Why is the reading experience better in the apps (like the Guardian)?
Because the tracking cookies and adversarial content is baked into the app and governed by the terms of service. You don’t have a way out, unlike the web site with the cookie notice.
So that’s why they push the apps. They’re less accountable that way.

Looking for a suitable, non-pretentious-sounding noun that means something like:
"Knows a lot about this topic (far beyond any intermediate knowledge and definitely enough to help a lot of people), but is still actively learning and doesn't consider themselves (or want to be described as) an expert, as that has a lot of connotations and professional links that they don't have."
Our melty mind is only suggesting kennings to us right now, like "[thing]-knower" or "thing-understander".
@trabex Alas, definitely not a professional, and that would confer qualifications, sanctioned experience, and a level of officialdom that we don't have 😅 Same goes for specialist, sadly.

I'm disappointed by @pluralistic's posts regarding mastodon.social's proposed terms of service.
Saying that the arbitration clause would allow the instance's management to cause a user's death and face no consequences is - frankly - *disinformation*.
Yeah, he cites the Disney issue but he ignores the vital fact that Berlin is not Florida - not everything or everywhere is as fucked up as the United States.
This isn't to say that the arb clause is good, but those posts arguing against are *bad*
Where are *your* citations that show that a German organisation would be shielded, under German arbitration law, from all consequences of it causing a death?
After all, you made that original claim, you should be able to provide evidence that it's true, right?
Well I would be *incredibly* surprised if England and Wales would allow an arbitration clause to ouster the court when it comes to an action resulting from a party to an agreement causing another party's death.
I would expect the same in most other European territories too as Article 2 of the ECHR places a positive obligation on states to protect the right to life - preventing criminal or civil proceedings for causing a death would almost certainly violate that.
* Council Directive 93/13/EEC - unfair terms in a consumer contract are not binding on the consumer. Annex 1(a) and (q) are particularly relevant here.
* CJEU cases C-168/05 and C‑40/08 - Arbitration awards where the arbitration clause is unfair are to be annulled, even if the unfairness wasn't argued during the arbitral proceedings.
(The CJEU case law is also retained EU law in the UK post-Brexit, with the High court saying "there can be no dispute that the UTCCD represents public policy" in the scope of the Arbitration Act 1996 - Para 105 of Payward v Chechetkin, [2023] EWHC 1780 (Comm))
I will concede that you didn't intentionally peddle untruth so "disinformation" is too strong. "Misinformation" would still be appropriate, though IMO.
You asserted, without evidence, that mastodon.social's managers could cause somebody's death and suffer no consequences, then "I am trying not to be dramatic here".
My contention is that making that assertion is irresponsible, irrespective of whether arbitration is good or bad a) in this case, specifically; or b) in general.
Personally, I am... wary of arbitration clauses.They can be less formal (and potentially cheaper) that going to The Court. But there are structural issues (an asymmetry of power) that can be abused. I would rather see an _option_ for arbitration than a mandate for it.

#Israel vows to hold #Iran's leader accountable for "#WarCrimes" after Iranian #missile #slams into #hospital HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh that's fucking rich coming from Israel. I hope -- nay I pray -- the rest of the World tells Israel to rightly fuck right off.
An Iranian missile slammed into a hospital in Israel, causing no serious injuries but drawing a quick vow of retaliation against Iran's supreme leader for "war crimes."
slightly unrelated but remember that one time at the start of the genocide when Israel organised this massive media campaign/propaganda trying to argue that it didn't bomb that one particular hospital and there was this massive show in panels with experts, footage analyzing, opinions, debates etc?
Well now they've bombed 36 more of them but no one seems to care anymore. Whoever controls the mainstream media, controls not just the narrative, but what people will think and talk about everywhere, even if they disagree - we were arguing about that one hospital for a week or two and never talked about any other, because they get to decide what we'll talk about.

We’ll go with bare-metal Linux—no Halium, no libhybris. We want to stay as close to mainline as possible and actively contribute upstream.
We’ll develop everything openly. Our policy is to publish code, collaborate with the community, and be transparent. Free software, for us, is a matter of principle—not just legal compliance.

Enshittification comes for open source: Slack is kicking two large open source groups, Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Kubernetes, off of their donated enterprise tier, giving them one week notice to migrate multiple years of data to a new platform before it's all deleted: cncf.io/blog/2025/06/16/cncf-s…

i realized i had to reduce the amount of people i follow on X. for anyone i already read their RSS feed or see content elsewhere there's no reason to duplicate that on X cause it's just additional clutter and wasted time. social media is a black hole for your energy and time
RSS feeds are the cleanest way imo to read content with a minimal amount of extra junk like ads, or excessive reposting, or engagement farming, like you get on twitter
"The newspaper announced that the mission of the Red Guards was to rid the country of the ‘Four Olds’: old culture, old customs, old habits, and old ways of thinking. There was no clear definition of ‘old’; it was left to the Red Guards to decide. First of all, they changed street names."

“In one chilling [Iranian missile] attack, a hospital was hit by a large explosion and there was a substantial number of casualties, according to the Likud-run health ministry.
Needless to say, the people who repeatedly bombed 36 hospitals are outraged by this, um, outrage.”
Yet we also love truth and life but live in a world of lies and deception which Holy Spirit seeks to unmask using our combined efforts, moving us outside our individual comfort zones.
A falta de que pasen por el juez, estos dos palillos "presuntamente" han asesinado a un chaval por un presunto robo de un móvil.
Uno de ellos aparenta estar bastante borracho en el vídeo.
Solo dos jóvenes medio intervienen y quitan al que se tambalea como un borracho de encima de la víctima.
Un mataleón no es un método de inmovilización que enseñen en las academias de policía, se trata de una maniobra extremadamente peligrosa que puede acabar con la muerte de la víctima, como en este caso, o con graves secuelas.
En una situación así no hay solo que grabar, da igual si dicen que son policías, bomberos o el Sursuncorda, hay que intervenir y proteger la vida de la víctima.
Un spray de pimienta es legal y neutralizaría a ambos agresores hasta la llegada de la policía.
Y cuando llegue la policía denunciad, no esperéis a que los agresores neutralizados os denuncien, hay que sacar a estos salvajes de las calles y que los pongan a vigilar depósitos de residuos químicos donde no puedan hacer daño a nadie.

Inspired by one of my favourite lyricists (James Douglas Morrison) Tide Drive -- with Muse of June..
Let’s slip past the painted curb of sanity, You - Dear Muse of June - and me—barefoot, brain-lit, lunar-dazed— We’ll hitch a ride on the tide, rolling down Luna`s sweet boulevard.
No maps, just whispers from the sea's cracked lips, salt-tongue lullabies and the jazz of distant foghorns blowing Miles into the mist, a syncopation for drifters and dream-sick lovers like us -- Searching for soulfood and aching for the unknown.
I saw the stars changed into fireworks - flicked from a Goddess rooftop party, and I thought— this is it, this is where we drive off the edge and kiss the night with open eyes.
Let’s drive into the undertow, Let the ocean drink us in— not to drown us, baby, no— To drift where the dolfins are philosophers and jellyfish hum sweet melodic sounds.
We’ll trade names with the wind, make up stories to forget ourselves, and leave behind the clocks, the rent, the plastic breakfast conversations.
This is the heartbeat cruise, The midnight escape - Take the wheel, darling, I’m blind - on stardust and singing in a language only the tide remembers.
So let´s set sail Now - You, My Dear Muse of June -- and me Lets sail to the moon - The Sweetness Luna - Before the world awakes..
@Didier Guy "The moment when the stars become fireworks is a revelation, the perfect moment to “kiss the night with open eyes” and dive into a world where dolphins are philosophers. It’s an escape from clocks and conventions, a “cruise to the rhythm of the heart.” Ultimately, it’s a hymn to the imagination, inviting us to fly to the moon before the world wakes up. A powerful reminder of the beauty of surrender and freedom of the mind."
Wah! WoW! Beautiful Expression from the awesome poem @Tony Langmach penned/typed, put into words, his amazing "IMAGINATION!"
Such nice compliment to receive @iam-elegance 🙏🤝 For me, Imagination is not an escape from reality, but a contact to either "cleanse" or to open all the senses...

Just a reminder that Google is an illegal monopolist, having lost three distinct antitrust cases.
It looks likely that Google will be treated the way Microsoft was in their famous antitrust loss in the late 1990s, and not be broken up in any significant way. Google absolutely should be broken up, just like AT&T and Standard Oil (and countless other large US monopolists) were before it. Google's wealth and power derives from illegal behavior; this is not in question anymore. Why should they be permitted to keep what courts have decided they stole? 100 years of antitrust law and precedent says that it should not be permitted to keep the spoils of its illegal behavior.
It sounds to me like the hesitation to break up Google is largely ideological on the part of the judges and lawyers involved. The failure to break up Microsoft after its antitrust loss is arguably one of the main reasons the US economy is such a monopolized, consolidated mess today, and why so many things are "enshittifying". Breaking up Google and changing that pattern would obviously not cure all ills, but it'd almost surely make a number of things in the economy better for a whole lot of people.
In any case, one thing we can all do is look at Google as a bad actor, a law-breaking entity whose power is illegitimate.
Google has lost three separate antitrust cases, and more are on the way. Why does this company still exist in one piece? It shouldn't, but we're still dealing with the hangover of the 1990s.
Moti #Shefer, Israel’s all time most respected ballistic expert, has been arguing throughout the last 2 decades that Israel’s anti missile systems have achieved O (zero) success in intercepting enemy missiles and projectiles. According to Shefer the #IronDome is a money making scum (I would expect nothing less from God’s favourite children).
Shefer shows in his scientific study that a single Palestinian rocket would appear on the Israeli anti missile system as 20 separate targets. The Israeli system would then target 20 enemy projectiles, one would of course through. It would be presented as 95% success but in fact it is a 100% failure, a #hoax!!!
I have been writing a lot about #Iran’s air defence being compromised due to the Israeli first move. Iran, however, is gaining its air defence in place. It is dealing with relatively slower objects. But #Israel air defence is totally obsolete, dysfunctional. It may be effective against Nazi V2 technology but these are not around for a while.
In this superb video analysis you can get yourself informed about the Israeli and American total incapacity to deal with Iran hyper sonic technology. #Iran has the upper ground in the sky. In the battle between the notorious genocidal psychopaths and the chess players I am, of course, with the chess players..
