I'm not interested in debate. DISENGAGE!

Ha! Now I have the last word because I said disengage and since I expressed both viewpoints at the same time I am both correct and incorrect preemptively! I win! Everyone bow to my genius! I am the best leftist now.

I am drunk.

The new European Parliament, elected in June 2024, has shifted further to the right, with conservative and nationalist parties gaining ground and forming two new groups — Patriots for Europe (PfE) and Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN).

Since taking office, the new parliament has voted on at least 14 resolutions concerning Russia and Ukraine — an early test of how its fresh line-up approaches foreign policy.

Drawing on these voting records, EUobserver and Novaya Gazeta Europe are releasing an updated ranking of the most pro-Kremlin parties and MEPs.

Meta allegedly gave accounts engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex” 16 chances before suspending them, according to testimony from the company’s former head of safety and well-being, Vaishnavi Jayakumar. The testimony — along with several other claims that Meta ignored problems if they increased engagement — surfaced in an unredacted court filing related to a social media child safety lawsuit filed by school districts across the country.

Feeling it's a dumb question because my brain isn't parsing exactly how this is supposed to work.

Anyone in the UK want to give it a spin?

After all, open-source applications can immediately and noticeably reduce dependencies on tech giants. Among others, Schleswig-Holstein or the International Criminal Court are currently demonstrating this. But in reality, open-source providers were treated shabbily by politicians at the summit, even scolded in places.

This is most clearly seen in the “Charter for Digital Sovereignty and Resilience,” initiated by Austria, which was signed by all EU states at the summit. The text states: “Open-source solutions can play an important role in strengthening digital sovereignty, provided they meet high cybersecurity standards and, where appropriate, are complemented by reliable proprietary technologies.” Open source is thus branded as technology that is typically insecure and unreliable. A slap in the face.

Overall, the impression from the summit was: In terms of digital sovereignty, politics primarily relies on “Buy European” clauses, AI and cloud projects, and on heavyweights like SAP, Schwartz Digits, or Telekom.

The former president was jailed over the weekend after tampering with his ankle monitor while on house arrest. The Supreme Court judges who upheld his incarceration fear he might try to escape.

A panel of four Supreme Court judges unanimously upheld on Monday a decision to incarcerate Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro, after he was arrested over the weekend when he tampered with his ankle monitor.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro's detention on Saturday, citing fears he might try to escape custody if allowed to stay on house arrest, where he has been awaiting an appeal against his 27-year prison sentence for plotting a failed coup.

On Monday, Justices Flavio Dino, Cristiano Zanin and Carmen Lucia upheld de Moraes' order.

Generative “AI” data centers are gobbling up trillions of dollars in capital, not to mention heating up the planet like a microwave. As a result there’s a capacity crunch on memory production, shooting the prices for RAM sky high, over 100 percent in the last few months alone. Multiple stores are tired of adjusting the prices day to day, and won’t even display them. You find out how much it costs at checkout.

The trade war was supposed to bring back jobs… but it somehow backfired on America’s soybean farmers. 😬

In this video, I break down how a huge global market vanished almost overnight, why bailouts suddenly became the only lifeline, and how this whole situation turned into socialism for rich soyboys.

GrapheneOS is being heavily targeted by the French state because we provide highly secure devices and won't include backdoors for law enforcement access. They're conflating us with companies selling closed source products using portions of our code. Both French state media and corporate media are publishing many stories attacking the GrapheneOS project based on false and unsubstantiated claims from French law enforcement. They've made a clear threat to seize our servers and arrest our developers if we do not cooperate by adding backdoors. Due to this, we're leaving France and leaving French service providers including OVH. We need substantial help from the community to push back against this across platforms. People malicious towards us are also using it as an opportunity to spread libel/harassment content targeting our team, raid our chat rooms and much more. /e/ and iodéOS are both based in France, and are both actively attacking GrapheneOS. /e/ receives substantial government funding. Both are extremely non-private and secure which is why France is targeting us while those get government funding. We need a lot more help than usual and we're sending our the first ever notification to everyone on the server because this is a particularly bad situation. If people help us, it will enable us to focus more on development again including releasing experimental Pixel 10 releases very soon.

Happened a couple of weeks ago, but all API access has to go through a manual review process and seems like they're rejecting personal 3rd party use. The only way you can use the API now is if you create a game or mod tool that "lives on reddit".

The people that create access tokens to use third party apps won't be considered a "responsible use" for the API, right?

Correct and this hasn't changed since we made our updates back in 2023. The goal is to enable developers to build great products for users and mods, powered by Reddit on Reddit.

Jimmy Cliff, the singer and actor whose mellifluous voice helped to turn reggae into a global phenomenon, has died aged 81.

A message from his wife Latifa Chambers on Instagram reads: “It’s with profound sadness that I share that my husband, Jimmy Cliff, has crossed over due to a seizure followed by pneumonia. I am thankful for his family, friends, fellow artists and coworkers who have shared his journey with him. To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career … Jimmy, my darling, may you rest in peace. I will follow your wishes.” Her message was also signed by their children, Lilty and Aken.

Currently I have random docs/how-tos for my network stored in a forgejo repo, just a bunch of READMEs. I'd like to somehow make that a bit more official, I like writing it in markdown/git and having source control, but was wondering if anyone has a good wiki tool they like that can consume that and make it more hostable? Thanks!

Missing slowdown, enemies, particle-effects, etc. Damn, I was hoping City Connection wouldn't drop the ball this time. Hopefully all this is patchable.

Ukraine has significantly amended the US “peace plan” to end the conflict, removing some of Russia’s maximalist demands, people familiar with the negotiations said, as European leaders warned on Monday that no deal could be reached quickly.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy may meet Donald Trump in the White House later this week, sources indicated, amid a flurry of calls between Kyiv and Washington. Ukraine is pressing for Europe to be involved in the talks.

They say there can be no recognition of land seized by Russia militarily, and that Kyiv should make its own decisions on whether to join the EU and Nato – something the Kremlin wants to veto or impose conditions on. Ukraine’s first deputy foreign minister, Sergiy Kyslytsya, told the Financial Times such issues had been “placed in brackets” for Trump and Zelenskyy to decide upon later.
