Great protest and great victory in #Syros #Greece. Locals protesting against the genocide in #Palestine in response to the arrival of Israeli - owned cruiseship Crown Iris to the island, forcing it to leave the island. Israeli tourists onboard were provocative, chanting. Some disembarked and tried to aggressively face the protesters, but were pulled back by security forces. We cannot carry on with business as usual with the genocide ongoing.

The Trump-regime's anti-humanities and pro-genocide insanity continues with more culture war: "Trump to withdraw U.S. from UNESCO over alleged bias against Israel", because, they claim, it "supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes" like diversity and referring to occupied Palestinian territory (oPt, the actual established legal term) as "occupied". npasyria.com/en/127567/
DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that it would withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said
@bifouba The one does not contradict the other. If one considers Palestine to be a State, the territory one considers to be its then becoming occupied makes it occupied Palestinian territory, which is certainly then applicable both on the West Bank of and in the Gaza Strip of Palestine. Then if one doesn't consider there to be a Palestinian State, then it can and has still been called occupied Palestinian territory based on the people residing in the territory and that it is, still, in both locations occupied.
Buuut... I very much doubt the Trump-regime knows or cares about any of this. They just want to crush every non-WASP-supremacist person and derived culture in existence, everywhere. Just like Putin, but then non-Muscoivite-supremacist instead, and so on elsewhere likeminded too.
Yes, of course, but it's still the case that the UN in the past used “oPT” in places where it otherwise used country names (e.g., indicator tables), but now uses (State of) Palestine instead.
Indeed that neither contradicts nor changes the fact that it also recognises the territory of the State of Palestine to be illegally occupied.
The point was more that Trump is trying to re-litigate old questions while everyone else has already moved on.
@bifouba That regime does seem to strive to get back to the past, like a fictionalized version of the 1200s sometime maybe, so yeah, might be not so much interested in what is happening in actually real reality now. Sigh. Good times... 😕

It blows my mind that in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty five, the most efficient and effective way of transferring a file from one device to another remains emailing it to yourself as an attachment.
I'm sure local send is very good if (a) you install an app and (b) you are on the same network at the same time with all your devices. Still quicker to just email the goddamn attachment. Just gonna leave this here. anotherangrywoman.com/2023/01/…

there are some edge cases where it is more efficient to message it to my partner so that i can then access the chat program from the other device and save it.
For a brief time, phones at least had perfectly cromulent mass storage, and now they got MTP. (While Apple is doing its own thing, as it is wont to.) And linking two PCs using something like the nullmodem of yore? Forget about it.
does my fucking head in. I had a phone that I could just plug in and copy shit directly across, like a human with a human mind and soul would make it
Now it's fuckin impossible unless you install 9 copies of Corporate Dan's Special Wanking Club (not spyware) and let them all take pictures of your house somehow
*dingdong* hello could I have some minutes of your valuable time to speak about our lord and savior, LocalSend? It's an app/program and it is very easy to send files to other devices when they are in the same network. I love it.
Still the best way TBH. Even if at some later point the file is lost from both the source and destination, it's still there in email as long as I just archive that email. I used my email as a handy backup and version control for years. Still do at times, though more likely to mostly use cloud storage now.
is this why sending the file with a hand flick from one device to another features heavily in sci-fi/futuristic telly programs? Because in the bright future we will surely have figured that out?
Having N+1 rival companies all forcing their own ecosystems while being intentionally incompatible with the others is the same as having zero ecosytems at all... 🙈
You do know @syncthing exists? In lieu of just rsyncing files between SSH'd boxes, it is a very good system for setting up a (number of) shared folder(s) and being able to get at these files with versioning. And, using global relays, it works even if you're not currently on the same network as your home box.

It happened a couple of weeks ago, but I have been busy moving things ahead. Here's some news! I got my Canadian citizenship certificate!
Since my mom was born in Canada, the process was very fast. The effective date is retroactively... the day I was born! It was extra fast since I wrote a letter saying I was transgender and would really appreciate it expedited. They did a 5 month process in two weeks!
If you have a parent who was born in Canada, it's very easy to get certified as a Canadian citizen, since it's verifying that "you were one all along". Here's more info: canada.ca/en/immigration-refug…
But we are in an unusual position where if you have *any* born-in-Canada ancestors, you can probably be certified as a Canadian citizen. This won't be true forever, so don't wait!
If you are trans, write a personal letter saying so and asking it to be expedited.
For more information on being a US resident/citizen trying to get out of the US, and what your options are in various countries, I highly recommend Trans World Express transworldexpress.org/wiki/Mai…
The info there isn't necessarily *only* useful to trans people, but mostly is aimed at trans people, since trans people are very vulnerable right now.
Canada has many of its own problems and no place is fully safe or good. But currently Canada is looking pretty good in terms of "taking the risks to trans people seriously". We have yet to see how these will play out but:
- A transgender woman's case is being considered for asylum archive.is/j8twE - A nonbinary person's deportation to the US was halted because they petitioned they wouldn't be safe being in the US as nonbinary archive.is/j8twE
Also when the limited-time-opportunity ends it will hopefully be replaced with law that makes a bunch more people into Canadian citizens, those who had grandparents or great-grandparents (or maybe even great-great-grandparents) born in Canada. Not as generous as current grants, though, but still helpful to some. Final law may be worse than current draft, but we'll see.
The left, which love repeating rumors of starvation in Gaza and killing of Palestinians, are completely silent when it comes to the murder of the Druze minority in Syria by Iran backed Islamists.
"The Druze are an indigenous, Arab minority in the Levant. Like Jews, unless attacked, they are a people who overwhelmingly live in peace within their respective countries (mainly Lebanon, Israel, and Syria). Druze are being targeted in large part because they are a significant, non-Islamic minority – one of the last – in Syria."
When I was in Israel in May this year, I was fortunate to experience a traditional dinner in the home of a Druze family and learn more about their unique…
@jimmybuffettfanaccount @Morghur @Curvin @Shadowbroker2135 if you embrace "real" "raw stuff" then you are a twitch streaming egirl who does not need to do makeup or her hair. The v in vtuber stands for virtual for a reason. This is just the western trend of having no standards or even civilizational ability to apply standards to any behavior combined with everyone's internalized stereotype of a deranged fan with no sense of reality that they project on EVERYTHING that is not coated with a thick veneer of disgusting irony. The entire value of the vtuber puppet show is that with the masquerade, a woman can stop being self-conscious and actually be charming. It is why doxxing a chuuba should have the same death penalty littering in a park ought to. Westerners are fucking stupid in this regard and will shout "you go girl" to the most repulsive behavior the way japs will do the same for femdom and abusive behavior.
Naturally if you properly apply these standards, the amount of vtubers that pass in EN and Jap can be counted on two hands, which is also why so many people get these answers wrong.

That is a certified correct opinion, especially if you're talking about having it with coffee. It's an upgrade over cow milk in pretty much every aspect.
In the Sixties young Germans asked their parents how they could have let that happen what everybody knew but only few people tried to fight - the annihilation of German and European Jews in extermination camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau or Treblinka. They often excused themselves answering that they couldn't know for sure what fate awaited their Jewish neighbours after being deported.
Today it's even less credible if people evade into alleging not to know what the Palestinians in Gaza have to endure. Today we have comments in legacy media whose authors openly talk about a genocide happening and people dying by hunger due to the systematic cutting off of life saving ressources.
Will the governments who support Israel in ignoring basic human rights and international law one day held accountable? Western Germany had a lot of Nazis personally responsible for the Holocaust and NS-fascism who not only got off the hook of criminal persecution but who were rewarded for their past as NS-functionaries with high positions in the administrative apparatus and legal institutions of the Bundesrepublik. They could enjoy their pensions while communists who were fighting the Nazis got nothing and were politically repressed even by being jailed again.
Politicians and companies complicit with this genocide will pobably not be prosecuted either - there will be another war or catastrophe even worse than today in whose shadow all will be lost and forgotten ...
"I want to be clear – what is being done to Palestinians in Gaza is barbaric and entirely preventable. I cannot believe we have come to a point where the world is watching as the people of Gaza are forced to endure starvation and gunfire, all while food and medical aid sits across the border just miles away from them."
