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.
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!

Storm Dragon pushed changes to the master branch of the linux-game-manager project Instead of Project Brutality only death match, we now have custom death match which lets you select your own game mod to use.
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.
Disney has now agreed that a wrongful death lawsuit should be decided in court following backlash for initially arguing the case belonged in arbitration.

Longer post(s) to come after the morning school rush, but!
The Fediverse governance research @darius and I have been working on this year—with the absolutely central participation of so many wonderful Mastodon and Hometown server teams—is out:
Mily Mastodone, neco nefunguje uplne dobre :) Pred osmi hodinami jsem presunul ucet na k @archos Sledujicich 318. Vsechno ostatni se asi natahlo, ale sledujici nee. Postupny zanik Cynika :)
@Jirka Já jediny co našel je fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma… Tento článek popisuje, že přenos sledujících může trvat několik hodin, dní, nebo v extrémních případech dokonce týdny, v závislosti na tom, jak zaneprázdněný je server sledujících.
@Jirka No jestli nebude jednoduší, na účtu mastodon.social postnout, že už budeš na mamutovo. No a ti co tě sledovali, tě začnou opět sledovat. @cynik_obecny
@Jirka Ja nebyl na mastodon.social - mel jsem svuj secver. A na tom uz nic nepostnu, bo jsem se presunul k tobe. Ale kasli na to. To fakt neni akutni. Jen je to treba varovani pro nekoho, kdo by chtel presouvat, ze to muze zakopnout
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. 😁
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.
LibreOffice is everywhere! And not just on computers – but at events around the world. At the weekend, community members attended FrOSCon in Germany, to answer questions and give out cool merch: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
I found the article a bit short and lacking in detail. It would have been great to have more information about the size of the event, the topics discussed, or even some photos to really convey the atmosphere and involvement of the attendees.

Today is the birthday of #DoctorWho actors Anthony Ainley, Sylvester McCoy, and Sophie Aldred. As it's also *my* birthday, a few years ago, I commissioned this artwork and then mocked up a book cover for a theoretical August 20th adventure!
I don't know Michael personally but on a professional level I'm very familiar with his work and his dedication. This is an excellent choice for a distributor.

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
A spare monitor and keyboard are handy things to have around, but they’re a bit of a hassle. They are useful for hardware development, plugging in to headless servers, or firing up a Raspberr…
I've just launched my new BT Projects blog! Here you will find posts on a wide range of topics, from tech to other miscellaneous things I choose to write about. There is currently only one post up, but one which I have had a lot of requests for, how to make Windows work better post setup. Note however that this post is an initial draft; it could be updated in the future but I felt ready to put what I have out there! Enjoy! btprojects.samtupy.com/blog/ Note also that this is not yet set up on the home page, this will be updated shortly. #blog #tech #writing

"Laut des Berichts hat der Betroffene Strafanzeige gestellt, ist damit aber abgeblitzt – weil es keine reale Person gibt, die als Urheber zu betrachten ist."
Ja toll! Richtig suuuper!
Vielleicht sollte man in solchen Fällen den Geschäftsführer von MS in Deutschland oder den zuständigen Produktmanager heranziehen. Kann ja nicht sein, dass da einfach keiner verantwortlich ist.
Banning it is legislating feelings, instead of facts, being inherently subjective, resulting in censorship & oppression of any political dissent, a recipe for authoritarianism.
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.
