Palestine is the area inhabited continuously for ~4000 years by indigenous Palestinians.

They comprised 90% of the popn when, in 1917, imperial Britain decided - without consulting them - to hand over much of their land to immigrant Jews from Europe.

The sovereign rights of indigenous Palestinians were ignored. And still are.

Sound familiar? US, Can, Aus, NZ, etc.

I donโ€™t know what was worse, Stack Overflowโ€™s moderation system, which many IT communities find annoying, or AI killing the site ๐Ÿค” Both extremes seem bad for the open webโ€ฆ. I still think that we donโ€™t need three chatbots controlling everything. I fear Wikipedia might be next. This is not good for the Internet

Defending the public's right to know

by pavel | May 12, 2026 This post is part of a spotlight series on the organizations defending the free internet. Internet freedom has declined for 15 consecutive years. Beyond surveillance, the erosion of privacy and anonymity, and information manipulation, governments are targeting specific sites and services, or attacking infrastructure itself, causing shutdowns and deliberate disruptions for internet users. But how do we know when the internet is censored and how? OONI, the Open...

The landfill disasters that happened in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand in the past few months are not simply accidents. They are the inevitable result of weak policies that prioritize corporate profit over the well-being of the people.

Imagine being a scientist, and being told that your mere presence in a facility would alter the crystals being grown, that no joke you cannot step foot inside:

Scientists who had been exposed to Form II in the past seemingly contaminated entire manufacturing plants by their presence, probably because they carried over microscopic seed crystals of the new polymorph

Fact, not fiction!

In materials science, a disappearing polymorph is a form of a crystal structure (a morph) that is suddenly unable to be produced, instead transforming into a different crystal structure with the same chemical composition (a polymorph) during nucleation

and points for being airborne!

In a few cases, such as progesterone and paroxetine hydrochloride, the disappearance gradually spread across the world, and it is suspected that it is because Earth's atmosphere has over time become permeated with tiny seed crystals
