“What is very violent is the fact that the federal government and the Victorian government [are] welcoming a weapons conference, with actual military tanks, into the centre of our city … Tanks used on civilians, Palestinian civilians in #Gaza."

La Macronie préfère pactiser avec l'extrême droite plutôt que d'abandonner sa politique anti-pauvres.
Du barrage républicain, on a donc hérité d'une rupture avec la tradition démocratique et d'une alliance avec l'extrême droite !

There’s a counter-school of Australian history, post Humphrey McQueen, that’s invested in pointing out the aspects of slavery that did exist in the Australian 19th and 20thCs. ‘Blackbirding’ or kidnapping, legal travel restrictions of Aboriginal people and their payment in rations (or nothing), wage theft, again mostly from Aboriginal people, indentured contract labour of Chinese and Indian people. Institutions like boys and girls Homes. Unfree labour has never really disappeared.

And then there was a counter-counter school from the 1990s, the History Wars era, that tried to revise it all back. They’re all invested though in comparing Australian pasts against American ones, as though our past could be scaled in institutions.

Today marks 4 years since Proctorio sued me. It was the week before term start, a trying time for any educational technologist, but this was September 2020 and every class was being taught online. If you were in ed tech for this one, you worked harder than ever. We share something in common. Proctorio emailed me a lawsuit and threw my world upside down. #HigherEd #EdTech thread 1/

Picture this moment, but in 1994 wherein Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn are taken into custody for developing TCP/IP, a protocol that inadvertently enabled drug dealers to communicate.

I said it before and I'll say it again, if you're gonna get 5 years for peaceful protest, while fascist rioters only get 2, you may as well level an oil refinery and be done with it.

someone just shared this picture with me and I am so mad this is a thing that somebody thought was a good idea, or even not a terrible idea

Our good friend
@davidgerard is launching a new site to document humans wishing they had CPU-powered overlords, and it does not look like he is going to be short of lulz-worthy material anytime soon!

I'm happy to implement web key directory support in #Mailvelope Keyserver software.

You can see the history of this work here https://github.com/mailvelope/keyserver/issues/121

I don't have a lot of experience coding software but I could visualize a solution.

Thanks to @akshay and @weepingclown for their continuous support which made this possible.

Hopefully this will motivate more people to setup #wkd for their domains and make end to end encrypted email as easy as WhatsApp or Signal.

"The researchers used computer models to show that a “very small increase” in the temperature of the intruding water could lead to a “very big increase” in the loss of ice – ie, tipping point behaviour. It is unknown how close the tipping point is, or whether it has even been crossed already. But the researchers said it could be triggered by temperature rises of just tenths of a degree, and very likely by the rises expected in the coming decades."
