WE NEED MORE THAN DEPLATFORMING

https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-deplatforming/


There is no question that social media played a role in the siege and take-over of the US Capitol on January 6.

Since then there has been significant focus on the deplatforming of President Donald Trump. By all means the question of when to deplatform a head of state is a critical one, among many that must be addressed. When should platforms make these decisions? Is that decision-making power theirs alone?

But as reprehensible as the actions of Donald Trump are, the rampant use of the internet to foment violence and hate, and reinforce white supremacy is about more than any one personality. Donald Trump is certainly not the first politician to exploit the architecture of the internet in this way, and he won’t be the last. We need solutions that don’t start after untold damage has been done.

Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.
Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken:  

Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.

Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.

Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.

Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.

These are actions the platforms can and should commit to today.

The answer is not to do away with the internet, but to build a better one that can withstand and gird against these types of challenges.

This is how we can begin to do that.

DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) is an application built with AppleScript that you can use with Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, OS X 10.8 and 10.9 to build a bootable drive from Mac OS X Lion, OS X Mountain Lion Installation or OS X Mavericks Installer program. As soon as you launch the application, it tries to find the OS X Install program with Spotlight. Then, it proposes to build a bootable install disk and make it look as nice as possible. It’s the easiest way to build an OS X Installer in a few clicks!

The Battle for Wesnoth is a Free, turn-based tactical strategy game with a high fantasy theme, featuring both single-player, and online/hotseat multiplayer combat. Fight a desperate battle to reclaim the throne of Wesnoth, or take hand in any number of other adventures...

Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host whom none can stand against! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.

Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir... step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost... lead a brutal quest to unite the orcish tribes... vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage... guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home... get revenge on the orcs by using the foul art of necromancy...

There are at least two hundred unit types, sixteen races, six major factions, and hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and only limited by your creativity — make your own custom units, create your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to eight friends—or strangers—and fight in epic multiplayer fantasy battles.

DOWNLOAD

There has been clarification since this story broke. Adobe has not released the CS2 software for free. Instead, it has cancelled its CS2 license management servers, so for those with existing licenses it is now offering downloads that do not require contact with the licensing servers. This service is only going to be available for those with existing Adobe CS2 licenses, which will be verified when creating the Adobe account to download the software.

Adobe's popular Creative Suite has been developed way beyond the capabilities of the initial versions of the software; however, older versions such as CS2 are still very powerful image-manipulation and content-creation tools. Still, they are no longer supported by the company and could cause problems or fail to run when installed on computers running the latest versions of OS X or Windows.

Nevertheless, if you have an older computer or have virtual-machine software configured with an older operating system compatible with CS2, then you should be able to get CS2 running. Unfortunately for Mac users, CS2 is a PowerPC application, so it will require the use of either an Intel Mac running OS X 10.4 through 10.6 with the Rosetta translator installed, or the use of an older PowerPC Mac.

The only versions of the OS X client that Apple supports in virtualization are those that do not include the Rosetta translator (OS X 10.7 and higher) which is required for running older PowerPC code on an Intel-based Mac. Therefore, while you can either virtualize the Server versions of OS X 10.6 (which is rather expensive and no longer available) or earlier, or hack virtualization software to allow installation of the OS X 10.6 client, the best option for current Mac users is to perhaps configure a Windows XP virtual machine and install the Windows version of CS2.

The CS2 download requires you to first get an Adobe account and a CS2 license, then download the installer from the CS2 downloads page.

Since this release, the Adobe Web site has been flooded with activity, so you may have to either wait for it to come back online, or access the download links directly through the SlickDeals Web site (the previous link on this page direct-links to Adobe's servers).

Η εφαρμογή Facebook Messenger για iOS μόλις αναβαθμίστηκε με την προσθήκη νέας λειτουργίας για την αποστολή ηχογραφημένων φωνητικών μηνυμάτων στους χρήστες του κοινωνικού δικτύου.

Αποκλειστικά για τους χρήστες iOS του Καναδά η αναβάθμιση περιλαμβάνει (δοκιμαστικά) και δυνατότητα πραγματοποίησης δωρεάν VoIP κλήσεων μέσω WiFi ή 3G, η οποία καλώς εχόντων των πραγμάτων θα είναι σύντομα διαθέσιμη και στον υπόλοιπο κόσμο.

Παρόλο που αυτή τη στιγμή υπάρχουν δεκάδες εφαρμογές που κάνουν λίγο πολύ το ίδιο (WhatsApp, Viber, Skype κ.α.), αυτοί που χρησιμοποιούν το Facebook είναι σαφώς πολύ περισσότεροι. Η νέα λειτουργία θα είναι το κερασάκι στην τούρτα για τους παρόχους κινητής τηλεφωνίας οι οποίοι μάλιστα στο παρελθόν έχουν ζητήσει από τις Google, Apple και Facebook να πληρώνουν για τη χρήση των δικτύων τους.

Επιπλέον, τον περασμένο μήνα ακούστηκαν έντονες φήμες ότι η Facebook σχεδιάζει να εξαγοράσει την δημολέστατη εφαρμογή messaging WhatsApp, ενώ πρόσφατα η εταιρεία προχώρησε σε συμφωνία με τη γαλλική πάροχο Orange για τη δημιουργία μιας νέας υπηρεσίας  “κοινωνικών κλήσεων” μέσω του Facebook ονόματι Party Call.

Το Facebook Messenger μπορείτε να το κατεβάσετε δωρεάν από το iTunes.

Join the lucrative trade of crystal mining! Navigate through deadly asteroid fields, do battle with menacing pirates and loathsome scavengers, and gather wealth for the purchase of powerful weapons and power-ups in this arcade style asteroids game.

In the year 2149 giant asteroid fields are revealed in the far reaches of space - fields highly concentrated with crystals of incredible value. Suddenly, untold wealth is up for grabs - that is, for those who dare venture to it. Thousands of the bravest pilots and most remorseless pirates blast off to claim (and steal!) their fortunes.

The most ambitious of these individuals call themselves the Argonauts, honest and brave adventurers, one and all. Their ship of choice is the Argo, a dual thruster fighter capable of housing laser blasters as well as missiles, bombs, and other technology to fend off pirates and other aggressors.

Though Argonauts are known to help each-other out in times of great peril, the vast isolation of space holds great dangers. Argonauts constantly battle with pirates and greedy scavengers just to stay alive. As you fly off into the depths of space to join the ranks of the Argonauts you ask yourself, do have what it takes to hold your ground in the chaos of the crystal mines?

The True Meaning of Simplicity

Other task lists, GTD apps, and to-do lists may be easy to use. Some have fantastic interfaces, others not so much.

One thing that other to-do lists don't have is simplicity. SimpleTask for Mac brings both a beautiful interface and an unparalleled ease of use to your Mac.


All from the Keyboard

Adding a task is as simple as hitting Enter. From there you can type in your information, and hit Enter again to confirm. You'll never have to move your hands from the keyboard, making adding to your to-do list as simple as writing on a piece of paper.


Choose what's Important

Most other task oriented applications add a number to the dock badge for every task you add. The badge is constantly there, ignored and useless.

SimpleTask allows you to choose which tasks you want to reminded of. Now, if you have an ongoing project or a "whenever it gets done" type job, it won't show in the dock constantly, allowing the dock badge to have its job back.


Way Better than Paper

Sure, we're trying to bring the ease of the paper To-Do list to the computer, but that doesn't mean we're bringing along all its inconveniences as well.

SimpleTask automatically sorts by the date created, but you can drag them into any order you want, to prioritize your way. Tasks can be edited at any time, and if you accidentally delete a task, it's a snap to pop it right back on your Pending Task list.


Filter your Tasks

SimpleTask has a powerful live search feature that is made even more powerful by the ability to filter by Pending, Complete, and now Color Label. This strengthens the power of using colors as categories by being able to pull up any tasks matching your search in any given color.


Work your Way

SimpleTask allows you to use it as a regular application, as a menubar application, or as both at once.

While in the menubar, SimpleTask stays out of your way while keeping you aware of your important tasks.

Μετά από 3,5 χρόνια συνεχούς ανάπτυξης η νέα έκδοση του αγαπημένου GIMP, του ελεύθερου και… τούμπανου προγράμματος επεξεργασίας εικόνας κυκλοφόρησε! Τα κυριότερα χαρακτηριστικά που περιμέναμε όλοι από αυτήν τη νέα έκδοση είναι ότι η εφαρμογή τρέχει σε ένα ενιαίο παράθυρο (παλιότερα ήταν 3 διαφορετικά), η σε πολύ μεγάλο ποσοστό μεταφορά του πυρήνα της εφαρμογής στην καινούρια τεχνολογία GEGL που θα επιτρέπει τη μη καταστρεπτική επεξεργασία εικόνων και πολύ καλύτερη ποιότητα, καλύτερη υποστήριξη για layers, και άλλα που μπορείτε να δείτε στα release notes!

Να σημειωθεί ότι πριν καιρό, ένας από τους βασικούς developers του gimp για προσωπικούς λόγους είχε αποχωρήσει από την ομάδα ανάπτυξης με αποτέλεσμα η κυκλοφορία της νέας έκδοσης να καθυστερήσει αρκετά (3.5 χρόνια!). Βέβαια, πλέον οι developers ατενίζουν το μέλλον με αισιοδοξία και το μόνο σίγουρο είναι στο μέλλον θα δούμε την ήδη υψηλή ποιότητα της εφαρμογής να ανεβαίνει κατακόρυφα!

System Preferences in Lion only allows for configuring scrollbars globally. But one setting that applies to all applications does not reflect that for some tasks seeing/not seeing a scrollbar can be crucial (such as always showing a scrollbar for programs where you edit text/code vs. hiding it for web surfing). For those times when you wish you could change the system default for certain applications, now you can! LionScrollbars allows you to configure scrollbar settings on a per-application basis, so you never need to be frustrated by this again!
