Yeah, that’s the problem. Terrorism laws were a kneejerk reaction to 9/11 and 7/7 that handed sweeping undemocratic powers to ministers without adequate checks that liberal-minded people have consistently been saying would lead to exactly this kind of obvious abuse. The courts have little choice but to accept it - the time to stop it was when the law was passed, but no party (except maybe the Lib Dems) would overturn it because liberalism is dead and not a vote winner.

Did you complain when the Daily Hate Mail described judges as “enemies of the people”?

[sad voice] I knooowww

I said Threadiverse because as far as I know none of the threads I looked at came from anywhere except Lemmy and Piefed.

No it won’t. There’s a sensor that detects covering the LED.

This is the 3rd or 4th comment about this (across the Threadiverse) - why don’t people ask why this costs $60 - and then go and find out? It’s right fucking there in the article (before the paywall, even).

Your story checks out

That’s quite a lot of clothes for a streaker

Ofcom: 😴🥱😴😌

When asked by Variety for comment about its use of music by Taylor Swift in a November 2025 video, the White House replied: “We made this video because we knew fake news media brands like Variety would breathlessly amplify them. Congrats, you got played.”

It says it in the article.

I see.

I think in the end the consequences of a relicensing/rug pull are similar to the consequences of the team around a product just ceasing to develop it: the code that was contributed before the decision is available for someone else to take on, but the likelihood is that, with that core source of effort and motivation gone, the project, or at least its open source part, will die. So I guess I don’t really care.

I also don’t see CLAs as particularly indicative of that happening either, since they’re very useful to be able to change between open source licenses. If you don’t have one, that is essentially impossible, which can be a very serious situation. The biggest project I work on relicensed (to AGPL, because it’s a webapp and so the GPL we had it on before essentially had no bite) and it was only possible because we were still in touch with virtually every contributor and know them personally. If the project were even a little bigger we’d have been stuck. (We still don’t have a CLA…)

Looks like someone got ragebaited!

Yech. Seems like this should be a feature of the OS.

What are you worried about with the CLA? You can make contributions without signing the CLA (in a fork), so it really doesn’t give them much.

What? The CLA clause is irrelevant. You can make modifications to Fluxer or any AGPL project without signing a CLA (just make them in a fork that adheres to the AGPL).

Lol that’s about 15 years coming. Audacity still seems to have a 50% chance of fucking up sound completely until a reboot/restart of pipewire

HID support? We browsing the web with a game controller now?

We are no more at threat of war now than we have at any point since the end of WW2.

So, at minimum at a fairly high threat level since in that time the UK has been involved in many wars.

It is more accurate to think of us already being at a low-level conflict with Russia: they’re carrying out assassinations in the UK, cyberwarfare, disinformation, electoral interference, that kind of thing. Outside the UK’s borders they’re damaging undersea infrastructure, jamming GPS and shutting down airports with drones. It’s quite plausible that Russia will escalate this low-level warfare, especially if the war in Ukraine continues to go badly, to try and dissuade Western assistance to Ukraine. That escalation carries with it the real risk of a major conflict for the UK.

Conversely, if Russia emerges victorious from the war in Ukraine, they will be stronger, emboldened, and unlikely to stop there.

So playing down those risks is sticking your head in the sand. And all of this is happening at a time when we can no longer rely on the ally that provides irreplaceable intelligence, logistics and air defence.

Trump: >:(
