I don’t know if there are zero Renault in the US but Mozilla themselves say that Renault aren’t sold in the US:

While Renault cars haven’t been sold in the US since 1992, their cars are big in Europe, South and Central America.

So it is kind of strange to hold it against them. On the other hand that doesn’t seem to be too important because nobody cares about what they signed or not.

Thank you for that link and Thank you to Mozilla for doing those tests. I always suspected something like this but it is good to have it tested and in writing.

My only gripe with the article is this:

All of the car brands on this list except for Tesla, Renault, and Dacia signed on to a list of Consumer Protection Principles from the US automotive industry group ALLIANCE FOR AUTOMOTIVE INNOVATION, INC.

Renault and Dacia aren’t available in the US, so there is really no need for them to sign those principles. Which makes Tesla the only one where this is relevant.

I use Nextcloud with Carnet. I haven’t used Keep in years so I don’t know the current features but when I made the switch to Carnet it was very comparable.

On Nextcloud it is an app you install separately. For your phone you’ll find Carner on f-droid. Sadly there is no client for iOS. Link https://www.getcarnet.app/

Das waren ganz eindeutig fünf geistig verwirrte Einzelpersonen, die zufällig am gleichen Ort ähnliche Parolen von sich gegeben haben. Das sollte aber auf keine Fall von der massiven Zunahme der linken Gewalt in Deutschland ablenken! Stoppt den linken Terror!

Und im Ernst: Ganz großen und aufrichtigen Dank an die Leute, die unter Gefahr für Leib und Leben den rechten Arschlöchern ihre Grenze gezeigt haben. Wir brauchen viel mehr Leute wie euch!

I changed it back to the standard font. If it’s more accessible that way I’m all for it.

Oh, wow, thanks for bringing this to my attention! I had no idea. I mean now that I know it, it seems kinda logical… The classic mistake of a person not dependent on accessibility tech.

You can set a displayed name in your profile and you can use Unicode characters for it. I use an Android app called “Stylish Text” for conversion but I am sure there are countless other options out there.

I don’t know that specific site but lots of porn sites used to do those “preview of the day” things with a date or iterator in the URL.

I remember writing a simple script/page (must have been around 2002) where you could just paste a URL with wildcards and the wildcards could be iterated from x to y. It even checked if the generated linked page existed or threw http errors. It was amazing, how many links I collected and never visited again. The things you do for porn…

Below Deck Sailing Yacht and Subnautica - I imagine it would be kind of like Waterworld but with stewards and a chef? I think I like it.

I block basically all of the cartoon porn. Just not my cup of tea.

Weird thing though: I subscribe to a very few communities there because I like the occasional nudity in my news feed. Browsing by Subscribed I almost never get posts from there even though they are active. Only every now and then something comes through. I wouod expect a slightly higher frequency.

I got a laptop with a USB-C port which supports external monitors. Does anyone know what I would need to use my iPad Pro as a second monitor with this port? Or would I have to use the HDMI port with peripherals like in the link?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes, and I honestly don’t get it? Even NSFW is still available in Relay. What are they doing differently?

Nice! My mom used to do that.

European rivals of Chelsea and Wolves call for inquiry into Saudi spending spree

Exclusive: Saudi Pro League officials are in London this week to discuss deals with both clubs who are trying to meet FFP rules By Tom Morgan, Sports News Correspondent 19 June 2023 • 10:03pm

European rivals of Chelsea and Wolves are calling for fair market investigations into Saudi Arabia’s dramatic haul of big money signings. One top club says teams are using the Saudi Pro League as a “get out of FFP jail free card” while the state embarks on its £500m player spree. The league, which has already signed Karim Benzema this summer, is now turning its attention to Premier League targets.

Telegraph Sport understands the competition, underwritten by Saudi’s Public Investment Fund, is in London this week to clinch a host of deals. It is thought Chelsea alone were originally presented with a proposal for five players amounting to more than £100 million - although one of them, Romelu Lukaku, has since rejected an offer.

The situation is dream timing for clubs attempting to offload star names but is already drawing warnings from rival clubs about potential market distortions.

With negotiations at various different stages for Hakim Ziyech, Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, rivals are demanding scrutiny, not least because the deals could play a major part in ensuring Chelsea and other clubs are able to meet the Premier League’s financial rules next year.

Wolves could also take a major step towards satisfying FFP after agreeing a £47m deal to sell captain Ruben Neves to Al Hilal. The Premier League handbook already has a Fair Value Assessment Protocol that must be followed by clubs, but one leading European rival suggested “live investigations” into all the Saudi deals were needed from Uefa due to the scale of potential player investments.

“PIF has so many investments around the world that it should be compelled to prove there are no conflicts of interest as it spends big with its bottomless pit of cash on ageing players,” said one European club, on condition of anonymity. “Watch clubs use Saudi this summer across Europe as a get out of FFP jail free card. It becomes even murkier should PIF have investment interest in both the selling and buying club.”

This sudden spending spree from PIF, a consortium of which owns Newcastle, comes after the fund took over four clubs - including Al Hilal. The plan is to rapidly grow their values ahead of privatising the teams.

Chelsea sources claim interest in their players is purely transactional and down to the club’s popularity in the Middle East. The club denies that PIF has any existing financial interest in the club, despite reports that Clearlake, which owns about 60 per cent of Chelsea, has prior minority investment from PIF. Chelsea reported a loss of £121 million for last season

Todd Boehly and Jonathan Goldstein, two leading figures in the club’s ownership structure, have been linked with separate business ventures with the huge wealth fund as recently as last summer. Real estate firm Cain International, which lists Goldstein as CEO and Boehly as board members, launched a joint project with PIF in August in a $900million investment in luxury hotel group Aman.

Although Chelsea maintain they were already confident about meeting profit and sustainability rules, significant player outgoings were inevitable after £600 million was spent in the past two transfer windows. The club reported a loss of £121 million for last season, despite making a large profit on player sales, and that followed losses of £153.4 million for 2020-21.

Kieran Maguire, a lecturer in football finance at Liverpool University, told Telegraph Sport “if the fees look unusual” then the Premier League could investigate the matter further.

However, he added: “What they can’t do is look at the equally big issue of Chelsea needing to shift costs off their payroll.” Sources close to Chelsea maintained PIF has “zero financial interest or any other interest in Chelsea” and that had been thoroughly vetted at the time of the acquisition.

Clearlake has made approximately 450 investments unrelated to Chelsea and has invested with or received investment from approximately 400 investors across six continents, an insider added. Potential deals this summer will be “purely transactional”.

The Saudi spending splurge, meanwhile, is part of the kingdom’s Vision 2030, which aims for the revenue of the league to increase to £400 million annually by 2030. State sources are defiant over deals being offered. They point to the rapid success at Newcastle in recent years, saying Western scepticism is being overcome.
