“The gravity and severity of horrors they, and all Palestinians in Gaza, are facing at a scale unprecedented in the modern history of Israel and Palestine make the ICJ proceedings much needed”

🌅 Good morning.
New #research from Consumer Reports offers a rare look into the scope of Meta's online surveillance.
It goes way beyond what most may expect—Meta can know many of the websites you visit and even what you’re doing IRL.

At the Computational Humanities Research conference in Paris at the end of last year, our colleagues @mapto and Sara Sullam presented their work on exploratory visual analysis of nominal data in translation history and bibliographic archives.

In Germany they are at least talking of how bureaucracy is problematic. In Italy we just live with it, and people are used to taking it for granted. Here bureaucracy is seen as a solution to unemployment. Nobody cares it doesn't really work this way.
This is a copy from a call on ex-twitter that I consider worthy of support:
Human rights work in Israel-Palestine has never been more precarious. This #GivingTuesday, we’re asking for your help. Can you contribute to our crowdfunding campaign? https://fundrazr.com/givetoextend
Reasons to give to Extend:
Reason 1: Extend was one of the first American Jewish groups to call for a ceasefire. We continue to lobby elected officials and Jewish communal leaders to call for a permanent ceasefire that saves Palestinian and Israeli lives.
Reason 2: We’ve been building American Jewish movement for human rights in Is-Pal for 10 years. Our 1000+ alumni –rabbis, electeds, journalists, students– are leading discussions on campus, in synagogues, and in the media that hold grief for both Israelis and Palestinians. Extend alumni have also joined protests for a ceasefire, humanitarian aid into Gaza, and the release of all hostages.
With your help this #GivingTuesday we will continue raising our voices for freedom and human rights for both Palestinians and Israelis. Please give today.

Considering the growing evidence, how likely a hypothesis is that Netanyahu's extremist establishment and Hamas were colluding against the peoples of Israel and Palestine? The IDF refuses to respond... because it has been documented that its current leadership is part of the extremist establishment and is directly responsible for what appears even more to be intentionally ignoring incoming intelligence

@Gert sicuramente trovo l'idea molto valida. Secondo te, questo esempio potrebbe essere in un formatto accettabile? https://fediscience.org/@IslabUnimi/111766601426625293
È solo la tua opinione che chiedo, ma è l'opinione di qualcuno che ovviamente si interessa del tema.
Stavo considerando come questo corrisponde al requisito di informativa e consenso secondo GDPR, ma i sondaggi sono anonimi, quindi non si tratta di dati personali.
LLMs are getting better and better! Oh, wait...
It's not everyday a Big Tech company explicitly shows their users how it shares their personal data across service for targeted advertising. Even less often that it gives them the option to opt-out.
So why is this happening? 🤔

Credo sarebbe più trasparente, pulito e corretto, quando pubblichiamo un sondaggio nel #fediverso , spiegare in modo sintetico perché siamo interessati a conoscere le preferenze delle persone coinvolte, a meno che non sia un chiaro gioco o una burla.
We're Looking for fiscal sponsorship for Black Python Devs.
If you know a non-profit that would love to host funding for the fastest growing community of Black, Colored, and Coloured Pythonistas on the planet.
TLDR: We’d like to collect matchable funding and would like to not make our own Non-Profit.
@ThePSF and @opencollective's community sponsorships are currently paused.
Other orgs all seem to be too narrow or too broad in scope to support a GLOBAL community of PYTHON developers
