Low Tech Magazine: How to Dress and Undress your Home
A return to vernacular buildings, which maintain interiors at a comfortable temperature through architectural design rather than energy-intensive technical installations, could significantly reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling. However, it’s not a short-term solution: it would require a large amount of time, money, and energy to replace the existing building stock.Fortunately, history offers an alternative solution that can be deployed more quickly and with fewer resources: textiles. Before the Industrial Revolution, people added a temporary layer of textile insulation to either the interior or the exterior of a building, depending on the climate and the season. In cold weather, walls, floors, roofs, windows, doors, and furniture were insulated with drapery and carpetry. In hot weather, windows, doors, facades, roofs, courtyards, and streets were shaded by awnings and toldos.
Removable insulation can achieve significant energy savings with much more flexibility than permanently enclosed insulation materials. Because modern insulation methods require construction permits and structural interventions to a building, they are expensive, time-consuming, and only accessible to home owners. Furthermore, modern insulation methods are ill-suited for older buildings, in which case they are often not financially and energetically sustainable.

Building the American Brownshirts
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” that the House passed is objectionable for many reasons, most obviously because it is the most regressive economic bill of my lifetime, the class war condensed into in legislative form. Its tax policies and spending cuts will erode the well being of Americans slowly for decades to come. Its most immediate destabilizing impact, however—the one that has the potential to push our democracy to the brink—is its vast expansion of the Homeland Security budget, which will be used to build ICE into a huge national army of loyalists under Trump’s control. The money to build America’s brownshirts is in the pipeline. Whereas our military-industrial complex is a threat to the rest of the world, this force will be a direct threat to all of us in the USA. This is the Proud Boys, at national scale, with badges. It is a very dangerous prospect.Everything I am writing about here has been previously reported in the past few weeks since the House sent the bill to the Senate. But, from my vantage point, the public has not quite grasped just how horrifying a precipice we are on. When you consider the scale of protest already unleashed by the ICE raids in LA; Trump and Stephen Miller’s clear intent to double and triple and quadruple down on the ICE raids and crush the protests with military force; Trump’s unhinged declaration yesterday that “we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York” to achieve “the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History”; and then connect this deep well of poisonous intent with the staggering expansion of ICE’s size and scope that will occur if this bill’s funding comes through, what you will see is the setup for not just a mass deportation program, but a violent national clash between a militarized, government-sanctioned army of Trump loyalists and everyone else.
How much does ICE stand to grow if this bill’s funding comes through? A lot. The all-in costs of deportation over the next decade could reach a trillion fucking dollars, according to this Cato analysis. That includes the border wall and a huge expansion of prisons for immigrants, to a size nearly on par with the federal prison system.

Apple and Google Still Have a Chinese VPN Problem
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/36828953
ArchivedThe Apple and Google app stores continue to offer private browsing apps that are surreptitiously owned by Chinese companies, more than six weeks after they were identified in a Tech Transparency Project report. Apple and Google may also be profiting from these apps, which put Americans’ privacy and U.S. national security at risk, TTP found.
[...]
After the Financial Times asked Apple for comment on these findings, two of the apps linked to Qihoo 360—Thunder VPN and Snap VPN—were pulled from its app store. When TTP checked again in early May, another Qihoo 360-connected app called Signal Secure VPN had been quietly removed. But two other apps linked to Qihoo 360—Turbo VPN and VPN Proxy Master—remained available in the U.S. Apple App Store, along with 11 other Chinese-owned apps identified in TTP’s report.
The Google Play Store, meanwhile, offered four Qihoo 360-connected apps—Turbo VPN, VPN Proxy Master, Snap VPN, and Signal Secure VPN—as well as seven other Chinese-owned VPNs identified in TTP’s initial report.
The linked article lists several China-owned VPN apps identified by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP).

Israel attacks civilian infrastructure in Iran as Netanyahu calls for regime change
Israel’s onslaught on Iran, which began Friday night, entered a new phase on Sunday. Having destroyed large portions of Iran’s air defenses, attacked military and nuclear facilities, Israel has now shifted its targets to civilian infrastructure, including water treatment facilities and energy infrastructure.
The Israeli military reported striking more than 80 targets in Iran overnight Saturday and Sunday. “Tehran residents reported the heaviest wave of attacks yet on Sunday afternoon, with explosions ringing out every half hour,” the Washington Post reported.
Among the targets were water treatment facilities in northern Iran, whose destruction sent waves of sewage flowing in Tehran’s streets. On Saturday, Israel attacked the main oil refinery in Tehran and South Pars, the world’s largest natural gas field.
On Sunday, Israel expanded its strikes to airports, manufacturing plants and police stations.
Commenting on the shift, the Post wrote, “The targets appear to indicate an expansion of Israel’s war aims… By striking Iranian industry and infrastructure, Israel is aiming to degrade the Iranian state, further damage the country’s already-reeling economy, and possibly trigger regime change, according to analysts and former officials.”
Richard Nephew, a former State Department and White House official, told the Washington Post, “It sure does feel like this is a regime change ending, rather than taking out the nuclear program.” He added, “Israel may have decided that the best way to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon was to topple the Iranian regime.”
In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked whether “regime change” in Iran was a goal of his government. Netanyahu replied that it “could certainly be the result because the Iranian regime is very weak.”...

[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.

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.
