This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:
openpetition.de/petition/onlin…
This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.
If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

It seems counterintuitive, but apparently the rule is that it's much easier to get rid of a Prince than it is a Lord.
Why does British etiquette have to be so complicated?

"How about I kidnap the dragon," the knight said, "and you come to rescue them?"
"It's still the same story," the princess said.
"No! We're all subverting-"
"I am tired of being in stories," the dragon said.
"What?"
"If you're not in a story, what even are you?"
"I'd like to find out."
Dunque l'idea del Governo sarebbe quella di uno scudo penale per le forze dell'ordine, in modo che un agente non possa essere indagato per atti commessi per legittima difesa.
E come si stabilisce la "legittima difesa"? Servirebbero delle indagini, comunque le si voglia chiamare.
Se invece lo scudo sarà tale da ostacolare le indagini, finirà per aumentare il pericolo per gli agenti stessi, esposti alle conseguenze del comportamento di colleghi che si sentissero al di sopra della legge.

We added our Vivaldi Social server to the Fediverse on November 15th 2022. We are still, I believe, the only browser company that is fully behind the Fediverse. It is something we are very proud of! The Fediverse is the natural alternative to Big Tech social media, just like, IMHO, Vivaldi is the natural alternative to Big Tech browsers.

#Ukrainian FM Sybiha harshly criticized FIFA president Infantino after he said he supported lifting ban on Russia’s participation in international #football
“679 Ukrainian girls & boys will never play football — Russia killed them,” Sybiha said
It keeps killing more while moral degenerates suggest lifting bans, despite Russia’s failure to end its war
Future generations will view this as a shame reminiscent of the 1936 Olympics

It was really almost a religious experience to be so close to such massive, ancient trees.
There's a disease that kills these (kauri dieback disease) and they had boot cleaning/sanitizing before you could walk on the paths up to the huge trees. We talked to a park employee who told us they use whale ingredients to treat sick trees, that comes from beached whales. He said it's "little brother coming to give medicine to big brother." Beautiful.

in reply to ProjectFearlessness • • •Here in the U.K. the Epstein Files revelations about Peter Mandelson has got everyone outraged and for once united in their condemnation.
But we're still British so there's all the classic understatement and things that are left unsaid but completely understood. I will give a summary translation for the international audience.
If Peter Mandelson isn't out of the House of Lords by the end of the day then the British government is no better than the American government, and there's no way anyone could ever stand for that.
He's got to go.

in reply to ProjectFearlessness • • •I feel for the political strategists in Westminster trying to game the Mandelson scandal.
I'm imagining rooms full of analysts sat at computers with smoke blowing out of them and McSweeney screaming at them to run it through the programme again.

in reply to ProjectFearlessness • • •Here in the U.K. after being exposed in the Epstein Files, Lord Peter Mandelson has resigned from the House of Lords, he's been referred to the police for criminal investigation, and the government are drawing up emergency legislation to strip him of his title.
And most people, including me, are saying 'Well, it's a start, I suppose...'
Anyway, enough about us. How's it going in America?
