🧵 1/4: Today was the largest UK #Palestine Solidary Campaign #demonstration I have attended since October 23. It marked 77 years since the #Nakba. I estimated 380/400k, organisers half a million and the police... 20k, the most egrarious figure I've ever heard. That would mean previous rainy demos were around 5k, which is violently deranged. There's ZERO #media coverage bar ONE Independent article quoting 20k. This blanket silence is deafening.

Want to unmask (sometimes), but scared of losing your job or the people you depend on?
Learn how to deal with the anxiety so you can actually do that...without defaulting to people pleasing, writing that off as a fantasy that's only available to other people, losing relationships you want to keep, or shutting/melting down.
We start Friday.

Die Kiev 60 mit den essentiellen Objektiven hatte ich schon im Rucksack, aber es war noch Platz. Was nimmt man da mit: die DSLR, falls man sie doch braucht, oder lieber das große Tele für die Kiev, also das alte Meyer Görlitz 300mm mit schmutzigen Linsen und Fungus?
Ich habe mich für letzteres entschieden. Und ich glaube, das war die richtige Entscheidung. Vermutlich hätte mir eine technisch perfekte digitale Version dieses Bildes längst nicht so gut gefallen wie das hier.
Zu sehen ist übrigens das idyllische Istein am südlichen Oberrhein.

Found in Naomi Klein's Doppelganger. The one lesson I wish the modern left would internalize more than anything.
Use shared language.
Don't use lefty jargon when the person you're talking to doesn't subscribe to these ideas. No white privilege, no colonial oppression, no intersectionality. Translate to a shared language, built on reasonable, common assumptions and do the work required to bring people on board.
Because you can be damned sure the MAGA crowd are doing the work.

The image features a red heart with a white outline, symbolizing love or health. In the center of the heart, there is a white cross, which is commonly associated with medical care or humanitarian aid. The heart is set against a white background, making the red color of the heart and the white cross stand out prominently. The edges of the heart and cross have a slight blur effect, giving the image a soft appearance. The overall design is simple and clear, with the heart and cross being the main focal points.

New York University is penalizing student commencement speaker Logan Rozos for condemning Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by withholding his diploma while the school pursues “disciplinary actions.”
NYU appears to be adopting the tack of many universities in trying to shut down any protests against Israel’s war on Gaza.

The image shows a scene on a white countertop. On the left, there is a glass filled with a red beverage, likely a craft beer, placed on a black coaster with the text "SPOUR UN" and a logo. The glass is a goblet-style glass, commonly used for serving craft beers. On the right, there is an e-reader displaying the cover of a book titled "Welcome to Paradise" by Ryk Brown, part of the Prodigies Saga series, specifically Episode 14. The e-reader is a Kobo device, identifiable by its logo at the bottom. In the background, there is a blue plastic tray with several empty glasses, suggesting a bar or pub setting. The overall scene suggests a relaxed environment, possibly at a brewery or a bar where one can enjoy a drink while reading.

Il testo descrive una situazione politica in cui un'iniziativa si è posta in contrapposizione alla mozione presentata da Giuseppe Conte il giorno precedente. Questa mozione era stata aderita anche dalla segretaria Elly Schlein. L'intervento di Fassino ha rivela la cifra culturale dell'evento, definendola "un sionista di sinistra" e affermando che la soluzione dei due Stati è "al momento impraticabile". Inoltre, ha giustificato le vittime civili palestinesi come "conseguenze fatali" della collocazione delle strutture di Hamas in aree densamente popolate.

L'immagine mostra un articolo di giornale con il titolo "Fassino? Ad ammazzarlo non si fa peccato. La folle frase di un consigliere Pd a Cagliari". L'articolo è scritto da Oscar Serra e data il 16 Maggio 2025, aggiornato alle 20:09, con una durata di lettura di 2 minuti. Il testo descrive un post su Facebook di un consigliere del Partito Democratico (Pd) a Cagliari, che ha suscitato reazioni forti. Il consigliere ha rivendicato il suo rispetto incondizionato per la vita umana, a prescindere dalla nazionalità, dal credo o dal ruolo politico. L'articolo menziona che il post ha fatto il giro delle chat in poche ore, ma il consigliere ha poi chiesto scusa. L'immagine accanto al testo mostra un uomo in giacca e cravatta, che sembra essere il consigliere in questione, mentre parla con le mani in movimento. Sullo sfondo si intravede un banner con le parole "LOPA DON".

High-Ranking Diplomat Found Dead Days After Being Arrested on Suspicion of Spying
I've written a blog post about how Amazon S3 security demonstrates limitations of LLMs in cloud security. This mastodon post acts as an anchor for comments on the blog post.
The gist of it is this: Amazon S3 has encrypted objects at rest automatically, by default since January 2023. Not only is there nothing for you to do to make your objects encrypted, you can't stop objects from being encrypted. All you can do is choose keys. 17 years of blog posts and documentation saying you must DO something to encrypt your data at rest means that LLMs will give you incorrect instructions on S3 security. Probably forever.
It reiterates my point: You can't use an LLM to do something that you don't know how to do without the LLM.

Ask an LLM for any information on how to do security in Amazon S3, and you’ll get a bunch of crap. There just happens to be this one change to how S3 works that shows clearly the effect of frequency on LLM training data.blog.paco.to

Ora devo solo trovare un'idea per il fine settimana di Pentecoste (7-9 giugno).
Io e il mio compagno vorremmo fare una breve vacanza, indifferente dove (CH o IT) ma non abbiamo molte idee. Considerato che:
- abbiamo un budget ridotto
- lui sabato lavora fino alle 15:00 in zona Lugano
- Lunedì dovremmo essere di ritorno per le 18:00
- vorremo evitare km di coda al Gottardo/dogane
- io vorrei visitare una città, qualcosa di storico o culturale
- lui preferirebbe relax tipo SPA.
Avete dei suggerimenti?
Vacanze separate? 😁😁😁
Oppure, tu a spasso per Firenze e lui alla Grotta Giusti dalle parti di Pistoia (un'oretta d'auto) oppure al centro benessere Asmana (nelle immediate vicinanze di Firenze).
Belle idee, ma Firenze è un po' fuori mano visto che non abbiamo tanto tempo a disposizione.

The image shows a white label attached to a gray surface, likely part of an electrical enclosure. The label is a Square D by Schneider Electric Cabinet Front, with the issue number MO S01 and a mains rating of 240V. The label includes a warning about the hazard of electric shock and advises following instructions for safety.
The label has a table with columns for numbers, room names, and circuit descriptions. The numbers range from 1 to 20, with handwritten notes in some cells. For example, cell 1 lists "2ND FIR Bath," cell 2 "BEDROOM/El139," and cell 3 "3rd FL Rec." The label also includes a UL listing mark and a note indicating it is made in the USA.
The label is designed to help identify the circuits and their corresponding rooms or devices within the electrical system.
