Instagram is about to lose its optional end-to-end encryption feature. Without it, Meta can view every DM on Instagram. Mozilla has a petition to push the company to reverse this decision. [external petition link] https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/petitions/keep-encryption-for-instagram/

Tell Meta: Keep Encryption for Instagram Messages

Meta has quietly said it will end support for encrypted messaging on Instagram in a matter of weeks. Encryption helps ensure that what your messages stay between you and the person with whom you're communicating. When end-to-end encryption is enabled, no one – not even Meta – can snoop on you. Right now, hundreds of millions of people use Instagram to message friends, family, and communities. Privacy should be a default feature of the technology we rely on every day – not an optional extra, and not something that quietly disappears. That's why we're asking Meta to reverse its decision and continue to support encryption on Instagram.

The need to rapidly transition to a green economy has never been clearer.

The most expensive thing we can do is double down on fossil fuels.

IDK yet. So while I've got time on my hands, I've been comparing all the easily accessible versions of this game I can find, and ... they don't all end the same.

Hello! Thanks for finding that, I'm new to looking up and finding specific games and trying them out.

There was no illegality suspected; my 90's chess computer came with a manual that had some errors in its rendition of this game.

Now I find that this game seems to have a few different endings, depending on where you look...

Is that normal?

@scheichsbeutel
Thankyou so much! I'll check it out.
I'm finding a few variations in how different accounts of this game end...
I wonder if this will be yet another variation?

Hello #chess community!

I'm working through a chess training handbook, which cites the game between Schulten and Morphy 1857 (New York).

While carefully single stepping through the move notation printed in the book, I noticed that something didn't add up, maybe due to a misprint, or me misinterpreting. So I'm trying to debug the book, by looking online for any other records of this game.

Worse still, the only online versions of this game do not tally at all with the printed version.

So, can anyone help me pin this exact game down please? Was there more than one?

Book says this game began as:
1. e4 e5
2. f4 d5
3. exd5 e4
4. Nc3 Nf6
5. d3 Bb4 ...

(Hopefully that's enough to get a lock on it?)

Kind regards!

URGENT PETITION, PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE WIDELY

To: Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!

Ministers actually have the option to cancel the NHS deal early. But with these contracts flying under the radar, it’ll take all of us speaking up to make that happen. If you agree that our NHS and other public services shouldn’t be cutting deals with a private company that helps armies kill people, sign the petition now!

#palantir #emergency

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.
