Los Angeles: Thousands Denounce ICE Raids in July 4 Protest


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/32817365

July 5, 2025

"The article below first appeared in the Los Angeles Times on July 5, 2025. The protest the article describes was a fitting way to mark US Independence Day, given the Trump administration’s intensified workplace raids and deportations of undocumented immigrants. L.A. has been the epicenter of many such protests over the last month since the White House picked the city to launch its aggressive dragnet, carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, targeting millions of workers across the country.

As a recent article published by the Washington Post revealed, ICE arrests have more than doubled since Trump took office in January, compared to the same period last year."

Israeli soldier describes arbitrary killing of civilians in Gaza


"In one of the houses that we had been in, we had the big territory. This was the closest to the citizens' neighbourhood, with people inside. And there's an imaginary line that they tell us all the Gazan people know it, and that they know they are not allowed to pass it," he said. "But how can they know?"

People who crossed into this area were most often shot, he said. "It was like pretty much everyone that comes into the territory, and it might be like a teenager riding his bicycle," he said.

The soldier described a prevailing belief among troops that all Gazans were terrorists, even when they were clearly unarmed civilians. This perception, he said, was not challenged and was often endorsed by commanders.

in reply to IndustryStandard

Voice is not masked, and way too much details about his postings and history in the article. Surely he is going to be court marshaled or shunned.

Even though I have zero sympathy to IDF, this bad journalisric practice will prevent otherslike him from coming out and expose the situation there.

Admit what? everything is known, we all know the type of inhumanity they practice, I think it's better if they get marshalled, good propaganda "he admits that they were committing crimes and he got jailed"

I'm convinced Epstein killed himself, but I'm also convinced that MAGA's top ~~brass~~ pewter are overrepresented on those lists.


New footage exposes ragtag US mercenaries firing toward Gaza aid seekers


On July 2, the Associated Press released an exposé containing short videos which appeared to show American mercenaries associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opening fire on aid-seekers in Gaza during an incident in southern Gaza this May. The footage was supplied by a former employee of UG Solutions, a firm charged with securing GHF distribution sites.

In an apparent attempt to control the damage from the AP investigation, UG Solutions has distributed a pair of videos comprising over seven minutes of footage to the press.

The newly released footage offers an unprecedented glimpse of the disturbing interactions between the starving population of Gaza and well-armed, clearly unprepared Americans hired to provide security for GHF’s chaotic aid operations.

Filmed by one of its own employee, the recordings were seemingly distributed in an effort to show UG Solutions’ agents have not fired live bullets on unarmed crowds of Palestinians. According to a UG Solutions statement, the videos “not only clarify what happened, but provide critical context, which contradicts that [sic] AP’s reporting and shows that the accusations are unfounded.”

The embassy asserts that these accounts aim to undermine the relationship between Iran and India.


Anyone get a Royal Kludge R75 working under linux and Vial?


My R75 works fine under via.

I'm using the R75 vial firmware located here.

github.com/mossbed/r75

It won't compile, as cloned. It's more than just the directory structure which is completely silly. It's not surprising it didn't work, given it's messy state. I had to modify it a bit, so it could easily be something I did.

I had to add a UID:

config.h -> #define VIAL_KEYBOARD_UID { }

and uncomment tap_dance_action in keymap.c.

tap_dance_action_t tap_dance_actions[] = {
[TD_RESET] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN(safe_reset),
[TD_CLEAR] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN(safe_clear),
[TD_CTL_TG] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_LAYER_TOGGLE(KC_RCTL, _CTL_LYR)
};

That's about it.

It compiles and downloads cleanly. Via continues to work but Vial does not discover it.

This mosbed firmware extension claims to be a derivative of this work but it doesn't seem to be.

github.com/irfanjmdn/r65/tree/…

Anyone have Vial working? It's a popular keyboard so I expect someone has solved this problem. If no one responds, I'll take it on in a week or so so we can all enjoy ou R75 on linux with Vial.

in reply to TomB19

The problem seems to be lack of ability to give the board a magic serial number. The vial app looks for a specific string in the serial number ("vial:") to identify a vial capable keyboard. My R75 won't accept a serial number, no matter what I do.

Apparently, this is a limitation of some cheap USB controllers (always answer 0 to all serial requests). I don't know if that's true but ChatGPT tells me it's so.

udevadm info -a -n /dev/hidraw$(ls /dev/hidraw* | tail -1 | tr -dc '0-9') | grep -i serial  2 ✘
ATTRS{serial}=="00000000000000000000000000000000"
ATTRS{serial}=="0000:09:00.0"

Apparently, the magic number can be coded into the UID, also. I'm working on that, too, with no success so far. Apparently, USB controllers don't stand in for UID in any case.

I'm struggling with this. If anyone has some ideas or clear direction, I would consider it a favor. If I can manage to make it work, I'll publish the firmware for everyone.

Even if someone got the mossbed firmware to work, that would be helpful to know. I have been banging on it for three days with no luck. This is the most expensive, cheap keyboard I've ever purchased. lol!

The Hamas Response to Trump’s Gaza “Ceasefire” Proposal


Palestinian negotiators from Hamas have proposed a handful of amendments to a U.S.-promoted framework for a 60-day Gaza ceasefire agreement. According to a response that Hamas submitted to the U.S. and Israel and regional mediators from Qatar and Egypt, the Islamic resistance movement hopes the potential agreement will lead to an end to Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza that has lasted for 22 months. Obtained by Drop Site, the document is dated from July 4, when Hamas submitted its formal response to what President Donald Trump called the “final proposal.”

In its revisions to the Trump-backed draft, Hamas proposed stronger language in the framework to ensure that the initial 60-day truce be extended indefinitely—under a U.S. guarantee—until an agreement is reached on definitively ending Israel’s war against Gaza. It also wants Egypt and Qatar listed not only as mediators, but as guarantors of the agreement along with the U.S. “The mediators-guarantors guarantee the continuation of serious negotiations [on a permanent ceasefire] for an extended period until the two parties reach agreement, and the continuation of the [ceasefire and flow of aid] agreed upon in this framework,” Hamas’s draft asserted.

The original language contained more vague language and clauses, such as “if necessary,” and only placed the role of ensuring that negotiations continue on Egypt and Qatar, not the U.S. Hamas’s terms would make clear that the U.S. is responsible for Israel holding its fire during the 60-day initial truce and during subsequent negotiations for a long-term ceasefire.

in reply to DeathByBigSad

Few people can be sure of that, because it would require digging in their assembly code which can take a lot of time, but they have a financial incentive to do that and they love money, so all sane people assume that they very much do. And they also get caught sometimes (multiple times!), so thinking they would just stop would be foolish.

What are your summer league overreactions/thoughts?


Summer league is still getting started and I'm curious what y'all are thinking so far.

I haven't watched every game but I have some thoughts myself. I thought Tim Connelly was crazy for drafting another French center but I understand it now, Joan getting 7 blocks in his first game has convinced me that he can replace (and possibly exceed) Gobert in the future. Dilly, TSJ, and Clark were exciting too, the wolves' young core is looking nice especially on defense.

I had higher hopes for pistons' 2nd round pic Chaz Lanier, I'm hoping he gets some better catch-and-shoot looks going forward but those aren't as common in summer league. Ron Holland on the other hand might as well have been LebRon Holland. 28pts 11reb 3stl 4/5 3pt is impressive, especially the improved shooting, I hope it's not a fluke.

Speaking of fluke, all eyes have been on Cooper Flagg and Bronny James. We'll see in a couple hours if Coop can have a better game today, 5/21 from the field is rough though. Bronny was playing lockdown defense too which seems to be his new identity, we'll see if he can keep this up, he could be a rotational player going forward.

Anyways would love to hear what other people are thinking and feeling so far!

2 killed, 38 injured as Russia launches missile, drone attacks striking Ukrainian cities far from front line. Russia continued its attacks on western Ukrainian cities overnight on July 12, striking communities far from the front line with drone swarms and missile attacks for the third straight night.

Germany-funded long-range weapons to arrive in Ukraine by late July, general says. German Major General Christian Freuding confirmed that the weapons systems’ initial deliveries are expected by the end of July. The arms will be supplied in a “high triple-digit quantity,” he said.

Trump considering sending new funds to Ukraine for first time since taking office, CBS News reports. The funds could come from the $3.85 billion remaining in Presidential Drawdown Authority from the Biden administration or from frozen Russian assets, current and former U.S. officials said.

Zelensky signals major cabinet reshuffle, calls for defense reforms. Zelensky said Ukraine “requires more positive momentum in relations with the United States, alongside new steps in managing the nation’s defense sector.”

‘Impeccable results’ — New Skynex video shows Ukrainian forces destroying Russian drones with German gun. Filmed in an undisclosed location at an unspecified time, the video published on July 12 shows Ukrainian soldiers shooting down multiple Russian targets with a German-made Skynex air defense system.

‘Cut off the head’ — Ukrainian intelligence accuses ‘Putin’s favorite’ brigade of another war crime. “Cut off the head, impale it on a pike, throw it the f**k away,” says the voice attributed by HUR to a company commander from Russia’s infamous 155th Marine Brigade. The intelligence agency said the order, intercepted on July 10, concerned a Ukrainian prisoner of war (POW).

Ukraine destroys Russian drone unit after Kherson infant killed, child ‘should never have been a target,’ governor says. “Dmytro should never have been a target. I thank our soldiers for their just retribution. No occupier who brought death and destruction to our land will escape punishment,” Kherson Oblast Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.

Ukrainian doctors transplant organs of deceased girl amid Russian strikes, saving 3 children. “This is a story about humanity, the incredible power of a parent’s decision, and the chance for life even in the most difficult times,” the hospital said in a statement.

Analysis: Russia is stepping up attacks. Allies are stepping back. What happens to Ukraine next?

Short of a massive injection of military aid, or crushing sanctions on Moscow, there’s little that Trump could announce that could help Ukraine bring Russia’s full-scale invasion to a swift end on terms favorable to Kyiv.

Slovakia seeks EU guarantees on Russian gas phase-out ahead of sanctions deal, Reuters report. While Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said the sanctions package itself is not objectionable, his government has blocked the proposal over concerns about a separate EU plan to fully phase out Russian gas imports by 2028.

Polish president-elect urges Ukraine to allow full exhumations of Volyn massacre victims, despite resumed work. Speaking at a ceremony in Chelm marking the 82nd anniversary of the 1943-44 Volyn massacres, Polish President-elect Karol Nawrocki said the victims “do not cry out for revenge, but for a cross, a grave, and memory,” and urged Ukraine to authorize further work across multiple sites.

Former Wagner fighter seeks asylum in Finland after fleeing across Russian border, media reports. The man, identified only as Yevgeny, reportedly served in a Wagner assault unit and fought in eastern Ukraine, including in Bakhmut and around Selydove.

French army chief says Russia sees France as ‘main enemy in Europe’ due to Ukraine support. The head of the French army, General Thierry Burkhard, attributed Russia’s view of Paris as a primary adversary largely to France’s unwavering support for Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Russia blames Western sanctions for collapse of UN food deal. A day earlier, the U.N. announced that the three-year agreement would end on July 22. The deal “will not be renewed” because of disagreements, a source close to the discussions told the AFP.

Russia’s Lavrov cautions West on North Korea security pact. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the U.S., South Korea, and Japan of military buildups around North Korea. “We warn against exploiting these ties to build alliances directed against anyone, including North Korea and, of course, Russia.”

I got firstnamelastname@gmail.com when gmail was still 'invite only'.

The one drawback to that is there is a General in the U.S. Army with my exact name who doesn't understand how email works and apparently gives out my email address as his. I wish I knew what his actual email address was so I could let people know what it is. I bet he's missing out on a lot of VA functions and barber appointments because he couldn't be assed to remember his actual email address.

Pignio pignatico si rende superpignastico per pignare cose e cosine


L’altro giorno mi è venuta l’idea pazza che più pazza non si può etc etc… solito andazzo. Ma, per quanto l’andazzo sia sempre lo stesso del cazzo, il risultato delle mie macchinazioni è anche stavolta originale, e la primissima versione utilizzabile di esso è già in produzione da ieri sera. Occhi aperti sul nuovissimo gnammifico pezzo di software che è Pignio.octt.eu.org!!! (Che per poco non rischiava di chiamarsi Octterest…) 💣💫💥
Schermata home della app, che mostra i pin più recenti da tutti gli utenti in vista mattoneria
Questo coso spunta fuori dal fatto che, negli ultimi tempi, stava uscendo sempre più la necessità per me di avere un merdino per salvare ed organizzare elementi come link singoli o file multimediali, anche e soprattutto al volo, e potenzialmente renderli accessibili al pubblico… non so: memini, reference, cose da stampare, forse roba PDF file, tutto sotto il mio controllo a prova di sparizione. Ovviamente, una cartella con varie sottocartelle (magari sincronizzata su una repo Git pubblica), che in altri casi sarebbe l’opzione più ovvia, nel complesso qui non va bene, perché l’agilità va a farsi benedire… ma, io sono pur sempre una ragazza magica, dunque non devo accontentarmi delle soluzioni esistenti!!! 😍

In effetti, di software specializzati per salvare cose ce ne sono a bizzeffe… ne hosto io stessa da anni uno per link e articoli dal web, Shiori… però, non so, manca in tutti quella cosa in più per questo caso d’uso… Tra cui, il fatto che è bello facile a salvare elementi singoli dentro tutti quei robi, ma se io ipoteticamente (…e praticamente) avessi cartelle già piene di roba sul PC, che stracavolo dovrei fare? Quindi, beh, semplicemente ho progettato Pignio per operare direttamente sul file system, pescando e salvando sia file che metadati da e su file nella cartella del server, e ho fuso insieme quei due universi che mai devono toccarsi, rispettivamente della banalità informatica e dell’alta informaticain altre parole, è flat-file, e sono negativamente stupita del fatto che non esista alcun altro software lato server per questo scopo qui ma con questa caratteristica. 🤥

Ora è davvero nelle fasi iniziali, e funziona bene… bisognerà vedere poi quanto regge, soprattutto con decine o centinaia di migliaia di file multimediali da trovare sul disco, con altrettanti file INI messi affianco da cui vengono letti i metadati (e quanto sarà l’overhead sul disco avendo tutti questi file da poche centinaia di byte ciascuno), ma la struttura del file system (per gli elementi creati dalla app stessa, identificati da un ID Snowflake, non i file tirati da fuori) penso di averla architettata bene. Sarà davvero la prova definitiva per l’architettura flat-file, se davvero finisco per riempire il sistema con questo passo… ma, in compenso, una repo Git sarà perfetta per fare il backup di tali questi miei preziosi dati (cosiddetto “mio tessoro“), non avendo blob di database. 🤤

Lo stile dell’interfaccia, e a breve anche il sistema di raggruppamento di elementi in collezioni, vabbé, l’ho copiato spudoratamente da Pinterest, e mi sembra ben ovvio… ma, differenza di Pinterest, Pignio ha vantaggi molto tosti… in primis è mio, quindi posso sistemarlo per non avere tutti i bug di merda (Pinterest ne ha infiniti!), poi è self-hostabile, quindi i dati sono già sempre fisicamente in mano a me; e, in più, funziona senza JavaScript, e quindi anche su browser vecchi (pur se con un layout mezzo rotto su quelli, per via del framework che ho usato, UIKit)… figurarsi se io trascuravo proprio una cosa del genere. 😤

Il lavoro da fare è ancora tantino però (e te pareva), perché, a parte le collezioni, ci sono cose solo da sistemare. Cose piccole, come l’importazione automatica di elementi da feed RSS esterni (…ed implementare i feed della roba dalla app stessa)… ma poi anche cose grosse ma assolutamente necessarie, come avere un OCR automatico sulle immagini, o più in generale il riconoscimento dei contenuti per fare tagging automatico, così da ottimizzare la ricerca e potenzialmente avere un algoritmo di suggerimento utile in un’istanza con più utenti. A proposito… ancora non ho nemmeno finito di implementare i permessi per gli utenti, quindi non posso invitare ancora nessuno a provare la mia istanza… però, ho reso pubblico il codice già da ieri (nonostante inizialmente pensavo di aspettare un po’, perché potrei cambiare alcune cose della struttura dati… ma francamente non freca): gitlab.com/octospacc/Pignio. GODETE!!! 😈😳

Source.

  • All analyzed dating apps collect your location, name, phone number, photos or videos, user and device IDs, purchase history, and sensitive information such as racial or ethnic data, sexual orientation, pregnancy or childbirth information, disability status, religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions, genetic information, and biometric data. The most data-hungry dating app is Grindr, which collects 24 data types, followed by Bumble (22), Plenty of Fish (18), Tinder (16), Hinge (15), and Headero (9).
  • Dating apps not only collect extensive personal and sensitive information but may also combine this data with information from third parties to enable targeted advertising. Additionally, data collected from your app about you or your device can be shared with data brokers, further increasing your exposure and the risk of your information being used in unexpected ways. This practice is known as ‘tracking’. While all analyzed dating apps (except Headero) collect data for tracking purposes, Bumble is the leader, collecting four data points in total: email address, location, device ID, and advertising data.
  • We conducted a survey in the US, asking people about their use of various phone apps, including Bumble. Only 6% of respondents said they currently have Bumble installed on their phone, while 16% reported using it in the past but no longer do. Among those who have tried the app, usage is most popular among the 25–34 age group (32%), followed by 35–44 (28%), 18–24 (21%), and those aged 45+ (19%). Additionally, 60% of current or past Bumble users are male, and 40% are female. The majority of Bumble users, 68%, reside in big cities — while 20% live in small towns and 11% in rural areas. This suggests that while Bumble is aggressive in data collection and tracking, its actual reach remains relatively focused on younger, urban, and male demographics.
  • Besides potentially exposing your personal data when using dating apps, there is also a risk of interacting with fake profiles. It is estimated that around 10% of profiles are fake. To put this in perspective, Tinder has about 75 million monthly active users, which amounts to 7.5 million fake profiles. This means there is a very high probability of encountering a fake profile at some point when using dating apps. These profiles are often created with the intent to deceive, scam, or manipulate others, which could lead to financial loss or emotional harm.
  • Despite being the most data-hungry dating app and its past controversy over allowing users to filter matches by ethnicity⁵, Grindr is the highest-rated app in the Apple App Store, with a rating of 4.5 out of 5. Other analyzed dating apps are rated between 3.7 and 4.4. Grindr collects more data types than its competitors, including users’ names, email addresses, phone numbers, precise locations, sensitive information, email and text messages, search histories, and 17 additional data types. Nonetheless, Grindr’s high user rating shows that many still value the app’s experience over its data collection practices.
  • Headero, the least popular app among those analyzed, recently had a data leak that exposed 352,081 user records, 3,032,001 chat records, and 1,096,904 chat room records. That seems like a lot, considering it has only 100K downloads in the Play Store. While Headero collects just nine data types, it still experienced a large-scale data breach, showing that users should be careful not to share too much information with any dating app and be mindful of conversations in the app, as they may not be as private as you would expect.

Il problema delle patate - Una storiella nata in Francia e raccontata da Lucio Russo nel suo "Segmenti e bastoncini" per esemplificare il tracollo della prparazione matematica negli studenti della scuola

@scuola

Per mostrare un esempio del dibattito sul deterioramento dell'insegnamento scientifico, diffuso in termini analoghi in tutto il mondo occidentale, riportiamo la storiella del "problema delle patate", che, nata in Francia, è stata riproposta recentemente in Spagna. [Nota. Il "problema delle patate", ripreso da una rivista spagnola, è stato riproposto in traduzione italiana da Ana Millàn Gasca nel numero marzo-giugno 1996 di "Lettera matematica". Ho abbreviato leggermente il testo. Fine nota.] Si tratta della descrizione delle successive modifiche di un semplice problema di aritmetica.

1960.

Un contadino vende un sacco di patate per 1000 pesetas. Le sue spese di produzione sono i 4/5 del prezzo di vendita. Qual è il suo guadagno?

1970 (insegnamento "tradizionale").

Un contadino vende un sacco di patate per 1000 pesetas. Le sue spese di produzione sono i 4/5 del prezzo di vendita, e cioè 800 pesetas. Qual è il suo guadagno?

1970 (insegnamento "moderno").

Un contadino scambia un insieme P di patate con un insieme M di monete. La cardinalità dell'insieme M è uguale a 1000 e ogni elemento di M vale una peseta. Disegna 1000 grossi punti che rappresentino gli elementi dell'insieme M. L'insieme S delle spese di produzione è un sottoinsieme di M ed è formato da 200 grossi punti in meno di quello dell'insieme M. Rappresenta l'insieme S e rispondi alla domanda seguente: qual è la cardinalità dell'insieme G che rappresenta il guadagno? Disegna G in colore rosso.

1980 (insegnamento "rinnovato").

Un contadino vende un sacco di patate per 1000 pesetas. Le sue spese di produzione sono 800 pesetas e il suo guadagno è di 200 pesetas. Sottolinea la parola "patata" e discutine con il tuo compagno.

1990 (insegnamento "riformato").

Supponendo che degli agricoltori vogliano vendere un sacco di patate per 1000 pesetas, fai un sondaggio per determinare il volume della domanda potenziale di patate nel nostro paese. Completa questa ricerca analizzando gli elementi del problema, mettendo in rapporto gli elementi fra loro e cercando il principio del rapporto fra questi elementi. Per finire, fai una tabella a doppio ingresso, indicando in orizzontale, in alto, i nomi degli elementi citati, e in verticale, in basso, diversi modi di cucinare le patate.

Car apps: the hidden data exchange


Source

  • The most data-hungry car app is Mercedes-Benz, which collects 17 different data types, followed by BMW (14), Volkswagen (13), Toyota (12), Hyundai (12), Honda (11), and Ford (10). These seven apps share a common pattern in their data collection practices: they all collect users’ names, email addresses, phone numbers, user IDs, device IDs, product interaction data, and diagnostic data. Additionally, all except Ford also collect location data. This suggests that many leading automakers are building comprehensive user profiles through their apps, likely to enable and enhance a wide range of connected features. > - However, the collection of location data and personal identifiers raises important privacy concerns, particularly if users are not fully aware of how their information is being used and shared or the potential risks involved.
  • In contrast, Audi’s app stands out as the least data-hungry, as it does not collect any user data. Tesla and Nissan also collect relatively little information. Tesla gathers two diagnostic data types and one related to product interaction, while Nissan collects the same data types as Tesla, with the addition of the device ID. This suggests that these manufacturers may be adopting a more privacy-conscious approach, either by limiting the functionality of their apps or by intentionally designing them to operate with minimal data collection.
  • BMW is the only analyzed app that collects audio data and a list of contacts from the user’s phone, address book, or social graph. Meanwhile, the Volkswagen app is the only one that collects payment information, such as form of payment, payment card number, or bank account number.
  • Major data leaks have occurred in the automotive industry in the past, and the more information companies collect, the greater the potential risk if that data is compromised. For example, Toyota experienced a significant data breach in 2024, exposing 240 GB of sensitive customer information, including names, email addresses, physical addresses, and vehicle data. Another data leak affecting 800,000 electric vehicles happened in 2025 to the German company Volkswagen Group. > - The data was stored in Amazon Cloud and included information on the cars’ location, battery levels, and engine activation and deactivation. The group that exposed the leak confirmed that the amassed data on the vehicles was easily accessible and could be matched to car owners’ personal data.
  • In 2024, the global sales of the analyzed car brands totaled 38.1 million vehicles. Toyota led with 10.8 million units sold, followed by Ford (4.5M), Hyundai (4.1M), Honda (3.7M), Volkswagen (3.3M), Nissan (3.3M), BMW (2.5M), Mercedes-Benz (2.4M), Tesla (1.8M), and Audi (1.7M). Considering that most official car apps began appearing in the mid-2010s, there are now potentially tens of millions of car owners who could use these apps.

in reply to Ephera

Das paßt einfach nur ins Bild eines ganz allgemeinen Kollaps der Biodiversität. Wir stecken im von den unschönen Nebenwirkungen des Industriezeitalters ausgelösten 6. Massenaussterben der Erdgeschichte, da geht die Biomasse von allen möglichen Spezies zurück, während die einiger weniger Arten rapide ansteigt -- nicht nur Menschen, ihre domestizierten Pflanzen- und Tierspezies und die davon abhängigen Spezies wie Parasiten und Schädlinge, sondern auch verschleppte invasive Spezies sowie solche Generalisten, für die der Niedergang komplexer Ökosysteme riesige ungenutzte Nischen eröffnet.
Na ja, vermutlich ist das Industriezeitalter in 200-300 Jahren komplett vorbei, und der Kaputtalismus mit seinem bösartigen tumorhaften Wirtschaftswachstum kollabiert spätestens um 2050, wenn er überhaupt noch so lange durchhält. Interessant ist, wie schlimm die kumulativen Schäden an allen möglichen ökologischen Systemen dieses Planeten bis dahin noch werden. Wenn nur so 50-60% aller Spezies aussterben, stehen die Chancen sehr gut, daß hinreichend viele Menschen den Kollaps überleben, daß die Hominiden nicht aussterben. Wenn wir es so weit eskalieren lassen, daß 90% aller Spezies aussterben, dann verschwinden mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit alle ökologischen Nischen für große Landwirbeltiere, und das sind wir dummerweise halt auch. Egal wie es läuft, in 5-10 Millionen Jahren ist die Biosphäre wieder völlig normal, nur halt mit anderen Spezies, die aus den Überlebenden evolvieren.
Um Ameisen würde ich mir keine Sorgen machen, die haben diverse ganz gewaltige Massensterben überlebt. Selbst wenn die meisten Spezies von denen verschwinden, ist das nicht allzu schlimm für die Ameisen insgesamt. Problematisch ist eher, daß die verschwindenden Ameisenspezies alle möglichen Tiere und Pflanzen beeinflussen, und daß sich dort, wo sie verschwinden, andere Spezies breitmachen, die andere Einflüsse auf das lokale Ökosystem haben.

Don't put a @ on the front, that'll get you to the next step and at that point it will try to send you a PM but it never arrives when I try it.

Sorry 😀

Mumford & Sons – Babel (2012)

Ormai sono acclamati come rock star, ma guardateli in copertina: più facile scambiarli per impiegati in relax dopolavoristico. O in un gruppo di buskers di classe media, con le custodie degli strumenti appoggiate per strada. Il verdetto di “Babel”, secondo album dei lanciatissimi Mumford & Sons , è più che confortante. Se non la fantasia, i quattro ragazzi di West London hanno portato al potere passione, semplicità, una ventata di freschezza e di irresistibile comunicativa... rockol.it/recensioni-musicali/…
