Es ist mal wieder Zeit für eine unser #Quiz zum Thema #Menschenrechte!
Heute möchten wir wissen:
Welches dieser UN-Menschenrechtsabkommen wurde zuerst verabschiedet?
Fun fact: die ICERD ist die, gegen die Israel — wie vom IGH höchstgerichtlich bestätigt — mit seiner offiziellen institutionalisierten Rassendiskrimierung systematisch verstößt.
Das entsprechende Detail aus der ICJ Advisory Opinion:
"The Court observes that Israel’s legislation and measures impose and serve to maintain a
near-complete separation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem between the settler and Palestinian
communities. For this reason, the Court considers that Israel’s legislation and measures constitute a
breach of Article 3 of CERD." (page 65)

Space weather ‘reporter’ Vigil will be the world’s first space weather mission to be permanently positioned at Lagrange point 5, a unique vantage point that allows us to see solar activity days before it reaches Earth. ESA’s Vigil mission will be a dedicated operational space weather mission, sending data 24/7 from deep space.
Vigil’s tools as a space weather reporter at its unique location in deep space will drastically improve forecasting abilities. From there, Vigil can see ‘around the corner’ of the Sun and observe activity on the surface of the Sun days before it rotates into view from Earth. It can also watch the Sun-Earth line side-on, giving an earlier and clearer picture of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) heading toward Earth.
Radiation, plasma and particles flung towards Earth by the Sun can pose a very real risk to critical infrastructure our society relies on. This includes satellites for navigation, communications and banking services as well as power grids and radio communication on the ground.
A report by Lloyd’s of London estimates that a severe space weather event, caused by such an outburst of solar activity, could cost the global economy 2.4 trillion dollars over five years.
ESA’s response to this growing threat is Vigil, a cornerstone mission of the Agency’s Space Safety Programme, planned for launch in 2031. Vigil’s data will give us drastically improved early warnings and forecasts, which in turn help protect satellites, astronauts and critical infrastructure on the ground that we all depend on.

Where the rest of international community has failed it comes the weak regime of #Yemen to take action against the starvation and #genocide of the great Gazan population. The western countries still giving the tools to #zionazis to exterminate #Palestinians, when the eastern keep closed eyes in front of the crime. No actions, from ANYONE.
"The Houthis in Yemen are warning shippers that "any Israeli vessel" travelling through four locations will be targeted.
The statement follows a four-day deadline set by the group for Israel to resume aid shipments into Gaza.
The #Houthis added that the "ban will remain in effect until the crossings to the #Gaza Strip are reopened and humanitarian aid, including food and medical supplies, is allowed to enter".
Houthis had launched more than 100 attacks targeting shipping from November 2023, saying they were in solidarity with Palestinians over #Israel ’s genocide in Gaza."

Fuck the international community. This fucking national-state system of exploitation is now KILLING CHILDREN in mass with the most horrific ways.
"Islamic Relief, an aid group, has warned that “children and some of the most vulnerable people in Gaza will die” if Israel’s blockade on all humanitarian aid into the Gazan enclave continues.
Bakeries have been closed, markets have lack of basic goods, and water is being cut off.
The International Federation of Red Cross says lifesaving supplies, including medicine, in Gaza are dwindling.
The past 10 days have been a reminder of the opening weeks of the war, when Israel blocked everything from entering the Gaza Strip.
Later, about 40 children were diagnosed with malnutrition and some were died die to damine."

Athens, Greece: Comrades Accused of ‘Conspiracy Vengeance/Armed Response’ Case Attempt Escape
As expected, once again, the police-DAEB in collaboration with the corrupt judges did what they know best to do, to “cook”, to direct, to set up the trials and to get the result they want. Thus, with great audacity, the prosecutor Pappas Spyridon, within an hour, without any substantial arguments and a clear picture, “bagged” most of the accused, assigning to five of them the charge of 187A, that of terrorist organization. A specific name often used by the state and the judiciary to suppress their enemies. In other words, those who chose to oppose social cannibalism, those who chose not to be slaves of the bosses, those who do not accept the few to rule the many, for a life of freedom. Freedom is a basic foundation of life, it is in the nature of human beings, let alone prisoners, to seek it. Thus, on Thursday 10/7, in the Loukareos courts, some of the accused chose the path to freedom, even at the risk of their own lives. Despite the protection measures of the state apparatus and without any scruples about the consequences of this decision, they clashed with the cops, managing to wrest the weapon from one and immobilize a second. However, in their attempt to free the remaining accused, the cops regrouped and the escape attempt ended. They may not have won their freedom this time, but they managed to humiliate the entire security system with its armed cops, sending a strong message of solidarity and the realization that with risk and will, anything can happen. What is written above is not something you would hear or learn from the manipulative media, they know very well how to cover up the mistakes and dirt of their bosses.
PS. Words of great journalistic parrots.
Freedom of speech is a sacred and inviolable right in a democracy.

Guy next to me at the cafe I’m working out of this morning gets a call:

Spoke to him afterwards. Apparently “some energy company.” And it was an LLM on the other side. He said it sounded so real (a woman who gave him her name and sounded perfectly normal) until he asked it if it was AI when it responded “yes” and then restarted the script.

🌟 When you experience a personal success, it can paradoxically feel like a threat to a narcissist. Instead of celebrating your joy, they might feel overshadowed or ignored. This often leads to passive-aggressive remarks, subtle sabotage, or even a sudden "personal crisis" that diverts attention from your achievement.
It's important to recognize these patterns to protect your well-being and understand that their reaction is about their own insecurity, not your worth. You deserve to celebrate your victories fully! 💪✨ #NarcissisticAbuse #SelfAwareness #MentalHealthMatters

in reply to Liam Proven • • •@theregister, I think, independent from how good is the OS, important also the infrastructure it has.
A good OS incompatible with needed apps and security soft isn't valid for an practical use.
Almost all apps nowadays are made for Android and iOS and forks on Linux base, like also Android (de-googled) itself, which is also FOSS.
Liam Proven
in reply to Catweazle • • •@Catweazle I disagree.
For instance I own 6 bicycles which are all completely incompatible with all brands of automotive fuel and tyres. They lack safety belts and all other vehicular safety features.
However they are excellent modes of transport. I've commuted on them, covered over 100 miles in a day using them, and I have carried tens of kilos of cargo on them.
If I had a Symbian phone today and it was able to communicate with, say, Beeper over @matrix, along with the other functions of something like an HMD 2660, I'd be 100% fine with that.

Not all tools for a job need to do their work the same way using the same functions as other more popular tools.

in reply to Liam Proven • • •@matrix, agree and for sure for a lot of people Symbiant is perfectly valid, but my wife and also I am very old and we need eg. an app of our doctors appointments in the social security, official app only for Android and iOS and maybe forks of these.
Same for others which needs official apps which I doubt exist for Symbian. Nothing to do with having enough with an bicycle, the difference between need and nice to have.
Liam Proven
in reply to Catweazle • • •@Catweazle @matrix
Symbian. No T on the end.
All right, fair point. (Although my mum is nearly 90 and has an appless phone, so it's not one-size-fits-all.)
But the thing is that you said:
"A good OS incompatible with needed apps... isn't valid for an practical use."
I am guessing you mean "any". I gave you a valid use. OSes with no apps can be entirely useful, yes.
For instance, you also said "and security soft". If something can't run external apps then it can't run malware either, so no _security software_ is needed. I do not _want_ apps on my router, or on my storage server, or on my ebook reader!
The obsession with apps is a recent thing and it's everywhere. It's a red herring. Not everything needs apps, even including computing devices, and often, providing the ability to run external software is harmful and insecure.
Catweazle
in reply to Liam Proven • • •@matrix, agree with this statement, as I said before, for a lot of people Symbian is a pretty good alternative, but not for all because mencioned reasons, eg. also profesionals which have to work with company or specific apps.
Luckily there are also pretty good FOSS alternatives out there which are also compatible with needed apps.
Compatibility is always an important reason for a lot of users.
Yes, in my case I also can try to make a call for an appointment, but it's often impossible due of the office hours, presence of the nurse, because heavy traffic in the hospital and others, apart the need to pass always all the ID data, security number and other, because of this the social security intriduced the app some years ago.
The app connect direct with the calendar of the doctor, selecting a free zone, marking day and hour 24/7 with your registred data, even putting an alarm in your calendar, thing of half a minute and few clicks and aliviate a lot the work of the hospital personal, which is hard enough.
