In the many discussions about #threads promise to add #activitypub support, regulations such as the #DMA and the #DSA, as well as the Canadian Online News Act have come up.
In this piece I dive deep into the specific articles of the Acts to see if they might impact Meta's decision making.

It'd be a bit more believable if it was actually in the same key as Folsom Prison Blues. So I'm skeptical that that's actually an AI trained on Johnny Cash's voice.
@matt I mean, that's fair. I'm not sure which is more believable though... That a random YouTuber would be able to impersonate so many different singers (there's an Elvis one for example) or that the vocals were AI generated. Or maybe impersonator are a dime a dozen and they just hire it out?

If you have experience maintaining a GitLab CI runner on macOS, and you wish to contribute to building and testing GLib and GTK on macOS, please join the GNOME Infrastructure channel to help maintaining the macOS server provided by the GNOME Foundation, otherwise we will have to retire it. More details on Discourse: discourse.gnome.org/t/potentia…
The GNOME Foundation has been sponsoring a hosted macOS CI runner for a few years, but the admins are now planning to retire it for a couple of reasons: the hardware is getting long in the tooth (it’s still an x86_64 machine) it’s a shared bare met…
@zygoon You can use Discourse, or join the channels on Matrix; the main issue is having people that understand macOS enough to be able to set up a shared CI runner and, more importantly, keeping it running…

Die Verlängerung der Stadtautobahn sei Irrsinn, eine City-Maut wäre Unsinn: Ein Gespräch mit dem österreichischen Mobilitätsexperten Hermann Knoflacher über den Berliner Verkehr.
Commenting on #Ukraine membership in #NATO, #Putin said “Ukraine has right to ensure its security, but not by creating threats to #Russia”[^1], a statement which on its face value sounds absurd, granted that it’s Russia that in the first place materialised the largest threat in the last half century for Ukraine and Europe.
But behind that statement there’s a certain logic of Russian elites, and since this postulate was and will be picked up by the Putinverstehers of the world, I think it requires a clarification.
Russians wholeheartedly believe they have a moral right to Ukraine and Eastern Europe. This “right” is not based on, or directly contravenes all kind of international agreements and obligations signed by Russia but it doesn’t matter, because Russia treats all laws in the same way as explained by Simonyan in the context of Wagner mutiny - they are “made for humans” and can be applied selectively, as necessary.[^2]
Because of the above, they also believe they have a moral right to intervene, either covertly, as they did all the time before 2014, or directly, using military force, as they did starting from 2014. These interventions form the core of “security of Russian interests” frequently mentioned by Putin and others.
This vague “moral right” to interventions of their liking was precisely what drove not only annexation of Crimea and war in Donbas, but also numerous GRU assassinations in Europe, explosions in Vrbětice etc. And, to be honest, lukewarm reaction of the international community was perceived by them as a kind of approving nod.
Now, once we established how these interventions in “their zone of influence” (once again, having no legal base) are considered as their sacred right, any defensive actions or countermeasures undertaken by the target countries are naturally described by Russia as “violation of their security”.
This is exactly how air defense “Patriot” batteries located in #Poland were described by Russians as “threat to their security”, and this is exactly how Ukrainian static lines of fortifications in Donbas were also described as “offensive”. Of course, you can’t invade another country with static trenches 20 km from their border, but dialectically these fortifications reduced options for Russian invasion, thus limiting their “sacred right” to invade. 🤷♂️
This kind of dialectics has a long tradition in Russia: during and after WW2, Soviets many times labelled as “Nazis” anyone who fought against Soviet influences even if they also fought against German invasion. Which led to absurd arguments, where people like Poland’s Witold Pilecki, who tirelessly fought against Nazis from 1939, when USSR was German ally, was at the end of the war sentenced to death as “Nazi collaborator” because he also opposed Soviet occupation.[^3]
According to the Russian president, the draft agreement between Moscow and Kiev, which was put together in Istanbul, stipulated detailed guarantees of Ukraine's security
Rounding strikes again! It is great that Vattenfall shows you price with 6 decimal digits precision. But since they do rounding on various places during the calculation, those numbers are completely useless anyway.

Когда-нибудь в России закончатся трансгендеры, геи, лесбиянки и аниме. Перестанут заводить и ненавидеть собак опасных пород и кошек пород обыкновенных. Иноагенты будут переписаны, осуждены и изгнаны, про армию, религию и другие общественные институты и соцгруппы останется лишь молчание. Закончатся электрические самокаты и педальные велосипеды, незаблокированные порносайты и немаркированные книги. Враждебные страны будут отгорожены, изолированы и забыты.
В залах СовФеда, Госдумы и других повиснет абсолютная звенящая тишина, собравшиеся там странные существа, потомственные представители касты запретов, горящими глазами уставятся на ритуальные кнопки негромко шипя, ведь шум в залах заседаний был тоже давно запрещён. Останется лишь один, последний запрет.

Out of all the companies currently offering private email alternatives to Big Tech, ProtonMail, Tutanota and ZohoMail stand out from the crowd. Let's take a look at what each of them does! tutanota.com/blog/best-private…
nice article. I had a paid tuta account but switched back tot non-paid. I liked Tutanota a lot but had one major concern: quite some times my mail was rejected because it came from Tutanota. And one minor: I need to be able to share my contacts with other apps.
@Krit Thanks for your feedback. We're planning to add a new domain just reserved for paying users - this will fix the mentioned issue! A better contacts integration is also planned.
@humblenano The reasoning is that if you get both from the same, the email provider will still be able to see your real IP address - which the VPN should stop.
This should really be named "Why we think Tutanota is your best option" rather than an obviously biased "best private email service". Come on Tutanota, you are better than that!
You might've forgot, Tutanota Con: No OpenPGP support. So if you want to send someone an encrypted email, you somehow have to also send them a password to open said email.
‼️ Milá komunito nejenom Mastodon Arch Linux CZ! Je to zatím testovací provoz, možná se aplikace LimeSurvey bude hodit i do budoucna. Zde je první #anketa_mastodon ankety.arch-linux.cz/index.php…
Kolega z práce donesl pípu, která určitě zažila spoustu beček, a dlouho nebyla v provozu. Provedli jsme s nostalgií v srdci pořádnou rekonstrukci v včetně všech gumiček. Dokonce sehnal starou bečku a nechal si jí v pivovaru naplnit. O víkendu proběhne test.
mi jsme braly do pytlů od brambor suchý led, který vznikal při výrobě CO2 u nás v Lihovaru. K pípě stačila pumpa z auta, a už to jelo. Žádná WiFi, žádná elektřina.
