Discord just announced a change to their Terms of Service, which restarts the clock on when you can opt out of binding arbitration. All you gotta do is read the "Opt-out" paragraph of Section 16 & send an email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com from the email address you use to log in which states something as simple as this:

I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord.

Boosts pls.

PostgreSQL maintainer Simon Riggs has died in a small airplane crash, on Tuesday.

For those who didn't know Simon, he's responsible for PostgreSQL Binary Replication and many big data features. He and I worked together at Greenplum 2006-2008. Postgres would not be the world-leading DB it is today if it weren't for him.

#LibreOffice’s #localization community translates the software’s user interface, along with its documentation and websites. We ran a survey to find out what tools the community uses, and how we can improve them: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource

LibreOffice reshared this.

You may have seen the “Verified” badge on apps from Flathub which shows that the developer has proven ownership of their app, e.g. via their website or code host.

With great adoption (nearly 1,000 verified apps!), we’re trying something out to help with transparency:

⚠️ Unverified

If you see this, it flags that the app has not been verified by its developer—it’s effectively a community-maintained package.

This is the classic scam. Privatise an essential service. Load it with masses of debt, while investing the minimum it can get away with. Pay shareholders as much as it can get away with. When it collapses, walk away so the state has to pick up the pieces until it becomes viable again. Rinse and repeat.

Conviene recordar que el valor de muchos teléfonos es superior a los famosos 400€ que hacen que el delito sea más o menos grave. Si además sumamos el daño por la información contenida, creo que hay motivos más que suficientes para aceptar esta modificación. Lo suyo sería derogar ese margen.

"Podporujeme diverzitu a tuto knihu nevydáme." - To je docela legrační vzhledem k původnímu významu slova "diverzita".

Nevratné poškození. Albatros nevydá knihu zpochybňující transgenderovou identitu - Novinky novinky.cz/clanek/kultura-knih…

#czech

in reply to brabitom

Nepovažuju to za cenzuru názoru - prostě se soukromej vydavatel rozhodl po diskuzi s odborníky nevydat. V důsledku by to #Albatros jako firmu mohlo poškodit tržně (a vlastně úplně stejně je může poškodit to nevydání :) ).

To je jako kdyby je někdo nutil vydat nějakou ódu na holokaust protože je svoboda názoru - i vydavatel může mít názor

Palm recognition? Wow, that sounds like an interesting idea... I thought though that palms are not the most reliable as far as patterns go. Has that been improved with the new tech? Quite interesting! dragonscave.space/@Woody/11217…

Huh. Apparently Google’s getting rid of its manual sitemap-ping endpoint, to nobody’s surprise. These things always inevitably become spam sinks. Google’s automatic crawlers have already been smart enough to know what to crawl more frequently, and its support for the open WebSub standard still exists to facilitate manual pinging for updates.

Unauthenticated sitemap pings always seemed a bit ridiculous to me.

We are happy to announce the Librem 5 + Librem AweSIM cellular service bundle and payment plan starting at $99/mo (4GB Data), or $129/mo (10GB Data), or $169/mo (Unlimited Data).

As of yesterday, I am officially maintaining the XDG Specifications (yes, yes, I make questionable choices ^^).
This means, if there's anything I should have a look at, or if you want to propose any addition/change, you know who to ping now! (even better if a MR/patch is attached, of course)
Thanks to everyone working on Freedesktop integration and projects, you rock!

#Mobilizon flies out of the @Framasoft nest: we pass the project on to the Kaihuri association.

All the info and answers to your questions can be found in this article : joinmobilizon.org/en/news#24-0…

As a result, we will also be handing over the keys to this account, which will no longer be managed by @Framasoft.

Thank you all for your trust, and all the best to #Mobilizon!

Slightly amused the ICJ in its recent order regarding the Gaza war explicitly pointed out that its order is legally binding, as if reminding certain member states of the basics of international public law. Specifically, on para 48:

48. The Court recalls that its orders on provisional measures under Article 41 of the Statute have binding effect and thus create international legal obligations for any party to whom the provisional measures are addressed (Allegations of Genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Ukraine v. Russian Federation), Provisional Measures,Order of 16 March 2022, I.C.J. Reports 2022 (I), p. 230, para. 84).


The order unanimously obliges Israel to allow aid in coordination with the UN through land crossings. This finding was unanimous, even voted for by the Israeli ad hoc judge. icj-cij.org/sites/default/file…

My article for The Guardian just dropped.

"With no changes to how the industry operates and no watchdogs to check the abuse and greed that have defined it over its now-15 years of existence, we are doomed to see history repeat itself. More Bankman-Frieds will emerge to take his place, drawn by the promise of easy money and the low likelihood of consequences."
