> A new economic report issued by Deutsche Bank asserts that workers who work remotely are enjoying better economic gains than their commuting counterparts.

It's the same Deutche Bank that gladly helped launder billions of dirty money:

I remembered last Friday to call the Council and report the defective Belisha beacon at the zebra crossing outside the village shop (one with globe unlit, LED halos flashing erratically) - this week the maintenance team have shut off both beacons and locked off the entire crossing with a barrier (Belisha beacons predate zebra crossings, and indicate pedestrians have right of way, presumably the Council risks legal liability if someone is knocked down whilst the beacons are out..)

there needs to be a social network for apathetic people where instead of "boosting" or "liking" people's posts, there's an "okay" and "whatever" button

The Polish police seem to be getting instructions from above to try to repress the #PolishUprising . Your rights in an identity check or if you're detained (legal terminology similar to FR: detention != arrest):

Mail from Twitch:

"Until May of this year, streamers received fewer than 50 music-related DMCA notifications each year. Beginning in May, however, major record labels started sending thousands of DMCA notifications each week."

"This means two things:

1) if you play recorded music on your stream, you need to stop doing that.

2) if you haven’t already, you should review your historical VODs and Clips that may have music in them and delete any archives that might."

Yesterday I setup backup on my #LineageOS phone, which worked quite well. Instead of requiring root and what not, I simply use the built-in Android Backup capabilities with #SeedVault, to backup my data to #Nextcloud, using the default @nextcloud app. Very straight forward.

With a short "Today I learned"-article I hope I can share some useful knowledge.

PS: SeedVault is part of the default LineageOS 17.1 setup these days.
