The Nairobi National Park in #Kenya is now threatened by several plans for development, including a luxury tourist resort in rhino breeding grounds and a plan to fully enclose the park.
These proposals contradict the 2030 National #Wildlife Strategy recently adopted by the government which aims to sustain natural habitats and reduce biodiversity loss.
@matrix “Any form of restricting freedom of speech is dangerous because it is the right that enables us to communicate the reality of every other right. When those with a monopoly on the initiation of force control the narrative, that is a very dangerous thing for a free people.”
That's gold. #fediblock
@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @NHonigdachs@norden.social I am not sure if that's the case, technically. If so, I agree. Net Neutrality is supposed to be about the equal treatment of traffic, not the equal split of resources to domains.
Of course, the concept is to give users the power of choice - having access to all information in a decent way, instead of being told what site to visit and being discouraged or even blocked from sources the ISPs don't favour. There have been some intentional slow-downs, even before the laws went into effect.
@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @NHonigdachs@norden.social
Hmmm, do you want to explain why you disagree?
@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @NHonigdachs@norden.social
Yes, this bill is creepy. Still, the carnage of Net Neutrality passed and EU approved a lighter version of Article 13, after all.
@torproject I would not recommend Wire if using a FOSS app is possible and convenient. Signal, as mentioned, is great.
@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social
Sadly, there are countries where using anything with encryption is illegal.
@NHonigdachs@norden.social
@Sphinx Well, I agree of course. The protest was peaceful. What's more, there are not a lot of people resisting the upcoming drilling plans.
@Sphinx Yes, I live in Greece. I didn't take part in that action, but I shared the pictures, cause I think this is an important problem in Greece rn.

What about people that are interested in STEM but don't have a formal education or are students in a STEM field?
"You can’t have #climatechange without sacrifice zones, and you can’t have sacrifice zones without disposable people, and you can't have disposable people without #racism," writes Hop Hopkins.
Thoughts?

The metastasis of DRM into every product category shows that when business apologists talk about the sanctity of property, they mean the sanctity of CORPORATE property.
If the manufacturer gets to override your decisions about the things you buy - and felonize any attempt to wrest control back - they property ceases to exist. We become tenants of our devices, not owners.

@design_RG @perceptivemind Thank you, guys!
@perceptivemind I still don't fully understand what's the difference between follow and subscribe. Can you explain?
@design_RG @freemo @curt It makes sense now.
