Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work

Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at The Hague-based court also have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. In addition, some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC. Rights groups say these problems will prevent victims of war crimes from getting justice.

I’m continuing to accidentally become a Godot to Flathub pipeline expert, stumbling through GitHub Actions on the way. Chaining all of this stuff together is actually pretty fun and powerful. :D

If you have a free¹ Godot game you want help getting onto the biggest Linux app store, let me know! I wrote a blog post² but could probably update it with what else I’ve learned.

¹Free because Flathub doesn’t support payments… yet

Just in case you didn't know (but I guess you specifically need docker-compose.yml syntax):

#Podman reuses SystemD to replace Docker Compose because SystemD has way more options, makes it easy to integrate containerized services with non-containerized ones and the host system. Podman includes a SystemD unit generator, #Quadlet, allowing you to manage files like .container, .image, .network, .build and more.

NO:

“Look, these Muskerbergzos types are kind of dislikable, sure, but they’re just proof that that’s what it takes to succeed! Gotta be a shitstain if you want to get ahead!”

YES:

“All decent and wise people have some sense of ‘enough.’ Past a certain point, pursuit of further wealth is nothing but a sign of deep psychological brokenness.”

Microsoft is introducing ads into a free version of Office, which seemingly only lets users save to OneDrive.

In other news, LibreOffice is also free, doesn't have ads, and lets you save your documents wherever you want. I use it every day for my work. It is available here:
