"#Jack recently deleted his account on #Bluesky, once pitched—by him—as #socialmedia’s decentralized solution to censorship, and left the company’s board. I reached out and asked him why, which is where our call began…what follows is a missing chapter of internet history that sheds light not only on Bluesky, but #Twitter, X, and the past 5 years of censorship & backlash. The future will be decentralized, or it won’t be free." https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mike-solana
Ich bin mir sicher, nicht jeder kann etwas mit dem Namen #Biz Stone anfangen. Ich auch nicht. Eine Recherche kann sich aber lohnen. Immerhin sitzt diese Person im Vorstand von #Mastodon und hat intensiv mit #Jack Dorsey zusammen gearbeitet.
Darüber hinaus frage ich mich nach den rechtlichen Konsequenzen, jetzt, nach dem Mastodon eine U.S. non-profit Organisation ist.
Trump special counsel fires back at Cannon order that could disrupt case
Special counsel #Jack#Smith warned the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s #classified#documents case that
👉she is pursuing a legal premise that “is wrong”
and said he would probably #appeal to a higher court if she rules that a federal records law can protect the former president from prosecution.
In a near-midnight legal filing, Smith’s office pushed back hard against an unusual instruction from U.S. District Judge #Aileen M. #Cannon
— one that veteran national security lawyers and former judges have said badly misinterprets the Presidential Records Act and laws related to classified documents.
Smith’s filing represents the most stark and high-stakes confrontation yet between the judge and the prosecutor,
illustrating the extent to which a ruling by Cannon that legitimizes the #PRA as a defense could eviscerate the historic case.
It sets up the possibility that a government appeal of such a ruling could delay the trial well beyond November’s presidential election, in which Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee.
Wondering whether #SpecialCounsel#Jack Smith will even bother to present the general background on this or just let the case specific evidence gathered speak for itself about #TrumpsDishonesty.
(Assuming here that #AileenCannon isn't successfully guided by the maverns of the #FederalistSociety through to preventing the trial.)
A question for every #machinist more skilled than me (just to avoid to write "all").
To support parts that have to be rotated wouldn't be better to have a machinist #jack with a rollers head, like photo 2, rather than with a flat head, like photo 1, which moves every time the part is turned?
#X/ #Twitter May Lose Up to $75 Million in Revenue as More Advertisers Pull Out
Internal documents show companies like Airbnb, Coca-Cola and Microsoft have halted ads, or are at risk of doing so, after Elon #Musk’s endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Same here, but not only for this reason. #Jack Dorsey, co-founder and board member, is still in league with the most prominent #Nazi on the globe, #Elmo.
In 2021, I decided to try my hand at what was probably the most intricate lantern I've done. This is Malini from Tasha Suri's book, 'The Jasmine Throne.'
How is it after so many years #Linux still manages to totally fuck up the most basic and common use of #Bluetooth (audio)?
Every Bluetooth device I own connects to my Android phone without a hiccup. Every Bluetooth device I've tried (a subset of the first group) works without a hitch on the Windows machine at work.
But my main Linux box at home? About half of them don't work.
It should be a fucking embarrassment, but it seems the F/OSS crowd doesn't "grok" shame.
#Bluetooth is a fiendishly complicated protocol. I've used it on-and-off since about 2008 or so. #Android uses a completely different stack to desktop Linux. Things may be better on Windows, but there were as many as 3 different BT stacks for Windows (Toshiba, Widcomm, Microsoft).
Early attempts used an #ALSA kernel driver for Bluetooth… worked, but 8kHz mono is not the way I like to listen to music. And I'd imagine, unless your choice of music is 1930s swing, probably not yours either.
BlueZ (the standard Bluetooth stack on most Linux systems) pivoted across to doing it in user-space using PulseAudio. That worked okay for A2DP one-way audio, but for full-duplex audio, it is limiting. Notably, I found I couldn't get mSBC CODEC working, so full-duplex audio was 8kHz not 16kHz.
Most of the effort is going into linking #BlueZ and #pipewire, which I think will be the #PulseAudio successor (and may also displace #JACK.. as it has features of both systems).
Pipewire was written to do video actually (webcams), but then evolved to do audio too out of necessity. It's experimental, but I find works more reliably with Bluetooth. (And plays nicer with sound cards than JACK.)
Falls ihr euch immer schon einmal gefragt hat, wie Integritaet definiert wird....
Das ist #Twitter CEO #LindaYaccarino auf der Code Konferenz und sie haelt ihr Phone in die Kamera... jetzt ratet mal welche App da auf dem Homescreen fehlt?
#Mastodon ist natuerlich auf meinem Homescreen und auch in meiner Bookmarkbar im Desktop-Browser
@ViolaB@pallenberg …und die ganze Welt würde sich fragen, wie wenig die Autos von Tesla taugen, wenn selbst der Chef nicht zu seinem Produkt steht.
Also: Wie toll ist Bluesky, wenn selbst #Jack es nicht benutzt?
