  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@davidculley/117067451008208893 If you see a Palestinian who doesn't have the checkmark next to their #GazaVerified link, please help them like I did. In most cases I've seen, they created a new account and are now posting from the new account. That new account of course isn't the one that was verified by the #GazaVerified team, so there won't be a checkmark even if the Palestinian links to their #GazaVerified page. It's too much work for the #Gaza...

  RE: https://mastodon.wolkenheim.eu/@Wolkensteine/117047292267348881 If your company literally forms an alliance with Palantir and IBM (to name just two companies literally enabling genocide), then fuck your company. And fuck the centrist takes, "They're the industry leaders, we have no other choice, our company would go bankrupt otherwise, in the current economic environment you can't be picky regarding your business partners." I unfortunately heard them all in my professiona...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@gaza_verified_campaigns/117044166140550721 About 200 of the roughly 300 #GazaVerified families aren't receiving even just the bare minimum to live in Gaza. 😔💔 The minimum was determined to be $200 a week based on the cost of basic food on the market such as lentils. $200/week are about $28.57 a day, per family. Many families have more than 3 children and elderly parents to support. The determined minimum comes down to maybe $5 per person a day, which barely co...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@kkarhan/117037798754874969 You could simply mute or even block the Palestinians who are crying out for help if they annoy you that much and you have so little empathy with genocide victims being eradicated by a terroristic Israeli regime—look up Meir Kahane and Kahanism—and the help of a colonialist US empire. But *reporting* them to the instance moderators, with the purpose of them being digitally erased, is fucking low. One could argue this is complicity in genoc...

  Bayer, the German chemicals/pharma corporation probably best known for its anti-headache pills Aspirin, is in all likelihood providing Israel with Glyphosate and white phosphorus: biocides for forbidden chemical warfare. Israel neither denies nor confirms it, but we all know what that means. But Bayer also bought Monsanto in 2016 for 66 billion USD: the same Monsanto that made the Agent Orange pesticides/biocides that was heavily used in the Vietnam War to "deforest" the vast Vietnam...

  Tilo Jung, a German podcaster, is currently in Palestine and interviews Palestinians and Israelis. Here's an English interview with an Israeli settler and columnist for The Jerusalem Post who lives in the occupied West Bank since 1981 who is so brainwashed with zionist propaganda that he isn't abhorred by the unhinged things he says so openly and shamelessly: "We [jews] don't want to be oppressed, and we try, as much as possible, not to be oppressors." Then he laments th...

  RE: https://todon.eu/@tkkg_kiel/117029564601971660 TKMS (ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems) in Kiel, Germany, is building the ships and submarines for Israel. The same ships that Israel uses to stop Greta Thunberg and the Global Sumud Flotilla, and to commit piracy on international waters. Some German activists are blocking the entrance to TKMS since 4:30 AM today. You can see the blue light of the police cars. #Germany #Israel #genocide

  RE: https://mastodon.world/@paninid/116993444042989991 No, this level of *desperate cries for help during a live-streamed genocide* does not happen on any other social media platform. Because every other social media platform (Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, …) is complicit in genocide and has long deleted every account belonging to Palestinians. The Fediverse is the only/last remaining place on the internet where genocide victims aren't silenced and digitally erased. And you guys cut even...

  If you see someone wearing "smart glasses", they'd surely appreciate a compliment on their new glasses. They might even let you take a closer look, or even try them on, if you ask them. It's such cool technology after all. But be sure not to accidentally immediately drop the glasses and stomp on them because that would be very much a shame. You wouldn't want that to happen.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Layan2002/116985986931989177 Layan's mother has a cyst on her ovary that is at least 1 cm in diameter. Untreated cysts can burst and make a woman barren. Which is just one of the risks. But not only can she not afford the treatment, she's $250 in debt and cannot even afford food. With a donation you can help a suffering woman with not having a ticking timebomb inside her belly. And provide her family with some food after three days without a donation. Fi...

  RE: https://scholar.social/@gedankenstuecke/116972420410253859 The AI bros don't understand collectives. Codeberg's decision to not tolerate LLM slop wasn't a top-down decision made by some CEO/dictator. Codeberg is a collective and anyone can become a member with voting rights. The members voted democratically, and about 70% of the members were in favor of not tolerating LLM slop. This decision is the will of the majority. It's the democratic will of the collective.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@eslam94/116959751970969536 Tareq is forced by poverty to sell his phone, the only remaining thing he owns. How is he supposed to communicate with the world without a phone? How is he supposed to ask for help without a phone? Without a phone, he will be forced to pay 40–50% fees for cash withdrawal. Even less money than now will reach him. Let's prevent that he'll be forced to sell his phone and buy it back later at a high price. He is #GazaVerified by @g...

  RE: https://eupolicy.social/@edri/116951505765828612 Just three weeks ago, I wrote about how it is now *illegal* to send personal data from the EU to the USA (even if it's not yet in effect), now that the USA made any independence from the US president unconstitutional. ⬇️🧵 The EU Commission knows this. Yet the EU Commission can't be stopped from selling out Europeans and their personal data to the USA. In exchange for keeping the exemption that spares Europeans from having to request...

  RE: https://ieji.de/@DiaaMahmoud097/116935477331159944 The person who managed @DiaaMahmoud097@ieji.de's fund just "ran away with the money" and is now unreachable. 🤬 It continues to disgust me that some humans stoop so low as to literally steal from genocide victims. That is what they did. Imagine walking up to Anne Frank or a jew in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942, and robbing them. That is literally Nazi behavior. If you know someone you trust or perhaps think you could manage the...

  I keep reading about Corsi–Rosenthal boxes as DIY air purifiers that outperform all commercially available air purifiers. You literally only duct-tape four HVAC filters together and slap any regular PC fan onto them. US-Americans recommend the brand #Filtrete for MERV-rated HVAC filters, but in Europe that brand costs at least twice or thrice as much as in the USA. Are there any equivalent affordable HVAC filters in Europe with a MERV rating of 8 or 13? Or do I simply have to swallow the addi...

  RE: https://eupolicy.social/@edri/116951508393558972 Do not travel to the USA. Not for work, not for a conference, not for a vacation, not for a festival, not for your son's college graduation, not for your daughter's wedding. It's not worth getting "detained" (getting locked away in a concentration camp). Do not travel to the USA.

  RE: https://manganiello.eu/objects/05af79b6-90ae-41e0-8fcf-1b5c0ef235fb Palestinians don't want to ask for money. They want to work and make their own money. But in Gaza, during genocide, during apartheid, that's hardly possible. I'm glad that Nada found work, even though it's unpaid in the beginning. You can support her through the unpaid phase until she makes her own money. Find the link to her fundraiser in her profile. #genocide #palestine #gaza

  RE: https://manganiello.eu/objects/18e2723e-ddb3-449e-ad71-cf18b2046af5 Nada, a victim of genocide, has a serious illness. She often suffers in silence because Palestinians tend to hesitate to ask for help unless they truly have no other choice. If you have a few dollars to spare, I would be grateful if you could support her in financing her medical treatment. She is #GazaVerified by @gazaverified@mastodon.ar.al and I personally vouch for her. #genocide #gaza #palestine

  Your LG TV records all sounds in your room with a built-in microphone. And if any of your guests decides to sue LG because of eavesdropping to private conversations and recording them against their knowledge/wishes, then LG asserts that your guest needs to sue *you*. Because you failed to inform your guest about LG's surveillance. LG absolves itself from all misdemeanor. https://hachyderm.io/@jalefkowit/116944093949808161 #surveillance #capitalism

In a specially protected breeding ground for flamingos, turtles, and such animals. And the Albanian Prime Minister is selling out the country to the rich. He removed all the environment protection zones so that Kushner can build. The New York Times does great reporting on this, although I dislike the New York Times as a whole....

  Fuck Palantir. German public broadcasting did a podcast series called "Inside Palantir" where they interviewed an ex-employee of Palantir and whistleblower. The whistleblower said that when you apply at #Palantir, you are asked: "How comfortable are you to work on software that is used to kill people?" I simply refuse to believe that anyone (including an utterly naive twenty-something who freshly graduated from college and never reads any newspaper) could accidentally slid...
