Breaking: the utter shitbag Aleksanteri #Kivimäki, who has shown no remorse for the theft and publication of tens of thousands of psychotherapy records in the #Vastaamo case has been set free today despite the obvious flight risk for the continuing court case. https://yle.fi/a/74-20182048FYI @briankrebs

A whole article that fails to explain what either UNCF or HBCU is, but I'm gonna assume neither has anything to do with what I first thought: UNGA@Nonilex

If Mike's pioneering work would be accepted by other developers (particularly Eugen), fedi would be in a much, much better shape. Alas... @feralthoughts

Social networks, the communities, are important. They turned to social media because the companies building SNS realized that by becoming media instead of networks they can tap into advertising revenue streams. We'd be better off if social media died and social networks returned. @futurebird

That control over agenda is pretty much what media means, TBH. That's why I don't love the word media when combined with federation. We shouldn't try to replicate the media bit, rather than focus on the value of networks. @futurebird

It's still the case that while in theory a BigTech LLM could be listening, the other signals like shared time on the same Wifi or cell tower with other persons are a far easier signal to drive ad selection. Plus, confirmation bias remains A Thing. @futurebird

I've read several analysis of the 28 point "peace plan" and so far, this one has been best. But it still leaves certain key points unsaid. Will try to add to it. https://agora.echelon.pl/objects/9b10ef26-92d4-4f01-a258-551fb1c596bd

First of all, any agreement has the following:1. Parties2. Objective3. TermsThis one does not. It refers to many stakeholders, but is extremely vague on who the parties are. It does not state the objective. And it is a mishmash of conflicting terms.

It starts by making a passive-mode statement that Ukraine's sovereignty "will be confirmed". By whom? For what purpose? Ukraine is sovereign.It then continues to make several demands on matters a sovereign nation is, well, sovereign about.

The next point is, by simple language structure, clearly two Russian sentences directly translated to English. It also claims a "full and comprehensive" agreement involving 30 nations in two sentences.

It continously mixes US role as sometimes party, sometimes mediator, sometimes guarantor, other times the only named party who receives "profits" of reconstruction. This is precisely why agreements clearly define their parties and objectives.

It makes claims on behalf of others, starting obviously with Ukraine, but also NATO and the European Union. This is why it's not even a plan - barely a concept of a plan. A bad concept, at that. These kinds of things aren't simple to negotiate.

Enough has been said about the territorial points and the limitation of Ukraine's army size by others. I'll just remind that no such demands are made regarding Russia. Who wrote this, you think?

Point 22 is curious enough to copy verbatim:After future territorial arrangements are agreed, both Russia and Ukraine commit not to alter them by force. Any security guarantees will not apply if this obligation is violated.That there makes the whole "plan" null and void the moment Russia violates the border again.

The terms declare full amnesty of all war crimes, nullifying the Geneva Conventions as well as the founding principles of the United Nations. It's no surprise both Putin and Trump would think this is just fine and dandy, but that just does not fly in face of international justice.

The whole thing is also proposed to be both "legally binding" (under what law?) and monitored by a "Peace Council chaired by President Donald J. Trump."And what about when the esteemed Orange One no longer is in a position to chair anything?

There are a number of items in the whole thing which are not for either Ukraine nor Russia to agree on. Trump's pressure is again on Ukraine to agree to this, with none applied to Russia. But fortunately, there's enough there, especially in the details of the territorial concessions and the education and society parts that it will be again Putin who will not agree.

- GPLv2 not covering the hardware may have been an oversight- GPLv3 specifically addressing that indicates the intent to cover that- Linux continuing to use GPLv2 is not an oversight but an explicit signal that the kernel developers do not intend to make claims over hardware access@ghul @pkal

Please stop thinking of fedi as "social media". This is not media. There is no editor making decisions on your behalf. This is a network. You're connected to only those people you connect to.
