Dumping of trash is not really related to the right to roam, people just dump off the side of the road independently of whether they have the right to walk around in the area. People hiking and making use of the right to roam are generally very respectful.
The right to roam works great in relatively populated areas such as the forests immediately outside of Oslo.
America is pretty much a game of twisting the ideas the nation was founded on into the opposite of what they were intended to mean. Much like American Christianity. It's a batshit country.
Adam Smith didn't want unchecked capitalism; he argued that capitalists would immediately conspire to fuck everyone over when given the chance. Somewhere else he used the invisible hand as part of a metaphor for how specialization and trade between nations causes mutual benefits. The american political thought propaganda department took these two words out of context and made Smith the hero of unregulated capitalism, because the "invisible hand" of the market will solve everything.
It's the same thing over and over. Jesus said love thy neighbour, American Christians are chanting build a wall. America was founded in direct opposition to kings, the current president is bragging about being one while hiring judges as hitmen who insist on taking the text of the constitution Very Seriously.
All of American society is a distorted lie at this point. All of it.
Of course, the founders of the original ideas were never perfect either, but the ideas were often better than the men behind them. Arguing that the idea that all men are created equal is invalidated by the fact that it was written by a slave owner is just another part of the endless distracting bullshit narrative. It makes the author a hypocrite, but it does not invalidate the idea.
In general it seems to me Firefox codebase is too big for any of the current forks to really be independent alternatives. It's all just my opinion and personal experience though. Librewolf has different priorities to me to the point where I found that usability suffered, whereas Waterfox' inclusion of Brave's adnlock engine is highly unwelcome in my book - I want nothing to do with brave. Zen Browser seemed messy to me, though I can see how it's great for others.
It seems to me Chromium, WebKit and Servo are better at separating the engine from the browser, making it possible for smaller actors to make their own browsers without forking the engine. A Firefox fork seems to me to just become a very big thing very fast, and one that requires a large dedicated team to be done right. I know other people enjoy the forks, they just never feel quite right to me.
In short, if Mozilla has turned evil and does shitty things to Gecko as a result, I don't trust that the current forks of Firefox can really provide a real alternative as they depend on upstream development of Firefox.
My unwillingness to use Chromium borders on the extreme, but this is the final straw for me. Vivaldi seems more aligned with my values than any other major player at this point, and the Firefox forks don't sit quite right with me.
I think the general idea is that you can mobilize relevant fandoms on fedi, by posting in relevant communities or microblogs with relevant hashtags. So it's an opportunity for online communities to embark on some sort of common project.
I've been wondering about wayland notifications. I still have no choice but to use WhatsApp and Outlook, and depending on notifications from those two is really the only thing keeping me stuck on (degoogled) Android.
My work has a super limiting Outlook set-up, I haven't even managed to get it working with Thunderbird. The web app is seemingly intentionally shit, so the android app is really all I've got.
If only one person in Finland watched linear television at the time, and that person watched Eurovision, the figure would be 100%. Basically it makes little to no sense in a world where people don't watch TV obsessively any more.
Even when people just don't care any more in Norway it's arguably indirectly related to Israel, since some artists (notably Ylvis) stepped out of the competition. The whole thing this year felt like a concert at a Trump rally, where only spineless and morally deprived artists are willing to play.
The biggest share of viewers watching Eurovision was recorded in Finland (93%), Sweden (86%), Norway (83%) and Denmark (79%)
Share of viewers seems like a potentially problematic statistic to base comparisons on. Is it share of everyone watching linear TV? Do people still watch linear TV in parts of Europe outside of big live events? Percentage change in absolute viewership from last year would have been a better indicator.
Anyway, I usually either go to or host Eurovision parties. This year the whole thing went by unnoticed. It seems nobody watched it, and nobody talked about it.
I love how the Stones are drawing on the punk scene here, while juxtaposing it with how they, unlike the punks, have very much been welcomed into the mainstream at this point. So respectable.
Or, to be more blunt; shut the fuck up with this anti-semitic bullshit.
If a person is active lobbying for Israel, or working as on behalf of that or any other terror state, that's legitimate points of criticism. Pointing towards someone being Jewish as some ground of suspicion in its own right is dangerous bullshit of historical proportions. There's no reason we should tolerate this shit.
ImageMagick is amazing for command line image manipulation, but the use case is of course different. It's great if you need to do the exact same operation to a bunch of pictures, such as rotating or rescaling.
What are the modes of solidarity that could be introduced in the fediverse?
Shared blocklists is one. There might also be a hint of it in the starter packs that Mastodon is now implementing.
In the threadiverse, there's an element of it in how communities are hosted all over the network. If Mastodon introduces groups that could have a similar effect.

Why did you build it from source? They frequently update it with servo shell here, and I got it running well on both Android and desktop Linux.
Enabling experimental features is important. While it's still not ready it is already much better than when I first tried it a few months ago. :)
My unwillingness to use Chromium borders on the extreme, but this is the final straw for me. Vivaldi seems more aligned with my values than any other major player at this point, and the Firefox forks don't sit quite right with me.
I can't wait for Servo to be ready.

Funny - are there any other known instances in the history of software where you have to pay extra to remove actual features?
Also, don't use Brave.

I love the illustration you're using for your slide!! Who is the artists? And is it available anywhere? :)
Edit: Never mind, the source is of course right there on the slide! By the Counterforce at https://archive.org/details/cf_mastodon :)

Working on integrating ActivityPub is not entirely unique—Bandwagon already has ActivityPub support.
Mirlo also sounds like a great project though. I'm cheering for both. :)
Super cool. I'm sad I missed them while Neil was alive, I really hope I manage to catch them on the next tour.
Edit: oh tick tickets are out for sale!!
Or Hacker, which is a surprisingly legit name.

Weird article just promoting a bunch of tweets. Arguing against Stephen Miller on Twitter is like joining the SS for the opportunity to debate nazis.
