June 2024: “Warning about Ryan Routh: he is not, and never has been, associated with the International Legion or the Ukrainian Armed Forces at all. He is not, & never has been, a legion recruiter. He is misrepresenting himself and lying to many people.” byteseu.com/422862/ #Ukraine #UkrainianConflict #UkrainianConflict

@bekopharm
I wouldn't say "triggered", but compared to a "thanks, I already knew that", it does always come across as a bit insecure.

There is a difference between assuming that someone needs an explanation and not knowing whether someone needs an explanation. In this case I've never met this person before and I can't really assume anything.

Looking at the amount of people that ruined their nozzles with glow-in-the-dark filament on here, it's probably still a fair warning.

@fribbledom got an instant block for asking after following for months. That one is totally triggered :P

Ah well 🤷

L'abbé Pierre, accusé de viols et agressions sexuelles, fréquentait aussi les maisons closes à Genève. Dès 1990, la célèbre prostituée Grisélidis Real l'avait révélé à Christophe Dechavane mais son témoignage a été enterré. "A la suite de cette émission, les réactions ont été très violentes. On lui a craché à la figure dans la rue. Elle a reçu beaucoup de lettres d'insultes et de menaces", détaille son fils Igor Schimek. rts.ch/info/regions/geneve/202…

Ce qui signifie que la sexualité fait partie de la vie... L'horreur du célibat forcé ! Si l'église pouvait changer sa loi, tout ce scandale ne serait pas pour rien !
in reply to Afchouya

@Afchouya Ah bon? Parce que permettre aux prêtres d'avoir une vie affective et sexuelle résoudrait les viols, la pédophilie, etc.? Dans ce cas, il n'y en aurait pas dans la vie de tous les jours...
in reply to Nils Wilcke

peut-être pour plus qu'aujourd'hui et pas pour tous j'en conviens. Mais ce célibat obligatoire est la porte ouverte pour toutes ces horreurs.
in reply to Nils Wilcke

@Afchouya
Disons que ça ne résoudrait pas tout mais le tabou sur la sexualité des prêtres ne favorise pas une vie affective équilibrée et peut être la source de pas mal de débordements dans la mesure où une sexualité réprimée risque de s'exprimer par des voies déviantes. Et que l'interdit entretient une culture de la dissimulation qui donne le champ libre aux agresseurs.


You'll likely be depressingly unsurprised by the indication that decisions by the DWP on benefits sanctions looked to be shaped by institutional racism.

Once again, while we may claim (often rightly) to be a multicultural society, our governing institutions seem unable to address issues without some from of ethnic bias...

I wonder why that is?

Could it be, a history of racism that goes back centuries is well embedded & needs more work to root out!?

Currently working on a non-profit in #AISecurity ( oais.is ) with some critical work and are looking for hardware sponsoring. Primarily we are looking for Notebooks that we can run Linux on and burner phones.

I've tried to reach out to #tuxedo computers without feedback. Does anyone have a lead on linux focused hardware shops that offer sponsoring for non-profits?

No surprise, but it wasn't possible to get a full sponsoring directly from a vendor :( However, my beautiful friend Joseph (linkedin.com/in/josephcarnariu…), with whom I shared many sleepless nights, in work, in stress, and in fun and games, decided to support our endeavors and sponsored a complete set of hardware! I could not be more grateful #ngo #linux #cybersecurity #ai #alignment #nonprofit


Today I'm reading a heavily typed #Python source file. Alas, most of the typing is marked as `Any`, but also a lot of `type: ignore`. I have the impression this is the outcome of a tool, but maybe it's just the dev?


“#OpenSource communities today are much better off…Yes, there are technology layoffs, and they seem to be very cyclical, and it's not necessarily always a nice industry to be in…at the same time, I feel like #opensource is doing very well. People take #opensource for granted now, in a way that they absolutely did not just two decades ago.” Linus Thorvalds #osssummit


#opensource service providers are not operating on a vendor lock-in. A very important aspect to factor in if you are looking for any new tech for your organization.

Barnier n'a pas envie de voir débarquer Courson et Coquerel à l'hôtel de Matignon. Ses services vont (enfin) leur transmettre les lettres-plafonds pour le budget ce matin, révèle Le Parisien. Le coup de pression du député LFI, qui menaçait de les chercher sur place comme il en a le pouvoir comme président de la toute puissante commission des finances, a fonctionné. Assemblée 1, Barnier 0. Tout un symbole leparisien.fr/politique/budget…

Et on comprend Barnier, toutes les chaines d’info filmant Coquerel et Courson en train de sonner à la porte de Matignon aurait été désastreux niveau image. Reste à connaître le petit mot qui accompagnera les lettres : “c’est trop tard pour changer” ? “c’est une base de départ” ? “venez dans le gouvernement et j’annule tout”… ?
in reply to BigSaur G

@GuillaumeL Oui bon après, Barnier aurait pu les laisser à la porte aussi...
