In the memo, ahead of the campaign’s launch, executives grappled with whether to include public disclosures about “secondary” use – water used in generating the electricity to power its datacentres.

They warned that full transparency was “a one-way door” and advised keeping AWS’s projections confidential, even as they feared that their advice could invite accusations of a cover-up. “Amazon hides its water consumption” was one negative headline the authors anticipated.

Callaghan said efficiency savings have already been achieved and pointed out that other companies also don’t count secondary water use.

Scientists balked at the selective disclosure and the choice not to include secondary use of water in the total.

That’s what this looks like to me as well. “Notice: With the release of VFS for Git 2.32, VFS for Git is in maintenance mode”, so they actually renamed GVFS to VFS for Git (lol). Git LFS on the other hand has been public under this nae for over 9 years, the linked PR is just 7 years old, and I doubt MS would have this much influence over Git and the Software Freedom Conservancy.

indeed, katakana. the actual website name is “マリウス”, which I’m guessing means “Marius”.

Trump’s appeal was that he was unqualified, that he instead campaigned by bringing reality show tactics into politics full-scale, winning endless free airtime (“all exposure is good exposure”) for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Back then this idea had a sheen, like how “We’re going to build a wall” resonated with those close to Mexico. I agree that in hindsight everything seems obvious.

we knew he was a fraud, we knew all his enterprises failed

I don’t think we did. That seems to be first reported in 2018 and 2021.

(there’s also Ladybird but Servo is more exciting as the Rust one that used to be supported by Mozilla and now by the Linux Foundation)

Because the article says “voted for Trump in 2016” instead of any later year, I suspect that she is no longer a Trump supporter.

In 2016, Trump was a wildcard while Hillary Clinton was… Hillary Clinton. With the suspicious omission of the years after 2016 I’m guessing she didn’t vote Trump after that.

to save lives as a paramedic trainer and firefighter?

It’s a gift article link, it should not ask for a log-in.

I don’t think this was a suggestion, just a showerthought based on existing mobile app behavior

I don’t think he was that rich… surely there’s richer Americans who opposed even richer Americans and got knocked down, like at least Aaron Swartz. Not that I disagree with them on what led to their deaths. (Also, insult? More like going to great yet civil and pleasantrishly-polite lengths to oppose his campaigns.)

Huit

for niche communities so small and so tech-nonliterate that simply have no chance of being on the fediverse i went to tumblr instead

(for package management, not weird concerns like “they’re adding an entire http library to audacity for this so they must be in the process of using it for something else”)

telemetry and a reverted privacy policy change that lost some goodwill, but i agree

…through what i mentioned. audacity for now!!

i’ve never had noticeable lag in audacity besides a niche crash that got fixed. though the cloud storage thing never ever worked for me. it’s nice though and you still save locally instead of to cloud by default. plusi think the musehub thing is kinda explainable with the proprietary effects marketplace they added to musehub, and it’s not like audacity plugins were always foss anyways

i mean they were using the rather old wxwidgets

they backtracked on the privacy policy and said they had really overzealous lawyers that they somehow mistrusted lawyers doing so “out of an abundance of caution” so i’m still giving them one final chance here since that issue was resolved rather quickly (within two weeks, which is why i’m not absolving them and giving them a chance, but it’s been uneventful since 2021 so i think that strike’s gonna expire in a year)

and i don’t think the telemetry was every an issue since it was always going to be opt-in

tenacity does not have the rally useful beats and measures feature for some reason

i’ve yet to meet a single person who uses tenacity
