They just don't get it, do they? It is literally impossible by definition to conduct "terror" attacks against an occupying military.

in case nobody has put this plainly: the hidden environmental costs of ai are multiplying with every model trained, and a lot of those costs (and the emissions that result) are being shifted onto traditional web services that are getting hit with massively more bot traffic

this is a real, actual, now emergency for a world living under climate emergency conditions

Longer working hours aren't a choice made by workers, as the Productivity Commission says here. Bosses, backed by the PC, have resisted shorter working hours ever since the failed push for a 35 working week in the 1980s.

"We helped uncover mass graves in hospital courtyards, where [Palestinians] had been stripped of their clothes before being killed or forcibly disappeared."

This week, I faced trial for opposing genocide, Zionism, and for challenging Germany’s unconditional support for Israel. The state prosecuting me may have legal authority, but its moral authority has collapsed as it again participates in a genocide.

Someone has produced these stickers and been putting them on Israeli produce (like hummus) in the UK. Depressingly needed genius.

Cops broadcasting instructions from their helicopter to this massive #FreePalestine march on Sydney Harbour Bridge, but not remaining in the one spot to be audible.

How's it going since the UK Online Safety Act slammed an age gate on the Internet?

Age verification providers with dodgy privacy policies, over-moderation of content, scammers scheming and sites closing down.

Here's a week in the life of an unworkable law ⬇️

I'm proud that tomorrow my newspaper, #IlFattoQuotidiano, will publish in book form #FrancescaAlbanese' report naming names of companies complicit with #Israel's #genocide

It will be a moral guideline for us to decide what to do with that knowledge,how to act, which companies to boycott

Rue d'Avron

Old Frisian laws be like:

If a man’s spine be shattered, such that he may never again bring himself to bath or bed, to to wagon or wife, never again to roam on roads or glide on glittering ice: he is owed half the price of a slaughtered life.

And if he’s oozing pus, three shillings.

Good news, there's an unreal amount of interest in meshcore lately.

My community came together and group purchased 20 nodes and have rapidly been onboaring tons of new LoRa curious hackers.

It looks like I might have single handedly increased the user base of the Seattle meshcore user base by 10 - 20%.

Choice.

My @smh @theage cartoon.

‘Retired teacher Jon Farley, 67, was detained during a silent protest in Leeds for holding a placard featuring a cartoon from the satirical magazine that joked about the government’s recent proscription of the group Palestine Action.’

So retired, non-violent man appears in public with a published cartoon and is arrested for terrorism…

Hey that name sounds familiar ...

Australian Parliament reconvening this week. Time for Australia to act to stop the genocide in Gaza. Time to prosecute war criminals.
