Do you waddle the waddle?

wrote to Evri today, early in the morning to be more specific, opening a second ticket after they had made an error by automation. Finally, after a week, I received a reply. Only after opening two tickets and further chasing the first (unhandled) one.
he 24th of August is Ukraine’s Independence Day, not just Rianne’s birthday. She happens to know someone born on the same day (same year, too, so literally hours apart) and she sometimes sees her.
wrote something yesterday and it is something that seems to have attracted attention. My point was, sometimes the court says “you won”, but in reality it’s a bit like poker face (crossposted for emphasis with another title). Sometimes the judge knows upfront no money will be paid, as it simply cannot be paid, but then follows the procedures to set the records right for the court, not for parties. That’s just how the system works.
ne week ago I wrote about Evri going really rogue, run by bots, and getting very basic things very wrong.
adopted Gemini Protocol 6 years ago, a year after it was conceived. It has since then worked OK and several of our team nowadays manage capsules. The community has grown and people who read Geminispace have joined IRC (which is also nowadays managed by several of us; it is a neat little project of ours).
oday I became aware of a site that goes a long way back and is run by a person I know and follow. It’s “a new age website I started in the late nineties that at one time had about 10,000 articles,” she told me. Along the side, in the sidebar, it says “Now on FOSS Force” (so the connection is not hard to see).

HREE years ago we kickbanned a number of connected individuals from Techrights IRC because illegal things had been done. 2 years later a judge at the UK High Court acknowledged that bad things had been done; the issue was, there was a burden of proof put on us to show evidence of attribution and Tor was used by the perpetrators (several of them in the mix).
Yesterday: Offline Birthdays
There are some trust issues again in AUR. We wrote about that (yes, it is happening again) in:
Don't panic. This is not a new issue. The key thing is, stick to trustworthy sources and applications that have reputation, from reputable sources. This is applicable to every platform, not just "Linux". █
