"The action was led by the group Futuro Vegetal, which pointed to a report by Oxfam showing that the wealthiest 1% of the world’s population generate the same amount of carbon emissions as the poorest two-thirds of humanity."

Bread and circus, for some with less bread, and more variety of distraction these days. I also have not heard much of prominent footballers speaking out about Gaza.

Also, for instance Saudis use football for sportswashing https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/may/12/lionel-messi-saudi-arabia-deal-tourism

Seems really light, no prison sentences and not payed for my issuing stocks.

@GreenFire @HistoPol this link is probably best. https://kyivindependent.com/handelsblatt-merkel-russia-gas/

I dislike the 'amp' and msn and yahoo for unnecessary indirection, cookiewall, javascript..

@feld there should be a standard saying how programs specify what they're limited too.

Also note, people do it uncleanly with firejail or bubblewrap now. For instance ~/iso/$ROLE becomes the $HOME directory for some of my programs. But like i do that to programs, dunno if doing it to the window manager is practical.. @ryan_harg @fasnix @yuki2501

@feld programs want regular $HOME rather arbitrarily. Not sure if a virtual filesystem can reply with "just hold on", while asking the user if it is ok. (think not?)

It might be good if file-selection browsers was an intermediary, if that intermediary is trusted, you can know the users asked to access to that file. Avoiding the whole prompt thing..

Also, like X and (slightly less so?)Wayland might allow too much too. @ryan_harg @fasnix @yuki2501

@researchfairy saw NileRed make something similar

@PacificNic @ryanhoulihan Britney Spears was under conservatorship for 13 years, which was used to exploit her.

She had a UID against her wil, violating her human rights.

But i won't say you burried the lede. Her agency is the lede.

@aral he seems really neoliberal and entwined with establishment US universities..

Apparently he wrote this on AI and blockchain too https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.04451
