What is Hackers' Pub?

We need to be more like the Amish in our approach to technology, cultivating a robust skepticism about each device and app, even if most of us will not be as strict as the Amish in rejecting them. The Amish ask the right questions before embracing something new: How will this impact our community? Is it good for families? Does it support or undermine our values? When they decide against adopting something new, the community supports the decision as a group.

You shouldn't need an app to understand how to be real. And you shouldn't feel compelled to perform every moment of every day. Nor should we want to live in a world where more and more people cannot distinguish between the real and the unreal.

Report: US-supplied prohibited thermal munitions evaporated 2,842 Palestinians "leaving behind [only] blood spray or small fragments of flesh".

"The intense heat is often generated by tritonal... used in US-made bombs like the MK-84."

Also found were fragments of American-made GBU-39s, bombs designed to keep buildings intact while killing everything inside by incinerating soft tissue.

Children growing up today won't experience their memories as physical things in the way that earlier generations did. No photo albums or VHS cassettes, no letters. They will leave behind a more ephemeral inheritance - a digital mausoleum in the form of defunct Instagram posts and dormant TikTok accounts.

We lose control over those artifacts if they are on platforms owned by large corporations like Meta or Google, we lose the tactile experience of holding in our hands something touched by an ancestor or made by another human being for us, we lose those many physical prompts of memory. We lose a sense of our fragility and limits, and, as a result, and understanding of what it means to be an embodied human being.

If we are to reclaim human virtues and save our most deeply rooted human experiences from extinction, we must be willing to place limits on the more extreme transformative projects proposed by our techno-enthusiasts, not as a means of stifling innovation but as a commitment to our shared humanity. Only then can we live freely as the embodied, quirky, contradictory, resilient, creative human beings we are."

Clashes with police as protests erupt in Sydney and Melbourne against Herzog’s visit

Police arrest and use pepper spray on people demonstrating against the visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who is in Australia until 12 February in response to the Bondi beach terrorist attack in December.

서울 쓰레기를 왜 충청도에서 태우나...'목소리 작은' 지방 동네가 표적 됐다 [민폐수도 서울] www.hankookilbo.com/news/article... "가장 많은 수도권 쓰레기를 받아내는 지방은 충청권이다. 올해 수도권 지자체들은 충북 업체들과 5만6,000톤가량, 충남 업체들과는 5만8,500톤의 생활폐기물 위탁 처리 계약을 각각 체결했다. 특히 거주민이 적고 노인 비율이 높아 소각장 등 공해시설 유치에 집단적으로 목소리를 내지 못해 일찍부터 피해를 받아온 소외 지역들에 쓰레기가 몰리고 있다."

The distance between us: are these people together or apart?

Intriguing images abound in Yolanda del Amo’s new book Archipelago, which explores how our longing for closeness coexists with a desire for individuality.

Jesse, Kerry, 2005
Years before it became a public anxiety, Del Amo pictured how technology contributes to isolation even in shared space.


In this photograph a young couple are side by side in separate beds, each staring at a laptop, their faces illuminated by the screens. The wedding portraits of her over his bed and his over hers suggest the novelty of their matrimonial status, yet there is already a lack of affection.

Noemí, Joseant, 2010
Photographed between 2004 and 2014 with a large-format camera, Archipelago was made in real interiors and outdoor locations in various countries including Spain and the United States. Del Amo describes the photographs as ‘a collection of “islands”, separated by the loneliness of each one and linked by the intimate bond of belonging to the same world’

『恐ろしい。

イスラエルはガザで3000人のパレスチナ人を蒸発させた、熱と熱圧力兵器を使用した。

もう一度読んでほしい。「蒸発」。

これらは範囲内のすべてを焼き尽くす兵器だ…。遺体すら残さない。

誰がイスラエルにそれらを提供したのか?

アメリカ合衆国とヨーロッパ。』
