There is no way to square letting some #NI murderers & torturers go free for the political convenience of English politicians with ECHR Article 6 (right of access to a court) and Article 13 (right to an effective remedy). Plus, regardless of Tory desires or UK legislation, the ECHR applies in NI through the GFA.

Was haben meine Zähne mit Cyber-Security zu tun? Ich war heute Morgen beim Zahnarzt zur Zahnreinigung und dort gab es etwas mehr Unruhe. Grund: Eine neue Software wurde eingeführt, weil die alte end-of-life (EOL) war. Gut, gerade da, wo mit Patientendaten gearbeitet wird, ist der sorgsame Umgang mit IT-Security wichtig, dazu gehört definitiv auch die Ablösung von EOL-Software. #eol #legacy #cybercrime #cybersecurity #patienten #gesundheitswesen
#Israeli & #Palestinian #PeaceActivists are #mourning 74-year-old #Canadian Israeli peace activist #VivianSilver after she was confirmed killed on October 7 during the #Hamas attack on #KibbutzBeeri, where she lived.
Silver’s friend/colleague Samah Salaime, a Palestinian #FeministActivist, says Silver would have pushed for #dialogue to find a #PeacefulSolution to the conflict. “This was her #legacy, and this is what we have to march for and fight for after her death.”

It is particularly important to bear in mind that we are not just " #developing #code ", here: we are creating a " #lasting #legacy #educational #resource" for other people to learn from, and for #businesses and #students alike to be able to use, learn from and augment for their own purposes.
A phrase that hits differently if you are a Software Developer:
_This is your legacy now_
For normal people: 'This is your legacy' means leaving behind a positive impact. 💀 For developers it means debugging code someone wrote in 2005 and praying it doesn't haunt you in your dreams.🤣
I recently published my 100th post on this blog. An exciting milestone!
After passing the big 100, I’ve found myself pondering why I’ve been doing this.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process of blogging. But it is a time consumer. It is effort.
That effort made me spend some time thinking about the classic and vital question that should be regularly asked about any endeavor we spend time and effort...

That one of our beloved "Friends" had met his end -

@beka_valentine @astraluma that's why late terminals like the #VT525 were mostly a #legacy drop-in replacements and only got used in old installations.
The closest to #Terminals we've got today are #ThinClients but those are just regular #computers made with low-power #embedded / #mobile chips and customized with a minimalist (usually #Linux distro) OS that only does allow for making a #RemoteDesktop session...
Useability-Wise this makes it a replacement as the actual "computing" is elsewhere.

Regarding the blocking of Canadian news, can we at least place the #blame where it belongs?
#Canadian #Legacy #Media convinced the #government of #Canada to pass a law forcing #Facebook and #Google to pay to show snippets of, and #link to, Canadian news articles.
So Facebook and Google had a choice: they could continue to do this, and pay for the privilege, or they could stop linking to it. There was no third option.

Techies: So, #Facebook and #Google were driving #traffic to your #websites by showing #summaries of your #stories, with links back to your sites. Making them #pay to do so made no sense, to them or anyone else, so they stopped linking to your sites.
#Canadian #Legacy #Media: That's bad.

CLM: #Little media.

Techies: Anyways... #Facebook started doing the same thing. They showed an #excerpt, and #linked back to your sites. So lots and lots and lots more people visited your websites than you were getting before.
#Canadian #Legacy #Media: Right. The #IT #nerds said we had to make our sites more #scaly or something.
Techies: Uh, right. So you were getting the #benefit of that #web #traffic. You should have been #selling #subscriptions or something. Or propeller beanies.
CLM: Ooh.
13/x
Techies: So, anyways... #Google started #featuring #synopses of your #stories on their #news and #search #pages, which gave people an idea of what the story was, and a #link to your site so they could read the whole thing.
#Canadian #Legacy #Media: We remember that. The #nerds said they could tell where the #traffic was coming from. We said it always comes from the left, so look that way first.
Techies: Maybe it was fifth percentile.
#Government: Big Tech ...
Techies: Cram it.
12/x
Techies: See, the way it worked was, you #posted #stories on your #websites. The only people who would see your stories were those who typed "wha-wha-wha dot canadianmedia dot com" into their #browsers and came to your websites.
#Canadian #Legacy #Media: Oh, ya, we remember. The #IT #nerds said we weren't getting many visitors or something. We told them to send out more #invitations.

Getting this as a notification over at #Facebook / #Meta. Makes me wonder if there is an active way to get #News #WorldNews here on the #Fediverse / #Mastodon cause this here hurts as a person who loves to stay up to date in the world news.
It's the top reason why I absolutely despise #Tweetdeck going #Xpro and losing #Legacy over on #Twitter / #X .
@smokeygeo @gwagner If something has a negative impact on minorities that have suffered unimaginable injustices that persist to this day then that something is, um, wrong? It seems sensible that lawmakers consider making that something illegal. There is an investigation of the issue. Have you seen the Harvard stats? Also, just because something else contributed to the continuing inequity does not mean that #legacy #admission are ok.
Time to re-up this 2004 letter to #Harvard Magazine.
2 decades & 2 kids (age 10 & 12) later, same words still apply: "Should [our kids] ever decide to apply to and be accepted at Harvard, we would not want them to have any doubt in their minds that it is because of their abilities and future potential—not because their parents are Harvard alumni. We urge Harvard to end its policy of favoring children of alumni in the college admissions process."

Biden Administration to investigate #legacy #admissions at Harvard, or the practice of affirmative action for white people. Earlier studies have shown that without legacy admissions, Harvard could achieve racial balance/diversity goals. #highereducation https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/25/us/politics/harvard-admissions-civil-rights-inquiry.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Update. If #universities believe they need #legacy #admissions to keep up alumni donations, note that #JohnsHopkins phased out legacy admissions (2010-2020) and even increased alumni donations.

My father #jeanpierreetchemaite died in September 2021. He was a #painter all his life since the age of 15, and left a huge wonderful #legacy, that I decided to digitize (foolish enterprise, I know) #art #painting #scanning #photography. I'm not sure yet how I should share it with the world.
