Valdobbiadene (TV): PROSECCO CYCLING, domenica 28 settembre 2025
L’evento di Valdobbiadene del 28 settembre introduce il “tempo minimo”: partenza alle 8.30 e non entrerà in classifica chi completerà i 100 km di percorso tra i vigneti prima delle 11.40. L’organizzatore Massimo Stefani: “Vogliamo garantire la massima sicurezza e rendere l’evento ancora più originale e divertente”
Alla Prosecco Cycling non fa difetto l’originalità, la capacità di proporre nuove idee per rendere l’evento sempre più coinvolgente e attrattivo. La novità dell’edizione 2025, in programma domenica 28 settembre, è l’introduzione di una sorta di “tempo minimo”: chi concluderà il percorso tra le splendide colline del Prosecco di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene prima delle 11.40 non entrerà in classifica.
Considerando che la partenza in Piazza Marconi a Valdobbiadene è prevista alle 8.30, significa che i partecipanti alla Prosecco Cycling 2025 non potranno giungere al traguardo in meno di 3 ore 10’. Ne uscirà rafforzato l’invito che da sempre la Prosecco Cycling rivolge ai partecipanti - pedalate senza fretta, alzate la testa dal manubrio e godetevi il paesaggio che incontrerete lungo il tragitto tra i vigneti - ma soprattutto l’evento di Valdobbiadene offrirà un’esperienza ancora più inedita e coinvolgente: perché da queste parti, dove la festa inizia alla fine, non c’è motivo per spingere sempre a fondo sui pedali.

Help Mikayla Raines get justice! Make noise and let the press know about Reddit safegaurding r/saveafoxsnark even after a poor innocent women commited suicide!
Hey there! There is a Reddit subreddit called r/saveafoxsnark which bullied, harrased and spread outright lies about an animal rescuer and digital content creator called Mikayla Raines, which pushed her to commit suicide. Reddit is not banning r/saveafoxsnark even after an innocent women committed suicide! I was not comfortable being a member of a platform which gives space to communities which basically pushes someone to commit suicide. By being there I was letting Reddit gain money by selling my data, so I decided to not allow it anymore. I was a long time Reddit qunkie and couldn’t quit it and kept on going back there. But never again! I have permanently moved into Lemmy! Please help me spread this and help Mikayla get justice! Make Reddit accountable!

US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites only set back program by months, Pentagon report says
Findings by Defense Intelligence Agency suggest Trump’s declaration that sites were ‘obliterated’ may be overstated
An initial classified US assessment of Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend says they did not destroy two of the sites and likely only set back the nuclear program by a few months, according to two people familiar with the report.
The report produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency – the intelligence arm of the Pentagon – concluded key components of the nuclear program, including centrifuges, were capable of being restarted within months.
The report also found that much of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium that could be put to use for a possible nuclear weapon was moved before the strikes and may have been moved to other secret nuclear sites maintained by Iran.

[JS Required] Boeing’s Inadequate ‘Training, Guidance and Oversight’ Led to Mid-Exit Door Plug Blowout on Passenger Jet
FAA cited for ineffective oversight of Boeing’s known recordkeeping issues
WASHINGTON (June 24, 2025) — The National Transportation Safety Board Tuesday said the probable cause of last year’s in-flight mid-exit door (MED) plug blowout on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 was Boeing’s failure to “provide adequate training, guidance and oversight” to its factory workers.
The NTSB also found the Federal Aviation Administration was ineffective in ensuring Boeing addressed “repetitive and systemic” nonconformance issues associated with its parts removal process.
The NTSB also concluded that in the two years before the accident, Boeing’s voluntary safety management system, or SMS, was inadequate, lacked formal FAA oversight, and did not proactively identify and mitigate risks. The investigation found that accurate and ongoing data about overall safety culture is necessary for an SMS to be successfully integrated into a quality management system.
On Jan. 5, 2024, the Boeing 737-9, operated as Alaska Airlines flight 1282, was climbing through 14,830 feet about six minutes after takeoff from Portland, Oregon, when the left MED plug departed the airplane. During the rapid depressurization, some passengers’ belongings were sucked out of the airplane, oxygen masks dropped from the overhead passenger service units, and the door to the flight deck swung open, injuring a flight attendant. In addition to the flight attendant, seven passengers received minor injuries. The two pilots, the other three flight attendants and the remaining 164 passengers were uninjured. The flight was destined for Ontario, California.
“The safety deficiencies that led to this accident should have been evident to Boeing and to the FAA — should have been preventable,” NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said. “This time, it was missing bolts securing the MED plug. But the same safety deficiencies that led to this accident could just as easily have led to other manufacturing quality escapes and, perhaps, other accidents.”
The MED plug was found in a Portland neighborhood two days after the accident. When investigators examined the recovered plug, they found evidence that the four bolts needed to secure the plug were missing before the accident occurred. Without the bolts, NTSB investigators found the unsecured plug “had moved incrementally upward during previous flight cycles” until it departed the airplane during the accident flight.
The airplane had been delivered to Alaska Airlines three months earlier. Investigators determined that the door plug was opened without the required documentation in Boeing’s Renton, Washington, factory on Sept. 18, 2023, to perform rivet repair work on the fuselage. The door plug was closed the following day. While Boeing’s procedures called for specific technicians to open or close MED plugs, none of the specialized workers were working at the time the door plug was closed. The absence of proper documentation of the door plug work meant no quality assurance inspection of the plug closure occurred.
The investigation also highlighted the need for additional training on flight crew oxygen masks and their communication systems and the need for greater voluntary use of child restraint systems by caregivers of those under two years of age.
The NTSB issued new safety recommendations to the FAA and Boeing. Previously issued recommendations were reiterated to the FAA, Airlines for America, the National Air Carrier Association and Regional Airline Association.
The executive summary of the report, including the findings, probable cause and safety recommendations, is available online. Additional material, including the preliminary report, previously issued safety recommendations, news releases, the public docket, investigative updates and links to photos and videos, is available on the accident investigation webpage.
The final report will be published in the coming weeks on NTSB.gov.

Israel's failure to subdue Iran shows it can no longer dictate the regional order

"Israel sustained more damage from Iran’s missiles in 12 days than it did from two years of Hamas’s homegrown rockets, or indeed from months of war with Hezbollah.

Io’s Missing Magma Ocean
In the late 1970s, scientists conjectured that Io was likely a volcanic world, heated by tidal forces from Jupiter that squeeze it along its elliptical orbit. Only months later, images from Voyager 1’s flyby confirmed the moon’s volcanism. Magnetometer data from Galileo’s later flyby suggested that tidal heating had created a shallow magma ocean that powered the moon’s volcanic activity. But newly analyzed data from Juno’s flyby shows that Io doesn’t have a magma ocean after all.
The new flyby used radio transmission data to measure any little wobbles that Io caused by tugging Juno off its expected course. The team expected a magma ocean to cause plenty of distortions for the spacecraft, but the effect was much slighter than expected. Their conclusion? Io has no magma ocean lurking under its crust. The results don’t preclude a deeper magma ocean, but at what point do you distinguish a magma ocean from a body’s liquid core?
Instead, scientists are now exploring the possibility that Io’s magma shoots up from much smaller pockets of magma rather than one enormous, shared source. (Image credit: NASA/JPL/USGS; research credit: R. Park et al.; see also Quanta)

Exclusive: China auto industry inflates sales by exporting new cars as 'used'
China's auto industry has inflated car sales for years through a burgeoning government-backed grey market that registers new cars right off the assembly line and then ships them overseas as "used" vehicles.
These so-called "zero-mileage" cars have never been driven but they are being exported as used to markets like Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East, allowing Chinese automakers to show growth and to dispose of cars that it would be difficult to sell domestically, according to a Reuters review of government documents and interviews with five auto dealers and car traders.
"This is the outcome of an almost-four-year price war that has made companies desperate to book any sales possible," said Tu Le, Michigan-based founder of consultancy Sino Auto Insights.
Harvard-linked study finds Israel ‘disappeared’ nearly 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children: Report
A study published via the Harvard Dataverse reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023.Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children.
The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population.
The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel’s genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.
While some are displaced or missing, a significant number are believed to have been killed by Israeli forces, according to the report.

Queer Dating Apps: Beware Who You Trust With Your Intimate Data
When discussing the intersection of data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences, it's inevitable to also talk about queer dating apps. Due to a smaller percentage of the population and a number of factors complicating in-person dating, people part of the queer community are more likely to seek online platforms to meet lovers and friends. Unfortunately, using queer dating apps can be very dangerous for privacy, and even for safety.Dating apps are generally horrible for everyone's privacy, but the queer population is at an even higher risk of harm due to discrimination, and even criminalization in certain regions.
Despite the risks, LGBTQ+ people still need to fulfill their social and romantic needs like anyone else.
This isn't an easy task outside the online realm either. Discrimination can be much worse in physical environments that aren't specifically catering to the queer community. In some regions, this can even mean a greater risk of physical aggression.
LGBTQ+ people aren't necessarily safe to date in the same ways cisgender heterosexual people are, increasing the need for safe spaces.
Another important factor is that a smaller percentage of the population necessarily creates a smaller dating pool. Even if someone were to avoid entirely online services, if they aren't located in a town large enough to host LGBTQ+ venues and events, or if they live in an environment where revealing their queer identity could be unsafe to them, online spaces might be their only viable option to find connections.
Sadly, this isn't ideal. In today's world, it seems very few services (if any) are considering the importance of data privacy for dating apps seriously enough.
For this reason, it is crucial to acknowledge the dangers, and learn about ways to minimize the risks, and to stay safe while looking for romantic or sexual partners online.

Chiusura M2 Cadorna-Garibaldi: petizione ufficiale per navetta sostitutiva con corsia preferenziale
Ciao a tutti, vi chiedo di supportare questa richiesta ufficiale al comune du Milano.
Tra poco la M2 verrà chiusa tra Cadorna e Garibaldi, per due mesi, e ATM non ha messo neanche un autobus sostitutivo.
Le soluzioni proposte da ATM fanno perdere come minimo mezz'ora, ogni volta. Un pendolare deve buttare un'ora ogni giorno, per questo scherzetto.
La richiesta linkata chiede al comune di Milano di istituire un autobus sostitutivo all'altezza, per minimizzare o disagi
Tutti i dettagli sono nella descrizione al link.
Può firmarla con SPID chi è residente a Milano, ma anche chi la frequenta perché ci lavora (io sono in questa categoria), o frequenta qualcuno che ci abita (i cosiddetti city users). In tal caso, quando si prova a firmare, bisogna compilare un'autocertificazione, seguendo le istruzioni, e poi aspettare che sia approvata (qualche info a questo link)
Grazie!

Democrats' chances of winning back Senate surge after Murkowski bombshell
Murkowski is seemingly keeping a door open to potentially caucusing with Democrats moving forward, or at the very least in a more independent mode to avoid the current hardened partisan divide, according to an interview being released in full on Tuesday.Galen Druke, host of the GD Politics podcast, asked a hypothetical question about Murkowski being open to caucusing outside of the GOP if Democrats were to pick up three Senate seats in next year's elections, and if she had more opportunities to help her Alaskan constituents.
"There may be a possibility," Murkowski said, later adding, "There is some openness to exploring something different than the status quo."
It's an open question whether this being couched as a hypothetical allowed that response. It seems plausible that this is a gambit for other reasons.

Il prestigio imperituro che deriva dal possesso del fringuello più soave del Belgio - Il blog di Jacopo Ranieri
Il sovrapporsi dei cristalli lucidi sotto l’impulso fotonico dei raggi diurni; il congelamento dei tenui rivoli soltanto in parte paralleli, che diventano nel giro di minuti totalmente uniformi; la sottile scurezza rispetto al codice della conformità…Jacopo (Il blog di Jacopo Ranieri)
New Copypasta.
This “just use linux” mentality is peak broke-brain logic.
You think spending an hour every day troubleshooting and googling how to fix it is some badge of honor? Congrats, you saved $0 and burned the only free hour you had after work. Hope the "Freedom" was worth it.
Linux isn’t free. It costs time, energy, and attention — the three things high-performers guard with their life. Compile time, Maintenance, debugging, dependancies, cleanup — you’re bleeding hours to save pennies. That’s not frugality, that’s time poverty.
You’re not a developer. You’re a tired guy distro hopping at 10pm convincing yourself it’s “self care.” Meanwhile someone else paid $100 for Windows, finished a deck, hit the gym, and got 8 hours of sleep. But hey, you configured your system by hand. King shit.
And don’t even start with the “but privacy!” cope. 90% of y’all using Linux aren’t toppling goverments or hacking banks. You’re watching Youtube, checking Gmail, Twitter, and scrolling the same niche subreddit every night. You’re not optimizing for privacy, you’re optimizing for feeling morally superior while wasting time.
Time is the only real flex. You get more of it by buying it back. If that costs $100 for Windows, that’s a steal. If you’re in any field where leverage matters — CAD, Excel, Adobe — and you’re still compiling Linux from scratch like it’s 1999, you’re not serious.
This isn’t about being rich. It’s about understanding what moves the needle. High-output people don’t micromanage their PCs — they outsource. You want to be productive? Stop pretending Linux is a virtue. It’s not. It’s a time sink.

Tourist claims he was denied entry to U.S. because of Vance meme on phone
A Norwegian tourist has accused American authorities of denying him entry into the U.S. because he had a popular meme of JD Vance saved on his phone.
Mads Mikkelsen, 21, told his hometown newspaper Nordlys that he was subjected to “abuse of power and harassment” by officials at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Mikkelsen claims that immigration officials stopped him for questioning and quizzed him “about drug trafficking, terrorist plots, and right-wing extremism,” all of which he said was “totally without reason.” He says he was placed in a holding cell.
