"Not only would Google be unable to fully monitor or prevent Israel from using its software to harm Palestinians, but the report also notes that the contract could obligate Google to stonewall criminal investigations by other nations into Israel’s use of its technology. And it would require close collaboration with the Israeli security establishment — including joint drills and intelligence sharing — that was unprecedented in Google’s deals with other nations."

Gaza’s healthcare system is facing total collapse amid the ongoing genocide launched by ISR since October 2023, under a suffocating siege and relentless airstrikes that have targeted civilians, infrastructure, and medical facilities.
The Ministry of Health in #gaza has warned: hospitals are now incapable of delivering the most basic care due to a severe shortage of medical equipment and supplies.

A UN-backed assessment says Gaza’s population of around 2.1 million Palestinians is at “critical risk” of famine and faces “extreme levels of food insecurity” as an Israeli blockade on humanitarian aid continues. The latest report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification says there has been a “major deterioration” since October [...]

[TRAILER] "Il Baracchino" - Nicolò Cuccì, Salvo Di Paola
Lo spettacolo deve continuare. Il Baracchino va in scena dal 3 giugno su Prime Video
Il Baracchino era un tempio della comicità. Ora cade a pezzi, e il proprietario disilluso Maurizio (Lillo Petrolo) è pronto a mollare. Ma l'idealista aspirante art-director Claudia (Pilar Fogliati) ha un piano: rilanciare il locale con una serata Open Mic e un cast di comici improbabili. Ci sono il piccione tabagista Luca (Luca Ravenna), il genio boomer Leonardo Da Vinci (Edoardo Ferrario), l'alieno undercover John Lumano (Daniele Tinti), il Tristo Mietitore Marco Morte (Stefano Rapone), la ciambella dal retrogusto amaro Noemi (Michela Giraud) e il triceratopo eco-ansioso Tricerita (Yoko Yamada). Insieme al tuttofare Gerri (Salvo Di Paola), all'ex comico sornione Larry Tucano (Pietro Sermonti) e alla ciambella dal cuore tenero Donato (Frank Matano), Claudia tenta l'impresa impossibile: riportare il Baracchino ai suoi giorni migliori.

Attention Beige Party-goers!
Polls are fixed! I've been getting reports since mid March about an issue with polls not recording all votes. After digging around in the database a bit I found that polls with more than four options would only record local votes. I submitted this as a bug in GitHub, but of course it turned out to be a result of me having no idea what I'm doing.
Around the same time this started happening, I moved the sidekiq processes off to their own server. On the web server I had increased the max poll options to allow more than four poll options, but I hadn't done it for the sidekiq server. The result being that we could create polls with more than four options through the UI, but sidekiq was only set to accept four options. Since sidekiq handles communication between instances, that meant that the local votes got recorded but remote votes got dropped.
I made the fix on the sidekiq server and created a new poll this morning with more than four options, and it is now correctly recording both local and remote votes.
You can read a more detailed explanation of what was going on here:
github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…
Thanks to those who kept bringing this issue to my attention. At first it was a hard bug to pin down, but once I was able to actually see it happening in the database I could at least ask enough dumb questions to point the finger right back at me.
As always, thank you for bearing with me, and Beige-bless

Semiconductor Simulator Lets Your Play IC Designer
For circuit simulation, we have always been enthralled with the Falstad simulator which is a simple, Spice-like simulator that runs in the browser. [Brandon] has a simulator, too, but it simulates semiconductor devices. With help from [Paul Falstad], that simulator also runs in the browser.
This simulator takes a little thinking and lets you build devices as you might on an IC die. The key is to use the dropdown that initially says “Interact” to select a tool. Then, the drop-down below lets you select what you are drawing, which can be a voltage source, metal, or various materials you find in semiconductor devices, like n-type or a dielectric.
It is a bit tricky, but if you check out the examples first (like this diode), it gets easier. The main page has many examples. You can even build up entire subsystems like a ring oscillator or a DRAM cell.
Designing at this level has its own quirks. For example, in the real world, you think of resistors as something you can use with great precision, and capacitors are often “sloppy.” On an IC substrate, resistors are often the sloppy component. While capacitor values might not be exact, it is very easy to get an extremely precise ratio of two capacitors because the plate size is tightly controlled. This leads to a different mindset than you are used to when designing with discrete components.
Of course, this is just a simulation, so everything can be perfect. If, for some reason, you don’t know about the Falstad simulator, check it out now.
