Vipps hadde en tilsvarende greie for noen år siden, men det løste seg etterhvert. Det var før /e/OS kom opp i versjon 1.0. Nå er de på version 3.0.1. Og dette surret dukket opp i dag. Var inne i Vipps i går uten problemer.

TeliaPlay funker ikke. Ellers funker alt annet helt fint. BankID, førerkort, Ruter og bruker flere bank apper - null problemer der. (HBO) Max, TV2 Play, Netflix, NRK appene funker alle fint.

The point of the argument from ignorance is that you cannot conclude an argument being true or false based on a negation.

To break down your argumentation with a parallel example.

There is no indication from the Home Office or FA that language criteria will be added to this.

" I see no apples in the store, ..."

Ergo, as it stands, footballers are exempt.

"... therefore apples does not exist"

And you can replace your FA/HO arguments and conclusion with the 11th commandment. It's the same.

All these argument are lacking a reason, an evidence, which supports the initial argument why it becomes true.

@selzero @denisbloodnok

"No indication" is an argument for absence of evidence (aka «Argument from ignorance»). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance

Therefore your conclusion cannot be fully verified.

@selzero @denisbloodnok I'm sorry, but I can't see you share any verifiable source other than your claim.

@selzero Try not to make this worse than it really is. I'm not living in the UK, so I'm not too deep into the full political situation there except of what is being reported abroad.

For any individual living in a foreign country, it is really valuable to know the language. It helps understanding the culture of the country you live in. It helps integrating you into the society and makes it easier to get to know more people - like your neighbors. It makes it easier to get a job.

There are a tons of reasons learning the language of the country you want to move to.

For people not doing that, they often end up isolated in the country. If there are many of them, they typically move to live close to each other - which is understandable. But this is where the beginning of frustration grows more quickly, resulting in more segregation and social issues across the whole region slowly grows. Combine that with lack of job possibilities and the crime starts to rise

Language is key to reduce these risks. It's not the solution alone. But to get newcomers to integrate better, language is the first of many steps. And when newcomers gets chance to properly integrate, they have a chance to start contributing back to the community and society.

There are no easy nor simple solutions. There are no quick-fixes here. But it's a large puzzle with many pieces which all need to fit together.

However, f the political goal is to use language knowledge to block immigrants to arrive to UK - I can agree that is highly questionable. But if it is one of more steps to ensure better integration of immigrants in the longer run, it might not be as bad.

Integration is, after all, the most important aspect of a well functional society.

@denisbloodnok @selzero

Where was that claim made and by whom? What's your source?

@forteller De vilkårene der burde jo være lett å akseptere ......... 😉

@forteller

Altså noen som lesser ned et piano med "pynteting" og tilbyr det som pinneved fortjener ikke å være i besittelse av et sånt instrument.

Dessverre sies det ingenting om hvor stemt det er eller hva slags vedlikehold det har hatt ("ingen" er det jeg tipper). Det kan være at det har blitt så forsømt at en uopprettelig skade har skjedd.

Hadde det vært en institusjon for vanskjøtsel av instrumenter - alla barnevernet - så ville disse vært på plass sporenstreks.

Hadde vi hatt plass og mulighet til å å hente det, hadde jeg vært i en bil allerede.

Og ja, for de som lurer: Et instrument er IKKE et møbel som man putter pynteting på.

@ryanc

A shorter version could be puncher and victim .....

@forteller og hvorfor trenger man feltet for kjønn i det hele tatt?

@jwildeboer

What would you say is the advantage of running a closed Forgejo instance vs just pushing your git trees to home server via SSH?

I'm also using @Codeberg for public stuff (also donated too!) ... which is why I wonder about the advantage of also running a fully private instance.

@kiwix This is not the first time I've heard this about Hetzner. And I have a cruel experience myself.

Many years ago I tried signing up with them, but after a few days waiting I was requested to send copies of identity confirmation and the credit card used. Being inexperienced with such services back then, I thought this was common and did so. After yet another few days my sign-up was rejected without any reason. I was going to use the setup for professional hosting, so I tried a bit to understand why but the communication went dead.

I found other alternatives back then within the same price range and got started within an hour, with no issues at all.

I am located in Europe and the alternative provider I went with was also a German company. That's when I decided to consider Hetnzer a scam company.

They might feel they're too big to fail. But as these cases grows and the communities gets aware of it ... Hetzner is eventually entering into a never ending downwards spiral.

@jwildeboer @fale Looking forward to a little review and your opinions about once you've had it in use for a bit 😉

Considering such a device too. But efficient ones with no cameras and no cloud connection seems scarce these days.

This has potential to become a shitstorm for #Matrix @matrix

https://www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/newsroom/news/international-operation-takes-down-another-encrypted-messaging-service-used-criminals

I honestly didn't know that was a suitable service for #E2EE messaging. It feels a lot more like #Europol is trying to make lots of fuzz to rattle the cage.

@kamyk @quad9dns I'm also using my own self-hosted caching resolver server. Quad9 is a decent alternative when that's unavailable.

Please stop spreading FUD.

• This person did something which is illegal according to the Swiss legal system. Proton is required by law to adhere to Swiss court orders. This is no different from any other company operating in any country.
• The only thing Proton could provide was an e-mail recovery address. Having a recovery address is optional.
• This recovery address led to reveal the real account on a different e-mail system - with a very weak privacy protection.
• No e-mails from Proton was or could be made available to law enforcement.
• If this user had read the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy of Proton, these potential issues should be pretty clear.

In addition, Proton has a transparency report on number of orders the have contested and complied with: https://proton.me/legal/transparency

@vaurora

yikes! Okay, I'll admit I'm not using them myself. Just saw your "wishlist" and thought of it. I would personally consider to use them if their services was properly #E2EE.

But let's see if @gael or @murena wakes up and has a reasonable explanation is aware about the downtime. I also believe I saw some discussions about using your own domains with Murena; unless I was hallucinating .

I'm sorry, @gael ... I did not intend to be a jerk. That was entirely poorly chosen words - and fully my fault! I hope you can forgive me.

My intention was just to hear if there was some odd issues which had a reasonable cause. It seemed odd that the main service in the Murena platform had such issues.
