The two hardest problems in Computer Science are
1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

This horror demands answers:
1. How did these Palestinians die?
2. When did they die?
3. Were they shackled before or after they died?
4. If before, why were they not given medical attention as international human rights law requires?
5. If after, for what purpose? Why mutilate a corpse?
6. Why were they denied their names, and instead given numbers like the Nazis did to Jewish victims of the Holocaust?
7. Who ordered these atrocities?
8. Who acted upon these orders?
The ICC MUST investigate.

NEW | Instagram has removed the verified account of Gaza slain journalist Saleh al-Jafarawi, who had 4.5 million followers.
Archived snapshots of his page on the Wayback Machine, the largest public internet archive, also appear to have been wiped or disabled, raising concerns about digital erasure of Palestinian documentation.
Al-Jafarawi, known for his frontline reporting on the Gaza genocide, had previously faced repeated censorship. He was killed yesterday by an armed group collaborating with Israel.
Observers warn that these developments may signal āa new phase in efforts to erase evidence of Israeli war crimes from the internet.ā
I donāt think #Framework understands that they _are_ a political brand. They donāt have the best products, and they donāt have the cheapest products. They have products that appeal to _political positions_. By trying to keep āpoliticsā out of their decisions, what theyāre saying is that the **literal only selling point** of their machines is no longer valid.
Itās incredibly sad to see, because I was a fan of Framework until I saw this atrocious response.

We support open source software (and hardware), and partner with developers and maintainers across the ecosystem. We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win. We donāt partner based on individualsā or organizationsā beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software. Weāve sent out large quantities of hardware to folks at Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Omarchy,...
Spoke to a scientist friend today and asked him about Trumpās anti-science campaign & his attacks on universities?
He replied, I donāt think Americans realize that even if we somehow stopped Trump now, heās already set the USA back at least 20-30 years in scientific research. And given he still has 3 more years, we may not recover from this for half a century or more.
