Monsieur Retailleau,

La loi définit l'injure raciste comme « toute expression outrageante, terme de mépris ou invective adressé à une personne ou à un groupe à raison de leur origine ou de leur appartenance à une ethnie, une nation, une prétendue race ou une religion déterminée ».

Quand vous dites que « le vote musulman » est antisémite, vous rentrez exactement dans cette définition en outrangeant un groupe en raison de sa religion.

Retirez vos propos. Et partez avec.

I'm sad to see so many posts mocking the use of #ContentWarnings. They're rarely used, but somehow people act like it's a major violation of their Freedums.

Have you had real, deep, lasts-for-years trauma? If you have, you might understand why a heads-up can be a welcome relief from the onslaught of triggers streaming from the media.

Flashbacks are not something you should wish on anyone, even if you Haven't had trauma yourself. Content Warnings help prevent them, period. Don't be a jag.

@VaylLarkinPoet@disabled.social But there's real societal value in learning to cope with one's triggers. I am triggered by things every day both on the fediverse and in real life and it is a valuable life skill to learn how to cope. I can't go around to people around me and ask them to change their behavior simply because I find something they do triggering.
We have no choice over what happens to us in life sometimes.But we have the choice in how we choose to respond. I'm a firm believer in that. That being said, if I know that something I'm doing bothers somebody I'm not going to be a dick and continue to do it if I don't need to.

Unless you go in with a byte editor, you can't change Mercurial's commit history. I didn't say "fabricate", I said "change".

You can, as you say, configure your user name and email to be "Linus Torvalds" and change your computer date and fabricate whatever history you want. You might also be able to go in with a byte editor and fiddle bits and change history that way; Mercurial provides no blockchain-like cryptographic guarantees. But, unlike git, rewriting history is not supported by Mercurial; history is immutable. Rebase doesn't change history; the commit index only ever increments. Squash and rebasing create new commits, and there history of what happened is always in the repo.

There's a distinct and clear difference between Mercurial's immutable history and git's de jour history rewriting, which can literally - with the git command - change published history to make a commit made 3 years ago look like it was committed by someone else. The git workflow used by the kernel team, and the b4 tool, use this history rewriting in the standard workflow.

If you wanted to do the same thing with Mercurial, you'd have to get a byte editor and start hacking the on-disk format, and it would have to be entirely outside of any Mercurial tooling. And there is some sequential hash verification you'd have to work around, even if it's not cryptographically auditable.

The point is, with Mercurial it would be hard and the result would be utterly incompatible with any other clone of the repo: there would be no way to propagate your changes to other clones. With git, this is a standard workflow.

Looks like Mercurial can change the history just fine using the hg command. You just need to enable it first.

Git can also be configured to disable history rewrites.

So the difference between git and hg really just comes down to the defaults.

🧵Gjovik v Apple update: I filed a Motion for Reconsideration in 9th Circuit today. The court dismissed my appeal claiming "no jurisdiction" while ignoring 28 USC §1292(a)(1) - which gives mandatory jurisdiction over injunctive relief denials (my Gobbler claims!). It's not discretionary.

But here's the kicker: While I was fighting this procedural maze, Congress was busy criminalizing Apple's exact conduct through the TAKE IT DOWN Act & AI Whistleblower Protection Act. 📊⚖️

That's not case mgmt!

So, I decided to install Linux on that thing. Since Fedora 41was just released, I decided to go for that, with the beta to be precise, it wasn't officially out when I started making this video.

I decided to just apply the basic updates to the distro, and not even look at firmware updates first, just to see if everything worked properly, and I wasn't disappointed. Wifi and bluetooth work fine, the keyboard backlight is supported, the touchpad is able to perform these smooth GNOME gestures, the keyboard works perfectly, suspend and resume as well, there's nothing to add or configure, which is nice., and it's really not always the case with laptops primarily meant to work with Windows.

This is all on Fedora 41, with the linux kernel 6.11, so not even the very latest. The camera, mic, and speakers also perform well, although as always, the mic's default volume is wayyy to high for a laptop mic and needs to be lowered by about half. Even the fingerprint reader located in the power button works perfectly, although registering a fingerprint is finicky. It even works from the terminal, which is cool. Hot swapping the ports fro the laptop's body also works fine, everything is just fully functional.

As per the CPU itself, it's a Ryzen 7 7840U, so not the very latest and greatest from AMD, but it's a very competent CPU nonetheless, with 8 cores and 16 threads. On Geekbench 6, it got 2570 in single core, and 11270 in multi core.

As per battery life, the framework 13 isn't a big champion, it only has a 61 Wh battery with aht specific AMD CPU. For me, resulted in about 8h of looped video playback on youtube, with hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox, over wifi, at mid brightness, on power saver mode, with a 2880x1920 display running at 120hz, with 150% fractional scaling.

As per the actual laptop's hardware, it's great. The build quality is good, and absolute proof that you don't need to sacrifice repairability and maintenance options to get a well built device. It doesn't really flex much apart from the middle of the keyboard, and it feels very rigid and solid, despite that fact that various plates can be unscrewed and removed.

Aesthetically, there is not much of a tradeoff ether, apart from the ports which look weirdly far apart from one another because, well, they have to to make this module thing work, but it's honestly not a big deal, it looks fine, and at least you don't bump multiple peripherals into one another, and you don't block ports, with a big USB drive.

The plastic bezel is fine as well, the branding is very minimal, it all looks good. I enjoyedn the screen, it's bright, colors are good and it has an anti glare coating. It goes up to 500 nits, and covers 100% of sRGB. it's also 3:2, which i like as an aspect ratio. It can go up to 120hz as well,but that's only for the 2880x1920 display I got i my review unit.

The keyboard and touchpad are great as well, among the best laptop keyboards I've used. Keys are stable, correctly sized, and have good travel, they feel really nice to type on. The touchpad is smooth glass, it works perfectly for touchpad gestures, and it'ws precise not fiddly at all. It's also centered, which is good.

Other nice things include the mic and camera privacy switches that will stop them from being used electrically.

As per the cost, it's more expensive. With everything I got in the box, the review unit costs 1748 euros, with the 20% VAT included. But, with the framework laptop, you are almost guaranteed to get just a new motherboard when you need it, and you don't need to buy an entire new laptop every 5 years, which might save some money in the long term.

Mastering the Selection of a Company Secretary


 Choosing the right company secretary is crucial for your business's efficiency and compliance. By breaking down the process into key factors, you can simplify the decision-making process.

The task of selecting a company secretary can be daunting, especially with the vast array of secretarial service providers available. Whether you're a startup founder or managing an established enterprise, choosing the right secretarial services provider is essential for your business's efficiency and compliance. This guide will help you navigate the process by breaking down the key factors to consider when comparing secretarial service providers.

Understanding Your Business Needs

Evaluate Your Requirements

Before you start comparing providers, it's crucial to understand what your business truly needs. Are you looking for basic administrative support, or do you require comprehensive services that include compliance management, board meeting coordination, and document filing? Identifying your specific needs will help you filter out providers that don't align with your requirements.

Plan for Future Growth

Consider the future. As your business grows, your secretarial needs will evolve. Choose a company secretary that can scale with you, offering services that will continue to support your operations as you expand.

Expertise and Experience

Industry-Specific Knowledge

A seasoned company secretary with experience in your industry can offer invaluable insights and tailored support. For instance, a tech startup might require different compliance assistance compared to a manufacturing company. Look for providers who understand the nuances of your sector.

Check Their Track Record

Don't just take their word for it—check their track record. Ask for case studies or client testimonials to gauge their reliability and effectiveness. Have they successfully managed secretarial duties for businesses similar to yours? Their history can be a strong indicator of their capability.

Range of Services

Comprehensive Service Offerings

Not all secretarial services are created equal. Some providers offer a broad spectrum of services, while others specialize in specific areas. Ensure the provider you choose can handle all aspects you might need, such as compliance management, board support, and document management.

Customizable Packages

Every business is unique. Look for a provider that offers customizable packages, allowing you to pick and choose services that fit your specific needs without paying for unnecessary extras.

Technology and Tools

Leveraging Modern Solutions

In today's digital age, leveraging technology can significantly enhance the efficiency of secretarial services. Providers who utilize advanced software for document management, communication, and compliance tracking can offer a more streamlined and effective service.

Robust Security Measures

Sensitive business information needs to be protected. Ensure that your chosen company secretary employs robust security measures to safeguard your data. Ask about their data protection policies and the technology they use to prevent breaches.

Cost and Value

Transparent Pricing Structures

Cost is always a consideration, but it shouldn't be the only factor. Look for providers that offer transparent pricing structures without hidden fees. Clear understanding of costs helps you budget effectively and avoids unpleasant surprises down the line.

Value for Your Investment

Cheapest isn't always better. Evaluate the value you're getting for the price. A slightly higher cost might be justified if the provider offers superior services, better expertise, or more comprehensive support.

Communication and Support

Prompt Responsiveness

Effective communication is key to a successful partnership. Assess how responsive the secretarial services provider is during your initial interactions. Do they answer your queries promptly and clearly? This responsiveness often reflects the level of support you can expect once you're onboard.

Dedicated Support Contact

Having a dedicated point of contact can make a significant difference. It ensures you have someone familiar with your business who can address your needs promptly and efficiently.

Compliance and Reliability

In-Depth Regulatory Knowledge

A reliable company secretary should have a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape relevant to your business. They should not only ensure compliance but also keep you informed about any changes that might affect your operations.

Consistent Reliability

Dependability is non-negotiable. You need a provider you can trust to handle critical tasks without constant oversight. Look for signs of reliability, such as consistent service delivery and positive feedback from other clients.

Cultural Fit

Alignment with Company Values

Your secretarial services provider should align with your company’s culture and values. This alignment fosters a smoother working relationship and ensures that the provider understands and respects your business ethos.

High-Level Professionalism

Professionalism in handling your affairs is essential. The provider should exhibit a high level of professionalism in their interactions, ensuring that your business is represented appropriately in all matters.

Making the Decision

Create a Shortlist

After evaluating providers based on the factors above, create a shortlist of potential candidates. Compare them side-by-side to see which one ticks the most boxes for your business needs.

Ask Detailed Questions

Don't hesitate to ask detailed questions during consultations. Inquire about their processes, experience, and how they handle specific scenarios related to your business. Their responses can provide deeper insights into their suitability.

Consider a Trial Period

If possible, opt for a trial period to assess the provider’s services in real-time. This hands-on experience can help you make a more informed decision before committing long-term.

Conclusion: Make an Informed Choice for Seamless Operations


Choosing the right company secretary is crucial for your business's efficiency and compliance. By breaking down the process into key factors, you can simplify the decision-making process. From assessing your needs and evaluating expertise to ensuring technological proficiency and cultural fit, each step brings you closer to finding the perfect company secretary for your business.

Holy 90s adventure revival, Batman. Neofeud is a non stop feast of deja vues of interesting but arguably worse games from the 90s like Noctropolis, Harvester or | Have No Mouth and | Have To Scream, done mainly by a (arguably very very intelligent) guy that is from Hawaii and works as a robotics teacher in a probably difficult place - meaning, what you see in the game are things that probably he has been living there. The best part though is how he mixes all the 90s “cd rom multimedia” cyberpunk aesthetic and how he runs with it all along. And the game is very well written, very fair (for the moment at least) and has atmosphere in spades. Maybe if the references are nothing to you, you will not be able to enjoy it. But that's part of it. Neofeud is a game about empathy, about humanity, about fighting the oppressor, which is what Cyberpunk was about until it was washed out to be the bland neon aesthetic of today. | love it. | love the author, and | hope to see many things from him. Was this review helpful? dh, Yes No (© Funny |

No. It's mostly due to personal/personnel matters.

But it's a reminder to folks to not bring that shit from reddit where you scream at mods and admins all the time. When you post flagrantly illegal shit it's their asses too (some instances have their own interpretations of these things, so learn them!)

These are often unfunded volunteers begging for donations to provide a service for the rest of us. Be grateful and don't add to their list of problem. Don't go on witch hunts, don't put mods and admins on blast because you don't like their rules (saw this yesterday), don't be an entitled ass. Appreciate what we have and make their lives easier. This whole project is a gift.

i think mods of nsfw instances also deserve certain praise; modding that stuff must be … ugh. especially since the instance could be on a 486 in someone’s bedroom. having ran newsgroup servers back in “the day” - turning on anything “alt.bin” was .. not advised.

i had content recently removed for “advocating violence” (iirc it was when i suggested criminal charges for all shareholders of corps who do violent things like allow death when choosing profit over people, yadda yadda.) No example of what the offending remark was and I could not find the old comment to manually review or correct or apologize. in this case I messaged a mod. no reply yet. was it a legit removal? probably certainly! was it poor “customer service” to not follow up with me? probably. does it make me confused as to what the line is there and therefore distrust that community? certainly.

anyway yeah. so the feedback loop could be improved. mods could be more human. and commenters could be less dicks all around! 😀

Not trying to victim blame or anything, but I find it hard to believe that someone operating a low-moderation instance would truly expect people who don't like moderation to stay away.

Don't get me wrong I agree with your sentiment and dislike that behavior, but what I'm saying is that asking or expecting users not to go on witch hunts or to behave in a certain way is a fool's errand that will always lead to burnout. A more sustainable approach for admins and mods is creating space for what they want to host and not trying to control what they don't.

Je vous le conseille pour l'analyse précise et accessible tout autant que pour les notes de bas de page qui en font un 2e ouvrage riche de très nombreuses sources à lire et pour des principes à défendre comme :

On pourrait imaginer une règle simple : pas de calcul sans accès. Pas de calcul du social sans accès social à ce calcul.


Simple, basique !

Ensuite, ce sera « le rapt d'Internet » de @pluralistic ainsi que le tout dernier exemplaire de @socialter intitulé « De la lutte à la victoire ». ✊

Bonne journée, bonnes lectures, bonnes luttes et bientôt, forcément, bonnes victoires. 🚲 🌅 📚 💥 🆓 🎉

ESA transmits the Blue Danube Waltz into deep space

Cebreros transmitting the Blue Danube Waltz

On 31 May 2025, the European Space Agency (ESA) made history by transmitting a live performance of The Blue Danube Waltz into space from its Cebreros deep space antenna in Spain. This symbolic gesture elevated Johann Strauss II’s famous waltz, often considered the unofficial ‘anthem of space’, to its rightful place among the stars.

Silence is complicity: Why Israeli academia must strike against the atrocities in Gaza

There is a point when academia cannot remain silent. The population transfers, starvation and mass killings in Gaza are proof that the line has been crossed. It is not enough to end the war; we must also change reality

Helping choosing the right linux
Hello, I got almost for free a Lenovo laptop: CPU Intel i3 8130, 4Gb RAM. I would like to use It to learn Linux. I saw some people using Arch to learn the inside out of Linux, but I'm afraid It could be to challenging. What do you suggest? What Is the best way to learn? Thank you.
Edit: First of all I thank you all for your suggestions, I think that this is what makes this community special. I installed Fedora Xfce for now and I worked all evening to male it work and customize it. I'm learning a lot already. I'll move to Arch as soon I'll feel comfortable with Fedora. Thank you all again.

I suggest Linux Mint. It has GUIs for almost everything and it's very stable. With a little bit of tinkering of the services at startup, you can get Mint to run at 700 MB of RAM (as read via htop), instead of its default ~1 GB of RAM. That could be important to fit it better at 4 GB of ram with some demanding browsing.

I disagree with anyone who might suggest Fedora or Ubuntu with 4 GB of RAM. These distros require about 2+ GB of RAM to boot up, double than that of Mint.

Then there are the distros meant for older machines that use less ram, but it's a shame to use these when your laptop is fast-enough with an 8th gen cpu (comparatively to very old machines, that is).

The lowest ram usage I've seen with a full-fledge distro/DE, is XFce with endeavourOS. I load it at 490 MB of RAM (it takes 630 MB on Mint for the same layout/apps).

Basically, your challenge is the RAM, not the CPU or the drive. Use an appropriate distro for the RAM and the difficulty you want, and always be mindful to not have too many tabs/apps open at the same time.

I commented elsewhere about endeavourOS, but I have some other wisdom to pass along.

Keep good backups of your personal files, stuff you don’t want to lose, and don’t be afraid to try something new. You dont like something about how your system is running? Nuke it and install something else. Installing Linux is a cakewalk in most distros and rarely takes longer than half an hour (your mileage may vary with the low specs on the laptop)

I’ve learned a ton about Linux by trying many different distros, breaking things, fixing things, and occasionally distro hopping to see how I like a different offering.

There’s a lot of great content on YouTube that can help you learn, and reviews of various distros so you can get an idea of how things work without having to install it yourself. Have fun and don’t be afraid to fiddle with things.

Wilson is a hypocrite because he condemned elite control of government, yet created Federal Reserve, introduced the income tax, backed League of Nations, & enforced Espionage & Sedition Acts—all of which concentrated power in hands of unelected elites & crushed dissent; either he was a fool who was duped, or a self-righteous idealist who thought he knew best & was disastrously wrong.

Wilson came directly from the world of academia—only U.S. president to hold a Ph.D.!

Help me choosing a distro
I am looking for a distro with a customisable UI. I want the ability to change everything in the UI: like changing the window borders style, animated interface, creating transition animations. Something that can allow me to create UI from my favourite video games. I am even willing to learn a language if needed. Just don't suggest arch because I'm only interested in visuals. I don't want to spend time creating and troubleshooting other aspects of os. Also, if above requirements can be achieved with changing the desktop environment, please suggest that too.
I am somewhat familiar with Linux as I used it a few years ago for some time. Back then, the games' support was lacking, so I switched back. But now with steam os and proton's contribution, games shouldn't be a hassle to run.

If you want to get into customizing UIs hard, something the likes of this

You could get started with window managers (very opiniated topic, its really up to you to decide on which you should use) and UI toolkits like
- ewww
- AGS
- QuickShell

Also I know X11 is slowly dying but AwesomeWM fits your bill really nicely.

TL,DR: You want a cool UI? look at unixporn's top posts of all time, research an option you find good enough and go bananas on everything you need to make yourself at home.

ALSO consider posting at !unixporn@lemmy.ml so we can marvel at your fine grained setup, good luck!

I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well

Context:
I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate !barcelona@lemm.ee to !barcelona@piefed.social

piefed.social/c/barcelona now exists, with all the existing posts there, as well as the icon and description.

It even moved some subscribers (there are around 100 now), from what I understand those were Piefed subscribers that got automatically moved.

The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn't have show old posts (see lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.soc…), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn't have access to your old posts anyway.

This ensure that at least the posts are transferred to a community on an active instance, which is probably the main concern for lemm.ee communities at the moment.

At this moment, 9 out of the 10 most active communities are on LW: lemmyverse.net/communities?ord…

You have to scroll 3 times to see !television@lemm.ee, the first Lemm.ee community.

Lemm.ee was already a decentralization factor from LW, but it was still tiny in terms of communities compared to LW. Moving all of the Lemm.ee communities to Piefed.social (not that it's the case anyway, I've seen communities moving elsewhere) would keep the status quo that we were all living with.

Of course ideally over time more Piefed instances emerge, and we can spread a bit more. Also, thanks to the Piefed migration feature, we'll be able to move communities much smoother (even including subscribers).

Right, I've seen pretty much that same reply already.

I think it's a chance to learn a lesson from how and why lemm.ee is shutting down. Right now I think people are risking moving the same problem somewhere else. Sure, in theory the problem gets better with time because the tools to move around are there, but that only matters if there's somewhere to move.

It would be much more encouraging to see dozens of new piefed instances being launched/advertised. I think there's a big push towards something new because it's in the right place at the right time, and I genuinely hope it's a successful project long term. I just hope the people utilizing it are willing to support it as a platform and not just as a flagship instance.
