"The boy knows that his salvation lies
in the power of the syllable—
he captures cold cursive in chalk on slate
forging words forming phrases
raising a bridge over the quagmire
one kernel of knowledge at a time."

Israel is recruiting African refugees for "life-threatening" operations in Gaza in exchange for settled status in the country, sources have revealed.
There are approximately 30,000 African asylum seekers in Israel.
They have faced growing pressure from anti-immigrant politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who regularly refers to them as "infiltrators".

I often go on long walks around my neighborhood for exercise. And I often see ridiculously huge trucks or SUVs parked on the street.
These monstrosities are not only ugly, they're also extremely dangerous.
But fortunately, Jen Sorenson (@jensorensen) has a solution!

this is a difference between a lifted, functional utility minded "large" truck that is literally used to tow people out of off-road trails (including things up to the size of busses) and one of the smallest off the line trucks you can buy today.
One of them is tall for a reason, clearance of bolders and other obstacles, the other literally has no clearance and would be functionally worthless off-road yet is taller and has a much smaller windshield and larger hood/entire front of the vehicle.
Key stages in the decline of academic Marxism
Of course this critique of Marxism is mostly wrong on many aspects, but it's at least honest (instead as being completely bunk as 99% of similar endeavours). It's somewhat similar to people criticising Darwin for not having a functioning genetic theory to try invalidating evolution.

Hey #mastodon #hivemind , #internet / #opensource #developers , #journalism pros, #podcast makers, #fediverse experts, etc., I'm seeking ideas & recommendations on how to do substantial, text-based or transcribed #interviews for Mastodon, but perhaps leveraging other Fediverse-friendly apps, for audio, video, etc. Ideally, using Mastodon to promote, share, submit questions, etc.
I'd like to create a best known methods doc to help others too, while evading the 500 char. limit.

🐧 🎮 Anti-Cheat gaming on Linux | New plans potentionally further helping ✅
◉Success would knock kernel-level anti-cheat
◉If fruitful - people can see more clear who block Linux purposefully
◉AC like this gone ~90% of games would run on Linux ◉Games like Fortnite would be made to run on Linux more likely? Tim Sweeney of Epig liking it or not
◉Windows is turning to a Linux distro in future?

The company blocking blood oxygen features on Apple Watch has new deals with Google and Qualcomm.
Pulse oximetry features were recently removed from new Apple Watches due to Masimo's patent infringement claim. Now the medical device maker has announced deals with Qualcomm and Google for Wear OS reference platforms.
They say that OEMs who use them will design the wearables exteriors and software, but with internal hardware, software, and sensors designed/tested by Masimo.
