Today in Labor History January 26, 1808: Soldiers took over New South Wales, Australia, during the Rum Rebellion. It was Australia’s only military coup. At the time, NSW was a British penal colony. William Bligh was governor of the territory. This was the same William Bligh who was an officer under Captain Cook when he attempted to kidnap the King of Hawai’i. He was also the same William Bligh who was overthrown in the Mutiny on the Bounty, in 1789. It is questionable why the British thought he’d do better in charge of a bunch of prisoners and unruly soldiers, than he did with a bunch of sailors. Perhaps they were just desperate. One of Bligh’s commissions was to reign in the Rum Corps, which held a monopoly on the illegal rum trade in Australia. They also controlled the sale of other commodities. Bligh started to enforce penalties for the illegal sale and importation of liquor. He also tried to provide relief to farmers, suffering from recent flooding and price-gouging by the Rum Corps, by providing provisions from the colony’s stores. The monopolists didn’t like his looting of the stores, from which they were profiting handsomely, nor his enforcement of the liquor laws. So, they arrested him and deported him to Hobart, Van Diemen’s Land. The military remained in control of NSW until 1810.

Taitaa olla se aika vuodesta kun ihmiset alkavat valittamaan vihreistä kuulista, bountyista ja konvehtirasioista. Voin antaa osoitteeni, johon voit lähettää kaikki herkut ja säästyä mielipahalta.

Rakastan Bountya, Vihreitä kuulia, marmeladimakeisia, marmeladisuklaata ja jopa konvehtirasian ananassuklaata. Tänne niitä kuin olisi jo, joulukilot eivät tule ilman vaivannäköä! 🫡

Hey @libreoffice also while we're at it, I submitted a bunch of serious bugreports and I think I'm ready to pay someone for fixing them (unless it costs thousands of dollars), because I want to escape Microsoft products so bad but LibreOffice writer just has a bunch of bugs that make it impossible to produce large documents consistently.

Maybe some people will find this reply and respond. Thanks.

Aufruf zur vorweihnachtlichen #Schwachstellensuche bei #Porsche: Porsche startet nun sein eigenes #Bug #Bounty-Programm, um seine vernetzten Produkte cybersicherer zu machen - im Vorgriff auf EU #CRA, #UNECE und Co., wo ohnehin produktbezogene Meldepflichten bestehen, eine gute und richtige Entscheidung:

"Nach einem erfolgreichen Pilot-Projekt 2023 startet Porsche in diesem Jahr ein vierwöchiges Bug-Bounty-Programm."

Guess which state they're talking about! I'll give you three guesses, first two don't count! 😒

spoiler: it's TEXAS! Bet you never thought it'd be *that* state, did you? I KNOW! I was surprised too!

😠

The city is Odessa, btw, but since we're talking about Texas, it probably doesn't matter much which city it is.

🦌🌳 Protect Our Forests 🌳 🦌

Great big evergreen #trees are being cut down in North America's #BorealForest.

These magnificent trees are destroyed, just to become #tissues, #ToiletPaper and other #paper products.

The #boreal is the largest intact #forest in the world, but it won't stay that way if #logging continues to run rampant. We're urging Procter & Gamble (P&G) -- the parent company of #Charmin, #Bounty and #Puffs --
