I had posted once about the need of some annual action for the promotion of an open source and decentralised Internet. I have found that there was an attempt to introduce the #InternetFreedomDay, held at 18th of January to commemorate the victory in the case of #sopapipa acts in the USA. I think that the #fediverse totally corresponds with the ideas of that day, so it would be good occasion to revive it. What do you think about?

Gordon Monson: LDS Church leaders say they oppose abortion "on moral grounds." They should use that reasoning to oppose Donald Trump, and say so, loudly and clearly, to their members.

But they won’t because they’re actually the prototypical hypocritical “conservatives.”

Ecco come un problema che abbiamo riscontrato sul nostro server Poliverso.org ci ha fatto accorgere dell’invasione dei crawler che Meta sta sguinzagliando per il Web con l’obittivo di addestrare la sua intelligenza artificiale. E i media italiani, muti!

Caspita.
E pensare che Meta rompe tanto le palle su 'ste cose... che scraping dai loro siti non si deve fare per ToS, che se lo fai ti ratelimitano pesantemente, a tal punto che succede che ti bloccano anche se vedi troppa roba in giro da un normale browser senza un account loggato... però poi loro sono i primi.

43 municipalities and 12 counties in Montana this summer passed a measure to rethink their local government structures. The vote itself doesn’t change anything — it simply kicks off a process: each area will now elect their own study commissions next month.boltsmag.org/montana-housing-o…

It was the biggest estate-tax payment in modern history, but no one knew who made it. Then an anonymous phone call pointed to one man.

Chad is such a Chad that they even stole Romania's flag
in reply to I Cast Fist

Chad chose it when Romania was using a different one, Chad is environmentally conscious and reuses to reduce waste
in reply to Skua

To be fair to Romania, the symbol on their flag at the time was also toxic waste, so it's good they got rid of it and nobody is reusing it.

Romania has used the flag since 1866, which appeared for the first time in its current form in Wallachia.
It was officially in use from 1866 until 1948, when it was superseded by the flag of the Socialist Republic of Romania.

Chad began to use its present flag in 1960, after it achieved independence from France. When Chad adopted its flag, Romania's flag also included an emblem in the middle of the flag on top of the tricolour.

However, in 1989 Romania's government was overthrown and the insignia was removed, reverting Romania's flag to the prewar version which matched the one which had been adopted by Chad in the meantime.

Chad and Romania have different flags. The blue is different

You can clearly see that the flag in the image is the Chad flag

I really shouldn't have to say this, but an important corollary of "a computer can't be held accountable/ a computer must never make management decisions." is also that a computer should not have launch authority.

Once again, the expansion of this technology is a cost we cannot bear.

Not discussed in this article, but a very real consideration, is the fact that nations facing dwindling populations for military recruiting will almost certainly turn to greater automation to maintain force.

I'm not happy that the Garmin Connect website is down (that's where you can upload, manage, and analyze your workout data). I do have to say I love their error screens :).

Looks uncomfortably close to the "stick in bicycle wheel" meme.
