Given what happened with Brianna Ghey and Molly Russel (and a lot more) perhaps we need that here only hold parents responsible or accountable for the actions of their kids.

Hmm, There seems to be a greater stigma running Linux systems too.

@b0rk I love linux and would never consider anything else for running software for other people to use. But I live on Mac for software that *I* want to use.
Understood that you don't want advice, but if at some point you do, Fedi is a really good place to ask for it. Also FWIW I have some protips-from-a-longtime-user pieces on my blog.

Does it really matter if I use GB or US spellings for some words as long as the meaning remains the same people can still understand what you are saying, without being picky as if to assume everyone in the world uses US English.
I am British, and admit as I follow my local American football team, so I refer to American football as Football and what the world calls football as soccer. No one really seems to bother as people know what I am referring to.

Netanyahu has lost some support from Pres Biden. Will this stop his advancement into Rafah? Thankfully, the US didn't object today in a call for a ceasefire at the UN.
"Netanyahu cancels the departure of the Israeli delegation for talks at the White House regarding the operation in Rafah in response to the American decision not to veto the resolution in the Security Council that calls for a ceasefire and the release of the abductees." -Barak Ravid

If companies can dispose of their toxic waste anywhere they choose, New Mexico’s acequias, groundwater aquifers, rivers and streams could face even greater risk of contamination than they do today. https://www.abqjournal.com/opinion/opinion-federal-mining-bill-would-threaten-acequias-wildlife-and-public-lands/article_6dcbdefe-e63a-11ee-8cdd-3fc1f0257bf1.html

Is there any actual evidence? On a different note there was an article on Royal Navy activity against the Houthi rebels on BBC breakfast, correspondent asked the Naval officer if Iran was supplying the weapons, the answer was not yes or no but to say something like there is not enough evidence to draw a conclusion. Which is probably correct, while we suspect Iran is supplying these more advanced weapons, unless we have evidence we can't point fingers.
I just hope the UK government as some evidence to back the allegations up.

UN Security Council resolution calls for Gaza ceasefire
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68658415
Immediate ceasefire or What? Unless Netanyahu is given a stark choice to stop or face severe consequences, he won't stop in Gaza.

It would not surprise me if the terrorists who did this haver not had their demise arranged, perhaps as with other opponents of Putin they will meet a sticky end. Nerve agents, falling out of windows, plane crashes etc seem normal way to remove those who oppose Putin.
Given what happened, any prison guards may relish the chance of revenge.

Fascists and corporations are the ones who stand to benefit greatly by the elimination of anonymous or unverified Internet use. They've been pushing for it from every angle for years as it grants them access to the smallest details of everyone's life. And as has often been the case, they are once again using, "protect the children" as the vehicle to get what they want.
