Sigh. The media trope that voters need to learn more about Harris. Well then, do you job and inform them. That's your job....

@davew I think Biden had even more hurdles to overcome than Harris. His sudden physical aging was alarming to people. His approval ratings remain low, probably due to the admin's failure to hype its achievements during his term. Nobody knows what he did. Harris has energized millions of people who were unenthused before, and has received many Republican endorsements who may not have spoken out if Biden had continued (but we don't know that for sure of course). @jeffjarvis

I'm doing a clearance sale of the Libreboot 9020. *Heavy* price reduction:

minifree.org/product/libreboot…

I'll have two new products in November, but I still have a lot of 9020 in the lab. *All 9020's must go!*

The base 16GB RAM and 240GB SSD Libreboot 9020 setup with i5 is £138, plus shipping/VAT.

It's quite a nice Haswell (Intel 4th gen) machine with free initialisation including raminit.

Libreboot preinstalled, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI. Your choice of Linux/BSD setup (Debian by default).

#Gaza #Palestine

Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian studying philosophy at Columbia University in NYC, tells TRT World that his school is complicit in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, the apartheid imposed by Tel Aviv in the occupied West Bank and the bloodshed committed in Lebanon.

He tells TRT World that Columbia leaders keep strong financial ties with Israel and that pro-Palestine groups on campus have constantly experienced systemic discrimination in the past 12 months.

Ich habe gerade eben seinen Artikel im CJR gelesen.

@jeffjarvis ist damit ein erstklassiger Demokratie-Verteidiger.

Bravo👏

PS Bei uns kann man mit wenigen Ausnahmen (Arte, 3sat) dem ÖRR dieses journalistische Versagen konstatieren.



Here's a warning that the right-wing could go after the 1st Amendment next, using "originalism" to wipe out speech freedoms. Watch out: prosecution for blasphemy could follow.
Important caution, so a gift link:

I can't believe that after all the billions and blood shed fighting the Taliban and ISIS, America is now electing them.


Every few weeks I feel inspired to start my own Mastodon server.

Then I remember I'm unemployed and can't afford hosting and my google workspace bill is already painful with two user accounts.

Oh, I really should've started using #Python's `pathlib` module instead of `os.path` sooner. I didn't realise it's been standard since Python 3.4! :python:

#Gaza #Palestine

Showing solidarity with people in Gaza has become risky in Germany.

Artists, writers, street protesters have been cancelled, silenced or arrested. Some even lost their jobs after expressing anger against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

It’s part of what Germany sees as its historical responsibility to support Israel unconditionally.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen spoke to a young boy who was chased by police at a protest in support of Palestine.

#Gaza #Palestine

Amnesty International says there have been horrifying cases of torture and degrading treatment of Palestinian detainees, with a failure to investigate incidents in custody.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch says Israeli forces have published degrading photographs and videos of detained Palestinians, including children.

France 24 spoke to Ahmed Benchemsi, Advocacy and Communications Director for the Middle East at Human Rights Watch.

I asked 23andMe to delete my data. Here is my adventure!

After failing their super secure "tell us your birthday" additional check, I emailed customer support. They asked for a copy of my ID which I refused to give them, telling them that two-factor auth should be enough and that I live in the EU. They then replied agreeing to delete my data but that by law (!) they had to keep my samples and test results. I'm married to a lawyer, so I asked @AugustB to look into it:
