Ghislaine Handed DOJ 100 Names in Shameless Pardon Quid Pro Quo
"Her lawyer said that the sit-downs this week were Maxwell’s first opportunity to answer questions about what happened."
I'm pretty sure that she was questioned by investigators during multiple investigations into Epstein over the years, including her own trial that sent her to jail.

It's pretty normal for new software to have a fast pace of new feature development, and for software that has established itself somewhat to have slower pace. Especially as fast pace means accumulating tech debt that you have to work on later

People need to understand that water usage, plastic pollution, Co2 generation and power usage are all different things and just saying "tHe EnViRoNmEnT" isn't helpful. Some of these things matter more than others.

Gespräche laufen: Dieser chinesische Konzern will MediaMarkt und Saturn übernehmen
In einer freien Marktwirtschaft natürlich möglich. Ich halte aber relativ wenig davon, große europäische Konzerne an China- oder US-Konglomerate zu verkaufen.

I was confused there for a second but apparently the BBC has introduced a paywall only for US users. Site is still completely free to read anywhere else, which is why I didnt even realize that there is a paywall.
Which of course means that US Americans could simply VPN their way around it..

Come on, either you don't interact with TERFs a lot or you're just being dumb right now. She was clearly radicalized by TERFs over the last decade, parroting TERF takes and viewpoints years after they have originally been made. Calling her the source is giving her way more credit that she deserves

The Problem with the Fediverse
The developers of Fedi software have different philosophies. Some developers are just not interested in implementing and supporting all kinds of AP actors, kinds of media, ways of attaching media etc. Because they want their software to focus on a certain thing.
Others want to implement everything and interconnect with every platform.

Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operating
In Vienna, over the last decade the authorities have removed hundreds of parking spots like this where cars repeatedly blocked the tram. Now, the number of times it happens is very low, since the spots that remain should be very easy to Park in a way that doesnt block

My kids named one of our hens "Chloe", and I are think that's an inappropriate name for a bird.
Well, are you gonna take that joy away from your kids? They got to name a bird and now you want to tell them "nah I as your father decide that this is a dumb name"?

Keep in mind that TSA searching peoples' phones was already policy under the last few administrations. Which is part of why I wasnt interested in traveling there even before the lunatic.

Both McLarens disqualified from Las Vegas Grand Prix
Statement by McLaren team principal Andrea Stella:
“During the race, both cars experienced unexpected, high levels of porpoising not seen in the Practice sessions, which led to excessive contact with the ground.
We are investigating the reasons for this behaviour of the car, including the effect of accidental damage sustained by both cars, which we found after the race, and that led to an increase of movement of the floor.
We apologise to Lando and Oscar for the loss of points today, at a critical time in their Championship campaigns after two strong performances from them all weekend. As a team, we also apologise to our partners and fans, whose support means so much.”

Well, it is developed by a sole developer who also solo-develops Pixelfed. The guy spreads himself way too thin, so development moves slow.
