In the 79 years before turning 97, she could have not voted for policymakers who push car dependency and urban sprawl.

What will this mean for Lemmy instances? XMPP servers? Email servers?

What if a 15 year old runs their own personal Mastodon server? LoL this is gonna be yet another entertaining Australian government shitshow.

Munin feels a little old and crusty, but just works. Over 20 years old now.

XMPP lacks good clients and suffers from fragmentation of protocol standards implementation

  • For Android: Conversations is excellent, also on F-Droid if you don’t want to use the Google store.
  • For iOS/MacOS: Siskin or iOS/MacOS: Monal.
  • For Linux/Windows: Gajim or Linux: Dino.

“Protocol fragmentation” is not a valid complaint about XMPP – it’s like complaining that ActivityPub is fragmented; but that’s not a problem: you use the services (Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, etc) built with it which suit your needs, mostly interacting with that sector of the federation (eg, Lemmy+Kbin), but get a little interoperability with other sectors as a bonus (eg, Lemmy+Mastodon).

When human shields are used, the attacking party must take into account the risk to civilians. 191 Indiscriminate or disproportionate harm to civilians remains unlawful and the civilian population can never be targeted.

So, from this I understand that every time Israel makes an accusation of “human shields”, it’s a direct admission of guilt of war crimes in that they are knowingly targeting civilians.

Don’t do it. Alkalines are all shit now and will leak all over your electronics.

Get some decent NiMH.

Reader mode exposes a much better headline:
