#Introduction

I've programmed computers since 1984 (liw.fi/40/). I was part of #Linux from the beginning. I was a #Debian developer for about 20 years (1996-2018). I care about #SoftwareFreedom and #CivilLiberties. I think about #backups. My main hobby is #OpenSource development. I have too many personal projects (app.radicle.xyz/nodes/radicle.). I work on #Radicle (radicle.xyz/).

My other hobby is classic European men's style. I like to wear a #suit. Preferably with a vest.

Indicted pro-Trump lawyer who leaked emails is removed from Dominion suit

#Dominion #Voting #Systems lawyers say they will also🔶seek sanctions against Stefanie Lambert’s client 🔶in $1.6 billion #defamation #suit, former Overstock CEO #Patrick #Byrne

A pro-Trump lawyer facing criminal charges for ♦️illegally accessing Michigan voting machines ♦️after the 2020 election was ⭐️disqualified Tuesday from representing former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne ⭐️

after a judge found her and Byrne 🔹responsible for leaking up to 1 million confidential records 🔹turned over in a separate defamation lawsuit.

Stefanie Lambert was barred from representing Byrne,
a prominent funder of adherents of election misinformation,
in a $1.6 billion damages lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems,
the target of false attacks over former president Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya of Washington 🔸disqualified Lambert over violations beginning last March with her disclosure of Dominion emails to a county sheriff in southwestern Michigan 🔸and to a court filing in her own criminal case in Michigan,
despite a court order requiring that records in the defamation case be kept confidential.

“The record clearly shows that🌟 Lambert deliberately violated multiple court rules and orders
🌟and continues to do so despite having had ample warning of the consequences and assuring the Court she would comply,” Upadhyaya said,

raising the “serious concern” that she joined Byrne’s legal team
“for the sheer purpose of gaining access to and publicly sharing Dominion’s protected discovery.”

Chrysanthos

Fursona: Chrysanthos

A redesign of my fursona Chrysanthos with a ref sheet edit.

Some changes from the original design include new muscular definition, olfactory sense, dorsal fin markings, new phenotypes and updated clothes.

Drawn by Tokuya.

Chrysanthos is an anthropomorphic hourglass dolphin. They are non-binary but typically masc in appearance with slightly softer features and wider hips. Recently they have taken to new training regiments that in conjunction with some biotech enhancements has added more muscle mass and definition than is typical. The enhancements have also provided Chrysanthos with drug-glands and a kind of "sex switch" that has allowed them to explore new modes of being.

Highly intelligent, though not always wise. Chrysanthos is smart enough to get into things but not always to get out of them. Relies on luck and even charm more than cunning despite what they tell themselves. In fact there has been more than a few "thembo moments" that has led to escalations which could have been avoided.

Hailing the city of Atlantis which has been thrown outside of space and time. Chrysanthos works for an organization called the Ab Aeterno (From Forever). There they are tasked with travelling through time and performing certain actions and interventions on behalf of Ab Aeterno. They believe this is to maintain a given timeline, or certain events required, though much is left unknown to Chrysanthos and other agents.

Most of the denizens of Atlantis are either other cetaceans, both smaller and those more physically imposing than Chrysanthos. For this reason most encounters Chrysanthos has with other species is via those excursions outside of Atlantis.

Being from an advanced civilization, Chrysanthos has access to technology that borders on magical. Two common examples include:

Adjunct, a bracelet or watch-like copper-like device that is in effect a souped up "smart watch" able to communicate across space and time. It can summon tiny robotic workers that nanofabricate almost anything non-orichalcum based.

Halo, an orichalcum "hairband" that is worn a little like a crown for cetaceans. It can quickly create a fully-sealed body suit over the wearer and provides limited power-suit level support.

In a complaint against General Motors and LexisNexis Risk Solutions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Mr. Chicco accused the companies of
💥violation of privacy and consumer protection laws. 💥

c.im/@cdarwin/1121401578500800.

C.IMChuck Darwin (@cdarwin@c.im)Modern cars have been called “smartphones with wheels,” because they are connected to the internet and packed with sensors and cameras. #LexisNexis #Risk #Solutions, a data broker, has traditionally kept tabs for insurers on drivers’ moving violations, prior insurance coverage and accidents. When Romeo Chicco requested his LexisNexis file, it contained details about 258 trips he had taken in his Cadillac over the past six months. His file included the distance he had driven, when the trips started and ended, and an accounting of any #speeding and #hard #braking or #accelerating. The data had been provided by #General #Motors — the manufacturer of his Cadillac. In a complaint against General Motors and LexisNexis Risk Solutions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Mr. Chicco accused the companies of 💥violation of privacy and consumer protection laws. 💥 The lawsuit follows a report by The New York Times that, unknown to consumers, automakers have been sharing information on their driving behavior with the insurance industry, resulting in #increased #insurance #rates for some drivers. LexisNexis Risk Solutions, and another data broker called #Verisk, claim to have real-world driving behavior from ♦️millions of cars.♦️ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/14/technology/gm-lexis-nexis-driving-data.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Since Wednesday, “OnStar Smart Driver #customer #data is no longer being shared with #LexisNexis or #Verisk,” a G.M. spokeswoman, Malorie Lucich, said in an emailed statement.

“Customer trust is a priority for us, and we are actively evaluating our privacy processes and policies.”

The email failed to mention the #law #suit against GM for violating customer privacy

Photo spread of apocalyptically good looks. Young fashion is really getting keyed into the state of the world, the zeitgeist. Here’s a sneak peek at next season’s looks. Evangeline has a classic outdoorsy look, reminiscent of a different time…

I was creative director for this shoot that's just been published in The Haven on @medium.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲

I have always hated hair and dress codes.

Ties always just look like hangman nooses to me.

The most vile behaviors I've seen in my life have all come from "respectable" white business men in suits.

Whoever calls for civility in my experience has been either undermining someone's power or outright stealing from them.

And men's clothing needs a lot more color and options besides flamboyance for show.

The intelligencer on the #senate is on point…

“It’s where a barely cognizant Dianne Feinstein gets wheeled in for her🗳️& where Mitch McConnell struggles to stay on task. The same Repubs who are just so shocked at Fetterman’s outfits are largely in thrall to 🤡, who certainly has no respect for the Senate as a deliberative body or for dem in general. The real spectacle isn’t #Fetterman in his shorts, but the Senate itself. A 🐶in a #suit is still a 🐶. Let Joe Manchin bark.”
