apis, to news in France bans all pro-Palestinian demonstrations

There have been no elections in Gaza since 2006

At that point, Hamas won on a plurality of 41%.

Hardly overwhelming.

Today, 50% of the population are under 18 & 64% of adults say they do not feel it is safe to criticise Hamas.

So enough of your nonsense, though frankly, even if a large majority had voted Hamas in a recent election, that would still leave a lot of people who are against Hamas.

Hamas are not their elected representatives. They are a brutal dictatorship who rule Gaza with violence and fear, including slaughter & rape of their own.

Start sending invites to Signal. Setting up group chats can help too, as invitations to those create mild FOMO in the mind of the invitee, then once they have the app they can use it for things besides group chats.

apis, to news in Ground News - White House says Iran 'actively facilitating' some attacks on US military bases

Eh, feels as though we’re inching into WWIII.

By having better intelligence?

Though mostly I think these governments are just aligning with the wishes of the US, coupled with the knowledge that they can afford to be cavalier with the rights of citizens who might have attended, and… they want to avoid the complexity of policing this.

Finally feel like am on the mend from a respiratory infection + injury to torso.

Which is great but now very behind on a lot of basic stuff in my life & feel it’ll be a while before my stamina is back up, so the trick will be tackling things without getting either worn out or despondent.

Some heavy mental stuff to process too, which reemerged prior to getting sick, but feeling somewhat hopeful, in that I suspect the period of dormancy was a total block for a couple of decades.

Cheers.

Majority of participants aren’t from Beehaw.

Bar one person, it seems all of the Beehaw people in the thread have similar concerns to OP.

Well done. Can remember you mentioning this person before.

Oh no. Hope next week’s a bit less meh.

Going to have a look. Not because I don’t believe you, but because it seems so at odds with the usual vibe here that am wondering whether someone unleashed some bot accounts to push this stuff.

If it is regular Beehaw members, that is for sure unnerving!

EDIT: am too dumb at internet to find it. Tried a search (for “ai” to keep it broad), browsing local and looking at subscriptions which aren’t totally incompatible places for such a topic, but coming up blank. Feel free to fling a link my way.

Painfully. Ribcage & sternum in bits following some overly exuberant dancing on the 30th. Hopefully just bruising & fractures and not soft tissue damage, but extra uncomfortable with a bad cough.

Still, should help me quit smoking as in too much pain to want to & likewise to shift pattern of seeing boyfriend to something far less frequent.

EDIT: realised I had to end things with boyfriend, so did that then got a barrage of super-manipulative texts, complete with vague suicide threats, so definitely dodged a bullet there. Very supportive message then came in from a mutual friend, so was able to clear up a few things.

Oof. Well, to my surprise.

Have so much going on (nothing bad, though some confounding stresses are trying to emerge) that have been procrastinating on replies to the usual weekly threads, and now a summary feels ever more distant.

As for Christmas itself, my tiny & fairly reclusive family go for a super low stress affair, but many years even that much feels far big a palaver. Planning to propose we just do it once every few years, and hone in on the aspects we genuinely like.

apis, to privacyguides in Why Not Store Encrypted Emails in Plaintext Locally?

Just as it inconveniences you to have to decrypt to search, it would similarly slow down anyone malicious who gains access to your machine.

Am in favour of allowing users to decide which features are best for their needs, but this seems like it would be easy to forget to reinstitute local encryption after a search, so can also understand why developers prevent storing in plaintext.

Impressive! Was it grand?
