The past few Ubuntu release announcements have made it seem like the developers are not enthusiastic about their distributions and are in a holding pattern. The community spins in particular mostly read like "We had to put up an announcement, the kernel has been updated." There doesn't seem to be much innovation happening.
(The exception seems to be Ubuntu Studio. They still convey excitement and a sense of adding something new to the ecosystem.)

Nice. Sen #SheldonWhitehouse just mentioned that #KilmarAbregoGarcia has an excellent #BivensAction complaint against #Trump et al.
#DeepCut but exactly on the nose.
A Bivens action generally refers to a lawsuit for #damages when a federal officer who is acting in the color of federal authority allegedly violates the US #Constitution by federal officers acting.

The video features a person dressed in medieval-style armor, standing behind a stone wall. The individual is wearing a white helmet and dark gloves, with a patterned tunic visible beneath the armor. The setting appears to be outdoors, with a cloudy sky in the background, suggesting a cold or overcast day. The person is seen performing a series of movements, raising their arms above their head and then lowering them to adjust their helmet. The stone wall is made of large, rough-hewn blocks, and the person is positioned centrally, with the wall flanked by two larger stone structures on either side. The video captures the person's actions from a low angle, emphasizing the height of the wall and the person's position behind it. The sequence of frames shows the person in various stages of adjusting their helmet, with the final frames showing them resting their hands on the wall, looking forward.

This is hilarious. Twitter appears to be DDOSing itself.Something's wrong with Twitter so feeds aren't loading. Nothing loads, but my Twitter feed is still trying to load, but it doesn't stop trying after so many attempts.
Notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. I haven't done anything more than attempt to view my home feed. Now notice the bouncing scrollbar.
I'm gonna guess there was an bug introduced that was resulting in an endless loop of trying to fetch results, but with no results available, Twitter would have basically been DDOSing itself.

The image features a horizontal tricolor flag with three distinct bands of color. The top band is a soft yellow, the middle band is a light blue, and the bottom band is a pale pink. The colors are evenly distributed across the flag, with each band occupying an equal portion of the flag's height. The edges of the flag are slightly rounded, giving it a soft appearance. The background is a plain white, which contrasts with the pastel colors of the flag. There are no additional symbols, text, or patterns present on the flag.

It doesn't need to be big or breaking. Compare, for instance, the Kubuntu release announcements for the past two years against FreeBSD's. The latter is much slower and more conservative, but there is _energy_ there, enthusiasm. People showing off their work
