#Gaza #Palestine

With just days remaining before the US presidential election, the admissions by several grassroots Muslim-American organisers in a private WhatsApp group corroborate reports that not only is Donald Trump gaining momentum amongst sections of the Muslim and Arab-American community, but that many have already decided to vote for a third-party candidate to hold the Democrats accountable for the US-sponsored Israeli war on Gaza.

Climate change story time. During a recent family event I explained the dynamics of climate change and what it means weather wise to a family member.

Yesterday I met them again, and came to me pale-faced to tell me I was right. With the news of the flooding in Spain things hit really really hard it seems.

It went from, is this stuff real to oh shit in a month or so. There is an upside to accelerating climate change.

#Gaza #Palestine

The killing of journalists worldwide surged in 2022-23 compared with the previous two years, with a majority of cases unsolved, the United Nations has said.

On average, one journalist was killed every four days, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said in a report released on Saturday.

At 162 deaths, the number of journalists killed while working leaped 38 percent, the report found, calling the increase alarming.

Going to be dark years ahead if the Orange Mussolini wins along with the destruction of our society and our democracy.

Oh, George. Over the years your opinions have gone from puerile, to vile, to senile.



"A new dental scam is to pull healthy teeth to sell you expensive fake ones"

Well us Brits have always been amazed at how white and pearly American teeth are but dentistry is the US has clearly gone down the same oligopolistic and #enshittification rabbithole that the rest of American medicine has - as already documented by #pluralistic.

"Many dental clinics that offer implants have consolidated into chains owned by private equity firms that have bought out much of implant dentistry. In health care, private equity investment is sometimes criticized for overtreatment and prioritizing short-term profit over patients."

In the UK dentistry is increasingly privatised and our new Health Minister has been well bribed by the (often American) health companies to move even more of our health care to private sector contractors who will obviously take their cut. This will not end well.

Yay! No interest in a Chinese vehicle, but I would be happy to buy a Mexican vehicle

Mention of death.

Very happy with the result of my latest project, a DIY NAS solution based on Debian and ZFS. It really gave me a lot of focus which I needed and I learned a lot! Few little things left to do now, like adding some heatsinks to the ssd's and replacing the gpu (and some cable management).

Already thinking about my next project, which will probably be a (budget) Linux gaming desktop for daily use, since I kinda gave up the P720 for this :)

Keep tinkering!
