Do you have a project in mind for an open textbook or other open educational resources? The Rebus Community is inviting new projects for its beta rollout of its new platform for project organization, recruiting of collaborators, and more. Particularly looking for projects from outside of N. America and that include marginalized voices. I have a project w/Rebus and they're great!

See here for more info and how to apply: https://about.rebus.community/2018/04/rebus-community-projects-beta-invitation/

Why are these good news? Well, a known vulnerability is a good vulnerability as soon as it's fixed :) And they are fixed.

PS: Flatpak fix is already landed and will be build and distributed soon.

Rémi & I are reading on our rooftop and all of a sudden we heard this crow sqwaking. We look over and it's DIVE BOMBING a red tailed hawk & yelling.

The crow leaves and then after 10mins we hear the yelling again.

THE CROW GOT A FRIEND and now there are 2 crows yelling at this hawk.

meanwhile, the hawk is unbothered as f*ck

Does anyone here recall URL schemata of when Youtube was embedded via Flash?

I'm facing URLs like http://www.youtube.com/p/F4B63F92D2DC4E98
with a "p" in there, which was maybe referring to a playlist?

Neither Chrome nor Firefox rewrite this to a contemporary HTML5 embed, as they would for other Youtube Flash embeds.

Any idea what this was?
