U.S. Sen. John Fetterman is more popular among Pennsylvania Republicans than fellow Democrats, according to a new poll of state voters.
Susquehanna Polling and Research president James Lee told PennLive Tuesday that Fetterman’s overall approval rating among state voters is a “mediocre” 41%, compared to 37% who disapprove of him.
However, the eyebrow-raising result that 45% of Republicans approve of Fetterman while just 40% of Democrats do will surely get political tongues wagging from Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C.

A player of the popular online military simulator War Thunder has been banned from the game’s official forums after sharing a page from a restricted AV-8B Harrier flight manual. The incident marks at least the ninth known case in which classified or export-controlled material has been posted by users attempting to influence in-game accuracy.
In this latest case, a user uploaded a section from a NATOPS manual for the AV-8B and TAV-8B Harrier, used by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The manual is marked “Distribution Statement C,” which means it is not approved for public release and is restricted to authorised U.S. government personnel and contractors. War Thunder’s community manager confirmed the document breached the forum’s rules and was removed immediately. The user received a temporary ban.
This is the latest in a growing list of similar incidents. Previous leaks involved documentation for the UK’s Challenger 2 main battle tank, France’s Leclerc, China’s ZTZ-99, the Eurocopter Tiger, and several U.S. aircraft including the F-16, F-15E, F-117, and most recently, the Eurofighter Typhoon. Each case followed a similar pattern: a user attempted to support a technical argument by uploading documents that were either classified or export restricted. Each time, moderators deleted the posts and sanctioned the accounts involved.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has won the backing of a judge in a copyright lawsuit brought by a group of authors, in the second legal victory for the US artificial intelligence industry this week.
The writers, who included Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, had argued that the Facebook owner had breached copyright law by using their books without permission to train its AI system.
The ruling follows a decision on Monday that Anthropic, another major player in the AI field, had not infringed authors’ copyright.
The US district judge Vince Chhabria, in San Francisco, said in his decision on the Meta case that the authors had not presented enough evidence that the technology company’s AI would dilute the market for their work to show that its conduct was illegal under US copyright law.
Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts
This is a short analysis of the official Fairphone 2024 impact report.
Fairphone is kinda cagey about how much money they exactly spend on fair/eco initiatives, giving only very little information on what exactly it spends in these departments.
For a good reason, it is not a lot.
Specifically, these numbers are given in the report for 2024:
The workers assembling the phones get $1.20 of "living wage bonus" for each phone assembled. This bonus is spread over all workers in the factory, no matter if they worked on fairphones or not, coming out to a yearly bonus of $60.67 per worker.
$3000 was spent on gold fairwashing credits for some artisanal gold mine in Tanzania
$13000 was spent on fairwashing credits for 2.5 tonnes of cobalt (that's 20% of the raw world market price of cobalt).
That's everything. They do talk about a few other fair/eco initiatives in there, but if you read about what they are doing there, it's usually very little and mostly marketing speech. We can safely assume that if any other initiatives would cost more than the ones mentioned above, they would have put these values into the impact report.
They sold 103 053 phones in 2024, so the credits mentioned above come out to just $0.155 per phone.
So to account for the rest of their initiatives and credits, let's be ultra generous and assume they paid 10x of that for all of these initiatives and credits, bringing this value up to $1.55 per phone plus $1.20 in living wage bonus, which gives us a total of $2.75 per phone.
To double check how realistic these numbers are, lets look at their use of fair materials using the Fairphone 5 as our example.
On page 42 they claim "Fair materials: 76%", but with the disclaimer "Average across 14 focus materials" next to it.
These 76% do not consider materials that are not "focus materials" (and aren't acquired fairly at all) and it also doesn't take into consideration the different distributions of the materials in the phone. Some materials (e.g. iridium) are only found in trace amounts in the phone, while other materials (e.g. aluminium or plastics) make up a large part of the weight of the phone.
On page 67 they go into more detail. Here they claim that only 44% of the materials by weight are "fair". To make this even worse, 37% of these 44% are recycled. Specifically, the materials they use in recycled form are metals, plastics and rare earth elements. These are materials that are cheaper to recycle than to mine, which means these 37% of "fair" materials cost nothing to Fairphone and might even save them money. You will likely find similar shares of recycled materials in any other phone too.
Of the 7% "fair" materials that are left, only 1% is actually mined fairly, the remaining 6% are fairwashed using credits. As we have seen above, these credits are really cheap (adding maybe 20% to the price of the material).
On top of that comes the fact that the raw materials make up only a tiny fraction of the manufacturing cost of a smartphone. The expensive part is turning a pile of minerals, metals and plastic into chips, PCBs, screens, batteries and assembling all of that. So even if they paid fairwashing credits for all materials in the phone it would likely not cost more than a few dollars.
TLDR: Less than $5 per phone are spent on fair/eco.
So where does the money go? In 2024 they had an EBITDA of just €1 745 840, or €16.94 per phone. That's not a lot at all, so it's not like they are pocketing huge sums of money.
Their main problem is that they are a tiny company with low sales figures that has to outsource almost everything they do. On their website they claim to have "70+ employees". That's barely enough for supply chain management, sales and marketing. They don't have an in-house production and likely not even in-house development. They don't have any economies of scale on their side and they certainly don't produce screens, batteries, chips or PCBs in house, like other major manufacturers like e.g. Samsung can do. Their development cost is spread over far fewer sold units.
All of this costs a lot of money.
So when you pay an extra €200-300 to buy a Fairphone instead of a comparable mainstream phone, you are mostly paying for a boutique manufacturing process that can't benefit from economies of scale.
Which is ok, that's nothing bad to do. Just be aware where that extra money is going.
Buying a Fairphone is hardly fairer than buying a regular phone and it is certainly not more eco friendly than buying an used phone.

The European Union’s top official, Ursula von der Leyen, has declared rearmament the bloc’s emergency priority. While military spending soars to new heights, working people face a fresh era of austerity.
"Governments should heed widespread demands to tax the rich—and match it with a vision to build public goods from healthcare to energy," said the executive director of Oxfam International.

Open brief aan minister Hermans: plan kerncentrales is onwettig
De keuze om nieuwe kerncentrales te bouwen is onwettig. Dat stelt een aantal organisaties in een open brief aan VVD-minister Sophie Hermans van Klimaat en Groene Groei. De brief is mede ondertekend door de Socialistische Partij Zeeland en Stichting Borsele tot de kern. De schrijvers wijzen op een Europese richtlijn uit 2001, waarin zou staan dat locaties voor nieuwe kerncentrales pas in beeld mogen komen als uit onafhankelijk onderzoek blijkt dat kernenergie echt nodig is. Volgens de ondertekenaars is dat onderzoek nooit echt uitgevoerd.
I wonder whether solutions like Twincat for industrial PC/PLCs will be affected by this. Interfacing directly with the kernel and replacing the scheduler are, AFAIK, fundamental to making Windows viable for real time use.
An interesting question. Assuming they're only targeting security/antivirus products at the moment (see the discussion regarding anti-cheat) it may be that those applications get a pass for now.
Protests against Trump’s immigration policies sprung up in a variety of cities and towns over the weekend.
Hundreds of anti-ICE protesters marched through downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Friday. “The sound of strumming guitars and chants for change filled the air as downtown Albuquerque was packed with protesters expressing their anger toward the federal government,” reported KRQE TV.
In Lawrenceville, Georgia, hundreds of people gathered to peacefully protest ICE raids and the arrest of local journalist Mario Guevara, who was taken into ICE custody while covering another Atlanta-area immigration protest a week earlier. Guevara, who is from El Salvador, built a big social media following by documenting immigration raids, and now faces deportation himself. “We see how this is an attempt to stop people from using their First Amendment rights to righteously speak out against these attacks on immigrants,” a protest organizer told WSB TV.
A spontaneous protest erupted in Pasadena, California, on Saturday, after community members learned that armed officers who drove unmarked vehicles and lacked clear agency identification had detained several people that morning – including four men who were buying tamales from a street cart. Pasadena Now reported that about 200 to 300 people gathered for an evening march and vigil, where Pasadena Mayor Victor M. Gordo and other local officials called for unity and protection of immigrant residents.
Friends and neighbors of a much-beloved bagel shop manager in Port Washington, Long Island, protested his detention on Saturday. Fernando Mejia, 40, was picked up by ICE agents on June 12, reportedly for overstaying a visa 20 years ago. The protest took place at the Port Washington train station, right across the street from the Schmear Bagel & Cafe where Mejia worked, reported News 12 Long Island.
Hundreds of angry residents in southeast Los Angeles County faced off against masked men in fatigues Friday evening after federal agents raided a car wash in the city of Bell, the Los Angeles Times reported. “In one video shared with The Times, a protester sprays white paint on a silver SUV and a voice can be heard saying, ‘Get the ... out of here!’ while others jeer. People can be seen hitting the vehicle,” the Times reported. “One woman with a bullhorn hurled obscenities at the agents and President Trump; others waved a Mexican flag and an upside-down U.S. flag, traditionally a symbol of protest or distress.”
Testing and wondering about spoiler formatting and code formatting in posting and commenting on PieFed.
All of the below was written based on trying things out and seeing what it looks like in the Preview window . But experience has shown me that the Preview window isn't always the same as the final result, e.g. the block quote function does not display in the Preview window but does work in the final result.
So please excuse me if any of points 1-6 do not jibe with the final results shown after I click the "Publish" button.
1. Spoiler 1
Ah, so I can do a spoiler on PieFed. (I've gone back to Lemmy when I wanted to do some posts that needed spoiler protection.) Just not with a GUI button, but by inserting the relevant Markdown codes manually at the start and at the end of what you want to hide.
::: spoiler spoiler SPOILER 1 ::: Great! It works. 😀
2. Showing code for Spoiler 1: Code Block
::: spoiler spoiler
SPOILER 1
:::
But I see that I can't just show you the codes using the Code Block button.
Code Block formatting for the spoiler element code does not show the code, instead it just gives the functional spoiler element in a monospaced font 😁
3. Showing code for Spoiler 1: Single Line Code
Single Line Code, both via the GUI button and manually using the backtick key on the keyboard, turns the entire remainder of my post after the first spoiler into an active spoiler element instead of just showing the three lines as code.
But Single Line Code for those three lines does work if I don't have the word spoiler twice in the first line (like the actual manual code for Spoiler 1 has, where the second spoiler is the text that gets displayed right of the arrow and above the hidden part).
::: spoiler Attempt 1 :::
Just one spoiler in the first line and it works. Two and the whole rest of the post becomes a hidden spoiler.
4. Code Block & Single Line Code: GUI button vs keyboard key
I see I have to be careful using the "backtick" key, as on my keyboard (Spanish - Latin America) it's normally a "dead key" that usually waits for a subsequent letter to put a grave accent over it, like the è in caffè .
I have to press the Space key after the backtick key so that the backtick doesn't just disappear.
<Alt Gr>+<>, then = ``
+<>, then <Space> =
+, then = backtick
5. Showing a backtick in a PieFed post
As can be seen above, I can't find a way to show the typing sequence to get a backtick (had to resort to a third attempt typing out its name in letters: "backtick").
With code formatting, it goes wrong: the text before first backtick is displayed as pink monospaced code, but the first backtick is not displayed, the rest is normal body text and there are two backticks at the end instead of just one.
Without code formatting, it goes wrong in a different way: everything after the first backtick is pink monospaced code, no backticks displayed at all anywhere.
6. Spoiler 2 with image
::: spoiler Spoiler SPOILER 2 with linked image :::
OK, so I can include a linked (third-party host) image in a spoiler. 😀
I guess I can't do an upload-right-there-in-PieFed image inside a spoiler, as PieFed doesn't (at least, for now) let you upload any image other than one that's the basis of an image post.
I see a small difference between the Preview and the final published result: the Code Block and SIngle Line Code sections have a slightly different background. Otherwise, basically the same and so the issues still apply.

I want to build an app, in which you can subscribe or follow profiles or feeds from multiple platforms, including various fediverse platforms (lemmy, Mastodon, Friendica, etc), blogs, and others (no idea what else yet).
App will have optional smart filtering and sorting, and optional algorithm based on your reading habits.
The north star goal is to make this app give the user the feel of being officially supported by the platforms it reads from. It should feel like a lemmy app if you see a lemmy post, feel like Mastodon if it's Mastodon, etc. This is obviously a monumental effort, so I will have to make concessions (hence north star).
Motivation
I see the recession of multi-source or Multi-Platform feed readers (RSS) as quite unfortunate to user choice and freedom.
I think this app, will promote a few ideals of mine: - being intentional about content we want on our feed - breaking boundary between different platforms (which is the spirit of ActivityPub) - promoting open platforms: encourage non-profitting creators to make their content accessible on these platforms, and readers to read from them. - consuming internet content without data mining, addictive scrolling, and having the choice to smart filter or sort your feed.
What are your thoughts? Do you agree that this is worthwhile?
Besides blog posts (RSS), lemmy, Mastodon, and other big fsdiverse platforms, what would you want to see on this app?
Tehran (AFP) – The Iranian body tasked with vetting legislation approved a bill to suspend cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog on Thursday, citing recent US and Israeli strikes.
Iranian lawmakers voted in favour of the bill on Wednesday, a day after a ceasefire ended a 12-day war with Israel that saw Israeli and US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Since the start of the war on June 13, Iranian officials have sharply criticised the International Atomic Energy Agency for failing to condemn the strikes.
Iran has also criticised the watchdog for passing a resolution on June 12 accusing it of non-compliance with its nuclear obligations.
Iranian officials say the censure motion was "one of the main excuses" for the Israeli and US attacks.
"The government is required to suspend all cooperation with the IAEA to ensure full respect for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Guardian Council spokesman Hadi Tahan Nazif told the official IRNA news agency.
He said the move was prompted by the "attacks... by the Zionist regime and the United States against peaceful nuclear facilities."
The bill, which will now be submitted to President Masoud Pezeshkian for final ratification, would allow Iran "to benefit from all the entitlements specified under... the Non-Proliferation Treaty especially with regard to uranium enrichment," Nazif said.
Key Tehran ally Moscow had earlier spoken out against the move to suspend coooperation with the IAEA.
"We are interested in continuing cooperation between Iran and the IAEA, so that everybody respects Iran's repeated statements that Iran does not have and will not have plans to develop a nuclear weapon," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a news conference.
Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a post on X that cooperation with the watchdog was "not possible" at this time until security at Iran's nuclear facilities "is ensured."
Israel launched a major bombing campaign on June 13 that targeted Iranian nuclear and military facilities and killed top scientists and commanders.
On Sunday, Israel's ally the United States launched unprecedented strikes of its own on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz.
A ceasefire between Iran and Israel took effect on Tuesday.
As predicted. Now they will work on nuclear weapon in secret and will announce it in a few years as deterent from any other terrorist attacks by US or Israel.
The red line was crossed and will be crossed again when US or Israel "feels like it". So going all in is their only sane option.

These books were purchased by them before being destroyed in the scanning process. I fail to see the issue with this specific case. Lots of artists buy stuff and irreversibly modify it. Are we going to be angry now at people who glue their puzzles or use parts of books for scrapbooking? If these were unique works there would be an issue, but I don't think that truly unique pieces would be in their target group, as the destructive scanning is all about cost cutting and unique works cost a lot of money that they wouldn't just destroy.
The fact that they use it for model training and later sell access to that model's work is the shady part that has a severe whiff of plagiarism to it.
I think it’s a waste tbh. Like it’s one of those capitalist things of “well its not profitable to sell so lets destroy them”, when anything made for the good of the people would’ve seen a massive opportunity to distribute books to people for free!
Copyright law also doesn’t allow them to download the entirety of a piracy database of books. But here we are, they clearly don’t care about copyright law.
Last year, China generated 834 terawatt-hours of solar power.
Which is more than the G7 countries generated, and more than the US and EU combined. In fact the only country group that generates more solar power than China is the OECD, all 38 countries of it.

Gli spaccamenti capitanti, nuova murfianza per rompere l’umore
È a dir poco sconcertante (!), ma la maledizione di Murphy si è gravemente abbattuta su di me in questi ultimi giorni… mi si sta letteralmente rompendo tutto, ogni cosa che possiedo, tutti i miei averi tangibili. Questo è ovviamente un duplice problema, perché da un lato sono tirchia e non voglio (ri)comprare assolutamente niente, e dall’altro la distruzione di tutti i miei strumenti ed il mio ambiente di lavoro mi porta a distrarmi e dunque a disperarmi ancora di più del già abbastanza alto normale. A parte i soliti problemi col PC, e il telefono che è lento, infatti, ora piano piano arrivano anche degli spacc fisici, e io sto per perdere così forte la pazienza che potrei arrivare a ricostruirmi tutta la roba che mi serve con soltanto cartone e colla, così almeno so che resiste… 😭
Non c’è solo la roba elettronica a rompersi (e a rompere a me le scatole, nel farlo…) infatti, in questo caso. Forse per il caldo e l’umidità insieme (ma in realtà non ne ho idea) gli appendicazzi schifosi che uso per appendere roba al lato del mobile dove ho la scrivania stanno iniziando a crollare uno dopo l’altro, al ritmo di tipo 1 al giorno… che è preoccupante a dir poco. La colla si secca, l’adesivo si spacca, e quindi cade ogni cosa. Prima è caduto quello che uso per tenere rialzata dal pavimento la prolunga elettrica, poi è caduto quest’altro su cui avevo tanto accuratamente posizionato il ventilatorino da scrivania… è veramente tutto inutile così il tempo da me speso nel fare interior design però, eddai. Mi fa anche così tanto rosicare che deve finire sempre così che ho volontariamente preso uno degli appendini che è caduto e, con calma, l’ho spezzato… e ora quindi dovrò cambiarlo per forza, mentre se non avessi fatto questa stronzata avrei potuto rimetterlo a posto come nuovo con della colla a caldo, che roba. Vabbè va. 😵 Ovviamente, comunque, le cose che principalmente si rompono sempre, e che quando lo fanno danno noie serie, sono quelle elettriche. Da svariate sere fa, infatti, non posso più usare la mia striscia LED, perché l’adattatore-microcontroller si è rotto. Non ho capito bene come ma, a giudicare dal fatto che l’innesto jack DC sembra visivamente squagliato, avrà qualcosa a che fare con il fatto che, nelle ultime settimane prima del decesso, il jack in questione diventava veramente caldissimo durante l’uso… e forse faceva già qualche falso contatto, perché ogni tanto le luci si spegnevano da sole per degli istanti. Non ho idea di se fosse l’alimentatore il problema, ma probabilmente è più l’adattatore, perché già da anni dava problemi (per esempio, anche premendo OFF sul telecomando, le luci rimanevano accese di un leggero blu)… magari la porta era di suo prona a rompersi, e facendo contatti sempre più falsi ha fatto disperdere sempre più energia come calore, ed ecco qua. Non ha neanche senso rimpiazzare il connettore a questo punto, meglio comprare nuova tutta la schedina… però il casalinghi cinese non la venderà mai da sola, e online costa più del dovuto, quindi fin’ora sono rimasta letteralmente senza luce colorata, che la sera è una fottuta tragedia. ☠️ Beh, però la luce arcobaleno la ho sempre dalla mia tastiera meccanica cinesissima… eccetto che potrebbe dover sparire pure quella, perché ha ricominciato a fare le bizze. Mesi fa già aveva dato strani problemi, per cui per giusto qualche giorno un tasto (la lettera E) andava e poi non andava, a momenti completamente a caso; da ieri sera, invece, sono i tasti M ed I a fare lo sciopero, e un po’ anche la J… e il tempo per cui non funzionano è gravemente di più di quello per cui lo fanno. Scuotere, pulire e spolverare, così come premere i tasti più forte o per più a lungo, non cambia assolutamente nulla… semplicemente a momenti scrivono, ed altri no; e qualche volta scrivono con un leggero ritardo dopo averli rilasciati, finendo per inserire dopo un qualche altro simbolo che nel mentre ho premuto. Ah e, nel frattempo, ovviamente la mia chiavetta Bluetooth di 20 anni fa non funziona su Windows 10 64 bit (nonostante su Linux andasse, pure se male, mannaggia a tutt cos); e le altre tastiere USB che ho da parte, oltre ad essere a membrana, sono pure quelle mezze rotte (tra cui una che va su altri PC, ma non sul mio fisso; forse avrà il connettore marcio)… è la megafine. 🙃
La tastiera meccanica nuova non la comprerò neanche per idea, perché se questo problema si era risolto da solo prima allora deve farlo anche ora… altrimenti… ci rimarrò molto molto male!!! Però almeno una tastiera così, da battaglia, mi sa che devo comprarla, al casalinghi cinese, altrimenti finirò a pettinare le bambole per interi giorni. Questo post l’ho scritto dal tablet, per esempio, perché preferisco addirittura usare la tastiera touch mezza laggante piuttosto che quella a membrana con i tasti mezzi affossati e mezzi che non si premono se non si da un pugno, e tutte queste cose qui… Ah, tablet che, a tal proposito, per via del fatto che Samsung usa componenti di merda, ha la porta USB-C mezza rotta (un problema noto su questo modello)… e spero che quantomeno continui a caricare per sempre, quel poco che basta per evitarmi di dover comprare ed installare il pezzo di ricambio (che sarà ugualmente fallato, quindi dopo anni di uso andrebbe nuovamente cambiato…). Non ce la faccio assolutamente più, salvatemi da questa spaccnologia!!! 😨😓😭
When you see your own face in the mirror, no matter how far you are, the portion of the mirror showing your face is always half the size of your actual face.
Try it. Look at a mirror and put a ruler on the mirror, the size of your face on the mirror will always be the same, no matter how far you are. It will be half the size of your actual face.
It works because of triangles. Just start drawing some diagrams and you'll quickly figure out how on your own. Which is more fun than having someone give you a geometric proof.
