Jeg har faktisk tænkt mig at opdatere KDE's danske helligdagskalender. Den er overfyldt med ligegyldige prinsessers fødselsdage, og årsdagen for slag i 1800-hvidkål, der ikke siger mig en bjælde, trods at jeg er historieinteresseret.

I den forbindelse skal jeg nok få sløjfet st. bededag også. Jeg vil prøve at nå det hen over sommeren.

Btw, @jerry@infosec.pub, old.infosec.pub has been inaccessible (502 Bad Gateway) for a while (sorry for not reporting it earlier - I have a lot of things going on right now). I don't know if it's intentionally been taken offline, or if it's merely a little bug that needs fixing?

What the Flipper! I love it. :D

This looks so good!

I'm happy about the dedicated animations settings page. It would be great, however, if we could adjust the animation speed of each one individually, though.

The thing is, it's not all about horsepower. You gotta think about horse amour too.

Just to avoid catching ire for adding nuance, I want to preface everything by stating that the nazi regime was obviously a criminal scourge upon humanity, and it's perpetrators entirely irredeemable. If the nazi regime was ever falsely accused of anything, it will always just be irrelevant little details, in the face of the sheer bulk of provable horrors committed by them, their collaborators, and the weight is on the shoulders of everyone within their borders, who was of legal age and sound mind, and who didn't do anything to resist.

With that out of the way, the descendants of the Allies should stop swallowing the propaganda of their forefathers raw, and instead try to take an honest, critical look on this part of their past.

The fact of the matter is, the Nürnberg trials were a farce, more a show trial and a kangaroo court, of Victor's parading around the defeated, conducted on a legal basis that didn't exist, with many punishments (executions) being violations of the inalienable human rights that were soon after proclaimed by the victors, as an encodification of the core values that they claimed to espouse.

The trials were a mockery. Surely, it would have been possible to prosecute and punish anyone deserving of it, by the laws of the pre-1933 Weimar Republic, which, contrary to popular belief today, was not abolished in a legal manner in the first place, and so would still have jurisdiction.

Anyway, the Nürnberg trials are an awful ideal to shoot for - especially when we today finally (and fairly recently) have managed to establish a proper International Criminal Court, with authority and legal basis to dispense real justice against the perpetrators of crimes against humanity. Recognise that court, and insist on it carrying out justice. When you ignore thst court in discourse, and choose to hold up an 80 year old mock trail as the standard of justice, that just makes it all the easier for any future victor to quickly carry out their own kangaroo courts, executing based on what's politically convenient, while slowing the path towards a legal world order.

Me too! So much so that I have sworn to name my first secretary Kate.

I mean, a country with minimal military spending (or, one that doesn't have their own encrypted satellite network) can get a commodity device that gives modern connection speeds with very modest latency.

But the empowerment it obviously gives to an underpowered military is phenomenal.

Indeed, that's how it was sold. But that's not what it ever really was. What it really is, is a big fat on/off button in the hands of a private corporation, and the nation where that corporation is based. It's generally a bad idea to put the on/off button of your entire military into the hands of an outside power, as is made abundantly clear now.

This kind of technology isn't really feasible for smaller nations to establish on their own. The only countries that should ever rely on Starlink, or it's equivalent, are countries that either control it, or countries that are already vassals of countries that control it.

Not like Ukraine exactly had a lot of options at the time, of course...

So you had an egg in these trying times, did you?

Hey @jerry@infosec.pub and everyone else,

Would it be possible to have mlmym installed for Infosec.Pub?
It's a front-end that perfectly replicates the classic, old.reddit.com interface.

Besides the familiarity being nice for many, as well as it being more compact than even the compact-style themes we currently have available, I think the most important feature is that, unlike most other offerings, including the default that we're using, mlmym works perfectly without javascript enabled.

A bunch of other instances already have it installed. If you want to try it out, SDF is one such instance.

I don't know how big of a hassle it is to install, but I know I would appreciate it a lot!

 

The pact is a declaration of intent to block any Meta-governed instances that try to federate. There are some useful stats here about which, and how many instances have already committed to the pact. All types of Fediverse instances have signed, including some Lemmy instances, though it seems to be especially Mastodon instances that have signed it.

Is this something you have an opinion on, or already made a decision about, @jerry@infosec.pub? Is it something we should discuss as a community?
