The solution isn't to pivot from one proprietary platform to a different one.

It isn't even about repatriating the servers to your home country. (Although that's often a good thing!)

It's about moving to Free Software platforms that you or your community can run for yourselves!

(And yes, I'm still waiting for signalapp to release all of their backend automation/infra code!)

I love it when countries only exist in some maps
I just think that's fun

Openstreetmaps, showing Somaliland with a separate border.

Google maps, showing somaliland as a part of Somalia, without any labels or even a disputed territory line

Trump looks so silly in this picture :D

Track AIPAC poster saying "Donald Trump: $230,473,622 independent expenditures & campaign contributions received from pro-Israel interest groups." The black & white image of trump beside this text makes him look kind of solemn but also like an 8 year old in a 74 year old's body

57% of parents think using AI in the classroom will help their children prepare for a future in the workforce.

AI companies marketing this de-skilling tech as good and inevitable has been very effective.

We need to do a better job of reaching parents and showing the truth.

⚠️ Update: Metrics show #Iran remains offline as the country wakes to another day of digital darkness.

With the internet blackout now past its 132nd hour, early reports indicate thousands of casualties. The true extent of the killings is masked by the absence of connectivity.

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 5, 2025, to January 14, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains lower than normal most of the time period due to protests, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8. The drop in connectivity aligns with protests across the nation. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption.

⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been offline for 96 hours, limiting reporting and accountability over civilian deaths as Iranians protest and demand change; fixed-line internet, mobile data and calls are disabled, while other communication means are also increasingly being targeted ⌛️
