Facebook VS Linux distros

samedi 15 février 2025 à 11:38

Users report that Facebook blocks posting about "Linux". That implicitly also blocks posting about GNU, when people erroneously treat GNU as part of "Linux".

I would like to see first-hand and journalistic reporting about this. I can't test it myself since I absolutely refuse to be used by Facebook in any fashion.

NSA blinding itself, deleting web pages

samedi 15 février 2025 à 05:38

The NSA is now blinding itself to concerns of justice and/or rational thought, by ordering the deletion of web pages that use the terms "injustice" or " This policy threatens to wipe discussions of whether policies are just or unjust, and discussions of whether certain arguments are valid or not.

The deletion campaign is intended to wipe anything that relates to the diversity movement, and recognizes that some occurrences of words on the target list may be legitimate even to the magat mind. But judging each of the occurrences individually is an enormous job, so there will be blanket deletion at least at first.

Imagine pages discussing the inclusion of certain words on the deletion list. Those discussions might get deleted because of the word "inclusion".

Hostage release issues, ISR

samedi 15 février 2025 à 05:38

A few days ago, HAMAS accused Israel of violating the cease fire terms, and said it would delay the next release of hostages until Israel started complying.

A report attributed to HAMAS appears as two images in the article. If they do not appear, each image's space has a link to visit it,

The corrupter has done nothing to pressure Israel to keep its side of the agreement, but instead threatens HAMAS, demanding it disregard Israel's violations.

You can't expect a corrupt man to serve as an honest broker in making a deal, because he will not honestly insist that both sides keep the deal.

As we look at the horrible events of the war in Gaza, let's not lose sight of where we want to end up.

Urgent: Phone senators with this message

samedi 15 février 2025 à 05:38

US citizens: phone each of your senators and say this (in your own words).

Stop the attacks on government agencies that Congress has established and the gutting of crucial programs that Congress has already funded.

Congress sets the budget — not the president and not the hateful rich. I urge you to treat this like the constitutional crisis it is by stopping business as usual in the Senate until Trump and Musk back down.

If no one picks up, please leave a message — it'll count!

If you phone, please spread the word! Main Switchboard: +1-202-224-3121

I'm richer than you! infinity loop
