Nearly two years after complaining to Hockey Canada about bullying and sexual misconduct on a Hamilton youth hockey team, a family is relieved they don’t have to keep it secret anymore.

“The big win is we can now talk about it,” said the mother of one of the victims. “The public needs to know when maltreatment is taking place and what the sanctions are.”

It found the team had a "toxic" culture and that coaches breached dressing room policy by “failing to properly supervise the dressing rooms.”

The six players denied any involvement and the coaches denied any knowledge of the activities.

As weird as the title sounds, my family really dislikes me using Tuta and not Gmail. Is your family also like this?

"Come on, Sarah, can't you just be normal and use Gmail like everyone?"

I dunno if it's possible but it would be very fun to know week by week what emoji was most used on Hexbear. Feels like a very silly and fun way to temperature check how the community is feeling, what topics or things are going on, etc.

I dunno maybe it would be boring and always the same but maybe it would be fun and engaging.

Anyway in lieu of that my personal emoji of the week is , between the shutdown ending and the Mamdani posting it's gotten me a lot of milage.

“If adopted, these amendments would not simplify compliance but hollow out the GDPR’s and ePrivacy’s core guarantees: purpose limitation, accountability, and independent oversight,” Itxaso Dominguez de Olazabal, from the European Digital Rights group, told EUobserver.

The draft includes adjustments to what is considered “personal data,” a key component of the GDPR and protected by Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

Recently I discovered something called data-oriented design and I thought it was such a brilliant concept. Here are other references I recommend:

• A book available online freely https://www.dataorienteddesign.com/dodbook/
• I think this is the first blog post about the concept https://gamesfromwithin.com/data-oriented-design
• Data-Oriented Design and C++ - A talk by Mike Acton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc

Seriously thinking on working on this.

The caravan of executions started with a US Army veteran in March.

It continued in May with a former Army Ranger who served in the Gulf War, then an Air Force veteran in July, a former National Guard member in August, and a Navy veteran in October.

This week, a former Marine, and next week, yet another Army veteran are scheduled to die in what Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has called the “most veteran-friendly state in the nation.”

He’s the one who signed all seven of their death warrants. The governor wielding the executioner’s pen is a Navy veteran himself.
