1) As a former sailor here’s my hot take on the stuck boat in the Suez. I’m actually in admiration of the skill of whoever did this. They managed a crash in one of the busiest water ways and all they damaged was a wall. No lives lost. No other boat involved, no damaged cargo. A+ 

2) Lemme tell you about pilots. Pilots are tug boats or crew who lead you through challenging passages. Usually harbours or narrow water ways. The Suez requires you to hand over control of your boat to a government endorsed pilot crew. Some pilots are great. Suez Pilots are not 

3) they don’t protecc. They don’t atacc. Mainly they sleep and snacc. Yep. The Suez takes roughly 13 hours for a big ship to navigate. I have yet to hear of a diligent Seuz pilot who actually stayed at the helm even half that time. And pilots are not free. We pay extra for them 

a small private boat pays $500-1000 US. The #EVERGIVEN this would be over $10,000 US for the pilot crew alone on top of the $100,000 to use the canal. And the pilot crew are mandatory. Considering how much shipping goes through the suez, how are their bad pilots still not known? 

So #EVERGIVEN got stuck in a sand storm with 40kt gusts&no visiblity. This is totally enough to blow them off course&disorient them, they’d be working off radar and sonar. Factor in possible confusion of who was responsible for driving, the pilot of the officer of the watch?

The #EVERGIVEN officer’s concerns went like this -my crew -my ship -other ships -my cargo definitely not holding up global shipping traffic. And probably not that wall they hit with the part of the hill that’s reinforced. The fact that they ran aground without damaging cargo?

A+ #EVERGIVEN Officer & #Evergreen crew. I am truly amazed at your soft landing. I’m sorry no one is talking about the low quality Suez pilot crew who was supposed to be driving (I’m sorry to the good Suez pilots, I know you’re out there somewhere not napping & working hard)

Considering 10% of the world’s shipping traffic goes through the Suez, the fact that government endorsed mandatory suez pilots are negligent& harsss female crew in one of the world’s busiest canals should be known outside the boating world. Good luck #EVERGIVEN, you can do it!

folks, someday you are gonna be writing, and you're gonna put something on paper and hear a voice say "i know this is what you want, but will people like it?" and im here to tell you that is the DEVIL talking and you do whatever you damn well please

[copperbadge]

If fandom has taught me anything it has also taught me that there are at least five people in the world who will want it regardless of what it is, and they will find you.

[lonesparkthefriendlykraken]

so true. they´ve been searching, and you will make their month, or year

but maybe you´ll never know that, so write for yourself

my dad worked in HR for a big company before he retired. they offered summer internships for the children of employees, which I did for a few years during college. the pay wasn’t high, but you still did basically the same tasks as a full-time employee in your department

and it was WILD

I’d finish a task in a day, only to be told that was my task for the week. my boss was blown away and raved about my efficiency. which was very nice but like…dude. you gave me about 6 hours worth of work, and that’s at a leisurely pace with an hour-long lunch break. why are you so impressed?

eventually I started messing around on my phone for hours to drag the tasks out longer, because I felt bad when my boss had to scramble to find things for me to do. I got like ten fanfic chapters written per month that way

meanwhile, at my last retail job, I got in trouble for talking to vendors at the adjoining stalls during slow periods

What is going on with the world??

[dinodaddy-deactivated20221014]

Jesus…

In a move that has sparked outcry from archaeologists, historians and locals, the Peruvian government has approved a multi-billion international airport near the famed site of Machu Picchu, Peru’s single most important tourist destination. Bulldozers have begun to clear millions of tons of earth for the project, which will be located in Chinchero, a picturesque Inca town.

Building the airport in this location will destroy an ancient landscape, one shaped by the Incan people with terraces and routes.

Critics also suggest that planes flying low over the nearby village of Ollantaytambo and its archaeological park filled with ruins and a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces, would cause incalculable damage to fragile Inca ruins there and destroy the peace and beauty of the area.

The new airport will make access to the site much easier, and thus encourage greater numbers than ever before to visit.

But Machu Picchu is already overwhelmed by almost double the limit of tourists as recommended by UNESCO. [see also India’s Taj Mahal - an incredible site simply reeling under a relentless, ineffectively managed tourist, both domestic and international, onslaught]

It’s the constant battle between protecting the past and profiteering from it.

PLEASE REBLOG!

hey! peruvian here

to be completely honest, there is probably nothing anyone can do about this at this point because it has been in the works since the 90’s. as you can most likely tell, our government is a fucking joke. still, this needs international attention. a lot of it. this is my country’s history, culture and one of the most beautiful things we have to offer at risk.

our best bet is at the very least causing somewhat global outrage to spread awareness and perhaps make this into something bigger amongst the middle and upper class people in the central cities as sadly the lower class and indigenous citizens (the majority of the country’s population) go widely ignored by the government and the former (middle and upper class) tend to also ignore shit unless they perceive it as affecting them directly

what if we ignored every brand online what if we all unfollowed every brand and none of them had more than 3k followers and we never talked about a single brand by name no Matter what they tweet or do

Like, it’s 100% true that Kids These Days tend to be less computer literate than my generation was at that age, but that isn’t because they’re lazy.

It’s because consumer software has been growing steadily more user-hostile for the last twenty solid years, and this is a deliberate tactic on the part of major software vendors in order to manipulate people into paying money and/or installing adware in order to access functionality that their systems were already perfectly capable of.

Basically, big software vendors have realised that you can charge people for access to things they already have if you can prevent them from realising that they have it; this is now a major plank of their business model.

This is why the Right to Repair movement is incomplete without taking software into consideration: having direct, unencumbered, and unobfuscated access to the guts of your software is just as essential to sustainable computing as not having to piss around with eight different sizes of screws with four different proprietary screw-head designs in order to crack open your smartphone.

[libertineangel]

Right to Repair and the open source movement go hand in hand and they are both more relevant than ever.

If someone online requires you to share personally-identifying information in order to interact with them, you're better off not interacting with them.

I keep hearing about fandom spaces requiring photo ID in order to gain access, and I can't emphasize enough how bad that is.

Giving someone your ID, even with everything but the date of birth blacked out, is still giving them information.

Government-issued ID is still identifiable based on fonts, colours, backgrounds etc. That means someone could use your ID to track you to your country or region. People who are determined could then use other information that you've shared to track you further.

The issue isn't just them being able to show up at your house (or send someone else), either. It's the fact that they could sign up for credit cards in your name and trap you in thousands of dollars of debt that impacts your whole life. They could steal your identity.

Anyone who wants some kind of "legal protection" against minors seeking out NSFW materials should just do what the porn sites do. "By checking this box, you acknowledge that you're 18 years of age or older." Much simpler and safer for everyone involved.

Anyone you provide personal information to needs to be able to both protect that information and reliably destroy it.

In the words of Gandalf, "Keep it secret. Keep it safe."
