Condenamos la invasión de Israel a Líbano, un nuevo hito de escalada regional que Israel lleva buscando desde hace meses para desplazar el foco del genocidio sobre Gaza.

La impunidad y las dobles varas de medir que Europa y Norteamérica aplica con Israel son insoportables.

No podemos esperar más. Es urgente romper ya las relaciones diplomáticas, imponer un embargo militar inmediato, promover sanciones a Israel y llevar a sus dirigentes racistas y genocidas ante la justicia.

My website hosting came up for renewal, so I’ve taken the decision to take the site down. Visitor traffic doesn’t warrant the cost of keeping it going, and all my books are on Amazon anyway.
But you can expect to see more posts here promoting my books.
If you like #Historical fiction, please do take a look at them. I’ve written stories set in Roman times, as well as a few on WW1 aviation. Do check out the Amazon reviews.

Ab nächstem Jahr möchte die Bundesregierung 12,4 Mrd. Euro in die #Aktienrente investieren. Ein Lieblingsprojekt von #Linder (ja, genau der von der #FDP, der sonst immer sagt, es sei kein Geld da, weil Kreditverbot alias #Schuldenbremse).

Zur Einordnung, das wären:

2x soviel, wie der Bund für Forschung & Entwicklung ausgibt,
1,8x soviel, wie der Bund in Maßnahmen zum Wohnungsbau stecken möchte,
12,5x jährlicher Bundes-Zuschuss zum #Deutschlandticket

Zur Erinnerung: Bei der #Aktienrente geht es nicht darum, dass jetzt oder in Zukunft Rentner:innen was davon haben. Sondern darum, dass der Bund Aktien kauft. Um vielleicht (ganz vielleicht) mit eingenommenen Dividenden ab 2035 den Rentenbeitrag um 0,1 - 0,5% weniger ansteigen lassen zu müssen.

Oder kurz: Es ist eine gewaltige Verschiebung öffentlicher Mittel, unserer Steuergelder, an den #Kapitalmarkt. Mit entsprechenden Verlustrisiken. Völliger Blödsinn.

Gestern war ja eine Countdown-Pressekonferenz des Bundesgesundheitsministers zur elektronischen Patientenakte. Deswegen noch ein paar Gedanken dazu [1/7]


Lauterbach: E-Patientenakte für alle »von der Sicherheit her besonders sicher«

Leider sieht das nicht danach aus, daher haben wir in der Familie komplett Widerspruch eingelegt. 👇

As the UK shut down it's final Coal burning power station yesterday, I see that XKCD celebrated it with a calculation.

So we burned about 3 inches in depth of the UK's surface between 1853 and 2024 😲

So yes, I did use Teams Online on my own laptop today to avoid walking to the home office through the rain. It's a lifestyle choice to stay dry and I am defending it.


Morning all, well, we were meant to be having a choir performance today, but it hasn't happened. We got an urgent message on our phones saying the mini bus that was meant to be taking us had been hit by a lorry, forcing it off the road for the forseeable future. Luckily, nobody was hurt and we were all safely at home. The situation could have been so much different. We could have been on that bus and had injuries or possible fatalities. So so grateful to be where I am.

glad nobody was hurt. Traffic accidents are so often life-changing and not in a good way!


This rainy dreary weather makes it so hard to get up and moving in the morning.

@mcourcel @cachondo Well give them the commonality of both the name and the structure, maybe higher than we might at first think. Hahaha!
in reply to James Dean

@GamingWithEars @mcourcel @cachondo It's a different spelling, Sean Randall's name is spelled properly, the other one is decidedly not. Also I'm having a lot of fun imagining Sean Randall going from posh welsh to summerset.

@arqeria @GamingWithEars @mcourcel I do perform a mean cider drinker, it must be said. Although only in the shed. without any form of outside conectivity, where my only judgment comes from the birds.
in reply to James Dean

@GamingWithEars @mcourcel just to throw confusion into the mix, before I married mrs randall, she was a Preece. But not the same Preece as Shaun.


Not to brag, but I was spewing out hilariously incorrect information before huge tech companies decided to create AI chatbots and ruin the internet.

We've just launched the Tuta Calendar app on Android - and it's blue!!! 🥳

iOS is ready as well, but Apple does not want to approve it... We're trying our best to get it out asap!

Launch details & all included features 👉 tuta.com/blog/launch-calendar-…

in reply to Tuta

So glad you guys share the same love for both platforms and don't prioritize one over the other!
in reply to Khalid

@KhalidFusion Absolutely. To reach our goal of bringing privacy respecting solutions to the masses, we have to meet people where they are. That means not only developing apps for Android and iOS, but also free desktop clients for Windows, Mac, and Linux. 💪


Weil es immer so grausame Statistiken gibt wie "alle 2 Tage stirbt ein:e ..., wegen [unnatürliche Todesursache]", fragte ich mich gerade, wie das mit Verkehrstoten aussieht. Der ADAC liefert:

2023 gab es in D…

***2839***

… #Verkehrstote.

Mal aufn Taschenrechner schauen...

* knapp 8 Tote pro Tag
* also alle 3 - 4 Tage z.B. eine Schulklasse (Menge)
* knapp 55 Menschen / Woche

Nur in D. Guten Tag.

Si te encuentras en una situación de insolvencia y no tienes bienes suficientes para hacer frente a las deudas, existe una solución pensada para personas en tu misma situación: el concurso sin masa. Este proceso te permite enfrentarte a la insolvencia de una forma más ágil y, en muchos casos, puede ayudarte a comenzar de nuevo gracias a la Ley de Segunda Oportunidad

El Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) ya tiene colgadas en su canal las charlas y posterior mesa redonda de la jornada "A natureza do espazo-tempo". Las charlas son cortas y didácticas; y la mesa redonda muy chula (cómo mola Gastón Giribet)

Muy recomendable.

Today I learned that Apple Air Pods Pro in noise cancelling mode perfectly cancels the clicking of a geiger counter. You would not know it was making a sound. I hope that this is not relevant to /your/ day.

¿Os acordáis de aquel taxi que me dejó tirado con Yuco (mi perro guía) por Abril, y al que le puse una denuncia en el IMET (Instituto metropolitano del taxi)? Pues hoy me ha llegado la resolución. Para sorpresa de nadie, la queja ha sido archivada con una advertencia al taxista. Imagino que será algo como: Oye, Antonio, que si vuelve a pasar esto te damos unos azotes, ¿eh? No seas gamberro.

Pues eso, que parece que las denuncias tampoco valen de una mierda.

Buenos días. Sigo enfermo así que sigo en casa. Estoy mejor, eso sí. Creo que mañana estaré ya en buenas condiciones.


Any Lebanese Christian anywhere in the world has a moral duty to counter the propaganda being spread around that Israel is ‘liberating’ us. Israel is massacring our people and they must be treated like any invading army is treated anywhere in the world.


Acabo de descubrir que si bloqueas cookielaw.org, no te sale el famoso bloqueo de o aceptas cookies o pagas. No sé si será así con todas las webs, new acaba de pasar con la de Springer. Yo uso NoScript masivamente, aunque creo que hay otras soluciones.
Por cierto, si tenéis algún eliminador de elementos HTML, también suele funcionar (a veces, incluso para paywalls).

Twenty-two years ago on this day, we shipped #curl 7.10.

The first one using only the MIT license. Introduced --compressed. Certificate verification done by default. SOCKS5 support. A biggie.

Feels just like yesterday.

I really despise those days and weeks where I am just not able to finish the tune. It’s so close, but I just can’t come up with any more ideas. I tell myself: “just wait, there is another day”, but for some reason, that day does not come. It was so much easier in the days of playing in a band. So much harder to have to generate all the ideas on your own! :)


Hey @ppatel we are reading the “covenant of Water” and I can hardly find the word to express my amazement at the quality of writing, storytelling and reading (given that the author reads the book himself). I also learned quite a bit about the history of India, especially in those pre-independence days. Still 12 hours to go though! Thanks for the reco! #literature #books #fiction


Here’s a recording that I made on Friday morning of the sounds of the hurricane from my deck. I used an H1E, with two windscreens on it, as well as surrounded by a towel to prevent wind from blowing into the sides of the recorder as well. The extreme, low end was removed afterwards, so that you could actually hear something other than just the wind. dropbox.com/scl/fi/n1unh9f1e63…
