"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

It is 7 AM CEST. The EU citizen initiative calling for a ban on "conversion therapy" (here meaning, pseudoscientific attempts to "cure" LGBTQs) is less than 250,000 votes from success. This is astounding, the votes have like, *tripled* in a week.

The page says voting ends "May 17", and I wish I knew if that meant "at midnight tonight" or "midnight tomorrow" or what. Uh. Do you know

Germany is ~6,000 local votes from endorsing it. Are there 6,000 Germans on this website

Sarychev Peak Eruption, Kuril Islands

A fortuitous orbit of the International Space Station in 2009 offered the astronauts a striking view of the volcano in an early stage of eruption.

❝
Our police do not carry firearms, because a firearm is an explicit threat of lethal force. If our police routinely carried firearms, then that would be telling both them and the citizens they encounter that the job of a police officer is to kill people. It makes them soldiers, not law enforcement.

[They] are also trained to believe that it’s their job to risk their lives for others — like firefighters — so they should always prioritise saving the lives of others.
