I am my own legal department: the promise and peril of “just go independent”

#Gruzie 🇬🇪🙏🏻💚
zažila volby a opozice ma koaliční většinu. Gruzínský sen společnými silami poražen a s ním končí éra 12 let pro-ruské vlády.
EDIT:
Oficiálně je sečteno 99.646%
Vítězí stávající autoritářská vláda 54%
Exit poolls ve vládě jednoho prostě nefungují 😔
Gruzie čekají těžké časy od odstraňování opozice až po opětovné zavedení vízové povinnosti do EU a USA.
Držím palce, snad se podvody podaří prokázat 💪🏻✊🏻🤞🏻
PS Omlouvám se těm co jsem mistifikoval exit poollem.

So in A Herbivorous Dragon of 5000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized season 2, the Crunchy English subs make it seem like King Vanessa being a girl is a reveal in ep4, because in ep2, she's referred to as "he".
This is odd since nobody acts like it's a reveal, & her name is "Vanessa". So I looked further b/c Chinese has no spoken gendered pronoun (there is "he" & "she" in text but in speech, it's the same word). The Bilibili Chinese subs say "she" (她), so do their English subs. It's only Crunchy that made the assumption the King is a boy.
I suspect the CR translator was working from just the raw, & without text they had to make an assumption, & they heard "king" & saw somebody who could be a feminine boy & assumed male.

On Linux MAINTAINERS file removal of Russian developers
I sincerely regret to see Linux kernel patches like this one removing Russian developers from the MAINTAINERS file. To me, it is a sign or maybe even a symbol of how far the Linux kernel developer coLaForge's home page

Yes that’s entirely fair, it would not have taken much to state:
“We are removing these names from the maintainers list because of US sanctions enforcement. No, this is not optional, at a penalty of personal criminal liability but I Linus Torvalds would not challenge this removal even if I could”
(Which was i think the gist of the statements that came out later)
“Simply do not break a glass, and it will last a thousand years. Smash it, and it will not last an instant. Democracy is like that: fragile, but only if you shatter it.”
“Trust is like that, too, as newspapers know.”
It has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to endorse Harris for president

Matt Mullenweg is making an absolutely spurious legal claim to silence his critics. Because of the fair report privilege, "platforming the claims in the lawsuits" is on rock solid ground. If anyone knows the person behind bullenweg, there are plenty of lawyers who would delight in telling Matt to go piss up a rope. mastodon.social/@mvsde/1133736…

Wie gesagt, ich muss mich mal in den Code reinlesen, was da wie implementiert ist. Irgendwo muss die Suche ja programmiert sein, läuft dann vermutlich via php? Könnte man auf der Ebene ggf. auch optimieren, dauert nur länger, bin ich nicht so der Pro drin.
Aber das können wir ja irgendwann mal in Ruhe besprechen, wenn es dir passt. War ja nicht der Sinn der Sache, dass du jetzt mehr Arbeit damit hast, v.a. wenn du eigentlich gar nicht die Zeit dafür hast.
@r_shivran Mobil im Reader wird das OPDS Interface benutzt, da werden die Daten als strukturiertes XML geliefert. Die Darstellung wird dabei vom jeweiligen eBook Reader bzw. der jeweiligen App übernommen. Da sollte das eigentlich kein Problem sein.

Delta sues CrowdStrike over software update that prompted mass flight disruptions
People often think about the DMCA as the law that was created in the wake of Napster to address online sharing of music & movies without compensating copyright holders.
A less discussed part of the law is that it banned repairing electronics without permission from the manufacturer as long as they use DRM to prevent it which practically everyone from Apple to John Deere does.
Every 3 years we get to request exceptions. This time we got this exemption.

'It is fine not to like a piece of Free software' and other oft-unstated FOSS-related freedoms
“Free software”, according to the FSF’s definition, embodies four freedoms.There are plenty more than that - or, at least, many freedoms which are inherent in, or arise from, those four freedoms - most of which go unstated most of the time.
This is far from a complete list, but rather my jottings based on ponderings and observations from the last few days, across a couple of different (intentionally unstated / unlinked here) things.

in reply to Ami Angelwings • • •the reason we suspect it's a translator error and not Crunchy using AI translation or something is because in episode 4, a character definitively genders Vanessa, calling her "my sister". That's the first time it's made directly clear. (The character referred to an off screen sister in previous episodes but not that that was Vanessa). And then the Crunchy subs start referring to her using female pronouns. So that's likely when the translator realized the gender of the character.
Crunchy notoriously overworks and underpays their translators so it's likely they don't have time to think too much about these things because of how fast they're pushed to translate stuff, and they're doing it as they get the episodes.

in reply to Ami Angelwings • • •incidentally I really hate how online western anime fandom treats Chinese anime/donghua. There's like constant hate on subsplease and other places on animation that has Chinese audio, and they complain about it being a "dub" even though that's the original language, and then they say they'll wait for the "real Japanese" even tho the JAPANESE IS THE DUB. There's also all the weebs who complain that Chinese sounds worse & is less "real" sounding than the Japanese dialogue and like, most of you can speak NEITHER LANGUAGE, shut the f- up.
And of course Wikipedia often only lists the Japanese VAs for a lot of Chinese anime, and it's so hard to find what the OP of a show is b/c all sites in search results list the Japanese OPs as the only OPs for the show -_-
