Can you please elaborate on the security layer that flatpak adds? Some commentators here suggest Flathub is not secure.
I actually upvoted the comment because I agree that silencing voices (which aren't harassing or abusive) is a bad thing, regardless of what opinion they are expressing. But downvotes aren't the same as admins banning you based purely on difference of opinion, let's not conflate the two. This thread is about the latter, while downvotes are just another form of free speech.

OMG 😂, so good! Your comment I mean, not arsenic.

Dear OSC community, You may be aware of recent developments regarding the dissolution of Open Collective Foundation (OCF) by the end of the year 2024. We are extremely sad to hear the news and are still processing it, but we wanted to send...
"Our hearts are heavy for our friends and colleagues at Open Collective Foundation with whom we shared dreams, efforts, admiration, and inspiration as we each worked to build a community of care and support."

Do you have a signed agreement with them on the original schedule? I don't think it's legal for them to unilaterally change that agreement.
Thanks for explaining! Let me explain why I disagree with this in general. I'll share a personal anecdote, bear with me please.
So, a feminist friend shared with me a book on human trafficking for sexual exploitation written by a group of investigative journalists that she had helped translate to Serbian. It was thoroughly researched and well documented. Reading it left a mark on me and taught me things about the world that shatter the childish worldview (this was decades ago, I was a young teenager at the time).
Now, the Serbian translation was prefaced by my friend's fellow activist who was clearly a misandrist. The preface was filled with slurs and general assumptions of complicity and guilt about exclusively men, despite the fact that even the very book the preface was for stated that men also get trafficked (though less), and that women themselves are not rarely involved in the illegal trafficking chains of operation (think Ghislane Maxwell).
Reading that preface made me feel unjustly attacked and I would have dropped the book and never got to the good, educational part, had it not been for my friend's highest recommendation (I'm glad I stuck with it). It turns out the woman who wrote this had had bad experiences with men in her life, and used this otherwise well researched book as a vessel to vent her personal hate for men, which was borne out of her own trauma.
While it can be considered "justified" that she feels this way, this damaged greatly the overall message of the Serbian translation, which clearly took a lot of effort to research, document and write, and than translate and publish in my country. Its educational impact was greatly diminished by the editor's choice (out of activist camaraderie, I'm assuming) to include the hateful text at the very beginning, which unjustly attacks the very audience who would most benefit by learning from the unbiased body of the book. It's a tragically missed opportunity.
While social media exacerbates these issues (all this happened long before social media existed), and bad faith actors attempt to skew positive feminist messages, I think we shouldn't excuse the feminist movement for some of its own failings.
To conclude, I'm a male feminist, but I think writing "all men are thrash" or "all cops are bastards", or "all <broad group> are <slur>" in general in the public sphere is irresponsible.
I agree with most things you wrote, but one thing confuses me. You seem to suggest that writing 'all men are thrash' is ok in some contexts, but when spread without that context can radicalize boys?
I agree about the tactic, but I don't feel this particular article aims to use it (though I concede the wording of the title is a bit clumsy). The final paragraph clarifies the clickbait (as it happens nowadays):
“There are already three or four influencers jockeying for position if he goes down,” he says. “He’s a symptom, not the problem.”
It would have been a better post without the "y'all are stupid" laughter at the very start (though it might probably have been downvoted even then, but maybe less, for whatever that is worth). I agree with the business part of what you wrote.
The title (click bait as it is) withholds the most important qualifier from the text of which AI we are talking about:
"“Overall, our model shows that the job loss from AI computer vision, even just within the set of vision tasks, will be smaller than the existing job churn seen in the market [...]”
Sure, computer vision is important for some jobs, but it's a much smaller subset of jobs that is really deemed protected as claimed by the study. If the knowledge has already been coded to text on the other hand, it's a different story.
Michael Rice, who became a central character in the Ford government’s Greenbelt scandal, is being sued by his former associate.
"Fenwick invested $3.5 million into buying the $7.4-million property in 2007, making him the largest shareholder. He alleges that after more than a decade of minimal activity, Rice suddenly called a meeting in June 2021. He says Rice urged him and the other investors to take advantage of a “spike” in demand for industrial property by selling the land, adding that it could take another decade for the municipality to build sewer and water services, and developing the property privately would yield a low return on their investment."

Thank you, I love every word you wrote here! I'm an atheist when it comes to picking labels, but I think there's potentially good things in these value systems (and bad, like with everything else that is man made). Focusing on labels is missing the point.

While the US does have a lot of soft power in influencing nations, they certainly aren't making the rules for other countries and puppeting them.
This is a very rosy eyed statement. The "soft" power is the visible part, just the tip of the iceberg.

This should be a big story. Very very big.
The hack was worse than initially believed, with every client having some data stolen in the breach, the cybersecurity company warned.
Hackers who compromised Okta’s customer support system stole data from all of the cybersecurity firm’s customer support users, Okta said in a letter to clients obtained by CNBC Tuesday, a far greater incursion than the company initially believed.
So, yesterday we covered Elon Musk’s ridiculous censorial threat to sue Media Matters “the split second the court opens on Monday.” Of course, as we noted, you can file lawsuits 24/7. And yet, as t…
... Finally, this isn’t exactly a “problem” with the lawsuit, but I’ll just note the conflict in two separate statements:
X Corp. and Elon Musk are a critical Media Matters target because X is the most prominent online platform that permits users to share all viewpoints, whether liberal or conservative, and Mr. Musk is the most prominent voice on the platform and a passionate supporter of free speech.
That’s in paragraph 41 on pages 11 and 12. On Page 14 in the prayer for relief we get this:
A preliminary and permanent injunction ordering Defendants to immediately delete, take down, or otherwise remove the article entitled “As Musk Endorses Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory, X Has Been Placing Ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity Next to Pro-Nazi Content From Its Web” from all websites and social media accounts owned, controlled, or operated, directly or indirectly, by Defendants;
So… within the span of about 2 to 3 pages we are told that Elon Musk and exTwitter are passionate supporters of free speech that allow “all viewpoints” to be shared and that Musk is filing this lawsuit to force Media Matters to take down speech that he admits is absolutely true, but where he doesn’t like how they portrayed things.
Anyway, kudos to Elon. This really takes stupid SLAPP suits to incredible new levels. I didn’t think you’d be able to find a lawyer who would file a lawsuit so stupid, that makes you look this ridiculous, but you did it. Just like people doubted your ability to shoot rockets into space or make popular electric vehicles, I should not have doubted your ability to file absolutely nonsense SLAPP suits that are this laughable.
Google and the federal government have reached an agreement in their dispute over the Online News Act, sources tell Radio-Canada and CBC News.

The RCMP has launched a criminal investigation into Premier Doug Ford’s $8.28-billion Greenbelt land swap scandal.
“Following a referral from the Ontario Provincial Police, the RCMP ‘O’ Division’s Sensitive and International Investigations (SII) unit has now launched an investigation into allegations associated to the decision from the province of Ontario to open parts of the Greenbelt for development,” the RCMP said in a statement Tuesday.
Sajjad Hussain said he was honoured to have been appointed. He didn’t address allegations that he misappropriated millions from a Markham development.
..
Hussain and Sunrise’s co-director, Muzammil Kodwavi, had improperly diverted more than $10 million intended for the townhouse project, the receiver alleged. The money was allegedly transferred to the two directors as well as several other companies they’re affiliated with.
The receiver alleged in a Dec. 2022 court motion that the directors then cooked the books, maintaining an inaccurate ledger to conceal the true nature of transactions that “only served to enrich themselves and non-arm’s lengths parties to the detriment of the company and its creditors.”

This is the latest instance of an Ontario developer apparently trying to resell a property after getting special zoning to fast-track building.
This goes beyond just the Green Belt land swap, apparently.
"It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt. It was a mistake to establish a process that moved too fast," Ford said.
The premier said he broke a promise when he decided to open the Greenbelt for housing development.
“It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt. It was a mistake to establish a process that moved too fast,” Ford said.
