STOP DON'T SCROL

I am Osama Al-Anqar and my wife's name is Rana Raed Al-Anqar. We have a little girl.

We used to live in our house in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood. We used to live in peace and security and I had a job, but the war came and took everything from me,

first of all my brother Mahmoud, who was martyred in the bombing of the Baptist Hospital. He left behind his children and wife, and my brother Ahmed, whose front leg was amputated in the same bombing. I lost my house, my family's house, and my job. Now we have become homeless, moving from one place to another. We are gripped by fear, terror, and hunger. My daughter suffers from extreme fear and panic, and suffers from lack of food and skin diseases due to the lack of water and cleanliness.

We are in dire need of your help. We call on you to fund this fund to save my family and provide safe shelter, food, drink, and health care. Your donation is no matter what can happen to us in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means more.

URGENT HELP NEEDED

(this campaign has been vetted by @/moayesh, a trusted Palestinian individual who is in direct contact with @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi)

I'm writing this post to bring your attention to Hossam Saleh Muhammad Al-Bardawil (@hossamalbardawel), a 28 year old man from Gaza who has experienced truly unimaginable losses and difficulties as a result of this ongoing war.

His house was bombed, and his parents and siblings were all martyred as a result. Hossam is now displaced and suffering from a painful back injury, looking after his young nieces and nephews along with his widowed sisters-in-law. He is alone, and he needs our help.

He has been trying to raise the funds necessary to evacuate himself and the surviving members of his family when the border opens again, which we know could be very soon. Currently, he is not yet halfway to his goal of $20,000 CAD.

I humbly ask you to consider donating if it is within your means- Hossam and the remaining members of his family are suffering tremendously right now. A contribution of just $5 CAD is equivalent to roughly $3.60 USD right now, and would make a huge difference.

Hossam is unfamiliar with tumblr, and it is very difficult for him to consistently access the internet. I ask you to help me keep momentum going for his campaign when he cannot come on here to advocate for himself. Please follow Hossam for any updates he makes on his situation, and please encourage others to donate if they can.

These concentrated collective efforts can accomplish a lot. Hossam has so far managed to raise $7,882 CAD out of a $20,000 CAD goal. Let's help him get closer to that goal today!

I was able to make a contribution of $5 CAD (screenshot under cut)- can anyone match my donation?

I had a breakthrough yesterday that I've been fervently working on. With what I know about image compression and terminals I was able to implement image and animation display in terminals with color. I'll show a few examples and then explain the significance (I can't show the animation right now because I can't record it at the moment).

Note: These images were automatically optimized not manually, better quality is possible these are samples

The reason this matters is we now have a way to transport graphics in a very optimized way in which we only have to store the indexed colors and the positional data for the colors (which we have a novel method of optimizing) notably you only have to send the indexed colors once for an animation or stream of images. This provides us the ability to render graphics with no GUI so with far less overhead.

TLDR: We have an entirely new way to send and receive images/animations/streamed sequences

For the more technically interested read on

This uses the Python Curses wrapper and Pillow to achieve this. The limitations are loose but input images will automatically be posterized to handle the 255 color limit of Curses (a little fuzzy on if there are ways around this beyond the fg/bg doubling idea I'm thinking qbout, I'll look into it soon) and your image needs to be a width and height that can be displayed within your particular terminal setup ex: a 32x32px image needs 32 lines and 32 columns.

To accommodate this for PierMesh we can use the ShrinkRay optimizations.

update on mohammed's campaign

this is #192 on the Vetted Gaza Fundraiser List

earlier today mohammed @save-mohamed-family was telling me that he is worried for the winter and needs to buy a stronger tent before it starts getting cold. can you imagine the experience of being outside 24/7 with no shelter, no running water, no belongings, just a tent to protect you? can you imagine experiencing that for almost an entire year? i think a lot of us underestimate exactly how uncomfortable and exhausting it is to live in this condition with no reprieve.

help him afford a new tent that will protect him and his family as the winter approaches. he said stronger tents can cost $1500 to $2000, or more.

i've made more posts about mohammeds campaign here and here, but his entire immediate family besides his wife and kids were killed in the war already. please help him and his family survive this genocidal war. i really feel that we all have an obligation to the palestinian people because of the complicity of the entire world in this genocide. if you cant donate please share this with someone who can, every donation helps. collective participation is what really moves these fundraisers along

$10,338 raised of $50,000
