This is a hill I will die on: there was a turning point of the net, unnoticed by nearly everyone, that laid the ground work for the global political fuckery and rise of fascism we live with now.
It went unnoticed by most of the world, a totally inscrutable event. But everything changed after that moment.

A difficult but necessary post. The full report of the Dinah Project is out, showing systematic sexual violence by Hamas used on the 7 October massacres (and on hostages afterwards). The many incidents in six different locations suggest this was intentional, not incidental - sexual violence as a weapon.
Clear patterns of sexual violence emerge from the findings, including victims found partially or fully naked with their hands tied, sometimes to trees or poles; evidence of gang rape followed by executions; and severe genital violence. Sexual abuse also continued in captivity — released hostages reported forced nudity, physical and verbal sexual harassment, sexual attacks and threats of forced marriage.
More harrowing details in the piece: ynetnews.com/article/sjkasv5rx…
Sadly, this report was necessary. Too many people are denying sexual violence was part of these attacks, people who in other circumstances say #BelieveHer. Perhaps it complicates their simplistic 'good guys and bad guys' view of the world, clashing with the narrative of 7 October as an act of liberation.
Needless to say - except on social media - this doesn't justify the ongoing horrific death and destruction in Gaza. (And if that's what you thought I was getting at, please go away.)

Las torres del viento persas tienen cientos de años y se originaron en el antiguo Egipto, aunque las más célebres son las de la ciudad de Yazd (Irán). Estas torres suelen ser rectangulares, se instalan en los tejados de los edificios y no requieren de electricidad. Funcionan utilizando el viento entrante y teniendo en cuenta su ondulación, dependiendo de la temperatura (el aire caliente es menos denso, por lo que flota por encima del frío). Cuando el aire accede por los agujeros de la torre, deposita sus impurezas en el pie de la torre y discurre por el interior, a veces a través de depósitos de agua que favorecen su enfriamiento. Gracias a la presión del edificio, el aire caliente sale a través de la torre.
El captador de viento de Dowlatabad es el más alto del mundo (33 metros) y todavía sigue funcionando. El sistema fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 2017, y pese a que funciona a la perfección, se ha ido dejando de lado en favor de sistemas de refrigeración que consumen energía.

You expect complete understanding?
This is a combination of many, many different devastating factors all amounting to a perfect storm we call the 6th Great Extinction. How is anyone supposed to "completely" understand the interaction of pesticides AND viral diseases AND parasites AND deranged weather AND...
- no, I don't expect complete understanding! I'm just commenting on the subtitle of the article we're taking about:
"scientists discover what’s driving record die-offs of US honeybees"
This subtitle does not match the content of the article. The subtitle makes it sound like there's been some new discovery that explains what's going on. I think the article just lists some of the usual well-known contributing factors to the decline of bees, no new "discovery".

I just went to get a sandwich. The ordering is (optionally) done via kiosk. This time, the kiosk started suggesting items for me based on what I'd purchased before. I was initially puzzled as to how it could recognize me prior to any identifying information being input, then realized that there was a small camera embedded in the kiosk, and that it must have done facial recognition.
Identifying customers isn't new; I understand that facial recognition has been used by grocery stores for loss prevention, to help flag people likely to steal things. But I wasn't aware that it'd reached the point of sticking all purchases into a database, regardless of the usual methods to obtain a unique identifier, like loyalty cards or obtaining a phone number.
Assuming that this becomes the norm, short of wearing a mask --- which is a pain, and runs into anti-masking laws in some areas --- I don't see how one can realistically avoid having all of one's purchasing being placed into a store's database for data-mining. That kind of bugs me --- I'd like to be able to do stuff like purchase a sandwich without having the store profile me.
Thoughts? Ways to counter it? Okay with this/not okay?
Now you know where the camera is, just hold your hand over your face long enough to put a piece of electrical tape over it.
If you're worried you'll get in trouble, just remove the tape as you leave. If you actually do get in trouble, protest that it's your right to privacy, and you've done no damage to the equipment.
Or just take a laser or mini torch to the camera, that's up to you, I won't tell..
