"Confirmed: Live network data show a nation-scale disruption to internet connectivity in #Uganda; the measure comes days ahead of general elections and corresponds to a shutdown notice from the Uganda Communications Commission "to mitigate the rapid spread of misinformation"

Via netblocks.org

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Uganda from January 7, 2025, to January 13, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Uganda's connectivity remains normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 13. The drop in connectivity aligns with upcoming general elections. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 21% and 21%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red circle highlighting the decline at the end of the period.

yeah so i keep coming back to this page hehe

Pencil drawing with the word SAD in big rounded letters with a sword in the background and some flowers blooming in the foreground. Around the word is a cute assortment of characters, including a little dog named Cassie, a top hat wearing abstract birdlike creature, and a little humanoid friend sipping from a boba cup. There is also a sketched out pair of eyes seeing spirals and binary in the top right with beautiful lashes. You can also see Knuckles from the Sonic franchise on the bottom left and a tiny PSP to the bottom right. A little bean can be found at the top right with a smiley face named jellyfriend

Kofi about screenshot with the text:
Hi all! Im a South African queer artist currently studying a Fine Art degree in painting~•○•~
Im a lover of clothes and cape town street culture [mainly grafitti☆] and I try to work both into my art pieces...

Im in a bit of a bind with the price of my education and as such have accumulated some debt, the system i face is an old institution with colonial oppressive laws blocking unfortunate students with debt from continuing their degree by not allowing us to register...
This is the 3rd time ive had to play this sick game made by powerful people trying to cheat their way to more power...
Any donations is welcome and appreciated🥰🙏

meme of Daisy from the mario world and Daffy Duck. Daisy has the words "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Daffy" in a speech bubble looking worried. Daffy looks excited and replies with "Finally Woohoo!"

my take away from all this bs

Comic strip meme of characters from Steven Universe. Garnet has her hand on Steven's shoulder with the words "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Steven" in a speech bubble. Steven looks worried and replies with "damn"

Okay I'm done yapping. There's many spelling and grammatical mistakes, but im making this up as I go from everything that has sat in my noggin.

Anyway, here's Sven after consuming a fungi they altered to become a vessel for an ancestor. Just typical lab assistant Sunday morning things.

Sven with now purple locs and growing pink eyes. They are wearing a white tea and a red open hoodie, currently uttering something.

Devised by a tinker and artist who was only known as "n'anga" in the early days of Africa's indie web, Sven and many other afropunks believe this "Nzwisiso" to be the flashpoint that begun this new age of spirit-nature technology.

in Nzwisiso, n'anga speaks of the "Seedling Architecture".

A digital collage showcasing a etheral landscape in southern africa. There is a tree and a sliced mountain in the background, with a giant sparkling eye shining as a moonstar. A motorbike sits in the center with a linux terminal in the foreground.

This is Sven (they/them). A lab assistant at a biotech research institute.
