@aral i think that's bad messaging, it's telling them to feel bad. Tell them to change/remove the emblem and maybe put a bumper sticker up.

Give them actions to improve free speech and the value of a human life..

@bmacDonald94 tbh i think that's not how it is, guns have been around longer than school shootings etcetera.

It's like climate change, we could put a looot of CO2 in the air, but that's not what we do, we put an absolutely humongous amount of CO2 in the air, all the fossil fuel we can practically get at. And then it goes wrong.

The level of school shootings, or this CEO shooting is not because a little went wrong, it's because a lot is systematically wrong all the time.

Djata Grâce: “I think the Chadian government is right to demand the departure of French troops, because Chad has already had 66 years of independence, and the French troops are only here to plunder Chadian resources. They have nothing positive to offer. Since their presence, we have faced attacks around the lake, but we have received no positive response. So the government is right: We need to start developing now and be truly independent.”

"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
