"We aren’t going to fix these problems over night. But, we can make things better, bit by bit. We can all make a change by having websites, talking about websites, sharing what we make, encouraging friends, and knowing that building the web is something that we do together. Everyone can make a difference and pave the way for the web we want to see. Be the change you want to see in the web."

In response to the call for action for Palestine, we put up this banner in Queens, New York to connect the struggle here to the valiant resistance in Palestine. While this may be a small symbolic action in comparison to what the fighters are doing in Gaza and the West Bank, we hope they will see this as a salute to their efforts. The work they are doing on behalf of the Palestinian people is felt around the world in struggles that have not yet blossomed, but see the potential in fighting for those who have been systematically oppressed by the United States.

Long live the resistance!
Let the flood of Al Aqsa drown all settler regimes!
Death to the US!
Death to the Zionist entity!

#introduction This is like my 10th #mastodon account. I feel out of the social media habit years ago when I first fled the bird place because it had become utterly obsessed with a particular public figure. I've dabbled since, dipping my toe into this or that community. It turns out, I'm not sufficiently single-minded to fit in anywhere. One week #politics, another #photography, another middle aged dad stories. So nonspecific instance HERE I COME.
in reply to gulfkiwi

So ... what do I talk about? #linux, confirming literally every mastodon stereotype (#nixos if you want to know). I'm primarily a #fujifilm shooter these days, though I've been considering migrating back to #canon. I don't like EVFs in cameras.

I'm a weird third culture Southerner liberal (in the "I've lived in the US for 50 years" sense, not the "I'm in Europe or academia" sense) amalgam.

The ONLY advantage Nuclear has over Solar is that it generates 24/7, but even when the cost of energy storage is add in, Solar is still FAR less expensive, FAR quicker to implement, and safer.
-- Read... Physicist MV Ramana on the problem with nuclear power
Nuclear is costly [10X solar], risky and new plants take decades to build, Ramana says. Why then, he asks in his new book, do governments still champion it?

@USAFVIETERAVET - Some nuclear plants are far worse than others, but all the financials I have seen show solar still way better than the best nukes, except in very special situations like near the poles. When running the numbers, make sure you include the reserve for decommissioning - that is the single largest component of the lifecycle cost of a nuke plant.

They are modular, self contained as well as almost the size of a tall human. I know this due to being a contractor advising on the access & information security surrounding the equipment. They can take less than a year to deploy and can have up to 12 small modular reactors connected to increase the power generation. There is no alternative solutions for significant power generation increases.. Solar is limited by the hours of sun...

For as long as we’ve had telephones, there have been people trying to trick someone into thinking they’re someone else. Now, voice AI tools make it so that scammers can clone someone’s voice and trick victims into thinking they’re talking to another person. @Techcrunch warns us to stop picking up the phone: flip.it/vpxc_t

A communique from the Jenin resistance:

"After nearly a century of colonial domination and 76 years since the founding of the occupation state, the Palestinian people have proven they cannot be exterminated. Their destiny is to achieve complete independence"

"This will only be achieved through the restoration of national unity, for which the recent Beijing Agreement [brokered by China between factions] is a faithful expression"
