Canadian civil society organisations have signed a letter urging the Canadian government to stop all arms transfers to Israel.
Addressed to Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly, and published on Tuesday, the letter warns of Canada's complicity in a "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza and calls upon the government to respect its obligations under the UN's Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which Canada acceded to five years ago.

Everyday people understandably rely on information quoted by scientists. But when that information turns out to be incorrect, things get complicated.For more than two decades, the claim that 80% of biodiversity occurs on the territories of the world’s Indigenous Peoples has been treated as fact. It has taken root in public discourse as an established truth.
The figure, however, is wrong, as we show in a comment article published today in the leading science journal Nature.
There is ample evidence showing Indigenous Peoples and their territories are essential to the world’s biodiversity. We don’t need an unsupported statistic to prove it.

Anker’s sleek whole home backup solution heads to Europe.
The modular Solix X1 already announced for the US is now available in Europe in single- or three-phase configurations. LFP battery capacities start at 5kWh and expand to 180kWh with up to 36kW of power output. That’s enough to juice any device — even your EV — for hours, days, or indefinite operation when integrated with solar.
Think Powerwall, but not from Elon Musk.

At least 22 Palestinians were killed and many others wounded in Israeli airstrikes targeting locations across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
In the northern Gaza Strip, two Israeli strikes claimed the lives of seven Palestinians, according to Basal. Six people were killed or injured in an attack near the Sheikh Zayed Towers, while another person died in a strike at the Houja intersection in the Jabalia refugee camp.

Belkin’s new noise-canceling headphones are just $60
Belkin released a wide range of budget headphones at IFA 2024.
Was looking for a non-subscription no-login #TextExpander app that's a bit better than #iOS keyboard #TextReplacements.
I found #Espanso. Almost gave up on it. Had trouble getting started finding* base.yml on my MacBook and making sense of the instructions. By accident*, I got to the base.yml and got it to open in the text editor.
Many #opensource #apps I've encountered have documentation that assumes some techie knowledge. To me, it's like their basic* starts at intermediate*. 🙄 #NotATechie
