It's seen in Dr. Korby's underground living quarters on Exo III in #StarTrekTOS' "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". Unlike the skull, which is just of a similar making, this is the actual prop that appeared both on #TOS in 1966 and in #Columbo in 1971. Another mystery solved. 😄 2/2

"#Bluesky's #ToS contain a "binding arbitration" waiver that forces users to surrender the right to sue Bluesky no matter how the company harms them. This is so pro-enshittificatory, it's like a landing strip for the sole use of Enshittification Airlines, which can land a 747 full of enshittfying nonsense on Bluesky's users every 10 minutes, around the clock, without worrying about any legal repercussions."

Why the reliably wonderful @pluralistic thinks that although #Bluesky improves in many important ways over legacy social media, he won't be joining the service.
TLDR: It's Bluesky's "very bad" #ToS.

🤬 Microsoft bans LibreOffice developer's account without warning, rejects appeal • Neowin
｢ Recently, we reported on LibreOffice, accusing Microsoft of intentionally using complex file formats as a tactic to lock in users to Microsoft Office, hindering open source alternatives like LibreOffice.
Now, Microsoft has banned LibreOffice developer, Mike Kaganski, from using its services, citing an "activity that violates [its] Services Agreement" ｣
@jbz I hope @EUCommission and others take note of this #AntiCompetitive action and will act accordingly unless #Microsoft can actually cite a valid reason.
- After all, it is neither illegal nor bannable per law to use "competitors' services and products" and even worst-case this qualifies as "cleanroom engineering" to improve #compatibility, which is desireable for both @libreoffice / #LibreOffice and #MicrosoftOffice...
#Microsoft pulling such an #AssholeMove is inexcuseable *unless they actually evidence a serious #ToS violation they could not have resolved otherwise and that banning said user was the only possible recourse to secure their own systems and/or customers' data from a malicious actor.
Y’all. Mastodon has a new Terms of Service that’s problematic. I’m hoping and cautiously optimistic that they’ll sort it out. But for now it’s not good.
@mcc wrote one of the best GitHub issues I’ve ever seen. It explains everything in great detail. Check it out if you want a full picture on the situation.
