"Väčšina sudcov podľa Šamka nechápe, ako ich kolegovia môžu prerušovať trestné stíhania, keď Ústavný súd vo februári pozastavil spornú novelu Trestného zákona ešte skôr, než nadobudla účinnosť, čiže nižšie tresty ani len na sekundu neboli účinné. A ak ich Ústavný súd vyhodnotí ako protiústavné, ani sa nestanú súčasťou právneho systému.

Napriek tomu už stíhaní z tejto novely profitujú."

Mozilla's Original Sin.

Some will tell you that Mozilla's worst decision was to accept funding from Google, and that may have been the first domino, but I hold that implementing DRM is what doomed them, as it led to their culture of capitulation. It demonstrated that their decisions were the decisions of a *company shipping products*, not those of a non-profit devoted to preserving the open web.

Those are different things and are very much in conflict. [...]

Mozilla was never not shipping DRM.

THe choice they had was integrating with Silverlight / Flash like they used to do, driving all the non-ideology-driven streaming users to other browsers, or just caving in and implementing DRM.

At least the DRM we have now is as open as DRM can be, you can still e.g. control the player from user extensions, block ads, automatically skip intros, stop on subtitles, play more than one stream at once etc. With other technologies, the player was a proprietary blob you could do nothing with.

If You Tag, I Will Read – The Idea Place In my experience, a fundamental disconnect exists between accessibility and the investing world when it comes to a statement that is blasted all over every investment web site when you are about to invest. You will read the statement that you should carefully read the prospectus before making any investment. Good luck with that as in my experience these documents are rarely, if ever, properly tagged for accessibility. - theideaplace.net/if-you-tag-i-…

So, something I heard recently on my local NPR station on borrowing ebooks vs. hardcover from your local library:
Apparently, the library pays ~$15 for a hardcover book, but ~$150 for the ebook - and the ebook is a LIMITED LICENSE for, say, 52 loans of that book. After which they have to pay ANOTHER $150 for the book, AGAIN.

The takeaway here: If you can get the hardcopy from the library instead of borrowing an ebook, please do so. The impact on their budget will be SIGNIFICANT.

Here's a related, but older, reference:
npr.org/2022/08/18/1118289764/…

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I complained that a very large #python contribution to #inkscape was poorly formatted and I felt embarrassed about pushing back and asking them to run a linter over it?

Yeah I'm not fucking embarrassed now, I'm furious. 🤬

Update: Apparently they meant a small section of it was, not the whole MR. I'm annoyed, but I'll have to take them at their word.

WTF? Threads is blocking links to the official website of France’s left coalition (Nouveau Front Populaire) in the upcoming snap legislative elections, nouveaufrontpopulaire.fr

EDIT: 16 hours later, Meta has silently lifted the ban on all its platforms → nileane.fr/@nileane/1126655912…


[Update] It seems Meta just lifted the ban on “nouveaufrontpopulaire.fr” on its platforms.

My Threads post from last week has also silently been restored. (I didn't get any updates on my appeal) threads.net/@nileanedorffer/po…

Whatever hiccup in Meta's automated moderation mess that was, the fact that this happened in the middle of an election campaign and didn't prompt any kind of response from Meta is all sorts of messed up.

The worst kind of tech hype is when something is portrayed as inevitable and unstoppable, with criticism or doubt blithely dismissed as "they don't get it".

Just because a giant tech company pours vast amounts of money down a toilet, that doesn't mean the toilet is going to start spewing gold coins into the air.

Tip of the day: Annotations are text documents in #DEVONthink that are attached to another document, for example a #PDF. They are a simple but powerful tool for making notes about a document and can therefore be used for everything from research to schoolwork to journaling and more. Here’s an introduction, or a refresher. #notetaking #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow devontechnologies.com/blog/202…

It's not a competition between nuclear and solar, but whenever you hear people say China adds x amounts of GW in solar, consider this:

In 2023, 57 GW of installed nuclear power produced 47% more electricity in China 🇨🇳 than 609 GW of installed solar modules.

This is the harsh reality of intermittent renewable energy. For comparison: a 1.2 GW class nuclear power plant generates the same amount of electricity as 15.8 GW of installed PV.
