From Organise:

'Did you know that Arsenal's kit man was fired for posting on social media about the genocide of Palestinians?

62 year-old Mark Bonnick was sacked after 22 years of service to Arsenal football club - even though the Football Association found no breach of rules, and Arsenal's investigation found his posts were not antisemitic. [1] '

Petition at Organise. Same situation as the dismissal of the LNER guard.

In Ontario, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest highway, a vast stretch of peatlands and boreal forest is being readied for sacrifice.

They have to destroy the peatlands for the critical metals for the clean energy for the Great Green Transition. Aren't peatlands carbon sinks?

"Above those underground treasures, the world’s largest intact peatland ecosystem stores vast amounts of carbon and supports Indigenous communities that have lived there for generations."

I just wrote `pipx install libretranslate` in the terminal and now I can translate locally without an internet connection, without deepl or google or any such things.

After sending an inquiry to Proton support, I have been informed that "in order to remain efficient" they are trying "pilot programs" using LLMs to assist in coding their products.

You might want to contact Andy Yen if this choice of his affects your confidence in Proton products.

I don't often ask for boosts, but I would like this to be as visible as it can.
