It only took a few hours of summitry in the Canadian woods on Monday for President Donald Trump to decide he’d rather be elsewhere.
Returning to Washington on an overnight flight, Trump attributed his decision to abruptly abandon the Group of 7 summit to operational security, suggesting there could be prying ears among the fir trees listening to his secret conversations.
“I don’t believe in telephones, because people like you listen to them,” he told reporters on Air Force One. “Being on the scene is much better, and we did everything I had to do at the G7.”
The head of Iran’s atomic agency Mohammad Eslami has vowed to take legal action against UN nuclear agency chief Rafael Grossi’s “inaction” over the Israeli aggression against Iran’s nuclear sites.

Yeah, that only works for people who are brainwashed to follow whatever the current regime is pushing regardless of how much it hurts them personally, but especially if it doesn't hurt them directly in the very short term.
Long story. But it was by searching on its server while on its house. The pedo tried to incriminate the father (being from Venezuela and etc police here will try to arrest you just for being from there) first before i reported the evidence to police, it went viral on TV here but the father has been accused and incriminated by fascists political groups that doesn't care if hes a pedo or not (wich he is not, the baby of him was abused by this other person) they only want to generate fake news and get some clicks on their social media.
This is just a summary im not gonna write it all is long as i said lol
At the 27th Shanghai International Film Festival, the China Film Foundation and partners launched two major AI-driven initiatives under the Kung Fu Film Heritage Project: a large-scale effort to restore 100 classic martial arts films using artificial intelligence, and the unveiling of a brand-new animated feature, “A Better Tomorrow: Cyber Border,” billed as the world’s first fully AI-produced animated feature film.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4B set up as a print server, so it has to run 24/7. But it irks me that it's mostly idling.
I'd move my website to it, but I don't want to deal with it being open to the internet. The same goes for an e-mail server.
I was also thinking of running a Minecraft server on it. (Being able to play on the same world from different devices is kinda cool.) Alas, my RPi only has 4 GiBs of RAM. I worry that such a load would interfere with the print server.
There is an official Jellyfin plugin that adds DLNA support; content can then be accessed via any DLNA client including VLC (built in support). MPV can also use DLNA with it's own plugin.
One major advantage is that on the domestic TV channels here in the UK which have ad breaks (essentially all of them except the BBC) it removes the ads altogether and the programmes run seamlessly from the part before the ad break into the part after. I still smile every time it happens!
That sounds cool as heck! But I am very confused about how television broadcasting works in the UK. This only works with some sort of over-the-internet TV, right?
Sometimes I’ve found a site that gets partially blocked and causes a fuss. There’s an option to allowlist domain(s).
Also, some sites try to use ad domains to serve legit traffic, and some use legit domains to serve ads, so it’s not perfect, but it works pretty darn well overall.
Ive been using the OISD list for myself and family members for the past couple of years without issues. It’s specifically made to to be unnoticeable, by whitelisting hosts that would cause issues.
One thing to note is that it’s not a full replacement for adblockers, as DNS blockers can only block full hosts and not all ads and tracking are served from dedicated hostnames. Things like YouTube ads will be unaffected by DNS based blocking. It does really make a difference, though, including for apps with banners.
Not just ad blocker, but tracking blockers too. Also, if you've got a simple little device like a WiFi controlled outlet switch, and through PiHole you notice it "phoning home" frequently even though you're not using it.... that's a clue that you might not want to be keeping such things inside the same network where you check on your 401(k) account...
Running those adblockers on your devices is extremely insecure. They register as a VPN and intercept HTTPS traffic. They decrypt the encrypted traffic, filter it, and encrypt again meaning all your communications are signed by this single app's certificate. Not to mention any vulnerability would wreak havoc.
Does PiHole ever break a family member’s browsing, and then they don’t know to fix the issue because it would involve understanding opening up the PiHole web interface?
Yes, that does sometimes happen but the frequency depends on the blocking list used, or if multiple lists are used. When a family member encounters something like this, I can usually quite quickly identify the relevant blocked item and whitelist it.
Well, it takes a while longer to fix. The only times it’s happened (perhaps twice in 6 months) it’s been when a family member has been trying to buy something from a website. I can also access the Pi-hole remotely and—in the worst case scenario—just turn off blocking altogether for a short period.
It does look like there’s a way to use PiHole personally for those who share the network with those who don’t want it: leave default DNS server setttings alone except for your own devices.
Another vote for a music server. Gonic/Navidrome is pretty low power and super useful!
Home assistant is another option, but I'll say that if you're serious about home automation you'll quickly outgrow a Pi. It'll run if you only have a handful of devices though.
I like the music server idea! Where do you get your music? Many artists don't even sell CDs nowadays.
Home assistant is probably not for me. The house I live in is still very analogue. I enjoy not having to debug software when investigating why there's no hot water.
Plenty of artists still do sell CDs though. I often buy them at the merch stand at shows. Many also sell DRM free digital files on sites like Bandcamp. I also buy a lot of music at the thrift stores and rip them. If all else fails, there's always the high seas.
Almost every time I look on Bandcamp, the artist I am looking for isn't there. 🙁 Also, last time I tried buying something there they only accepted PayPal which I stopped using a while ago. But it seems they accept normal card payments now. Neat.
I buy CDs – I even bought a CD drive to rip them – but international shipping really kills me. I guess brick-and-mortar music shops are still a thing...
Weird. It must be that my taste is very indie/alternative. You can always also check if the artist has their own shop.
That’s how Jonathan Coulton does it. They Might Be Giants does it as well (in addition to a Bandcamp), but most of their stuff from 1990-1996 is stuck on their former label, so they can’t sell DRM-free audio, only vinyl and/or cassette.
There's also qobuz for your more mainstream music needs. And you can always use a YouTube downloaded like yt-dlp together with a music tagging tool like MusicBrainz Picard.
Plus de 100 millions de titres disponibles en streaming illimité en haute qualité sonore. Qobuz, c’est aussi le leader mondial du téléchargement Hi-Res 24-Bit.
For CDs, Amazon, ebay, or discogs. Digital music I usually get from the artist's webstore if possible, otherwise I'll buy it from Amazon or BandCamp.
One heads up, Buying and downloading digital music from Amazon is a pain in the butt if you have an Amazon Music subscription. Easy and straightforward though without.
Apple music is also possible but you have to burn the tracks to CD using itunes to move it out of Apple's ecosystem.
I also hear good things about Tidal but I've never used them.
Nowadays, Apple is only really big for digital music if you are (or were) already really deep in their ecosystem. Not sure I've heard of any devices that play nice with their DRM in a while and last I had looked (admittedly many years ago) they did not have a compatible app for Android.
Apple music was bigger back 15 or 20 years ago for digital downloads due in large part to the iPod, though I occasionally hear of some odd band or another that only releases their stuff on iTunes.
And since this is a linux community, as a heads up, iTunes is only marginally functional, last I heard, in linux. Apparently it can't detect connected devices. You'll probably need a Windows or Mac system to run iTunes if you want to go that route.
Yeah, I'm running home assistant with 43 Zigbee devices, 20 Wifi connected devices including about 150 channels of medium-high (once a minute) data logging (temperature, humidity, signal strength, sensor positions, radar occupancy info, etc.), and a Music Assistant instance, and while it's streaming net-radio I've only got 98% idle on my Pi's CPU, feeling the squeeze already /s.
Your Zigbee hub will run out of capacity long before the Pi. Solution: run multiple Zigbee hubs when you get to that point.
I have around 100 ZigBee devices, roughly 40 WiFi devices, three dozen integrations, Music Assistant, etc. And yeah I was feeling the squeeze. 🤷 Let alone security cameras....
Security cameras will do it, and the Pi5 doesn't have hardware decode for h.264 the way the Pi4 does, so that becomes a big drain, particularly if you don't drop the frame rates. I run a separate Pi (5, unfortunately) with a HAILO 8 hat (fortunately) for 5 video streams on Frigate - it needs some airflow to stay cool, but is only running about 30% CPU utilization for my streams.
Nextcloud seems a be an alternative to the G-Suite, did I get that right? That move to the cloud kinda missed me. I'm happy with LibreOffice and having everything stored locally.
Do you have experience with running a single-user Lemmy instance? I remember trying out some smaller instances, and they weren't as federated (i.e. I could see less content) than on the bigger ones.
PiHole, PiVPN, maybe a reverse proxy like nginx proxy manager to make connecting to your various web management portals you have an easy way to map it to a human readable url
Neat idea! If I were that orderly (I'm more of the mindset that what I don't remember probably wasn't important), I'd set up a normal website. I enjoy writing HTML by hand.
I've got Jellyfin running on an odroid, and it's pretty solid.
Not sure if you're the type to need access to your home network while away, but I also use a pi zero as my "login gateway"--I forward just port 22 to it from the WAN, and I have ssh set up to only allow logins with a key. I can set up dynamic port forwarding and tunnel through to my home network, and that pi zero has no other function (so even if I screw something else up on another server, I can still access my network).
You could also setup a git repo for your config files. That way you could revert changes, if you break something.
If you don't want do open your pi up to the internet you could take a look at tailscale. I use this script on my laptop and home pc to share files with sshfs while having any other traffic go through mullvad. Set this up on your pi with it as an exit node and you basically have access from anywhere.
Can I please ask why you prefer Adguard over Pihole?
The sd card in my raspberry 3b recently died, and my pihole with it. I am now using Adguard but not sure it's working well for me, consider going back. What's the winning argument for you?
Today I wanted to block everything with facebook and Instagram, it looks like I am hand-editing a config file to do so. And it applies to the entire network; AGH has no concept of user groups. Am I missing something really obvious?
let it run dwarf fortress from within the terminal, then ssh into it from wherever you are so you can play df from anywhere in the world. i did this at work.
Well it's a small processor and relatively efficient one at that so... how about going the opposite direction? How about measuring the power draw on idle? With other task? I don't actually know if that architecture handles that but I saw some things on the do developer.arm.com/documentatio…
+1 Joplin has been rock solid. It has features that make other apps a deal breaker for me. I host some work related notes, and share to a work account, that way not all of my notes are exposed to a work computer, yet don’t have to juggle accounts on my personal equipment. It’s wonderful.
A realtime acoustic bird classification system for the Raspberry Pi 5, 4B 3B+ 0W2 and more. Built on the TFLite version of BirdNET. - Nachtzuster/BirdNET-Pi
PiHole is a pretty light load, as are Home Assistant and Music Assistant. Frigate starts to make some heat, so don't expect to get a full blown video classification / recording system.
I use my Pi 4B as a DVR for movies and OTA television (MythTV).
There are other tools that handle playback better (OSMC/Kodi, etc) but Myth's configuration and handling of recording schedules is incredibly powerful. Conflict management works well and it can record multiple streams off the same tuner so conflicts are reduced in the first place.
As a general thing because I found myself trying to justify my Gear Acquisition Syndrome -- it's a good idea to split services across devices, rather than having some monolithic home server (which is where most people start). That way if one box goes down, it doesn't take down your whole stack.
If you have some machines scattered about doing different things, it might be time to consider logically grouping services and splitting them across that hardware.
Raspberry Pi I'm not sure if it's worth it. But in short you can advance some science with spare CPU hours. Should be possible to limit it so it doesn't heat up and use just a bit of the cycles depending on other load...
So I have a smart plug set up on my printer and print server (old HP 4P with separate network print server.
I have NodeRed watching my CUPS queues via HTTP scraping, and if it sees a job in the queue for that printer, it turns on the print server and printer via the smartplug over wifi. I have seen someone link a project that does something similiar.
I run a asterisk PJSIP VOIP server on my raspberry pi 5 8GB. I had to use the git and build and recompile and manually load all PJSIP modules because for some reason I couldn't even find an asterisk package on apt db for ARM64 for some fucking reason. Also had to containerize it within a docker because the shit couldn't properly compile without interfering with native system binaries. Shit is so fucking goated and can do PSTN via twilio trunking (call numbers outside of the phone server's number base so basically anyone as long as you make the phone numbers parsed in extensions.conf for each country you wanna call XD). Currently works within LAN but I am planning on making it accessible over the internet using my domain and a tunnel for UDP if possible or just a VPN since my router is being a removed with SIP packets rn. I am having trouble with that part but once it's done I can quite literally ditch any phone plan and use it. Twilio hardly even charges shit for voice rates 🤣🤣🤣. You could also self host your domain + email providing service and then connect that to thunderbird for full schizo-level privacy or sum shit. That's what I do to ditch web-email BS

No shit. They were calling for peace talks for about 3 years and now that they're steadily advancing and your sponsor is pulling your funding you want a ceasefire?
How would they justify it to their people (and the soldiers) after the escalations of the past few months, including the drone attacks on apartment blocks?
I'm not going to debate whatever you have to say. You are clearly misinformed.
But since you like Russian (dis)information so much, perhaps you should read the russian book called foundations of geopolitics. Specifically the section on Ukraine.
The Foundations of Geopolitics was written by a fascist who is more popular with European & American fascists than with his own government or people.
Maybe you should read The Grand Chessboard—written by someone who had actual influence in US government geostrategy—specifically the sections on Ukraine and the eastern expansion of NATO.
To be clear, I support Ukraine and Ukrainian sovereignty. I do not believe that Ukraine is run by Nazis or fascists.
I'm very much aware who Alexander durgan is. My point was that this urgently required special military operation has been a pre-planned eugenist and fascist operation that has been planned by the Russian government since the '90s. You know 35 years. Kind of invalidates the whole idea that Russia is only reacting to on the ground facts and movements.
Ukraine (except Western Ukraine) should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible according to Western political standards. As mentioned, Western Ukraine (comprising the regions of Volynia, Galicia, and Transcarpathia), considering its Catholic-majority population, are permitted to form an independent federation of Western Ukraine but should not be under Atlanticist control.
You seem to be very confused. I am stating that Dugan has been leading Putins foreign policy because the things that Dugan wrote for the most part have been executed by Putin's governments.
Dugin is apparently quite popular among Russian brass
Dugan is for a fact speaking completely out of his ass, it doesn't change the fact that he's loved and respected and his words are preached across the Russian federation.
I used to know a few moscovites and discuss politics but that was before Ukraine happened
I’m not confused. Dugin is an utter clown whom Putin wouldn’t even give the time of day. He’s not leading shit, except other Western crypto-fascist grifters like Caleb Maupin.
Caleb Todd Maupin (born 30 December 1987 in Orrville, Ohio) is a LaRouchite patriotic socialist journalist, political activist, and cult founder from the United...
Again, you seem confused. I agree with you that Dugan is a clown. Where I am disagreeing with you is the fact that he is uninfluential. If he was a nut job as you propose and treated as such by his fellow Russians, then his plans would not see the light of day let alone battlefield action.
Despite Western governments and Western media claims to the contrary, Dugin’s plans haven’t seen the light of day, Brzezinski’s have: his neocon plans to expand NATO eastward and leverage Ukrainian Banderites, to weaken & isolate Russia, and ideally to balkanize it. Ukraine is a pawn on Brzezinski’s chessboard. This is the war the United States has wanted for decades, as explained in the book he wrote around when he was Carter’s National Security Advisor. Meanwhile Dugin’s job title may as well be social media influencer. Even Wikipedia doubts his state influence.
We were lied to about the Iraq war, we were lied to about the Ukraine war, and they’re already lying to us about the Iran war.
Ukraine NATO version of a ceasefire proposal is so Ukraine can dig new defensive lines, and let western weapons production catch up with donations. Conducting terrorist operations day before meetings doesn't put Russia in a good mood either.
Zelensky power/bribery clinging does not bring peace to Ukraine any time soon.

I really want the pandemic—the hundreds of millions with Long Covid, the tens of millions dead—to mean something. Like cleaner indoor air, normalised masking, funding for post-viral illnesses. Instead, we got mask bans, disability cuts and an anti-vaxxer in the White House
This Review outlines the current state of scientific evidence on long COVID, discusses its impacts on patients, health systems, economies and global health metrics, and proposes a forward-looking research and policy roadmap.
I live in a pretty progressive place (for the US anyway) and I was so blown away with how popular the "get everything back to normal" push was by a lot of people.
This isn’t happening because your average Joe gobbled up anti-vax propaganda. This is happening because the capitalist elite saw an economic slowdown during lockdowns and funded and pushed all sorts of conspiracies. The anti-vaxx, COVID denialist movement didn’t emerge grassroots. It was systematically pushed and promoted by the most powerful people to protect their interests.

It also granted the US government a "golden share" in the company, giving the government say over key decisions, including the transfer of jobs or production outside of the US, and certain calls to close or idle factories.

This is not currently possible in piefed. However, it is a good idea and a feature of lemmy that I have used on occasion. I think this only really makes sense when making a "Link" post in piefed parlance.

I think this makes the most sense for Link posts. Basically, allow users to provide a link to a thumbnail image to use for a post.
Salesforce will increase prices by an average of 6% across key products including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Field Service, and select Industry Clouds.

Renewals before that date can postpone the higher rates for about a year.
And by haters I just mean folks who think $12B isn’t a low enough cap…
We are not focused on class war between the majority and the 1%, because (by the numbers) they are not the direct threat to the sustainability of the system. They are not where our money has gone to.
The difference between someone with even $12B and Musk level wealth is the difference between a single story house and a 36 story skyscraper. We are focused on tearing down the skyscraper and taxing the house appropriately. To be frank, the wealth of people with less than a billion dollars is not on our radar as a problem. In contrast, we would like their help in tearing down the skyscrapers. That is the point of our community. We are only after the excess wealth of 250 people in the world.
So again, I welcome you 100% to the tent if you are interested, but politically our goals will always remain simple and be augmented by simple arguments. If that means we are not the community for you, I understand. We’re seeking to act rationally in pursuit of a more ethical world, not to demand ethical perfection from the outset. To be honest I personally believe that ethical perfectionism, infighting, and shrinking the tent are major reasons why progressive movements to rectify wealth inequality constantly fail.
Louis Sachar once wrote an entire book based around the concept that “if you want to fight your way upstream in a river, you have to take small steps”. We arent looking at the end of the river, were looking at the first small steps. (Also that book is a great sequel to Holes for anyone who has never heard of it)
Our argument may seem reductive, but anyone can see the simple nature of the problem. The skyscrapers are a head and shoulders above the single story house. Its a simple problem to see, and an exponential one. 6 people in the world owned half of all the money before covid. Now the problem is even worse. I would venture that the richest 250 people in the world probably own 3/4ths of all the money at this point, at least.
Money was made to move. When that money is parked it doesnt change hands. When it doesnt change hands it doesnt get taxed, things dont get bought. When that happens the government doesnt have the resources it needs, and the economy goes out of whack as well. Its a simple problem that ties into literally every issue imaginable just on that basis. Climate change? We could use more resources to fight it. Materials science to solve the plastic problem? More resources to fight it. People cant afford rent? More resources to pay them. People cant afford healthcare? Do you wish we had bridges to drive over that arent 60+ years old? Are you tired of paying for a fishing/hunting license to subsidize conservation? Everything big and small is impacted in some way by the wealth of the richest 250 people not moving, both inside the US and around the world.
The goal of the movement is not to change the system, really. We arent arguing for moving away from capitalism, even if many of us would like to see that. What we are arguing for is fixing the most unsustainable problem within the system we already have, so that we can continue to fight for a better system in general.
A primary goal is to keep the tent as wide as is possible. The point being that we are fighting specifically on this one issue that should, at least hypothetically, bridge the gap between even people who want radical change and people who want to see no change at all. For people who want radical changes, this is the first step in the right direction. For people who want to see no change at all, this is a step that will prevent the collapse of what they dont want to see changed.
For anyone too broke to afford cost of living, this is what will raise them up to afford a base level of comfort. For the 1%ers, this is what will ensure they get to keep the standard of living they already have, as well as make a shit ton of money off the rest of us. If anything I see this community as an incubation for a political bridge party that can actually bring enough people under one tent to affect change, and breakthrough the various distractions that the richest people in the world rely on so we dont come after them. Red vs blue, black vs white, majority vs 1%ers, and so on and so forth. Its all just bullshit to keep us from paying attention to the 0.0001% who have almost all of the money.
This isnt about redistribution of much of anything from the 1% at large. Its about dislodging the 5 trillion dollars that sit largely in the hands of like 10 people. Just that $5T moving would be enough to allow the rest of the 1% unaffected. Thats like 1/3rd of the federal deficit.
The point of targeting that $5T specifically is because its $5T that is virtually guaranteed to never move otherwise. Its just feel good money for the mega billionaires, which even 1%ers cant relate to nor justify.
We are focused on making the system we have, flawed as it is, a base level of sustainable in the interest of everybody. Capitalism with the bumper guards up. Regardless of what they would want to see next.
To analogize: if were all in one car together right now that is a hunk of shit, and we got a flat tire, the goal for us is to fix the tire so we can make it down the road. Some might want to abandon the car right now even if it means chaos. Some might want to fix the flat so we can get a different car. And some might want to fix the flat so we can keep driving the same hunk of shit. But the goal of our community would be centered on fixing the tire, to avoid chaos and to leave our options open for the future
I wonder: Is there a site that hosts universal wish lists? I think everyone should have one. It’d be great if it’s not just stuff to buy, but also to do or say, etc.
I mean these are also two different types of cars. But it is actually so weird to see even two cars of the same type made in different times next to each other. It’s like somebody unintentionally moved the scale slider of the level editor.
I don't want to defend the overly supersized truck too much, but I do want to point out that even these are two different class of vehicles. Sure, you can cram 4 smallish people into that old Ford Ranger, but nobody is going to be comfortable or happy about it. Also, that small ranger has far less cargo and towing capacity.
Of course, a good chunk of truck owners do not need that much capacity and big trucks are just a toy/status symbol to them. Which is stupid. But there are use cases where those trucks are actually needed, and a small Ford Ranger won't cut it.
That said, I do wish we could get more small pickup trucks again. The maverick is a good start.
For these kinds of comparisons people have to cherry pick and cannot compare similar class trucks because similar class trucks haven't really changed in 30 years
The 2025 is 6 inches shorter, barely an inch taller, and barely an inch wider. Or in terms of percentages: -3.1%, +1.1%, +1.2% respectively
What has changed in 30 years is it was common back then for an average consumer to buy a "regular" cab two door truck with a 6 foot box, four door behemoths were rare. If you wanted a 4 door truck you had to get the F350
Today it's the other way around, it's rare to see a single cab F150 and now you can get a 4 door F150
Yeah, the problem isn't that the big trucks exist. There is a place for them, always will be. But they shouldn't be a commuter vehicle, the majority of owners never use them for their intended purpose, and even those that do need a truck rarely need one of the size they get.
last month, a federal appeals court tossed out their victory and declared that only the federal government can sue over violations of the Voting Rights Act, a devastating blow to the ability of these tribes—and others in the region—to seek legal recourse.
In North Dakota as elsewhere, Native groups face a triple threat on voting rights: judges targeting the VRA, Trump officials hostile to enforcing it, and a funding crunch depleting their work.
NRK^[Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation] will discontinue its teletext service on August 20 due to the risk of serious technical issues. Over the course of the past few years, the service has become increasingly difficult for NRK to maintain. The technology is old and very demanding to keep in working order with the rest of NRK's system.
—"Most people are surprised when they find out that teletext still exists. But we know there are still some people who use it to this day," says Audun Aas, product development manager for nrk.no.
Aas says that NRK is doing its best to help teletext users find the information they're used to receiving through the service, elsewhere.
NRK's teletext service celebrated its 40th anniversary two years ago. During the service's 30th anniversary, it was predicted not to last another decade.
::: spoiler Did you know? * Black and white TV sets were still common in 1983. NRK had a monopoly on TV broadcasts, but no way to provide quick updates on news and other information. * Teletext was initially only available for a few hours in the evening, namely from the children's programming block to the end of broadcasts before midnight. * Because the terminals NRK used to type teletext were imported from England, the letters Æ and Ø had to be replaced with Ä and Ö in teletext respectively. * A typo in a teletext warning about toxins in blue mussels caused many Norwegians to fall ill in the summer of 1994. * The invitation to the NRK teletext editorial staff's 10 year anniversary — including the event's bill of fare — was accidentally shown on teletext, prompting an apology via Dagbladet^[Newspaper associated with the Liberal Party until 1977. Sold from the Berner Group to Aller Media in 2013.]. * Teletext was for many years most popular among 20-39 year olds. :::
42 years of teletext
The Norwegian parliament resolved in April of 1982 that NRK would establish a teletext service. The service launched on February 2, 1983.
Establishing a teletext service proved to be such a daunting task that the chief editor of Arbeiderbladet^[Newspaper today known as Dagsavisen. Associated with the Labor Party at the time; became party-independent in 1999 and is now owned by Mentor Media.] was brought on to lead the work.
Surveys show that use of teletext has gradually declined in recent years, with only 3% of Norway's population using teletext as of 2024.
On August 20, 2025, the service will end after 42 years.

[There's a video from 1979 attached here explaining what teletext is, but I don't feel like translating it right now. The key takeaway is maybe that NRK was already experimenting with teletext by that point, but hadn't officially launched their service yet.]
All information currently available on teletext is also available on nrk.no.

The pedo tried to incriminate the father (being from Venezuela and etc police here will try to arrest you just for being from there) first before i reported the evidence to police, it went viral on TV here but the father has been accused and incriminated by fascists political groups that doesn't care if hes a pedo or not (wich he is not, the baby of him was abused by this other person) they only want to generate fake news and get some clicks on their social media.

So many instances of ecological terrorism because somebody thought it'd be cute to bring an invasive species to a different country
