Il est important de lutter pour que tous les enfants puissent accéder à l’école, sans discrimination ni blocage administratif. Le droit à l'éducation doit être reconnu et garanti pour chacun-e, conformément à la Convention internationale des droits de l'enfant !

25 anni fa nasceva #Wikipedia, l’#enciclopedia online libera e collaborativa grazie ai contenuti di volontari da tutto il mondo.
In un contributo per #LCdM, Mirko Tavosanis esplora il linguaggio delle voci di Wikipedia in italiano, una risorsa chiave per scuola e università, collegandolo alla tradizione della semplificazione #linguistica e alla #didattica della scrittura.

DigiD MAG NIET IN AMERIKAANSE HANDEN VALLEN
De Amerikaanse techgigant Kyndryl wil de Nederlandse IT-dienstverlener Solvinity overnemen. Dat roept fundamentele vragen op over onze digitale autonomie. Solvinity beheert immers de infrastructuur achter #DigiD, het systeem waarmee burgers zich digitaal bij allerlei Nederlandse overheidsinstanties, waaronder de Belastingdienst en ook verzekeraars en zorg- en dienstverleners kunnen identificeren. DigiD is wettelijk aangemerkt als een dienst die van vitaal belang is voor onze samenleving.
Kyndryl heeft zich bij het Bureau Toetsing Investering (BTI) van het ministerie van EZK gemeld en BTI moet nu toetsen of die overname door de beugel kan. De vraag is of deze toetsing überhaupt plaatsvindt, maar daarover doet BTI geen mededelingen. Over de inhoud van een eventueel genomen toetsingsbesluit kunnen burgers niets te weten komen.
Daarom heeft een coalitie van experts en belangenbehartigers, te weten @marleenstikker Stikker, wim voermans, Esther van Egerschot, Maxim Februari, Joris Luyendijk, Felienne Hermans, Sander Schimmelpenninck, @bert_hubert, Karin Spaink, Kees Verhoeven, Jelle Postma, Caroline Nevejan, Reijer Passchier, ikzelf, stichting Privacy First en de stichting #Firewall, op maandag 12 januari een brandbrief naar BTI gestuurd. Daarin dringen wij met spoed aan op informatie over het toetsingsproces, zodat wij als belanghebbende burgers bij dat proces betrokken kunnen worden.
calling my 90s people: this pic looks to me like a specific album cover, maybe?--but which one?
(also timeline cleanse)
@inquiline Definitely a few on this list (though nothing jumping out at me from the 90s, a few from 2005-2010 look pretty similar though) https://rateyourmusic.com/list/dms_aardvark/album_covers_featuring_trees/
"#ICE does not move like the gestapo, they move like slave patrols."

I can't unsee this now. I can't unsee slaver behavior in #ICE tactics. It makes way more sense, the Gestapo were copying *them*.
Douglas Adams once said something, answering a question from a fan about whether Arthur Dent was a “hero”, and whether the Hitchhiker stories were “gaily whimsical” or cynical. The whole thing won't fit here (see: https://shreevatsa.net/post/douglas-adams-cultural-divide/) but quoting the main part:
> I suspect there is a cultural divide at work here. In England our heroes tend to be characters who either have, or come to realise that they have, no control over their lives whatsoever – Pilgrim, Gulliver, Hamlet, Paul Pennyfeather (from Decline and Fall), Tony Last (from A Handful of Dust). We celebrate our defeats and our withdrawals – the Battle of Hastings, Dunkirk, almost any given test match. There was a wonderful book published, oh, about twenty years ago I think, by Stephen Pile called the Book of Heroic Failures. It was staggeringly huge bestseller in England and sank with heroic lack of trace in the U.S. Stephen explained this to me by saying that you cannot make jokes about failure in the States. It’s like cancer, it just isn’t funny at any level. In England, though, for some reason it’s the thing we love most. So Arthur may not seem like much of a hero to Americans – he doesn’t have any stock options, he doesn’t have anything to exchange high fives about round the water-cooler. But to the English, he is a hero. Terrible things happen to him, he complains about it a bit quite articulately, so we can really feel it along with him - then calms down and has a cup of tea. My kind of guy!

> I’ve hit a certain amount of difficulty over the years in explaining this in Hollywood. I’m often asked ‘Yes, but what are his goals?’ to which I can only respond, well, I think he’d just like all this to stop, really. It’s been a hard sell.
Video: Governor Walz Addresses Ongoing Federal Presence in Minnesota | 5:55
This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.
Instead of conducting an impartial investigation... the Trump administration is devoting the full power of the federal government to finding an excuse to attack the victim and her family.
Hooray for Santa Cruz #California. More communities can live without #surveillance.

I say "Spout2 on Linux" because that's easy to understand, but it doesn't really work like that!
This is native Linux frame sharing using PipeWire, plus a Spout2 to PipeWire bridge that is essentially a Wine/Proton plugin. Spout2 exists only in the "Windows world".
On this day in 2001 Wikipedia was first edited. That was 25 years ago. A cause for celebration.
Have you made an edit to Wikipedia? If not, today would be a good day to do so.
Several of you have asked for something you can do to help Minneapolis. I have something concrete:
Here is a fundraiser for families at Seward Montessori, a Minneapolis public elementary school. Many families in the neighborhood are sheltering at home, and unable to work and/or get groceries. Parents at the school have organized this fundraiser to help out.
I know the graphic is a bit generic and doesn’t say much, but don’t worry: I can vouch for this fundraiser. It’s vetted, and it’s needed.
Oh, the sickening irony...
Report: The UK has forced itself to grant asylum to a Palestinian citizen of Israel who is facing Israeli persecution for calling Israel an "apartheid regime".
He is the first Palestinian w/ an Israeli passport to gain UK asylum.
"Confirmation of his refugee status followed a legal battle in which the UK Home Office attempted to block the claim."

In 2009, Microsoft made it a focus of the Windows 7 user experience guidelines to reduce pointless notifications. They point out notifications like the classic “There are unused icons on your desktop” as being in the Windows 😜 Hall of Shame™. Seriously, it’s in there: https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/uxguide/mess-notif
In 2026, Windows interrupts you to ask if you want to clean up printers you haven’t used in a while. The intent is unclear (which printers?), there are too many choices, and it stays visible until you click an option.
For a good while, Microsoft were limping their way to good UX, and this doc was finally a clear set of guidelines. Now, it feels like they’ve slipped back into the Windows 😜 Hall of Shame™ era, and any good UX they happen to come up with is an accident.

I was laid off because our federal contract was suddenly cancelled.
Please help if you can.
