Mark Carney essentially said that the liberal rules based world order was a convenient lie everyone went along with because American hegemony opened up markets and sea lanes for them.

Two things that make it ridiculous:
- never heard of the fediverse?
- they want to card people. This is probably the biggest red flag.

OK, TIL (Today I Learned):
If "apt install" tells you "after this installation, XX GB additional disk space will be used" – that means that YOU SHOULD LOOK if that's available. Because, APT DOES NOT – it simply … well, stops working when the disk is full 🤦♂️
Have fun then cleaning up. Glad I ran a Timeshift backup immediately before…
(EDIT: it was `apt` in my case, not `apt-get`. But such a thing simply should not happen at all.)

Wer wollte nicht schon immer mal bis zu 10 Lieblingssongs auf einmal hören? Ich hätte dafür jetzt das richtige Tool, auch wenn der eigentliche Zweck ein völlig anderer ist. 😄

Translation for Americans: a member of the Irish parliament (the Dail) who happens to be a barrister (an attorney specialising in advocacy in front of a judge, including criminal prosecution/defense) has formally written to the head of the Irish cybercrime unit setting out applicable charges against X/Grok and sternly requesting formal prosecution of that company on child pornography/trafficking charges.
If anyone wants more confirmation other than PasteBin, here's the Irish Independent's article on this, from yesterday.

over 300,000 users are now securely communicating in Iran thanks to DeltaChat, while Briar and Bitchat users are holding their phones in the air trying to attract predator drones
security experts: "
but what if the NSA attacks them and they don't have the little bit of extra security Signal offers?"
RT: techhub.social/users/abbas_dp/…
To this day, while internet restrictions persist, Delta Chat has become the communication platform for a significant portion of users. There are no precise statistics available on the number of servers or users, but based on my own involvement in setting up servers and collaborating with other installers, and by averaging the user counts per server, I can estimate that over (250 Delta Chat host servers) with more than (300,000 users) are active in Iran and I know the actual numbers are far higher.This report does not mention by name all the individuals and supporting organizations involved, but I sincerely thank every member of this collective effort. This event stands as a symbol of the power of free software and community solidarity in preserving decentralized communications in Iran.
به امید آیندهای بهتر برای ایران عزیز🖤
با تشکر از همهی افرادی که در این جریان کمک کردن🙏
