West Bank: More wounded Palestinians tell BBC the Israeli army forced them on to jeep
  • Whoops, shot in the back, beaten and strapped to a scorching jeep like some kind of human shield. Just another whoopsie by the IDF, but don't worry, they'll look into it to investigate how on earth they ended up being cruel to Palestinians.

    www.bleepingcomputer.com Dev rejects CVE severity, makes his GitHub repo read-only

    The popular open source project, 'ip' had its GitHub repository archived, or made "read-only" by its developer as a result of a dubious CVE report filed for his project. Unfortunately, open-source developers have recently been met with an uptick in debatable or outright bogus CVEs filed for their pr...

    what’s your thoughts on Linux and Windows…
  • "Free software" doesn't mean you don't pay for it, but that it respects and preserves the user's freedom. The opposite is not "cost software" but unfree software.

    What is free software?

    Most of the other points in this list are also questionable or inaccurate. In fact, I think the only true one is the first one: open source vs closed source.

    80 percent of people globally want stronger climate action by governments according to new survey | University of Oxford
  • You can't assume from people voting for one of the only two parties that can win an election, plus the fact that neither party promises adequate action on climate change, that people don't care. In a first-past-the-post system people often feel forced to vote for a party that is not their favorite and doesn't prioritize as they would like.

  • Is pixel 4a too old for a new phone?
  • Used Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 7 and 7 Pro can be found for reasonable prices these days. One of those in good condition would be a better buy because you'll still get security patches for a while. Last time I looked, the third party OSs for Pixel phones only supported them for as long as Google did.

  • See also: Bush vs Gore (though Republicans still had to cheat to win) and Bush vs Kerry. One candidate makes intelligent, considered points while the other throws out cheap bullshit soundbites. The bullshit soundbites guy wins the election every time.

  • Interesting OSS project: Holesail creates instant P2P tunnels between networks (like a VPN)
  • There's more information about the components of this system here:

    https://docs.pears.com

    There really isn't much to this Holesail project - it's a little convenience wrapper around Hyper DHT and that's a part of this Pear project it seems. That site has a list of the various components and links to each one's GitHub.

    Pear looks like an interesting project but I haven't looked through the details of how it works.

  • Drug-resistant tuberculosis leaves EU scrambling for medicines
  • Some patients are spending a year and a half in hospital isolation receiving old medicines instead of just six months of treatment at home, because countries do not have access to the most up-to-date therapies to cure people of the infectious disease.

    If it's a question of cost, then keeping someone in hospital for a year and a half surely has to be more expensive than just buying the drugs.
