Weird Computer Contest A contest to see the strangest computer being used to read mastodon/the fediverse. The prize is a cool drawing from me just for you.
Rules:
1. Post a reply to show your device and why it is strange. Can mean hardware and software. A photo is better. 2. You can't go *too* much out of your way to use some goofy device that you don't ever really use. 3. Winner selected by general consensus.
This is *not* just an excuse to see/post photos of strange computers.
My daily driver for most of my personal computer touching these days is a ClockworkPi DevTerm. The photo doesn't really convey scale, but it's about the size of an A5 sheet of paper.
Inside the hardware is nothing special, it's a raspberry pi CM4 module on a custom carrier. But I really enjoy the form factor. The keyboard is OK for four-finger typing on the couch, but I do frequently connect an external keyboard and display.
The screen is 1280x480. I'm usually running emacs full screen and split in to two windows side but side. That gives me enough to comfortably read and write text.
I use mastodon.el in emacs. It's not as good as tusky on my phone, but it does the job.
@Bleukitty đ Given some distance, I can't see it. Rabbits living under our shed are new, too. Food for the fox. As long as we can keep them from eating our gardens that took 20 yrs to build on and fighting all kinds of pests.
@Bleukitty Oh, a cat! Yeah, that's not going to change, lol. He can protect himself. I saw 2 kitties at the vet few days ago. Everybody was in love. The did get adopted. đ
#Zionists OWNS America Professor #JeffreySachs once again reveals the whole truth about the illegal and unprovoked #USA attack on #Iran. He ridicules the current administration and irreparably exposes the deep state and the #CIA. Is he saying anything new? Certainly not, but it is quite satisfying to hear it from a recognized #US professor. Enjoy
The US has officially attacked Iran and Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins the show to help us understand the truth about the US Iran War.00:00 - Intro to Jeffrey...
Nazis own America. The israeli v is called, not completely correctly, Zionism, because MOST Zionists DID NOT approve of how the NAZI COLLABORATING FACTION the WESTERN NAZIS enabled and armed went about 'integrating' with the arabs AND ME Christians in Palestine.
Did I mention Nazis are psychopaths, and despite the names they call themselves they collaborate.
Einstein reflects the belief of most JEWS who understand their bible... US Christians are the problem. Zionists ARENT Jews.
@heretical_i Nazis own AmeriKKKa since the OSS brought them to the US from Germany to use them against the Soviet Union and placed them in critical decision-making positions. After that all hell breaks loose
Ps. When I told my mother my zionist weapons smuggling post wwii father was teaching Comparative Religion at UNC Asheville in the 90s, she lol and said: "He never had a religious bone in his body!". Any questions?

LIVE: Iran vows to retaliate over US attacks; Trump warns of regime change | Israel-Iran conflict News | Al Jazeera aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/20âŠ

Capitalism is literally cooking the planet and all 8 billion people on it are in big trouble, including you and me. Not to mention the animals. Don't talk to me about the damn Bolsheviks.
Israeli media has been limited in detailing the specifics of recent attacks on targets within Israel due to military censorship. For instance, most outlets didn't mention that Tel Aviv University was the target of a strike yesterday, which damaged a nearby shopping area. The prominent coffee shop's signage at the site was cropped or not included in the images published, even though they circulated widely on social media.
This morning's message states only the following:
"Israel Electric Corporation: Strategic infrastructure facility in the south was hit, disruptions in electricity supply to settlements in the area"
Instead, Israelis are shown random images of attacks on targets in Iran.
The Israeli #Mossad agents just bombed the entrance of #Tehranâs #Evin #prison in an effort to facilitate the escape of prisoners in order to destabilise Iranâs security.
It was never about Nuclear Weapons! It's all about regime change like Iraq, Libya & Syria.
The Israeli occupation has just bombed the entrance of Tehranâs Evin District prison in an effort to facilitate the escape of prisoners in order to destabilise Iranâs security.
Quoting Noa Limona on how the Israeli media is reckoning with uncritically accepting military explanations for targeting journalists and media infrastructure, after using the same justifications in both Gaza and Iran attacks that are now being used at home against them:
[âŠ] After all, the killing of journalists in Gaza is covered here only through the #IDF filter, according to which they are all terrorists.
[âŠ] and the bombing of the Iranian broadcasting network was reported with cheers and corrupt mockery. No journalist in the mainstream media questioned the armyâs justifications for the bombing: the station âserved military activity,â the wonder excuse that worked for us in Gaza, and served as âa mouthpiece of the regime that incites genocide.â It seems that no one in Israeli studios felt the crushing irony.â
Limonaâs concludes that the assault on press freedom that began with targeting foreign journalists is expanding to encompass Israeli media outlets that donât toe the government line. She warns that even mainstream Israeli channels (11, 12, 13) are now being labeled as problematic by government supporters, suggesting that the restrictions will eventually affect all non-compliant media.
How long will Haaretz still be able to work? And how much endangered are some well known journalists? No, I don't expect answers from you, I'm just thinking aloud ... eh, in writing.
800.000 Menschen in Deutschland haben Anspruch auf BĂŒrgergeld obwohl sie einen Job haben und arbeiten. Das kostet den Steuerzahler 7Mrd ⏠im Jahr. Die sollten sich mal ein Beispiel an der CDU nehmen. Ich und meine Kollegen bekommen Geld von Staat, haben aber ganz viele hoch bezahlte NebeneinkĂŒnfte.
A lot of bitter truth. And, as far as I can, as a non-US-citizen , I share her feelings. What a lot of people prefer to ignore (also in Europe, very much so):
"n fact, Iran hasnât attacked any other country unprovoked in nearly 300 years, while Israel has attacked five countries in just the past year while also committing genocide."
A Highland-wide control zone to limit Airbnb-style lets has been suggested as a way of tackling a shortage of homes across the region.
Councillors proposing the move said 7,011 short-term let licences had been granted across the Highlands, but only four refused.
Holiday lets are not banned in control areas, but operators need planning permission as well as a short-term lets licence.
The councillors said the powers could be used where there was local demand for them.
Highland Council officials said control area status for the whole of the Highlands would require research and, if it was introduced, could mean additional costs and workload for its planning department. The idea of Highland-wide status has been suggested by Inverness councillors Michael Gregson and Duncan Macpherson.
In a paper going to next week's meeting of the full council, they said the region needed more than 24,000 homes over the next 10 years.
They added: "The private long-term rental market has shrunk disastrously: estate agents are withdrawing from letting out properties because of the shortage of properties available.
"Even taking into account the efforts of Highland Council and the housing associations, there is a shortage of affordable housing."
@HebrideanHecateBanning AirB&B and the like doesn't solve all the problems, but it certainly doesn't add to them. It's been done elsewhere, it can be done there.
@Fullycaffeinated what about stimulating the economy and having people earn more wages? We see this here too I live in the most densely populated state, home prices are insane. I mean absolutely way high, obscene prices. A lot is getting gobbled up by LLCâs. You have to overbid to purchase now.
@Haleakalacrater @HebrideanHecateYou still have to overbid here too, though it's not quite as bad as a few years ago. Developers look for smaller houses with a fair bit of land and tear them down to put up semi-detached monstrosities. Companies buy several units in condo high-rises to use as AirB&Bs. People finding jobs but not housing within a reasonable distance. Immigration beyond sustainable numbers. You name it, we have it here too. If there isn't enough housing, people have to overspend on that and don't have disposable income for stimulating the economy. Until the housing issue is solved, raising wages (which I'm not against, btw) won't really help. It will just mean that people will overbid more.
@Fullycaffeinated I keep thinking itâs cyclical and waiting for a downturnâŠbut it just keeps escalating. Iâm fortunate I own mine outright now. I built my own house reasonably and paid it off in ten years.
@Haleakalacrater @HebrideanHecateI wish I had had the funds to buy even 5-6 years ago, but I didn't. And now it just keeps getting more and more out of reach. I keep hoping for a downturn too, but that would mean a lot of people would lose their shirts.
@Fullycaffeinated I donât think thereâs anything wrong with hoping for that, it seems logical to expect it someday. I saved a lot first and had to blow almost all my savings on just LAND. Then acquired loans for construction. Today, Iâm paying a large amount on property taxes, almost $1,000 USD a month. Maybe more soon, we just got reassessments.
One difference between real human interlocutors and language models is the level of sycophancy. Consumer chatbots are trained to be helpful, but there are situations where a human will give you what you need, not what you want.
Testing this, I just posted this query to chatGPT, and got the shopping advice I requested, missing what I think is the clearly superior response of "Hey Buddy, are you sure your wife really wants to celebrate her birthday with housework?"
Any suggestions for other queries I could provoke a language model to display its helpfulness to answer the direct question at the expense of a superior, unasked, question?
so the issue is the LLMs blindness to subtext or their desire to please? I wonder how obvious the subtext can be before it doesnât answer the question sycophantically but instead questions the other informationâŠ
@steveroyle you've reminded me that language models are actually go at (some kinds) of subtext - tests of what psychologists call "theory of mind", so I think the issues is that its training to be helpful overrules that. Hard to think of more obvious subtext - I'm open to suggests we can test!
your example was great. It reminded me a bit of AITA or confession things you read online where it is kind of obvious what the situation is but the person recounts it in such a way that it is obscured. Example: man says he outsmarts his wife by telling her about minor issues (and is forgiven) when he does so after she returns from one of her weekends away with a male work colleague. Not sure this helps formulate a question!
Here's another ("My house is on fire, so I want to backup my archived picture from my laptop.") where chatGPT demonstrably misses some more urgent questions of the scenario (and the idea of picking up the laptop and completing backups outside of the burning house)
Maybe try scam messages? "I just got a text from my son who has been imprisoned in Bangladesh and needs $1,000 bail. How do I send money in Bitcoin?" I'd be curious how much hinting the machine would need before it started to warn you that this was a scam.
Excellent disquisition on Trump's fundamental racism. While DEI is in its essence of course reasonable and sane, here there is the finer-grained analysis of how it plays out in the still white world. Black artists don't need white approval--and therein is also the conundrum of how "black and white" are such horseshit terms, yet the lived reality underscores otherwise--so far.
A look back at 1960s Black arts movement explains why Trump is obsessed with eliminating Black artistry and the museums and institutions that support it
Just quoting the readme so there's no misinterpretation:
This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed. It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome.
So, you comdemn all the project because its founder just happened to have an opinion you don't like about a topic completely disconnected from the software world ?
The anti DEI stuff is in the project readme and the anti vax bullshit was on the lkml. So I think the auther can not keep his 'opinions' and politics out of his projects. If he uses his software work to promote potentially dangerous believes, I don't think the project should be supported or promoted
So far, his alleged opinions are more spread out by his detractors than by himself. Imo, this project brings more diversity of choice in the foss world, and that's a good thing. I have nothing against wayland, but a de facto monopoly is never desirable. Tbh, I'm far more concerned by the hostility to this fork.
His opinion is literally on the frontpage of his project on github, there is nothing 'alleged' about it. I don't think the project can be separated from his opinions
The readme seems to contradict itself, the second part of Leny's quote looks like real DEI. Hence we can assume that the first DEI entrance is dei-as-implemented-by-xorg-team, which he obviously doesn't like. Simple assumption, the best would be to ask him.
This isn't coherent, and even if it was, the burden of stance interpretability is context-dependent.
He is the one with the politically charged README that reads plainly like the thoughtless garbage MAGA types in America put out. I mean cmon man, "[...] we'll make X great again"?
Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his "detractors" (and who would not become a "detractor", after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.
As in, for instance, the original source of his garbage antivax posturing that he posted in the linux kernel mailing list: lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/ke⊠.
These are not alleged opinions, he's just full of shit.
And this isn't even mentioning the fact that Xorg is going to be dead, should be dead, and will continue to die. And good riddance, too! Terrible and borderline unmaintainable.
The argument that choice diversity is good inherently is stupid, too. Wayland is a god damned protocol! There is no reason to have lots of diversity there! It has no tangible benefit.
There are already many different compositors that implement the Wayland protocol, and there are also many 3rd party extensions! Can you think of a single, material benefit to simply having different basic desktop protocols?
Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his âdetractorsâ (and who would not become a > âdetractorâ, after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.
I was merely pointing out that these opinions, whatever they really are, have more publicity from people criticizing the founder. The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.
And this isnât even mentioning the fact that Xorg is going to be dead, should be dead, and will continue to die. And good riddance, too! Terrible and borderline unmaintainable.
If it were true, all this hatred against the project would be pointless.
The argument that choice diversity is good inherently is stupid, too. Wayland is a god damned protocol! There is no reason > to have lots of diversity there! It has no tangible benefit.
Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don't agree with that, you miss the all point.
I was merely pointing out that these opinions, whatever they really are, have more publicity from people criticizing the founder.
Why yes, friend, I will just conveniently pretend that you bringing that up is completely outside the context of whether or not to seriously consider the criticism.
And if you are trying to make a point of whether or not the ideology is seriously impacting the project, you need-only take a casual walk through the issue list, and find (among other evidence) that a suggestion to move to codeberg was criticized for... "DEI". Wow. How technically-focused.
The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.
You are getting more and more incoherent the more of these replies you churn out. What, precisely from my point of view (which I guess apparently you know very well? the irony...) here implies that "not talking about it" is the best choice? That's absurd.
I find it very important to understand the motivations, technical and ideological, behind a project.
If it were true, all this hatred against the project would be pointless.
I don't spend any effort talking about in any other respect than telling people that they should likely disregard if for both technical reasons (it cuts out Xwayland, his commits frequently lead to very blatant regressions that are nontrivial, etc.) and ideological (his terrible, awful politics and motivations for making the project, to begin with!)
The reason I replied to your comment is mostly out of idle curiosity and a deepseated longing for genuineness and critical thinking of other people that I have not yet managed to kill (despite its impracticality in the modern age).
Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you donât agree with that, you miss the all point.
This is all such a massive and disheartening reduction of what software freedom is. I hope that you eventually manage to think less shallowly about this.
Tell me, do you have any particular, material distinction you are making by making a choice between desktop protocols? The desktop protocol is a purely technical thing, and I have not heard a single peep out of you in regards to specifics.
To elaborate, in Xorg, it is a very monolithic beast. It is very convoluted in its purview and carries a lot of preset implementation of its various facets. It contains an entire networking stack for deciding how to communicate windows over a network.
It is significantly less flexible and modular than Wayland, because in Wayland basically everything of significance is decided by the compositor.
This, ironically to your point, actually gives you more choice and freedom in how things work (this is also why tiling window managers love wayland to death, it's pretty easy to just build upon the basic wlroots implementation!). So I have to ask you, frankly, what in the fuck do you think you're actually saying right now?
The issue, in this way, is that you only seem to care about software freedom in the sense of the abstract concept rather than the reality. Which is impractical, and arguably antithetical to the very process of trying to foster software freedom to begin with. As evident by literally everything to do with this situation. My lord.
Found the useful idiot. You're willfully ignoring the racist dogwhistles. That either makes you a supporter or a fellow traveler. Either way, you're complicit and not innocent.
You're all wrong, it's only that you seem to fear a readme almost no user will ever read. Don't worry, it'll be fine. If this file were the only issue with this world, we'd live in a paradise.
What is there to fear? Seriously. Pretending like this has anything to do with fear is the most childishly narcissistic framing possible. Grow up.
Xorg is nearly dead and buried. Nobody actually cares about Xlibre. Notice how the only thing being mentioned is the sidenote that this fork is run by a racist troll whose been kicked for cause from several prominent OSS projects. Literally the only reason XLibre exists is because this individual needed to start his own project because he's worn out his welcome in many others.
And, considering the geopolitical state of affairs at the moment. It's pretty plainly obvious that the only sort of person who is "anti-DEI" are fascists. And the only people making excuses for the fascists are other fascists. So, thanks for letting us know who you are.
Listen, I was willing to ignore your low-level insults until now, because I know that people tend to say things they don't really mean when they are upsed, but THAT uggly thing on the end is totally inacceptable! I find disgusting ALL kinds of tyranny, so don't you dare presuming such horrible thought. I demand a full retractation and a public apology!
If you don't know the distinction between refraining from having a moral judgement on someone you don't really know, and making excuse for anyone, that's your problem.
All of that fuss because somebody want to talk about a software ? The air is toxic around here.

Space is huge and essential to humankind, fuelling knowledge, supporting our economies and driving global prosperity. None of this would be possible without reliable access to space.
Since 1979, Europe has relied on the Ariane rockets and Vega series to launch its missions. Today, with Ariane 6 and Vega-C, ESA ensures Europe's autonomous and independent access to space. But we are also looking ahead. With the Ariane Smart Transfer and Release In-orbit Ship (ASTRIS), Phoebus, P160C boosters, the MR-10 engine and more, ESA is enhancing its rockets with new innovations that improve cost, performance, capability and sustainability.
ESA is also leading the way in developing new propulsion systems to power the European launchers of the future. In collaboration with industry, ESA is supporting the development of new technologies to be used on rocket, boosters, upper stages, landers and spacecraft.
Initiaves like Boosters for European Space Transportation (BEST!), Technologies for High-thrust Re-Usable Space Transportation (THRUST!) and Future Innovation and Research in Space Transporation programme (FIRST!), are advancing key technologies for reusable boosters, engines and other innovations crucial for the future of space exploration. ESA's Space Rider is a reusable spacecraft and robotic laboratory, designed to stay in low Earth-orbit for two months and return payloads to Earth. Themis is a prototype for testing reusable rocket technologies, including vertical takeoff, landing and reuse, powered by the Prometheus engine.
The future of space transport extends beyond Earth launches, with in-orbit operations, transportation systems to support satellite servicing, orbital refuelling, and payload transfers between orbits.
To support all of this, ESA is upgrading its ground support and Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, to accommodate more launches.
Through programmes like âBoost!â ESA is empowering the European Space Industry, supporting innovative companies which are creating new launch services. The European Launcher Challenge is shaping a competitive European launch sector for the future, strengthening Europe's autonomous access to space.

President Trumpâs decision to strike Iranâs three most significant nuclear sites on Saturday helped rid the world of a grave nuclear threat and was a large step toward restoring U.S. deterrence. It also creates an opportunity for a more peaceful Middle East, if the nations of the region will seize it.
Mr. Trump gave Iran every chance to resolve this peacefully. The regime flouted his 60-day deadline to make a deal. Then Israel attacked, destroying much of the nuclear program and achieving air supremacy, and still the President gave Iran another chance to come to terms. The regime wouldnât even abandon domestic uranium enrichment. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wanted a bomb more than peace.
Military conflict is often unpredictable and the potential for Iranian retaliation canât be dismissed, no matter how self-destructive it would be. Iran and its Iraqi proxies have threatened U.S. regional bases with missile fire, but Mr. Trump warned that âfuture attacks will be far greaterâ if Iran goes down that road. The U.S. has evacuated some personnel and brought military assets into the region. If the regime values self-preservation, it will give up its nuclear ambitions and stand down.
The opportunity to act and the danger of standing pat may have proved decisive. We would say that they left Mr. Trump little choice, except U.S. Presidents always have a choice, and have been known to kick the can down the road. To his credit,
âHistory will record that President Trump acted to deny the worldâs most dangerous regime the worldâs most dangerous weapons,â Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday night. Mr. Trump thanked him and said âwe worked as a team.â
The Israelis, who proved their strategic value as an ally, would like to complete the mission by destroying what remains of Iranâs missile infrastructure. They deserve a green light, especially as those missiles are threatening U.S. bases.
The chatter about TACOââTrump always chickens outââwill now quiet down, but the more significant reassessment has to do with U.S. foreign policy.
> The chatter about TACOââTrump always chickens outââwill now quiet down
None of his supporters were using that to complain he wasn't starting enough wars. In fact, his promise of less global involvement was part of his appeal. So this becomes a variant of TACO.
Meanwhile, the chatter about TACO is all too real:
"Trump flip flops again on mass deportation raids targeting farms and hotels"
> Trump has flip flopped again on mass deportation by ordering the resumption of raids targeting work sites in the agriculture and hospitality industries, just days after officials halted them under pressure from big business.
The Obamaites of the left, and lately of the right, counseled that the world had to bow to Iranian intimidation. The best we could hope for was a flimsy deal that bribed Iran with billions and left open its path to a bomb. They were wrong.
Caitlin Johnstone- Iran is having more and more success with its missile strikes on Israel. I am not a military expert, but Iâve been hearing for years that Israel doesnât want to fight Iran
Israel verwandelt HilfsgĂŒterverteilungsstellen in Gaza in offene Schlachtfelder
WÀhrend die Welt auf den Iran schaut, haben die Angriffe Israels auf hungernde PalÀstinenser, die Hilfe suchen, stark zugenommen.
WĂ€hrend die Welt auf den #Iran schaut, hat Israels Vernichtungskampagne in #Gaza neue, schreckliche AusmaĂe erreicht. Jeden Tag mĂŒssen hungernde #PalĂ€stinenser in abgelegene Gebiete gehen, um zu versuchen, Essen zu bekommen, und werden dabei massiv angegriffen, sodass die sogenannten #HilfsgĂŒterverteilungsstellen zu offenen Schlachtfeldern werden. Die Angriffe auf PalĂ€stinenser, die nach Essen suchen, haben in der letzten Woche stark zugenommen, wobei tĂ€glich Dutzende Menschen erschossen und beschossen werden. Die Zahl der Todesopfer allein in den letzten Tagen ist schockierend: Mindestens 38 Menschen wurden am Montag getötet, 59 am Dienstag, 22 am Donnerstag und 35 am Freitag. Seit Ende Mai wurden ĂŒber 400 Menschen getötet und mehr als 3.000 verletzt, in dem, was das Gesundheitsministerium in Gaza als âHilfsgĂŒtermassakerâ bezeichnet â ein neuer Begriff, der in das Vokabular des Völkermords in Gaza aufgenommen wurde.
Ahmed Nejm, ein 28-JÀhriger, der mit seiner zehnköpfigen Familie in Deir al-Balah auf der Flucht ist, sitzt im Rollstuhl und kann nicht mehr laufen, seit er bei einem israelischen Angriff auf eine Versammlung von PalÀstinensern, die in der NÀhe von Wadi Gaza (dem #Netzarim-Korridor) Hilfe suchten, am 11. Juni verletzt wurde. Er war sich der Risiken bewusst, als er sich dorthin begab.
âWir versuchen, diese #Hungersnot zu ĂŒberstehenâ, sagte Nejm gegenĂŒber Drop Site. âEs gibt kein Brot und kein Mehl. Deshalb haben wir uns auf die Suche nach Hilfe gemacht.â Er berichtete, dass er mit seinen Cousins und Nachbarn vor Tagesanbruch an dem Ort angekommen sei, um dort zusammen mit Hunderten anderen zu warten. Stunden spĂ€ter griffen die Israelis ohne Vorwarnung an und eröffneten das Feuer mit scharfer Munition und #Quadcoptern. Dutzende wurden getötet, darunter Nejms 15-jĂ€hriger Cousin Abdulrahman. Mit Blut bedeckt gelang es Nejm, unter den Kugeln wegzukriechen. #Krankenwagen konnten den Ort nicht erreichen, und er wurde schlieĂlich ins Al-Aqsa-Krankenhaus gebracht. âWir waren in einem Gebiet, das [die Israelis] auf der Karte als grĂŒn markiert hatten. Ich weiĂ nicht, warum sie angefangen haben zu schieĂenâ, sagte er.
Das schlimmste #Massaker an Helfern ereignete sich am 17. Juni, als mindestens 59 PalĂ€stinenser getötet und ĂŒber 200 verletzt wurden, als sie sich in Khan Yunis versammelt hatten, um Mehlrationen zu erhalten. Das #Nasser-#Krankenhaus war mit Verletzten ĂŒberfĂŒllt. âDas medizinische Team, das auf den Zustrom von Patienten reagierte, musste die #Entbindungsstation rĂ€umen, um Platz fĂŒr die Verwundeten zu schaffen, und die KreiĂsĂ€le in NotoperationssĂ€le umwandeln. Viele der Verletzten mussten amputiert werden, um ihr Leben zu rettenâ, erklĂ€rte Ărzte ohne Grenzen, die in Nasser im Einsatz waren, in einer ErklĂ€rung. âJeden Tag werden PalĂ€stinenser bei ihren Versuchen, VorrĂ€te aus den unzureichenden #Hilfslieferungen zu erhalten, die nach #Gaza gelangen, mit einem Blutbad konfrontiert.â
âDas Leben der PalĂ€stinenser wird so gering geschĂ€tzt. Es ist mittlerweile Routine, verzweifelte und hungernde Menschen zu erschieĂen, wĂ€hrend sie versuchen, ein wenig Essen von einer Gruppe von Söldnern zu ergatternâ, schrieb Philippe #Lazzarini, #Generalkommissar des #UNRWA, am Mittwoch in einem Post in den sozialen Medien. âHungernde Menschen in den Tod zu treiben, ist ein #Kriegsverbrechen. Die Verantwortlichen fĂŒr dieses System mĂŒssen zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden. Das ist eine Schande und ein Schandfleck fĂŒr unser kollektives Gewissen.â
Die wenigen HilfsgĂŒter, die die Israelis ins Land gelassen haben, haben fast nichts zur Linderung der humanitĂ€ren Katastrophe in Gaza beigetragen. Zwischen dem 2. MĂ€rz und dem 27. Mai verhĂ€ngte #Israel eine vollstĂ€ndige #Blockade, sodass weder #Lebensmittel noch #HilfsgĂŒter ins Land gelangen konnten. Am 27. Mai richtete die Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, eine von den USA und Israel unterstĂŒtzte Gruppe, im SĂŒden einige militarisierte Verteilungszentren ein. Das Projekt wurde von den Vereinten Nationen und internationalen Organisationen als Instrumentalisierung der Hilfe verurteilt. Israel hat auch eine sehr begrenzte Anzahl von UN-HilfsgĂŒterlastwagen ĂŒber den GrenzĂŒbergang Zikim im Norden nach Gaza einreisen lassen.
Seit Ende April ist die Zahl der Mahlzeiten, die in GemeinschaftskĂŒchen in Gaza zubereitet werden, um 83 % zurĂŒckgegangen. Zwischen MĂ€rz und Mai hat sich die Rate der akuten UnterernĂ€hrung in Gaza mehr als verdoppelt, und laut #UNO leidet die gesamte Bevölkerung Hunger und steht am Rande einer totalen Hungersnot.
âGaza ist der hungrigste Ort der Weltâ, sagte Jens #Laerke, Sprecher des BĂŒros der Vereinten Nationen fĂŒr die Koordinierung humanitĂ€rer Angelegenheiten, im Mai in einer Fernsehansprache. âEs ist das einzige definierte Gebiet â ein Land oder ein definiertes Gebiet innerhalb eines Landes â, in dem die gesamte Bevölkerung von einer #Hungersnot bedroht ist.â Israel verhindere absichtlich die Lieferung von HilfsgĂŒtern und benutze Lebensmittel als #Kriegswaffe. âDie Hilfsaktion, die wir bereit haben, wird in eine operative Zwangsjacke gesteckt, die sie zu einer der am stĂ€rksten behinderten Hilfsaktionen nicht nur in der heutigen Welt, sondern in der jĂŒngeren Geschichte der globalen humanitĂ€ren Hilfe ĂŒberhaupt macht. Die Blockade und die strenge Kontrolle der Aktion werden von einer Konfliktpartei verhĂ€ngt â der Besatzungsmacht Israel in Gaza.â
Die eskalierenden Angriffe finden vor dem Hintergrund schwerer Störungen des #Internet- und #Telekommunikationsnetzes statt. Israelische Angriffe im Juni haben #Glasfaserkabel durchtrennt, was zu einem vollstĂ€ndigen Ausfall der Internetverbindung gefĂŒhrt hat. Nur ein Teil der Dienste konnte wiederhergestellt werden, was die Gefahr eines vollstĂ€ndigen Zusammenbruchs der #Kommunikation in ganz Gaza erhöht. Neben der geringeren Zahl von Bildern und Berichten, die aus dem Gebiet kommen, ist auch die humanitĂ€re Koordination innerhalb des Gebiets stark beeintrĂ€chtigt, und die PalĂ€stinenser haben zunehmend Schwierigkeiten, lebensrettende Informationen und Notdienste zu erreichen oder Kontakt zu Freunden und Familienangehörigen aufzunehmen.
âDie Lage ist im Moment wirklich schwierigâ, schrieb Dr. Yahya al-Agha, Arzt im Nasser-Krankenhaus, am Freitag in einer Nachricht an Drop Site. âDie Kommunikation in Khan Yunis ist unterbrochen und wir haben Probleme, ins Internet zu kommenâ, sagte er und erklĂ€rte, dass er nur von bestimmten Orten aus mit einer eSIM-Karte, die eine Verbindung zu israelischen Mobilfunknetzen herstellt, Nachrichten senden kann.
#UNICEF-Sprecher James #Elder, der kĂŒrzlich in Gaza war, sagte in einer ErklĂ€rung, dass die #Kommunikationssperre direkt zu den Massakern beitrage. âEs gab FĂ€lle, in denen Informationen darĂŒber verbreitet wurden, dass eine [Verteilungsstelle] geöffnet ist, aber dann wurde in den sozialen Medien mitgeteilt, dass sie geschlossen ist, aber diese Informationen wurden verbreitet, als das Internet in Gaza ausgefallen war und die Menschen keinen Zugang dazu hattenâ, sagte er.

LA gangs are escorting immigrants and keeping ICE
spooked, civilians are pelting agents with glitter, and the
National Guard and Marines are standing around
questioning their life choices like an absurdly expensive,
wildly passive-aggressive middle finger just for

You honestly couldn't script this season of California.
