Hello, I’m from Gaza.
We’re living through hell
homes destroyed,memories erased,loved ones gone. Even the innocence of our children has been shattered.
Every bit of help—even a small donation—could save a life or rekindle a flicker of hope.

Thank you for remembering Gaza 😢🙏

The ruling class are really going scorched earth on us. Literally, figuratively, economically, psychologically... all of it.

I think we should be pissed off about that. Like mad enough to... do something about it.

Turns out there’s an issue with a config file for installations in virtual machines, editing it managed to fix it. Gonna try out more OSes, plain Ubuntu was working fairly well, gonna try LMDE 6 again

Melpomenë @melpomene.bsky.social · 1d

Testing Linux OSes on virtual machines has been strangely frustrating, certain things don't seem to work well, but I think that might be a VM thing, I wanna see how it works if I have the OS actually installed.

Even a small donation could really help get Nabil the creams he needs for his skin (going to put a picture in the replies here)

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Eman. Before this she stayed home with her children Nabil, 7, Muhammad, 4 and Taim, 2 and her husband was a barber. Her husband was shot in the foot trying to get aid and Nabil is suffering from severe skin infections from contaminated water.

MTI is based on digital purchases and relies on AI. Those upset with the system may wish to use cash as much as possible, which obviously limits the amount of information MTI can acquire

Smaller scale hobby spaces are at risk from MTI. NSFW material isn’t the only thing deemed “high risk” and thus prone to censorship under the platform

MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

As for which OS, so far I'm leaning on a Mint flavor (hehe), possibly Debian Edition for stability, though 22.2 worked fine. Also possibly considering Ubuntu Studio. I am def *not* doing rolling release distros, so no Arch.

Managed to get an SSD for fairly cheap. I'm gonna install a Linux OS on it and try disconnecting my Windows SSD to see how well I do running stuff in it to see if I really can go without Windows because this OS is pissing me off in new ways each day

the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."
www.calonews.com/featured-top...

Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.”

On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers.

According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers.

After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.

Is there a BDS list for the UAE like there is for Israel?

Everything I’ve seen just says “don’t go to Dubai!” which is very easy for me lol, but I’m wondering if there are brands/products more closely associated with the UAE
