Did you ever wonder why Asian women aren't mentioned by the left when it lectures us about race and gender pay gaps?
Because Asian women are the stone that kills both of those pay gap narratives.

You can visit https://status.conversations.im/ for a simple up/down check or follow this thread for the occasional status update / progress report.

Semi FOSS BIOS "Coreboot" has been updated to version 24.05. This update adds support for twenty five new motherboards, fixes for clang support, added support for EL2/EL3 onm ARM64, and more. The code to Coreboot is licensed using GPLv2.0. The reason I call it semi FOSS is that it does have to include varying levels of closed source blobs to make many models work. Having some FOSS in Coreboot beats having a fully closed source BIOS though and it is a good step for users to take to get more privacy and security for their devices.
The project's main website is here:
https://www.coreboot.org/
The code is hosted on Github:
https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot

For *non-technical people* trying to de-Google, what are some good Google product alternatives that you don't have to self-host?
I'll start with Ente, which is a pretty good replacement for Google Photos, and Fastmail, which is a good replacement for Gmail and Calendar.

Is anyone using cockpit-certificates and interested in taking over its development and maintenance?
It currently works; we've kept it on life support with CI, dependabot, and such, but it hasn't seen any real development in a long time.
If you are interested, please let us know on the issue and/or on Matrix @ https://matrix.to/#/#cockpit:fedoraproject.org
We are happy to provide guidance and help with PR reviews and such.
If nobody is interested, we'll archive the repository in two weeks.
