Pakistani religious body declares using VPN is against Islamic law
  • The Council of Islamic Ideology said the technology was being used in Pakistan to access content prohibited according to Islamic principles or forbidden by law, including “[...]websites that spread anarchy [...].”

    So they admit it's not (only) about morals, but also (or mostly) about their position of power not being threatened.

    BTW: By blocking access to the internet, they stop people from following the order in the Quoran which states that people should educate themselves.

  • Corruption
  • If you live in Europe and think your democratic system is resistant to these things: it's not.

    Don't wait until your version of Trump gets elected. Start organizing now.

    Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games?

    Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.

    I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.

    Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.

    I already got:

    • Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
    • Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
    • Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
    • ... that's it

    It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

    It's an old video, but Jessie can use some extra traffic, so I'm doing my part.

    Europe’s seeds are being privatised by patents - and it could threaten food security
    www.euronews.com No Patents on Seeds: Europe’s small farmers are battling privatisation

    A silent battle is brewing over the control of our food supply's very foundation: seeds.

    No Patents on Seeds: Europe’s small farmers are battling privatisation

    cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/2037887

    > Europe has one of the most diverse seed industries in the world. In Germany, the Netherlands and France alone, hundreds of small breeders are creating new varieties of cereals, vegetables and legumes. > > Relying on decades of careful selection to improve desired traits like yield, disease resistance and flavour, they adapt seeds to local environments through methods like cross-breeding. > > This legion of plant breeders help maintain Europe’s biodiversity and ensure that our food supplies stay plentiful. But their work is under growing threat from the patent industry. > > Although it’s illegal to patent plants in the EU, those created through technological means are classified as a technical innovation and so can be patented. > > This means that small-scale breeders can no longer freely plant these seeds or use them for research purposes without paying licensing fees.

    Deutsche Version. Cross-postet von !europe@feddit.de

    > Der belgische Vorsitz im Rat der EU will die Chatkontrolle am Mittwoch den 19. Juni abstimmen lassen. Damit bestätigen sich die Befürchtungen: die Verfechter der Chatkontrolle wollen ausnutzen, dass es nach den Wahlen weniger öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit gibt, während sich das Europäische Parlament erst neu bilden muss. Wenn die Chatkontrolle es jetzt durch den Rat schafft besteht außerdem die Gefahr, dass sich das Parlament in seiner neuen Zusammensetzung nicht so stark gegen die Chatkontrolle wehrt und unsere bisherigen Erfolge in den Trilogverhandlungen zwischen Rat und Parlament wieder aufgibt.

    I Debunked Evolutionary Psychology - münecat

    Edit - Addendum: The video title is quite clickbait-y. The video doesn't want to debunk any "serious" science, but rather investigates how badly done research with no reproducability or horrible statistical significance is used to influence the discourse in favour of regressive politics.
