Microsoft Teams is losing some features.

The free version of Microsoft Teams will no longer include Google Calendar sync, location sharing, and tasks. Microsoft is also removing the safe feature that lets you store sensitive information in Teams, and the compact mini view for Teams. The loss of Google Calendar sync is probably the most impactful for Teams free users, though.

Eritha, Mycenean priestess, c.1180 BC. She is mentioned in a Linear B inscription on an accidentally-fired clay tablet from Pylos, which records a proprty dispute between Eritha and local government. I've drawn her writing her name.

Some of the Stoics thought that Epicurus and his philosophy were entirely antithetical to Stoicism. Though he thought they got many things wrong, that wasn't Seneca's view. Here's a Sadler's Lectures episode about that

New research shows the risk of asthma in the child can be reduced by nearly half if the mother engages in active physical exercise at least three times a week during pregnancy, compared to a child of a mother who is less active. Lifestyle and environmental associations were taken into account. byteseu.com/483971/ #Science

Linux pipes allow the output of one process to be used as the input for another, enabling efficient chaining of processes in a command-line environment

There are two types of pipes available on Linux: anonymous pipe and named pipe. Let’s find out the difference between the two 😎👇

I'm the creator of this list of open source software. Most of what is on there is stuff I use. The list, unlike others, tries to factorize user experience into the mix, so one could realistically use all the software there. There are a few proprietary options in the mix, but those simply have no open source alternative.

Great source! Thank you very much for sharing, I’ll check it out more 😊


Exclusive: Musk's X to dodge requirements of landmark EU tech rules, sources say


BRUSSELS, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's X will not be designated as a gatekeeper under landmark EU tech rules known as the Digital Markets Act which would have subjected it to an onerous list of obligations, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.

The European Commission, which opened an investigation into online social media platform X in May, will announce its decision next week, the people said.

The EU competition enforcer declined to comment.
X, formerly known as Twitter, had previously told the Commission that even though it met the criterion regarding the number of users to be classified as a gatekeeper, it does not qualify for the other criterion as an important gateway between businesses and consumers.

Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok owner ByteDance and Booking.com, have been designated as gatekeepers, among others.

Lawyer sliminess doing its magic.
The world should have one less twitter
in reply to Visstix

Because they usually comply with the laws, when they get "asked" to.

Actually because Elon. Really.

The act requires a certain market position from a company. Which Twitter once definitely had - but does no longer have.
A lot of companies have turned their back on Twitter due to Musk (not only advertising wise but especially communication wise). And that does reduce the impact it possibly can have on the market. (Remember: The DSA is a market equalisation act)

in reply to geneva_convenience

Ok then I hope all the business accounts, social media reps, uptime reports, customer service hotlines, and advertisers plan to stop using Twitter.

Elections expert Simon Rosenberg (Hopium Chronicles) largely discounts NYT/Sienna. Particularly this year they seem to exist to substantiate 'shocker' headlines. His analysis has Dems doing much better in these states.
in reply to Jeff Jarvis

If the Republicans take the Senate and Trump becomes President. It might be time to join Mike Elgan in the ranks of the digital nomad.

Mastodon partners with Meta to form Social Web Foundation: a short story.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

I guess we are losing more grounds in our struggle to have freedom of speech fascist control of social networkings on internet.

One step closer to 1984!
