@bortzmeyer is reporting in https://www.bortzmeyer.org/menaces-de-cloud-innovation.html that Cloud Innovation, the Chinese company that has paralyzed #AFRINIC with legal actions, is threatening people who share links to this article: https://medium.com/@emmanuelvitus/afrinic-hope-hijack-and-the-harsh-lessons-of-african-multistakeholderism-8e8378797101 .

I expect that the Streisand effect will manifest...

Donald Trump is visiting a couple of his golf course in Scotland in a 'semi-private' visit later this summer....

This will be in addition to any second state visit that is organised.

My guess is many people in Scotland might want to voice their (shall we say) displeasure at him rocking up in Scotland.....

And yes, you can expect the security costs to be astronomical!

@raymierussell Mine's a pull-behind variant, seems to have better suction than the previous one with bags had.
@cstross @johnefrancis We've had 23° in the morning, and it was so nice and cool :)

@raymierussell @vkc I've got both a Roomba S9+ and a bagless vacuum. Roomba runs daily while I'm at work, and I use the bagless vacuum for stairwell and two rooms that Roomba can't reach due to the step.

Every now and then Roomba does get caught on the frills one of the carpets has, but it's rare enough to not matter, and it cleans well enough for me (when my grandmother passed away, I put one of her carpets in my livingroom, and I thought I'd have to order a carpet cleaning service, since it was quite dusty and grey; but every day after Roomba made a pass, it was becoming visibly ligher, and after about 10 days it looked completely different, with very lively colours).

Hello fellow hackers!!!

I want to give away the Flock Safety camera and battery pack I tore down a few weeks ago. The Serial header has been soldered to and the back 7 pin connection has been cut to trace voltages and I2C busses.

Otherwise the android OS is factory-ish minus the install of magisk root to access the filesystem. I did not overwrite the boot loader, but can give you the root enabled boot loader to call from fastboot.

I want to pass on the camera to someone who can continue to dissect the OS and the APPS publicly. I don't want the camera to go to a CVE hunter.

Thoughts?

@munin unfortunately, i fear that they will only be removed from their positions after they succeed at bringing disaster

So. I've been on field manual labor crews where most of my coworkers were convicts.

I've also worked with a lot of tech companies on automating farms.

And this press conference is incredible. Rollins hasn't the foggiest clue what she's on about.

Petition: Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services

Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover physical transition, including hormone treatment and surgery, as otherwise I believe it could potentially be interpreted as including conversion therapy.

There is a new setting for server operators in #Mastodon 4.4, under Administration -> Server Settings -> Discovery, called "Allow external sites to see your Mastodon server as a traffic source". If you're running a server for a larger group of people there is no privacy downside to enabling this, and it will help make the fediverse more visible as a traffic source to the rest of the web.

@dec_hl Short answer to your question: No, they don't! And apparently, they don't even take a second look before their design goes into production!
@DP0 do you know the design fail videos of refashioned hippie? 🤣
@dec_hl I know some of the examples for design fails, but I don't think I've seen these videos. I'll have a look at those. 😃
And some good stuff! #badlogo #logo #baddesign #graphicdesign #wtf #funny #badsigns #dirtymind #ohno

@DP0 @dec_hl c’mon ! It ain’t gonna suck itself !

@DP0 @dec_hl

No. That would be weird.

@DP0 @dec_hl I feel like this quite accidentally goes along with a photo I just put up😂
@DP0 Always *so* nice when somebody has a topical answer lined up ready to fire off.
@dec_hl
@DP0 @dec_hl you wouldn't be able to stop me drinking from that!
@DP0 this bottle reminded me of a typical shape of "botijo". A botijo is a recipient made of clay that keeps water cool by evapotranspiration, widely used in the south part of Spain, for those that don't know. This one represents a "Guardia civil", which is an agent of one of the police forces in our country. I have always found this design absolutely gross, but it is not unlikely to find one of these 😂
@DP0 @dec_hl Do you know about this - it is, apparently, useless, because if you get acid on the gold plate, it will erode it.
@SteveClough if it's real gold, fruit acids shouldn't hurt it
@DP0 @dec_hl

@punissuer @SteveClough @DP0 @dec_hl I think you would all enjoy the book “the design of everyday things” by Don Norman, which is a product design textbook, written in layman’s terms.

Including the idea of a “Norman Door” which is a door for which it is not obvious whether you should push or pull.

@SimonCHulse @punissuer @DP0 @dec_hl That is the one - that is who I saw it by.

I have that book, and have read it.

@punissuer @DP0 @dec_hl I don't think it impact the gold as such. It is the fact it is plated, so the acid may find a gap underneath?

Anyway, I remember reading in a book by someone who had one and it came with this warning.

@DP0 @dec_hl Oh. "To infinity and beyond" makes perfect sense now.
