#RFEC — Remote Fusion Energy Collector. A silicon based device that can convert the radiation of remote fusion sources to electricity with an efficiency between 20-30%. Might get to more than 30% with new materials. But passive energy collection with RFECs can cover domestic electricity needs, especially when combined with batteries. Formerly known as solar panels.
To those Americans getting offended that their president and country are being criticised for arming a genocide may I just remind you that there is something a tad more offensive than being criticised for arming a genocide which is arming a goddamn genocide. Get some fucking perspective.
Just read a take that “30 years ago we’d have to wait days for pictures of the Aurora”.
I think this is a case of “mysterious old technology mythical tales”.
First of all, digital cameras or the ability to convert analog video to digital stills existed, widely, since the 1980s. For consumers digital cameras were available in 1994.
For film, the fact is that in the 80s/90s there were 1-hour photo places literally everywhere.
Newspapers had photos of current events since the 19th century.
@thomasfuchs I saw a video documentary of how newspaper photojournalists in the US had special vans that can develop and scan films. They are transmitted through phone lines with something like an analog fax from anywhere with phone lines. I am pretty sure that was during the first half of the 20th century.
@Sherifazuhur so I've added two of their platforms the interactive encyclopedia of the Palestinian question and the Palestine chronology. I didn't add the institute itself as it is more focused towards political analysis. However, it seems that they do have more websites that qualify as a project that attempts to preserve memory or resist erasure under the section Digital Projects.
At least 14 activists were arrested today in #Cairo during a protest in solidarity with the women of #Gaza and #Sudan outside the UN Women regional office headquarters. They were reading a statement calling for an end to the occupation in #Palestine and the war in Sudan.
I look forward to updating apps installed with F-Droid. I get new bug fixes, improvements & features. I get a nice explanation of what changed. Sometimes it is great to see my tiny contribution (translation, finding a bug).
I hate updating apps that are installed through Google Play. Most keep getting bloated, change terms of service, change looks suddenly for no reason, add more advertising & tracking. They patronize me with their cute 'what's new' messages that say nothing valuable. #FOSS
Murdered 71 Palestinians in Gaza
Murdered 7 international food distrubution volunteers
Bombed a foreign Embassy in a third country
Passed a law banning foreign journalists from Israel
I'm slowly making a thread of resources that might support people speaking up for Palestine's liberation from the state of Israel's apartheid, occupation, and genocide.
Some of these resources could also help fedi admins and mods to discuss reports. Bad faith reporting is occurring across all social media platforms in an attempt to silence calls for an end to this genocide. Moderating during a genocide is not easy.
Feel free to add ones you've found (I will block if you add IOF propaganda or Zionist-leaning resources). Infographics and easy to read resources are good. Focus is on reputable resources - created by Palestinian organisations and people, and non-Zionist Jewish groups or people that support Palestinian liberation.
I'm collating resources to increase my own competency, but I hope sharing can help other people.
