Cheogram periodically forgets my contacts
Cheogram periodically forgets my contacts - Lemmy.World
First I wanted to give a shout out for the amazing work by the jmp.chat and cheogram teams for offering a great alternative to Google voice. Now the issue; sometimes when I open cheogram it seems to forget my contacts. So all of my existing chats just show the phone numbers. The group chats still have their names. Then the names come back later, but the problem is pretty common and renders SMS nearly impossible. Anyone else have this problem?
The next sumud flotilla is kicking off!

I am really impressed by how well organized they are and how much they have been able to accomplish so little funding. The Global March to Gaza, then the Sumud Floatila have been some great ideas for significant peaceful action. During the last flotilla and just afterward we saw: - A general strike in Italy. - Spanish and Italian war ships deployed. - Spain’s complete arms embargo is enshrined into law [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/8/spains-parliament-formally-approves-israel-arms-embargo] - Many nations recognized Palestine for the first time and reaffirmed their recognition. - Even the US, the most significant sponsor of the genocide, proposed the best peace plan of this administration and took a small but material step [https://apnews.com/article/us-qatar-security-trump-israel-hamas-de391ae9bded58bffb1f5b69777f35cf] in opposition to Israel. I’m hopeful the momentum continues and I think these people have demonstrated their trustworthiness as much as any group.
I had never heard of forensic-architecture.org before but the do some really impressive work
Quality info on the aid situation in Gaza

Really great maps and info on how the aid stations are distributed and operate. You hear that basically no aid is getting distributed, but the details of the aid stations being hours away and only open 20 minutes a day if at all really clarifies how performative and meaningless the “aid” is.
It was super easy to move to CoMaps

You can leave comment on proposed rule change until May 19. To give you ideas, my comment was: > I urge the rejection of this proposed rule. > > I think we can be very thankful for the definition of harm as currently defined. If we were talking about the human species there would be no doubt that significant degradation of our ability to feed, shelter, and produce offspring would indeed be considered harm. > > From only an economic perspective this proposed rule change is extremely counter productive. We learn an enormous amount from animals and that knowledge creates enormous economic value. > > An example is the horseshoe crab. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science estimates the value of horseshoe crabs to the medical research industry at $100M per year. In 2023, the US Fish and Wildlife Service began work to aid their reproduction and support this industry. If harm is no longer defined as a significant decline in ability to reproduce, will we be able to protect this industry? > > As our technology advances we are always learning more from animals, so we don’t know which animals will give us our next billion dollar industry. After we decimate a species, we may not get to choose if it goes extinct, and with each extinct species we inflict immense harm on current and future generations of humans.
