In her address to the Bogotá Conference earlier this week, UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese explained why the world’s nations must suspend all ties with Israel. Jacobin republishes her remarks here.
There's also an IronFox community here on lemmy.ml, which I created and find myself moderating; would anyone be interested in taking it over?
The last time I checked, a Linux smartphone was in the works, but still had quite a ways yet to go . . .

Uh, well, yes, I aspire to, although I don't have a great track record of doing it regularly enough to see any benefit; I'm working to change this . . .
How bout you?
How can you deter the Trump administration's immigrant deportation machine when it pops up in your community? Follow these steps.

So are you saying "even a broken clock is right twice a day" type of thing? One thing that comes to mind is scrapping the TPP, which would've sucked, but he got rid of it because it was an Obama thing, so he did the right thing but for the wrong reason.
I'm fairly confident that Trump will never get the NPP under any circumstances, but then again the world has gotten so batshit crazy that I'm waiting for aliens to land at this point.
Uh, Biden got us out of Afghanistan, didn't he?

(Sure would be nice if I could post this on GrapheneOS's unofficial sublem, but anyway . . . )
Using Graphene, I made a local Seedvault backup on my phone that I would like to upload to the cloud, specifically with/to Filen, but I can't seem to do this, and I'm not aware of any of my other files having this issue. Is this a permissions issue with Seedvault, or is there something else going on?
And blowing its credibility in the process.

True, but I think the article is meant as more sort of like a "how can they (the GOP) be so stupid?" type of thing.
Musk is an idiot of course, but he does (presumably) have the money to set this up, and parties can be taken over, can they not . . . ? ☭😉
Seriously tho, I think the Coke and Pepsi parties have a lock on the system, so I'm not sure any amount of $$ could break through it, but we can dream, can't we?
The Senate GOP just voted to destroy the economies of their own districts and hand 21st century industry to a foreign adversary.
Sorry, really just liked the headline, couldn't resist.
Thanks! 👍
BTW, are the Chinese way ahead of the US in this like they are with renewables and electric cars? They'll probably figure out a way to have AI use significantly less power before "we" can.
After avoiding AI/LLLMs like the plague, I've been asking Duck.ai some fairly detailed questions, and have been, admittedly, pretty impressed with the results (after checking its references of course). For an oldster like me, it turns the search process on its head: a regular search turns up x hits, and I try to choose what appear to be the most reputable sites among them to find an answer, and then dig through text to find it; now I'm given the answer right away, and then I just have to check and make sure that it's actually correct.
Anyway, Mrs. Erinaceus keeps reminding me that AI sucks up huge amounts of energy (and water, too, apparently), much of it not from renewable sources. So my question is, is there any "acceptable" AI that has a good reputation for not serving slop and is also easy on the environment? Should I even be using AI at all? Mainly concerned about the environment here, I like to think I've been round long enough to have relatively well-developed bullshit detectors. Obviously want to avoid Big Tech LLMs too, unless there's some way of using them without them getting any benefit from it.

The teachers are asked how a meditator deals with episodes of depression.
We need this tool for every city in the US.
A free tool that allows anyone to upload a photo of an LAPD officer to get their name and badge number.
Oops. Didn't check the date; saw it on https://mastodon.social/explore/links.
The Mycelium Mesh Project is testing DIY networks that can be quickly deployed on trees or lamp posts during a political uprising.
Oh, excellent, thank you! Will take a look and give it a try. They have so many apps it's easy to miss the ones that have the exact functionality I'm looking for!
Now that I think of it, I do remember them asking for my address and phone number in order to sign up . . .
Infomaniak? Thundermail? The latter only has a waitlist for now, unfortunately.
Yes, I think that's right.
EDIT: Since real (if only temporary) change seems to come after some major catastrophe, part of me hopes (although be careful what you wish for, Erinaceus!) that the Trumpster will unleash something so bad (like the Great Depression) that we might somehow find our way to something resembling social democracy in its aftermath. I know that that's probably not good enough for many of the folks here on .ml, but wouldn't that at least be an improvement? Let's get to social democracy first and then we can talk about communism . . . ? What do you think? All of this is probably just castles-in-the-sky type thinking anyway, but I/we can dream.
The government no longer exists to serve us.
It never did. It only ever served the capitalist class.
I feel like this briefly wasn't the case in the US, at least to a certain extent, during the FDR/New Deal era, which began after the Great Depression and started to fall apart in the mid 60s starting with Goldwater and the backlash to LBJ's Great Society. The reactionaries who decided that they just weren't rich enough, hunkered down, planned ahead, bided their time, set up a vast right-wing conservative media to brainwash the masses to act against their interests, and restored themselves to a New Gilded Age in which we now live.
