A rundown of some of the heartbreaking updates out of Palestine today
(www.ochaopt.org)
Maybe it was cluster bombs which are also against international law, but I swear I heard that today either on the news or read it somewhere. I'll keep looking [https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/us-provide-cluster-munitions-ukraine-part-new-military-100836526]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munitions#International_law
Article 1 of Protocol III of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons defines an incendiary weapon as "any weapon or munition which is primarily designed to set fire to objects or to cause burn injury to persons through the action of flame, heat, or combination thereof, produced by a chemical reaction of a substance delivered on the target". Article 2 of the same protocol prohibits the deliberate use of incendiary weapons against civilian targets (already forbidden by the Geneva Conventions)
Also look at the US: who gave Ukraine white phosphorus to use against the Russians. I'm not saying I support Russia what so ever but there are international laws that protect human rights and the west clearly thinks it doesn't apply to them
Very well said I agree this needs to be taken more seriously. I recently bought a laptop that when booting into the BIOS displayed a message box saying that the device had persistent technology installed on it. With a little google search I found many computer companies come preinstalled with this rootkit and that it was not installed on the hard drive but into the motherboard instead and removing it was next to impossible. Almost every major computer company now are coming pre-installed with this. (mine was a 2020 Levono Thinkpad T490)
I am also facing the same issue with Github and switching to codeberg. My first hurdle is clouflare pages not sourcing codeberg for website source, only giving options for github and gitlab

Anarchism, The Indieweb and Me
(lemm.ee)
Hello everyone, this is my first post on Lemme and a introduction to me and what I am about.
I assume most of you here are in a attempt to escape the corporate click and scroll economy that has become our internet overtaken by major companies who control most of what we see online. That is Google, MicroSoft, Amazon, Meta and Twitter to name a few but we also know that they work for the government and use mass surveillance using the data collected.
As a supporter of Open Source and GNU along with cryptography I believe that information is a general right to the people and the internet was created by us and should be ran by us.
'The organization of the digital economy through the social ownership of digital assets and democratic control over the infrastructure and systems that govern our digital lives.
A broad ecology of social ownership acknowledges the multiple and overlapping associations to which individuals belong and promotes the flourishing of different communities from mutual societies to platform co-operatives, data trusts and international social networks.'
Sound about right? As a programmer and hacktivist I believe it is my duty to protect and preserve our online ecosystem. Creating communities that work towards these goals is a major theme in my life both online and off.
So what am I going for?
I would like to build and network with like minded individuals and find a sense of community in a space like the fediverse. I am a fan and user of Linux especially Arch where I can control exactly what is on my machine, and for productivity I pretty much live inside of Emacs. I am working on my static web page where I will have a blog, RSS feed and webring. But I was never really into front end web development, I mainly write in Python and Rust.

The only issue I see are the dumbasses that cant tell the difference, supporting Palestinians doesn’t mean support for Hamas. But if you don’t think they need some sort of military support in one way or another you don’t need to be making comments about it and need to instead go back and read a little history about the Israelie Occupation and Crimes Against Humanity thats taken place. Hell you wouldn’t even have to go back in time very far but a year maybe less, but I suggest to get the full picture and decent understanding to allow yourself to come and discuss world topics with other adults that you start from the beginning.
