 Journalist : “Gaza has no access to food, water and electricity. I’m interested to know if the Chancellor supports this and does he see these actions covered by international law?” Speaker for the gov: “For the Chancellor (Scholz) the main thing is the solidarity with Israel!” The reaction from the journalist at the end says it all. Twitter/X has officially removed article headlines on links shared to the platform displaying just the image and website. This is what happens when you let go all your UX people.

  Using Free Software in commercial applications is a thing, but it's not a theft or transfer of assets, because software is zero marginal cost. The inverse of this argument was made by Microsoft in the 1990s arguing why government use of FLOSS was bad for the American economy. I worked as a sys-admin for the government for over a decade and our use of Free Software saved the taxpayers enormous amounts of money. @yogthos It honestly depends on the license. A number of idealistic people developed the "free as in speech" copyright concept in the 1960s and 1970s. Then there was the "copyleft" idea, and there isn't even one GPL, there are like five variants. Meanwhile the BSD license exists, in a few clauses, is quick and easy to read, and just says "do whatever you want, just retain the author's name in the source and don't sue us when something breaks." Very capitalism-friendly. Data centres account for between 1.5% and 2% of global electricity consumption https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2023/08/16/can-computing-clean-up-its-act

 @yogthos …and switch to airplane mode rather than hanging up. It keeps the illusion consistent. Paper cuts are so painful because at a microscopic level paper is quite rough. A knife makes a straight cut, but paper acts like a saw blade and does more damage to nerve endings. Paper also leaves behind tiny fibres, irritating the wound even more. https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/why-do-paper-cuts-hurt-so-much/ |
