that was a shocking article, I had no idea that went on in Brazil.
A Brazilian court’s decision to acquit a 35-year-old man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl—arguing that they were “two young lovers” united by “a consensual emotional bond”
Some 34,000 Brazilian girls under the age of 14, mostly poor and Black, declared themselves as “married” in the census
If you’re a firefox person, there’s an add-on called Peertube Companion which will convert peertube links to use your instance. So for me, that link takes me to peertube.wtf rather than peertube.gravitywell.xyz
Apparently it will also redirect you to your peertube instance when you watch a video on YouTube that also exists on peertube (I’ve never had this happen though! Not sure how it does the comparision - hashes I suppose?)
Ah ok that’s one I’d heard (the other being Day-see-ah like the other guy said). Glad to have it cleared up, thanks!
I didn’t even know Dacia was its own brand before Renault got it!
I’d love to know how you pronounce it though - specifically the ‘C’. Do you (i.e. Romanians) pronounce it like an S or a K or something else??
Yep. The rest of us switched to metric a long time ago.
Not sure if this is a joke, but if not this software is to help protect *against* ddos attacks, not for running them 😂
Not without the correct licence, no
It seems to only have an Arduino as processor, so presumably the former i.e. you need a PC to plug this into. It seems to have highly simplified tracking compared to something like a Quest - a single Inertial Measurement Unit. All enough for sim racing which is this guy’s jam, but I wonder how well the tracking stays calibrated.
This is what I’m doing. I recently switched from the email service offered by my web host to Zoho Mail. I pay them $12 a year for a couple of gigabytes storage (which isn’t a whole lot but enough for me and I’m cheap).
As someone else says elsewhere, as well as changing the MX records to the new server, you need to add SPF, DKIM and D-MARC records in your DNS to ensure mail you send is accepted by the receiver’s mail server.
Won’t it get hot as hell in there, all that wood and foam and rubber?
I stopped paying for YouTube when they started cracking down on free users, and stopped using them pretty much entirely. It was hard though - even though I have Netflix, I always found it easier to find interesting and informative things to watch on YouTube than Netflix. I’d watch YouTube several times a day, whereas with Netflix I usually spend about 10 or 15 minutes scrolling through their god-awful UI before closing it and finding something else to do.
Just had a look - $6 a month, based in NYC. Definitely better than giving YouTube money, for now at least. They say they have a 50/50 profit sharing model with creators - profit presumably is after salaries (including bonuses?) have been paid, so it’s not clear exactly how much of your subscription does in fact go to the video creators. Still, a better option than YouTube, if only to support competition.
Community service is a classic punishment which I think makes good sense for nonviolent crime.
It should be a good option, but it’s more difficult to run effectively than it might appear. The ideal would be for it not to be purely punitive, but to offer in itself some level of rehabilitation. For instance, a bike thief might be sentenced to helping out in a community bike workshop, or someone who committed low-level fraud might be required to help poor people manage their finances.
At the moment the reality is quite different I think, and people end up being sentenced to pointless busywork. I know someone who was given a community sentence for fighting and he described it as a bit of a joke. Every Saturday, they were supposed to clean up litter from grass verges, but the main issue was no one wanted to be there, not least the supervisor. So they’d generally just mess around for a bit and go home early.

Ah got ya, it’s a site to show each EU government’s position on this. Only three EU governments are opposing right now! Gotta get them numbers up!
You can choose any font you have locally available by setting the “reader.font_type” to the font name in about:config
You can also set “reader.content_width” to values beyond the 9 allowed by the UI to have the text take up even more of your screen width. Setting it to 12 is just about perfect for me.
These values will be lost if you update the font style or the width via the Reader “Text and Layout” menu though. For fonts, you might be able to avoid that by putting fonts you want to be able to select from in the “reader.font_type.values” list but I haven’t tried that.
Firefox reader mode is great. I started using it just to avoid having to tell sites to piss off with their cookies, and to dodge some paywalls, but now I use it on a lot of sites even when there aren’t any dialogs to dodge.
I actually prefer having articles take up my screen width rather than be all squashed into a skinny little column in the centre. It’s also nice when trying to read someone’s blog with questionable text colour.
You must thank the Lord every day that you weren’t wiped up with a Kleenex and flushed down the toilet with your other brethren who didn’t manage to make it inside! The Lord’s grace is truly magnificent!
Reports also have emerged of attempts to stop the spread of chikungunya with even larger mosquitoes to eat the insects carrying the virus.
And if those larger mosquitos get out of control, there’s a simple and obvious fix…
I don’t think you can have spreadsheets with multiple “sub sheets” (can’t think of an unambiguous name for them - basically the equivalent of browser tabs)
Pretty sure there’s no way to have graphical charts either.
