The trouble in Australia with the Fairphone models is that some/all networks are blocking them due to a perceived/actual risk they may not work reliably on Australian networks, and Fairphone has not done what the networks demand for that approval. (There’s a heightened risk-aversion here at the moment due to a few highly-publicised emergency-call routing/connection/fallback failures).

It’s a work in progress though, and it should work already/eventually:

Is it neutral to take a welcoming stance towards the leader of a government currently enacting a genocide?

Huh?? F-35s don’t need radars.

Their primary purpose is bombing schools, hospitals, and refugee camps – none of which move or pose a threat.

Nah just reflecting on the absurdity that the mere mention of river and sea may be criminalised by the Queensland government soon.

Oh, and that’s just a teaser! The full thing is a 90 page book. Looks like it might be available online for residents’ state libraries (australia), and hardcopy, and maybe elsewhere:

According to worldbank.org:

• In 2022 the crude death rate across Gaza and West Bank was 3.0/1000pop/year.
• In 2023 it was 7.0/1000pop/year.

I expect Gaza specific stats are worse. Maybe someone else has further info they can cite, perhaps also relating to 2024-2025, but like others have said, such data is difficult to collect when Israel repeatedly bombs hospitals and their personnel.

The structural impossibility is upsetting.

…yet our foreign interference concerns seem to be limited to panicking about things like “cybersecurity risks in Chinese-built electric buses”.

I reckon posts linking to your self-hosted videos would work if they had an embedded video – if your instance set the <meta property="og:video ..."\> tags appropriately.

Also possible to make posts on your own instance which automatically federate to lemmy communities, as in this example which originates from a mastodon instance: https://lemmy.ml/post/41288461

https://joinpeertube.org/instances

Peertube is federated and self-hostable.

Even better, posts linking to peertube videos get an embedded video in the post:

Their old beta was wonderfully practical and loads fast. Still sorta works for now - you need to edit the url manually because the search and some locations redirect to the new monstrosity.

Asbestos can be used by kids as chewing gum:

Wittenoom’s roads were paved with asbestos tailings from the nearby mines and workers went home covered in a layer of deadly dust.

Children played in the lethal mineral, and some even stuffed it in their mouths as a substitute for chewing gum.

I wonder if a smartphone with e-ink display would be a good solution.

Good enough for secure messaging & calling apps, usable with their existing touch-UIs, yet devoid of the addictive potential enabled by vibrant colour, smooth-scroll, and video.

Can even still use the camera – just need to wait until you ‘develop’ them by transferring to another device/medium with full colour or a video-capable display.

A child’s skull doesn’t know whether it’s steel or lithium making up that extra 0.5T.
