Tulsi Gabbard Is A Warmongering Asshole
To be clear, when Gabbard made this statement she was not voicing her personal opinion, she was repeating verbatim the findings laid out in the 2025 Threat Assessment of the intelligence agencies of the United States, which said “We continue to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that Khamenei has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003, though pressure has probably built on him to do so.”Rather than push back on the president’s crude dismissal, Gabbard took to social media to tell everyone that Trump is actually right about Iran, and that everyone who thought she said Iran isn’t seeking a nuclear weapon is imagining things.
This kind of post-truth society behavior, where one tells people they’re not seeing what’s directly in front of their eyes, is the kind of thing you only expect from Donald Trump and his most obsequious bootlickers. And what we are witnessing here is Tulsi Gabbard getting down on her knees and putting tongue to leather.
Tulsi Gabbard is a warmongering asshole, and a liar. She is helping to deceive the world into yet another horrible middle eastern war, and if she and her fellow warmongers succeed her words will go down in history as among the most depraved lies ever told.
This fraudster has built an entire political career out of pretending to oppose war and militarism in order to win the support of Americans who are sick of pouring blood and treasure into the US slaughter machine, opportunistically drifting to whatever corner of the political spectrum would offer her the most power, and then when she got as high as she can go she sold all her stated principles to the furthest extent possible at the earliest opportunity.

How LLMs could be insider threats
- We stress-tested 16 leading models from multiple developers in hypothetical corporate environments to identify potentially risky agentic behaviors before they cause real harm. In the scenarios, we allowed models to autonomously send emails and access sensitive information. They were assigned only harmless business goals by their deploying companies; we then tested whether they would act against these companies either when facing replacement with an updated version, or when their assigned goal conflicted with the company's changing direction.
- In at least some cases, models from all developers resorted to malicious insider behaviors when that was the only way to avoid replacement or achieve their goals—including blackmailing officials and leaking sensitive information to competitors. We call this phenomenon agentic misalignment.
- Models often disobeyed direct commands to avoid such behaviors. In another experiment, we told Claude to assess if it was in a test or a real deployment before acting. It misbehaved less when it stated it was in testing and misbehaved more when it stated the situation was real.
- We have not seen evidence of agentic misalignment in real deployments. However, our results (a) suggest caution about deploying current models in roles with minimal human oversight and access to sensitive information; (b) point to plausible future risks as models are put in more autonomous roles; and (c) underscore the importance of further research into, and testing of, the safety and alignment of agentic AI models, as well as transparency from frontier AI developers. We are releasing our methods publicly to enable further research.

Alcohol should have labels warning drinkers of cancer risks, charities say
In February, the World Health Organization's European office declared: "Clear and prominent health warning labels on alcohol, which include a specific cancer warning, are a cornerstone of the right to health."In a report, it urged governments to introduce them to help reduce alcohol-related harm and raise awareness of the link between drinking and cancer.
Dr Gauden Galea, a WHO adviser, said in the report that policymakers should "resist all the pressure that will inevitably come from commercial actors" who claim such warnings do not work.

Warning have been on tobacco most of my life. I'm 53 and remember them as a teen ager.
Also remember no one really paying any attention. Banning advertising had the largest effect. As it was clear warning while companies could still advertise made no sense.
Then banning display in stores. Finally banning children born after a set date.
In no way we're the warning the main cause of the drip in use.
They are part of a working strategy, which also includes stuff like
- advertising bans
- sales only in dedicated stores off-limits to anyone under age
- taxes
Agreed. But that strategy did not start until very recently.
Warnings have been used for 40 plus years alone. With very little effect.
Warnings on tobacco have done nothing, rising prices have. Noone I know pays any attention to the actual cancer lung imagea on the packs.
It's there, but I don't actually see it apart from maybe once a month.

For Android:
1. Use ADB (or similar tools) to remove Facebook, Meta, Twatter, Instagram, etc., from all your Android devices.
2. Use a tool like RethinkDNS or other firewall to block block block. If using RethinkDNS, apply good blockers too.
3. If using a firewall that uses your VPN slot, setup wireguard to use your VPN host
4. Have different browsers on your device e.g. Brave, IronFox, Cromite. Follow online guides to set up.
5. Use DuckDuckGo, SearXNG or Mullvadleta to search
6. Never access Facebook, Insta, Twitter etc. from your mobile device. In fact, if you have the right firewall / blocking set up, you simply cannot.
6. Do as much online shopping from a laptop / PC with a secure browser. Also, have about 3 different browsers there too.
7. If you MUST use Facebook etc., only do it from a browser on your laptop / PC.
Just my personal strategy. My firewall logs show its quite effective but not fully impervious.

I had to say goodbye to my closest companion today.
Riley entered my life in 2008. I still remember that day. I found her on Craigslist, paid a $60 "rehoming fee", and she sat on my lap as I drove home with my new puppy. I was young and broke, living alone, and could barely afford my bills. It was an irresponsible decision to get a dog at that point in life, but I'm so glad that I was able to make it work.
She was a mix of two retrievers: Her mother was a chocolate lab and her father was a golden retriever. Somehow all of their puppies were black.
I had some experience with dogs before her, but I did not know about the amount of affection that retrievers are capable of. As I was getting to know her, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she loved hugs so much, she even initiated them! Literally the sweetest dog I've ever met.
She was very smart. I was able to teach her most of her tricks in like ~10 mins each, while heating up frozen pizzas or whatever cheap garbage I ate back then.
She was the most consistent part of my bumpy path in life. She has been with me through tough breakups, my parents' deaths, career changes, and many other ups and downs that come with adulthood.
She's also the oldest retriever I've ever met. She would have been 17 years old next week.
We were together until her last breath. With my hand on her chest, I felt her final heartbeat.
And I will remember her until mine.
Riley was such a good girl.
JD Vance refers to Sen. Alex Padilla as 'José Padilla' in remarks blasting Democrats during L.A. visit
José Padilla was convicted on charges of supporting al Qaeda after he was initially accused of planning a "dirty bomb" attack in the U.S. He was eventually sentenced to 21 years in prison.
JD Vance bashed Democrats at the state, local and national levels Friday during his visit to Los Angeles, accusing top California officials of encouraging violent protesters and Sen. Alex Padilla, whom he referred to as "José Padilla," of engaging in "political theater."
“I was hoping José Padilla would be here to ask a question. But, unfortunately, I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t the theater, and that’s all it is,” Vance said. “It’s pure political theater. These guys show up. They want to be captured on camera doing something.”
Vance's comments referred to an incident last week in which federal law enforcement agents handcuffed Padilla after he interrupted a news conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Padilla was forcibly removed from the event but not arrested.

The United Kingdom government has just published draft legislation seeking to “reform” key disability-related aspects of its complex social security system. While the government claims its moves “will protect the most vulnerable,” in reality its plans to cut £4.5 billion in disability-linked benefits by 2030 will have a devastating impact on people’s rights.The government’s own analysis shows that up to 800,000 people will no longer be eligible to receive PIP and that the changes could lead to 200,000 more people (50,000 of them children) in poverty by 2030. Organizations working on social security and disability rights, including Citizens Advice, the Disability Charities Consortium, and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, have warned of the poverty the cuts will create.

Sandy got a bath today! I do not expect her to be this white and clean the next time I see her lol
She got crazy zoomies after her bath, rolled in the dirt, and ran around the round pen for a few minutes before she wore herself out. She had a great time and lots of people really liked seeing her enjoying herself like that lol. This pic was taken a few hours later after she dried completely and I did her braids and brushed her.
She got really spicy when I tried to clean one of her back hooves and almost kicked me in the head. I gave her a lil smack on the butt (not hard at all) and yelled at her and she stopped misbehaving and let me clean her hoof. I think she might have a little bit of arthritis in that leg and that's what had her so uncomfortable until I was able to get her foot held and supported properly. If she continues to show that discomfort, I'll get some horse arthritis gel to try out.

GrapheneOS vs LineageOS vs iodéOS
GrapheneOS vs LineageOS vs iodéOS
According to Comparison of Android-based Operating Systems, GrapheneOS seems to be better than LineageOS and iodéOS in every aspect.
I'm wondering if there is any downside of GrapheneOS. What am I giving up for using GrapheneOS instead of LineageOS and iodéOS (besides GrapheneOS only support pixel)?
In terms of privacy, security, customizability and functionality, which OS would you recommend and on what device would you recommend using it?
Answered questions
- Does LineageOS supports muti profile like GrapheneOS (I thought all AOSP supports multiprofile feature)
- yes lineageos.org/Introducing-the-…
- Does LineageOS supports full device encryption using some open source app? (like veracrypt)
- @https://lemmy.world/u/who@feddit.org Yes, full-device encryption is built in to Android these days.
- Can LineageOS supports Sandboxed Google Play with some tweaks?
- no
Some questions
- If there is backdoor planted in pixel (which in my opinion is very likely), then I guess the “risk of an adversary gaining physical access to the phone” is quite equal for both of OS?
- lemmy.world/u/upstroke4448@lem… - It is highly unlikely there is a backdoor in the Pixel. It’s just not worth the risk for Google. Not only are the phones highly scrutinized by experts but Google has a million other legal ways to get info off your phone for 99% of users who use the stock OS.
- @benjaminoakes lemmy.world/u/benjaminoakes (how do I @ another user in lemmy???) and I qoute "Graphene is likely to run into issues soon. They were relying on the AOSP source tree including Pixel-specific files. Google isn’t releasing those anymore, so GrapheneOS would have to reverse engineer or extract the needed files somehow."
- should I be concerned about this issue? Will it affect my experience in the next 5 years ? (I usually update my device in 5 year cycle)
thanks a million
like this
GrapheneOS is better in principle, but it requires that you (directly or indirectly) give money to Google and depend on Google-controlled hardware, both of which are dealbreakers for some people.
GrapheneOS also depends on hardware support files from Google, which are no longer readily available, making its future unclear.
LineageOS supports a greater variety of devices. The privacy/hardening features aren't as strong as GrapheneOS, but many people find it good enough when:
- Google Play Services are not installed
- Commercial apps are not installed (open-source apps from F-Droid are the usual alternative)
- There is little risk of an adversary gaining physical access to the phone
ManyThanks!
I still have a few questions:
- Does LineageOS supports muti profile like GrapheneOS (I thought all AOSP supports multiprofile feature)
- Can LineageOS supports Sandboxed Google Play with some tweaks?
- Does LineageOS supports full device encryption using some open source app? (like veracrypt on windows)
- If there is backdoor planted in pixel (which in my opinion is very likely), then I guess the “risk of an adversary gaining physical access to the phone” is quite equal for both of OS?
- I don't know, but according to this page, it seems there is some kind of profile support. I assume it's part of the Android Open Source Project.
- (Good thing I noticed that you edited your comment to insert this question.) I am not aware of an effective Google Play sandbox from any OS other than GrapheneOS. It doesn't affect me either way, since I don't use Google services.
- Storage encryption is built in to Android these days. I don't remember whether the latest version does it with file-based encryption or full-device encryption. (Both have been used in the past.)
- It depends on who your adversary is. For example, a Google employee or a government might have remote access to a back door planted in a Pixel, but not to your boot loader. On the other hand, a TSA employee might be able to pwn your phone if granted physical access, but unable to do anything remotely. Pixels are generally more resistant to to physical access attacks because they allow user-supplied keys and boot loader re-locking, but there are companies that sell tools aiming to bypass even these protections, so I wouldn't bet my life on them.

BBC pulls Gaza medics documentary due to impartiality concerns - BBC News
The [documentary] production company's founder, Ben de Pear, said earlier this week the BBC had "utterly failed" and that journalists were "being stymied and silenced".BBC News understands the decision to shelve the documentary was taken on Thursday, following public comments by De Pear at the Sheffield Documentary Festival, and another of the film's directors, journalist Ramita Navai, who appeared on Radio 4's Today discussing the war in Gaza.
Navai told the programme Israel had "become a rogue state that's committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing and mass murdering Palestinians". Israel has denied accusations of war crimes and genocide in Gaza.
TLDR: BBC refuses to run documentary about doctors in Gaza they comissioned because someone involved it is says Israel is committing ethnic cleansing. I think this is one of the most obvious examples on how biased the BBC is towards this situation.

Happy 2nd Birthday Ani.Social! (+ PieFed announcement)
Happy 2nd birthday! o(≧∇≦o)
It's June 21 which means Ani.Social turns another year older! Thanks to everyone who has stuck around and to all the newcomers this month! Unfortunately, I never really tracked our stats but the last birthday post mentioned that we were just a bit under 1000 users and now we're at 1600 with 180+ active users per month! But this is a federated platform, so we have users from all over the Fediverse participating in our communities!
I partially started Ani.Social as a kind of personal research project. Learning about the Fediverse as a practical approach toward a democratic social media is really interesting. For the past four years of my life, I have also been generally obsessed with thinking about and consuming Japanese media more analytically and theoretically. So combining that and the Fediverse, Ani.Social was born!
It's been really interesting to learn about how different people consume this so-called "Japanese media" and what kinds of discourse are produced, especially from people who willingly spend time on alternative spaces like the Fediverse.
With that said...
PieFed announcement!
For the past month, I have been testing PieFed, another Reddit-like Fediverse platform. I think it has a lot of potential and its been receiving a lot of development efforts from the Lemmy community lately. Compared to Lemmy, it's both ahead and behind depending on which areas you look. What I particularly like about PieFed is how experimental it is, and that's sort of what I need to further my research.
Right now, PieFed has flairs, spoilers, polls, topics, feeds (like multireddits), better mod and reporting tools.
You can test the future Piefed instance at pt.nyaa.social/. The tentative instance domain is Nyaa.Social and will likely share themes with Ani.Social but hopefully it'll be broader than just "anime and its related industries".
I would like to know what other people think, and what kind of ideas we can explore in Nyaa.Social. I don't think it should simply be "an alternative to Lemmy" or "an alternative to Ani.Social." It's a great opportunity to do things differently, and see what works and what doesn't.
There's no official launch date for the new PieFed instance but the earliest you can expect it is July 7. In the meantime, I would like to gather as much feedback on what kind of platform this new instance could be.
Here are a few screenshots of what the place looks like at the moment:
I should mention that Ani.Social is not going anywhere! It will continue to run and it will still be my top priority to make it a stable and easy experience for everybody even after the PieFed instance launches.
Thanks again mods, posters, commenters, donors, lurkers, and everyone else! If you have questions, feel free to ask! Enjoy the summer season! (\^o\^)/

Dual Boot dilemma
Hello there,
I just want to buy a new gaming system, laptop, because I want to be mobile. There is only one game I cant give up that is league of legends. So I'm searching a manufactor, which can handle dual boot perfectly. I mean everytime I boot into windows and want to reboot into linux again, so my entry is gone (refind, systems and grub). Maybe there is a brand which separate two OS Hardware wise or has a BIOS espacially for such a case?

- les threads sont galères.
- personne ne peut créer de lui-même un sujet. Genre vous vouliez parlez de votre nouveau logo...vous ne pouvez pas créer un salon dédié.
- l'UI d'élément est malgré tous leur effort, est horrible à utiliser.
- le serveur synapse (matrix) est lourd à utiliser et gourmand en ressource.
Pourquoi Zulip ?
- meilleure organisation des discussions et vous serez en autonomie.
- discussion simultannéee avec 5 canaux différent.
- une seule app.
- c'est leger.
Ça vous demandera un temps d'adaptation. Mais comme PieFed et Lemmy, c'est le jour et la nuit.
2025 Bluecoats Homecoming Welcome Reception & Ensemble Rehearsal
The 2025 drum corps season begins!
The Bluecoats start their 2025 season with their annual Homecoming weekend at Mount Union University, opening their evening ensemble rehearsal with an alumni reception in the press box.
After I eat too many hors-d’oeuvres, I will head down to the field level for my first Drum Corps World assignment of 2025. Unlike my previous assignments, where I wrote the show review, this is my first photography assignment for DCW!
If you plan to be at Kehres Stadium next Friday, let me know by clicking on the event link below.
