I also nominated @tink for re-election to the Board.

Here's her nomination statement. misc.tetralogical.com/w3/2024-…

I’ve worked alongside Léonie at @w3c for years. She's been instrumental to the success of the current Board. She's calm, methodical, well-informed, and possesses a keen sense of the W3C's mission. I trust her judgment and admire her tenacity.

If you can vote, please help to re-elect Léonie to the Board.

The RNC is intervening on Trump's behalf to fight for the right to continue removing voters from Georgia rolls. The revelation comes in a federal lawsuit alleging Republican violations of the National Voting Rights Act.

The RNC moved to intervene in a federal lawsuit over Georgia county election boards removing voters — many of whom are homeless — from the rolls.

As I think I mentioned before I like listening to traditional music, especially lullabies, from different cultures and in different languages. This album of indigenous lullabies I just found is beautiful!

I wrote about the #Kolibri app for #GNOME that we made at @EndlessOS together with Learning Equality. At this point we have the Endless Key app as well, which is based on the same foundations. (That’s how long it takes me to publish a blog post). I hope it’s interesting for anyone who’s tackling a similar problem of a desktop app duct taped to a big, opinionated, pre-existing backend, or if you’re just curious about some of the choices we made: dylanmc.ca//-/blog/2024/08/20/…

their last retrospective blog post was all about their future direction being full of “AI”

Disney is not admitting that its forced arbitration claim was legally wrong. It's just "decided to waive [its] right to arbitration" in *this particular case*.

It's deliberately not letting that legal argument be tested in a court, which means it can try it again anytime in the future.

Until their "the arbitration clause applies to any and all dealings you have with us" argument is definitively struck down in a court of law, no one is safe.

O2 CZ nabídlo na léto zdarma na zkoušku NEO+ Bronzový s tím, že od září volitelně bude pokračovat za 599 Kč/měsíc. Dnes se zeptali, jestli chci v září pokračovat nebo ne, napsal jsem, že ne.

Obratem mi nabídli za stejnou cenu NEO+ Střibrný - což je předpokládám podle typu kovu hodnotnější tarif.

Poučení: všechny výhodné nabídky zásadně odmítat, přijdou ještě výhodnější. 😁

Chcete alktivovat Neo+ Stříbrný za 599 Kč? Tarif NEO+ Stříbrný obsahuje neomezená data s maximální rychlostí 10 Mb/s a neomezené volání i SMS. Do 1.9.2024 Vám nebudeme účtovat měsíční paušál tarifu, který sjednáváte. Od 2.9. budete pokračovat za sjednanou cenu tarifu. Objednáním tarifu odvoláváte požadavek na zrušení této služby, který jsme od Vás obdrželi v SMS z ăsla této služby v rámci akce Nejlepší 5G sít na zkoušku.

Měl jsem podobný, za stejnou cenu, ještě v rámci O2 Family jako "NEO Modrý". To ale zaniklo, sjednotili to pod O2 a vecpali mi za 699 Kč Zlatý s 20 Mbps (které z BTS tam, kde trávím víkendy, stejně nevymáčknu). Trošku pasivně agresivní přístup, na druhou stranu jsem předtím každý měsíc musel hlídat, abych utratil extra korunu a dosáhnul na tu 300 Kč slevu, o které píše kolega vedle.

I just learnt of the passing of Pierre Cartier last Saturday. I was lucky to attend his George Kempf Lecture at Johns Hopkins a decade ago titled "A quantum group as Galois group for some difference equations". I don't remember much about it which probably means I understood little, but I remember fondly going for dinner later and sitting close to him. He was an entertaining person, treat everyone as his equals (in spite of me being a minion and him being a legend) and told some Bourbaki stories

Hate speech is bad.

Banning it is legislating feelings, instead of facts, being inherently subjective, resulting in censorship & oppression of any political dissent, a recipe for authoritarianism.

See case study:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialis…

The Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Romania from 1965 (during Communism) had this to say: Art.28: The citizens of the Socialist Republic of Romania are guaranteed freedom of speech, of the press, of meetings, of rallies and of demonstrations; Art.29: The freedom of speech, of the press, of meetings, rallies, and demonstrations may not be used for purposes contrary to the socialist order and the interests of those who work; Any fascist or anti-democratic association is forbidden. Participation in such fascist or anti-democratic associations and propaganda is punishable by law.

people don’t realize this might be one of the hardest challenges to overcome in a liberal democracy: having freedom of speech for all and whatever in a society where there are bad and hateful individuals. Laws and courts are a part of it but is not enough.
