Nice day.

OK, I'm going to hammer on this one. Five days might not seem like much to get 700,000 signature, but I've seen petitions get to 1 million in a day to save baby seals, so why not banning conversion therapy.
We have 4 countries above the threshold, but even if you're in those, your signature can make a different to reach the million.
Aside from that, we are nearing the threshold in the following countries:
Belgium
Slovenia
The Netherlands
Denmark
Germany

Perseverance captured a new selfie yesterday, to celebrate 1500 Sols on Mars.
The rover is currently investigating the outer rim of Jezero crater near an outcrop named Sally's Cove.

Evil is a word that should be used sparingly.

Israel has a policy of shooting children.
Not accidents. Not a rogue solider.

A policy.

Children, toddlers, babies.

That is evil.

@Aetherfox @broadwaybabyto They don't give a fuck, who's going to enforce those amendments?

No one is.

A few months back I closed my amazon account, logged out and blocked the website from my searches.

Shocking how well this has worked. Right up until I needed to order some more Advil. Which I always bought on amazon and very few other online sources sell. When I did the search: just two results on the first page. All the rest were amazon.

They have a very bad monopoly on certain home-goods. I'm delighted to pay a little more to avoid them.

You don't really see it until you leave.

@Sempf If you have an office 365 license you should have enabled stream.office.com; which lets you record the screen or applications

"Hey, we're gonna take a screenshot of your PC every five seconds to feed our AI, mmkay? Oh wait, you want a screenshot of a meeting slide? Heck no we don't want your COMPANY to sue us!"

@ana_valdi Y como no, el presidente de la comunidad es del PP.
Me jode por la perdida de patrimonio cultural pero, disfrutad de lo votado.

And, obviously, the president of the autonomous community of Aragon is from the PP political party.
It pisses me off the lost of cultural wealth but, enjoy what you voted for.

🤖 Another data centre to be deployed in Aragón (Spain), nearby a desert. And this time, it is going to destroy Roman archeological remains:

@nixCraft The Microsoft account thing can be skipped with a bit of knowhow (oobe BypassNRO)

Still, I hate W11 with the burning passion of a hundred suns.
If I pay for an OS I don't want to see ads on it, otherwise I will pirate it.

"If paying is not owning, pirating is not stealing"

How do the pro- & anti- genocide sides differ?

It's not about laws. It's in their values.

"If it means harming a hair on the head of a child, you do not do it. That's it. That is the difference between the two sides.

"They say kill the child, kill a thousand children, kill a hundred thousand children.

"We say you do not harm a child.

"That's the difference."

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

@TawdryHepburn Imagine if laws affecting the IT infrastructure and all relevant IT stuff were made by IT illiterate people.

Oh wait!

And that's was wrong with some places, they ignore or don't ask the experts on the relevant fields before writing laws.

@neonbubble I recognized the spider, only cause I was there just two weeks ago :D

37signals is completing its on-prem move, deleting its AWS account to save millions

Industry ‘pulled a fast one convincing everyone cloud is the only way’ says CTO David Heinemeier Hansson Web software biz 37signals has started to migrate its data out of the cloud and onto on-prem storage – and expects to save a further $1.3 million (£980,000) a year after completing it…

@itsfoss Nope, I already have Fedora installed to replace Windows.
Windows 10 was 'ugly' compared to W7, Windows 11 is spyware and malware straight away.

I do not want to see ads in my paid OS.

I do not want copilot

I do not want recall

Youse, the thing about techbros and AI is: “making up a string of plausible lies” is exactly how they got through every conversation and every test they ever had. It’s not a bug to them. To them, AI is “just as human as us”.
