Something that according to the Schengen Agreement should be a very rare exception in very exceptional times.

@Natanox @librecast @EU_Commission We're continuing to work on both research and practical deployments for multicast, funded by @nlnet and @NGIZero
We need to make some more noise about the work we're doing and make it easier for others to get involved. Was just discussing this with @onepict this morning 😉
> the last few EU wide multicast deployments mostly used for weather data are slowly beeing torn down
Where did you hear this?
EUMetSat is very much committed to multicast for delivering weather data. I was discussing it only yesterday with the Chair of the MBONED working group.
The CTO of EUMetSat said in June this year that to use unicast CDNs would cost "an order of magnitude" more.
Multicast is very much alive and well, and deployments increasing as data flows increase.
Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:
Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.
Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.
The things I learn, even at my age, simply by reading documentation are WILD!

Der Rückzug von Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf ist ein Armutszeugnis für die Bundesregierung. Selbst im eigenen Laden bekommt die Koalition keine Mehrheiten organisiert. Wir fordern bei künftigen Richterwahlen ein eigenes Vorschlagsrecht. Dann klappt’s auch mit der Wahl!
People justify continuing to use #GitHub in all sorts of ways.
"OK, they're owned by Microsoft who has spent decades trying to crush FOSS, but..."
"Yes, they steal code to feed their planet-destroying LLMs, but..."
"Sure, they help ICE enforce fascist policy, but..."
"Yes, they're supporting genocide, but..."
There's no "but" clause that justifies supporting all of that.
Values, require sacrifices. This is the price we pay for the world we want.
Don't collaborate. #Resist #GiveUpGitHub
the fucking "starter pack" thing is such a bad idea
we don't need to reinvent social hierarchy, thanks. like... ugh

this game that has no nudity, no portrayed sexual acts and no pornography whatsoever, but covers topics of misogyny & sexual abuse—just got banned from steam for "sexual content with depictions of real people," so the developers released it for free. https://dreadxp.com/vile-is-banned/
