Here is a threat/risk of armed mutiny against Israeli MoD should Hamas or PA be in charge of Gaza.

Gallant is between the ICC's potential warrant and the Netanyahus' to-the-bitter-endists. Remarkable that the video is shared by junior. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-05-25/ty-article/.premium/pm-netanyahus-son-shares-clip-of-apparent-idf-reservist-threatening-military-coup-in-gaza/0000018f-af39-d24f-a5df-ffffd6180000?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

After reading that old but still actual post of https://ar.al/2022/11/09/is-the-fediverse-about-to-get-fryed-or-why-every-toot-is-also-a-potential-denial-of-service-attack/ by @aral I tried to think a bit. May be I am not best at this, sorry if so.
that anything that is not a really decentralized thing, literally a peer-to-peer stuff such as Utopia, it will eventually will end up the same way as Fediverse which is merging into few large clamps over time, like mastodon[dot]social/online I am sitting on.

Last day to vote for #Fedivision2024

You can listen to my own little entry, hastily recorded and imperfect, at:

https://fedivision.party/#UFOP

To vote for it, message the Fedivision bot:

@vote VOTE UFOP

(You can vote for up to 3 songs. Full instructions at https://fedivision.party/vote/)

There are lots of excellent entries this year so try and give them all a listen if you can.

Damn, didn’t realise the fedivision bot picks up the vote even if it is not the only thing in the post.

(Should really only pick it up if the post starts with that and is the only thing in it.)

Ok, going to vote again for the three songs I selected earlier so I don’t end up voting for myself :)

When we first moved here, 45 made it impossible for foreign spouses to work. So my wife went back to school and today, she’s graduating with her Bachelors in Psychology. Next stop: grad school! (Thankful for California’s excellent public universities system, and resident tuition!)

Sabrena felt she got an excellent education at SF State, and is looking forward to start the clinical psychology masters program to be your friendly multilingual culturally relevant therapist in a few years

Kitten bugfix release:

Please upgrade to the latest release that fixes a regression introduced into sessions object with the latest JSDB¹/JSDF² upgrade:

https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/issues/177

Persisting arbitrary objects to sessions is a supported workflow and this regression broke that.

e.g., See the Kitten Count Sessions example: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/examples/kitten-count-sessions/index.page.js

@tommi Hey, that sounds a like lovely meetup, sorry I missed it.

Sounds like you’ll enjoy Place, the personal/peer-to-peer Small Web place app that I’m creating Kitten and Domain to build and deploy with. Will ping you when it’s more of a thing.

In the meantime, here’s an intro to Kitten you can follow along with but Kitten is aimed at devs not everyday folks who use technology as an everyday thing (it’s for making the latter) :)

Given the developments this week it has become clear that:

  • The International Criminal Court,
  • The International Court of Justice,
  • Ireland,
  • Spain,
  • and Norway…

…are all Hamas.

Yes, there is no other explanation and Israel is by no means an apartheid state engaged in genocide (how could you even think such a thing, you raging antisemite, you?!)

aral, (edited ) to Israel
@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to halt its Rafah military offensive.

@mzarra If Israel ignores it, they will be breaking international law. Individual countries will be justified in imposing sanctions.

Also, it increases the pressure on those governments/politicians enabling Israel.

The Pentagon has never successfully passed an audit and cannot account for over half of its assets.

Lockheed Martin gets more money from the US government than the Dept of Education

Why are taxpayers spending nearly $1 trillion a year to enrich a few arms manufacturers?

@toussaint Also: military emissions are not reported and thus not included in climate change calculations. So the real cost is much, much higher for us all.
