International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative
The International Criminal Court (ICC) will switch its internal work environment away from Microsoft Office to Open Desk, a European open source alternative, the institution confirmed to Euractiv.
German newspaper Handelsblatt first reported on the plans. The switch comes amid rising concerns about public bodies being reliant on US tech companies to run their services, which have stepped up sharply since the start of US President Donald Trump’s second administration.
For the ICC, such concerns are not abstract: Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the court and slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.

Al Jazeera | HRL’s report showed images containing clusters of objects and ground discolouration that it believes to be evidence of human bodies. The HRL appears to back up other accounts from aid groups that reported chaotic scenes on the ground, including killings, arrests and attacks on hospitals.
“The actions by #RSF presented in this report may be consistent with war crimes and crimes against humanity (CAH) and may rise to the level of genocide,”

I am upset because I see something that is not there.

A pessoa está de perfil, virada para a esquerda, e está usando um terno escuro com uma gravata cinza. A iluminação está focada no lado direito do rosto da pessoa, o que cria um contraste de luz e sombra. A pessoa tem cabelos escuros e curtos e está olhando para a câmera. Há um título escrito em letras brancas e cursivas na parte superior da imagem que diz "Comissão de Direitos Humanos". Na parte inferior da imagem, há um título menor que diz "APF".

in reply to Stacy • • •2. Today’s idea is useful for application to anything that seems to upset you, and can profitably be used throughout the day for that purpose. ²However, the three or four practice periods which are required should be preceded by a minute or so of mind searching, as before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting thought uncovered in the search.
