Looking at this property description in Glasgow on #Rightmove. The clouds from one photo to the next seemed strangely similar so I took a screenshot of them from each different room and outside POV...

They have CGI-ed the clouds?? Why?? Is this even legal?
I'm definitely not going to trust this agency in future.. "Keys estate ag…

On The Enshittification of Audre Lorde: "The Master's Tools" in Tech Discourse

The first fare-paying passengers boarded the "Madaraka Express" on Madaraka Day (1 June 2017), the 54th anniversary of Kenya's attainment of self-rule from Great

I imagine these posts are going to trigger the usual Reply Chorus of
“ugh, those Democrats, they’re the worst”
“they [Democrats] are all the same”
“they [politicians] are all the same”
…and, like, yes, I get it, and yes, all politicians are products of the electoral system that drives their behavior…
…and also “Democrats” includes Ilhan Omar getting ready to punch some fashy scrub in the face and Senators actually to kneecap DHS funding, and that is behavior I want to reward.

My #silentsunday photo is from last week, where it was about 15°C warmer.
Anyways - to me, a silent sunday means to relax, no rush, seeing the little flowers near the trail. Taking the time to knee down and take a photo - just for the sake of capturing a silent moment.
Enjoying a tiny flower while other pass by and maybe not even recognize a little colorful island.

Israel hacked a popular Iranian prayer app
to send notifications to potentially millions of phones Saturday morning
urging the country’s military personnel to defect from the regime and join a fight to liberate the country,
according to people familiar with the matter.
The app, BadeSaba Calendar, is intended to help Muslims keep track of prayer times

This foreign policy series by @… is quite revealing. Chakrabarti has by far the best answer to the IMF/World Bank question: "the role of the IMF and World Bank has been to try to implement austerity measures on countries by creating pressure from outside creditors...It’s been a way to impose neoliberal policy on countries, and also a way to force countries to lose t…

Several years ago, a street medic described a system like this and wanted to know if it could be built.

Back then there was just no way to make it happen. Hardware was too expensive. We couldn't really ever get it cheap enough, per medic, to deploy. Best I could put together was a bunch of burner phones.
But now it's starting to really make sense. LoRa is cheap, and possibly cheaper in bulk. And it wouldn't be necessary to build everything since ATAK-CIV exists and has several open source implementations. It can even tie in to drones (which are illegal to bring to protests in at least a few states).
This has a lot of potential applications for street medic coordination, protest marshal coordination, and for airsoft teams...
