I still think the messaging of this is alarmist and quite frankly, lame. Recall how we also have had multiple bad implementation details in HTTP/2, some that aren't even really possible to fix there so some people recommend h3 instead. Which then has its own share of challenges.

They're all far from simple. They are all complicated.

By January 2025, every single university in Gaza — as well as most of its libraries and archives — had been destroyed by Israeli aerial bombing, ground-based assaults, and a massive Israeli military campaign of bulldozing and blowing up infrastructure that had merely been damaged in previous attacks.

Those original documents, those climate-controlled storage units, those finding aids and reading rooms are gone.

People may yet learn about this day in history class, just as they learn other dates on which a people's fate was decided. The names of the decision makers will go down in disgrace."

Gideon Levy issues a final warning via Haaretz, without mincing words, about what is to come.

Government accused of silencing legal support before controversial protest
https://voxpoliticalonline.com/2025/08/07/government-accused-of-silencing-legal-support-before-controversial-protest/
Campaign group Defend Our Juries has reported that its website has been taken down, days before a major demonstration in London – in a move that raises serious questions about the UK Labour government’s attitude to protest and dissent.

This is what complicity in genocide looks like.

The only valid reason for working at Microsoft right now is if you’re actively engaged in sabotage.

Same goes for Google, and any other corporation working with Israel to help commit genocide in Palestine.

History is watching (and taking notes).

@grumble209 @fabio @palestine @moderation @Gargron @staff Here’s the thing: antisemitism is a very real thing and, sadly, there are people who hate Jewish people for no other reason than the fact that they’re Jewish.

What’s terrible about Israel and Zionists weaponising antisemitism – by equating it with being anti-genocide and anti-Zionism to stifle criticism of the genocide they are committing in Palestine – is that it dilutes the semantics of the word, understandably leading to the sort of sentiment you just expressed and making Jews everywhere less safe.

Israel’s willful conflation of Jewishness with Zionism and support of its policies and the ongoing genocide is also one of the most most antisemitic things I can think of. Imagine equating a people (Jews) with being pro-genocide. They go so far as to label Jewish people who oppose their genocide (including “Holocaust” survivors and relatives of the same – who they disdain for “having been weak”) as “the wrong kind of Jew” or even “antisemitic”.

Zionists are some of the most antisemitic people I know.

So, the last time Tim Cook bribed Trump (with a $1M donation to his inauguration fund) the Apple tech bros kept telling us that was a personal donation from Cook, not from Apple the company.

What's their line of defense gonna be now that the bribe has a big ass Apple logo on it?

Amidst the societal turmoil caused by a handful of narcissistic individuals, cat and other animal posts on social media offer a much needed dose of comical and stress relieving relief. It's no wonder that some catto and doggo have managed to build a massive following. You just can’t keep consuming stress inducing content. Thank you for posting all those cute animal pics and videos.

No, it's not only the US who will suffer from RFK Jr cancelling vaccine research.

1️⃣ You can't just instantly teleport research. Cancelling US projects slows global progress.

2️⃣ Viruses spread across borders so preventing pandemics will always be a group project. The US is letting the team down and putting the world at risk.
