Ok internet… what are these spring-loaded plastic drawstring lock thingies called that you find on like sweatpants or hoodies? I want to source some but have no idea what they’re called…


"Drie weken geleden maakte de Leidse universiteitsbibliotheek bekend dat ze 400.000 buitenlandse proefschriften zou gaan vernietigen, maar dinsdag werd duidelijk dat er een streep gaat door dit voornemen. The @internetarchive neemt de dissertaties over en zal ze digitaliseren en online beschikbaar maken."

Jamie Dimon, $JPM, described the Buffett Rule as a good idea for clamping down on US debt, per YF.

It says richer households shouldn't pay taxes on a smaller share of income than middle-class ones.

#Italy is losing its mind because of #copyright: it just made its awful #PiracyShield even worse - walledculture.org/italy-is-los… new threat to VPNs and DNS worldwide

Glyn Moody reshared this.

in reply to Glyn Moody

(Italian here) is not because of copyright but because of soccer. Soccer league earnings dropped in the last decade (or more), basically nobody want to pay an outrageous amount of money to watch soccer, so people in Italy are installing devices to circumvent the pay per view.

But "copyright" is a trojan horse for soccer.

in reply to Luigi Rosa

@lrosa yes, you're right of course, but copyright is the weapon that is wielded by the football industry. that's the problem: the fact that it can - and is - used in this way. Italy has lost its mind in the sense that the government is trying to "protect" copyright with these insane measures...
in reply to Glyn Moody

of course you are right. Even worse, this could be a method to block websites/IP without going in front of a Judge. ISPs are fighting this, but they'll have few chances to win because in Italy soccer is maybe more powerful than the church in terms of political influence.

Si les Jeux Olympiques sont terminés, la vidéosurveillance algorithmique (VSA), elle, est toujours là ! Alors que l'on attend son évaluation, les promoteurs de cette technologie ont d'ores et déjà débuté la bataille pour rendre acceptable sa pérennisation.

Pourtant, il n'est question que d'économies dans les dépenses publiques... Faut il comprendre soit qu'on fait l'économie d'une évaluation , soit que la poursuite de la VSA ne coûte rien , ni à l'Etat , ni aux collectivités ? On hésite.

‘A time of painful birth and major transformation’: a senior Hamas leader reflects on October 7 and its aftermath

Basically Gramsci. The old hegemonic world order is dying and a new multipolar world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters: plague, climate catastrophe, war, and genocide. Our own four horsemen.


Google backed Israel’s military. Now its workers are in revolt


in reply to Arthur Besse

Lol, mean while they are perfectly fine doing work for China, you know the country with literal death camps for minorities.
in reply to Jake Farm

What are you talking about?

Google doesn't operate in China, much less do work for the CCP.

in reply to Jake Farm

So they tried to open a research center to steal Chinese talent (that has since been closed) and they released the Google Translate app on the Xiaomi store...

That's not the same as supporting the CCP and the Uyghur genocide.

in reply to Arthur Besse

Articles written like this have given me an irrational hatred of all journalists. Tired of people trying to use reporting as a creative writing outlet. Not the time or place.

As 1.0 approaches, I'm updating the demo app in #Textual as the current one was written before a lot of the good stuff.

There's going to be a number of pages, the user can switch between.
