The fact that the ccc uses matrix as their official chat “app” doesn’t imply that it is inherently insecure I would say.

I have no experience with this topic, so hopefully I don’t step on your toes.

It does read like your mother is trying in her own way. Maybe there is a chance to talk to her alone without your father and explain a couple of basics to her? She probably has no idea what it really means and this is her way of trying, even if it is hurting you. Not saying it is OK, just that it probably needs time and good talks to process and accept it.

Maybe ask your grandma for her opinion on how to deal with her.

Anyway, I wish you all the best!

My advice is try using existing documents with Libre office. You can install it on windows as well.

I use Linux for over twenty years now and installed windows on a vm last week to Wirte my resume. Libre office is fine, you run into problems when opening and editing existing ms office documents. At least that is my experience.

But give Libre office on windows a shot, see if you like it.

The reason this is allowed is because Arizona, like many other states, doesn’t require religious leaders to report instances of abuse to law enforcement if they learned about it through an act of confession. That’s not true everywhere. If a public school teacher learned that a student was being abused at home, that teacher has a legal obligation to tell the student’s counselor (who can take appropriate action). But not pastors. Not bishops. Not priests. If someone tells them a secret, believing it will remain a secret, then the law allows those leaders to keep it a secret, even if people are getting hurt.

I guess that’s enough internet for today…

At least in feddit (main German instance) there were a lot of posts offering up financial support, but it was declined because it was not needed.

I think especially the smaller communities wouldn’t have a problem coming with funds for hosting. Donations for lemmy developers have also increased significantly since the main exodus.

I get your scepticism, but I think the lemmy community for the most part wants this thing to “succeed” and is willing to chip in a reasonable amount.

They even have a dedicated piece of hardware for it.

Look into vlan.

Basically allows you to have different subnets rubbing on a physical network card.

It is possible what you want to do and not that complicated.

Hmm, maybe. Depends on the infrastructure they put up. If there is a separate domain for the telemetry, then you can block it. Still no guarantee that it still works though.

The app will need internet access to login though. That really is a cat and mouse game that is not worth your time I’d say.

I regularly comments from users who were not aware or the financial situation. Maybe “we” need to promote it a bit more. But it is 332 per week, not month. At the beginning of the last migration it stood at 40 something, so we at least got some traction.

Thanks for the update and thanks for the work guys, I really appreciate it

Yup, a really shitty article and nothing of essence in it.

Confirmed it seems

This year, the new android version will be released after/together with the pixel8 launch event.

In the case of Ames, yes there was.

From Wikipedia

The CIA also realized that, despite Ames’ annual salary being $60,000, he could afford:

A $540,000 house in Arlington, Virginia, paid for in cash

A $50,000 Jaguar luxury car

Home remodeling and redecoration costs of $99,000

Monthly phone bills exceeding $6,000, mostly calls by Ames’ wife to her family in Colombia

Premium credit cards, on which the minimum monthly payment exceeded his monthly salary

In March 1993, the CIA and FBI began an intensive investigation of Ames that included electronic surveillance, combing through his trash and the installation of a monitor in his car to track his movements. From November 1993 until his arrest, Ames was kept under virtually constant physical surveillance. When, in early 1994, he was scheduled to attend a conference in Moscow, the FBI believed it could wait no longer, and he and his wife were arrested on February 21

It is not our favorite energy source anymore, the plan is to get rid of themynot build more of them. Yes, there was an increase last year, but that was related to the gas situation with russia.

Northrine Westphalia just dumped the minium required distance for wind turbines, so we will see a huge boost of them (hopefully)

Drought is not as much a problem in Germany as it is on the southern states like France and Spain, but groundwater is going down. Everywhere. And like OP said, France had to limit the output of their reactors due to water shortages.

Wind and solar has to be the main focus as long as nuclear power is reliant on clean and sufficient water.

Of you want to know more, there is a separate wiki article just related to the European drought of 2023.

Not OP, but here are my 2 cents. You can’t really go wrong with that degree imho. Even if you only land an entry level job at the beginning, you can quickly advance from there. You just to have keep learning.

If you haven’t done so already, get a raspberry pi, install docker, get used to how it works. Destroy everything, start over. Get another pi, learn kubernetes.

You can stand out and succeed if you can learn and adapt to new technologies. The system doesn’t matter, it’s how you approach it.

Beat of luck to you!

The judge said he hoped the punishment would deter those dissatisfied by future election outcomes, showing that there is an “unambiguous and serious line” that cannot be crossed when contacting public officials.

I think this is a horrible argument. The dude should be punished under the law for the crimes HE has committed. Other people shouldn’t play a role in the judgement, as reprehensible as his actions were.

Other than that, very good read, but as always, it won’t reach the people that really should read it.

Does anybody know whether they’re planning to use all these convictions against trump supporters in the trial against trump? I bet there are a lot of testimonies stating that they wouldn’t have done xyz if Trump hadn’t riled them up.

And here is hardware that works with home assistant.

Howell’s three-page ruling entered a default judgment finding Giuliani liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil conspiracy and punitive damage claims. The court ordered Giuliani to cover Freeman’s and Moss’ attorney fees associated with discovery in the case. Giuliani will also have to pay punitive damages; that amount will be determined by a jury trial. Howell instructed the jury to consider that Giuliani was “intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about his financial assets for the purpose of artificially deflating his net worth” in determining punitive damages. 

I guess this will cost him a pretty penny then.

Howell denied Giuliani’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit in October 2022, and Giuliani had recently conceded in stipulations to the court that he had made false statements about the two women, though he said the concessions were intended to move the case forward and maintained his statements were constitutionally protected.  “While Giuliani does not admit to Plaintiffs’ allegations, he — for purposes of this litigation only — does not contest the factual allegations,” he said in a July 26 filing. 

You really can’t make even a tiny bit of this shit up. Unbefuckinglievable. He is going to die in jail, broke like a church mouse, isn’t he?

Sorry for the late reply. I just wanted to day Thanks for posting this. I’ll have a look in the next couple of days and see what I can achieve.

Have a good weekend!
