“People want software that is fast, modern, but also honest about what it does.” No, you muppet, people want tools that do what they need, not do crap they don’t want and be honest about it. If someone tells you they’re a gardener, they should tend your garden, not piss in your face while telling you “I’m pissing in your face. If you don’t want me to piss in your face, you can opt out. Tomorrow, I’ll come back and piss in your face again unless you opt out.” If that’s what they’re doing, they’re not a gardener, they’re someone who pisses in your face. #mozilla #firefox #AI #pissingInYourFace
The murder of 15 people at Bondi Beach was a vile antisemitic attack and is rightfully being condemned. Meanwhile, at least 14 people died in Gaza in the last 24 hours in a storm because they’re being forced to live in inhumane conditions by Israel. Where is the international outrage and condemnation? Meanwhile, Israel has murdered ~400 Palestinians since the “ceasefire” was announced on October 10. That’s roughly one Bondi Beach every three days. Where is the international outrage and condemnation? Meanwhile, Israel was murdering roughly 250 Palestinians a day during the height of its ongoing genocide. That’s 16 Bondi Beaches every day. Where is the international outrage and condemnation? Every life is precious, yes. But it seems some lives are far more precious than others for people in the West. The blame for the horrific and antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach lies solely with the perpetrators. However, no one can deny that Israel and Zionists are making Jewish people everywhere less safe by conflating support of Israel and the settler-colonial and genocidal ideology of Zionism with being Jewish, and going so far as to call those who oppose Israel’s genocide and Zionism – many of them Jews – “antisemitic.” Stopping Israel and its genocide of the Palestinian people is not just the morally correct thing to do but it is the best thing the world could do to protect Jews everywhere from those who would perpetuate the great antisemitic conflation of being Jewish with support for settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide. That is, of course, if our so-called world leaders, who are quick to arm and support Israel’s genocide, actually care about the welfare of Jewish people instead of sharing in the spoils of genocide. #BondiBeach #BondiBeachAttack #Australia #antisemitism #israel #genocide #settlerColonialism #ethnicCleansing #apartheid #Gaza #Palestine
“How did it feel for the man who built a home, only to watch it turn to the rubble? How does a farmer stand before the land he tended year after year, now lying barren—no scent of soil, no whisper of harvest? How does a father tell his son the school he loved is gone, that the garden where he played is now only a rumor in the rubble? How does a mother walk through the ghost of a playground, finding a small shoe, a torn notebook, a toy she once mended? How do neighbors look at one another, wordless, knowing the world they shared has vanished? … I stood among the ruins, breath caught in my chest, searching for any trace of what once was. I felt the ache in every stone, every corner, every fragment of memory. But beneath it, I sensed something small and unbroken: my own heart, still beating. And a faint, stubborn light—a quiet voice within: I am still here. I can still walk. I can still love this life, despite everything. … I am Aseel, a writer from Gaza, living amid genocide and famine. Your support can help my family survive. @npub1a9z0...zedp, #AseelSehwel #Gaza #Palestine #author #witness #survivor #israel #genocide
I’ve spoken with my boss (he’s a bit of a dickhead but his heart’s in the right place) and confirmed that I won’t be getting fired for opposing Israel’s ongoing genocide and supporting the human rights of the Palestinian people to live with freedom and dignity like the rest of us but not everyone is as lucky. #israel #zionism #genocide #settlerColonialism #apartheid #ethnicCleansing #smearCampaigns #canada #complicity #censorship #humanRights #Gaza #Palestine #StopIsrael #FreePalestine
