Fixes for this vulnerability should already be available everywhere since today.

Forgot your root password? No problem! With #PackageKit <= 1.3.4 you can get all the fun root action on any Linux system you have local access to, no privileges required!

Don't like that? Then PLEASE UPDATE your system ASAP to PackageKit >= 1.3.5 or any fixed distro package. 1/2

FFv1 v4 will add support for IEEE-754 single- and half-precision RGB/RGBA/Grayscale floating point pixel formats.
The work designing and implementing that was funded by the Sovereign Tech Fund.
Support will be available in FFmpeg 8.0 with -strict experimental.

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

@spectatorindex Oh dear, Plagiarism-Bot has been plagiarized. Who ever could have seen this coming

@FrancoisGervai2 @NatureComms Ah, sorry, now I understand! There is no heatmap module per default, as we haven't had an application for it - yet ;-). Line plots are possible though: https://t.co/VbMSvjka3Q
And you can plot anything via pyqtgraph from the embedded Python support too! https://t.co/Ymcv4Zf96V

I am excited to announce our publication of "Syntalos" in @NatureComms: A software to easily and reliably record from multi-modal data sources and design closed-loop interventions, with a focus on (neuro)scientific experiments, all while keeping timestamps synchronized! 🧵1/9

@FrancoisGervai2 @NatureComms The visualization is a heatmap, you can plot it very easily in Python or MATLAB. It depicts the accuracy of a support vector machine classifier for how well we can predict animal behavior from recorded neuron spiking. LIBSVM was used for the classifier: https://t.co/yYytejICnv

The code of Syntalos is licensed under the LGPL-3.0+ license (libraries), and GPL-3.0+ (main application) you can find it on GitHub: https://t.co/wK3mbilMYg

We are excited for your feedback and the cool research people will realize with the software! 9/9

I also want to thank the great projects we depend on, like @kdecommunity, @FFmpeg, Eclipse #Iceoryx, OpenCV, @micropython and so many more! Kudos to hardware vendors with open libraries for their devices, and especially efforts like @MiniscopeTeam and @OpenEphys! You rock! 8/9

I hope reviewer 3 appreciates that I am coming into lab at 3:30am today to get a critical revision experiment time point 😴

German govt collapse explained🇩🇪

FDP: *enter govt with SPD/greens*

FDP: *sabotage any meaningful economic reforms*

FDP: *poll below threshold*

FDP: I DEMAND PUBLIC SPENDING CUTS, TAX CUTS AND STOP ON CLIMATE POLICIES

SPD/Greens: no

FDP: SNAP ELECTIONS?

Scholz: you're fired

On the bright side, we now have an answer to the Fermi Paradox

Oh no...
