Just as a note. The Swedish Herald is not as far as I can tell not registered in Swedish. They have not posted their organisation number on the homepage and they are not listed on Bolagsverket (it is the governmet agency where all corporations need to be registered.) They also only have listed 3 writers and one EIC. Their different personal about pages say a lot about them but they do not refer to them self as journalists. I have seen them linked to here before, most of their articles seem to be direct translations of news published by real Swedish news outlets. Such as TT, SVT, SYDSVENSKAN, etc, but they don’t credit them. Take what you read on this page with that in mind.

I agree that apart from https to and from something like a forum/public chat room there is no point in encrypting that space, since it’s public. However, one on one chats and VoIP calls I think is a different thing. As long as it is made clear that private DMs and calls aren’t encrypted, preferably stated along with all features on the webpage, then it becomes a conscious choice for the consumer/user.

Edit: I did eventually find in the documentation that e2ee is is the pipeline.

Is the communications encrypted?

I agree. Few issues have a single correct answer.

Open source is the language used by the initiators of the call for evidence. It is also clear from the language in their questions that they do not refer to source-available. In my response, I believe, I also make it pretty clear that I am not referring to source-available.

Although your GIF is indeed a great quip about the length of my post, it also illustrates a broader societal issue. Namely, the lack of time or willingness to engage with political topics that aren’t formulated in short slogans. Both unfortunately for many people a product of the society we live in. I am a proponent of 4 day work week(or 6h/day), for this very reason. Unfortunately, some issues require more than a sentence or two to properly explain, argue or convey.

Thanks for taking the time to answer the call for feedback. The more feedback they received stating similar views, the more likely they are to adopt policies that align with the publics view. Especially if they are pragmatic.

Ritter Sport is a brand of chocolate bar from the family-owned Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG, which has its headquarters in Waldenbuch, Germany. The company was founded in 1912 by Clara and Alfred Eugen Ritter and has been family-owned ever since. Andreas Ronken has been the CEO since 2015.

Wikipedia seems to align with what their webpage states as well.

Leslie Nielsen of course, but if we don’t count comedies Gary Oldman. Because I was a kid when I saw him as Dracula and had not seen the earlier and every one after I compared to my memory of Gary as Dracula.

Same here.

That’s why I used the phrase: “if leather were a by-product”

I was simplifying the sake of the example.

I didn’t think about it before, but plastics might be a “fairer” material than leather. Depending on how you look at it.

This is what makes it hard as a consumer to be conscious of our choices. Sometimes, it feels like a Dirac equation. For the sake of this example, let’s say that we only have a choice between faux leather and leather coats. We can also say that suffering is a constant.

If leather were only a by-product of an already existing industry, should the environmental cost of rearing be included in the impact? If the chemicals used in tanning have a greater immediate negative environmental impact than faux leather, should that weigh heavier than the plastics’ impact over time?

Let’s say faux leather has a lower immediate and long-term impact. However, it’s less durable, even with proper care, resulting in needing to be replaced every year instead of once every 5 to 10 years. But then we have to take price into account. What if leather costs significantly more even with replacements factored in? Would that require more labor? Does the means of generating capital itself produce a worse environmental impact?

I sometimes struggle with choosing tomatoes.

The example was not to argue one over the other, but to explain what I meant in my initial comment. It doesn’t feel like a given that recycled plastics are the best choice for the environment. My assumptions might also be completely wrong.

This is not meant as a jab, cause I’m honestly curious. Wouldn’t abstaining from plastics altogether, even recycled, be more enviromentaly friendly? Like using wood and organic textiles. I mean microplastics found in basically everything now even embryos. As an example I have no idea what’s worse faux leather or real leather.

It feels like recycled plastics should be better for the environment than new, as long as the recycling process isn’t so inefficient that it pollutes more. But is it? Maybe using natural materials instead of plastics isn’t feasible for this type of application.

Anyways have a great day.

Sweden,Lituania,Denmark, Norway, Poland, that I know of, off the top of my head. And for the dystopian feeling you have, consider that its required for banking, tax filing and things where you would otherwise have to prove your identity with a government issued ID or passport. So no more dystopian than being required to show Id when taking out a house loan.

Same here. I guess we are doomed to be mistaken for clankers.

It is indeed an Ericsson branded Psion. Cool project. I wonder if those frequencies will become open once they discontinue them for regular cell transmission.

Well since I’m located in Sweden I’ve initially focused on how to set up a non profit organisation here. And the process is pretty straight forward. Until you get to taxes, salaries, expences and such. Even if you are a non profit you still need to pay employer fees, taxes on salaries and pensions, if you have employees or any salaried personnel or consultants. If they are volunteers but have expences well they need to be declared. But all that would be normal business for an accounting.(I’m not an accountant)

Basically to get started you need to have a charter, voted on at the first board meeting. After that your organisation is born. Then comes registration, getting an organisation number, setting upp tax accounts, bank accounts, seeking grants and subsidies, an office(for lack of a better word) if needed. Also the non profit needs to have a mission that is to the benifit of society, a bit of a open interpretation here, but it can’t just be “let’s have a we three men go on fishing trips non profit”. Oh and yes it needs to be open for anyone to join (there are exceptions here. But that needs to be stipulated in the charter. Think a historical society, excluding history revisionists, or that dude from ancient aliens).

I’m an idiot, Indeed it was a permission issue, but the issue was FAT16. It does not handle permission the same way as UNIX systems. You got me on the right track, cause the solution was to use dmask to set default permissions to rwx for the whole partition on mount

Well we can organise, set up a non profit (this also lets us bypass CC2 if its ever enacted). I’ve been thinking about this for a while and already have a framework for statues and a draft for a mission statement. If done correctly there are country and EU grants that can help (yes, I spent some time looking through grant processes). What I mean to say is; you have my axe
