🤔 FORTRAN and COBOL Re-enter TIOBE Index

"So we have two legacy languages in the TIOBE Top 20 for rather different reasons - COBOL skills are still needed to sustain vital legacy (or should that be out-dated) systems. Fortran, on the other hand, has a role to play at the cutting edge of scientific research and can be expected to have an expanding role in its "Modern" incarnation."

Hyperincarceration

"First Nations people in Australia are the most imprisoned people in the world."

"Hyperincarceration of First Peoples is a common feature of former British settler colonies such as Canada, the United States and New Zealand. This shared experience shows us First Peoples are not the problem. We should instead be paying attention to the colonial motivation for incarcerating First Peoples."

"Preparing for the Unthinkable: A Brief Guide to Digital Legacy Planning"

This is valuable, and a relatively easy read. In a nutshell, make sure you've got a plan for someone to get into ALL your accounts if you die suddenly.

Nice job laying this out by @adamengst

A few dollars, even that little if that's all that you can, will be greatly appreciated and goes to a tangible cause with a finite timeline. I cannot speak to what will happen to the original archival material following digitizing, but paper does have an expiration date, so the sooner anyone is able to step up with anything the sooner Jason can get back to the business of preservation.

Links are in the article linked below.

A reminder for developers: Version 5.8.0 comes with a translation updater script in util/mod_translation_updater.py. I recommend to use this tool to manage translations now.

If you use Minetest 5.8.0 and the unofficial Minetest Translation Tools (mtt_update.py), please switch to the native translation updater of Minetest.

I was hoping to make my third Legacy an electric one, but has been dragging its heels in the space (and, no, I wasn't not interested in their rebadged Toyota EV because, comparably, its blown out of the water by the competition).

Now it sounds like even their 2025 models will be ICE or hybrid at best. We've owned 4 subarus, but they lost me to during the EV transition. Cmon guys bust out with the amazing and EVs

Estoy muy contenta porque hoy he descubierto que alguien mantiene actualizada en Github una versión de que funciona en ordenadores antiguos y esto me ha permitido abrir en mi MacBook Pro del 2008 (15 añitos ya de ordenador y aquí sigue, como un campeón).

Necesitaba Slack porque lo usa un cliente y aunque tengo un ordenador algo más nuevo (de 2014) que sí lo soporta, no quería cambiar de equipo.
