The image features a meme with a text-based joke. At the top, there is a caption that reads: "DM: The landlord refuses to pay you for your day labor side work. Barbarian with a construction workers background rolling a Nat 20 on intimidation." Below this, there is a yellow background with black text that reads: "Whats red and bad for your teeth? A brick. Now, shut the fuck up and pay me my 2 silver pieces." The bottom part of the image shows a cartoon illustration of a person wearing a construction helmet with horns, pointing with their right hand. The person is dressed in a white shirt and black tie, and the background is a solid yellow color. The overall style of the image is simple and humorous, with a focus on the text and the character's expression.

Sometimes, Ofcom bewilders me:
Ofcom has said that for small sites, the costs of complying [with the Online Safety Act] “are likely to be negligible or in the small thousands at most”.
Small sites, especially volunteer-run community sites, generally don't have "small thousands" to spend on legal advice. And even if they did, that's far from "negligible".

Como di a Ministra de Sanidade, Mónica García:
"Que empresas pressionem aos oncólogos privados para não prescreverem determinados tratamentos não é assistência médica, é negócio.
É por isso que defendemos um sistema de saúde pública em que os médicos tomam decisões com base em evidências científicas, não em benefícios económicos. A saúde não se negocia."

Alright... let's test out this Food Rescue coordination software....
Rootable: rootable.org/
Source Code: gitlab.com/food-rescue-allianc…
FRA: boulderfoodrescue.org/food-res…
I reached out to FRA and spoke with them about joining their alliance. They send me creds and a test server to check out their web app for coordinating food rescue. They have a second meeting with my entire group at our next in-person meeting.
So far, I love their ethos and their approach.
I'm going to go test the software and reply to this post on my thoughts.

@leo - Calm your toes... I'm not lying about it and they havent claimed it. And they have like no marketing at all and dont bring in hardly any money either. Its just a mutual aid org that gives free access to their app.
I should have said "source available." Cause it is. You can look at the source. Damn. Apologies.
Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?
I am loving that things are finally moving to make European countries less dependent on US software (especially cloud providers), but I am disappointed that there isn't more of a focus on open source software.
There are several government programs within EU counties to fund the development of open source software. We need WAY more of that, coordinated at the EU level.
The best way to avoid being beholden to big tech is to fund viable open source alternatives.

Yesterday, a #Republican state lawmaker in #Minnesota named #JustinEichorn introduced a new bill he coauthored to legally define "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a "mental illness" in the state.
Later in the day, he was arrested. For what, you ask?

GOP state Sen. Justin Eichorn arrested on suspicion of soliciting sex with a 16-year old girl • Minnesota Reformer

“As a 40-year-old man, if you come … looking to have sex with someone’s child, you can expect that we are going to lock you up,” Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said in the release. “I have always advocated stiffer penalties for these types of offenses … We need our state Legislature to take this case & this type of conduct more seriously.”

…In 2021 #JustinEichorn objected to a bill requiring #Minnesota schools to teach about sexual #orientation & #gender #identity, saying “before you know it, they’ll be reading kids ‘50 Shades of Grey.’ This discussion is better had at a more mature age.”
…Eichorn also co-authored a bill to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness.

"The so-called truce was a political manoeuvre, a pause that allowed Israel to reset the clock on its war while maintaining the core elements of its siege and occupation. Israel continued its war on Gaza through an ongoing choking blockade, aerial attacks, and the killing and abuse of Palestinian prisoners. In the West Bank a parallel war rages on, with Israeli forces raiding Palestinian homes, carrying out assassinations and detaining people in the thousands."
