Let's play a game.

Don't say PowerPoint presentation, say slidedeck

Don't say Word, say text document

Don't say Photoshop, say image editing

Don't say Excel, say spreadsheet

Don't say...

Language is important. When corporate companies own the names of the tasks or the digital items you create, you have become a cog in their branding machine.

Il sito Doge.gov è stato hackerato (era un castello di carte neanche su server del governo)

@informatica

Il sito doge.gov, lanciato con la pretesa di monitorare i tagli di Elon Musk al governo federale per garantire trasparenza, si è rivelato essere un'accozzaglia di vulnerabilità di sicurezza. Due poveri ingenui hanno scoperto che chiunque può mettere le mani nel database del sito, tanto che un programmatore ha aggiunto voci sarcastiche che appaiono sul sito.

Partito come una pagina vuota, il sito è stato ampliato per includere post dal profilo DOGE su X e statistiche sul personale federale, ma sembra essere un progetto amatoriale su Cloudflare Pages, lontanissimo dai server governativi.

Insomma, il tanto decantato Dipartimento di Efficienza Governativa di Musk è un disastro: il database è alla mercé di chiunque abbia due dita di cervello e una connessione internet.

I complain a lot about Inkscape vs. Adobe Illustrator when it comes to print design. Do you want to do something about it? Do you want us to have nice free software tools for print?



Well Martin Owens doctormo@floss.social is making things better, he's the one working on CMYK and revamped PDF export for Inkscape. It seems like a massive endeavour, and it looks very promising!

This would open up Inkscape to a whole new sector. Inkscape is pretty good for digital work, but it lacks crucial features for print. CMYK would be a massive step in the right direction.



You can support his work on Liberapay and Patreon. Personally, I would do so, if I had an income

Un lungo panegirico per dire che le banche contano di risparmiare soldi licenziando i dipendenti; le carte di credito verosimilmente costeranno — sempre alle banche — meno, i bancomat raccoglieranno i nostri dati e cercheranno di venderci paccottiglia, magari sfruttando questi ultimi; infine forse useremo una tecnologia di autenticazione che contraddice ogni elementare principio di sicurezza.

Ciao!

I'm pretty sure Mastodon is the first social network I've been on that didn't immediately ask me to betray all of the people in my address book.
