Just to be clear: Mickey Mouse being in the public domain doesn't matter and never did, other than Disney being the antagonist promoting copyright term extensions over the course of the 20th century.

What matters is the literally endless list of other works that were kept out of the commons because of Mickey.

Mickey was a reverse-canary in the coal mine. Now that his copyright is finally dead, the rest of culture can finally breathe free.

Signal adding usernames is 👌🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

Leaking your phone number is a nightmare and also complicated when dealing with international numbers. Usernames will make it so much easier.

Just joined a WhatsApp for my apartment building here in Mexico and I can already feel the sms spam coming my way.

Another excellent reflection on the situation in #Palestine by @justinling , this time comparing it to the US quagmire in Iraq:

“Whatever the strategic objectives of invasion, without a clear exit strategy you will have no choice but to fight the forever war. Any action you take will radicalize the people you control — and it will radicalize your own people as well.”

@halide Is there some way Halide could add metadata to images that would show in the macOS Photos app? Or to see which images are from Halide with what's there now?

I can see "Saved from Halide” when browsing on iOS, but it's invisible on my MacBook. Maybe it's just an omission from Apple, and they'll update it at some point. macOS Photos all around sucks compared to on iOS.

Would be really useful in figuring when Halide improves my captures without opening my phone to check.

Excellent overview of a difficult subject by @globalvoices

“Over the last 45 years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has weaponized textbooks, religious debates, movies and series, city walls, and even cemeteries to impose cultural violence and institutionalize its dominance, particularly over religious minorities.”

#apple I'm fed up with accidental input on my MacBook's trackpad. My hand-butts are constantly changing the cursor location, selecting text, and ultimately deleting sections of documents. I end up wishing the trackpad was just smaller!

Anyone have advice?

Seems like “Better Touch Tool" (https://folivora.ai/) is the big name in the space. Anyone have experience using it for this?Any tips for making the most of it?

PSA: Mac users should NOT buy Baldur's Gate III yet, as it is still in "Early Access" despite being fully released for Windows.

Steam didn't warn me AT ALL about this, and I ended up playing several hours of the buggy version before realizing that I will lose all my progress once the final game comes out (~Sep 6):

> Larian previously warned that save files from the game's early access period will not carry over to the game's full release
