A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of ID verification (which they’re calling age verification) at account setup. This makes absolutely ZERO sense if you have even the most basic understanding of technology

rereading Box Hill after watching Pillion and i'm really struck by the generational differences between the films! they are both pretty compelling viewed independently, but the omission of ray's death and his family's attempt to erase his life makes the movie feel lopsided and empty in comparison

If we could break the weird belief that your soul is cleaned of the moral injuries of living in and benefitting from the imperial core by being aware of the evils it's doing for your enrichment we might get somewhere. It's a really Christian hopes and prayers belief system that is pacifying.

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.
