Mageia 6.1 is out!
โThis release brings all of the updates and development that has gone into Mageia 6 together into fresh installation media, giving users a kernel that supports hardware released after Mageia 6. The new installations will benefit from the countless updates that current fully updated Mageia systems will have, allowing new installations to avoid the need for a large update post install. So if you are currently running an up to date Mageia 6 system, there is no need to reinstall Mageia 6.1 as you will already be running the same packages.
This release is available with only Live media, i.e. Live Plasma, Live GNOME and Live Xfce in 64bits, and Live Xfce in 32 bits. A network installation is also available, for users wanting more granular control over the installation.โ

Is there an RPi spin yet? ๐พ

Not yet, but I imagine it's in their future (probably for post-v7), since they are putting a lot of work into ARM-based builds.

See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:ARM_Port if you're interested in status/plans/etc. =)
Also, there's some support (without a proper installer) already on Mageia 6: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_6_Release_Notes#ARM_support

National Library of Finland
The National Library of Finland (in Helsinki) is unusually fancy for being in Finland. I had a meeting there today, and looked around a bit while I was there :-)

Quite impressive!
Well central and southern Europe is practically littered with "fancy buildings", but we don't have many of them in Finland as we're a pretty young nation, and used to be quite poor back when fancy buildings were generally built :-)
Auralquiz 1.0.0 released
The big 1.0!! ...is basically 0.9.0 with minor updates and some completed translations :p
It's also the last version to support Qt 4. Next releases will support Qt 5 only.

Auralquiz is a simple music quiz game.

I should add... Mageia has my three main public FS programs in their repos! That, by itself, is a reason why Mageia ROX, mwahaha ;)

And in toronto we have rain. Should freeze tonight, though, and folks will be skating to work tomorrow.
Now we have proper winter temperatures as well, -18C, "feels like" temperature apparently -29C, although IMHO I didn't feel that cold :-)

I keep thinking he won't be elected and there's still so much time for him to fall behind in the races. And yet here we are, just over 24 hours left and he could STILL win. Fml. It's honestly so scary. There just isn't another word for it. He's grossly unfit and downright dangerous. :/
I seriously doubt this is an extreme of the spectrum of weirdness for Mr. Trump. We've not nearly found that yet.
Jan, I didn't vote for Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton. I'm not going to stay up late to watch results tomorrow. Monster movies are far, far more appropriate.

Seeking Collaborators for We Distribute
When I started @We Distribute , I did so in the hopes of covering all of the exciting development going on in the federated / distributed communication space. I somewhat envisioned the channel to serve as a topical analogue to the likes of OMG! Ubuntu or WebUpd8.
Coverage has always been somewhat spotty, due to my own personal time constraints, as well as the fact that I am sometimes behind on covering announcements from various projects. While I hope to once again get back in the saddle soon, I'd like to take the opportunity to reach out to my contacts within the space.
In #Hubzilla, it is possible for multiple people to administrate a channel. This includes collaboration on the integrated wiki (found here, in its sparse form) as well as post creation and scheduling. From there, We Distribute federates to Diaspora and Friendica, and cross-posts to Pump.io, Libertree, and GNU Social.
In short, I am looking for volunteers who would like to write updates for their projects of interest (#Diaspora, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Pump, #Libertree, or anything else), and help coordinate on putting together regular updates for the rest of the federated web to read. We Distribute is something of a meta-syndication, in the fact that it is leveraging the federated web to report on the state of the federated web.

Many people looked at me like I was crazy when I said I'd be without a smart phone for a while. A friend even kindly offered to loan me one for the period :-)
So far, a few observations:
-
I have to plan some things a bit more. I can no longer check the bus route while walking to the bus stop, or check a store's opening times while traveling.
-
I noticed that I often used to pull out my phone at the slightest hint of boredom. Now I'm forced to let my mind wander instead, or e.g. observe life around me. Not that bad actually.
-
One thing that I observed is that on many bus rides, 95% of the people are staring at their phones, only occasionally looking up. Observing this gives me an eerie feeling, like everyone are zombies jacked into the Matrix or something :-)

@sazius@pump.saz.im I've heard the zombie thing before, but keep in mind that previously the zombies would be lost in books or newspapers. There was still a context switch when an outside event happened, such that there would be a slow reaction to it.

@Kevin Everets You're right, I guess it doesn't differ that much from being engulfed in a book, or other reading. On the other hand people do tend to get more addicted to smart phones. In particular the feeling that you have be up-to-date on everything happening instantly.

@sazius I think you're right... though people used to read as much during extended break times it was rare to do it every time there was a 10 second break. That then leads to checking messages frequently, and then the expectation that everyone checks and responds to messages frequently.
That slippery slope is something that I've been caught on so I've become known as "bad at responding" due to being one of the few in my social circle that make a conscious choice to leave phones away from me and message during designated times.
@Kevin Everets I have also become conscious of this, and tried to manage expectations on message response times. In particular for email.
One example is when I worked as a teaching assistant for many years. If I replied very quickly to students' emails their threshold to ask questions got too low, and I got bombarded with questions that they could have figured out themselves if they had just tried. Instead, if they know they'll probably have to wait at least one working day for the answer, they will first try to solve the problem themselves before asking.
