Pity the nation whose people are sheep
and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
whose sages are silenced
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
except to praise conquerors 
and acclaim the bully as hero
and aims to rule the world 
with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows 
no other language but its own
and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money 
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation - oh, pity the people 
who allow their rights to erode 
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, 
sweet land of liberty!

Pity the nation who... by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Can koala prints mess up a crime scene?

“Oddly enough, the fingerprints of koalas are nearly identical to human beings, and even under a microscope, they are basically impossible to tell apart. The shape, size and ridge patterns are bizarrely identical, even moreso than the similarities between primate and human fingerprints. However, while human beings have “dermal ridges” on their entire fingers and across their palms, koalas only have fingerprints on the tips of their fingers, where the majority of their gripping force occurs.”

The dangers of metadata in messengers

DEADBEEF

>As of today, most messaging alternatives, including SimpleX, will have some limitations. But with the limited resources we have, **we are committed to daily progress towards creating a truly private messenger that anyone can use** while maintaining the features that users have come to know and love in messaging interfaces.

That will be a great help for those who care about their privacy.
