@bogo then my theory can’t be right :)
@bogo Ecuador is on the equator… I’m guessing the gps on your phone has somehow arrived at an invalid latitude value and it assumed it to be 0°. Something weird must have also happened to the longitude estimation somehow, though. Was your determined location Galapagos by any chance? That’s also Ecuador and 0°N 90°W falls in there somewhere and this longitude is also a round number, so it could have also been defaulted to…

Congress has been a place for politicized hackers from all around the world to meet, share and learn. Yet this year's #38C3 event has been lived by many of us as an awkward space of silencing and self-censoring with regards to the Palestinian genocide. We couldn't help but feel terrified at that, although not completely surprised.
It has been dreadful to once again hear discussions in which the only "argument" issued was "it's a complex situation" when trying to face the harsh reality of a 2 million people country being destroyed, blocked and bombed with barely any food or clean water, while one of the last running hospital was bombed three days before.
As an heterogeneous group of people that are part of communities that are interested, active or impacted by the struggle for liberation of the Palestinian people, we've felt necessary to start this discussion.
What follows is a series of experiences, questions and reflections that have been shared in the self-organized session "Let's talk about the not talking about Gaza" that was announced on the last day of the Congress (https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/lets-talk-about-the-not-talking-about-gaza/).
For starters, at CCC we have experienced:

Aaron Ross Powell ☸️An important aspect of last night's debate is how clearly it demonstrated that the sort of "strong masculinity" Trump embodies, and is so ideologically central to the far-right, isn't strength at all, but a blustery and belligerent cover for profound weakness.
mle✨“Being a woman in tech is insane. We do not work in the same moral system model as most of the people that we interact with daily and we can’t talk about it, because when we do, we are the ones portrayed as crazy or hysterical.”
This is such an excellent piece by @irene – you should spend a few minutes today reading it.
The Moral Implications of Being a Moderately Successful Computer Scientist and a Woman
I recently reached a few high points in my career that coincided, not coincidentally, with some of the worst harassment of my life. It made me reflect on how my career has been defined as much in terms of misogyny as technical excellence (I’ve garnered quite a CV in both), and how I have struggled t
Ele Willoughby, PhDBorn on this day: #physicist J. R. Oppenheimer (1904-1967). While best remembered for his role in the Manhattan Project, he was a giant of 20th century theoretical physics, nominated for a Nobel 3 times.
In 1927 he & Max Born greatly simplified how we predict electrons behaviour within atoms. The Born-Oppenheimer or adiabatic approximation is based on the observation that electrons are 1000s times lighter than nuclei, 🧵1/n
