The cat sitter told Knight that Ted had just walked through the catflap. “I didn’t believe it at first,” Knight said. “I had to get her to FaceTime me live so that I could see that Ted was actually alive.”

Knight soon realised she had paid £130 to cremate someone else’s cat. When she later went to collect the ashes, she saw the urn had been labelled “Not Dead Ted”.

For US citizens there is another petition which you can sign : https://www.oxfamamerica.org/take-action/action-alert-tax-the-rich/

American billionaires are 33% richer than they were at the start of the pandemic, all while inequality has worsened and inflation has soared. Billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos pay a “true tax rate" of just 3% or less while working people around the globe pay far more.

Enough is enough. It’s time for the ultra-rich to pay their fair share of taxes.

Just a modest tax of up to 5 percent on the world’s richest individuals could bring in $1.7 trillion in a year, enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty.

Sign your name and demand that President Biden, Congress, and world leaders address the inequality crisis globally and here at home by making multi-millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share of taxes.

The French have been really great with this petition, showing the way.

The petition is about getting enough signatures for the EU. France and Germany have already enough votes.
If the petition succeeds this could bring in a lot of money that is otherwise not used for the public.
Please sign for our climate and our future.

Why the down votes ?

The deep-pocketed tech industry of Silicon Valley has historically voted for Democrats. But in the last month, a cadre of tech executives has risen up for Donald Trump, both on the grounds that he will be friendlier to the industry and that President Joe Biden was unfit to serve a second term.

Very sad story but let me take this opportunity to comment on part of the article quoted below. Stop using Twitter. After Musk bought it (and forced the silly name of X) moderation of Twitter is severely broken. It would be good if people move away from Twitter and use other platforms. Especially now that Musk is endorsing Donald Trump and sharing fake videos.

From the https://rogerhallam.com/5-years-in-prison story :

The judge began the next morning by bizarrely reading out my Twitter feed, which alerted my followers to the fact I wasn’t allowed to give my whole defence and called for support for a presence outside the court. But then he moved on to gleefully recounting some of the various trolls – why this was any part of a serious trial, no one could fathom. I was ordered to take them down by lunchtime or I’d be in contempt of court. This is a British judge in 2024.

Saw your post earlier today and thought it was interesting. Let me just share these thoughts for the sake of sharing thoughts like in a brain storm session :

• Wanting a sustainable world, solidarity, and live in peace is normal.
• The more climate crisis denial grows within conservative circles, the more some behavior of opposing people can be called radical by the former conservatives instead of called what it really is : natural.
• The words left and right in politics were maybe useful many years ago but it has lost its true meaning. Perhaps better words are conservative versus progressive.

Damn pretty and fun.

Hell, no. Don’t put the responsibility on victims to help their bullies/abusers.

I see. In Europe things are different.
Here is an example of a school which has anti-bullying policy :
https://www.eeb3.eu/app/uploads/2022/03/B3-Anti-bullying-Policy-EN.pdf

• Our Anti-Bullying Policy is based on the principles that:
• Each individual must be treated with respect
• Bullying is never an individual problem, as it degrades the atmosphere at school.
• Bullying is a problem that can be addressed.
• All members of the school community (school staff, parents and pupils) are called upon to prevent and
  react against all forms of bullying.
• All members of the school community must have the opportunity to be listened to, respected and
  supported.

Also, it’s not always a clear cut bully/victim dynamic. My school had a loner gun-loving asocial student. He probably thought he was bullied. In reality he made people, especially the girls, super uncomfortable and he was avoided. No one really made fun of him, never physically attacked him, never pulled pranks on him, just avoided him. Not inviting his friendship is not bullying. He needed professional help.

Forcing me, for example, to talk to him and pretend to be his friend would have been bad for both of us. He needed counseling/therapy, which I was not and still am not qualified to provide, and I needed safe friends I could trust.

Okay. That is a lone wolf example, it is not about active bullying.

I consider bullying to be violent in general.
Even words can be damaging for some people.
The whole “boys don’t cry” is a tragedy in my opinion and has done a lot of emotional damage already.

And reading this today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_L._Trump#Personal_life I would not be at all
surprised if Donald Trump would benefit from long time therapy.

You heard me. They’re getting fooled into helping the oil industry and all enemies of nature. They’re making the randoms that form the majority hate climate activists, and I think it’s deliberate.

How much positive have you heard from people outside of activism about their actions? How much criticism have you heard from withing activist circles?

How much positive have you heard from politicians about the huge climate report that scientists worked on for almost 10 years, delivered March last year ?

In these difficult times this is awful and depressing news :(

Probably Right-to-left script like with Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.

In some open source projects there is a lot of leeching and little contributions.

In 2020 the sole developer of Invidious stepped away from development because of burn out. https://omar.yt/posts/stepping-away-from-open-source

Also in 2020 developer Raymond Hill archived the uMatrix browser add-on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24532973

I will never hand over development to whoever, I had my lesson in the past – I wouldn’t like that someone would turn the project into something I never intended it to become (monetization, feature bloat, etc.). At most I would archive the project and whoever is free to fork under a new name. For now I resisted doing this, so people will have to be patient for new stable release.

What would actually help is that people help to completely investigate existing issues instead of keep asking me to add yet more features. Turns out people willing to step in the code to investigate and pinpoint exactly where is an issue (or that there is no issue) is incredibly rare.

Is this where the source code is supposed to be ? https://github.com/ProtonMail/inbox-desktop

My guess is that a 2015 Macbook Air is probably not going to run a MacOS version that is still supported by Apple. That would be yet another reason to simply install Linux. Before you do so you can go for https://rescuezilla.com/ and do disk cloning to an image that you save to some storage like a USB disk. If you do the same after your installing and tweaked Linux installation, you can have the best of both worlds whenever you need it.
