Mehr als ein Jahrzehnt nach dem Beginn des Krieges ist die Lage in Syrien weiterhin von Gewalt, Unsicherheit und schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen geprägt, religiöse und ethnische Minderheiten wie Alawiten, Drusen, Christen, Eziden und Kurden sind unzureichend geschützt.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotThis is genuinely important and good news: as I expected, no British jury is going to convict #PalestineAction activists of non-violent protest.
Of course, this is why the UK government is trying to get rid of jury trials, but ...

@cdarwin@c.imThe Italian tech holding company Bending Spoons, has developed a reputation for buying tech companies past their peak and aggressively cutting costs.
The firm acquired Evernote in 2022, followed by Meetup and WeTransfer in 2024, and AOL and Eventbrite in 2025.
Layoffs followed many of those deals. In September 2024, just months after being acquired by Bending Spoons, WeTransfer laid off 75% of its staff.

@Cognessence@social.linux.pizzaBecause of a sense of urgency that came upon me (and the fact I wanted some things released while still actually alive) I've put out a fairly large amount of music since 2024. 🙂
I want to share some download codes for another release, on the off chance anyone is interested. It kind of got lost (like many). It is called 'Scattering Spectrum', and represents a subtler zone of composition I really love. The label who were originally going to put it out a few years ago found it…

Literally. In the literal sense of “literally.” The incoming ICE CBP budget is ~$140 billion.[1] Russia’s military budget is ~$145 billion.[2]
