#Iran has launched dozens of kamikaze drones at #Israel. Their flight time is estimated to be several hours, allowing air defence and the civilian population to thoroughly prepare for their arrival. Let us all hope that this will remain the only wave of attack and that there will be no casualties. A great war in the middle east is the last thing we, as humanity, currently need.

The #MiddleAges were a dark time when people considered the Earth to be flat, when the church suppressed enlightenment and when science stagnated as a result of conflict with religious beliefs.

If that sounds similar to your own views of history, then you should probably urgently watch this video by #ThePresentPast on #NebulaTV which corrects several misconceptions and points out downright disinformation: https://nebula.tv/videos/thepresentpast-why-the-medieval-flat-earth-myth-wont-die/

#Breaking: “Several gunmen in combat fatigues burst into a big concert hall in #moscow and fired automatic weapons at the crowd, killing and injuring an unspecified number of people, #russian media said.”

Something makes me fear that #putin may use this as an excuse for further escalation and terror against civilians. #russia

I have really no understanding for #Signal's decision not to let us use the app on secondary mobile devices, like it's possible with WhatsApp on tablets. The fact that the independent #MollyIM client has already implemented that feature shows that it's not a technical issue but a design decision. Just try out @mollyim, it's awesome! 😎

Once again, #Netanyahu ignores all Western appeals and warnings. Advancing into the place people were told was safe to flee to is the exact opposite of increasing efforts to reduce civilian harm. Where are they supposed to go now? #Rafah

Out of more than 1000 visitors of #37c3, at least 12% got sick. That's just what happens when the organiser defames those who call for hygiene measures “Covid extremists”. 🤡

#Quiz: I've printed my own banknotes, each of which has a number on one side and a face on the other. I proclaim the rule that every banknote valued 1984 💵 has Orwell's face on the back.

Question: Which banknote(s) of the following four do you have to flip in order to check whether the rule holds true? Select as few as possible.

(No other banknotes have been printed, these are the only ones.)

If you use an #adBlocker and have noticed that some websites don't work correctly, here's a suggestion that may help:

Disable the DuckDuckGo #TrackerRadar blocklist compiled by #Blokada, as it contains many false positives, i.e. domains wrongly classified as serving ads or trackers.

The reason I had been unable to determine the root cause for a long time was that Firefox only said “connection refused”, due to @tblock modifying the Hosts file.

The #Houthi rebels, who receive arms deliveries from #Iran, have struck yet another merchant vessel in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, #RedSea. This time, a German tanker was hit by an unknown missile.

We must not tolerate this Islamist terror against arbitrary civilian cargo ships!

Saxony has just become the third German federal state (out of 16) whose domestic intelligence services officially classify the nationalist “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) party as “proven right-wing extremist”. Their goal is undermining democracy; and using their hateful language, they have already inflicted severe damage on Germany's political climate.

Despite being set in a different millennium, the 30s are frighteningly close. Don't close your eyes – look and act!

pixelcode, 5 months ago to random

#Tor are currently asking for donations to keep enabling censorship circumvention, empowering political organizing, curbing surveillance, facilitating research and journalism as well as protecting whistleblowers.

Some have already complained that PayPal donations don't work via Tor. However, since you're logging in to your PayPal account which is already tied to your real name, there would be no benefit of using Tor in this case anyway.

Cool! @nitrokey now offer a mobile 4G router that is capable of routing the entire internet traffic through Tor! It's got a 7000 mAh battery and supports DNS-over-TLS, WireGuard and OpenVPN. 😎 Just the price is a little high for my liking 🤷

Geert Wilders' right-wing extremist “Party for Freedom” (please note the double-thinking) only has one member – Geert #Wilders himself. That way, he is legally not required to disclose his funding and, most importantly, he is able to dictate the party's policies.

This is nothing but a prototype of fascism.

Considering that this would not be possible in other countries (like Germany), where parties are required to be democratically structured, it also indicates a major flaw of Dutch democracy.

Two weeks ago, I prophesied that #Tutanota would rename themselves to just #Tuta, but none of you listened. Now, here we are! 😉

Anyway, congrats to @Tutanota, Tuta is a cool, modern-sounding and beautifully short name ☺️

The domestic intelligence service in the state of Saxony-Anhalt has categorised the nationalist “Alternative for Germany” party (AfD) “proven right-wing extremist”.

So, if you ever hear anything about #AfD policies, your internal alarm bell should immediately ring. They're fascists opposed to Germany's liberal democracy.

And especially during these tough times of widespread global antisemitism, it is the citizens', our, duty to put a stop to their malicious activity.

This is what the landing page of the German national railway company currently looks like, and I think it's a perfect representation of their service. https://bahn.de 🚆

Update: Turns out that this is not the fault of #DeutscheBahn, but of #Blokada's over-sensitive blocklist based on DuckDuckGo's #TrackerRadar and available in @tblock.
