Boston Police doing their @BostonBikeBlockers + #CarsInCrosswalks combo.

Switzerland passes law requiring #OpenSource software in the public sector. "All public bodies must disclose the source code of software developed by or for them, unless precluded by third-party rights or security concerns" Well done @maemst, great work!

@pid_eins and myself are hosting a MC track at #linuxplumbers and the CfP closes next week. The best time to submit a talk was last month, the next best time is now!

"Kernel <-> Userspace/Init/System Management boundaries and APIs MC" - the focus is on topics related to the APIs and interfaces sitting at the boundary between the kernel and init systems/system management layers, with a special attention directed towards current pain points and omissions.

@keithp @jack @stephanetavera @blaine ya, it's not really a folding bike. More of a small quick-disassembling bike. Certainly not the sort of thing for a quick fold to take on a bus/subway

@jack @blaine @stephanetavera ya, I'm super pumped -- I got it from a friend who was too small for mine and I haven't really gotten a chance to use it yet, but hopefully it'll work out for the next round of conferences in a few months

@palmer @blaine @stephanetavera These look great 😊

@BostonBikeBlockers @babikeblockers ya, sounds about the same then ;)

these aren't "odd" laws, they're crucial ones for pedestrian safety. and Waymo regularly fails to follow them. this type of reporting seriously misses the mark, it's basically free advertising at this point

@blaine @jack @stephanetavera that's how I ended up with one of the Bike Friday quick-disassemble luggage/trailer bikes ;)

@BostonBikeBlockers I couldn't find anything, so on a whim I made @babikeblockers this morning. I wasn't quite sure how to start it, but then on the way home I ended up running into one -- it's some work truck, but there's pretty much always someone parked blocking the bike lane there when I go by...

NEW EPISODE:

"Killed by a Traffic Engineer"

In his new book, Wes Marshall argues that his fellow traffic engineers need to do some deep soul searching about the rules they follow so that they no longer design a system that kills tens of thousands of people per year.

In the span of two weeks, box truck drivers making right turns across separated bike lanes in #CambridgeMA have killed two people. Safety advocates will host a vigil on the steps of City Hall this afternoon to demand safer streets:

@ashleygjovik our office is right down the street, there's a bunch of super weird stuff around there

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, in 2023, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into the apartment windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off the US EPA, who sent their env cops to raid Apple's plant in Aug of 2023. The US EPA finally released the report of their enforcement inspections & sent me a copy on Friday. 💀 ⬇️

@BostonBikeBlockers ya, I do. Pretty sure I'm solely responsible for the hot zone up here ;)

It has been three years, as I am trying to communicate this message to people:

----------------
#RHEL 8.5 is a branch.

#AlmaLinux 8.5 (and #CentOS 8.5, Rocky 8.5, Oracle 8.5...) is a tag.
----------------

I am glad Alma wrote it explicitly on https://wiki.almalinux.org/release-notes/ that "Release of new 8.x version ends support for the previous version."

I am sad that people don't read and internalize it.
