The ruling Inuit Ataqatigiit party & its partner Siumut, which also seek slow path towards independence, won 36% of votes.
“Trump's vocal interest has shaken up status quo, & coupled with the growing pride of the Indigenous people in their Inuit culture, put independence front and centre in the election…. "But I think the fear of the U.S. imperialist approach has lately become bigger than the anger towards Denmark”..

Israel is scared. Despite millions of dollars in #lobbying, buying media, #politicians and #SocialMedia, the truth is coming out. Millions of #activists around the world expose the crimes of #Israel to people of the world.

March 12, 1930 - Gandhi's Salt March began from Ahmadabad, India, with 76 followers to protest the salt tax. Great Britain's Salt Acts prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a staple of the Indian diet.
Citizens were forced to buy it from the British, who, in addition to exercising a monopoly over the manufacture and sale of salt, also exerted a heavy salt tax. Defying the Salt Acts, Gandhi reasoned, would be a simple way for many Indians to break an unjust law nonviolently (civil disobedience), increasing the pressure for independence from the British Empire.
By the time Gandhi had covered the 241 miles to the coastal city of Dandi on the Arabian Sea, the number of marchers had grown into the thousands.
Folks, unlike internet comms radios can't just be disconnected by a service provider. It's just you, another radio, and physics.
Now is a good time to get a #hamradio license in the US. The FCC could take away our spectrum rights but regardless you would still have radio gear and know-how.
Also consider license-free walkie-talkie style handheld radios. I'm not up to date on what's in the US but for example in the EU we have several options, including the EU-wide PMR446 and "hunting band" radios.
Just don't expect any *privacy*. Anyone in range who happens to be listening will be able to listen, and wide-band scanners are widely available. Some commercial digital radios can be programmed for actual encryption; of course using that on the amateur bands is illegal.

I aware of but not familiar with IPFS, so that's probably a good place to start research, but...
Does anyone know of any efforts to create a program like Seti@Home that would allocate blocks of storage to be used globally by the filesystem it is supporting?
I'm just imagining how interesting and possibly useful it would be to have a storage pool of millions, perhaps billions, of nodes connected sharing some amount of the replicated and encrypted data.
And if it were as easy to contribute to as running some simple program and saying "OK, here's 20gb for you to use." would get us closer to millions of nodes.
Just a thought.

I broke my book on sunday. I stepped to the curb, realized the epilogue belongs at the beginning of the story, not at the end, and realized I needed to rethink everything.
In the end, I settled for moving the central incident of the epilogue to the back half of the first act. It's going to minimize the amount of rework I need to do to existing scenes (though everything, EVERYTHING involving one character needs to be completely rewritten) and actually, longer-term, doesn't change the arc of the book much.
What it does do is immediately remove the sense the old plan had that this entire book is just the epilogue for something Bigger.

Microsoft just admitted that the thing that gave me the most grief in Teams, the transferring of at least some Skype contacts to it (or creation of equivalent ones) simply doesn't work yet and is supposed to start working at some point of time in the future.
Thanks, Microsoft, for wasting 2 weeks of my life.
Ryleigh Cooper was fired by the US Forest Service.
Jennifer Piggott was fired by the Treasury Department.
They voted for Donald.
They deserve every second of this.
The takeaway here is that if you’re over the age of 30, you’re basically dumb as a lead pipe.

This the same crowd that was trying to kill electric cars 5 months ago and are now shilling for Tesla. There are also the crowd vehemently to government handouts and Tesla would not exist without major Federal and State incentives for EVs and subsidies to build their factories.
The GOP is just short for Grifting Old People.
What does this remind you of?
the German fascist regime promoting the "people's car" 80 years ago
