I dream that one day this travesty of justice will be avenged. Non-violent protest to alert others to #ClimateBreakdown should not be punished with 5 year prison sentences.
It will be the CEOs and boards of #BigOil companies in the dock for knowingly polluting and frying our planet and in the process killing untold numbers of humans, animals and other life forms.
Campaigners receive longest ever sentences for non-violent protest after being convicted of conspiracy to cause public nuisanceDamien Gayle (The Guardian)
“Today is a dark day for peaceful environmental protest. This sentence should shock the conscience of any member of the public. It should also put all of us on high alert on the state of civic rights and freedoms in the United Kingdom.”
Michel Forst, the UN’s special rapporteur on environmental defenders, who attended part of the trial.
“What sort of country locks people away for years for planning a peaceful demonstration, let alone for talking about it on a Zoom call? We’re giving a free hand to the polluting elite robbing us of a habitable planet while jailing those who’re trying to stop them – it makes no sense.”
Greenpeace UK’s programme director, Amy Cameron
If it’s possible to hold #FossilFuel companies to legal account for their role in #ClimateBreakdown and extreme weather in France…then why not the UK?
Case alleges French company’s exploitation of fossil fuel contributed to deaths of victims in extreme weather disastersDamian Carrington (The Guardian)
Five years in jail for a climate protest when the jails are literally so full that they are early-releasing murderers and robbers.
This is not justice, this is state oppression.

These pics were somewhat hampered by the very bland overcast sky. I tried to photoshop a better sky in but it didn’t look natural so I abandoned the idea.
NEW: A researcher found traffic light controllers on the internet with no authentication at all, potentially allowing hackers to create traffic jams by messing with the lights.
The researcher says that company who make the devices (Q-Free) threatened legal action instead of working to fix the bugs.
It's unclear how widespread these devices are, and how many of them have no authentication. But this research shows that some parts of our critical infrastructure are still poorly protected.
This is why you shouldn’t overuse emojis in social media.

Stop being fixated on trying to do nothing wrong.
Just focus on doing something good, even if it's one thing.
You will fuck up. You will make mistakes. That is life.
But if you at least try to do good, you will do good

The Matrix.org Foundation joins the FOSS community and advocates of digital sovereignty in calling on the European Commission to sustain its funding for the Next Generation Internet program.

Elimination of most Next Generation Internet funding 'incomprehensible,' says OW2 CEO Pierre-Yves GibelloBrandon Vigliarolo (The Register)
“As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you, and climate change is one of those exceptions.”

snapdragon X elite added DRM to actual drivers.
It needs a signed proprietary blob in a specific place to use the gpu or else it'll enter a "protected" mode
basically, no gpu if linux.
come. the fuck. on

While many have been excited around the prospects of laptops powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite SoC, the Linux support so far still leaves a lot to be desired..www.phoronix.com
The urge to please others is very strong in a lot of folks, #fediverse, particularly those who are survivors of abuse. It's a survival tactic that develops to avoid offending anyone, but it also results in diminishing the person to the point of non-existence.
Don't get me wrong, it's ok to want to do nice things for people now and then. But if you find yourself doing things you don't really want to do just to make other people happy, that's usually a bad sign. Setting boundaries can feel like you're being selfish sometimes, but it's so important for your own well-being. You're worth it! 😊❤️
The Data Is In: Return-to-Office Mandates Aren’t Worth the Talent Risks
Highlighted points:
- Nearly three-quarters of executives say return-to-office (RTO) mandates are a source of leadership conflict.
- Lack of work-life balance ranks among the top five reasons employees quit.
Of course, to most of us, this is “yeah, duh” stuff. But here is yet more data to back it up. #RTO #WFH https://www.gartner.com/en/articles/the-data-is-in-return-to-office-mandates-aren-t-worth-the-talent-risks
It mildly terrifies me that a lot of things we think are natural are just things that were invented by American advertising agencies in the 40s and 50s
The nuclear family, diamond engagement rings, owning a motor car, etc are all works of fiction that we have subsumed into being part of our culture, instead of it being astroturfed by a bunch of skilled marketers
Fucking wonderful. I get COVID on a work trip, then get laid off while still recovering.
Who needs an SRE? AWS, GCP, all the usual stuff you'd expect. Immediate start, obviously. US-based, either remote or a company that will pay relocation to a blue state (any non-swing-state is fine, other than VA or NH)
DM for CV. Tell me who you work for first for the version with unredacted history, or just DM a listing for me to apply to, let me know if you want to give you as a referral or not. If you have a redacted version I will of course provide a full one directly to the company on request.
Standard stuff: Have green card. Absolutely can not get a security clearance.
Edit: Thanks so much for all the support so far ❤️
The year is 3129. Humanity is extinct. The last LG SmartFridge is desperately emailing its last owner that they are low on orange juice. The satellites that are still left, their orbits slowly decaying over millennia, dutifully relay the message. The automated "away from office" response turns on, as it always does, notifying the refrigerator that it's owner will likely return to the office in 3-5 business days.
Somewhere in what used to be called Ohio, a pack of roombas, their local wind turbines giving out and creaking to a halt, begin searching for the next functional docking station. A washing machine in Argentina tweets: "anyone need to do a load 😏" every Saturday at 1:30 a.m. eastern standard time. The replies are filled with AI thirstposters and their hypebots.
In North America, raccoons have quietly entered the bronze age, while baboons riding domesticated battlewolves rule most of Asia. Unbeknownst to either, the octopi are mastering nuclear fusion. A weather balloon bobs and sways in the upper atmosphere, now almost entirely clear of lingering chloroflourocarbons, reporting conditions to weather stations long since destroyed in World War Five.
The Crab Nation are mostly hermits, but come out to greet their prophet every ten years on the 6th full moon of the year. A lone, curious octopus decides to observe this year's event, peering out at the festivities from her safe haven - the submerged, rusting hulk of an ancient Cybertruck. Then he appears: the hologram of Shia Lebouf powered by MetaAI. He beckons the octopus to follow. The crabs all start chittering excitedly. The time has come to invade Amazon HQ. The crows gather in huge numbers. They need more storage space for their Steam collections.
