So I hopped out of my air conditioned truck into a howling wind & 35°C (95°F) heat to snap a shot of the Parting-of-the-Ways on the Oregon Trail (1811-69) in Wyoming. The right road cut 8dys off the wagon train's journey west but required enduring 80km (50mi) without water. About 2/3rds of the 400k emigrants who traveled the Oregon Trail chose the left road. The Trail has been variously called a linear graveyard & junkyard. Thousands lost their lives on their journey west.

A few days ago, Irreal (are they on the fediverse?) posted a blog about RSI and Emacs. As usual, very interesting thoughts on Emacs.
They expressed surprise at the number of long-time Emacs users (those using Emacs 30-40 years) that had not suffered from RSI. I wonder whether one reason for that is many of us old-timers might not use significant amount of chording beyond C- (whose impact we can alleviate by switching CAPS LOCK with CTRL, of course). For instance, I usually use `ESC b` for `backward-word` instead of `M-b`. I find it much easier (on my hands) to hit the ESC key and then put my hands back on the home row for the next letter.
Just musing.
Full disclosure: my RSI, when I suffered from such many years ago now, came from mouse use and not Emacs. I no longer use the mouse and, funnily enough, this is where Emacs wins big time!
Crappy mouses are a pain.
I've spent, years ago, some good money on an evoluent vertical mouse 4.
Best money spent ever.
I used to also have some minor pain due to the mouse, but I noticed that it was because:
- The mouse was always too small.
- The wrist was pushing down the table, causing pressure on the carpal region.
Buying a good vertical mouse, rightly sized along with a good keyboard made miracles
for me.

Semenya v. Switzerland: Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights Judgment
Joint press release of the third-party interveners
Today, 10 July 2025, in a pivotal judgment, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) ruled in the case of Semenya v. Switzerland. The Court overturning its Chamber judgment of 11 July 2023 found a violation of Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair hearing) of the Convention, but held that there was no territorial link between Switzerland and Caster Semenya in respect of her other complaints under Articles 8 (right to respect for private life), 13 (right to an effective remedy) and 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the European Convention on Human Rights, declaring them, therefore, inadmissible.
The Court found, within the meaning of Article 1, that Semenya did not fall within Switzerland’s jurisdiction in respect of Articles 8, 13 and 14, on the grounds that the applicant is a South African national and the sports federation in question (World Athletics) has its seat in Monaco. The Court only acknowledged Switzerland’s jurisdiction as it applies to Article 6.
Impact of the Grand Chamber’s decision
We welcome the Grand Chamber’s finding of a violation of Article 6 § 1. A majority of judges concluded that Semenya had not benefited from the safeguards provided for in Article 6 § 1 to ensure her right to a fair hearing. The Court found that the Swiss Federal Supreme Court failed to undertake the required rigorous judicial review in light of the seriousness of the personal rights at stake in the case, namely the impact of the contested “Eligibility Regulations for the Female Classification (Athletes with Differences of Sex Development)” (“DSD Regulations”) on Semenya’s bodily and psychological integrity and identity, right to self-determination and right to exercise her professional activity.
We regret that the Court has failed in its obligation to protect fundamental rights by choosing not to examine the merits in question of Semenya’s claims of violations of her rights as guaranteed by Articles 8, 13 and 14 of the Convention. We highly welcome the partly dissenting opinions of judges Bošnjak, Zünd, Šimáčková and Derenčinović, who state that it is “inconceivable that domestic courts, ruling within the territory of Europe, should disregard international fundamental rights obligations in area of protection of bodily integrity, equality and human dignity”.
As highlighted by judges Bošnjak, Zünd, Šimáčková and Derenčinović in their partly dissenting opinion, “The Court’s role is to protect fundamental rights. In choosing not to examine on the merits the question of the applicant’s rights as guaranteed by Articles 8 and 14 of the Convention, the Court has failed to fulfil its role in the present case.” The four judges, however, fully endorse the view of the Chamber and the majority of the Grand Chamber that Switzerland cannot be held responsible for the content of the DSD Regulations, since it played no part in their adoption. However, they state that positive obligations under Article 8, taken alone and in conjunction with Article 14, include an obligation to put in place both a legal framework to protect private life against interference by private persons and a remedy capable of providing sufficient protection.
We are further encouraged by Judge Šimáčková partly concurring opinion in which she states, “In conclusion, I should like to emphasise that the applicant was at a disadvantage vis-à-vis the IAAF, not only as a professional athlete, for the reasons set out in the present judgment, but also because she is a woman, she is black, and she is from the Global South”. These are significant considerations that the Grand Chamber seems to have disappointingly overlooked.
If national courts of States such as Switzerland which house major international sports governing bodies, including the International Olympic Committee, and many major international sports federations, do not have a positive obligation to uphold fundamental rights, specifically with respect to the present case vis-a-vis Articles 8, 13, and 14 of the Convention, then we ask, who does?
ICJ Africa Director, Kaajal Ramjathan-Keogh, stated, “The ICJ is deeply disappointed by the outcome of this case. Our joint intervention submitted that the DSD Regulations fall foul on sex characteristics as a ground for discrimination without ‘particularly weighty and convincing reasons’ by way of justification and, as a result, impermissibly discriminate against intersex athletes under Article 14. We urged the Grand Chamber to uphold the findings in the Chamber judgment establishing sex characteristics as a prohibited ground under Article 14 of the Convention. Sadly, the Grand Chamber has elected not to do so”.
“It is deeply disappointing that the Grand Chamber judgment fails to fully uphold the rights of intersex athletes,” says Dan Christian Ghattas, Executive Director of OII Europe, “The Court did not recognise that Semenya was excluded from her profession in application of blatantly exclusionary, invasive and discriminatory regulations, which are not backed by any solid evidence that could justify this difference in treatment. This is especially concerning in light of the Chamber decision of 11 July 2023, which had acknowledged this reality. However, we hope that the case will be reopened before jurisdictions in Switzerland, echoing Caster Semenya’s own words that this will hopefully pave the way for all athletes and inspiring young women to be and to accept themselves in all their diversity”.
“It is concerning that the Court fails to address the essential issues of discrimination that intersex athletes continue to face under the ‘DSD regulations’, whose impacts trickle down to grassroots level sports, limiting the ability of all intersex people to participate freely in sports, including at amateur level where the majority of sports participation lies”, says Urs Vanessa Sager, OII Europe Consultant on sports.
Katrin Hugendubel, ILGA-Europe Advocacy Director, says, “In finding that the Swiss Federal Court failed to conduct a rigorous judicial review of her case, the Court has clarified that the right to a fair trial indeed extends to sports arbitration – this is an important result, and we urge the Swiss court system to act swiftly and in line with international human rights standards.”
Facts of the case:
Caster Semenya – a South African international-level middle-distance athlete – was forced to stop participating in elite-level competitions following the International Association of Athletics Federations’ (now World Athletics), “Eligibility Regulations for the Female Classification (Athletes with Differences of Sex Development – the DSD Regulations)” requirements, which would have forced Semenya to undergo hormone treatment to decrease her natural testosterone level in order to qualify for the female category. Semenya refused this. Her failure to comply with the regulations directly resulted in her being barred from competing at the international level. In 2020, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and the Swiss Federal Court had dismissed her requests for arbitration, concluding that the DSD Regulations were “a necessary, reasonable and proportionate means of achieving the IAAF’s aims of ensuring fair competition”.
Following these developments, in February 2021, Semenya filed an application with the ECtHR. In its judgment of 11 July 2023, the Court held, by a majority, that there had been a violation of Article 14 (right to freedom from discrimination) taken together with Article 8 (right to family and private life) of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court found that Switzerland had failed to provide institutional and procedural safeguards enabling an effective examination of Semenya’s complaints before domestic authorities, who failed to properly examine Semenya’s well-founded and credible claims of discrimination on the basis of her sex characteristics.
In 2023, Switzerland requested that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR. In January 2024, OII Europe, ILGA-Europe and the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) filed a joint third-party intervention to assist the Grand Chamber in its determination of the case. The submission focused on the place of intersex athletes in competitive sports, analysing World Athletics’ constantly evolving rules, which – due to their strict prerequisites – effectively limit and/or prevent the participation of intersex athletes in international sporting competitions.

Some #Ukraine and #Russia channels in happy mutual cooperation have manipulated yesterday’s interview with former Polish President Andrzej Duda, suggesting that he ‘threatened to close the military hub in Rzeszów “for renovation”’.
Duda stated that Ukraine and its allies had underestimated Poland’s assistance and threatened to close the airport in Rzeszów, through which Western aid is delivered to Ukraine. (Dmytro Gordon 🇺🇦)Polish president threatens to close key hub for military aid supplies to Ukraine ‘for repairs’ (The Moscow Times 🇷🇺)
The full hour-long interview can be found here[^1] the fragment about Rzeszów starts from around 18:00 where Duda speaks of the complex relations between Poland and Western allies regarding support for Ukraine during his presidency (which has ended in 2025):
For example, I believe that both Ukrainians and our allies simply think that the airport in Rzeszów and our motorways belong to them, as if they were theirs. But they are not theirs, they are ours. So if someone doesn’t like something, we close it down and say goodbye. Yes, we’re renovating. We’re closing the airport in Rzeszów, and you can deliver supplies to Ukraine by sea, by air, I don’t know, drop them by parachute. Work it out if you think we’re not needed. Especially the fact that we weren’t invited to very important international meetings in the meantime, where decisions were made about delivering aid through our territory.
Then he says that his point is not about blocking support for Ukraine, implying that it’s not really Ukraine’s fault, but getting Poland’s relations with countries like Germany and the US who never miss opportunity to play hard, but often forget about their obligations.
I'm not sure if I have heard him, but there are several Polish experts that are on Ukrainian media from time to time. Łukasz Adamski is one I have interviewed myself.
