Fun Fact: My smartphone is turned off 95% of the time or so. I only turn it on when I have a specific need for a specific function. The overwhelming vast majority of my activities are on desktop systems, using native code or browsers where the invasive permissions of common mobile apps are generally not present. REMEMBER: The reason so many websites push you to use their mobile apps is that the iOS and Android permission environments provide vastly more opportunities for the collection of your personal data.

“Israeli attacks have killed dozens of people in Gaza, including children, Palestinian health officials reported, as the region is gripped by food shortages and fears of famine.

The attacks were launched hours after the UN general assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza.”

A nice interview together with Hélène about our published paper on mammal diversification by l'École Normale Supérieure. https://www.ens.psl.eu/actualites/la-diversification-des-mammiferes-s-est-acceleree-bien-avant-l-extinction-des-dinosaures
La diversification des mammifères s’est accélérée bien avant l’extinction des dinosaures | ENS

Jusqu’à il y a peu, les paléontologues estimaient que les mammifères n’étaient devenus prospères que suite à l’extinction massive des dinosaures, il y a 66 millions d’années. Cet événement aurait ainsi déclenché la diversification des espèces de mammifères.

300,000 innocents murdered by Israel, mostly women and children. The most documented genocide in history and those that pay for it cannot at least condemn. The same that wonder how the holocaust happened. https://www.democracynow.org/2024/9/10/ralph_nader_gaza_death_toll
“A Horrifying Undercount”: Ralph Nader Says True Gaza Death Toll Could Be Many Times Higher

Former presidential candidate and celebrated consumer advocate Ralph Nader discusses Israel’s war on Gaza, the U.S. presidential election and more. Nader’s latest article, “Exposing the Gaza Death Undercount,” can be read in the Capitol Hill Citizen, which he also founded. The official death toll in Gaza has been suspended at around 40,000 for months, as Israel’s devastation of the territory makes it increasingly difficult to properly recover and identify the dead. Nader says that the true cost in Palestinian lives could already be “well over 300,000,” and that “if the true count was known, it would devastate the mythology that the Biden administration and Congress are furthering, that the Israeli government does not purposely target civilian populations.”
