>By design, these experiments require maternal deprivation ... The article describes the lab’s practice of taking infant macaques from their mothers shortly after birth and attempting to appease the mothers’ distress by giving them plush toys as “surrogate infants.”

Sounds like the ROI would have something to do with finding out how badly the government can fuck with people before they go full luigi.

The "left-wing" strawperson they've created is an amalgam of things that literally cannot coexist in a coherent worldview, so you'll often assume that because View B is totally logically and practically inconsistent with View A, they won't just assume if you state View A that you also hold View B, but they do.

They'll be like "well, how can you say that when I know you believe [thing I have absolutely never agreed with in my life]?"

I don't know why it's so fucking hard to grasp that the right-wing grifters just lie and make stuff up and conflate wildly different groups with wildly different methods and motives.

Like, a person may no longer fully believe the right-wing shit, but they'll still cling to their image of a hypothetical leftist who is somehow simultaneously both a radical anarchist and an establishment Democrat.

Even when they are pointing at real problems, they can't assign the problem to the right source.

#Palestine / EBU Urges Israel to allow foreign journalists access to Gaza

The #EBU calls on the #Israeli government to unblock access to #Gaza for foreign journalists, who have been banned since October 2023. The EBU highlights the critical role of Palestinian journalists and the need for international media to support their efforts by reporting from inside Gaza. Unrestricted access is crucial for press freedom and independent reporting.

ebu.ch/news/2025/05/ebu-urges-…

This appeal follows a similar request from the EBU last year. Israel’s participation in #Eurovision, despite restricting access to Gaza for foreign journalists, may be seen as inconsistent with the obligations of its membership. Shouldn’t this lead to KAN’s ineligibility to participate in the Eurovision, at least? You’d think that an ongoing genocide makes the absurd arrangements the EBU is insisting on seem somewhat redundant.

More than 70 media and civil society organizations, including the Associated Press, #BBC, #EBU and The New York Times, have signed an open letter urging Israel to give journalists independent access to Gaza. They highlight that no independent media access has been permitted since the start of the war, increasing pressure on local journalists and creating room for misinformation. The organizations emphasize that over 100 journalists have been killed since the war began, and those remaining face extreme deprivation.

"I have nothing to hide, so I don't see why I should care about privacy".

First, are you sure you have nothing to hide?
Unless you're the most upstanding citizen who never absolutely never did anything that could be held against them, you DO have something to hide, whether you realize it or not.

Then there are things that aren't problematic for you NOW, but could become an issue in the future.

Look at how many people got flamed online for tweets or posts dating from 10 years ago. Or just look at how law evolves: you might be lucky enough to live in a country that's quite tolerant to every gender, sex, sexual orientation, skin color, religious or political views. For now. But as recent news clearly demonstrated , that's not necessarily something that's set in stone.

And finally, there's the hacking risk.

The second misconception you often hear is "privacy is already dead, don't bother, it's impossible to stay private nowadays

If you look online, you'll find a TON of ideas, guides, and videos that do just that: tell you what is private and what isn't. Privacy respecting alternatives are EVERYWHERE.

Privacy isn't dead, it's never been so alive!

The next misconception is one that's harder to dispel: "They give me great services for free, so I think the tradeoff is worth it""

If you think your privacy doesn't matter, I think you're wrong, but you are entitled to your opinion and you have every right to consider your data a good deal in exchange for free online services.

But let's consider this for a moment. First, the services aren't free. The price for these services is your data. And another thing to consider: you could get great services elsewhere, that do the same thing, would take you a few days to learn, and can also be free of charge.

"The cloud is just someone else's computer"

Of course, if you store your files on a company's server, then yes, they're stored on a computer that doesn't belong to you. That's actually true. But there's a huge gap between storing these files on a datacenter, and people in that datacenter being able to access everything.

While Google, Microsoft, or Apple might parse everything that gets into their servers, that doesn't mean it's true of every company. A lot of companies offer end to end encryption, which means that your data leaves your computer encrypted, and arrives on the server in the same form, never being legible by anyone in the process. Or you can have your own cloud stored on your own computer.

Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?
For me, it was perhaps simple-scan, a very simple and efficient GUI to scan documents. I used it with my Brother printer / scanner and it works like a charm. Especially since I do not scan stuff often, so a program with more complex UI would have the effect that I forget how to use it until the next time.

Let's begin with the GNU General Public License. The original GPL was created by Richard Stallman in 1989. It's what we call a copyleft license: all modifications made have to be redistributed under the same terms.

The GPL generally gives you the right to download and use, modify, and redistribute the code using the license, without any restrictions.

A lot of projects use the GPL, like the Linux kernel, most GNU software, Wordpress, Notepad++, or Git. Also, any project under the GPL can be sold, by the original creator, or anyone else, whether they modified the code or not, but the person who bought that software has every right to redistribute the code for free themselves.

Another much used license is the MIT license, with about 31% of FOSS projects using it in 2021. It's been created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, and it's also a free software license, that grants you the rights to copy, modify, merge, or distribute the code.

It's a very permissive license, much more flexible than the GPL, as it doesn't restrict what you can do with the code you're using, there is no copyleft or copyright included, so you can include code licensed under the MIT license in your proprietary software, and not redistribute your changes

The MIT license is used in some form or another by a LOT of projects, like the X11 display server, .Net Core, Angular, React, Node.js or jQuery.

On to the Apache license, also used a lot, by 14% of FOSS projects in 2021.

The Apache license is some form of middle ground between the GPL and the MIT license. It grants you all the free software freedoms of downloading, using, modifying, distributing, and selling software using the license, whether it's for personal, internal or commercial use.

The Apache license isn't a copyleft license like the GPL, which means your modifications don't have to use the Apache License, BUT the original work must still be published under the Apache license, and every modification has to be labeled clearly.

The Apache license is used by Android, the Apache HTTP server, Kubernetes, or the Open 3D Engine.

Then we have the BSD License. It was created by the Berkeley Source Distribution project, known as BSD, originally in 1969. There are multiple variants, but most grant the same freedoms to download, use, modify, redistribute the software, as long as the copyright notice and license are included.

The BSD license doesn't force any modification to be distributed under the terms of the BSD license.

But licences don't only apply to code. You can also license your creative work, like a book, a video, a drawing, any form of photo, or art, basically anything you create can be covered by a license. And one of the most well known and used is the Creative Commons.

There are 6 types of that license:

First, you have the basic "Attribution".
Then you have the Share Alike license, the Non derivative license, the Non Commercial license, the Non commercial Share Alike, and the Non Commercial, share alike, non derivative license.
