Props to @daveparrack.bsky.social for a solid take on #Bluesky vs #Threads. For me, Bluesky stands out for giving users real control and meaningful engagement. Threads feels like you’re in charge, but the feed is shaped by ads and algorithms. @bsky.app keeps it real, quality over noise!#SocialMedia

Deteriorating humanitarian conditions, combined with further displacement, will only create more security challenges for Israel. Entrenched occupation fuels armed resistance and further mobilises insurgency.
The US saw this following its 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Israel has repeatedly faced the rise of armed militant groups in response to prolonged military occupations in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank.

Did you know that...? #FreeSoftware refers to freedom, not price. Free Software is all about your freedom.
It guarantees its users the essential four freedoms. The absence of at least one of these freedoms means an application is proprietary, so non‐Free Software.

As part of starting a pinball museum, I often have to write small explanations of what we're up to. The text can be similar, but it is never the same, because the audience is never the same. I carefully shift words, phrasings, focus, and emphasis depending on whom I'm addressing.
This is the sort of thing "AI", a stochastic text extruder, cannot do. Worse, much of the work it "saves" you from is that thinking about your audience and the topic. That work builds depth and skill!

La storia dell’incredibile falla delle schede madri Asus che permetteva di installare da remoto ogni software | DDay.it
dday.it/redazione/52942/la-sto…
> DriverHub, il software di Asus che facilita l’installazione dei driver in automatico grazie ad una impostazione del bios, aveva una vulnerabilità gravissima che Asus ha corretto. Ecco la storia di come è stata scoperta.
L'immagine presenta un circuito stampato ASUS al centro, con un'apertura che sembra un foro per una chiave, simboleggiando accesso o sicurezza. A sinistra, un laptop con lo schermo acceso mostra un'icona arancione con un chip e la scritta "DriverHub," suggerendo un software per gestire driver. A destra, un simbolo di scudo arancione con una chiave di sicurezza rappresenta la protezione. In alto a destra, un'immagine di nuvola con codice binario ("01010", "011001011", "100101010", "101001001") indica la connessione cloud. L'immagine suggerisce un focus sulla sicurezza e la gestione dei driver per hardware ASUS.

There's enormous power in just putting a name on a thing. We were all vaguely aware of how various Internet-based services were getting worse over time in a way that felt sort of deliberate. But since @pluralistic coined the term "enshittification" it's so much easier to see — and, in fact, impossible to AVOID seeing.

What do human rights activists in Jerusalem, humanitarian aid workers in Gaza, and college students in New York all have in common according to Israel and its influence network? They all purportedly have links to terrorism.
Although such accusations are often baseless, they are frequently used to besmirch and undercut those who are unwilling to do Israel’s bidding.
Although this is a tactic very much on display today.
