When truth departs – as it is doing from the political field – we are in very deep trouble taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… Politicians used to spin, but now they just lie. And the trouble is, they lie on big issues like genocide, the fact that it is going on, and that our country is complicit in it. How long can this go on for before trust breaks down completely?

Interesting response and analysis of Francesca Albanese regarding profiteering in the siege of Gaza and settlements of Palestinian land, annexed to Israel. She’s been studying this for over 2 years, revealing particular capitalist entities like Maersk. She notes that young activists undertook the research and now established media refuses to acknowledge their authority. 2nd part of interview yet to be recorded and posted.

I want to talk terminal colours, in advance of some self-paced learning I'm launching.

In IRL workshops and lectures with a projector, I've always found black on white seems to sit best for folk given long-haul tolerance and legibility.

But how about hours of UNIX commands, shell scripts and config editing in recorded video, and on your screen?

Which terminal colour combo would be easiest on your eyes in long episodes of video?

(Not in the list? Drop your pref combo in the replies)

  • green on black (29%, 14 votes)
  • white on black (43%, 21 votes)
  • white on aubergine (Ubuntu default) (14%, 7 votes)

@aral Thanks! This is solely in the context of screen-recorded video, of me working in the shell as a function of some new training I'm launching.

Further, some of my students will be on poor quality connections, and so how a terminal theme fares across differing video quality settings is a significant factor.

Finally, talking to some I realise that what is a low-fatigue colour space for me, may be quite the inverse for them! A fascinating topic, that leads me to look for a good compromise.

"Trapping AI" – Operational Progress! 🕳️

Following the last update (tldr.nettime.org/@asrg/1147426…), we’re transitioning from planning to practice — amplifying both the scale and operational ferocity of our approach through the deployment of a new, more radically interventionist layer of complexity.

This intensified escalation — as outlined in the last update — is concretized in fakejpeg, which is now fully live and operational. From this point onward, every page generated by our standalone LLM crawler-tarpit embeds a garbage JPEG. Notably, within just a few hours of operation, this deployment has already yielded over 40,000 such images.

The integration of fakejpeg constitutes a critical deepening layer that amplifies both the strategic offensiveness and subversive ardor of our approach by enabling the ongoing targeted poisoning and coordinated dissemination of systematically crafted junk data within the operational workflows of AI systems.

"Trapping AI" – Slight Update! 🌀

Activity in the "Trapping AI" project is accelerating: in just under a month, over 26 million requests have hit our tarpit URLs 🕳️. Vast volumes of meaningless content were devoured by AI crawlers — ruthless digital leeches that relentlessly scour and pillage the web, leaving no data untouched.

In the coming days, we’ll roll out a new layer of complexity — amplifying both the intensity and offensiveness of our approach. This escalation builds on fakejpeg, a tool developed by @pengfold.

🖼️ fakejpeg generates fake JPEGs on the fly. You "train" it with a collection of existing JPEGs, and once trained, it can produce an arbitrary number of things that look like real JPEGs — perfect for feeding aggressive web crawlers junk 🗑️.

Each new page spawns additional layers of meaningless text and dozens of links, dragging them ever deeper into the tarpit 🕳️.

Why Your Website Is Your Business’s First Voice


 Your website doesn’t need to be a work of art. It just needs to feel right. When it does, visitors linger, engage, and trust you more. That’s the subtle power of good design—shaping perceptions and driving results without drawing attention to itself.

Websites are often taken for granted. You visit one, glance around, find what you’re looking for—or not—and move on without much thought.

But when you’re the one running the site, those brief moments are critical. They’re when visitors decide if your brand feels trustworthy, professional, or worth their attention. That quick interaction shapes how your business is perceived.

This is where great web design steps in. A skilled website designer doesn’t just make your site look good—they create an experience that builds confidence and keeps people engaged.

First Impressions Are Instant


Visitors judge your website in seconds. They don’t read every word or analyze the design—they scan and form a quick opinion. That snap reaction decides whether they stay or leave.

A clean, modern, fast-loading site signals reliability. A cluttered, slow, or outdated one pushes people away. They might not know why they left—just that something felt off. Good design captures those fleeting moments and turns them into trust.

Design Is About Usability, Not Just Style


Web design isn’t just about colors or fonts. It’s about creating a site that feels effortless to use. A website designer focuses on how visitors move through your site—what they click, what they read, and what keeps them exploring.

Navigation should be intuitive. Buttons should be clear. Text should be readable on any device. Pages should load quickly. These details create a seamless experience that encourages visitors to stay. Web design services prioritize function over aesthetics, ensuring your site works as well as it looks.

A Poor Website Sparks Doubt


You might not pinpoint why a website feels wrong, but you notice. Slow performance, clunky mobile layouts, or a dated look can create hesitation. And online, hesitation often means a lost visitor.

If your site feels unprofessional, people might question your business’s credibility. That brief pause can send them to a competitor. A poorly designed website doesn’t just frustrate—it risks losing customers before they engage with your work.

Your Website Defines Your Brand


Your website is often the first thing potential customers see. It’s your digital front door, setting expectations for what it’s like to work with you. Does it feel current? Professional? Trustworthy?

If not, you’re sending the wrong message. Web design services help align your site with your brand’s reality, whether through updated visuals, streamlined navigation, or mobile optimization. It’s about ensuring your online presence matches your real-world quality.

The Risk of "Good Enough"


It’s tempting to stick with a website that’s "fine." It’s online, it functions, it’s there. But a mediocre site can quietly hurt your business. Low engagement, high bounce rates, or fewer inquiries often trace back to user experience issues.

Good design guides visitors toward action with clear calls-to-action, intuitive layouts, and fast performance. When these elements work together, visitors trust your brand and are more likely to take the next step.

Choosing a Website Designer Who Gets It


When selecting web design services, look for someone who starts with your goals. They should ask about your audience, your challenges, and what you want to achieve. A great website designer Singapore focuses on purpose, not just visuals.

A website isn’t a showpiece—it’s a tool to connect and convert. The right designer builds a site that’s both functional and credible, working as hard as you do.

Final Thought


Your website doesn’t need to be a work of art. It just needs to feel right. When it does, visitors linger, engage, and trust you more. That’s the subtle power of good design—shaping perceptions and driving results without drawing attention to itself.

Die Palette unserer Gefühle ist reichhaltig, und alle sdiese Gefühle sind auch valide, als Signal, wie wir uns (mit etwas/jemandem) Leider haben viele Menschen keinen Bezug mehr zu ihren gefühlen, weil sie "gefährlich" sind und damit auch schambesetzt. Ein klassisches Beispiel dafür wäre: ein Kind ist zornig auf einen Elternteil und wünscht ihm den Tod. Das geht ja gar nicht, zum einen aus gesellschaftlichen Gründen, zum anderen aus Überlebensnotwendigen Gründen (je nachdem, wie alt das kind ist) Deswegen man packt sie weg, wie auch immer. Der Gedanke alleine ist ein Tabu! Wut, Freude und Angst schaffen es noch durch diesen Deckel/Wattekokon. Daher auch diese wirklich doofe aussage. Wut lässt sich nicht deckeln, und sie muss auch raus. Aber dann besteht auch gefahr, dass die Gesellschaft sich damit beschäftigen muss. Man ächtet also als Gesellschaft wieder einen Wütenden, was den Wütenden dan mit Scham erfüllt. So der Mechanismus, wie man den Kontakt verliert. Wenn man Wut verpacken kann, dann sind "zartere" Gefühle wie nervöse. Anspannung, freudige Aufgeregtheit etc. Chancenlos

WHY.

Why are these the top four stories on CBC, The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation?

One reason is the CBC has never had a top story on building the new energy.

Top Four Stories on CBC are:
1st) an ALARM that CO2, carbon fuel driven climate collapse, is already TAKING our forests,

2nd) an unfolding human tragedy

3rd ) a MASSIVE INCREASE in climate driving CO2

4th) an economic atomic bomb

5th) a mark of CBC FAILURE.

In 1985, the French government bombed the Rainbow Warrior.

It wasn’t just trying to sink a ship - it was attempting to sink a movement, to attack activism, and to silence the voice of hope.

They failed. They blew wind in our sails.

Greenpeace and the movement refused to back down and continued to campaign against nuclear testing.

And in 1996, we won.

I don’t think they’ll be able to do it competently but the crop is lost anyway because there’s no one to harvest it..

Let us see how these guys manage in their military gear harvest pot, and all the other crops that are tended and harvested by hand.

"In an American discourse so heavily imbued with anti-Palestinian racism and so rife with Islamophobia, Palestinians or those who dare see them as human are not allowed to have legitimate intentions or legitimate grievances. They are to be constantly seen as suspicious. Even if they speak of human rights, equality, dignity, they can never really be trusted to mean those things because of who they are — sneaky shapeshifters with deeply held, murderous, ulterior motives. It is quite remarkable how much this echoes antisemitism throughout history, and that should surprise no one. All forms of racism are connected."

With the caveat that to some extent it's not even about impugning suspected ulterior motives. There have been examples of Israel-apologists complaining that a literal and sincere call for “equal rights for all” is somehow offensive. Not because of being a supposed front for malicious intentions, but because the actual concept of equal rights per se is objectionable to them.

Elina Bakunova aka "Eli from Russia" visited Iran before the military conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US began. Before she left, her friends were like, "You're going to Iran? It's so dangerous!" But she found once she arrived in Iran, she never felt in any danger. The Iranian people were kind and curious. She feels the reality of Iran is different from how the media portrays it. She explores the city of Shiraz, visits geographic and historical landmarks, tries the local food, and so fourth. Her English-speaking guides (the whole video is conducted in English) are very good. Officially, Iran is an Islamic country with many restrictions, but many people have little interest in the religion and the restrictions, especially young people. People comply more in public but often in private people ignore the restrictions all the time. There is a difference between the government and the politics and the regular people. The video has very good music.
