  • Challenger explosion was 38 years ago today; Naples’ readers recall eventNaples Daily News

    On this date, Jan. 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members aboard.

    The spacecraft disintegrated 46,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 a.m.

    On Jan 27, 2011, for the 25th anniversary of that tragic day, the Naples Daily News asked readers to recall what they were doing on that day.

    “I was teaching the fifth grade at Poinciana Elementary in a portable,” said Ann R. Dilbone of Naples. “I told my students that if the sky was clear we had a good chance to see it if we went outside. And sure enough we saw it rising in the sky, a beautiful white plume beyond the pine trees over Airport Road. It was thrilling. But suddenly it split apart and my students said, ‘What does that mean?’ And I answered, ‘I think I know, but I’m not sure. We’ll go back in and put our heads on our desks for a few minutes.’ Then I explained what I thought had happened and it turned out to be correct!”

    Marian Barford of Naples: "We had attended Super Bowl XX where the Chicago Bears had obliterated the New England Patriots at the Superdome in New Orleans. We had enjoyed a beautiful visit to that wonderful city and had arrived at the airport in a most upbeat mood. The TVs were on in the bars in the airport and as we walked by toward our gate, we decided to stop and watch the launch.

    "As Challenger exploded there was an audible gasp followed by total silence throughout the entire airport. As passengers approached the area and were told what was happening, they too fell into silence. We boarded our flight to Newark and rode home, all in total silence or soft whispers. The silence would be broken only occasionally by the pilot breaking in with a news update. It is a truly sad and heartbreaking memory.”

  • 80 years ago today, Wilma Mankiller, a Native American activist, social worker, community developer and the first woman elected to serve as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, was born.

  • Is included in linked site:

    John Erling: The name Mankiller, what is the background to the name?Wilma Mankiller: It really was a title. In Cherokee historical times there was a central government but a lot of the communities had a very strong local decentralized government structure as well. And one of the titles for one of the leaders in a, one of these villages was called a Mankiller and that’s what it translates into English is Mankiller, so when the census – I assume this is how this happened, when the census of the Unites States Government started taking census rolls of Cherokees, the guy with the title put down Mankiller as his name, and that’s who we trace our ancestry back to. At that time Cherokees only used one name, they didn’t have a first name and a last name.

  • Piefed now has a built-in alternative to Lemmyverse to discover and search for active communities, with the "Active people" filter on the communities page (weekly basis)

    Jump

  • This post only says that the Lemmyverse data "is used to suggest search results to people when adding a remote community." Is this data also included in the communities page?

    Another thought about the linked post: Removing inactive communities from the Lemmyverse data is certainly a good thing for stuff like "technology", "memes", "news" etc., but if you're looking for a community about a very niche topic you might even be interested in an inactive community without active alternatives to perhaps "revive" it with your posts.

  • One important thing about Lemmyverse is that you can search for communities your instance isn't "aware of" yet. Seeing the "Add remote community" button, I guess this is something that's not possible with Piefed's community search?

  • Google's practice of requiring Gmail addresses for user accounts is illegal, according to a German court ruling. The parent company of GMX and Web.de (Ionos) had filed a lawsuit.

  • I'm confused: So you needed a Gmail address for a Google user account, but how can you have a Gmail address without a Google user account?

    Jump

  • Translation:

    A German court has ruled that Google’s practice of requiring users to use Gmail addresses for their accounts is unlawful. The lawsuit was brought by the parent company of GMX and Web.de.

    The Regional Court of Mainz delivered a partial legal victory for the German email provider GMX/Web.de against the US tech giant, prohibiting Google from favoring its own Gmail service when users set up an Android smartphone and create a Google account. A Google account is required, for example, to access the Google Play app store or to log in to YouTube. According to the court, for a long time, setting up such an account required a Gmail address, while email addresses from GMX.de and Web.de could not be used or only with difficulty—putting Google’s competitors at a disadvantage.

    Parent company 1&1 must bear part of the court costsHowever, the court dismissed parts of the lawsuit, meaning 1&1, as the parent company of GMX/Web.de and the plaintiff in the case, must cover three-quarters of the procedural costs. The ruling is not yet final, and the case is expected to proceed to the next instance. Google has already filed an appeal.

    Login now also possible with phone numberGoogle has already changed the behavior criticized in the lawsuit: Since May, users have been able to provide just a phone number during setup. However, Google still automatically creates a Gmail address—which, according to the court, is insufficient.

    In its lawsuit, 1&1 referred to the new EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), which has been in force since 2024 and strengthens the rights of consumers and smaller companies against tech giants like Apple or Google. The underlying assumption is that major platform operators are so powerful that they could cement their market position and must therefore treat their own services and those of competitors equally.

    1&1: EU regulations are taking effect1&1 expressed satisfaction with the ruling. “This is a good sign for competition and consumer choice,” said Michael Hagenau, managing director of GMX and Web.de. Millions of users could now consciously choose a European provider with strict data protection instead of Gmail. He called it “a tangible signal for digital sovereignty.”

    Google welcomed the fact that most of the claims were rejected, but expressed concern that the decision undermines the DMA’s goal of harmonizing rules. “We are concerned that the ruling undermines the DMA’s efforts to harmonize regulations,” the American company stated.
