Exclusive | How Israel Turns Aid Routes Into Drug Pipelines in Gaza

Under Israel’s siege, Gaza faces a new form of occupation: the deliberate flooding of the Strip with narcotics. Pills hidden in flour sacks, drugs smuggled via aid trucks, and packages dropped by Israeli drones are spreading addiction, crime, and social collapse.

Officials, medical professionals, and eyewitnesses told QNN that Israel exploits aid routes and controlled airspace to distribute drugs, often through collaborators, leaving Palestinian authorities powerless.

꼭 한번 사용해 보시고 공유해 보세요 (개인적으로 이미지 DL이 가능한 것이 가장 마음에 들어요).

(3일 만에 급하게 만들었으니 거친 부분이 남아있을 수도 있는데, 혹시라도 있으면 알려주세요)

합법이라고 무조건 옳거나 세상에 도움되는것이 아니다 홀로코스트도 합법이었고, 노예제도 합법이었고, 인종 분리/차별도 합법이었다 이유를 항상 묻고 의문을 갖는 습관을 들여야한다 (나도 그렇고)

排除の必要な帰化植物の分布調査とか、以前は一つ一つ人手でやっててとても県内カバーできなかったところ、今は撮影しながら車で走って自動解析、みたいな話を伺ったりして、機械学習〜生成AIあたりの関連技術のサポートで、全然できることが変わってきているんだなあと

I’m getting old because I understand these Leonardo Cohen songs better than I did as a young person. (Also I don’t like some of them as much as I did once. )

I also understand Rage Against The Machine better— and rather than finding it immature as I thought I would eventually I sit there and agree. Like they are singing the alphabet.

Wrap up 2025 / january:
The next morning, it was again very humid, foggy, and a bit rainy.
To make it safely over the last steep hill (muddy, slippery path) we started early. It was very beautiful to walk this path in the morning, surrounded by pure nature and with the sound of only some birds, the raindrops and our breath.
On top of the hill Lactapata, —the surrounding area was fully covered in fog and deep hanging clouds— we waited, always looking in one specific direction, the camera ready, to get the first glimpse of Machu Picchu. 🤩 Wow, imagine how wonderful it would have been! But sadly, the clouds and fog did not want to reveal the magical place.
So, we continued and made it o Hydroelectrica by lunchtime. From there we 'just' 😉 had to follow the train tracks for the last 10km. Yes, its is the officially path, we had sometimes to walk on the tracks. Luckily, the trains honked very loud all the time, so there was plenty of time to find a spot where we could squeeze ourself into the bushes to let the train pass. 😎
Finally we made it to the super touristy village 'Aguas Calientes' aka 'Machu Picchu Pueblo'. We were so, so, so done! I barely could walk anymore (I had so crazy swollen calves and ankles, from sand flies that bit me while sitting in the garden of the coffee plantation guesthouse).
It was amazing to step under a warm shower, to relax the muscles a bit after these exhausting days!
(we walked 75km: arrival day ~7km, 1.trekking-day 20km, 2.day 16km, 3.day 22km)
In the evening, we went to Machu Picchu ticket office, to ask if there were any tickets left for the next day. We expected to step into a looong queue and, with luck, get a ticket for one of the slightly less interesting circuits... Big thanks to the low season— there was only 1 person in the queue! 😂 I could even choose between several time slots, and tickets for the famous circuit were also still available. Wow, I felt so grateful 🥰

In a capitalist world you build a company to ship a desirable product; the more desirable, the more money you make.

In a post-capitalist world you build a company that monopolizes some commodity and forces people to do business with you. You use your excess profits to buy politicians to protect your monopoly.

In a post-capitalist world, there's no business advantage to making your product desirable.

In case you were wondering what happened to the "User Experience" world.

2025년 한국의 물가상승률은 2.3~2.4%로 예상됩니다. 다시말해 내년 급여가 이만큼 오르지 못했다면 우리의 급여는 감소한 것이 됩니다.
2025年の韓国の物価上昇率は2.3~2.4%と予想されます。つまり、来年の給与がこの程度上がらなかった場合、私たちの給与は実質的に減少したことになるのです。​:meow_uwucry:

Working full time on the Social Web

In January 2026, I will begin working full time in my role as Director at the Social Web Foundation. I am looking forward to the challenge of growing this young non-profit and fulfilling our mission to make a bigger, better Fediverse.

As a refresher: I have been working in the area of federated social networks since starting Identi.ca in 2008. Federated social networks are social platforms that let users on one platform connect to and interact with users on another platform. Linked up with open standard protocols, these platforms together form a Social Web that puts people first.

In 2018, I was a co-author of the ActivityPub standard for social network interoperability. I currently maintain the spec for the W3C and develop extensions for it. In 2024, I wrote ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web for O’Reilly Media. And I co-founded the Social Web Foundation to further encourage the use of ActivityPub in social networks.

For the last year, I’ve been working nights, lunchtimes and weekends on SWF while holding down my full-time role as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation. I love working at OEF; the organization build Open Source software to help cities fight climate change. I have felt very fulfilled in my work there, and I’ve made really strong friendships with the team. It’s been a very special place to work that has changed how I think teams can be.

But over the last year, SWF has had some really amazing opportunities, and in 2026 we’ll be making some big steps forward for the Social Web. I can’t keep doing both jobs, and I feel like, after 4 years at OEF, I’ve done what I can to build up that organization, and I am ready to start on this next one.

It will feel good to have my full attention focused on the Social Web. I’m looking forward to seeing my Open Source friends at FOSDEM 2026 in Brussels at the end of January where I’m helping to organize the Social Web track. I’m speaking at Princeton mid-February, and I’ll be in the Bay Area at the beginning of March. All this time, I’ll be working hard to get the next version of ActivityPub released and to push out several software projects to make the Social Web more fun and interesting.

Thanks to everyone who’s put time, effort and help into the SWF. Thanks to my coworkers at OEF for encouraging me on my next steps in my career. Thanks to my wife and family for tolerating yet another leap into the void.

I hope you have as exciting a New Year as I will.
