Israel deports Greta Thunberg after Gaza-bound ship she was on was seized
By ISAAC SCHARF and AREEJ HAZBOUN
Updated 3:08 PM EDT, June 10, 2025
"The conditions they faced “are absolutely nothing compared to what people are going through in Palestine and especially Gaza right now,” she said. The trip was meant to protest Israeli restrictions on aid to Gaza’s population of over 2 million people after 20 months of war, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the group behind the journey.
“We were well aware of the risks of this mission,” Thunberg said. “The aim was to get to Gaza and to be able to distribute the aid.” She said the activists would continue trying to get aid to Gaza."

Bandwagon is Bringing Music Sales to the Fediverse
An open source, self-hostable music platform will soon allow people on the Fediverse to buy music and support artists. Here's why it's a big deal.
Bandwagon is Bringing Music Sales to the Fediverse
Bandwagon, the music-sharing platform built on Emissary, has seen a lot of success over the past few months. The site has grown to a catalogue of over 300 different musicians, spanning a wide range of different sounds and genres. After refining search and discovery features, project lead Ben Pate has decided to focus on introducing a payment system for music sales.What’s Coming
This new payment system allows for ways to financially support artists on the Fediverse, and the levels of support resemble a hybrid of what both Bandcamp and Patreon offer. Not only does this feature include line items for digital media, but a new mechanism for access and distribution. Additionally, the flagship instance of Bandwagon.fm will be taking 0% of any money musicians make.Premier Plans
To support development, Bandwagon’s flagship instance will be offering a $10 per month Premier plan that allows musicians to sell their music and offer their tracks at a higher bit-rate, among other features. To support the artist community, a number of Fediverse musicians will likely be gifted a lifetime Premier membership for free.Album and Track Purchases
Once this feature becomes available to musicians, they will be able to configure a Merchant account to dictate what items they want to include for purchase. This could cover individual tracks, EP’s, or entire albums. It’s also possible to configure Support Levels with monthly billing.Managing products and exclusive media in a merchant account.
When someone buys music through Bandwagon, their purchases get added to a profile. If you’re a native Bandwagon user, those live in your account. If you’re visiting from another platform, purchased items instead live in a special Guest Profile that can be connected to a Fediverse identity.
Special Access
Another new feature unique to Bandwagon is the concept of Circles. These are special, privileged collections of followers who can pay to access exclusive content: special album drops, rare tracks, secret shows, and private “behind the scenes” posts can all be accessed by premium followers.
What’s remarkable about this system is how things are tied together: this mechanism checks for payment, recognizes a Fediverse handle, and grants access on that basis. Previously, other systems needed to provision this kind of thing manually: you might have been able to pay for something through Stripe or PayPal, but there wasn’t always a way to account for a user’s Fediverse identity afterwards. Instead, that all had to be dealt with by hand.
Posts, Events, and Media can now be scoped to specific audiences with Circles
This also means that it’s possible to create multiple kinds of support levels, which could give a Bandwagon musician profile almost Patreon-like functionality. Different support tiers could receive access to different things, allowing rewards to stack with the level of donations. One level might receive private blog posts, whereas another might have access to a monthly track plus access to private blog posts.Alternate Payment Methods
For the time being, Bandwagon will support Stripe and PayPal when the feature launches. However, Ben has stated an interest in supporting many more payment processors, in the hopes of providing choice to artists and buyers:Bandwagon will build integrations with private companies (lots of them, actually) but we will never depend on any one specific company. Open APIs are best, but when those are unavailable, we’ll connect directly to Stripe, PayPal, or anyone who can deliver benefits for indie artists. But If I have to integrate with one merchant provider to accept payments, then I’ll integrate with two, or seven, or as many as we can to guarantee that the companies we work with cannot abuse their position with monopoly power.
The project has also stated having zero interest in implementing support for cryptocurrencies. However, given that Bandwagon is an open source project, it wouldn’t be that surprising to see third parties build in support for various crypto payments for their respective communities.

Looking at the Big Picture
On the surface, these new features are big milestones for supporting the Fediverse music community. If we dig a little deeper, we’ll find that everything powering this new experience is part of the underlying Emissary platform. This is one more tool in Emissary’s arsenal for developers to build distinct services with donations, payments, and commerce in mind. Maybe in the future, we’ll see new kinds of Emissary apps that could act as replacements for DeviantArt, Nebula, or GameDev Market.There’s a reason this development is so important: the Fediverse today lacks any kind of commerce. While it’s possible to support people out-of-band through things like Patreon or OpenCollective, the reality is that the experience is pretty fragmented. Being able to support artists, musicians, game designers, open source developers, and instance admins are a necessity for growing a healthy Fediverse. If we could build standardized support for this kind of market commerce across different platforms, it could have a huge impact on the network’s ability to sustain itself.

universitanza spaccoficeranza, la mia mente non è immacolata
Ho realizzato che, tutte queste volte nelle ultime settimane in cui ho dovuto ahimè recarmi all’università di mattina (per ora poche; ed è sia un bene che un male, dati i miei assoluti motivi) per via degli esamini e le cose sconvenienti, succede qualcosa di molto buffo. Per l’ora che torno a casa, è quasi come se non fossi mai dovuta uscire per niente di casa a confrontarmi con le palle; semplicemente, la differenza è che in quel caso, anziché dormire fino alle 11, ho dovuto svegliarmi prima e fare l’avanti e indietro… però poi il mio popò di rotting da sveglia prima di pranzo riesco a farmelo. E quindi, anche se certamente rompo lo slancio del sonno tosto, almeno non piango. 🤯Nonostante questo, però, devo confessare e riconfermare che le vibe non sono buone. Oh, io non pretendo che siano addirittura immacolate, ma quantomeno buone; manco quello mi è concesso. Non lo so, più passa il tempo e più andando all’università mi sento praticamente fuori posto. Vorrei a questo proposito magari dire “da non credere“, ma in realtà è abbastanza credibile… visto da un lato che OK, il periodo degli esami non è mai gioioso — pur ipoteticamente tralasciando le questioni di studio, perché l’atmosfera è comunque sempre definita da una strana mistura di ambienti praticamente fantasma ma un’aria pur sempre affollata e pesante; e ringraziamo il cielo che quantomeno d’estate c’è il bel tempo, che evita che l’umore cada addirittura fino a sotto i piedi — e dall’altro, più passa il tempo e meno riesco a fare e mantenere amicizie, quindi ops (ma non è colpa mia se sono finita all’unica facoltà di informatica al mondo senza frequentanti tecnoschizofrenici, e se io sono la persona instabilmente evanescente che sono). ☠️
Comunque, per quanto le vibe non erano e mai saranno immacolate, perlomeno il drip lo è stato stavolta… È capitato il nero super stile セーラームーン, che un pochino rende il prospetto di questo dei miei impegni meno pesante, in quanto mi ricorda che anche per me la vera sfida è da ritrovarsi in qualche misura nella magia e nel salvare il mondo ormai insalvabile… eccetto che no, perché quella sarebbe in realtà la mia missione divertente, mentre il resto che devo fare non può far altro che indurmi il sonnolino. Un outfit che sarebbe forse meglio usare all’orale questo eh, in quanto probabilmente capace di fare grande colpo col potere delle stelle, però pazienza, mi accontento averlo usarlo allo scritto più facile di tutto il corso. 👍

Berg Lake trail from Kinney Lake cg to Whitehorn CG
Berg Lake trail to Whitehorn campground
The next chunk of the Berg lake trail goes from Kinney Lake up to Whitehorn campground. Situated in the valley of a thousand waterfalls, it is hard not to be awed by the surroundings. Trail closed at the CG on 5/2/25, it is now open again. Would love to do the entire thing. While up here, I managed to see some avalanche blasting, which can be seen on the videos post, link is also Here. Put it on the video post as well, but anyone know any peertube instance i can upload to? I’d be happy to switch, although I may also post videos to youtube for greater accessibility.
Extra photos include two views of the surrounding mountains, one with the avalanche still flowing and the other looking up towards mt Robson.

This is useful for dispelling the hype around ChatGPT and for demonstrating the limits of general purpose LLMs.
But that's about it. This is not a "win" for old school game engines vs new ones. Stockfish uses deep reinforcement learning and is one of the strongest chess engines in the world.

Israel says it is keeping Rima Hassan because hostage taking is only wrong when Hamas does it
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/31468375
Israel has already proven it’s the good guy by spraying the Madleen with an unknown chemical, ramming the vessel, boarding it and making the crew throw their mobile phones overboard.Israeli commandos were so nice during the encounter that they agreed not to kill anyone as long as they showed total obedience. In fact, the commandos showed such restraint that they didn’t even strip anyone naked. Well, not that I know of…
Israel was temporarily nice to the crew of the Madleen so it could get a propaganda picture and then it took them ashore where it tried to make them watch footage of October 7. When the crew refused, it demanded they sign deportation papers accepting they had illegally entered Israel, even though they were in international waters and it was Israel who took them to Israel!
I understand some of the Madleen crew signed the deportation papers and were sent on their way, but disgracefully, Rima Hassan refused to be repatriated. Apparently, she wouldn’t confess to something she hadn’t done because she has “principles”. Israel says it therefore has no choice but to keep her as a hostage, I mean an, um, prisoner.
Obviously, prisoner is the only accurate word to describe someone who is being illegally detained, having committed no crime. Hassan can’t be a hostage because she smiled defiantly and ate a sandwich and no hostage would ever eat a sandwich. It disrespects all those who were captured on October 7 to call Hassan a hostage, just because she is being held against her will after being abducted by armed men.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but Hassan is Palestinian and it’s fine to treat Palestinians this way. It’s what Israel has always done x

Thunberg said Israel had committed "an illegal act by kidnapping us on international waters and against our will, bringing us to Israel, keeping us in the bottom of the boat, not letting us getting out and so on".
Rima Hassan was kidnapped by Israel and now she’s being held for a crime that they forced her to commit.
This is literally the same logic as when the schoolyard bully grabs your hand, hits your face with it, and tells you to stop hitting yourself.
Shows Israel's mental maturity.
Old man believes whatever he sees on cable TV
like this
Step 1. Do not address the argument made by Hasan.
Step 2. Hurr Durrr Bernie good? Israel no genocide Netanyahu bad?! Israel has the right to defend itself!!
- I don't respect him, or his takes.
- Not a fan of Bernie, either. Definitely not a fan of Isreal. I'm trying to think of any political commentators or politicians or activists I don't dislike, and all I have are AOC and Gretchen Whitmer. And I think Greta.
Bonus opinion, I don't think there should be any violence from the protesters. Regardless of what the police or national guard do. Arrests, tear gas, rubber bullets, just take it. Don't throw things, don't loot, no masks, just take it. A protest is serious business, and I think you should be willing to accept any consequences from it if you really support the cause you're fighting for, whether it is imprisonment, injury, or death. If you aren't, don't protest. Everybody remembers MLK being arrested. Everybody remembers Tank Man from Tiananmen Square. Everybody remembers Rosa Parks. Hopefully, everybody remembers Rachel Corrie. Their acts were so impactful because of the stark contrast between their peaceful non-violence and the response to them.
If there is any property damage done, let it be by the cops. Deep down, I believe most people are materialistic and somewhat selfish. If their car gets torched during a protest by protesters, they're probably going to get pissed at the protesters! You want the support of the masses. Of businesses. If you're a shop owner, and your windows get blown out by teargas and rubber bullets, you're probably going to be way more pissed at the cops than the polite people just gathered in the street.
From the outside, to the centrists and the old people who still watch the news, a quiet (but huge) group of people getting pelted with tear gas and rubber bullets is so much more sympathetic than (hypothetically) some person in a mask chucking rocks at the police, waving a foreign flag. Again, sympathetic to people less left leaning. In my opinion.
Conversely, if someone thinks violence is the answer, I don't think that's a protest. That's a fight. A revolution. And that energy should be directed, planned. Not just riot style destruction.
That's all I've got, peace.

Hasan is the worst possible messenger for all of this, totally agree with the guy you are responding to. This dude is a rich frat boy who ran a show where his sign of ended with "or I'll fuck you dog".
He's a left wing grifter like Tim pool is a right-wing grifter. Honestly the only reason we're here is because he's a nepotism baby, he's a literal industry plant of Cenk of TYT.
Eventually his rich insulated ass will catch a charge, or someone will come forward with how terrible he is in private, and the world will move on to the next generationally wealthy person with the right opinions. Fuck Hasan, the messenger is so flawed to make people who support him look dumb to anyone who sees clips of him saying America deserves 9/11.
Lmao yeah that's me, right wing troll! Pointing out that the dude who has put on many hats at trying to be famous, including a man-show but with a single douche bag instead of two douche bags. He even almost quit lefty posting before he actually got a large following on twitch.
The dude is a rich-daddy grifter who is looking for a narcissistic bump no matter what he has to say. His gold-brick stacking ass isn't your friend, you're his prey, just like Tim pool fans. Even his lefty opinions are suss AF. What's his favorite flag?
Him tweeting at a person with actual gravitas is funny, all ya'll are gonna be disappointed by this guy sometime soon, too many eyes now.
Really, is that actually an opinion you have? You are so encased in this steamer bubble you think he's the ONLY mainstream influencer to take a stand against Isreal.
You are so in this weird world of twitch drama I must be part of it since i don't like this grifting asshole. The only thing I know about destiny are his terrible debates and the fact that he leaked a bunch of nudes of people he was fucking. your entire world is bookended by assholes.
you think he’s the ONLY mainstream influencer to take a stand against Isreal.
Yes. When it was unpopular that is. Now that 'one day everyone will have always been against this' is approaching the actual grifters come crawling over.
You keep mentioning the word 'grift' I don't think you understand what it means.
Palestine is the ultimate anti-grifter test and Hasan has passed it with flying colors by never endorsing the Democrats if they didn't compromise to Palestine despite all the turbolibs screaming at him
Plenty of mainstream influencers have kept the same opinion of Palestine, maybe you mean no one has made a career on it like Hasan. Like the he knows where his money and support is coming from, and he knows when it started. So yeah, he's definitely become the must famous and made the must money exploiting Palestine.
And no, I'm definitely using it right in my opinion, you just don't agree Palestine is his grift.
I don't think he believes any of it, from his incredibly shakey support of boycotts, to his stance on houthis, it's all performative. I don't mind if you don't agree with me, but Hasan would threaten to break into your house and fuck your dog if you didn't agree with him. That's an actual thing he said over and over. He's a fucking clown.
No Signifier didnt dare. like Kendrick Lamar.
Name a big influencer then. Link their stuff of them standing up from the start of the genocide.
I'm so glad somebody agrees. That's exactly what he is, and why I cannot respect him or his opinions. He is a self-proclaimed propagandist.
And you were called a right-wing troll. Is it hard to believe there are people on the left that don't like Hasan? I guess you didn't specify if you are or not, but I can at least speak certainly about myself. That other person said I should listen to what Hasan has to say, and it just really reminded me of what my mom would say about Rush Limbaugh. It's the exact same thing, just a different flavor of bullshit.

Well good thing the U.S. economy is rock solid at the moment, and we have excess money to burn.
Otherwise we might start seeing bipartisan anger at a president and administration who have spent $134 million dollars to force a state government to do what the federal government says, while undoing previous federal orders regarding civil rights bc they were an unjust burden to states and a waste of the American tax payer dollar.

Packaging sostenibile, moda insostenibile: un sistema corotto in una scatola verde
Il packaging sostenibile è la nuova frontiera per i brand di lusso. Un recente report di Bain & Company in collaborazione con Fedrigoni evidenzia come la sostenibilità stia diventando un vero vantaggio competitivo nel packaging di alta gamma.
I numeri sembrano promettenti:
• +30% di packaging sostenibile entro 3 anni
• Materiali avanzati a base carta
• Riduzione volumi imballaggi
La verità scomoda
Il packaging è solo il 5% dell'impatto ambientale del fashion (Ellen MacArthur).
La vera domanda è: queste aziende sono pronte ad affrontare l’elefante nella stanza? Nel caso qualcuno non l’avesse ancora notato, l’elefante è la sovrapproduzione.
La scatola sarà pure verde — ma il contenuto resta il vero problema.

Investigation by investigative journalism outlet IStories (EN version by OCCRP) shows that Telegram uses a single, FSB-linked company as their infrastructure provider globally.Telegram's MTProto protocol also requires a cleartext identifier to be prepended to all client-server messages.

Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Try to Woo Back Elon Musk
cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/40905844
With some prominent Democrats and liberal pundits arguing for the party to try to win Elon Musk back to its side, you have to ask: Is American politics simply a matter of who can best kiss the ass of narcissistic reactionary billionaires?

Spyware maker cuts ties with Italy after government refused audit into hack of journalist’s phone
therecord.media/paragon-spywar…
In a shocking first, Paragon has cut off ties with the Italian government after a special government committee essentially investigated themselves and concluded that no government spyware was used in the hacking of an Italian journalist. This comes after the same body refused to allow the spyware company to independently verify this conclusion.
The spyware manufacturer Paragon said Monday that it has ended its contract with Italy because a special government committee investigating alleged abuses there declined to let the company independently verify that Italian authorities did not hack into the phone of a well-known journalist."The company offered both the Italian government and parliament a way to determine whether its system had been used against the journalist," Paragon said in a statement issued to the Israeli publication Haaretz. Because Italian authorities “chose not to proceed with this solution, Paragon terminated its contracts in Italy,” the company said.
Last Wednesday, the Parliamentary Committee for the Security of the Republic (COPASIR) approved its report, which acknowledged that Italian foreign and domestic intelligence services used Paragon’s spyware product, Graphite, to target phones belonging to civil society activists.
The committee found no evidence the surveillance technology was used against journalist Francesco Cancellato, the report said. Cancellato — known for an investigative report documenting ties between Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and young Italian fascists — is among about 90 WhatsApp users who Meta notified about spyware targeting in January.
COPASIR said it searched the intelligence agencies’ databases for Cancellato’s number and did not find it. The report also said there is no evidence that Italian officials asked for permission to spy on Cancellato.
A spyware manufacturer has never before publicly acknowledged terminating a contract with a government client due to abuse.
