> Michigan Judge Tosses Out Cases Against Fake Trump Electors

> The judge, a Democrat, concluded that fake electors recruited to support Donald J. Trump’s candidacy in 2020 did not understand that they were being asked to do something illegal.

okay but if this is the standard we're going to set I hope we can stick to it for all crimes where someone didn't know they were being asked to do something illegal

Judge: Anthropic’s $1.5B settlement is being shoved “down the throat of authors”
Feeling “misled,” judge refuses to rubber-stamp Anthropic's proposed settlement.

Getting excited. I just started a new repository on Github, a brand new project that I hope I'll get to show you soon. The initial target is Windows. I will eventually make it for Windows and Mac. I currently don't have a Mac so testing opportunities are limited. I prefer to test as I go.

Obviously, whatever I develop will be fully accessible.

Allright! I'll tell ya. It's going to be a fully-functional masto/bluesky/RSS client.

I said this when I first started getting into electronics and I’ll say it again:

software libraries need something akin to Datasheets. A technical document which lists facts about the operating parameters and intended uses, meant for a technically-minded person to evaluate “is this suitable for my use case?” and “what all would be involved in integrating this into my product?”

in my experience too much of this material for software reads like marketing fluff, making empty promises about ease or scale or whatever without any context under which those promises apply

we talk about software “engineering” and this sort of technical document strikes me as fundamental to that practice

You're supposed to get your kids engaged with others through trips, activities and outings.

I've rarely seen it done very successfully, if I'm honest.
As a teacher those who'd been homecshooled were very obvious when they came into my classroom.
My daughter has a couple of online friends who are homeschooled and socially, they are very different to the rest.

I'm sure it can work well in the right circumstances, but it's a bit like mainstream education for the blind. if one of the little things isn't quite in place properly the problems scale up quickly.

Soevereine cloud? Of vegan kipfilet?

Aanstaande donderdag bespreek ik op CyberSecNL de soevereine clouds van Microsoft, Google en Amazon.

Ik sprak met een aantal van hen over hun diensten en stelde hen allen drie dezelfde vragen. Hun antwoorden zullen je wellicht verbazen.

Israel is a terrorist state.

A terrorist state that is committing genocide.

Anyone who does not understand this at this point does not want to understand it on purpose and is a genocide denier. (And thus complicit in genocide as genocide denial is the last and final stage of genocide.)

#Hamas isn't committing #genocide.

#Israel is.

#Hamas isn't bombing and killing innocent civilians in Qatar, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and elsewhere.

Israel is.

Hamas isn't ethnically cleansing the Israeli people.

Israel is.

Hamas isn't starving the Israeli people and creating a famine.

Israel is.

Hamas isn't committing crimes against humanity.

Israel is.

Hamas isn't committing crimes against humanity?! For reeeeal? October the 7th is one of the most hideous crimes seen in the whole history. Terror attacks on civilians, killing, raping, stealing people, devastating peaceful kibutzim (villages) in Israel — that's not a crime for you? Then I don't know what is. #Israel

@gme I don't know what this word means (catastrophe, I guess, or something in the lines), but the state of Israel was officially recognized by UN and the whole world. Most attacks on Israel throughout all these years targeted especially civilians, and this particular conflict started from October the 7th, when 1200 people were killed with absolutely no reason.

You should learn your history.

Palestinian land was given to Zionists by the UK in 1947.

Land the UK didn't own and had no right to give away.

Why didn't the UK give the Zionists the Isle of Man or the Isle of Wight? Or land in Wales or Scotland?

Oh yeah, because the people there would have been pissed.

How would you feel if the US came in and gave your town away and kicked you, your family, your friends, and everyone else that lived there out so Israelis could live there?

in reply to George E. 🇺🇸♥🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@gme Even though I wouldn't come (after 80 years) and kill, rape and take people hostages, it's absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. If they reckon such a huge injustice was committed, they must go civilized and diplomatic ways. And by "they" I mean official people in power elect by democratic elections, and not a terrorist organization like hamas.
in reply to George E. 🇺🇸♥🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@gme Ooh, and you say hamas isn't ethnically cleansing Israeli people. But it is, or rather, it would if it had enough power. The disgusting "From the river…" slogan means just it: killing all Jews between Jordan and the sea. #Israel

Backup password. Security passphrase. Recovery key.

Having two passwords can be confusing enough. But calling the same thing differently across apps? That's chaos.

@andybalaam will walk us through why you need 2 passwords in Matrix, and how we can do better with non-technical terms and metaphors.
