Will the Cyber Resilience Act help the European ICT sector compete?

Will the Cyber Resilience Act help the European ICT sector compete?And will it help EU digital sovereignty?
Much has been written about the potentially damaging effects of the draft EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on the open source ecosystem (BitKom, Eclipse Foundation, VDA, OSBA, Linux Foundation – this post is based on a draft of the CRA from September 15, 2022). In this post, we are going to look at the CRA from a different perspective: As a part of the EU cybersecurity strategy, the higher-order goal of the CRA is the further development and strengthening of the integrated EU single market. Since open source software is the foundation of nearly every modern digital product, influencing how the open source ecosystem operates will be felt by the European businesses and citizens. Will the CRA be conducive to EU ICT policy goals?

How to easily switch from Chrome to Firefox

Posted on by Michael G

There’s never been a better time to switch from Chrome to Firefox, if we do say so ourselves.  Some of the internet’s most popular ad blockers, such as uBlock Origin — tools that save our digital sanity from video ads that auto-play, banners that take up half the screen and pop-up windows with infuriatingly tiny […]

unifont @ Savannah: Unifont 15.1.01 Released

Posted on by Michael G

12 September 2023 Unifont 15.1.01 is now available.

This is a major release.  This release no longer builds TrueType fonts by default, as announced over the past year.  They have been replaced with their OpenType equivalents.  TrueType fonts can still be built manually by typing “make truetype” in the font directory.

This release also includes a new Hangul Syllables Johab 6/3/1 encoding proposed by Ho-Seok Ee.  New Hangul supporting software for this encoding allows formation of all double-width Hangul syllables, including those with ancient letters that are outside the Unicode Hangul Syllables range.  Details are in the ChangeLog file.

Download this release from GNU server mirrors at:

     https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/unifont/unifont-15.1.01/

or if that fails,

     https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-15.1.01/

or, as a last resort,

     ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-15.1.01/

These files are also available on the unifoundry.com website:

Microsoft replaces Chat with “Microsoft Teams – Free”

Posted on by Michael G
I know I keep harping on the declining quality and enshittification of Windows, but Microsoft just makes it so easy. In the changelog for the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds is this gem: Beginning to roll out with this build, Chat is now Microsoft Teams – Free. Microsoft Teams – Free is pinned by default to the taskbar and can be unpinned like other apps on the taskbar. So you buy a new Windows machine or reinstall Windows, and the taskbar will have the beautiful and not at all thirsty name “Microsoft Teams – Free”. I know a good ad agency for Microsoft.
