It's funny how Mozilla is being vilified non-stop this past week when nothing's really changed (only their legal wording). Whereas Google are literally personal information vampires; they make the web a worse place for people and their freedoms.
I will continue supporting Mozilla and using Firefox.
The idea of Hamas will never be eradicated for as long as Palestinians live under occupation and dehumanisation. Hamas came to be after Palestinian land was occupied, large swathes stolen and its people killed by Apartheid Israel.
There already are 5.6 million refugees in Jordan and neighbouring countries, created by Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians; that's almost half the population of Israel. Why should Palestinians forcibly leave their own land?
I hope the leaders of this genocide are brought to be accountable. Apartheid Israel have killed 10s of thousands, stole their land and dehumanised the Palestinian people; all supported by the so-called enlightened West (especially the US). This leaves a huge black spot on their morality.
So there's a Carnarvon in Australia that has to do with radio telescopes and a Carnarvon in South Africa that has to do with radio telescopes? In South Africa, the Square Kilometre Array telescopes (and others) are situated within the Meerkat National Park outside of Carnarvon.
Jodrell Bank⁰ is open to visitors; not in Wales, but not a million miles away either.
I remember reading something in The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy as a child and not just not knowing where "Jodrell Bank and Woomera" were, but not knowing what manner of thing they were either :)
I've only been once, but I highly recommend Blue Dot Festival, which is a music and science festival held at Jodrell Bank. On the one hand it's a classic UK music festival, but alongside the usual stalls selling Peruvian hats and vegan wraps there are lots of stalls with grad students sharing cool stuff that they're working on. Like the best festivals it's good for kids but also good for all night drum and bass sessions. https://discoverthebluedot.com/
We've impacted the Earth to our detriment, I feel, for the sake of chasing money. We need to rethink what it means to live in peace and harmony on this living planet of ours.
Do you think we’ll be rational? Or we need to speedrun system failure to force success? I think the latter, based on the evidence. There is no will unless catastrophe is imminent.
Some of my polyester t-shirts have lasted more than 10 years without any loss in colour or quality, it's a damn shame they cause microplastics since it's probably better that people don't buy clothing every month if clothes lasted longer.
