Barley wine är en ny bekantskap. Ofrälse Golden Harvest. Trevlig! Doft av russin och sött jäsbröd. Sött, spritigt på ett bra sätt, påtagligt bittert som av något annat än bara humle och rostad malt. Men vad är det egentligen för skillnad på barley wine och kvadrupel? #öltut

Continued thread

Video released today via the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS, equivalent of e.g. American Red Cross) shows the war crime targeted mass-murder of their medical personnel and fellow civil defense (=NON-combatants) in absolutely clearly marked as such medical transports and firefighting vehicles with emergency vehicle lighting turned on while they were responding to save lives in Rafah, the Gaza Strip of Palestine on March 23, with Israel's forces continuing to meticulously fire at the absolutely not a target for a long time, until they had through particular effort succeeded in murdering every hero.

The EMT person whose video you see was murdered and the video was found in their mobile phone in a mass grave.
15 first responders were murdered and buried in a mass grave: 8 Palestine Red Crescent paramedics, 6 civil defense members and 1 UN officer.

Israel has been attempting to whitewash this textbook most fundamental of war crimes not even by claiming they did a mistake, but by blaming its murder victims, through its self-"investigation" alleging that the vehicles were moving "suspiciously without lights or emergency markings", which as you can see is an absolute and indisputably knowingly intentional lie.

Et af tidens mest interessante projekter, for at frigøre sig fra amerikansk cloud-tech, er måske den tyske Slesvig-Holsten delstats migration til opensource på regeringsniveau? Vi taler trods alt om 30.000 arbejdsstationer og 45.000 ansatte.

Projektet har da også fanget EU's interesse. Derfor kan man blandt andet læse:

"The state anticipates substantial savings on software licensing, increased data security, and enhanced flexibility in technological infrastructure. Moreover, the initiative promises to strengthen local digital industries, creating opportunities for regional tech entrepreneurs and developers."

EU kommenterer:

"As governments worldwide grapple with technological dependency, Schleswig-Holstein's initiative offers a compelling alternative: a future where public institutions can operate with greater autonomy, security, and innovation. "

Interoperable Europe Portal · New Open Innovation and Open Source Strategy of Schleswig-HolsteinSchleswig-Holstein, a northern German state, has unveiled an ambitious plan to break free from proprietary software dependencies in a new step in its open source journey.

Maybe this seems basic but it constantly blows my mind. Why does nearly everything have:

* two eyes on head above the mouth and smelling organ(s) (antennae "smelling organs")
* the brain is in the head

Basically, nearly all vertebrates & a shocking number of invertebrates have a head with a brain in it and a "face"

Does this imply a common ancestor with a head with a face & two eyes? OR is this convergent?

(We know that complex eyes are convergent, but did this start with simple eyes?)

موضوعی برای تخیل: چی می‌شه اگه #تبلیغات رو کاملاً ممنوع کنیم؟ حجم آسیب‌هایی که با همین یه دونه کار از جوامع بشری برداشته می‌شه فراتر از تصوره.

تا حالا بهش فکر نکرده بودم. نه این که یک‌شبه عملی بشه. ولی به قول نویسنده، حتی فکرکردن بهش هم رهایی‌بخشه. پس چرا که نه؟ بهش فکر می‌کنم 🙂

Kōdō Simone · What If We Made Advertising Illegal?What if we banned all advertising? Not regulate it—abolish it. This proposal would transform manipulation machines, and maybe save democracy itself. A thought experiment worth considering.
