In parliament, the Scottish Greens brought debates, votes and motions to ban arms sales.
Today, the Scottish Government have backed our calls.

The MP was speaking at an event hosted by UKAI on “AI and FinTech for Growth” when a protester from Climate Resistance walked up to Jones and demanded that the Labour government “starts taxing the super rich” and “abolish billionaires”
Sharing the footage online, the protest group claimed: “While his government cosies up to tech billionaires, those same billionaires are trashing our planet, dismantling human rights, and profiting from hardship.”

This would not surprise me with the USA, it has a history of doing something similar and the result is usually WORSE than what they were trying to deal with in the first place.
If they plan to depose the leadership / government of a country, what do they PLAN to replace it with???

#Venezuela says the #US and Erik Prince have plans to stage an attack on an ExxonMobil off-shore platform as a pretext to invade it…and normally that would be an insane claim but… https://www.latintimes.com/venezuela-says-it-uncovered-us-plot-fabricate-incident-justify-invasion-580110

The in-person events at FediCon in Vancouver lit a fire in the Canadian ActivityPub community. One of the louder calls were for a place in the fediverse for ActivityPub discussions; a place for groups to form and for long-running discussions to be had.
I was more than happy to get involved. I also wanted such a place, and I've discussed it on and off for the past year. ActivityPub development discussions are fragmented across multiple disconnected channels, and none of them fully capture the entirety (or a majority, or even a sizeable minority) of the AP developer community. ActivityPub.Space is my answer to that call.
One constant about ActivityPub is that all ActivityPub developers are on the fediverse, and so it only makes sense that discussions about AP development should also take place on the fediverse.
At the same time, the "fediverse" isn't one singular entity. @jaz@mastodon.iftas.org famously quipped "There is One Fediverse. There are a Million Fediverses." While I can't make guarantees about this site connecting with a million fediverses, I can say that it does connect with the microblogiverse, the blogiverse (WordPress blogs!), and the Threadiverse (Lemmy/Piefed/MBin/NodeBB/Discourse).
So how does it work?
The site is divided up into several categories:
General Discussion is for any non-technical discussions about ActivityPub
Technical Discussion is for technical deep-dives
Meta contains discussions about this site itself
Random is for everything else (there's always a "Random" category on a forum, isn't there...?)
We also pull in content direct from Fediverse news outlets such as "Week in Fediverse", "Connected Places", and "Relay, by We Distribute".
On the threadiverse side, we directly link to several other fediverse-focused communities on Lemmy and Piefed.
We utilise a number of relays to both distribute local content out and receive content from the wider microblogiverse. When content comes in via microblogs, they're not usually categorized, so we check for relevant hashtags and automatically categorize them into one of the local categories.
The wonderful thing about this site is that it fully federates, which means you can follow all of these categories from your app of choice. You don't even have to register a local account if you don't want to, but you definitely can (and should!) if you want the best experience browsing the categorized topics.
The categories today are rather broad, but over time I hope to split them up into smaller topics based on user demand. Give the site a try today!
Perhaps we need to get a move on, and sort this out, so that we can learn from it properly. Then make sure that if this is happening in 2025 it is stopped and stopped in such a way that it sends a clear. hard message to anyone who even thinks they can abuse others with impunity, that they cannot and doing so will result in them spending the rest of their pathetic existance in a small, filthy prison cell along with those who help and support them doing so.
Abuse must stop, FULL STOP.

“There were many, many adults around [Epstein’s] properties that may not have participated but very clearly knew what was going on,” Jones said. “And they’re not saying anything, and why are they still not saying anything and speaking up on our behalf?”

I am not sure if I should see what happens on Mainstream social media as hilarious (due to the stupidity of it) or terrifying given people spread total garbage based on zero evidence. Are people on there truly this bloody stupid and totally lack any common sense.

RFK Jr. is going to release a report on what he thinks are the causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
There is reason to believe it won’t be trustworthy, so @defendpublichealth.bsky.social has released our own evidence-based report of ASD risk factors to the public.
Vaccines aren’t one of them.

That could explain some of the issues i have been experiencing.
This seems to be the secomd cyberattack on a company linked to Salesforce in the space of a week.
I am not a military expert, but when playing games such as command and conquer, you can't defend a whole base at the same time, the enemy probe you for weak points, the same goes when you attack, find a weak point and exploit it.
This is what we are potentially seeing here, as we have also seen Jaguar Land rover stall production, GPS being jammed. It could all be part of a real cyber warfare campaign.
They know we rely on Tech, so take down essential infrastructure and we are vulnerable.

I think decentralization and self hosting is going to be at least one solution to this, a service of one, means I am not at the mercy of 'users' who do stupid or illegal things.

I think this also highlights another problem, the pilots got back because they are able to read paper maps. The population now is so used to digital, that if any of the key digital infrastructure went down (or is taken down) what would happen?
The Conservative opposition have said that if they regain power they will open up the North sea oil and gas reserves. They just don't get it. I don't think the current Labour party are doing a good job either, lots of people against Net Zero, it can work, just need to make it work but also make it so it actually reduces energy bills for the general population who are still feeing the effects of high prices, higher taxes and other measures Rachael Reeves as implemented.
Mean while our climate is just getting hotter each year.
