โข Fixed regression: Since we switched the h() render function to return a generator (for seamless async support in html templates), two other methods that were calling h() directly โ `kitten.safelyAddHtml()` and `kitten.js()` โ had begun to fail. This was also affecting the fetchiverse, streamiverse, and kitten-chat family of examples.
Enjoy!

Fuck Lula. Fuck Shitlibs.
@palestine @lebanon @iran @israel @anarchy @anarchism
Given your standards & politics of bottom most expectations, if you were in Empire, I am reasonably confident you would have celebrated the ascension of NazLib/ShitLib regime if they got power instead of Nazis
As to whether Brazilians benefit from masters at the top, I wouldnt take that assessment from Shitlibs form Bazil (or) those who peddle shitlib politics
I would either get that assessment from Anarchists over there
if they indeed hold Anarchist views (rather than many who hold shitlib views but call themselves Anarchists)
I dont think any reasonable Anarchist worth their salt would consider Lula โ the agent of ruling class โ serves anyone's interests but himself, his friends at the top & some of his underlings within the hierarchy he sits on top of.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin calls U.N. โtransparently antisemiticโ after report on tech firms and Gaza
His comments came in response to a U.N. report released last month that alleged technology firms including Google and its parent company Alphabet had profited from โthe genocide carried out by Israelโ in Gaza by providing cloud and AI technologies to the Israeli government and military.
โWith all due respect, throwing around the term genocide in relation to Gaza is deeply offensive to many Jewish people who have suffered actual genocides. I would also be careful citing transparently antisemitic organizations like the UN in relation to these issues,โ Brin wrote in a forum for staff at Google DeepMind, the companyโs artificial intelligence division, where workers were debating the report, according to the screenshots.

Why I Erased 10,000 Notes, 7 Years of Ideas, and Every Thought I Tried to SaveWestenberg.
kappazeta reshared this.
When it comes to note-taking especially, I see a lot of people try and take notes on every little thing that they read, but IMHO that just leads to clutter and mixed information when one goes back to review. My personal approach is to really only take and connect notes on a second/third pass of a source, so I have a more grounded idea of what the ideas are when I note that down. That way when my ideas evolve and I go back and revise I at least have a good understanding of where I was.
One big issue I see is people saying that by taking notes down immediately (often without reading ahead, even) you have a snapshot of your state of mind at the time so you can have a "conversation with yourself", but (again IMO) if that past state of mind is full of missing context and incomplete ideas, that conversation is going to be less than useful.
TLDR: Saving every thought saves no thoughts

Let's clear this up right away. "China" didn't build shit. Thousands of Chinese workers who work for independent construction contractors did. Contractors who are privately owned businesses.

The dome was designed by an engineering firm who used the materials research of various structural materials firms, and all of this was governed by an lead construction firm.

"FMG Fabbrica Marmi and architect Paolo Gianfrancesco, of THG Arkitektar Studio, have designed the restyling of the third floor of Reykjavik's largest shopping center."

Because the role of media in the west stopped being "informing the public" ages ago (if, indeed, it had ever actually had that role). The role of media in the west is to further a narrative that is in line with what a bunch of rich assholes want you to believe: that any system that isn't the one they're milking to death is bad.

This is why, despite literally *everybody* involved in that job site being publicly-available information on Jinan's government site, the only named entity in reportage on this dome is a government agency.
