Economy of Genocide: UN Report Links Western Firms to Israeli War Crimes
A powerful new report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council by Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, is drawing sharp condemnation — not only from Israel but also from the United States.Titled ‘From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide’, the report delivers a searing indictment of corporate involvement in Israel’s settler-colonial enterprise and its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, accusing private and state-linked companies of enabling apartheid, war crimes, and genocide.

Issues with stickies
In my community !action_movies@piefed.social , I've made two posts sticky (the "Welcome" post and the "Free, legal movies" post) using my Piefed mod account, but:
- viewing in PieFed, neither post is at the top. (They do have inverted angle brackets around the title.)
- viewing in Lemmy, The "Free, legal movies" post is sticky (at top, with pushpin icon) but the "Welcome" post isn't.
How do I get them both displayed at the top in both PieFed and Lemmy? Or is this a bug?
On piefed
They both appear stickied just fine to me. Something that is different with sticky posts on piefed is that if you sort by New, then the sticky posts are no longer at the top of the page. That is different than how lemmy does it. This has led to confusion in the past, and even has a codeberg issue about it.
On lemmy
I am guessing that federation had not yet been established between that lemmy instance when you created and stickied that initial welcome post. I just tried an experiment now where I subscribed to your community from a test lemmy instance I have and forced federation of one of the sticky posts, and it didn't come over stickied. So, there might be some weirdness there.
What you can do to try to resolve this is to unsticky it and then resticky it. That should send out the correct actions via activitypub so that the other instances know that the post should be stickied. To be on the safer side, give it a minute or two between those two actions so that you are sure the first action had been sent out fully.
Sticky post on PieFed aren't listed on the top of its community.
Cf pictures : The sticked post, with the blue title, stay at the middle of the community page. It doesn't move to the top of its community.Codeberg.org
Thanks for the info.
- I unstickied, re-stickied and waited a couple of minutes. Both are now stickies that appear at the top in Lemmy, no matter what the sorting order.
- Sorting order: when I first started with Lemmy, I got sick of seeing the same posts again and again and again. I tried different sorting orders, and different settings for viewed posts, none of which satisfied all my wishes, until I eventually gave up on everything except "New", which is now how I look at all content all the time.
So I guess this means in Piefed I'm always missing out on seeing stickies in all communities, not just the one I mod. :/
Wait, so what is that issue? If you bold something in two different places it gets messed up?
Edit: it sure does...I will take a look at that when I look at formatting comment previews correctly.
I think it might also happen when you have italics, or bold, immediately followed by punctuation.
Or is that only when the original post is done on Lemmy and then viewed on PieFed? I'll have to try to find an example.
- piefed.social/post/997768
Just following up on this that stickied posts should now show up at the top of communities even if you sort by New. Additionally, the double bold problem should be solved now without breaking anything else. Feel free to reach out in this community or on codeberg with issues if they come up.
PS - post and comment previews should show better formatting as well, including blockquotes and code blocks.
More than half of Americans - and 83% of Democrats - say ICE has gone ‘too far’ in arresting migrants: poll
More than half of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone “too far” in its pursuit of arresting migrants, according to a new poll.
While 54 percent said ICE has used its power too aggressively, the sentiment was even greater among Democrats at 83%, according to a poll by PBS News, NP and Marist.
Nearly half of Republicans, by contrast, said ICE’s actions are appropriate and an additional 31% said the agency had not gone far enough in enforcing Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government's deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.

Telescopio Einstein, anche due premi Nobel a favore della candidatura di Sos Enattos
La Sardegna sarebbe "un sito eccellente" per ospitare il telescopio Einstein : a dirlo sono stati due premi Nobel per la fisica, Arthur McDonald e Takaaki Kajita , che hanno espresso il loro sostegno alla candidatura italiana durante un evento a Expo2025 Osaka organizzato dall'Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare nell'ambito della Settimana della Regione Sardegna.
Arthur McDonald e Takaaki Kajita, insigniti del premio Nobel nel 2015 per i loro studi sulla massa dei neutrini, hanno avuto modo a Osaka di parlare della cooperazione scientifica tra Italia e Giappone nel campo delle onde gravitazionali e hanno anche dimostrato di apprezzare le caratteristiche uniche che contraddistinguono il sito sardo di Sos Enattos, candidato dall'Italia a ospitare il futuro rivelatore di onde gravitazionali.

Bradisismo Campi Flegrei stabile dopo terremoto di magnitudo 4.6: pubblicato il nuovo bollettino INGV
Secondo il bollettino INGV del 1° luglio, nei Campi Flegrei la sismicità settimanale (23-29 giugno) è in calo, con 38 terremoti e magnitudo massima 1.9. Si segnala però una forte scossa di terremoto il 30 giugno. Stabile il sollevamento del suolo a 15 mm/mese. Nella fumarola di Pisciarelli, oltre ai 94° C di media, si segnala una diminuzione dell'emissione di anidride carbonica.
Nei Campi Flegrei, secondo quanto emerge dall'ultimo bollettino dell'Osservatorio Vesuviano dell'INGV del 1° luglio 2025, si registra una sismicità settimanale in calo, ma con un importante evento sismico di magnitudo 4.6 avvenuto il 30 giugno. Durante la settimana di monitoraggio dal 23 al 29 giugno 2025 sono state registrate 38 scosse di terremoto, con una magnitudo massima di 1.9, un dato in diminuzione rispetto ai 58 eventi della settimana precedente. Il bollettino segnala il significativo terremoto di fine mese anche se fuori dal periodo di riferimento settimanale. Il sollevamento del suolo dovuto al bradisismo rimane stabile, con una velocità media di circa 15 mm al mese, in linea con il trend registrato da inizio aprile. Per quanto riguarda i parametri geochimici, la temperatura media registrata presso una fumarola a Pisciarelli è di circa 94 °C. Nello stesso sito, il flusso di CO2 dal suolo ha mostrato una rapida diminuzione locale, che dovrà essere verificata con i dati futuri.

Giuseppe Cesaro, “Si pubblicano troppi libri, abbandono l’attività di scrittore”
Lo scrittore Giuseppe Cesaro in una lunga lettera spiega i motivi della sua decisione: troppe uscite, pochi spazi in libreria, nomi famosi che tolgono spazio agli emergenti i motivi principali
> “Sui libri sventola bandiera bianca” potremmo dire citando un celebra del 1981 di Franco Battiato per raccontare la vicenda di Giuseppe Cesaro, scrittore di Sestri Levante nato nel 1961 e autore professionista dagli anni Ottanta. “Con “Fatico a ricordare il tuo viso. E, ancora di più, la tua voce” (La nave di Teseo) si chiude la mia vicenda di scrittore”. Così inizia la lunga lettera di Giuseppe Cesaro rivolta a tutti: editori, autori e lettori.
> Ma perché ha deciso di abbandonare l’attività di scrittore? Il suo non è un capriccio, ma un grido d’allarme legato al mondo dell’editoria oggi.
> Leggiamo di seguito la sua lettera in cui racconta la sua sofferta decisione.

Previsioni del tempo dieci volte più rapide e mille volte meno impattanti dal punto di vista energetico grazie a un nuovo modello del Centro meteo europeo
Previsioni del tempo sempre più accurate, generate dieci volte più velocemente, con un consumo energetico mille volte inferiore a quello richiesto dai metodi di previsione tradizionali.
Per il Centro europeo per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine (Ecmwf), il cui Data Centre è ospitato al Dama Tecnopolo di Bologna, un ulteriore passo in avanti grazie all’utilizzo dell’intelligenza artificiale, con l’introduzione di un nuovo modello di previsioni meteorologiche che permetterà ai 35 Paesi membri di Ecmwf di migliorare in maniera decisiva i loro servizi al pubblico.
Aifs Ens, questo il nome del nuovo modello diventato operativo il primo di luglio, sarà disponibile per i servizi meteorologici nazionali collegati ad Ecmwf nelle prossime settimane. Il modello permette di costruire diversi scenari probabili su come si svilupperanno le condizioni atmosferiche e sfrutta le opportunità offerte dall'apprendimento automatico e dall'intelligenza artificiale, offrendo un miglioramento del 20% in accuratezza rispetto ai modelli fisici tradizionali.
“Quella introdotta da Ecmwf- dichiara Vincenzo Colla, vicepresidente della Regione Emilia-Romagna con delega allo Sviluppo della rete regionale Alta tecnologia e Tecnopolo di Bologna- conferma la qualità della scelta della Regione di ospitare a Bologna il Data centre del Centro europeo per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine, una struttura che continua a fare del Dama Tecnopolo un punto di riferimento per la comunità scientifica internazionale, capace di tenere insieme tecnologia e umanesimo. Le previsioni del tempo sono un elemento sempre più centrale nella nostra società, determinanti per garantire la sicurezza dei cittadini, ma anche per uno sviluppo economico che può contare su strumenti di sicurezza per il territorio”.
