Discord just announced a change to their Terms of Service, which restarts the clock on when you can opt out of binding arbitration. All you gotta do is read the "Opt-out" paragraph of Section 16 & send an email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com from the email address you use to log in which states something as simple as this:
I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord.
Boosts pls.
PostgreSQL maintainer Simon Riggs has died in a small airplane crash, on Tuesday.
For those who didn't know Simon, he's responsible for PostgreSQL Binary Replication and many big data features. He and I worked together at Greenplum 2006-2008. Postgres would not be the world-leading DB it is today if it weren't for him.

You may have seen the “Verified” badge on apps from Flathub which shows that the developer has proven ownership of their app, e.g. via their website or code host.
With great adoption (nearly 1,000 verified apps!), we’re trying something out to help with transparency:
⚠️ Unverified
If you see this, it flags that the app has not been verified by its developer—it’s effectively a community-maintained package.
This is the classic scam. Privatise an essential service. Load it with masses of debt, while investing the minimum it can get away with. Pay shareholders as much as it can get away with. When it collapses, walk away so the state has to pick up the pieces until it becomes viable again. Rinse and repeat.

Nevratné poškození. Albatros nevydá knihu zpochybňující transgenderovou identitu - Novinky novinky.cz/clanek/kultura-knih…
Čtvrtého dubna měla podle edičního plánu vyjít v Albatros Media kniha Nevratné poškození s podtitulem Jak naše dcery propadají transgenderové mánii. Napsala ji americká publicistka Abigail Shrierová. Na český trh se ale nedostane.Lenka Hloušková (Novinky)
Nepovažuju to za cenzuru názoru - prostě se soukromej vydavatel rozhodl po diskuzi s odborníky nevydat. V důsledku by to #Albatros jako firmu mohlo poškodit tržně (a vlastně úplně stejně je může poškodit to nevydání :) ).
To je jako kdyby je někdo nutil vydat nějakou ódu na holokaust protože je svoboda názoru - i vydavatel může mít názor
Poradit se s aktivistama - pokud to vydavatel chce - považuju za naprosto v pořádku.
To, že si vydavatel (nebo jeho poradci) myslí, že je něco sračka z toho nedělá cenzuru. Takový rozhodnutí se dějou denně a nikoho to netankuje :)
No a teď si představ, že si v půlce procesu uvědomil, že se je to jinak a nevydal to :)
Asi se tu shodneme, že co udělá vydavatel se svýma prachama je tak trochu na něm, žejo? Cenzura by byla, kdyby přišel stát a řekl "tohle nesmí ven" byť by pro to nebyl zákonnej důvod

Huh. Apparently Google’s getting rid of its manual sitemap-ping endpoint, to nobody’s surprise. These things always inevitably become spam sinks. Google’s automatic crawlers have already been smart enough to know what to crawl more frequently, and its support for the open WebSub standard still exists to facilitate manual pinging for updates.
Unauthenticated sitemap pings always seemed a bit ridiculous to me.

As of yesterday, I am officially maintaining the XDG Specifications (yes, yes, I make questionable choices ^^).
This means, if there's anything I should have a look at, or if you want to propose any addition/change, you know who to ping now! (even better if a MR/patch is attached, of course)

Slightly amused the ICJ in its recent order regarding the Gaza war explicitly pointed out that its order is legally binding, as if reminding certain member states of the basics of international public law. Specifically, on para 48:
48. The Court recalls that its orders on provisional measures under Article 41 of the Statute have binding effect and thus create international legal obligations for any party to whom the provisional measures are addressed (Allegations of Genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Ukraine v. Russian Federation), Provisional Measures,Order of 16 March 2022, I.C.J. Reports 2022 (I), p. 230, para. 84).
The order unanimously obliges Israel to allow aid in coordination with the UN through land crossings. This finding was unanimous, even voted for by the Israeli ad hoc judge. icj-cij.org/sites/default/file…

"With no changes to how the industry operates and no watchdogs to check the abuse and greed that have defined it over its now-15 years of existence, we are doomed to see history repeat itself. More Bankman-Frieds will emerge to take his place, drawn by the promise of easy money and the low likelihood of consequences."
