JUST IN: JPMorgan warns a global food supply shock could hit within the next year.

NOAA says there’s a greater than 90% chance this El Niño will be “very strong” through fall and winter.

For October through December, that chance rises to 95%.

There’s also a 69% chance it becomes historic. Stronger than every El Niño measured since 1950.

This is the next supply shock.

The domain names of
autistici.org / inventati.org (and noblogs.org) are now suspended.
.org being managed by a US entity they were forced to suspend them due to Autisti (the oldest leftwing Italian collective doing web and mail hosting) being declared a terrorist organisation by Trump

Even for WikiLeaks they didn't do that

The US are clearly a fascist state now....

And all your links to your blogs are now dead 😭🥴

(Editing so everyone knows: maybe not. They were dead a few hours ago but not anymore)
(subedit: autistici.org still dead, the other are fine for now)

This is a useful analogy: COVID was an opportunistic infection. It killed disproportionately people suffering from other pathologies, and we, collectively, struggled to attribute the deaths of COVID patients to COVID itself rather than those other pathologies. Eventually there was a sort of agreement that excess mortality is a reasonable way to measure COVID's impact.

@davidgerard @h @bryce IBM Granite? They're pushing that with statements that it's trained using only code licensed for such use, but if you dig into the JSON file disclosing the sources:

"description": "Our code pile is sourced from a combination of publicly available datasets like Github Code Clean, StarCoderdata, and additional public code repositiories and issues from Github. We filter raw data to retain a list of 116 programming languages and only keep files with permissive licenses for model training."

You guessed it, "Github Code Clean" is based on a random dataset from HuggingFace that includes code under AGPL and GPLv3 licenses:

@flyingpenguin I like "tokenbin.md"

@mathew @h @bryce fuckin EVERY TIME

Activists have been sounding the alarm about the UK's ludicrously broad 'anti-terror' legislation for many, many years.

Its routine, predictable abuse by police seems to have attracted almost no media scrutiny prior to Palestine Action - you could be forgiven for thinking it started with Labour...

#OtD 28 Aug 1936 this photograph was taken of anarchist CNT-FAI militia fighters in revolutionary Barcelona, shortly after the start of the Spanish Civil War prompted by the military coup of General Franco. This podcast is an introduction to the conflict: https://workingclasshistory.com/2020/06/17/e39-the-spanish-civil-war-an-introduction/

@stephan324ppm I usually mean what I say.

@dangillmor Rubio is a def on the side of hate and wants to see suffering become universal. I guess he’s no Christian.

Modern Dependency Problems (with apologies and thanks to XKCD)

Probably needs more arrows, tbh

@tante propose they be renamed:

doubleagents.md
tokenbin.md
sloptank.md

Raindrops On The Windscreen

3pm on a wet mid-November afternoon, and the sun sets in less than an hour. It hasn't been more than 7° above the horizon all day.

We've had a lovely day out with a guide and we're trying to hurry back to our hotel in Egilsstaðir before a storm overtakes us. We were too late.

This astonishing system hung above us, drawing moisture up from the ground. Fortunately it did no damage and we passed beneath it taking as many photos as possible!

hey gang, i know many of you use riseup and noblogs which is a service offered by autistici

the united states has issued sanctions against them and formally categorized then as terrorists:

https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/

https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/08/designation-of-autistici-inventati-as-a-specially-designated-global-terrorist/

needless to say, service providers like riseup are in their sights, if they haven't already been popped! and be sure that anybody using their services are likewise on the menu for further action. this includes any emails on those providers' infrastructure (even if you use a custom email with them - the actual email provided is public info via dns) or websites hosted by them!

be aware of this when making your moves!

- i would not recommend publicly using an email for any known provider for anything that can be associated with your name
- i would not log into any of those services unless over tor or a vpn you trust to a high degree (including ssh etc)
- i would not host websites on their infra unless directly relates to activism
- i would absolutely never use their email services for anything sensitive, incriminating, or containing personal info (tbh this applies to all email including proton and tuta). i've reviewed their encrypted email stuff and it's lacking
- absolutely never use their vpn services

So maybe launching with small-web.org and having small-tech.org is not a good idea after all…

So what are safe TLDs? Is there even such a thing? Any TLDs not controlled by the US in one form or another? Any anti-fascist TLDs.

Hey @EUCommission, maybe this is the sort of thing you should be looking into given all your “digital sovereignty”, talk, hmm? Pretty easy one to fix this one.

RE: https://legal.social/@malteengeler/117163690312550988

The US did not attack Autistici/Inventati for fighting for open communication. A/I are also advocating that, true. But the US make it very clear what this is about: It's a strike against far-left politics and anti-fascism. I sure hope the politics of this will not get buried and twisted into a cyberlibertarian narrative of "free internet" or "free speech".
