JFC, the #article13 negotiations are so incoherent that earlier this week, the European TV, film and sports rightsholders said they should be halted. Now the *recording industry* says they it’s broken. It was their idea! https://www.ifpi.org/downloads/17_Jan_2019_European_Creatives_and_Rightsholders_Caution_that_New_Draft_of_Article_13_Requires_Urgent_Changes_in_Key_Areas.pdf

Sometimes the reader mode button isn't available in firefox. TIL prefixing the URL with about:reader?url= helps. Reader mode is also a nice workaround for some sites that have nasty full-screen GDPR popups that I don't want to accept.

oh this is so easy on my eyes, at last: the #gdpr parsed from the official XML, and rendered as plain HTML in all the official EU languages. https://gdpr.dataskydd.net/

Lies That WikiLeaks Tells You:

I decided to fact-check some of the items on the list of 140 "false and defamatory" things journalists aren't allowed to say about WikiLeaks and Julian Assange

I've been hacking on an ancient #thinkpad r50e. Despite best efforts, I can't get the thing to wake up properly from suspend or hibernate.

Goes to bed as expected, and won't wake up.

Would love some help if you have any ideas.

Debian minimal install with i3wm. Acpi appears functional, acpi-support configured correctly by every guide I could find.

I'm stumped at this point, and not closing the lid without a plan. :)

Last night I facilitated some very silly games.

One was a collaborative game, in the form of navigating around a room in a specific pattern similar to a smartphone's unlock code in order to solve a puzzle.

The catch? Every false step has a vicious and hilarious death trap. Participants are required to act out appropriate death scenes when they fail.

'Death by karaoke' remains my favorite item on this particular map, with players choking on their own intentionally poor singing.

Anyone know where I can grab a digital copy of the Elmer Rice play "The Adding Machine" ?

It should be freely available now, but I'm not finding it at the usual suspects. I have a physical copy, but it's a newer publication and I'd like to see an original with illustrations.

Gutenberg confirms this version was published 1923, so any assistance appreciated!
