The Forgotten Faithful: Arab Christians, 2008
‘Despite their deep roots, Arab Christians are being driven out of their land by a rising tide of religious and political extremism,’ says Kashi. ‘Attacks on Christians are up dramatically from a decade ago, prompting a huge wave of out-emigration.

CDC Scales Back Child Vaccine Schedule
theonion.com/cdc-scales-back-child-vaccine-schedule
The Trump administration sharply cut the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule from 17 to 11 recommended shots, with health experts warning that changes were made without an adequate review and will only confuse parents and clinicians. What do you think? The…
What’s the world’s largest pinniped? A male southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina). Reaching lengths of 19 ft (5.8 m) and weights of up to 8,157 lbs (3,700 kg), these giants can be more than ten times the size of females! They also sport a massive inflatable proboscis, which resembles an elephant’s trunk. When inflated, it amplifies battle cries meant to ward off competition during mating season.

Today, Europe faces a parallel dilemma: how to respond when its most powerful ally directly threatens an EU and NATO member state.
Europe is edging toward another Munich agreement moment, with concessions dressed up as stability and peace a euphemism for appeasement. The events in the coming weeks will largely determine the very future of Europe.
Trump wants Greenland. Europe’s tepid response is putting NATO and global security at risk
So far the response across the continent to both the Greenland threats and the US’ actions in Venezuela, have been feeble and confused.

For the past three years, we've been working on tools and protocols to monitor the health of the Tor network. 🩺 This work aims to strengthen the Tor network's resilience and resistance to relay attacks. These tools recently underwent a third-party audit, and here are the results! https://blog.torproject.org/code-audit-network-health-tools/

"Resilience" has become a dark pattern. Ordinary resilience is a good thing, the ability to recoup from a setback.
"Resilience" as capitalist society frames it is the imperative to endure an endless series of existential challenges and remain produtive.
A few folks have asked about the new Dell 52” 6kish display. It's interesting but I have a feeling its DPI is in a super oddball zone that'd look kind of terrible on Mac. Price is also pretty crazy. This is a super niche display, not really sure who its for but not me.

Was reading French “oh no snow!” news so decided to check the traffic. I am amuse.
@zkatkat thanks for hosting this discussion, it helped clarify some things that were previously quite vague for me
especially that the structure of a project matters much more than its licence
it strikes me that the projects that have been successful under capitalism (in that they serve their users well and their contributors are able to make a living) have a good diversity of orgs that are active users of the software, so that the people involved have a decent choice of places to work
the asf fairly deliberately tried to structure itself to support projects which operate like that, albeit not entirely successfully
the rhetoric around free software and open source has very often minimized that aspect of how projects work in practice, or even denied it outright by claiming that contributors are doing it in their spare time
which has done younger programmers a disservice by talking up false narratives of what careers in open source look like
compounded by ways of doing open source such as npm or github that are far less community-oriented than the prominent projects when i started out decades ago
there’s a lot more small-project open source than there used to be, and i don’t know of any practical examples of ways to make them sustainable other than luck; and even medium-sized projects are pretty precarious
and yeah this mostly reflects that living under capitalism is precarious
i love the idea of collectivist community-oriented projects that take a firm ethical stance
the sustainable projects that i know of mostly got there by luck, but i wonder if there are lessons to be learned that could increase the chances of replicating the trick deliberately…
dunno, except i’m pretty sure there are more useful examples from outside software of how to organise people :-)
There may be those in Europe who are less than forceful... but this is the Chair of Austria's "NATO Enlargement Committee”. And he's not taking any shit from the USA. If they attack or otherwise “acquire" Greenland, then Europe will take control of all the USA bases in Europe and defend itself.
I really hope that the folks behind 
@AsahiLinux know how much I appreciate their work.
I recently started backing them on Open Collective. They appear to be actively working on adding new features, and I've even seen demos of the M3 now popping up on other platforms. They're well worth your support if you'd like to see support for alternatives to macOS on Apple Silicon grow.
