Handful of MPs condemn Palestine Action ban as vast majority back proscription
British MPs have overwhelmingly voted to proscribe the direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, though several MPs condemned the move as “grotesque” and said they were pressured into voting for the measure.
MPs voted 385 to 26 in favour of the ban, which will make it a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison to be a member of or show support for Palestine Action.
The House of Lords is set to vote on the motion on Thursday. If passed, it will come into force at midnight on 9 July, pending a legal challenge by the group requesting “interim relief” to stay the order.
An Open Source Conversation Response Path Exploration System using Monte Carlo Tree Search
Instead of just generating the next response, it simulates entire conversation trees to find paths that achieve long-term goals.
How it works:
- Generates multiple response candidates at each conversation state
- Simulates how conversations might unfold down each branch (using the LLM to predict user responses)
- Scores each trajectory on metrics like empathy, goal achievement, coherence
- Uses MCTS with UCB1 to efficiently explore the most promising paths
- Selects the response that leads to the best expected outcome
Limitations:
- Scoring is done by the same LLM that generates responses
- Branch pruning is naive - just threshold-based instead of something smarter like progressive widening
- Memory usage grows with tree size, there currently no node recycling

Independence from the US
This year, like every other year, Americans will celebrate Independence Day with flag-waving, and parades, and fireworks. The political system the flag and the parades and fireworks are supposed to represent is in tatters, but everybody likes a party.
For Americans, the madness gripping their country is a catastrophe. For non-Americans, it is an accidental revolution. This Independence Day, the world is declaring its independence from the US.
The lesson the Americans once taught the British, they are teaching the rest of the world: there are no necessary nations. There are no exceptional countries. There are no permanent global orders

Degoogling - Getting your info from Google via Google Takeout
I did a search for posts on Google Takeout before posting this and the only one I saw was from a year ago so I guess its ok to post this.
I just learned about it this morning.
The TLDR; is that you can request all the info Google has on you, in my case I want to do something with that data as I move away from Google, but just seeing what they have is nuts.
You might want to consider doing so.

‘It Was Horrific’: Radar Festival Speaks Out on Bob Vylan Cancellation
In a new interview organizer Catherine Jackson-Smith shared that the festival did not want to cancel the group’s headline set.
“It was categorically one of the most horrendous professional discussions I’ve ever had,” she said. “I cannot express clearly enough that I wanted Bob Vylan to perform at our festival. But this was not our decision.”
According to Jackson-Smith, Radar was caught between behind-the-scenes conversations involving the venue, its co-owners AMG and Live Nation, and local authorities. The decision to drop Bob Vylan was presented as an ultimatum: either cancel the band’s appearance or risk losing the entire Saturday program.

Polish opposition proposes entry ban for migrants from Middle East and Africa
Poland’s main opposition party, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), has proposed an entry ban for people from certain countries in the Middle East and Africa. It says this would help stop Germany’s practice of sending migrants who have illegally crossed the border back to Poland.
The proposal comes amid renewed debate over how to tackle migration, with the Polish government on Tuesday announcing the reintroduction of controls on Poland’s borders with Germany and Lithuania in an effort to prevent the “uncontrolled flow of migrants”.
After Prime Minister Donald Tusk had announced the border controls, the head of PiS’s parliamentary caucus, Mariusz Błaszczak, said that the government’s actions were “too little, too late”.
“This crisis has been going on for months,” he continued. “This issue requires far-reaching action.”
Błaszczak said that PiS would submit a bill to parliament introducing a temporary ban on entry to Poland for third-country nationals from “specific countries outside Europe…whose citizens illegally cross borders”.
Previously, on Monday, PiS party leader Jarosław Kaczyński had called for an “immediate ban on entry to the territory of Poland for people from the Middle East and North Africa”.
PiS has not yet specified which Middle Eastern and African countries would be included in its proposed ban. It says they would be selected based on analysis of data showing which nationalities most often cross borders illegally or are transferred to Poland from Germany.
A government information campaign discouraging people from trying to illegally enter Poland was recently launched in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan and Egypt, countries from which Poland has identified the largest numbers of people crossing the border from Belarus.
Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from Asia and Africa – have tried to enter Poland from Belarus, with the encouragement and assistance of the Belarusian authorities.
In response, Poland has heavily fortified its eastern border with physical barriers and electronic monitoring. The government also recently banned asylum claims by people crossing from Belarus. Those measures have led to a dramatic decline in the numbers entering via that route.
In his remarks on Tuesday, Błaszczak made clear, however, that PiS’s proposed entry ban was designed to address the issue that has recently caused most controversy, which is Germany’s policy of sending back to Poland thousands of migrants who crossed the Polish-German border illegally.
Many of those sent back are Ukrainians. Others are non-Europeans, often from Asia and Africa, who have either claimed asylum in Poland – and therefore must remain there while their applications are processed – or have simply passed through it after entering the EU irregularly.
“After the introduction of this [proposed] law, Polish border guards will be able to prevent citizens of these countries from entering our territory,” said Błaszczak. “So those who are today being transferred from Germany by the German authorities, or who are trying to cross from Germany to the Polish side, will not be able to do so.”
The migrant returns carried out by Germany take place under a combination of EU regulations, bilateral agreements with Poland, and the border controls that Berlin reintroduced in 2023. Earlier this year, Tusk declared that Poland may stop adhering to such agreements.
However, some Poles have sought to take matters into their own hands, organising self-declared “citizen patrols” – some of them hundreds strong – at the German border to monitor and prevent migrant returns.
Błaszczak said that PiS politicians will be visiting the German border to make clear that “we support the border defence movement”, which he described as “Polish patriots who took matters into their own hands when Donald Tusk’s state abdicated [its responsibilities]”.
He also pledged that the party “will provide support to those who are persecuted by the current authorities of our country” for undertaking such actions, reports the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Earlier this week, Tusk and interior minister Tomasz Siemoniak criticised the actions of the citizen patrols, saying that they are disrupting the work of border officers and spreading false claims about the number and types of migrants being transferred by Germany.

Aimed at self hosting, but S3-compatible and designed to run at different physical locations?
Surely the venn diagram for that has not such a big overlap?
Ok, that's fair, thank you.
But distributed geographical sites? Useful for SME's and above, but aside from a few edge cases where friends might want to share hosting resources, is that a homelab thing?
I think the distributed feature is just a bonus really.
If I had to strawman a homelabber use case, maybe you’re a very data conscious photographer or videographer and you set up another storage array at your parents house as part of your back up system. 🤷
Should Lemmy add a Modmail feature similar to Reddit's?
On Reddit, Subreddits have a "Modmail" feature that allows users to message all subreddit moderators at once, and moderators can respond collaboratively.
Should Lemmy consider potentially implement something similar, for Communities?
Even a basic version — like leveraging the already existing DM feature to have a Group DM that automatically includes all moderators and the user who sent the message — could help improve communication between users and community mod teams.
This could just use Lemmy's existing DM system but adapted for group messages tied to the mod team of a specific community.
Later on, if this proves to be successful, it could potentially be tweaked even further, and have support for Modchat, via the same Group DM as the potential Modmail.

Windows machine running a Linux VM at 4K 240Hz
I don't know if this is common knowledge but I hadn't found anything on the web (for Windows specifically) that stated that this was possible.
I kinda badly want to fully switch to Linux in the short term but wanted to first properly test how different distros feel at these specs (and maybe try some basic gaming too); maybe someone that wants to do the same can find this post useful (I hope this is the right community to post to).
To do this I used QEMU, and had to edit the source code and recompile it to enable 240hz.
Forcing higher refresh rates is surprisingly not that hard, I only had to edit a single line of code (hw\display\edid-generate.c, line ~390, set '75000' to '240000').
So far Mint, Fedora and KDE Neon work perfectly at that refresh rate (after adjusting mouse input polling rates), then I added a couple other nice features like shared clipboard and mouse device toggling (I tested q2pro and it wouldn't work with absolute mouse coordinates, and relative mouse was a pain to use in normal desktop browsing, so I had to find a way to toggle them if I didn't want to reboot the VM every time).
This is my very first lemmy post (hi fedi!), I wrote this lengthy blog post detailing how I did everything, hopefully I'm allowed to post it here (reddit traumatized me with the blanket banning).

I'm back again with another question: Wine/Proton
A few days ago I asked about taking the big leap, but I use my PC for work in the arts (voice over, music, digital art, etc).
I've been playing around with Bitwig to replace Cubase and ideally Adobe Audition. It's... a learning curve but I'm willing to make it work if I can get everything about my PC lined up with Linux.
I then discovered Wine and Proton. So, they're basically bridges that allow you to use some Windows programs in Linux? I read they can use vst files with a bit of work, and people have had some success with Cubase, though Adobe is still right out but I'd love to get away from Adobe anyway. Also games??
Is there a difference between Wine and Proton or are they basically just different programs that do the same thing? The big leap might be more feasible than I thought if they do what I think they do.
Edit: This seems like it could suit most of my needs. I need to do more research into it but you guys answered my questions. Appreciate you all taking the time, thanks!
So, they're basically bridges that allow you to use some Windows programs in Linux?
They are like really Bad cocaine. Sure, it may work, but if you want to give up that much time, might as well learn an alternative because the next version will need a new workaround.
I read they can use vst files with a bit of work
That's an emulator.
Is there a difference between Wine and Proton
Proton-ge is a fork of proton is a fork of wine, which only exists because Wine isnt made for gaming specifically and proton can't include a bunch of stuff because of legal reasons which enhance gaming further.

Disputed Supreme Court chamber confirms Polish presidential election result
The chamber of Poland’s Supreme Court tasked with overseeing elections – but whose legitimacy is rejected by the Polish government and European courts – has passed a resolution validating the result of last month’s presidential vote in Poland, which was won by conservative opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki.
The decision was widely expected but has been mired in controversy over allegations of the miscounting of votes as well as questions over the status of the chamber itself, which was created by the former ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party that supported Nawrocki’s presidential candidacy.
In its decision, the chamber of extraordinary oversight and public affairs noted that, while it had confirmed 21 cases of irregularities during the election, “the identified violations did not affect the result”, in the words of judge Maria Szczepaniec.
The Supreme Court’s decision now paves the way for Nawrocki to be sworn into office in August, when he will replace outgoing President Andrzej Duda, whose second and final term is ending.
Poland’s presidential election run-off took place on 1 June. Nawrocki, the candidate supported by the national-conservative PiS, won 50.9% of the vote, defeating Rafał Trzaskowski – deputy leader of the centrist Civic Platform (PO), Poland’s main ruling party – who received 49.1%.
Subsequently, the Supreme Court had 30 days to consider complaints filed regarding the election (of which there were over 53,000 in total) and to confirm the validity of the result. As it met today to discuss the issue, supporters and opponents of Nawrocki gathered outside the court.
Some figures associated with the ruling coalition have suggested that, regardless of what happened today, next month’s swearing-in ceremony should not go forward due to question marks over vote-counting and the legality of the oversight chamber.
However, last week, the speaker of parliament, Szymon Hołownia, whose role it is to call the assembly at which the new president will be sworn in, said that, despite doubts over the chamber’s legality, he would accept its decision and swear in Nawrocki if the election was declared valid.
The oversight chamber was established under the former government that was led by PiS, which is now Poland’s main opposition party.
The chamber has been deemed illegitimate by both Polish and European courts due to being staffed entirely by judges nominated by the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS) after it was also overhauled by PiS in a manner that rendered it no longer independent of political influence.
The current government – a broad coalition ranging from left to centre-right that replaced PiS in office in December 2023 – also regards the chamber as unlawful and has tried to remove its power to validate the presidential election result. That effort was vetoed by PiS-aligned President Duda.
Last week, a group of 28 Supreme Court judges from other chambers jointly signed a letter declaring that the oversight chamber is illegitimate and therefore cannot issue a valid ruling. Even two judges from the chamber itself have questioned its legitimacy (and they today issued opinions dissenting from the main resolution).
On Monday, Adam Bodnar, the justice minister and prosecutor general, made a last-ditch appeal to the Supreme Court to transfer the decision on the validity of the election to another, legal, chamber. However, that request was denied.
Today, when Bodnar appeared before the oversight chamber, Szczepaniec pointed out that, after the 2023 parliamentary elections at which the current government came to power – and when Bodnar was himself elected to the Senate – he had not protested against the same chamber validating those results.
PiS has argued that the ruling coalition is only now disputing the legitimacy of the chamber because its candidate lost the presidential election. When Tusk’s coalition won the 2023 elections – as well as local and European elections in 2024 – it did not mount such protests, they note.
Speaking before the chamber today, Bodnar also accused it of dismissing almost 50,000 complaints about the presidential election without properly considering them.
As a result, “we still do not know what the election result is”, said Bodnar’s deputy, Jacek Bilewicz.
He emphasised that they were not “trying to reverse the election result, but we are of the opinion that the Supreme Court did not take all actions [necessary] to bring us close to [knowing] the actual result”.
In response, Szczepaniec noted that the complaints to which Bodnar was referring – which were based on templates shared by members of the ruling coalition, who had encouraged Poles to file protests – were “identical in content and do not concern the protesting party’s own specific and real interest”.
“The Supreme Court, after reviewing each protest, observes that the number of protests filed does not increase the weight of the single allegations included in them,” said Szczepaniec. “In such a case, the effect of scale is irrelevant.”
The oversight chamber’s decision to confirm the validity of the election was supported by the head of the National Electoral Commission (PKW), Sylwester Marciniak, who was appointed when PiS was in power.
Speaking before the chamber, Marciniak noted the PKW “did not find any violations of electoral law that could have influenced the voting results and the election outcome”, reports news website Wirtualna Polska.

There's a multitude of things going on here probably, but you need some debug logs to find. My guess is because your machine probably has multiple GPUs enabled, it's picking the inactive one, or you have multiple portal methods install and it's choosing the wrong.
Can you get some logs?
I have the hyprland portals installed, and the kde ones, due to some issue I had to explicitly install them so idk if that will mess with the way applications handle it, assuming not, and yes I have two gpus, one dgpu, and one igpu, the dgpu is directly connected to my hdmi, does OBS stuggle with 2 gpus? still, that sounds like it would be a issue with capturing the monitor managed by my igpu. Not a reason to stop a second pipewire capture.
What logs do you need? I provided some from running OBS but i assume it isnt enough, what logs should I collect, or is there a flag i need to run with OBS
Missed your logs link, but there's some hints in there.
You have both an Intel GPU and Nvidia GPU in that laptop, and it's selecting your Intel while trying to use Nvidia compatible settings. So you need to try and force everything to either work on Nvidia, or everything to work on Intel. It can't do both without splitting the settings per GPU, which I don't think is an option in OBS.
I tried nvidia-offload, as I set up PRIME awhile ago, it didnt help, here is the logs, if its useful:
pastebin.com/CiJ4Zyjw
Idk if OBS would actually respect the GPU being handed to it, or if it'll do something weird with screen capture, its weird per-gpu settings is not a option with OBS, if this is a OBS bug, i can file a bug report. Hopefully it can be resolved here.

Well in that log, it actually DOES use the right GPU. There are some other errors you have going on in there though, like you seem to have AV1 encoding selected somewhere in your settings, but this RTX 3070 doesn't support AV1 encoding (on the fly) AFAIK.
Try launching the app this same, setting all your hardware encoding stuff back to defaults, then see if you can get it working. In these logs it IS picking up the second pipewire display, so that's good, but launch this way again without AV1 enabled then upload the logs again and let's see what's happening.

I thought about that, but decided to leave it as an exercise for the reader.
Don’t forget that Integer8 (the middle dragon) counts increments of 100 nanoseconds, because… reasons.
And don’t forget that 1900 still is a leap year in Excel.
I have been able to outsource low level parsing to third party libraries
Hahaha!!!
Today I watched a Java server crash because a library decided it needed more than 3GB of heap space to read a 10MB file. That was after manually removed background colors from around 100,000 cells, which apparently caused the parser to create even more objects in its internal representation of the sheet.
Yeah, I get it. I've had many libraries fail me in as many ways, which is why I consider it lucky to not have to implement my own. I work in .net these days, but there have been times where I had to just dig into the xml inside the xlsx and use xml tools. Those were mostly one-offs, thankfully.
Back when I did Java I had a frustrating experience with IBM's libxml causing our app to crash after several days due to a memory leak. I didn't have access to the production environment so it took me probably 3 weeks to find the cause and only after digging through a crash dump provided by the sysadmin. Not related, but you triggered my traumatic memory 😀
And don’t forget that 1900 still is a leap year in Excel.
Thank you! Saying this finally made me realize why I always need to add/subtract one day when I’m trying to convert dates to and from the Excel representation. 🤦
I can track my old lease car
So, I still receive telemetry information from my old lease car, a Kia e-Niro, to my app. A huge, HUGE privacy issue.
I made sure to remove my profile from the car before turning it in, and doing a factory reset of the car's software.
I can see everything, AC, whether there are doors open, odometer, and above all, location.
Also tried to see if I can turn off the AC, but any commands throw an error, so disabling my account on the car at least did something 😅
I had it in the Netherlands, it's in Poland, and it looks like it's on its way to Ukraine.
Kia, you need to check your security.
Edit:
Holy shit it gets real bad. I can lock and unlock the car.

Nissan does this too. I leased a new Kicks when they came out and HATED it. Seats were terrible, car was underpowered, and some jackass decided to program the cvt to "shift" because Nissan got complaints that the car was stuck in gear. Just learn how a CVT works.
Anyways, 4 years later, I still get emails about monthly maintenance work, tow alarms, and tracking updates. I never asked for them to begin with and I guess I'm stuck with it as a VW guy now.
Elon Musk fonda il suo partito dopo il sondaggio su X: «Oggi nasce l'America Party per restituirvi la libertà »
L'intelligenza artificiale Grok è pure diventata un sondaggista per l'occasione. 😂
Secondo la sua intelligenza artificiale, Grok, la nuova formazione potrebbe assestarsi intorno al 5-10%, rompendo così il granitico bipolarismo americano.

Linux is getting enshittified.

in reply to db2 • • •it's just fedora and, even then, because of ibm's acquisition of red hat.
money and american hegemony have tried to enshitify linux many times in the past; but linux keeps on chugging along anyways.

in reply to maxwells_daemon • • •And that is still largely true - I’m still running XFCE with xorg on Debian, and I think the only issue I’ve had was Waydroid.
Will there come a day where what you say is true? Yes.
However, right now, a more apt example to convey your point is systemd; that’s true for most distros with a lot of community support. Even then, its hold isn’t absolute - Alpine seems like the most livable non-systemd distro, though I could be wrong.

in reply to db2 • • •As I’ve commented elsewhere on this post and others have said, this is a change that affects pretty much no one. I didn’t even know MBR (legacy BIOS) partition tables on UEFI boot was possible, honestly.
By no longer putting in the effort to maintain this bit that no one uses, work can be put to something someone uses.
Also, with Linux, specific distros can get encrapified (kind of happened to Ubuntu), but as others have said, there’s usually always another distro to jump to at worst.

What a stupid take.

So basically it was some workaround a few years ago. I have a hard time to see any reason speaking against the removal.

in reply to Pro • • •Users move on from Windows because of old hardware compatibility, pick an easy to use distro, like Fedora. Fedora drops old hardware compatibility...
It's their second attempt in under a month. Red Hat needs to sit the fuck down.

in reply to maxwells_daemon • • •As much as I resonate with the issues, in this case, this isn’t what they’re doing at all.
This drops support only for UEFI on the MBR partition scheme typically used by a BIOS setup, which I honestly didn’t even know was possible.
This ends support for no hardware - almost all distro installations on UEFI have defaulted to GPT partition tables for a long time.

in reply to wetbeardhairs • • •That’s not what this is saying.
It’s only support for UEFI on the old MBR partition table - GPT partitioning has been the default for ages now.
data1701d (He/Him)
in reply to Pro • • •For those panicking about it, this is not something you need to worry about. Here’s what this actually does:
You probably have already been using GPT on your UEFI system since you had a UEFI system. Even if you somehow were using MBR, this probably;
1. Won’t break existing installations, as it’s merely support for installs of this type
2. Would not be a problem even if somehow the broke existing installs, as it’s not difficult to convert MBR to GPT.
