#Germany introduces a new system for accessing medical data online.
The implementation by my insurer: Android, iOS, Windows, #Snap Store. Sadly, it's not open.

Sensitive data + closed software on user devices = #security nightmare.

(I'm mercifully ignoring the inevitable leak of the central database.)

When will governments and banks learn? There's no security without source code. There's no stability without interoperability.

I am excited and relieved to finally announce the release of Magit version 4.0. emacsair.me/2024/08/09/magit-4

I am happy to announce the release of Forge v0.4.0 and v0.4.1.

These two releases are a big step forward, improving, among other things, topic filtering and editing of topic details.

If you previously hesitated to give Forge a try, or got stuck during initial setup, then now is a good time to jump in (again). Or if you have already been using Forge before, you might find that after these releases, you will have to fall back to the web interfaces less and less frequently. That was certainly been the case for myself.

The Ring-tailed lemur

The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a medium- to larger-sized strepsirrhine (wet-nosed) primate and the most internationally recognized lemur species, owing to its long, black-and-white, ringed tail. It belongs to Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the Lemur genus.

Like all lemurs, it is endemic to the island of Madagascar, where it is endangered. Known locally in Malagasy as maky, spelled maki in French) or hira, it ranges from gallery forests to spiny scrub in the southern regions of the island. It is omnivorous, as well as the most adapted to living terrestrially of the extant lemurs.
