Israel's crimes against Palestinians are many, and not all are committed with bombs and white phosphorous.

Here a Palestinian mother is dragged from her son’s grave. Israel is demolishing the cemetery to build a theme park 🇵🇸💔

#ClimateDiary Rapidly reaching the surreal stage

Farmers who have their entire cropping land submerged underwater have found they are ineligible for a government flooding hardship fund – because their farms are too far from a major river. #Floods #ukpolitics #farming

“Eccentric concentric circles in Carcassonne citadel”

In the summer of 2018, the city of Carcassonne — a medieval fortress dating back to the Gallo-Roman period — celebrated its twentieth anniversary as a Unesco World Heritage Site by inviting Swiss artist Felice Varini to create an ephemeral work on the city's ramparts and towers.

The artist had glued strips of aluminum foil painted yellow on the stones, to form an anamorphosis: designed to be seen from a specific location, the strips then formed “eccentric concentric circles”, title of the work.

A work amply photographed and shared on social networks, thus ensuring a renewed notoriety to the city. The work was then, as expected, dismantled.

But the bands left traces on the walls, where the concentric circles are finally still visible, in hollow, like the skin remained under a bathing suit all summer... They should leave gradually, but difficult to anticipate the time necessary.

X rolled out a change that automatically converts all links that have the string “twitter” *anywhere* in them to “X.”

For example, if someone tweets the link `setwitter.com`, the X client application will change that link to `sex.com`.

This is not a joke.

Pascal Praud, l’heure des cibles

Le présentateur de #CNews s’est fait une spécialité de jeter en pâture dans ses émissions des personnes qu’il accuse de vouloir censurer les voix de droite, déclenchant contre eux des torrents de menaces de morts et d’insultes. Il sera jugé en juin pour diffamation.

Handy guide for April 8 I learned from an astronomer once upon a time:

☀️ — 🌙 — 🌎 = Solar Eclipse

☀️ — 🌎 — 🌙 = Lunar Eclipse

🌎 — ☀️ — 🌙 = Apocalypse

Enjoy! And wear your safety glasses, especially in case of apocalypse!

To expand a bit, there's no way to build something on the web without HTML—even if that HTML is written via JavaScript.

Similarly, there's no (reasonable) way to adjust the appearance of that HTML without CSS—even if that CSS is written via JavaScript.

These days, HTML and CSS can handle massive amounts of things that used to require JavaScript.

So if JavaScript is the least critical and least reliable part of the stack, we should all strive to use it less rather than more.

I made an HTML/DOM viewer you can paste into your console to view or debug any website in 3D. Choose from random/gradient/clear colors or whether layers have sides.

You can save it as a bookmarklet so it's 1 click away. It's just a tiny IIFE JS function.

How `uv` saves Home Assistant 215 compute hours per month, https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/04/03/build-images-with-uv/.

`uv` is a faster Python package manager than `pip`. It is written in Rust, by Astral, https://github.com/astral-sh/uv.

Home Assistant saves 215 computer hours per month when using `uv`, e.g. on `armhf` when it took 1h52m20s with `pip` versus 6m2s with `uv` to run their release workflow. That’s insane.
