Hallo! Wir sind nun endlich auch hier angekommen und werden künftig über Veranstaltungen, Aktionen und unsere Arbeit informieren. :-)

@alicemcalicepants Aw!

so, instead of the exponential branching approach that jarek duda feared would be necessary to optimize compression (see https://circumstances.run/@hipsterelectron/117199544287622811), we actually have this totally distinct methodology where we build up symbol runs of length k and use that to infer the (k - 1)th derivative

Lieber @ErikUden, das sehe ich anders.

Klar bedeutet „Intifada“ erstmal nur „Volksaufstand“.
Aber der Kontext, der 1. und 2. Intifada als Reaktion auf die Nakba sowie die sog. 3. Intifada unter die auch der 7.Okt 2023 subsummiert wird, zeigt dass hier auch übelst menschenfeindliche Terrorangriffe drunter fallen.
Terror gegen Zivilist*innen als legitime Verteidigung zu framen und dazu aufzurufen (Yalla, yalla) halte ich auch für eine Gewaltverherrlichung.

"Agribusiness remains the primary driver of invasions of Indigenous lands in Brazil. Cattle ranching accounts for more than half of the total area of Indigenous lands invaded by the sector, followed by soy production, revealing the direct link between the international commodities trade, deforestation, and human rights violations.

APIB warns that pressure on these territories is not limited to the Amazon. The displacement of deforestation and the expansion of the agricultural frontier into other biomes – such as the Cerrado, Pantanal, Pampa, and Caatinga – is already a reality. The Cerrado, for example, has experienced accelerated deforestation precisely due to increased pressure on the Amazon.

This dynamic intensifies territorial conflicts, escalates violence, and deepens the vulnerability of indigenous peoples living in regions historically affected by the expansion of soy, livestock, mining, and large-scale infrastructure projects.

Tracking deforestation alone is not sufficient. Mechanisms must also ensure the identification and accountability of companies involved in illegal activities and crimes such as human rights violations, forced displacement of communities, violence against Indigenous leaders, territorial invasions, precarious labor conditions, pesticide contamination, and the destruction of ways of life—across all areas of origin and in all biomes, without exception.

There is no climate justice without the full protection of Indigenous territories. There is no sustainable development when peoples are sacrificed in the name of profit. The rights of Indigenous peoples are not bargaining chips in trade negotiations and commercial operations."

#DHS plans to launch “voter fraud” investigation surge Tuesday, acc/to internal federal guidance reviewed by CNN.

DHS Secy #MarkwayneMullin has accelerated efforts to make the department a central force in #Trump’s hunt for nonexistent widespread election fraud. DHS has pushed #states to share their voter rolls for audit & has vowed to withhold grant #funding from those that refuse to adopt a broader set of #election reforms.

Healthcare and staff misconduct are the top concerns among detainees at #ICE facility in #Aurora

54 people, including 3 children, embarked the Louise Michel yesterday evening.

Our crew found an overcrowded, unseaworthy metal boat in distress. The people on it had no life-saving equipment and insufficient fuel and food.

Following first aid and the distribution of basics like food and blankets, the Louise Michel is now en route to its designated port of safety, Valentia.

No one should have to put themselves in danger in their search for a self-determined life. Freedom of movement for all!

(side note: when jeremy spinrad gave me an extra credit assignment in freshman year to write code to solve an algorithmic problem and then analyze its runtime, the problem i chose, without knowing anything about it was compression, and i independently developed the exact prefix tree approach that everyone names after the MIT fuckboy david huffman. it's really fucking simple and obvious)

You have probably heard about the US regime's crackdown on the Italian IT collective Autistici/Inventati. Someone wrote down what it means and what can be done about it: https://www.wewillfreeus.org/the-server-called-paranoia-defend-autistici-inventati-before-september-25/ (thanks to @geertlovink and @liaizon for the link).

I first met A/I people in Florence when I attended the first European Social Forum in 2002. They provided a room full of computers with Internet access so that the grassroots press could report on the event. Great, friendly people.

Now the supposedly independent ICANN has destroyed the domain autistici.org and might do the same with https://inventati.org soon. A/I will lose their bank accounts etc. The same could happen to all of us who are not fascists. This is the time for solidarity.

Arf, c'est super moche ton année @Noxie

Des fois ça se passe bien. Mes frères l'ont tous les 2 repassés, la famille était derrière, y avait pas de trauma, et ils voyaient pas mal leurs potes au dehors, donc ça n'a rien à voir
Y en a un, ça lui a évité d'aller se paumer un an dans une école nulle (et chère)

Mais oui ça peut virer au cauchemar.
C'est pas obligé, des fois ça va.

If companies like #Google and #Apple are so easily "persuaded" to change the bullshit renames #Trump does...

..how easy do you think they will turn over personal data on us?

A US attack on a wedding ceremony in Sirik martyrs four people, including a child, as strikes also target Iran’s electricity grid in Hormozgan.

@W6KME

Yup. Just read reviews of TomTom and that looks like a minefield. Will keep searching.

Apple Maps has now caved to Trump's demand to rename Lake Ontario, another corporate surrender.
