I thought this was about ending the practice of moving the clock back and forth twice a year, but no, it’s just about soon moving the clock

“TD Bank created an environment that allowed financial crime to flourish,” Garland said. “By making its services convenient for criminals, it became one.”

I hope no one indeed will be “off limits” in the criminal investigation, let’s see…

I agree. I love Mastodon’s calm columnar UI with lists and hashtags where I feel I’m in control of my experience, and that I can just stop whenever and come back in three days.

I finally got around to installing OpenMW - it looks much better! Thanks again

I agree with you, I’m also missing context. I agree this looks very fishy for the police to be paying her a visit with the “you are walking a line” comment, but without knowing all the details, I’m reluctant to jump into definitive conclusions. I really hope this story gets picked up by media so we at least get that side as well, however imperfect it might be.

Agreed, no big deal. But YouTubers who knew about it before this controversy will typically use the intended pronouncing, and it’s easy to spot those who didn’t care much about it until this all started.

It sounds like G-DOUGH.

This never crossed my mind, but you are right. Online interactions do lack a lot of context, and it must have been hard (or practically impossible) to discern genuine from malicious calls to remain apolitical in a situation of intense online harassment.

This is evident in a few ways:

• How they subtly or glaringly misunderstand what it is and what it does
• How they call it “a company”
• How they pronounce it as GO-DOT

20% by 20%, the progress bar of me agreeing with this assessment went to a 100% as I was reading it.

“A few stakeholders were concerned that the release of the report would result in new legal action (criminal prosecution, citizen revocation, or otherwise) being brought against the individuals named in the report,”

Also known as “justice” and “law”.

Just forwarded this pic to my dad. I’ll be guiding him in installing Mint on one of his old Windows desktops this coming Saturday! Wish us luck in the coming years 😂

Wow, thanks, I’ll try this!

I’m using Vanilla, but AFAIK modded would work just as well. The key for playing old, pre-controller games meant for big monitors on the Deck are two features: Stream Input and Native Zoom. I always map one of the back buttons (usually) to Toggle Zoom.

Please post about your experience with modded Morrowind, I might want to try that too!

Darkest Dungeon, Black Reliquary, Pillars of Eternity, Cloudpunk, Pathfinder 2, Divinity 2 Original Sin, Slay the Spire, Witcher 1 and 3, Morrowind, Oblivion, Torment, to name just a few…

This is informative on the differences between the ActivityPub any AT protocols: https://youtu.be/-R9CWq5CBlk?si=BzW7c5U0WXH8VxrO

The intro explains some history and things which ppl here probably already know, but overall I find it provides a pretty good analysis of the current social media landscape, and these two protocols in particular.

Thanks for sharing, great list!

Interesting perspective. It implies that:

1. The value of their policy work is significantly below the technical community’s contributions value
2. There is perceived status to be gained by climbing this particular social ladder.

I neither agree or disagree fully, but I believe there is value in good governance of large and diverse projects.

Whether their governance is good is what this whole kerfuffle is all about.

Searching some of these Python Community discussions separately and reading how they handled these bumps in the road as a group has actually increased my confidence in that group as a whole:

https://discuss.python.org/t/three-month-suspension-for-a-core-developer/60250

https://discuss.python.org/t/calling-for-a-vote-of-no-confidence/61557

On the other hand, the three month suspension of Tim Peters that started it all and how that was handled sounds problematic (the second half of the essay addresses each point from the original banning rationale in detail):

Finally, Chris McDonough (the author of the above article) drawing attention to valid criticism of his own defense of Tim Peters is a blueberry on top of the cherry on the cake:

I hope the community ends up stronger as a result of this.

Iratus is somewhat like this. Incidentally, its developer is called Unfrozen and the game has some stunning gameplay elements 😂
