We have published an open letter to Google opposing the Android Developer Verification Program with over 30 organizations as signatories: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/

First page of the open letter opposing the Google Android Developer Verification program.

Spotted around .

A red utility box with a sticker warning about ring camera surveillance.

The sticker says:

Did you know?
Your
Ring
camera
is selling
your
neighbors
to ICE.
Smash it now.

@reverseics hmm that seems to be 6 months off

@felix For BeOS this was one of it's famous aspects even back in the 90's on a real Pentium!

@juliank Life is like chocolate. Or something like that.

In 2024, France counted 13,335 millionaires who paid ZERO income tax.

This is yet another example of why we need a UN Tax Convention to fix global tax rules and finally make the super-rich pay their fair share, so there is real money for public services, climate action, and a green transition, instead of more loopholes for extreme wealth.

Liza Simpson meme with a presentation slide saying: "In 2024, 13,335 millionaires paid no income tax in France. There is enough money for hospitals, schools, and climate solutions, it is just in the wrong hands."

@littlealex *cough*

@ariadne Yep, I don't know the full history either, but from the context I got in this thread, things sound fixable so I hope it goes into that direction from the Debian side so that it stops causing problems upstream and for users of the package in Debian.

@ariadne That post now walks into conspiracy theory territory there. I know Andrej personally and I think you're assuming a lot more bad faith here than he deserves.

@alienghic @bri7 LFP batteries are quite safe. As in, you can throw them into a fire and they still won't explode, or you can take a pick-axe to them and they won't catch fire. They also last 3-4 times as long.

@Edwin085 A gen z would figure this out in an instant, you just press one of the buttons on the opposite side where the Yes label is missing due to an AI glitch.

@256 Certainly one of the best 4 player PC games of the time

@foone Easy. You get to watch TV when she's finished.

Me too! Hoping to make it out there again some time.

I wish I wasn't too dumb to learn how to use vim properly.

@ComPod @bagder Ah those could be useful for people with rage anxiety

@bugaevc For one, there's been a major shift in priority. 40 years ago the focus was on usability and getting more computer users on board. Now the priority is to make you click on ads.

@bagder Beware of rage limiters, they appear to work well on initial outset, but results in rage build-up, which always ends in tears.

@revk They set it up so well for a reboot, and it's a show that deserves one!
