This is indeed horrific. It’s also almost standard practice for many nations, including the USA (my country), where whistleblowers are routinely put in prison instead of their information being evaluated seriously.

Now cross-reference this list with known members of Proud Boys, Patriot Front, and other domestic terror orgs.

As a former Mormon I find this mildly interesting, but I don’t have much hope that large numbers of LDS people will begin to protest against the genocide. The pro-Israel thing is deeply embedded… as in, I’m pretty sure there are an awful lot of LDS people who will see the sacrifice of a million or two Palestinians, even if totally innocent, as a reasonable price to pay for God’s Chosen People getting the Land Of The Covenant to usher in the Second Coming.

Even deeper than that: Mormons are mostly herd animals. Dissent has been trained out of them (unless the dissent is authorized by the First Presidency).

This goes a bit deep. Seems like it’s going to be about customers being too stupid to figure things out, but it ends up for me a story about engineers not accurately anticipating customers’ needs.

This is a great list and thanks for posting it.

Also, the pixelfed guy needs to give up full control of his project (no matter how nicely or reasonably he argues “not yet”). I have asked on mastodon and nobody seems to know of anyone else who truly understands the project so if he dies or gets disappeared the project… Dies? Maybe? More concerningly, it isn’t open source. He cotes good reasons for this (the massive labor to refactor and whatever else goes into open sourcing a functioning project), but he also occasionally humblebrags about being offered huge sums of money to sell it to corporations. I suspect it will become corporate at some point if he doesn’t open source it soon.

Of course you’re an engineer. I could tell you didn’t have to take gen ed courses from the punctuation mistake.

No, Yemen declared war on Israel. It’s war, so it’s cool.

Technical question: how did Israel cut Gaza off from cell networks? Is there some kind of jamming technology, did they literally destroy/disable all cell towers serving Gaza, or did they get Verizon or whoever to stop providing service? Or something else?

Thanks for checking. I’m sad to be right about this.

OK weird thing for me: I’m in the US. If I click that link I get told to go to the US site (savethechildren.org not savethechildren.net) and the US site appears not to have that story, at least not in that form. I used their search function for the article title and found nothing.f

Maybe they just titled it differently and I should search more carefully, but it seems odd right now.
