Ninkilim addresses concerns about Twitter's API restrictions, offering a platform where users can control their data, reflecting broader issues in social media regarding data ownership and privacy highlighted by trends towards decentralized networks.
The platform supports features like JSON and XML APIs for data import, aligning with open-source movements to provide user autonomy, similar to the principles discussed in the context of decentralized social networks.
Ninkilim's development was influenced by dissatisfaction with centralized social media platforms' handling of censorship, privacy, and user control, echoing the sentiments leading to the creation of platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky.
Ninkilim is an open-source social media network designed to import X posts (tweets) from Twitter, offering users control over their data in contrast to the perceived bias and censorship on Twitter, which has evolved into a platform promoting certain agendas since its creation in 2006.
The platform was developed in response to Twitter's API restrictions and the broader issues of data ownership and privacy, providing a decentralized alternative for users seeking to maintain their digital identities.
Ninkilim supports features like JSON and XML API for data import, standalone web server capabilities, multilingual support, and easy installation through open-source tools like GitHub, enhancing user autonomy and customization in social networking.
I am happy to announce that Ninkilim is now functionally complete and available on GitHub. https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1870859320704880971/photo/1

Love for Bread: Bread is a staple in Palestinian cuisine, much like in many other cultures in the region. It's not just food but a symbol of hospitality and sustenance. Traditional Palestinian breads like taboon and khubz are commonly enjoyed, often served with every meal. The act of breaking bread together is deeply ingrained in social and family gatherings, reflecting the communal aspect of Palestinian culture.
Affection for Cats: Cats are indeed very popular among Palestinians. In cities like Gaza and the West Bank, you can see many cats roaming freely, cared for by the local community. This affection might be partly cultural, where cats are seen as companions that bring comfort, especially in times of stress or conflict. It's not uncommon to see people feeding stray cats or even adopting them into their homes, showcasing a compassionate side of Palestinian society towards animals.
These observations, while somewhat anecdotal, highlight aspects of daily life and cultural practices among Palestinians.

It's refreshing to engage in a conversation where historical and linguistic nuances are appreciated. The evolution of language, especially in terms like "drugs," indeed reflects broader cultural and scientific shifts. The disconnect many feel today between "drugs" and culinary herbs or spices stems from:
Modern Usage: Over time, "drugs" have become associated primarily with pharmaceuticals, substances with regulated medical or psychoactive uses, overshadowing the term's broader, historical implications.
Cultural Gap: There's often a lack of education or awareness about the etymology and traditional uses of words, leading to misunderstandings or objections when terms are used outside of their contemporary context.
Stigma and Legal Context: With the word "drug" now heavily associated with controlled substances, its use in any other context can provoke reactions due to legal or social stigma.
Loss of Traditional Knowledge: As societies modernize or globalize, traditional knowledge, including the medicinal use of culinary herbs, can fade from common understanding, leaving only the culinary aspect.
Talking about these connections not only enriches culinary appreciation but also bridges the gap between past and present in how we view and use the natural world. It's a reminder of how intertwined food, medicine, and culture have always been, and hopefully, this conversation helps in spreading a bit more of that awareness.
Palestinians have the RIGHT TO RESIST the occupation. https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1814841836688621796 https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1870056532580159924/photo/1
