What it meant to me was that I had to unpin the link to my lemm.ee account from my Firefox home page.

It could've been the case that I would've had one less instance to choose from, but in the aftermath of the announcement, I found two new instances I wanted to try, so I'm actually one ahead in the long run.

And that's it.

Iโ€™m not going to pretend the data is safeโ€”it will disappear eventually.


That's what's valuable, yeah. Lots of great posts that I don't want to be lost.

But, itโ€™s not like we lost everything that was produced in that community overnight, even with the server going offline.


Fair.

I did create a list of all posts submitted to !spotifyplaylists@lemm.ee at !spotifyplaylists@lemmy.world so that all those valuable posts are not lost.

The U.S. Education Department announced the voluntary agreement Tuesday. The case focused on Lia Thomas , the transgender swimmer who last competed for the Ivy League school in Philadelphia in 2022, when she became the first openly transgender athlete to win a Division I title.

Itโ€™s part of the Trump administrationโ€™s broader attempt to remove transgender athletes from girlsโ€™ and womenโ€™s sports.

MTG-S1 and Copernicus Sentinel-4 launch from Florida

Video: 00:00:57

Two meteorological missions โ€“ Meteosat Third Generation Sounder-1 (MTG-S1) and the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission โ€“ have launched on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral in Florida, US.

Both are world-class Earth observation missions developed with European partners to address scientific and societal challenges.

The MTG-S1 satellite will generate a completely new type of data product, especially suited to nowcasting severe weather events, with three-dimensional views of the atmosphere. It is the second in the MTG constellation to be prepared for orbit and is equipped with the first European operational Infrared Sounder instrument.

Copernicus Sentinel-4 will be the first mission to monitor European air quality from geostationary orbit, providing hourly information that will transform how we predict air pollution across Europe, using its ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared light (UVN) spectrometer.

When this case first came out, I was talking to a relatively senior Finnish journalist about freedom of the press in Finland. We came to the conclusion that Finland's then best in the world ranking on press freedom was entirely down to the fact that the press had never wanted anything that the government wasn't ok with having in the papers. This decision is broadly incompatible with freedom of expression. Prosecuting folks who agreed to keep state secrets is one thing. Accusing journalists of treason, let alone convicting them, for publishing material that in their professional opinion was newsworthy is completely unacceptable. The Finnish national security bureaucracy does and must not be above the constraints of international human rights law, and must not be permitted to either constrain a priori or decide post hoc what is in the national interests. I assume this will be appealed and that the Finnish Supreme Court (or, failing them, the European Court of Human Rights) does the right thing. This case has already caused a significant chilling effect on Finnish journalism โ€” already not in a great position โ€” and this is happening at a time when Finland's national security position and responsibilities are changing rapidly. We need transparency and accountability in the national security bureaucracy now more than ever.

For the love of god if you're trying to convince your employer or an organization to "come over" to the #Fediverse, do NOT under any circumstances suggest that they set up a #Mastodon #instance!

Mastodon is the ONLY Fediverse platform that ... by default ... forces #server #admins to #cache, #copy, and #proxy all #media that passes through its server. This means that not only are server admins paying to host the media their users #upload, but they have to pay to host the media everyone else on the fucking fediverse uploads as well.
Other platforms offer this feature, but Mastodon is the only one that has this turned on by default.
This results in Mastodon server admins having to shell out thousands of dollars each month in #S3 hosting costs for no reason whatsoever.

There are much better alternative instance platforms than Mastodon.

BTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.

@gme iOS and macOS donโ€™t force you to log into an apple id to set up your phone, only to download from the app store (whoch wouldnโ€™t be a problem if they just allowed iOS users to install apps directly from websites like on macOS). iโ€™m not sure if android forces you to use a google account, i donโ€™t have any android devices
in reply to Jake

That must be pretty new. I tend to recall having to create an AppleID to set up my iMac, iPad, and iPhone back when I had one.

Interesting if it's no longer required now.

Android definitely requires you to sign-in with your Google account to set up your phone.
