I’m Abeer, a mother of four from Gaza.
I lost my husband and our home. We survived bombings, hunger, and endless fear.
Now I’m alone, trying to keep my children alive — to find food, water, and warmth.
No child should suffer like this. Please, help me give them safety and hope again 💔

Маме снова звонили мошенники.
На этот раз под предлогом проверки прикрепления к поликлинике.
Слово за слово, как-то передают звонок из рук в руки, и дальше снова начинается: на вас взяли доверенность, зашли в Госуслуги, у них есть все ваши документы...
На этот раз дальше дело не зашло (мы всё перепроверили, никаких доверенностей, никаких входов).
Но как же я этих сволочей ненавижу.
Пожилые люди гораздо медленнее соображают, их легко запутать и запугать.
Помогайте своим бдить.
@kurator88 это и в городах есть.
Моей маме так пришли с "проверкой", типа нашли утечку газа и поменяли подводку газа за 5 т.р. Показали удостоверение типа "ГБУ ГосГаз №13" с фото и печатью, в форме был и т.п. Причём по времени как раз шли обычные проверки, это тем более подозрения не вызвало.
Хуже всего, что после этого ушлёпка утечка реально появилась и заметная уже не приборам, а носу, и вскоре явившийся реальный газовщик поменял подводку ещё раз, рублей за триста.
До того, разумеется, никакой утечки не было.

I'm reading Eichmann in Jerusalem, & something I wish I had been aware of sooner is that this is not just an important text about Nazis & the evils that ordinary people can commit without batting an eye.
It is *also* an important text about Israel & its history. Hannah Arendt is also critiquing Eichmann's trial as a type of show trial & pointing at the Zionist ideology & propaganda on display.
I'm primarily reading because I'm interested in how Arendt's insights into the mentality of people facilitating genocide without feeling guilt or remorse can be reconsidered & reinterpreted in modern American life.
I don't know if I will fully agree with all of Arendt's interpretation, but it feels like her work is a great place to start.
Is anyone aware of works by Black or Indigenous authors (or other POC) that either deal directly with Arendt & her ideas about the "banality of evil" or that cover similar topics?
I'm interested in the psychology of "normal" people who participate in, support, or tolerate genocide happening around them, & would especially benefit from perspectives of colonized people on this.

Qualcomm buys Arduino ("The companies did not disclose the price of the deal")
mixed feelings. obv will go downhill under Qualcomm: end of era. OTOH I can respect if Arduino's founders/owners wanted to get rich, esp as a way of de-risking the lives of them and their loved ones. cuz very risky/chaotic things on the horizon, across near and medium term scales
there will always be other teams out there trying to make the next Arduino. not surprised if a few exist already
I just checked and it seems that it has been 9 years since my last post in this blog :O As part of my job at Amazon I started working in a GTK widget which will allow embedding a Servo Webview...Ignacio Casal Quinteiro (Nacho's Blog)
Despite the recent media reporting, #Windows installation with local accounts is working just fine. Create a regular Windows installation media and drop autounattend.xml to the root of the USB device and install it.
You can craft the autounattend.xml yourself or use a service like schneegans.de/windows/unattend… to generate it.
If the installation demands you to connect to the internet, you can bypass this part by pressing Shift+F10 and then entering oobe\bypassnro + <return>. After the installer restart, you'll have the "I don't have internet" option, and the installation will proceed.
EDIT: To clarify: While I did not test the latest insider build I believe this method will continue to work, even with it. I'll be sure to edit the post if this turns out to be incorrect.
If you have an iPhone 16 (of any kind), this is your reminder that you can set up an automation in the Shortcuts app that turns on silent mode when you leave home, and another one that turns it back off when you arrive.
I used to keep my phone on silent all the time, mostly to save myself the embarassment of forgetting to flip the switch before an important meeting. With the physical switch gone, this is no longer necessary.

Today is the second anniversary of October 7. I want to share some personal reflections about that day and the past two years. October 7 was, for me, a lightning bolt.Ted Folkman (Letters Blogatory)

Une pensée pour tous les Juifs victimes du terrorisme le 7 octobre et leurs proches🕯️. Je pense à cette chanson interpretée par Keren Ann pour le film "Yossi". J'ai eu la chance d'échanger avec elle et elle m'avait appris que c’est une cover d'une chanson de 1973 composée par Mati Caspi. L'amour et la paix...

Matrix has always been about cooperation. Germany's ZenDiS is taking it to the next level by working together with France and the Netherlands to create a cross-border collaboration suite for the public sector.
🇪🇺 Don't miss Alexander Smolianitski's talk at The Matrix Conference where he'll share how to create a more integrated European digital landscape.

@aaron The Matrix.org Foundation is not only run by people who are vocally opposed to Chat Control, we are duty bound by our mission to oppose it much like we opposed the most egregious parts of the Online Safety Bill before the UK signed it into law.
We do some public advocacy, including raising awareness and signing open letters, and a great deal of advocacy behind the scenes.
WestJet hikes checked bag fee for 2nd time in 2 years. Will Air Canada be next?
competition is when one member of the cartel and the other quickly follow.
The competition is "who is first shitting on customers".
Now that I'm in the Swiss healthcare system… no wonder Germany has a shortage of doctors and nurses. They're all here! 😂
(My dentist, substitute primary care physician, and psychiatrist are all Germans… only the primary care physician is Swiss… same for a whole bunch of the nurses…)
I am pleased to announce the imminent launch of my **post-AI chatbot**!
All the misinformation of an AI chatbot without the environmental damage, for just $9.99/month.
I mean, I say "chatbot".
In fact, whenever someone tries to use the service, it just connects them with another person who is also trying to use the service at the same time.
Like ChatRoulette, but with fewer... well, you know.
If I made a series of videos about something, what would you like?
The Standard Model? Grand unified theories? Clifford algebras? The octonions? Entropy? Category theory? Quantum logic and projective geometry? Visually beautiful math?
These would all be easy, since I've got the material prepared. I don't want to explain something brand new - at least not until I've covered some of these. Each of these topics could take at least 10 videos.
(I've got a drawing tablet now, so I'm ready to make videos where I show slides of stuff and also write while I talk. It will take some practice to do it well. I thank @Garrett for offering to pay for the tablet. It proved unnecessary, but it helped push me into action.)
Just to clarify, Qualcomm has always been open-source hostile. Even more when saving billions in OS development.
So RIP Arduino.
