Billionaire island where Bezos lives lobbies state gov to flush its poop down neighbor town’s pipes
A recent skirmish over the 1 percent's feces is currently being worked out by the Florida state legislature.
One of the places that Jeff Bezos lives is a man-made island off the coast of Florida called Indian Creek Village. The island is predominantly populated by other billionaires and is colloquially known as the “Billionaire Bunker.” In fact, if you’re not a billionaire, it’s quite difficult to get in. The bridge from the mainland to the island is closed to the public and protected by armed guards and a sophisticated security system.
However, if the island is almost entirely cut off from the rest of humanity, the island’s inhabitants still seem intent on sharing one thing with members of the outside world: their piss and shit.
Indian Creek doesn’t have the underground infrastructure to deal with its own poop, so the solution it came up with was to funnel it through Surfside into a wider regional sewage system. Unfortunately, Surfside didn’t want the poop unless Indian Creek was willing to contribute $10 million to the community for future sewer system improvements. Indian Creek has referred to this request as “extortion.”

[Stephen Clark] Companies may soon pay a fee for their rockets to share the skies with airplanes
The text of a budget reconciliation bill released by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) last week calls for the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation, known as AST, to begin charging licensing fees to space companies next year. The fees would phase in over eight years, after which the FAA would adjust them to keep pace with inflation. The money would go into a trust fund to help pay for the operating costs of the FAA's commercial space office.While the FAA's commercial space office receives more federal funding today, the budget hasn't grown to keep up with the cadence of commercial spaceflight. SpaceX officials urged the FAA to double its licensing staff in 2023 after the company experienced delays in securing launch licenses.
Cruz's section of the Senate reconciliation bill calls for the FAA to charge commercial space companies per pound of payload mass, beginning with 25 cents per pound in 2026 and increasing to $1.50 per pound in 2033. Subsequent fee rates would change based on inflation. The overall fee per launch or entry would be capped at $30,000 in 2026, increasing to $200,000 in 2033, and then adjusted to keep pace with inflation.

Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out’
She finds the whole idea absurd. To Prof Marci Shore, the notion that the Guardian, or anyone else, should want to interview her about the future of the US is ridiculous. She’s an academic specialising in the history and culture of eastern Europe and describes herself as a “Slavicist”, yet here she is, suddenly besieged by international journalists keen to ask about the country in which she insists she has no expertise: her own. “It’s kind of baffling,” she says.In fact, the explanation is simple enough. Last month, Shore, together with her husband and fellow scholar of European history, Timothy Snyder, and the academic Jason Stanley, made news around the world when they announced that they were moving from Yale University in the US to the University of Toronto in Canada. It was not the move itself so much as their motive that garnered attention. As the headline of a short video op-ed the trio made for the New York Times put it, “We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the US”.
Starkly, Shore invoked the ultimate warning from history. “The lesson of 1933 is: you get out sooner rather than later.” She seemed to be saying that what had happened then, in Germany, could happen now, in Donald Trump’s America – and that anyone tempted to accuse her of hyperbole or alarmism was making a mistake. “My colleagues and friends, they were walking around and saying, ‘We have checks and balances. So let’s inhale, checks and balances, exhale, checks and balances.’ I thought, my God, we’re like people on the Titanic saying, ‘Our ship can’t sink. We’ve got the best ship. We’ve got the strongest ship. We’ve got the biggest ship.’ And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Novo Nordisk Loses Canadian Patent Protection For Blockbuster Diabetes Drug Over Unpaid $450 Fee
Pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk forfeited patent protection for semaglutide -- the active ingredient in blockbuster diabetes and weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy -- in Canada after failing to pay a $450 maintenance fee in 2019. The company had paid maintenance fees through 2018 but requested a refund for the 2017 fee, apparently seeking more time to decide whether to continue protecting the patent.

Music Production and Software Synthesizers/VST's under Linux
Hey everyone,
When I was previously on windows I had a lot of fun doing music production. My workflow took place in FL studio and used a lot of software synthesizers (VST files mainly).
After my switch to Linux, I am 95% better off. Everything is great except I have to rediscover a music workflow.
It's quite painful because I had licenses to some very expensive software synth libraries (The Arturia V collection for example). I have done some reading and have found that while it is possible to get FL studio working in Linux, it still doesn't have the greatest of results.
As far as that goes, I am not terribly concerned - Reaper, Bitwig, and other Linux DAW's exist and I am fine using those instead even if it means purchasing a license for the paid ones.
But the real problem is the software centers/Licenses/installations for my software synths. It would be such a shame and a waste of money if I couldn't get these working, but I don't know much about dealing with this on Linux, so I am appealing to your collective knowledge.
I wanted to ask if anyone has successfully installed the Arturia V collection on Linux for use in a DAW, and if so, what you think I should know about it. I thought I read somewhere about some software these could be emulated/installed through (not wine), but I'm just really open to hearing about recommended options for something like this if anyone knows.
Otherwise, I wanted to ask my musical Linux friends here what they have for VST's and what their workflow is on Linux, because it's always fun to develop new work flows.
Thanks

As others mentioned in this thread, yabridge running in a native Linux DAW is a great setup. I personally use Reaper with yabridge, Serum, and a few other vsts here and there.
For others who are more knowledgeable than me: is there any reason (engineering-wise) why these plugins are made for Windows? Are there not cross platform and open source frameworks that let you compile audio plugins for Windows + Mac + Linux with minimal effort?
I genuinely don't know anything about audio programming, I'm just curious.

sala dei libri inaugurata online con già pochi tomi, ma ufficialmente libreria digitale senza dei topi

sala dei libri inaugurata online con già pochi tomi, ma ufficialmente libreria digitale senza dei topi
Nel mentre che, come al solito, sclero medio-fortissimamente, dato che non riesco neanche per idea a mettere in ordine la mia libreria fisica (ma questo è un argomento per un diverso post, più incazzato), in questo ultimo paio di giorni mi è saltata in mente l’idea di perlomeno mettere in ordine quella digitale, di mia libreria… O meglio, piuttosto costruirla ufficialmente, visto che francamente il termine “libreria” non è il più adatto per la mia condizione pregressa in tal senso (che è ovvero formata di file sparsi in giro tra archiviazione cloud, torrent scaricati e non, disco del PC quasi pieno, e roba ancora diversa con di mezzo Kindle e tablet). 🤥Con buona pace di chi è contro l’illimitata condivisione libera dell’informazione (contro la “dittatura del dominio pubblico“), quindi, ho semplicemente scelto di creare un nuovo sito dalle implicazioni teoriche come sempre squisitamente discutibili, in cui manterrò una collezione più o meno curata di quelli che — un po’ perché mi faceva ridere, ma un po’ perché è tecnicamente una descrizione più accurata — in realtà non chiamo libri, bensì tomi, ossia volumi di cose… letteratura, saggistica, manga, manuali, PDF colorati; in generale roba intrigante che è bene preservare ordinatamente. 🤗
Quindi, prendendo semplicemente ispirazione dalla già per mano mia esistente Sala Museo Games (a partire dal generatore di sito statico, che anche in questo caso è stato Jekyll, dopo aver perso per l’ennesima volta tempo a cercare invano soluzioni alternative più flessibili ma non troppo), ho messo su il sito tomistico-topastico più epico che io abbia mai visto, TOMOSTASH: https://gamingshitposting.github.io/TomoStash/!!! (Si, è sul namespace di GamingShitposting perché mi seccava creare un’organizzazione GitHub separata; e poi, così fa ancora più ridere.) 🐭
A parte il solito gusto della collezione di dati pubblica, per cui come tutti sanno io ho per ottime ragioni un’ossessione (fosse anche solo il fatto che, stranamente, tendo sempre a perdere i dati che tengo privati nel mio disordine generale, mentre pubblicando sul web in qualche modo non perdo mai cose dentro una discarica di bit), questo sito mi sarà utile anche per eventuali recensioni future di mie letture stellari, dove potrò semplicemente linkare alla pagina di un dato tomo per l’acquisto da fonti ufficiali, download dei file digitali gratuiti da me accuratamente archiviati e conservati, o addirittura lettura in browser di diversi formati!!! 😇Queste fiturs sono ovviamente già lì, sul mio bel sito de’ tomi, ma a lungo termine ci sarebbero anche ancora ulteriori miglioramenti possibili che… spero verranno concretizzati, ma purtroppo Octt Del Breve Futuro è completamente imprevedibile anche per me (Octt Dell’Attuale Presente), quindi meglio non fare spoiler. E, per quanto ci sia il rischio che questo nuovo progetto secondario lastricato di buone intenzioni finisca come la Sala Museo Games, ossia bello e funzionante ma con una libreria stagnante, perché non ci sarà altra gente che vorrà contribuire su GitHub con manodopera dataentryante… spero se ne possa fare buon uso. 🚀
Vabbè… a parte sistemare la home del sito — che in foto qui è come dovrebbe essere, mentre chi lo va a vedere subito ora scopre che c’è dello scombinamento con l’allineamento della griglia, ops — e riempire la libreria con cadenza continua e qualità alta — che è la cosa più difficile, perché per i tomi che già si trovano su Internet non è facile procurarsi e valutare il file migliore possibile disponibile, ma è qualcosa di importante per una raccolta che si prefigge l’evitare che le menti esplodano navigando — alcune delle tecniche che mi invento qui sopra potrebbero essere utili anche per migliorare la Sala Museo Games, quindi… se andrà bene, non solo non avrò perso tempo, ma ne avrò guadagnato?! Boh! 😝

WhatsApp is adding ads to the Status screen
After years of providing free services without any bells attached, WhatsApp is now going to start showing ads on the popular chat app. To be clear, users will only see ads on the Status screen — the app’s take on Instagram’s Stories.So just like you see an ad after watching a few stories on Instagram, you will see ads on WhatsApp after you’ve scrolled through a few Status updates.
The company said that its ad mechanism uses signals like users’ country or city, language, and the channels they’re following, as well as data from ads that users interact with.
Meta said it is not using personally identifiable data, such as users’ phone numbers, messages, calls, and groups to serve targeted ads. If a user has added their WhatsApp account to Meta’s Account Center, the company will use their Account preferences to show ads.

Best multi-identity anonymity-focused email client
Hi, I'm looking for a mail client that is well suited for managing multiple identities and can easily handle routing everything over an anonymity network.
I would use Thunderbird, but I think when you take it online, it downloads from all your connected email accounts. I want to "go online" at will toward particular email addresses, in other words I do not want my upstream mail provider to be able to associate my accounts in any way, including access time, assuming there is a large enough other pool of people using the same client/anonymity network.
Are there any that are well made for this purpose? Otherwise I will use the mail frontend over Tor or something, but it would be nice to have a lightweight client-side application too so I can keep my emails downloaded and delete them from the server.

Ukrainian agents cause millions in damage during secret sabotage operation in Russia, HUR source says. Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) ignited an electrical substation during a sabotage operation in the Russian city of Kaliningrad, causing $5 million in damage and cutting electricity to a military production site, a source in HUR told the Kyiv Independent.
Russian strike hit Boeing office in Kyiv in deliberate attack on US business, FT reports. “This is not just an attack against Ukraine, but also an attack where American business is being hit,” said Andy Hunder, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine.
Russia reports Ukrainian drone attack on drone factory in Tatarstan. The drones were shot down, but the debris fell on a plant in the town of Yelabuga, where Shahed-type attack drones are manufactured, causing a fire.
Another 1,200 bodies of fallen Ukrainians return home after exchange with Russia. Law enforcement investigations and institutions from Ukraine’s Interior Ministry will examine and identify the bodies in the near future, the Coordinating Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War said.
Russian mass attack hits energy infrastructure in Poltava Oblast. Of the 183 drones Russia launched, Ukrainian air defense neutralized 159, Ukraine’s Air Force said. Ukraine also shot down 2 Kinzhal ballistic missiles and six out of eight cruise missiles.

Trump says he’s ‘open to’ Putin mediating between Israel, Iran. “Yeah, I would be open to it,” U.S. President Donald Trump said. “He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it. We talked about this more than his situation. This is something I believe is going to get resolved.”
‘Spit in face’ — Zelensky condemns Russia’s mass attack, dismisses idea of Putin as peacemaker. “This is Russia’s spit in the face of everything the international community is trying to do to stop this war … At the same time as Putin tries to portray himself as a mediator for the Middle East. The level of cynicism is staggering.”
North Korean losses exceed 6,000 in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, UK intelligence reports. North Korea has lost over 6,000 troops in Russia’s Kursk Oblast—more than half of its deployed force, according to a June 15 UK defense intelligence report.
Ukraine catches Russian agent secretly filming airfield, Ukrainian Security Service says. If found guilty, the 24-year-old native of Rivne Oblast faces life imprisonment for high treason.
Trump arrives at G7 summit ahead of high-stakes meeting with Zelensky. The anticipated third meeting, scheduled for June 17, will focus on sanctions, peace talks, weapons purchases, and economic relations — and may shed light on the future of U.S. support for Ukraine.
