Gaza (Quds News Network)- Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan has condemned Israel’s “engineered starvation” and genocide in Gaza as “a crime against humanity,” adding that the Israeli captives held in

I love that it’s 22 random developers (or devs that are on his payroll and would say anything that their boss wants them to say?), so the source is basically: Trust me, tech bro.
Haha. Yeah, I started to move to sourcehut and it is great. Sure, not as flashy but it works really well and the devs are no evil fuckfaces as the microsoft people are.
What started as fear of AI replacing developers is switching to pragmatically embracing the ambitious reality of AI and viewing it as a growth opportunity.
he is a bloody idiot. He doesn’t even know what #AI is! He means #LLM. LLM generates buggy code and often doesn’t even compile. Often it is not portable. It is non deterministic. That alone should say everything. The AI craze is the tech Frankenstein and it’s a giant scam. I wouldn’t worry about what someone who clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about let alone his arse from his elbow is talking about. AI my arse.
and someone should start a list of all the broken code LLM has generated and link back to his post. Maybe I should. Just a matter of finding the time. He doesn’t have a bloody clue. It’s just noise from a person who clearly doesn’t know much about programming if he knows anything about it at all.
@xexyl To quote Upton Sinclair (likely badly from memory), it’s difficult to get a man to understand something if his salary depends on his not understanding it.
That's a classic - and so very very true! I think also that CEOs (I think I saw that) really are not only clueless but totally out of touch. Even OpenAI - the name - is a misnomer at best. They can talk about it being #AI all they want but the fact ChatGPT doesn't learn (memories don't count) and will give different answers over and over again says it all. We should be thankful. But perhaps not: google's so-called 'AI' Overview has said some extremely dangerous and deadly things!
if any of it was a good idea, even in theory, I’d still be a software dev. AI wasn’t the only reason I left, but it was the loudest. Enjoy your temporary shareholder dividends or whatever, Tom.
That does beg the question of how many open source projects I mean significant ones will need to consider moving their code bases to an entirely different repository
Can anyone recommend similar services for private repos? I have a half-dozen private projects I want to keep in the cloud, and I want my resume hosted on a static site.
Ideally something that runs forgejo, since we're using that for work, and hosted outside the US because <waves arms>.
Sourcehut looks neat, but not sure it's mature yet.
me thinks the tech bro doth protest too much! If his product is so great then why does he need to force his customers to use it? This isn't an industrial revolution; it's a cargo cult.

🟥GAZA🟥 Selon le Jerusalem Post, #Netanyahou a pris une décision fondamentale concernant l'occupation totale de #Gaza. Dans les prochains jours, la question sera soumise à la discussion du cabinet des ministres d'Israël. Netanyahu a décidé une occupation militaire totale de la bande de Gaza. Il a annoncé cette intention dans une vidéo publiée le 4 août 2025, déclarant que l’armée israélienne serait instruite pour occuper et soumettre le Hamas, malgré des réserves au sein de l’armée israélienne. Cette décision inclut des opérations militaires dans des zones où des otages sont présumés être détenus, ce qui suscite des inquiétudes quant à leur sécurité.
Netanyahu a réitéré ses trois objectifs principaux : éliminer le Hamas, libérer les otages israéliens (environ 50 restants, dont 20 seraient encore en vie), et s’assurer que Gaza ne représente plus une menace pour Israël. Il a insisté sur une opération «intensive» impliquant le déplacement de la population palestinienne vers le sud pour des raisons de «protection», mais cette mesure a été critiquée car elle s’apparente à une expulsion forcée. L’état-major de Tsahal a exprimé des réserves, estimant qu’une occupation totale visant à démanteler les infrastructures du Hamas pourrait prendre des années et mettrait en danger les otages. Le principal opposant à la résolution de la question de Gaza par la voie militaire est le chef d'état-major de l'armée israélienne, Eyal Zamir, ce qui a déjà fortement détérioré ses relations avec Netanyahou. Selon Zamir, l'occupation de Gaza exigera un très grand effort de la part d'une armée déjà très fatiguée. Zamir estime également que la priorité d' #Israël doit être la libération des otages, et non l'annexion du territoire.
Dans l'entourage de Netanyahou, la position du chef d'état-major est clairement source d'irritation. Mais, en fin de compte, soit Zamir présentera à Netanyahou un plan d'occupation militaire de Gaza, soit il sera contraint de partir. En revanche, des membres de la coalition d’extrême droite, comme Itamar Ben-Gvir et Bezalel Smotrich, soutiennent cette approche, prônant même un arrêt total de l’aide humanitaire et une conquête complète de Gaza. Plan post-conflit : Un document intitulé «Gaza Security and Recovery Program» (décembre 2023) exclut explicitement la souveraineté de l’Autorité palestinienne et la présence de l’UNRWA à Gaza. Ce plan, soutenu par des figures d’extrême droite comme Ohad Tal et Simcha Rothman, envisage un contrôle israélien à long terme, sans préciser si cela inclut une annexion formelle.
En ce qui concerne les négociations avec le #Hamas, c’est l’impasse. Les discussions pour un cessez-le-feu et la libération des otages sont au point mort. Le 25 juillet 2025, Netanyahu et l’envoyé spécial américain Steve #Witkoff ont accusé le Hamas de négocier de mauvaise foi, ce qui a entraîné le retrait des délégations israélienne et américaine des pourparlers au Qatar.
Les #États-Unis et Israël envisagent désormais un accord global («all or nothing») plutôt qu’un cessez-le-feu temporaire par phases, comme proposé précédemment. Cette approche, soutenue par Donald Trump, vise à libérer tous les otages et mettre fin à la guerre en une seule étape, mais elle est jugée difficile à réaliser, car le Hamas exige un cessez-le-feu complet, un retrait israélien total de Gaza et une reconstruction de l’enclave.
Le #Hamas a indiqué être prêt à reprendre les négociations, mais seulement si la crise humanitaire à #Gaza est résolue en priorité, notamment en augmentant l’aide alimentaire et médicale. Selon le bureau des médias de Gaza, il faudrait 600 camions d’aide par jour pour atténuer la #famine, alors que seulement 84 camions en moyenne entrent quotidiennement.
Des pays comme le Royaume-Uni, la France et le Canada menacent de reconnaître un État palestinien si Israël ne change pas de cap et n’autorise pas davantage d’aide humanitaire. Netanyahu rejette ces pressions, qualifiant la reconnaissance d’un État palestinien de «récompense au terrorisme».
Selon l’ONU, la situation à Gaza est désastreuse, avec plus de 93 % des enfants au bord de la #famine. Israël a levé partiellement le blocus en mai 2025, mais les restrictions persistent, et les convois d’aide sont souvent pillés par des civils désespérés ou des groupes organisés.
Les familles des otages et de nombreux responsables sécuritaires israéliens estiment qu’une offensive militaire accrue risque de condamner les otages restants. Des organisations humanitaires, comme le Conseil norvégien pour les réfugiés, dénoncent le plan israélien comme une tentative de «militariser» et «politiser» l’aide en aggravant la famine.
Malgré la pression internationale, #Netanyahu a décidé d'aller jusqu'au bout. Sans le "feu vert" des États-Unis, il n'aurait bien sûr pas pris une telle décision. #Trump est sans doute impatient de commencer à transformer Gaza, débarrassée des Palestiniens, en la Riviera du Moyen-Orient.
At this point, I’m not sure whether it’s better to warn people about buying a Tesla or not. Sure, people die horribly in them. But also, the only people buying a Tesla today are either full-on Nazis or people for whom fascism isn’t a deal breaker, so… 🤷♂️ raggedfeathers.com/@lilithsain…

I think a lot of people don't know. I recently talked with someone whose parent lost their job at the Pentagon, but my acquaintance didn't know who Musk is. She gets all of her news from TikTok, and who knows what the algorithm is feeding her.
We've got the destruction of critical news sources and poor media literacy to contend with in addition to people being fascist (or okay with fascism).
Here is my local and anecdotal observation. I've been specifically looking at the drivers of facelifted Tesla models which have definitely been purchased within the last year for a while now here in the SF Bay Area. Easily 60% of drivers are Asian looking people, 30% Black. The white people are usually older, in their 70's. Very few white bro that fits the profile. I don't know what to make of it.
@lilithsaintcrow Warn them, it’s not only people buying the cars that might be in them and not only people in the cars that might be hurt by autopilot. They probably won’t listen though.

A precautionary warning about the @doaaalbaz0 Mastodon account at mas.to/@doaaalbaz0 that claims to be a journalist in Gaza.
The account followed me and immediately sent a DM. It appears to have done so to others as I saw two failed DMs with exact same text. Talked to them here and gave them my Signal. Asked them on Signal if they could add their Mastodon account to their Instagram bio as a means of verification as we’ve just had another journalist impersonated here.
No reply and I got blocked here.
I’ve contacted +972 magazine who she has written for to see if they can get in touch and ask her. (She has an Instagram but I don’t so I can’t contact her there. If someone else can, please do, but please coordinate among yourselves in the replies before doing so so she doesn’t get a dozen messages but just one.)
In the meanwhile, please exercise caution.
Unlike the other account, this one doesn’t have a donation URL but might be asking for personal info, etc., in direct messages.
They must not do such a thing as they tend to control 90%+ of all oil distributed in the world and if they were to leave they would lose this overnight. If they do there will be nothing left of the Western Global Empire, the US, the UK, the EU, then Japan/SK, then AUS/NZ, all crumbling down.

Ici le beau temps est au rendez-vous sur cette plage dont je crois tu connais un peu les galets.
J’ai lu hier que tu te félicitais de l’annonce de la reconnaissance annoncée de la Palestine comme État en septembre prochain. Tu écris « Déjà en 2014 l’Assemblée nationale votait à l’initiative du groupe socialiste une résolution appelant à la reconnaissance de l’État palestinien » et tu poursuis « Il aura fallu 9 ans et une famine organisée pour que l’exécutif suive ».
Bravo, c’est bien torché. Ton tweet a bien été partagé. Tu aurais pu aussi ajouter que les deux Assemblées (Sénat et Assemblée nationale) dans leur résolution demandaient au gouvernement de reconnaître l’État de Palestine, mais sans doute faute de place, tu l’as omis.
Si mes souvenirs sont bons, le président c’était bien François en 2014 ? Le temps passe si vite que parfois la mémoire fait défaut. Mais toi tu dois t’en souvenir qui étais déjà un des boss du PS. Bon on a rien vu venir.
François avait sans doute d’autres priorités, casser le code du travail pour renforcer la compétitivité de notre économie et supprimer les carcans sociaux d’un temps révolu.
Aurais-tu oublié, j’ai du mal à le croire, qu’en décembre 2014, ne voyant toujours rien venir, toute la gauche syndicale et politique (à l’exception de ton parti) et toutes les associations du Collectif National pour une Paix Juste et Durable entre Palestiniens et Israéliens se sont adressés "solennellement" à François, lui demandant, fort des votes majoritaires des deux Assemblées de prendre ses responsabilités avec cette phrase forte : « Monsieur le Président, le temps est venu de reconnaître immédiatement l’État de Palestine sur les bases du droit international et des résolutions des Nations-Unies. Par ce choix, la France dira clairement qu’il n’est pas de paix hors du droit. » Que de temps perdu depuis 9 ans, et comme tu as raison de le préciser Olivier, je te fais des bises à partager avec le député de Tulle, ici comme partout l’orage menace.

N’élevez pas les murs de la mésentente.

Tamar Meggido & Ronit Levine-Schnur & Yael Barda: »#Israel Has Already Annexed the #WestBank in Practice. Last month, Israel's Knesset voted in favor of the recognition of the State's right to Judea and Samaria, and the advancement of Israeli sovereignty over Jewish settlements in Area C. In reality, #annexation has already taken place« haaretz.com/opinion/2025-08-05… (Paywall)
Last month, Israel's Knesset voted in favor of the recognition of the State's right to Judea and Samaria, and the advancement of Israeli sovereignty over Jewish settlements in Area C. In reality, annexation has already taken place
»The basic assumption in the Israeli public discourse, which includes right-wingers as well as center-left politicians, is that annexation requires an official announcement, such as legislation or a public declaration that changes the status of the territories. It seems that this is also the approach which was adopted by other countries. But that's an assumption that is legally inaccurate. In fact, the annexation of territory doesn't require a declaration or a legislative act.«
»As we have argued in a recent scholarly article published by the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, to recognize that a "full" annexation is taking place, it is sufficient to look at the normative organizing framework with which the state manages the territory, the organizational structure and the bureaucratic machinery of the state; and the symbolic performance of power.«
Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, haben Siedler auch schon erfolgreich dagegen geklagt, ausgerechnet im Zusammenhang mit Verbrsucherschutz, von israelischen Firmen als Auslandskunden behandelt zu werden.
»The International Court of Justice, in its July 2024 Advisory Opinion, also adopted the position that annexation does not require an official declaration. It also found that Israel had already annexed at least parts of Area C. In other words, an undeclared annexation, accomplished through bureaucratic means, is annexation.«
»The actions of the Israeli government in the past two years have resulted in Israel already completing the annexation of the territories, without a political roadmap or legislation. It did this by comprehensively changing the authority of the state bodies operating in the territories, the structure and methods of its control over the territories, and the way in which budgets allocated to establishing and deepening Israeli control are utilized.«
»The military apparatus that governed the West Bank in recent decades, until recently, and which regarded itself as subject to international law, no longer exists. If until two years ago the West Bank was viewed as under military rule, today it is governed by Israel's civilian ministries. The Civil Administration is now subordinate to Bezalel Smotrich, who serves as an additional minister in the Defense Ministry.«
»This annexation isn't taking place on the pages of the newspaper [...] but through the wording of administrative documents, the transfer of budget items, a change in planning principles, accelerating licensing processes, the transfer of powers regarding land, developing infrastructure in favor of the settlements and including the settlements in Israel's infrastructure and civil law system. These steps are creating civilian Israeli sovereignty in the territories. «
»What's the problem? In addition to the fact that annexation is totally forbidden according to international law, the infrastructure and government structures that were designed by the government in the territories are based on institutionalized discrimination, without granting civil rights to the Palestinian residents and through systematic discrimination against them when it comes to budgets and resources. «
»It is also a democratic problem: Annexation without rights is an apartheid regime. When 2 populations live in the same area, under diff. legal systems, diff. rights & diff. representation in pol. Institutions – that's a regime that discriminates in a structural & systematic manner. And the denial of this reality by elected officials who refuse to recognize the fact that annexation is already here are helping to perpetuate violations of the law & the erosion of the democratic values [...]«
»But the annexation's effect is not limited to the apartheid that is directed at the marginalized Palestinian population. It's seeping in and destroying the foundations of the country. The significant increase in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank – and the chain of attacks and arson by groups of settlers, some of them with the support of the army – heralds the shift from an apartheid regime with separate laws for different populations to one in which the rule of law is a fiction,«
»The denial of the rule of law in the territories leads to a similar denial within the "Green Line" and in every other territory where the IDF operates. The time has come to acknowledge that one of the main goals of the judicial overhaul – removing the barriers to annexation – was already achieved. And like in a self-nourishing cycle, annexation also enables the continued entrenchment of the judicial coup's regime. «
Es ist also deutlich - wer einer Idee eines Staates Israel anhängt, dass eine Demokratie und ein Rechtsstaat ist, sich aber weigert anzuerkennen dass der Staat Israel gerade eine Annektion der Westbank und Gazas durchzieht, Apartheid leugnet und nicht gehen Apartheid, Siedlungen, Vertreibungen und Annektion protestiert, der arbeitet daran mit dass der Staat Israel definitiv kein Rechtsstaat und keine Demokratie sein kann, egal wie oft derjenige sagt, dass er Netanyahu doof findet.
Übrigens: Heute wird der sogenannte E1-Plan vorangetrieben - ein neues Infrastrukturprojekt in der WestBank - was dazu dienen soll zahlreiche palästinensische Communities in der #Westbank komplett voneinander abzuschneiden.
Es ist quasi der letzte Infrastruktur-Baustein, der einer 2-Staatenlösung endgültig den Todesstoß versetzen wird, wenn er umgesetzt wird.

The Higher Planning Council will convene on August 6, 2025 to complete the hearing of objections submitted against the plans to build thousands of housing units in E1.
Damit kann sich wirklich keiner mehr herausreden, der von einer "verhandelten Zweistaatenlösung" als Ziel spricht. Die einzige Option dafür wäre ein umgehender komplett-Rückzug des israelischen Staats mit allen Siedlern aus den besetzten palästinensischen Gebieten.
Wer das nicht fordern will, und dafür keinen Druck aufbauen möchte, dem bleibt nur noch Apartheid und Genozid übrig - oder eben dass es einen nicht-religiösen demokratischen Staat mit vollen, gleichen Rechten für alle gibt.
Hans Jessen hat zur Bundesregierung zu E1 gefragt: sinngemäß: "wir lehnen das entschieden ab, das wäre völkerrechtswidrig, eine 2-Staatenlösung muss möglich bleiben" Was die Bundesregierungen über die verbale Ablehnung hinaus machen? "Wir bleiben in Gespräch und machen das deutlich"
PeaceNow meldet, dass die finale Sitzung, in der das E1-Infrastrukturprojekt in der #Westbank, beschlossen werden soll bereits in der nächsten Woche - am 20.8.25 stattfinden wird.
Es handelt sich um den letzten Baustein, mit dem sich der Staat #Israel das Territorium der Westbank endgültig einverleibt, und damit die letzte Chance auf eine Zweistaatenlösung endgültig unmöglich macht.
Yesterday (13/8/25), the Subcommittee for Objections of the Higher Planning Council published the protocol from its hearing on the objections to the E1 plans, held on 6/8/25.
Wer also nach diesem Beschluss noch immer davon spricht, dass er eine "verhandelte Zweistaatenlösung will", ohne die ganzen Siedlungen, sämtliche Siedler, ihre Unternehmen und Organisationen und das sie unterstützende Militar vollständig und umfassend zu sanktionieren der lügt über seine Motive.
Ohne Komplett-Sanktion von Siedlungen und Besatzungsregime wird E1 sicher gebaut - eine Verhanlungslösung für einen Staat Palästina ist damit völlig unmöglich.
Hier noch ein Thread von Daniel Seidemann darüber was E1 bedeutet
»E-1 has long been considered by virtually all of the int'l community as the "doomsday settlement".«
»E-1 will dismember the West Bank into 2 cantons, making a viable Palestinians State impossible. It will seal of Jerusalem from the West Bank, preventing a Palestinians capital. «
»Should the Plan be allowed to proceed, it will indicate that there is no red line that Netanyahu will not cross«

Die Pläne existieren seit vielen Jahren und sind hoch umstritten: Nun soll das Siedlungsprojekt E1 im Westjordanland kommen. Finanzminister Smotrich sagte, es gebe keine Chance für einen palästinensischen Staat.
Smotrich: »"We are definitively burying the idea of a Palestinian state. We will make sure that by September, Europe's hypocritical leaders will have nothing to recognize."«
Reaktion der Bundesregierung: »"Der Siedlungsbau verstößt gegen das Völkerrecht und einschlägige Resolutionen des UN-Sicherheitsrats, sagte ein Sprecher des Auswärtigen Amtes. "Er erschwert eine verhandelte Zweistaatenlösung sowie ein Ende der israelischen Besatzung des Westjordanlands, wie der Internationale Gerichtshof es fordert."« tagesschau.de/ausland/asien/is…
Wahrscheinlich wird man in der israelischen Regierung darüber herzlich darüber lachen und sagen: That's exactly what we want.
Die Pläne der israelischen Regierung, im besetzten Westjordanland Tausende neue Wohneinheiten zu bauen, stoßen auf scharfe Kritik. Unter anderem die Bundesregierung wirft Israel die Missachtung internationalen Rechts vor.
Solche Statements kann man eigentlich nur erklären, wenn man annimmt, dass die Bundesregierung nicht weiss was sie tut oder genau weiss was sie tut aber halbherzig zeigen will dass sie was anders will.
Das entscheidende Problem ist halt dass all diese Äußerungen nicht von Taten unterfüttert sind. Damit kommen wir keinen Millimeter weiter. Nur einschneidende Sanktionen würden helfen.
The decision of Israeli authorities to advance the E1 settlement plan further undermines the two-state solution while being a breach of international law.
MK Aida Touma-Sliman macht anlässlich der Bewilligung der E1-Pläne klar, dass die internationale Gemeinschaft verstehen muss, dass die israelische Regierung buchstäblich alles tun wird um jede Möglichkeit für palästinensische Staatlichkeit zu verhindern - Gewalt, Vertreibungen, Infrastruktur, Tötungen.
Die Antwort darauf muss nicht nur die Anerkennung eines palästinensischen Staats sein - sondern echtes Handeln - einschneidende, massive Sanktionen.

Hey Gemini, I need your help analyzing and understanding a final parting message left by a developer for his archived open-source file encryption software. Can you me with that?
Sanctions don't work; perhaps diplomacy would help. The European Union, meanwhile, continues to hurt itself. Last months it sanctioned an Indian refinery for buying Russian oil which promptly led to higher diesel prices in Europe:
The recent EU sanctions on India’s Niara Energy refinery have removed approximately fifteen percent of European diesel imports overnight, sending prices higher and creating significant market volatility.
... With alternative supplies needed from the Middle East, Asia, and the US, diesel prices have jumped from $2.40 to $2.47 per gallon, and gas oil has climbed from $700 to $725 per metric ton. The shift comes amid already tight global supply, with Europe now required to pay a premium to attract new barrels.
It is also planning new sanctions on China even as China has proven to have escalation dominance in trade and is certain to hit back.
The attempt to fight Russia by secondary sanctions against its customers is likely to fail.
We can thus expect more attacks on Russia related shipping.
Fun fact: Microsoft also jumped onto the 'sanctions' train and blocked Nayara Energy's (if same company) entire cloud stack, like M365, Outlook E-Mail, Azure instances etc., despite Nayara having fully paid their licenses!
For IT folks: perhaps there's a lesson somewhere in this?

Das Bild besteht aus vier quadratischen Bildern, die nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Jedes Bild zeigt eine ähnliche Szene, in der ein nackter Mann und eine Frau in einem Sessel sitzen. Die Frau liegt auf dem Rücken, während der Mann vor ihr sitzt. Die Bilder sind in verschiedene Stile und Farben bearbeitet:
Das obere linke Bild zeigt die Szene in einem natürlichen Farbton, mit einem emoji über dem Gesicht des Mannes.
Das obere rechte Bild ist ebenfalls in natürlichen Farben, mit demselben emoji über dem Gesicht des Mannes.
Das untere linke Bild ist in einem goldenen Farbton mit Sternen und Blüten, ebenfalls mit dem emoji über dem Gesicht des Mannes.
Das untere rechte Bild ist in einem blauen Farbton, mit dem emoji über dem Gesicht des Mannes.
Jedes Bild zeigt die gleiche Szene, aber mit unterschiedlichen visuellen Effekten.

Danke für die Antworten. Ich hoffe es hat etwas Spaß gemacht. Ich dachte nicht, dass ihr euch des Voyeurismus schuldig fühlt. Sehr selbstreflektierend. Und natürlich ist die Frau schuld weil Aktionen mit ihr passieren. Kind of Patriarchat #feminism #feminismus
Oh, Du gehst aber ganz schön ins Detail. Dabei wollte ich nur darauf aufmerksam machen, dass bestimmte Gruppen bestimmte Regeln aufgestellt haben/aufstellen. Ob dieses Berechtigt ist, ist eine ganz andere Frage und halt auch, ob wir alle diese auch akzeptieren oder annehmen..... Habt einen schönen Tag weiterhin.
Richtig @gauze jeder hat seine Regeln und Grenzen und das ist auch gut so. Was nicht ok ist, diese anderen aufzuzwingen. Aber man kann darüber reden und die andere Meinung akzeptieren. Und manchmal etwas satirisch übertreiben nimmt den Ernst aus der Sache. Allerdings ist der Ausgang der Umfrage erstaunlich. Ich dachte ich würde mehr "Schuld" abbekommen. Es ist ja auch nicht bierernst gemeint.
@gauze ja der Pfarrer verurteilt alle. Der Nachbar weil er das begehrt, was seinem Nächsten gehört. §10 Die Frau darf nicht ehebrechnen, was man so andeuten kann §7 Der Mann verstößt gegen kein Gesetz und ist save. Typisch weiße alte Männer Style. Und die Voyeure fallen unter §1 weil sie mich neben Gott als Göttin ansehen. Eine Sex frage und soviel Tiefe.
In light of these draconian restrictions imposed by the UK and Australia upon people in the interest of "protecting children", I felt it might be interesting to talk about how the #DPRK protects children.
You find all these articles proclaiming everything from "rape is rampant in the DPRK" but "porn possession is punishable by death" and whatever other contradictory nonsense without a shred of proof (then turning around and saying, actually, violent crime is extremely rare in the DPRK — but only because punishments for it are so harsh, because that's how criminology works, don't look that up). However, if you actually read the DPRK's criminal code, pornography isn't in there at all. It is in China's, and other countries that prohibit porn, but not the DPRK.
And it stands to reason: Kim Jong-il was a big film buff, which definitely included some pornography, and contrary to popular belief, you absolutely can just walk into an app shop (yes, apps are sold in physical stores) in the DPRK and buy western films. I recall an anecdote from a recent tourist who got to talk with a young North Korean woman on the train, and asked if if she'd ever seen Shrek. Her English wasn't wonderful, but she told him to wait when the bus stopped, dashed out and into an app shop, and then dashed back, to show him that Shrek was now on her phone.
The difference, and the reason that porn doesn't need to be punishable by law, is because you'll have a rough time finding it. All media that you can purchase easily is media that is approved and sold by the state. The national intranet, too, is publicly owned.
That having been said, there are more direct ways that the DPRK protects children, which the UK and Australia do not do and probably would not even consider: Article 258 makes it illegal to neglect, abuse, or otherwise fail to protect and care for your children, elderly, or disabled family members (punishable by a sentence of labour of less than one year). Article 181 makes it illegal to compel a minor to work (similar sentencing).
In the DPRK, the principle role of children is to become educated, and it is the principle role of adults to form a society that is conducive to that education. If a child, therefore, gets their hands on pornography, it is not the fault of the child, but the fault of whoever was meant to be protecting them from it.
(Incidentally, the punishment for rape is between 5-10 years of labour at minimum, beaten out only by murder, which is always over 10 years, and crimes around terrorism and conspiracy against the state, which are the only ones which could land you the death penalty within regular criminal law.)
Of course, I'm sure there are people who will say, like absolute madmen, "Yeah, but that's just what the law says, which is just propaganda for the people that the judicial system doesn't actually follow!" But you'll have to reconcile the fact that it's expected of every Korean citizen to study on a weekly basis and learn more about their country, history, how it works, and its place in the wider world; there's a good chance that anyone you talk to will be able to tell you off by heart what is in this post, and you would have to reconcile the idea that someone like this could watch supposed public executions for porn possession and still feel immense trust, loyalty, and pride in their country and state — which is nearly always the case; as it has been noted grudgingly even by western sources, the DPRK is a remarkably politically stable nation, much to their chagrin.
Firstly, neither Zionism nor the Turks could foresee what was happening, therefore, the reaction was rather strange, the parties simply guided themselves based on the situation in real time.

Ideally something that runs forgejo, since we're using that for work, and hosted outside the US because <waves arms>.
Sourcehut looks neat, but not sure it's mature yet.
