“Al Jazeera published a video showing an Israeli reconnaissance drone targeting a little girl as she tried to carry a #water container.
The child can be clearly identified in the footage. #Israel has killed more than 62,000 people in #Gaza since the #genocide began, most of them #women and #children.”

I am slowly coming around to the idea that continuous passive resistance and legal peaceful protest isn't actually worth much at all.
Radicalization is a direct response to continuously deteriorating circumstances and the clock running out. Most acts of terrorism are born out of hopelessness and these actions and the constant eroding of hope is how fascists obtain their police state.

legal peaceful protest does little to a state or system of management imposing laws against their people which are immoral and unjust tbh
nothing significant in life has ever been achieved through entirely peaceful means, it just... isn't something that works long term... because sometimes you have to actually anger the people in power for things to improve, and doing that necessarily involves more than passive peaceful resistance to inhuman and terrible conditions
We are very much in for it the next few years. They are pushing for a great war and all the state power that comes with wartime. I am really trying to cling on to EU values when they seem so far away from me right now, I dont support any of this shit. We are being Americanized.
I consider the current EU completely hostile and in direct opposition to its supposed values. They have become the enemy of the people. The drastic veering towards militarism and surveillance aren't values I share.

Des dizaines de rapports scientifiques démontrent depuis des années que l'inaction climatique va coûter plus cher que l'action. Mais soyez certains que François Bayrou préfèrera retirer tous les jours fériés que d'agir pour le climat.

Imagine a world in which you can lose your job for calling someone by their chosen name. Welcome to today's world of teaching. In Florida, you can be fired for calling your students by their chosen name without parental consent. That's what happened to Melissa Calhoun.
Her district's superintendent said that parental input can’t be ignored. But what if the parents are just plain wrong?
No matter. SCOTUS gave a ruling earlier this year that essentially made parental input is the ONLY thing that matters. Parents across the nation can now exempt their child from any and all curriculum that "goes against their religious beliefs." This would allow parents to exempt their kids from any of the standards, including evolution, in biology, or the Civil Rights movement, in U.S. history.
From the teachers' and schools' perspective, this completely throws the concept of teaching standards out the window. It makes it pointless for teachers to plan curriculum in advance since they wouldn't know until the last minute which students, if any, would be allowed to learn it. And it would significantly increase teachers' workload since they must create alternative curriculum for students who are exempted.

I am still not over the situation when someone asked for my “gmail”, I gave them my email address and they were like “No, your gmail!” And tried to explain to me that they only could send messages to Gmail accounts and they do not have an email.
We really need to teach more computer literacy. It was not their fault, they just did not know that Gmail IS email.

By the way, one of my cutomers knew this, but her disability kept her from being able to reach it. Most people would give that a "That sucks". I offered to reroute her entire set up to put the router at wheelchair height, and showed her pulling the router side of the power cable, instead of the plug side, accomplished the same result.
She was very greatful.
"No biggie. I'm just not an ablist asshat."

"But here's what's suspicious: we were told fortification would prevent bone disease. Instead, we got an epidemic of bone disease in the first generation raised on fortified foods.
Maybe it's coincidence. Maybe it's the hundred other environmental toxins introduced in the same era. Or maybe – just maybe – flooding everyone's system with a fat-soluble synthetic hormone that affects calcium metabolism had unintended consequences that took decades to manifest.

Interesting. I supplement with D-3 daily.
But my supplements are pretty cheap, and I am finding it difficult to find sufficient skepticism and suspicion to imagine that the the profit margin for vitamin D is remotely enough for "big vitamin" to sponsor a bunch of fraudulent studies.

I have set up a disconnected local chatbot using open webui, and I have fed it all of the manuals and maps and diagrams of the Sempf Compound. I can ask it things like "which breaker should I turn off to replace the floor outlets in the living room" and it answers correctly.
I'm afraid to talk about it here because of the general hatred of GenAI. Probably should set up an alt on a techbro instance or something. My filters would probably block everyone so I'm not sure that would work.
@kevinmirsky From what I can see, a lot of us *need* to really interact with LLMs at this point.
Unless they're paying for your house and food, let 'em be mad. I'm always up for chatting about AI despite my skepticism. An ambivalent post of mine from like a day ago brought a bunch of complainers out of the woodwork, so I feel your pain.
Hate to say it, but this stat is more than 10 years old. The corporate leach who runs that company is making a lot more than that today. Plus, he no doubt gets far more than that in non-wage compensation.
The federal minimum wage is still only $7.25/hour, same as it was in 2008. Only difference is that today that $7.25/hr is even further from a living wage than it was then. And if you are a new worker, under the age of 20, they can pay you a "training" wage of only $4.25/hr.
