⚠️ Flash Info ⚠️

🇮🇱Tsahal menace les Libanais du Sud : évacuation forcée avant 16h ?

#Israël #Liban #Hezbollah

Aujourd'hui, des photos accompagnées de tracts israéliens circulent à fond sur le net. On y voit des habitant·es d'Al-Wazzani, dans le sud du Liban, sommés de quitter leurs maisons avant 16h et de filer vers le nord. Passé cette heure, ils·elles ne pourront revenir que quand "le conflit sera fini." Bref, ça pue l'offensive militaire imminente.
Les médias arabophones s'emparent vite de l'info : pour eux, c'est clair, Tsahal prépare une...

Just discovered by chance that ITVX, the Independent TV streaming app, has added an extension to Safari. Calling it after the sound of a cash register just adds to the tackiness. I never requested this and, although it’s not enabled, I’m concerned that there is no way to completely delete it. The idea companies have that they can just install stuff on our devices is unsettling.

@katiefenn The extension is *inside* the app. The act of installing the app also makes the extension *available* (not active). It is *never* enabled automatically. Nothing additional is being installed or configured beyond the app itself.

Apps have been able to include extensions inside them for years. Unless they're enabled *by the user* they're just inert bits that do nothing.

Thanks Debbie 🙂

This is genuinely the first time I’ve seen an app bundle an *unrelated* extension, but now that you’ve explained this I realise it’s the usual way of installing extensions like ad blockers.

A Sapphire Flutterer (Rhyothemis triangularis) spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector on 24 Feb 2024. I wasn't expecting to find it in the area. I had to wait for this one to quit fluttering about before I managed to get shots of it.

On iNaturalist [ inaturalist.org/observations/2… ].

A medium size dragonfly with a blue body. Its wings are transparent, except for the part near the body, which is also a brilliant, sapphire blue.

Western media completely ignored this story or if they ever reported it, they failed to mention his video about the ongoing #genocide in #Gaza.


He is the 5th person setting himself on fire to protect the ongoing genocide and disgusting media chosing to ignore or hide it.

The white-faced ibis on the wetland trail, foraging amongst the water smartweed.
Photo of an ibis standing in left-facing profile in bright, blue, highly reflective water surrounding by Monet-like clusters of pink-flowered green shoots of water smartweed. The ibis is a lanky, slender bird with darkly iridescent green wings (this one with a bright spot of dark red on the lower shoulder), a long, ruddy brown neck, a striking red eye, and a long, decurved bill that arcs down from eir face like a small scythe.

Another amongst-the-smartweed picture from my wetland hike this weekend: Snowy egret. #EgretsIveHadAFew
Photo of a small, white heron standing in a pond of strikingly blue, reflective water up to just before eir legs meet eir snowy knickers. The elegant bird, a snowy egret, is standing in right-facing profile, long, white wings tucked demurely back over eir tail and proud head a poised "ess," eir vivid yellow eye wide and quietly wild where it rests just above the bright orange lores and short, black, sword-like bill. You can see part of eir reflection in the water below em, and all around are mirrored pairs of the water smartweed--leafy green leaf blades here and there dotted with nubby pink tufts of flower and looking like a (surprisingly unfuzzy) Impressionist painting.

In Jurassic Park (the book) they talk about the Cray X-MP supercomputer, so of course I looked it up.

It was released in 1982, featured among other things 128 MB RAM, up to 38 GB of storage and 4 CPUs running at about 100 MHz.

It was the most powerful computer in the world up until 1985 and cost about 15 million dollars.

Of course nowadays your phone is more capable than this beast.

A black and white photo of an animal the size of a large cat standing on a rock. It has a brushy tail and stout legs with decent (tree climbing) claws.

one of the problems is that we have crony capitalism vs theoretically perfectly free flowing capitalism. I'm not convinced that alternatives to capitalism are any better, though. People kinda suck when they get in positions of power, no matter what the system is.

@Aral Balkan We’ve seen an increase in them here in New Zealand recently. They certainly aren’t all driven by tradies who need them for tools and materials at construction sites. And you can’t see past them at intersections, which I’m sure increases the number of accidents. Totally unnecessary for most people.
