Flyer for the End Of 10 campaign. The background colors are a mix of blue and purple, with blobs of green on the edges. Tux, the penguin mascot of Linux, is visible in the lower right corner. Top left: End Of 10 logo of four boxes falling over. Under a QR code is the website URL https://endof10.org. Top right: The title "End Of 10: FOSS Instead Of Toss". The text on the flyer reads: """ Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you make your existing one fast and secure again? If you bought your computer after 2010, there's likely no reason to throw it out. By installing an up-to-date Linux operating system, you can keep using it for years to come! Installing an operating system may sound hard, but you don't have to do it alone. There may be some people in your area who have volunteers to help! Scan the QR code or visit the URL above to find someone to help upgrade your system to Linux. Five Reasons To Upgrade To Linux: 1. No New Hardware or License Costs 2. Enhanced Privacy 3. Good for the Planet 4. Community and Pro Support 5. Better User Control """

#Vancouver people, pls check out this great event my org is putting on on Aug 3rd. "A multi-lingual performance from Zoë Aqua, Yonatan Kunda, and Dan Kunda Thagard exploring the traditional themes of destruction and rebuilding, cruelty and compassion, despair and hope."

I don't know Yonatan, but Zoë and Dan are longtime friends from the #klezmer scene who have never performed in Vancouver before AFAIK. Same day as Powell St fest but it's timed so both are doable.

For all Trump likes to talk about “America First” crypto, his businesses are looking very UAE-first. Trump’s World Liberty Financial has just secured a $100 million investment from the UAE-based Aqua 1 Foundation, which has leapfrogged Justin Sun in Trump’s pay-for-access leaderboard.

Trump business interests Aqua 1 Foundation, a United Arab Emirates-based crypto fund, has spent $100 million to acquire WLFI tokens, the token issued by the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial Project, and cultivate a close relationship with the Trumps. They have just surpassed shady crypto billionaire Justin Sun and his $75 million investment to become the single largest holder of WLFI tokens.1 World Liberty also profited massively last month from a deal in which Emirati investment firm MGX used the company’s USD1 stablecoin to perform a $2 billion investment into Binance [I83]. In a press release, Aqua 1 claimed that they and World Liberty would work closely to “jointly identify and nurture high-potential blockchain projects”, and said that World Liberty “plans to support the launch of Aqua 1’s Aqua Fund — a UAE-domiciled investment fund ... dedicated to accelerating the Middle East’s digital economy transformation”.2 For all Trump likes to talk about “America First” crypto projects, his businesses are looking very UAE-first. World Liberty also just announced a partnership with London-based Re7 Capital, a decentralized hedge fund backed by the Hong Kong multi-family office VMS Group. The partnership aims to increase USD1 uptake on BNB Chain, the blockchain run by Binance.3 Connections between Binance and Trump have already been controversial, with Democratic Senators Warren, Durbin, and Blumenthal writing a May letter requesting information on Trump’s connections to
