Lidia Stepanivna says she fell several times during her journey and slept on the ground, but adds: "I survived that war [Second World War], and I am surviving this war."

Randahl FinkVladimir Putin receives more than 75 percent of the vote and wins another term as president of Russia.
Yes, I am writing this four days in advance, just so I can boost it later to illustrate how predictable rigged Russian elections are.

M.S. Bellows, Jr.Short 🧵: I've been very critical of Biden's over-the-top support for Israel recently, but I'm starting to suspect he's playing a longer game than anyone realizes. Some incredibly important, hopeful signs are embedded in his (superficially pro-Israel) op-ed today: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/18/joe-biden-gaza-hamas-putin/

Craig GroeschelCan you imagine if we let public health do computer security?
"Your computer needs to get lots of viruses in order not to get lots of viruses."
"Let this malicious code rewrite your operating system, and your computer will be better."
"Everyone's computer is going to get cracked. Just let it happen."
"Stop living in fear of ransomware. Your computer has to connect to the Internet."
"Most hard drive reformats are mild."

🇳🇱You ever wonder why the small band of spectrum we can see (called visible light) is special? I mean almost all animals see in light ranges are are somewhere around here. I mean sure some can see a little farther into IR or UV but in general all animals see roughly around this same narrow band of frequencies in an otherwise infinite spectrum... So what is so special?
Its actually a quantum thing. Everything roughly around visible light and higher interacts with material by electrons jumping energy levels. However IR energy is absorbed by the bonds between molecules instead, which is why IR represents heat.
Basically visible light is right where these two modes intersect. Essentially they are the lowest energy part of the spectrum that is still high enough energy to interact primarily through changing energy levels of electrons. Essentially any more energy and it wont really get through the atmosphere as extreme UV is cut off.. any lower and it wouldnt be very effecieient cause most of the energy goes to heating the eye rather than seeing... So its right in that sweet spot.
ChrisO_wiki1/ More details have emerged of a recent sabotage attack at Chkalovsky Air Base in the Moscow region. Although some attributed it to Ukraine, a Russian aircraft technician is said to have carried it out in protest against the war, using improvised explosive devices.
Mastodon MigrationSo, this surveillance capitalism thing is totally out of hand. Today @protonmail had a great explainer (https://mastodon.social/@protonmail/111165171600485248) on the mind bending evil Google is up to with it's new "privacy features". But pretty much every tech company is now in the business of profiling you and monetizing your tidbits.
What can you do? A lot as it turns out, but if you just want ONE EASY THING that you can do today, SWITCH TO FIREFOX (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) and make DuckDuckGo your default search engine.
