Nothing better for jumping over the Make America Great Firewall!

I’m in Mexico, and on those occasions I listen to Spotify with ads, for the first time I’m hearing ads in English from universities in Canada wanting to attract students from Mexico to do masters and PhDs there.

TIL that Egyptian Islamic Jihad (who assassinated Sadat) merged with Al Qaeda in June 2001. And that Ayman al Zawahiri, one of the main orchestrators of 9/11 and bin Laden’s #2, come to Al Qaeda from Egyptian Islamic Jihad.

TIL that. Thanks. Now reading up on eusociality in hymenopterans.

Me, too.

1. “Boelter helped lead the private security firm Praetorian Guard Security Services”. Frankly, anyone who names a “security” company after the Praetorian Guard should be preemptively arrested.

2. Web site still up at time of writing.

Dr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military. He has worked for the largest U.S. oil refining company, the world’s largest food company based in Switzerland and the world’s largest convenience retailer based in Japan.

Yeah, so he’s saying he worked at a 7-11?

KDE Connect

I’ve used it a lot just to control audio or video playing on my computer from my phone. (Sometimes when I’m sat at my computer with multiple windows and workspaces open, I even find it easier just to hit my phone’s lockscreen to pause the music.)

I’m starting to use some of its other features, too. E.g. copying & pasting and sharing files between phone and computer.

There’s more too I need to explore.

(Unfortunately, sometimes I get a ‘device unreachable’ error when both devices clearly have a working connection to the same router.)

Upvoted for FreeTube.

What do you use to send YouTube links to FreeTube? Personally I’m using LibRedirect https://libredirect.github.io/

I disagree.

Especially as the people who believe in “pizza place basements” are now running the show.

An obedient drone serving the monarchy? Cry me a river!

Playing up one of the talking points Putin uses to scare people away from supporting Ukraine? Gabbard , of all people?!?

This is my shocked face. :-|

Strange, it works for me. So I’ve pasted it into the OP if you still want to read it.

Basically, use of proprietary software and services was demanded at all levels (doing tasks, submitting assignments, attending online classes, completing forms etc), especially as the pandemic picked up. Lecturers would often refuse or not even respond to his requests to use free alternatives, and some would count his not being in a Zoom or Skype meeting as an absence.

Yeah, I can’t swear I would have held firm through all that he went through.

Now imagine Mike Huckabee doing a rap in the middle.

My software chops begin and end with: 10 PRINT “HELLO, WORLD” 20 GOTO 10

Good to hear devs are working on it.
