US-made munitions have played a significant role in Israeli operations in Gaza. Bellingcat has collated scores of incidents where the remnants of US-made munitions have been found in the aftermath of Israeli strikes over two years of war in Gaza. This dataset, while only identifying a small fraction of the US weaponry that has been deployed by Israel during this period, provides new insight into a number of deadly strikes where significant civilian harm was recorded. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01/30/made-in-the-usa-how-american-built-weapons-have-wrought-destruction-in-gaza/?utm_source=mastodon

as the "AI trade" unravels and Wiley Coyote discovers that he is, in fact, over the cliff, i want to recall how the narrative has shifted over the last few years.

Oh, yes, that's my load-bearing mental health science fiction franchise.

We're investigating European-based Patreon alternatives. Does anyone have any experience with any of them? We're looking at Steady but it appears that they process their payments through Paypal which kinda defeats the point of trying to use a European platform...

Are you considering to apply to an Open Internet Stack open call from the @EUCommissionEuropean Commission ? You are welcome to join one of the matchmaking sessions on February 11.
The aim of the sessions is to facilitate people who are looking for consortium partners to apply for a grant together. There will be 3 sessions, organized per open call.

@EC_NGINext Generation Internet will give a brief introduction, and then the floor is open.

I honestly can't stress enough how the most disappointing part of the LLM craze is watching people I respected for decades fall for this bullshit.

Only 7 gasoline cars were sold in Norway last month. Seven! 98 diesel cars & 29 hybrids were also sold, but the rest were EVs. And this comes after Norway cut EV incentives. https://electrek.co/2026/02/03/even-after-cutting-ev-incentives-norway-only-sold-98-diesel-cars-in-january/

In 2025, the home delivery program at efoodnet.org -- which I've been working with for years -- delivered 395,200 pounds of food to families and shut-ins across the county. This is just a small piece of the good they do.

If you've got a buck or two to spare and toss it their way, I'd be immensely grateful.

Being an example of kindness, care, and attitude for your neighbors is a primo form of resistance, and shows contrast with the heartless folks spreading hate and violence.

one thing the web should have evolved by now is a portable non-centralised way to verifiably assert "I am the owner of <email address>" because this is clearly necessary for loads of things and approximately nobody does a good job of implementing it

this might have been what mozilla persona and original openid were basically. unfortunately those got kicked aside in favour of, at best, outsourcing your password table

"AI" is not actually a technology, in the way people would commonly understand that term.

If you're feeling extremely generous, you could say that AI is a marketing term for a loose and shifting bundle of technologies that have specific useful applications.

I am not feeling so generous.

AI is a technocratic political project for the purpose of industrializing knowledge work. The details of how it works are a distant secondary concern to the effect it has, which is to enclose and capture all knowledge work and make it dependent on capital.

With more and more Apple indie devs going all-in on LLMs I’m losing yet another thing I want to support on these platforms :(

(I don’t need any snark, thanks. For now I just wanna be sad about this, as this has been a community for me since the 1980s)
