A colleague and I were bouncing an idea of having an internal company online #radio station that anyone can volunteer to DJ at any time or as people are showing up for company meetings (All-Hands, AMAs).
Everything I’ve seen out there is for public radio stations, and nothing FOSS. Was wondering if anyone on #mastodon has done or seen anything like this?

Hey, remember when we learned that a right-wing terrorist network extensively planned a violent coup to overthrow the German government and constitution and establish a reactionary, ethnic nationalist, authoritarian monarchy with them as its leaders, and this network included members of the German judiciary, the police, one of its major political parties, the army, and many members of the bourgeois (and formerly royal) societal elite? That was earlier this week.

Spent the night setting up ssh the way that I wanted on my raspberry pi. I'm sure others could have done it faster but I am learning a lot about sshd, ssh and also I set up ufw without locking myself up :)

Computer science pioneer and United States Navy rear admiral Grace Hopper was born #OTD in 1906.
As far as I’m aware, she is the only person who has both a supercomputer and a US Navy destroyer named after her.

@is_googling I love Power Automate! It gives me a lot of functionality if you sit outside IT without IT worrying I'm going to break everything!

I was using ubuntu as early as this summer and I had not seen this, but apparently it's something everyone knows about. I love that Linux can perform really well AND be slightly non-serious.
When I googled this terminal text and browsed reddit I also learned about `apt moo` :)
@gamingonlinux I guess the definition of Linux is just "strange commands I don't understand." I can get behind that.

House passed it. Republicans blocking it in Senate and Manchin, Sinema stopping Dems from ending filibuster to pass anything.

9 December 1915 | A Polish Jew, Szymon (Simon) Frydman, was born in Radom.
In Auschwitz from 24 October 1941.
No. 21989
He perished in the camp on 21 November 1941.
Learn about the process of turning Auschwitz into a center of extermination of Jews in gas chambers, as well as the situation of Jewish prisoners in the camp: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/29_zydzi_en/

Raspberry Pi, hiring of ex-surveillance policeman
@derickflorian I think there is a difference between a retired cop who goes into something like ministry (as a former colleague did) where there is no connection to enforcement actions, and something like this situation where the cop is transferring survalence know how to the private market.
Raspberry Pi, hiring of ex-surveillance policeman
@antares I agree, a chaplain would hopefully not follow under ACAB, but I don’t know.
I see why people are upset, especially because as someone else mentioned RPi’s post was glorifying surveillance. But I think he should be rehabilitated. I don’t see how him being homeless or working at an overtly evil company would improve the system of policing. That said, if he did anything bad he should be held accountable, like stalking someone outside of his job duties. But then I also believe other criminals should be allowed to be productive members of society. In that case too I see parallels that if you bar someone from making a living then crime could seem like the only option.
I think the system is the bigger problem. I live in the US and the police state will continue to thrive because democrats and republicans love to give police more and more budget.
I think it’s fine if people want to stop buying raspberry pis - their choice. I also see how insensitive the foundation has been around the issue I just don’t see how letting this man transition into a job that benefits society is bad.

@derickflorian @whalecoiner @lizupton Thing is, there's a big difference between (a) hiring a former surveillance cop and (b) hiring a former surveillance cop and making an excited post about how your new hire was a surveillance cop and isn't that cool
@cjwatson @whalecoiner @lizupton That’s true. I agree with that. They are glorifying something that is extremely wrong. I wasn’t thinking of that.
@whalecoiner @lizupton yes, I was just noting that seems to be the issue that most people raised from what I saw.

Okay, I really wanted this to die, but @lizupton - comms officer of Raspberry Pi Ltd - is now claiming that the entire #raspberrypi social media drama was actually because her company posted a picture of pigs-in-blankets, and not because they hired an ex-surveillance cop and then acted like dickheads when asked about it. 😱
