Key learning: don't sue for defamation over an allegation of a rape that you actually committed.

Lots of analysis of the xz/liblzma vulnerability. Most skip over the first step of the attack:
0. The original maintainer burns out, and only the attacker offers to help (so the attacker inherits the trust of the project built by the maintainer).

A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see.
Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.
It takes a few seconds to spot a fake and stop the spread of disinformation. Let's learn how! 🧵(1/5)

I **strongly suspect** that "Morty" is NOT a "good family friend" of mine in the sense that
1) I've never had a cuppa with him
2) I've never had a meal with him
3) I've never met him.
And I do NOT support "nuclear power".
@DoctorKarl True?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Dr Karl has indicated this is false

It is quite annoying to see the number of people who don't otherwise seem like blithering idiots, but are incapable of understanding that racism is the intersection of prejudice and power rather than just 'being rude about an arbitrary genetic characteristic'.

So GitLab posts their internal Zoom call recordings on YouTube, and some have HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of views...
Because people use them to pretend like they're working.

Not only did Germany commit the first genocide of the 20th century in Namibia — but the savagery they executed on the Herero & Nama (ie starvation, concentration camps, torture) were the basis of the cruelties later used in the Holocaust.
An incredible statement from Namibia.
Namibia rejects Germany’s Support of the Genocidal Intent of the Racist Israeli State against Innocent Civilians in Gaza
On Namibian soil, #Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in 1904-1908, in which tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most inhumane and brutal conditions. The German Government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil. Therefore, in light of Germany’s inability to draw lessons from its horrific history, President @hagegeingob expresses deep concern with the shocking decision communicated by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany yesterday, 12 January 2024, in which it rejected the morally upright indictment brought forward by South Africa before the #InternationalCourtofJustice that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.
Worryingly, ignoring the violent deaths of over 23 000 Palestinians in Gaza and various United Nations reports disturbingly highlighting the internal displacement of 85% of civilians in Gaza amid acute shortages of food and essential services, the German Government has chosen to defend in the International Court of Justice the genocidal and gruesome acts of the Israeli Government against innocent civilians in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Germany cannot morally express commitment to the United Nations Convention against genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia, whilst supporting the equivalent of a holocaust and genocide in Gaza. Various international organizations, such as Human Rights Watch have chillingly concluded that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza.
President Geingob reiterates his call made on 31 December 2023, “No peace-loving human being can ignore the carnage waged against Palestinians in Gaza”. In that vein, President Geingob appeals to the German Government to reconsider its untimely decision to intervene as a third-party in defence and support of the genocidal acts of Israel before the International Court of Justice.

"Despite Israel’s war on Gaza being perhaps the deadliest war for children in modern history, only 2 headlines out of over 1,100 in the study (of the biggest US mainstream news outlets' coverage) mention Gaza's children."
New study shows @nytimes @washingtonpost @latimes systematic bias. "For every 2 Palestinian deaths, Palestinians are mentioned once. For every Israeli death, Israelis are mentioned 8 times — or a rate 16 times more per death than of Palestinians."

ALT A sign that says “Do what you love and you’ll (never work a day in your life*) work super hard all the time with no separation or any boundaries and also take everything extremely personally” * The “never work a day in your life” is struck out.

2023 will be the last time we ever got to experience a semantically lossless internet. From now on we face a creeping tide of machine hallucinations, collapsing all human knowledge toward common patterns like a gradually oncoming digital Mandela effect

The Government allowing Stage 3 to go forward in its current form will only fuel inflation, and likely result in higher interest rates for all Australians.
The tax cuts were a bad economic idea when Morrison legislated them in 2018, and they're an even worse idea now.

I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF.
When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening.

To recap: OpenAI dumps the women from its board & brings on the guy fired from Harvard for sexist remark, appointed under interim CEO who said "40-60% of women seem to have rape/non-consent fantasies," all while bringing back the CEO whose sister accused him of sexual assault.

The MAGA death cult likes to call a lot of people RINOs - Republicans In Name Only.
You know what we used to call those people? Republicans!
The Republican Party as a serious option died with John McCain, although it had been on life support since 2000.

4 women 👩🏻👩🏼👩🏾👩killed in past 10 days in Australia
By men they knew
Men that were their family. Husbands. Partners.
This is a national emergency that calls on us as men to not say #NotAllMen but rather “how can we be part of the solution to ensure women can be free & safe.”

Jewish person here. This is total BS & designed to delegitimise the criticism & activism, sow more hatred, & justify more violence & injustice. I was on the march with my children. It was an incredible multicultural, multigenerational collective show of solidarity & hope.

Another murder-suicide in the wake of relationship breakdown. I will repeat, violence against women is a men’s health issue. It’s an inability to regulate emotion, to deal with shame & rejection. Lillie’s murder was not by a monster, but by an ordinary man smh.com.au/national/nsw/lili… – at Sydney, New South Wales
