www.pan-europe.info Glyphosate EU Commission rejects request to cancel re-approval, NGOs go to EU court

On 26 June 2024, the European Commission rejected the formal request by PAN Europe and 5 of its member NGOs to review the 10-year re-approval of glyphosate. The NGOs plan to challenge the decision in court and have 2 months to file a court challenge. In parallel to this legal procedure, all EU Membe...

This is relevant because more and more often there's suggestions that Parkinson disease (affecting even thirty year young people!) is related to the use of Glyphosate.

Pi-hole setup help
  • Am I overlooking something ? Configure your TV to get IP address and DNS settings via DHCP from your pi-hole WiFi access point. If you are worried about a DHCP conflict, just make sure that the IP range that both DHCP servers hand out have a different range, and check whether your devices always got the same IP address before, and adjust the ranges accordingly.

  • “the lesson *I'm* choosing to take from xz, as an oss maintainer, is that anyone trying to pressure or guilt me into doing something should immediately be told no, for security reasons”
  • In some open source projects there is a lot of leeching and little contributions.

    In 2020 the sole developer of Invidious stepped away from development because of burn out. https://omar.yt/posts/stepping-away-from-open-source

    Also in 2020 developer Raymond Hill archived the uMatrix browser add-on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24532973

    I will never hand over development to whoever, I had my lesson in the past -- I wouldn't like that someone would turn the project into something I never intended it to become (monetization, feature bloat, etc.). At most I would archive the project and whoever is free to fork under a new name. For now I resisted doing this, so people will have to be patient for new stable release.

    What would actually help is that people help to completely investigate existing issues instead of keep asking me to add yet more features. Turns out people willing to step in the code to investigate and pinpoint exactly where is an issue (or that there is no issue) is incredibly rare.

  • Linux error starter pack
  • Can you insert Lp0 on fire as well ? :) https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/7306628

    lp0 on fire (aka Printer on Fire) is a semi-obsolete error message still generated on some Unix/Linux operating systems in response to certain types of printer errors. lp0 is the Unix device handle for the first line printer, but the error can be displayed for any printer attached to a Unix/Linux system.

  • Talking to normies about privacy:
  • Your comment suggests that it is pointless to avoid tracking. In 2019 journalist Kashmir Hill tried to live without the tech giants and failed : I Tried to Live Without the Tech Giants. It Was Impossible.

    But if you look a bit deeper at this, my conclusion is that it all depends on your needs and your habits. It is quite possible to minimize the amount of tracking that is done.

    And doing so makes me feel a bit more relaxed personally about the surveillance capitalism circus and that is well worth it.
