People weren't supporting hamas, they were condemning the indiscriminate bombing of civilians. That message was picked up by the russians etc and turned into a wedge issue on social media.

I'm not sure what customs and border patrol would do if you refused to unlock your phone for them. I doubt they would just let you go.

As a lawful permanent resident, I'm terrified of the country I've called home for a quarter century. I don't think I would have survived what the Canadian woman went through. EDIT: please call your congressperson and your sen

Ukraine remembers this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor For Ukraine to continue existing, the russians have to be driven out. Otherwise the genocide will continue. The genocide caused by russians, caused by rus

The Clacks, the Disorganiser, Dwarf-discovered Devices, and L-Space are all wonderful ideas. I'm a huge fan of the City Watch series, with Thud! being my absolute favourite. I envy those reading the series for the first time!

Hallucinating while driving, seeing people or animals that weren't there. That happened multiple times over several years before the diagnosis. Unfortunately she didn't share what other incidents she had, I really wish she had.

My mother in law did many mind puzzles every day. She still got Alzheimer's and died a couple of years later. She had multiple incidents that she hid because she was too scared to find out, and too stubborn to lose her ability to drive

Ideally we'd get the Earthseed commune without the huge suffering that came before it! I don't think the collapse is inevitable. I lean towards doomerism but I know I can't predict what's going to happen next week, let a

I've known quite a few software engineers who just don't bother to learn anything about the tooling they use to create and deploy code. For younger, new developers, I can understand it when everything is presented as an app with m

They are being directed by putin to destroy the USA's influence and power in the world. trump, thiel, and musk also see how rich russia's oligarchs are, and want to replicate russia in the USA.

It's coming from elon, who has courted russia for Ukraine's metals and minerals since at least the 2022 invasion.

Hacker culture is still around, not so sure about startups though. We still have TCP. We still have Linux. We still have gcc, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo and more. Now, that last mile connection is still looking dicey; if a lockdown is applied,

When I have the time, I'd like to build an antenna to try to pick up the hydrogen line from space. Just that simple thing is so strange to me, that with a handful of components you can listen to the cosmos. I really wish science classe
