Palestinians call for mobile homes, caravans as tents have worn out
People are now asking for mobile houses, caravans. They don’t want tents any more.
They’re saying that they’ve been asking for tents for the past two years, they have been living with the same plastic sheets and tarps for the past two years, and they’re all fragile and worn out.
![Palestinians struggle to live under harsh conditions as cold weather damages tents amid Israeli attacks in Gaza City, Gaza, on December 12, 2025 [Mahmoud Abu Hamda/Anadolu]](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/711/792/385/187/729/original/d45f5e652fb70d12.webp)
“The Israeli authorities continue to block the entry of basic shelter materials, fuel and water infrastructure, leaving people exposed to entirely preventable harm. When access is denied, storms become deadly. This suffering is being manufactured by policy, not weather.”

Heavy rains trigger floods, mass evacuations in Pacific Northwest
Heavy rains drenching the Pacific Northwest triggered flooding across much of the region, closing dozens of roads and prompting the evacuations of tens of thousands of people.
Today in "Don't Trust AI to Tell You Facts": How several different "AI" programs messed up the simple fact of to whom I dedicated a book, and what that means for how much you should trust "AI" to tell you the truth about things (spoiler: not much at all):
From top AI coding user globally to completely stop using it because it's so much harder to review AI code than write it myself. And they say all software developers jobs will be replaced by LLM. Life comes fast at you. 🤣 https://xcancel.com/jhleath/status/1999589156314578961?s=46

@silverpill I have some problems while installation of Mitra on my Debian server mysteriousinsight.xyz
First, it seems to be installed, because if I enter mitra on terminal it shows me
Mitra admin CLIUsage: mitra [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>Commands:....
If I try to use e.g. the command mitra instance-report it shows
thread 'main' panicked at mitra_config/src/loader.rs:54:9: /var/lib/mitra owner (109) is different from the current user (0) note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
If I try cargo build --release --features production on terminal, it shows
error: could not find `Cargo.toml` in `/root` or any parent directory
Thank you :)

@NilaJones People really believe it was their hard work that got them ahead. But you can always point to the exact circumstances and turning points where our privileges allowed the hard work to even affect anything in your life.
And the funny thing is, thinking about "working hard" affecting your circumstances. There are maybe two people (in these circles) I can think of who have worked anything CLOSE to as hard or struggled as much as I have over the past 35 years.
AND! I don't think it's a coincidence that those are also the only two people who have offered me financial support when things were really bad!
Apropos!

Are you enjoying your #Caturday ?
Came across these (as it turns out) very affectionate cuties while running errands this morning!
What do you mean you haven't been fed? I just watched you eat it!
#pdx I realized I don't have plans Friday evening and I kind of want some.
anyone want to come to https://www.crowdsupply.com/events/2025/12/12/hacker-holiday-party-2025 with me?
(Nerd Holiday Party at Ctrl-H)
Any other cheap/free ideas for how to spend the evening?

@jameyJamey Sharp - not sure if either of you would be into it?

Y'all can stop priv mentioning me for the name now
A conversation with an incredibly technical friend last night made it clear to me that the biggest change in computing of the last 15 years eludes the SV blob: most client devices are slow, low-end Androids with *incredible*, *up-to-date* browsers.
I know a lot of online friends are in the same situation as me. But in my IRL erstwhile (geographically scattered) peer group, literally everyone
a) owns a house and
b) can and does take time off work (even if "only" 2 weeks a year) and
c) travels at least 1 or 2X a yr for pleasure, almost all internationally.
It's hard to maintain a real authentic friendship when our circumstances are so discrepant. What am I supposed to chat about? "That's great, and I'm so excited I made my rent this month!"
And the funny thing is, thinking about "working hard" affecting your circumstances. There are maybe two people (in these circles) I can think of who have worked anything CLOSE to as hard or struggled as much as I have over the past 35 years.
AND! I don't think it's a coincidence that those are also the only two people who have offered me financial support when things were really bad!
