Report links pulpwood estate clearing Bornean orangutan habitat to RGE Group
news.mongabay.com/2024/03/repo…
JAKARTA — Indonesia is experiencing a resurgence in forest clearance due to the expansion of pulpwood and oil palm plantations, reversing years of declining deforestation associated with these two industries. And at the forefront of this new wave of deforestation is a single company: PT Mayawana Persada.

Part of me feels like Morgan Freeman, who remarked about Black History Month, "I don't want a month. Black History is American History."
Our trans brothers and sisters are our HUMAN brothers and sisters. A day doesn't really cut it, though I understand the sentiment.

Cool, I'll improve in a language that is not my native tongue. Appreciate the suggestion, honestly, no sarcasm involved.
But of course that's the main point in my message, right?
Long version: Look, I find you knowledgable and I enjoy reading you most of the time. Cool.
Also, I lived through the whole SCO thing and I KNOW how the term came to be something.
So, if you'd rather have me not using FUD outside of a very specific context, ok! But I've been reading about this xz thing because my work needs me to, and I find it unnecessary to have a board saying UPDATE NOW when most distros are not using the backdoored library other than rolling releases.

A Microcosm of the interactions in Open Source projects
Originally a thread on Twitter about the xz/liblzma vulnerability, when I finished typing it, I realized I had a real world slice of Open Source interaction that deserved more attention.robmensching.com

Language fixes:
Why is a group of squid called a shoal when it should be called a squad?
Jet ski. Dumb name. Obviously it is a Boatercycle.
"Randomized Double Blind Trial" should be "Trick or Treatment".
Bee Hotels - lil wooden structure that solitary bees can nest in from time to time.
That's great - support local wildlife etc. But seriously, who was the marketing genius that decided NOT to call them all "Bee & Bee"s?
Narwhals should be renamed tunacorns.
Hemorrhoids should be assteroids.

My thoughts on this xz/liblzma stuff[0] is that we're reaching a boiling point where no one checks anything. Until we make simpler systems with less moving parts this will continue to happen.

"LIke spam" and (nearly) empty profile
As I said earlier, I very rarely recommend #FediBlock distinct accounts, not for a different view on things (that would be personal) but for malicious behavior, like spammers do.
Here is the account, I recommend considering blocking:emilyii99@diaspora-fr.org
The account itself has only an avatar image and #watch #my #secret #video written as a profile bio. That is very typical for spammers. Also it doesn't post or comment anything.
Here is a screenshot:
EDIT: Looks like her real name is Jessica Albos: tineye.com/search/?url=https%3…
This is typical for "nude avatar spammers", who grab a model's or leaked pictures of an attractive looking woman and then abuse it for attracting clicks to them. The last step doesn't actively happen here, but her watch my secret video should lure horny young men to her profile outside Diaspora.

Have you committed to keeping the app interfaces stable and standardized yet, such that app developers will no longer feel unwelcome by having to chase moving targets as Nextcloud versions change?
Apps like News, Social, and PicoCMS were good ideas, but they've become abandonware because you didn't follow best development practices, and you broke them. The Nextcloud app ecosystem is poorer without these apps, and cluttered with these abandonware carcasses, scaring devs away.
