#CeaseFireNow round up of civil disobedience and direct action
A lot of CD and DA popping off in response to the Israeli siege of Gaza.
We need more and more of this to stop the bloodshed. Let's lift up and help one another take more and more action until we finally get justice.

my favorite thing about the XFCE desktop environment is how the network applet pops up these messages all the time and there's a handy dandy "don't show this again" button that does ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING

My hat goes off to those Swedish dockworkers refusing to unload Teslas until they negotiate with their local employees.
Incredible solidarity.

re: frustration
Even moreso when that criticism isn't even aimed at them, but they interpret it as if it were, because they identify with some characteristic described there.
frustration
So many people who respond to direct criticism by treating it as a personal attack... please learn to deal with criticism in a healthy way!

Happening now: People are occupying a boat in the port of Oakland to prevent it taking weapons to Israel. They’re asking for help if you can get out there! This looks to be the specific terminal: https://maps.app.goo.gl/prXSdubSx1GJoXAJ9

Cannot overstate the value of regularly delivering working software.
My single most effective software dev habit is to start with a walking skeleton -- a "real" if very stubbed out program that can be deployed on its real infrastructure, receive real calls, visited for real etc. -- because of what this does for non-programming stakeholders.
When they see a real working thing and then they see that thing get meaningful improvements they tend to chill *way* out and get much easier to work with.

@heatherhorns_lite very reminded of how "Stockholm Syndrome" was basically made up by some police psychologist mad that hostages actually had more empathy for their hostage takers than him

Vanaf nu kun je bij 4️⃣ Recyclepunten in onze stad gratis een elektrische bakfiets 🚲 lenen. Handig als je geen auto hebt of liever jouw grof afval met de fiets wegbrengt.

he, het Warenwetbesluit Meel en Brood is geupdate, tegenwoordig is bruinbrood als ingekleurd witbrood niet meer toegestaan. Maar bruin != volkoren geldt nog wel.

positively surprised by PeerTube. I remember the HTML5 video player as being way worse compared to YouTube with regards to buffering, but this works just *great* (and I'm using a crappy DSL connection)

What a painful article to read my god.
"Shults & Lane...were on the ground as part of a contract they signed with the UN in August to develop a first-of-its-kind AI model that they hope will help analyze solutions to the Israel-Palestinian conflict."
"The digital twin Lane is speaking of is CulturePulse’s multi-agent AI model that they are currently building for the UN."
The UN needs a spine not a "multi-agent AI model."
