Every GitLab instance requires you to have an account there to comment and submit PRs. Projects are often hosted on different instances.

Isn't prohibiting them from not releasing the server software after they shut down the ultimate way to not reward them for such behavior?

Thanks! I'm new to Wikinews too but my impression is that the only thing you need to cite an interview is files of the medium over which the medium was conducted: audio for calls, logs for chats, email threads for... emails, etc. (The parts that aren't part of the interview's conversation do need to be sourced, though Wikinews doesn't appear to do inline citations.) So I would need that to post this on Wikinews. (assuming they allow such non–"first-hand" content in the first place, which I think they should but can't find anything about lol)

Honestly "cultural influence" kinda sounds like "you get paid with exposure".

Would you consider writing some of this stuff for Wikinews (the Wikimedia Foundation project, not to be confused with Wikileaks)?

That’s OLED, this is the original Switch, hardware 8-years-old.

okay that's enough. here's the actual answer:

People have told me I don’t know how good I have it.

That my complaints about Linux['s accessibility for the blind] are too much. That I’m spoiled. That back in the day, things were harder. That Windows XP was worse in every way. That modern systems are faster, more usable, more accessible — and I’m just being dramatic.

So I decided to call that bluff.

—part 1

One of the points Fireborn made in their famous "I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back" series is that Linux accessibility has deteriorated a lot over time.

mmm, steamed fabs!

 

I pulled the NC10’s motherboard out, stuck it in the oven — 200 degrees Celsius, five minutes, no fan — and baked it. Not metaphorically.

I don't think digesting and water absorption are the same thing. Hydration is absorbing the water and digestion is processing what's left besides the water.

RJM is chair of the Scientific Advisory Board for the European Hydration Institute. PW has received funding in the last 3 y from the European Hydration Institute for other hydration-related research. None of the other authors reported a conflict of interest related to the study.

Could not find much more information on this institute. It ran an introduction to a conference in a supplement to a trusted, peer-reviewed journal but supplements have a general reputation of being advertisements.

article links to a yahoo version of 2019 CNN which links to a 2016 study with a URL resulting in a redirect to the new standalone website for the journal now-declared-independence instead of a DOI I had to rescue from the archives which now links to the ScienceDirect hosting of the article instead: https://doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.115.114769 (Thankfully open (archive) access)

In summary, the present study describes a novel tool to enable the objective assessment of the effectiveness of beverages to maintain hydration status. The BHI is reproducible and the pattern of response for a range of commonly consumed beverages is consistent with what is known about the effects of their constituents on water balance.

 

Bing has terminated all of its search syndication and API services, and will likely be removed completely in a future version. As it is a struggle to monetise Waterfox Private Search with an ad-supported free version, it’s unlikely it will ever be default and instead will be a subscription-only based service.

The default search engine has been changed to Startpage.

 

According to the FBI, a Texas man talked about killing christians on Roblox and searched for ‘are suicide attacks haram in islam’ on his iPhone.

Roblox gave authorities Crazz3pain’s email address, name, physical address, and IP address and it all pointed back to James Wesley Burger. The FBI searched Burger’s home on February 28 and discovered that someone in his family had put on a keylogger on the laptop he used to play Roblox and that they’d captured a lot of what he’d been typing while playing the game. They turned over the records to the feds.

 

I never thought I’d be this upset to a point I’d be writing an article about something this sensitive with a clickbait-y title. It’s simultaneously demotivating, unproductive, and infuriating. I’m here writing this post fully knowing that I could have been working on accessibility in GNOME, but really, I’m so tired of having my mood ruined because of privileged people spending at most 5 minutes to write erroneous posts and then pretending to be oblivious when confronted while it takes us 5 months of unpaid work to get a quarter of recognition, let alone acknowledgment, without accounting for the time “wasted” addressing these accusations.

I beg you, please keep writing banger posts like fireborn’s I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back series and their interluding post. We need more people with disabilities to keep reminding developers that you exist and your conditions and disabilities are a spectrum and not absolute.

TheEvilSkeleton is a pretty big GNOME developer whom I'm pretty sure I've bumped into before.

 

The parents are also heard taking issue with the fact that the bus driver appears to be dressed in a schoolgirl’s uniform. The bus driver is heard saying that they “do this every week.” “And I don’t think there’s any problem,” they are heard saying to the parents before driving away.

 

there's no disputing a ~100-foot-deep (~30-m), 226-foot-wide (69-m) pit of relentless fiery fury that's been burning for around 50 years in the Karakum Desert of Turkmenistan

“President Trump has made it clear: the days of reckless spending and blank checks are over,” Mr. Duffy said in a news release. In a statement, Gov. Kathy Hochul described the Trump administration’s decision as a boon for the state and indicated that she would withdraw more than $1 billion of funding from the project.

 

It’s downright scary to watch this close up. President Trump is focused on what teams American transgender athletes can race on, and China is focused on transforming its factories with A.I. so it can outrace all our factories. Trump’s “Liberation Day” strategy is to double down on tariffs while gutting our national scientific institutions and work force that spur U.S. innovation. China’s liberation strategy is to open more research campuses and double down on A.I.-driven innovation to be permanently liberated from Trump’s tariffs.

The article has a weird assumption that AI would drive innovation but offers a scathing critique of the current US government.

 

the officers disclosed their jobs to the couple, even encouraging the couple to Google the officers, said Andrew Halverson, a spokesman for the wildlife department’s law enforcement division. The couple joked that they could not find any information online about the officers, and continued talking, Mr. Halverson said. [...] The passengers also showed the officers the skull of an endangered sea turtle they were smuggling in a carry-on bag during the flight.

The day after the flight, officers arrived to execute a search warrant at the couple’s home in Chico, Calif., and found Mr. Fitzpatrick and Ms. Price processing a deer they had hunted illegally that day, the agency said. Deer season was over, and the couple had no deer tags, which California requires in addition to an annual hunting license to hunt big game species.

Officers also found mountain lion claws, taxidermied animals including a ringtail cat and a barn owl, an illegally hunted spike buck and several illegally hunted deer with tagging violations, the agency said. Ringtail cats are a protected species in California, and mounted raptors like the barn owl are illegal to possess without state and federal permits.
