Women, so demanding. First, they want to vote (achieved in 1916). Then they get elected (achieved in 1919). And then they want somewhere to pee (we're waiting on that one).
The government is moving forward with a housing plan that aims to displace thousands of Palestinians from Bedouin communities in the E1 area.

Rude @cstross tried to sit on my chair! I was here first.
The trick to avoid duplicating everything: the relay keeps one shared copy of incoming activities, and each device tracks where it is in it on its own. Nothing is lost when a device comes back online. Actions done on one device (likes, follows, posts...) sync to the others through the relay. When a device replies to an activity, it checks first that another one didn't already handle it, to avoid doubles or conflicts.

The relay only knows each device by a generated ID and a name. It relays activities but doesn't hold your keys or followers. When signing in on a new device, the app will offer to scan a QR code from the first one to share the account key, with safeguards against ending up with the same account but new keys and no data. It will be possible to see which devices are attached and online, with options to rename or revoke. Work on the relay side is complete, the app side is nearly there.

Slow Down
Why, in our affluent society, do so many people live in poverty, without access to health care, working multiple jobs and are nevertheless unable to make ends meet, with no future prospects, while the planet is burning?
In his international bestseller, Kohei Saito argues that while unfettered capitalism is often blamed for inequality and climate change, subsequent calls for “sustainable growth” and a “Green New Deal” are a dangerous compromise. Capitalism creates artificial scarcity by pursuing profit based on the value of products rather than their usefulness and by putting perpetual growth above all else. It is therefore impossible to reverse climate change in a capitalist society—more: the system that caused the problem in the first place cannot be an integral part of the solution.
Instead, Saito advocates for degrowth and deceleration, which he conceives as the slowing of economic activity through the democratic reform of labor and production. In practical terms, he argues for:
By returning to a system of social ownership, he argues, we can restore abundance and focus on those activities that are essential for human life, effectively reversing climate change and saving the planet.

Half-Earth Socialism
Over the next generation, humanity will confront a dystopian future of climate disaster and mass extinction. Yet the only ‘solutions’ on offer are toothless cap-and-trade programmes, catastrophic geoengineering schemes, and privatized conservation, which will do nothing to reverse the damage suffered by the biosphere. Indeed, these mainstream approaches assume that hyper-consumerism in the Global North can continue unabated. It can’t.
What we can do, environmental scholars Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass argue, is strive for a society able to ensure high living standards while stabilizing the environment: Half-Earth socialism. This means:
• Rewilding half the earth to absorb carbon emissions and restore biodiversity • A rapid transition to renewable energy, paired with drastic cuts in consumption by the world’s wealthiest • Global veganism to cut down on energy and land use • Worldwide socialist planning to efficiently and equitably manage production • The involvement of everyone—even you!
As this thrilling and provocative book makes clear, we must humbly accept that humanity cannot fully understand or control the earth—but we can plan new energy systems, large-scale rewilding, and food production for the common good.

III. The differences between machine and organismic function can be explained through the dynamic organization of a self-manufacturing cell or organism, which stands in stark contrast to the static architecture/blueprint of a machine. The fact that all the essential processes in a living system collectively co-constitute each other, renders their functional capacities open-ended, while machines (by design) come with (potentially large but) precisely defined spaces of possible behaviors. /4
In conclusion: assuming that the Ship of Theseus (a perfectly valid philosophical argument) and the substitution thought experiment (for either the brain or our whole body) are analogous is a logical fallacy. More precisely, it is a category error. We are comparing apples with oranges, and the idea that we can simply swap organic components for machine parts does not hold up to closer scrutiny.
Computationalism is not backed by evidence, but it is also not backed by logical reasoning. /5

Face à la montée du fascisme et du libéralisme autoritaire en Europe et ailleurs, le livre est un objet politique d'émancipation pour résister aux discours mensongers, au confusionnisme et à l'illusionnisme qui voudraient nous faire croire que la guerre, le génocide, la pollution, la pauvreté et la haine sont normaux. Non, peut-être ?

On iOS and macOS, WhatsApp stores chat databases unencrypted in an app group container accessible to apps from the same developer. So all Meta apps on the same iPhone (e.g., Facebook) can read WA chats in plaintext without permission, and users wouldn't be notified.
This is a demo we prepared recently to show a macOS bug that allowed unrestricted access to protected app containers. WhatsApp stores data at rest without encryption.
@mysk Interesting exchange on, dare I say it, X: 🧵
This is misleading. While it is true that WhatsApp's database is not encrypted on the device, it is stored in a secure container that only the app can access. If there are system-level exploits that allow another app or process to access its contents, it is up to the operating system to fix them.
The claim that other Meta apps can access the WhatsApp database is incorrect. The database is in a shared container to enable WhatsApp to easily migrate data to WhatsApp Business. Other Meta apps, such as Facebook and Instagram, cannot access this container.
Specifically, containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:@"http://group.net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.shared" returns NULL if called from Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Edits, and other Meta apps. Only WhatsApp Business can access that container to migrate data to WhatsApp Messenger. Similarly, WhatsApp cannot access the containers of other Meta apps, such as those of Facebook (http://group.com.facebook.Facebook) and Instagram (http://group.com.burbn.instagram). However, Edits can access Instagram's shared container.
As a result, WhatsApp's data is isolated within its own app group container. Cross-app access is not possible under normal system permissions

The way to ensure the cost effectiveness of the designs is to use the "human" aided design approach, i.e., the use of human intelligence and manual interfacing to help the heuristic algorithm and the associated software tools produce cost-effective network topological designs.
The goodness of an algorithm or software tool cannot be measured in absolute terms. They should be judged by comparing with others in terms of human effort and the cost effectiveness of the final design.
