In the Netherlands, since 2023, there have been quite a lot of road blockades by XR (with hundreds to thousands of demonstrators) with no such penalties at all. From what I’ve read the activists in the UK were (rightfully so) determined to have their say in the court room while the judge sounded like a climate crisis denial person and got impatient. If I were a lawyer I would have made an attempt to get this judge dismissed on the case for not being objective and before they were ready for their verdict.

Article shows :

Correction 14 September 2024: An earlier version of this article put a figure on how many Kenyan workers would be allowed into Germany under the deal. The German interior ministry corrected this to state that the deal did not specify a figure.

Hell, no. Don’t put the responsibility on victims to help their bullies/abusers.

I see. In Europe things are different.
Here is an example of a school which has anti-bullying policy :
https://www.eeb3.eu/app/uploads/2022/03/B3-Anti-bullying-Policy-EN.pdf

• Our Anti-Bullying Policy is based on the principles that:
• Each individual must be treated with respect
• Bullying is never an individual problem, as it degrades the atmosphere at school.
• Bullying is a problem that can be addressed.
• All members of the school community (school staff, parents and pupils) are called upon to prevent and
  react against all forms of bullying.
• All members of the school community must have the opportunity to be listened to, respected and
  supported.

Also, it’s not always a clear cut bully/victim dynamic. My school had a loner gun-loving asocial student. He probably thought he was bullied. In reality he made people, especially the girls, super uncomfortable and he was avoided. No one really made fun of him, never physically attacked him, never pulled pranks on him, just avoided him. Not inviting his friendship is not bullying. He needed professional help.

Forcing me, for example, to talk to him and pretend to be his friend would have been bad for both of us. He needed counseling/therapy, which I was not and still am not qualified to provide, and I needed safe friends I could trust.

Okay. That is a lone wolf example, it is not about active bullying.

I consider bullying to be violent in general.
Even words can be damaging for some people.
The whole “boys don’t cry” is a tragedy in my opinion and has done a lot of emotional damage already.

And reading this today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_L._Trump#Personal_life I would not be at all
surprised if Donald Trump would benefit from long time therapy.

Indeed :(

In some open source projects there is a lot of leeching and little contributions.

In 2020 the sole developer of Invidious stepped away from development because of burn out. https://omar.yt/posts/stepping-away-from-open-source

Also in 2020 developer Raymond Hill archived the uMatrix browser add-on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24532973

I will never hand over development to whoever, I had my lesson in the past – I wouldn’t like that someone would turn the project into something I never intended it to become (monetization, feature bloat, etc.). At most I would archive the project and whoever is free to fork under a new name. For now I resisted doing this, so people will have to be patient for new stable release.

What would actually help is that people help to completely investigate existing issues instead of keep asking me to add yet more features. Turns out people willing to step in the code to investigate and pinpoint exactly where is an issue (or that there is no issue) is incredibly rare.

Give the number one at Distrowatch https://mxlinux.org a try or Puppy Linux https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/ or https://spirallinux.github.io/ The first and the third are Debian based.

Depends a bit on what you’d like to achieve. I’d say play around with YunoHost on a VPS to get started and learn more. With YunoHost you will get XMPP and email server after installation, and then you can start installing other YunoHost apps.

Looks like a nice project if you manage to run your own gateway. People have been posting about this one on Lemmy before https://lemmy.ml/comment/376398 and maybe the software code author is on Lemmy as well : https://lemmy.ml/post/2045121

Great story Ray. Thumbs up.

Maybe this can help after installing pi-hole : https://www.pivpn.io

Just a few things come to mind :

• Lobbyists stopping sugar taxes.
• Big Pharma and health industry making tons of money.
• European Union being very tolerant about pesticides.
• Supermarkets putting candy close the counters where parents with kids are in queue.
• Lots of people spending most of their time on mobile phones only exercising the muscles of their eyes.

I am happy that an organisation like Foodwatch exists : https://www.foodwatch.org/en/foodwatch-international

• UPS, good idea.

• backups too.

+1 :)

Maybe you were using a deprecated search engine after all ? ;-) I used one of my favorite SearXNG instances and this was in the top 5 hits, a howto with happy comments from 2022. I assume the content is still legit.

This one in your post text :

Currently you can only try it by building it yourself, instruction here. https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/src/branch/master/docs/building.md.

There’s https://borgwarehouse.com/ Haven’t found the time to test it but looks interesting.

Thanks for maintaining the AUR package :) Guess this could be ticked as resolved now ? https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/issues/67

Hi OP, thanks for this. Looks interesting. Can you fix the web link in your post ? There is a dot at the very end.
