  • Woman fired by Wikipedia parent after harassment speaks out

    The woman, Kayla Mae (who also uses the name Kayla Morgan), said she still believes that the Wikimedia Foundation is “doing good, crucial even, things for the world,” but that the organization lacks clear direction and policies to deal with harassment and that her story is one of many quietly told by current and former workers who have faced similar abuse over the years. Mae was hired by the Wikimedia Foundation in November 2022 to work as a software engineer in a remote role. She was based in Texas; her direct supervisor, Dennis Mbuguru (who also goes by the name Dennis Muthuri), was based in Kenya. From the moment she was hired, Mae — a transgender woman who is neurodivergent — claims she faced abuse and harassment by Mbuguru, to the point that she filed complaints with Wikimedia Foundation’s human resources department.

  • A limited-time flavor: Blue Raspberry Pi | Jeff Geerling

    This blue version is one of 1000 blue Pis that were made to celebrate Raspberry Pi's first anniversary, 12 years ago. What's crazy is this original Pi (well technically the 2nd revision of the original Pi...)? It's still supported. Apple usually stops supporting their Macs after 5-7 years. And Microsoft, well, it's complicated, but generally you're gonna get 8 to 10 years, if you're lucky and picked the right hardware. But my goal today is to learn a little more about this blue Pi, and see if I can boot it up with modern Linux, and maybe actually do something useful with a 12 year old computer.
