"I Said Good Morning to the Dead": Inside the Al-Baqa Cafe Bombing
On the evening of June 30, an Israeli warplane dropped a 500-pound, U.S.-made MK-82 bomb on the seaside Al-Baqa Cafe in Gaza City. The explosion killed more than 30 people and injured dozens more.
The weapon’s wide blast radius in the dense neighborhood caused indiscriminate damage, affecting unprotected civilians including men, women, children, and the elderly. Legal experts have said the attack likely violated international law under the Geneva Conventions and may constitute a war crime.
As the war grinds on, cafes like Al-Baqa aren’t just social spaces; for many, they are the only places to access electricity and the internet, which are often unavailable in people’s homes due to the ongoing blockade and widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure. For the dead, the ceasefire will never come. Here are some of their stories.

Gas flaring created 389m tonnes of carbon pollution last year, report finds
The fossil fuel industry pumped an extra 389m tonnes of carbon pollution into the atmosphere last year by needlessly flaring gas, a World Bank report has found, in an “enormous waste” of fuel that heats the planet by about as much as the country of France.
Flaring is a way to get rid of gases such as methane that arise when pumping oil out of the ground. While it can sometimes keep workers safe by relieving buildups of pressure, the practice is routine in many countries because it is often cheaper to burn gas than to capture, transport, process and sell it.
Global gas flaring rose for a second year in a row to reach its highest level since 2007, the report found, despite growing concerns about energy security and climate breakdown.

Ohio mosque worshippers reel after imam is detained by Ice: ‘No one is ever truly safe’
A week after the detention of their imam, Egyptian-born Ayman Soliman, worshippers at the Clifton mosque in Cincinnati, Ohio, are still in shock. Soliman was detained on 9 July while attending a regular check-in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) officers, weeks after being told that his asylum status had been terminated, a provision that he had held for more than seven years.
Lawyers for Soliman say that US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) alleges he provided material support to a so-called “Tier III” terrorist organization, namely the Muslim Brotherhood, through his involvement with Al-Gameya al-Shareya, a prominent charity organization in Egypt.
“Tier III” refers to groups that are not officially designated terrorist organizations by the US Department of State, but which an asylum officer may determine to be as such on a case-by-case basis.

Kneecap to face no further action over Glastonbury performance
One Kneecap member, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, has been charged with a terrorism offence for allegedly holding a Hezbollah flag at a London gig last November. The 27-year-old denies the charge and is to appear in court in August.
Kneecap said on Friday they had received a “private email” to say no further action would be taken over last month’s performance. “We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds,” the group said on X. “A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world’s most famous festival.”
They added: “Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close … yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. This is political. This is targetted. This is state intimidation”

Distro advice for a specific case.
Back again haha, I asked a little while ago about making the switch from Windows to Linux and general consensus was maybe don't, as I use my PC for work doing voice acting, music production, and digital art.
Anyway, my PC has been crashing lately so I may be at the point soon of re-installing my OS, so I may as well bite the bullet if/when that happens. Right now I'm making some backups, making a list of Linux programs I'll need, and just trying to get my ducks in a row so I'm not scrambling if I wake up one morning and have to do the thing. Which brings me to Distros.
I've done some research into it but already but there are a bunch of options (thinking maybe Bazzite or Fedora?), and I'd rather know what I'm going with if my PC dies so I don't have to waste time trying to figure it out then. My PC specs are:
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Obviously the priority is to get up and running but I'd really like to use a distro that I can learn some as well. I've installed Mint on an old laptop (recommended for being similar to Windows) but ideally I'd like a distro that's a bit more Linux-y. I'm ok taking some extra time getting up and running, though I'm not at a point for something like Arch yet haha.
EDIT: Wow, lots of comments, thanks! I think I've been overthinking it overall based on these responses. I have Mint on my old laptop and it works well, but had issues on my main laptop (Samsung Book3 Ultra) which I've read has to do with Samsung in general. I also had some issues with Nvidia on it but that may have been a Samsung issue more than anything else. My main PC uses Nvidia so I was under the impression that some distros just don't play well with it and wanted to make sure I used one that worked well with that graphics card.
Bottom line, I've been looking into Linux over the past few weeks and there's still distros mentioned here that I've never heard of haha. It seems really intimidating (hence why I asked) but I'm getting the impression that, at least for now, I'll just go Fedora to start when I bite the bullet. Arch looks really interesting but again, seems intimidating coming from Windows.

My Fairphone 6 from Murena review!
As promised, here's my full review of the Fairphone Gen 6. It is going to be a little longer than i expected...
Let me start by explaining why i chose this device. Well, i just really like Fairphone as a company. Fair to the workers, fair materials, repaireable phone with long support and doing a collab with Murena, making it easier than ever to experience a "deGoogled" mobile device right out of the box.
Which leads me right to the very first steps: opening the box and setting up. For the ones who have seen Fairphones own videos, there's indeed nothing else in the box other than the phone, sim tray tool and some documentation.
After probably the easiest and fastest Android setup i've ever experienced, you're welcomed into the phone's default launcher:
Bliss Launcher.
You do whatever you want right from this moment. No more second setup to decline once more everything Google's trying to push through. No more endless updates, notifications about features, etc. It's just you and a small bunch of preinstalled apps.
- App Lounge
- Calculator
- Calendar
- Clock
- Files
- Gallery
- Recorder
- Maps
- Music
- Browser
- Notes
- Tasks
- Contacts
- Phone Dialer
- Messages
- Camera
The homescreen only shows your app icons, and when you scroll to the right, you'll open a Google Discover-like page where your widgets are located. Sadly, the widgets can't switch positions, so you have to remove all of them and then select them in the order you want. Once they are in place, you can change their size and that's it.
Edit; swiping down in your homescreen gives your a search option, in the widget screen there's a searchbar on the top of the screen.
All the basics covered, nothing more, nothing less. Pretty much all default apps work well, although i installed my go-to apps and put the others in the "no uss" folder, because you can't uninstall preinstalled apps.
One app that did not work well is the email app. It wouldn't delete the emails i manually deleted and instead showed me the email as an new incoming mail with notification and all. After installing Thunderbird i wanted to log out in the app, but it even refused to do that... I end up disabling it as much i could and put it in the "no use folder" also.
There's another app i think that needs improvement, the default camera app: A fork of the well known OpenCamera. This leads me right to a good moment to talk about the phone's camera setup.
Of course you can find (much) better cameras in this price point, but cameras are not the main reason to buy this phone.
However, i think the cameras are more than fine, for me at least. Moving objects/subjects are captured well, the focus gets the job done, photos and videos have a good amount of detail in them, colors look good.
In low light they might struggle a bit, especially in dark environments where there are moving/changing light sources. The camera can't seem to find the right amount of ISO and the correct shutterspeed in these situations.
This will result in some difficulties for "point and shoot" moments, not being able to focus properly and showing the good amount of brightness.
One thing i think is most annoying, is not being able to zoom in or zoom out. I don't know if this is because of my settings or if the app/phone really can't do this, but it is something that should be present by default.
That being said, the cameras are good enough. I even think they might be or get better with updates or other camera apps, but i guess we will have to wait and see what happens.
You can download and install app by using e/os's app store, the App Lounge.
The App Lounge heavily relies on Google Play Services API, as well as the ones needed for F-droid, etc. Read this link to understand a bit better how it works;
doc.e.foundation/support-topic…
You can sign in as guest or login with you Google account to get acces to your paid apps. While it would be nice to filter search results, the app store performs well, including Privacy Scores for each app, which i think is a nice detail.
I was able to install pretty much everything i wanted, including most of the requested apps in my previous post. There was just one app so far that i couldn't download, the Sofi Banking app.
Good time to talk about banking and contactless payment options, because here's the biggest problem people who want to deGoogle will come across.
While i can count myself lucky, because my banking, paying and investment apps (Rabobank, Paypal and Degiro) all work without any issues (even after days of usage, not a single issue), there are apps that simply won't work, such as said Sofi Banking app. What did not work was;
- doing some* in-app purchases, for example: buying Minecoins in Minecraft
- Google Pay/Wallet. I was able to install it, but it wouldn't load after that. Paying contactless, at least where i live since pretty much all banks moved to Google/Apple pay, is a no-go.
- perhaps your banking apps...
...Because, like @Tapionpoika mentioned in a reply in my previous post, some apps will require Google Billing API, something that isn't included in MicroG. There are probably ways to spoof this, but for me the whole point was to 'deGoogle'.
So, if you looking for a device that runs any deGoogle'd OS, make sure to take time browsing the internet to see what other people are saying about the apps you really want or need. I know that this was not what you hoped to read here today, so i'm sorry for that.
- And like i said in my previous post, feel free to ask me to try out installing and running your banking app, or any other app! Maybe then you can find out if Murena will work for you!
And why i put the '*' after 'some' is because not all in-app purchases require Google Billing API. Example, i was able to order food in Uber Eats, because the app simply send me to my banking app to pay.
If your payment needs to go through Google you can almost be sure it won't work, without spoofing the API that is.
I have yet to figure out a good way to find out which apps are using these API's.
When it comes to other apps, such as Whatsapp, Signal, Brave/Firefox, Digid (for the Dutchies under us...), pretty much every other app i've installed on other phones, all work fine! I have yet to find apps that won't work.
I'll update this post when i find apps that won't work. And again, feel free to ask me to try out apps!
Now i'm going to talk about hardware for a bit. I'm going to compare this to the Fairphone 5 i used to own and my previous phone, Nothing Phone 2a.
When it comes to CPU performance, the FP Gen 6 is actually snappier than i would've expected. While the performance compared to the NP 2a isn't really noticeable, which feels weird to say because of the 300 euro difference, the Gen 6 feels miles ahead of the Fairphone 5.
I've had no lag, all apps and the UI run smooth, and even Minecraft runs unexpectedly well.
The SD 7s Gen 3 also seems to be very efficient and not a hothead at all, which again compared to the FP5, is a massive step ahead.
I expect this CPU to perform well for at least 5 more years to come.
The amount of RAM is more than fine for my usage, which at most would be a couple of chat apps, Voyager and a browser with just a handful of tabs opened.
As I'm preparing the review in Standard Notes, my go-to note taking app, the phone has 4.8gb RAM free. Plenty of room available.
Where this phone absolutely DESTROYES the Fairphone 5, is battery life and thermal performance. In my first full day of usage, with a mix of Wifi and Mobile Data and installing and trying out a lot of apps, i didn't end up below 30% battery at the end of the day, and that after almost 7 hours of screen-on time!
On a normal day, such as yesterday, the battery reached about 68% at the end of the day with a screen-on time of ~3 hours.
With normal to high usage, the temps didn't get past about 35°c.
However, and this is something to keep in mind if you are using your phone hooked on a charger a lot, the phone got pretty warm when using it while hooked up to a 30Watt charger. I was just browsing the UI and Voyager, and the temps already reached about 45°c.
So, if you plan to use you phone as a navigation device, hooked on a charger in a hot car, the temps might go beyond that. I would not worry too much tho, just keep it in mind (and maybe check to see if other users are experiencing problems).
The phone charges pretty quickly. The "50% in 25 minutes" actually sounds about right. Sadly Murena did not give us the option to charge it slower (so it produces less heat, better for the battery) and also the 'charge to 80%' is not present. Hope they will add these things in the future.
There are some worries about the USB-C being only 2.0. I tried hooking it up on a external monitor using a USB hub and HDMI, but that did what i was expecting: nothing.
That's kinda a bummer, althought i would not use that myself anyway.
Charge speeds and data transfer are fine and that's what matters most to me.
Speakers sound quality is fine, with a good amount of lower tones. They aren't really loud, but they are enjoyable enough to watch videos with. They are better then the FP5's speakers, but i think my Nothing Phone 2a has a little better speakers (with a little less lower tones tho).
Vibration is much, much better then the FP 5's! They are smooth enough for haptic feedback, but strong enough to not miss any calls. Much improvement here!
The devices itself holds much more comfortable than any other smartphone i've used in at least the last 5 years. The 6,3 inch comes closer to what i think is a nice screen size (which would be a maximum of 5,8"), the edges aren't sharp anymore (FP5 had very sharp edges), the weight has been improved compared to the FP5 (lighter, although i do not really care myself).
The Fairphone's extra button, for Fairphone's Moments, does not do anything other than lock or unlock the microphone and camera acces. Would love to see Moments come to Murena as well, or at least some customizable options for that button; they can't be changed to something else.
Button placement is kinda annoying sometimes. To press the powerbutton you kinda squeeze your phone, and with the volume button being on the exact other side, this phone is good at taking accidental screenshots.
In the powerbutton you'll find the fingerprint sensor. It works very well! The only thing is... when i press the powerbutton to turn off my screen and leave my finger a little to long on the button, the fingerprint scanner will unlock and open my device again. That can be somewhat annoying.
I takes a little time to get used to these things, but overall i think Fairphone almost completely nailed the phone's design (except for not including the 3.5mm jack, but it might be time to finally accept this won't change in the future...).
There was a question about changing band frequencies manually without rooting. Sadly, i have found no way to do this.
This only thing you can change when it comes to networks, is changing your prefered network type(s). So, like turning of 5G, etc. Big list to choose from (see my previous post).
I chose to only turn off 5G, since i don't notice or need higher speeds, which might be good for battery life as well.
Bugs, glitches, etc: pretty much nothing. There are some slight visual bugs tho. Opening a map on your homescreen blurs the surroundings. When you open an app in the map, and instead of pressing home you press the back button, the map re-appears but the blur will be gone.
Also, when i have the "show taps" setting enabled in developers settings, the display's refresh rate will not smooth anymore (significant lag, going to at least 60fps). I will make sure to forward this to Murena.
That's about it actually...
Now i'm going to say a couple of things i like, and maybe give u some tips about the device.
1- Change the animation speed right away. Do this by Settings-> About Phone-> tapping Build Number 7 times. Now you've unlocked Developers Mode.
Go back to Settings -> System -> Developer mode. There change all 3 animation speeds to 0.5. Now your phone feels much faster! (also make sure 120hrz is turned on in you display settings).
2- As someone who really hates the Rotation Suggestion Popup everytime the device is slightly turned when auto rotate is off, e/os has a simple, maybe unintended, fix. Slide down the quicksettings and hold Auto Rotate. In these settings, set rotate to 90 and turn on auto rotate. Now, your phone won't rotate AND don't give you the popup anymore. Downside: you have to change this settings when you do want to rotate your screen...
3- Turning off or change notificationpanel icons. A neat little feature to let everything look the exact way you want. I only have the Clock enabled, everything looks more minimalistic! You can even change the shapes of the icons, for the battery you choose a whole other icon as well.
4- For the ones who really need contactless payment options, Fairphone has a cardholder that can replace your phone's back. It might sound a bit silly, but this might be a simple solution to your problem, if you card can be used contactless that is...
It's understandable if you don't like this, but hey, mentioning it as a possible solution wouldn't hurt!
Can i recommend this phone? Absolutely! But please, and i can't say this more careful enough, make sure to look up the app compatibility of the apps you really need in a deGoogle'd OS! Otherwise, the regular version made do well enough for you, or, if you're just like me, just get the Murena and be okay if you need to find alternatives if necessary.
So, that's my take on the Fairphone Gen 6. I hope i was able to provide information you was looking for. I'll update my post if i forgot to mention things, made typos, or if i need to update something else. And let me know if i can add more, or simply if you have questions!
Have a good one!
Edit: i forgot to mention that once logged into Google, your contacts, agenda, etc, will work perfectly fine in all default apps. This make the step towards using e/os even a little bit smaller. Personally, i'm slowly migrating to Proton since they are providing a good amount of alternatives as well!
Edit: spelling
Hacker o supereroi: rivalutiamo Superman III
Il terzo episodio di Superman è uno dei meno amati della serie, al netto della presenza di Richard Pryor che dovrebbe vivacizzare la storia e che invece si perde nel meta-umorismo e in gag un po’ fini a se stesse.
Nel 1983 Richard Lester dirige un film iconico degli anni Ottanta, antesignano della moda dei cinecomics ed interpretato, oltre che dal solito Christopher Reeve nel ruolo del protagonista, dal comico e stand up comedian Richard Pryor. Il regista era reduce dall'esperienza del precedente episodio della saga, da quando la produzione aveva licenziato Richard Donner in corso d'opera, lasciando circa un quinto di Superman II sotto la sua esclusiva direzione.
La saga dei tre Richard (Lester, l'attuale regista, Pryor l'attore, Donner considerato il "vero" regista) si esplica giusto in questo terzo episodio, il quale racconta della lotta di Superman contro un cattivo duplice: da un lato, una psicosi indotta nella sua stessa personalità da un effetto collaterale della kryptonite, dall'altro un supercomputer pronto a dominare il mondo.

Allenarsi...prepararsi
L'allenamento ci aiuta a prepararci alla gara/evento ma un aspetto che, solo nel tempo emerge è che ci prepara agli imprevisti. La vita è fatta di imprevisti cosi come la corsa. **NO la corsa NON è la vita! **Allenarsi significa essere pronti all'imprevisto a capire e conoscere i segnali del corpo e sapere che si può fare quel passo in più. Se in gara arriva un imprevisto saperlo gestire e andare oltre, per dimostrare niente a nessuno. Ma solo sapere che siamo in grado di essere felici per aver superato la fatica.
If It’s Thursday, It Must Be BSDNow
Yesterday, a new episode of the BSDNow podcast was released.
Episode number 620 — yes, exactly, 620. Since it’s a weekly show, you can do the math and realize just how much dedication its creators, editors, and hosts have put into it. A huge round of applause and thanks to Benedict Reuschling, Tom Jones, Jason Tubnor, and everyone else involved in making this fantastic podcast happen.
BSDNow has been my faithful companion during road trips for many years. And when I’ve had a long day, my wife will ask, “Why aren’t you coming to bed? It’s late!” Then, without waiting for an answer: “Ah right, it’s Thursday.”
And I go: “Of course – there’s a new episode of BSDNow!”
In this episode, Benedict reads my post “The server that wasn’t meant to exist” – not too technical, more of a horror story, but still on topic: the server was running NetBSD.
The Server That Wasn't Meant to Exist

‘Lied to their workers’: CBA’s ‘shameful act’ while sacking staff [Deceptive offshoring of hundreds of tech roles]
Other news source: ABC's The Business - youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Pc1U4Rsf…
The [Finance Sector Union] said the roles being advertised by CBA India had the exact same job titles as those impacted by the redundancies."We do not believe that the redundancies outlined in these change processes are in fact genuine redundancies and that in doing so, CBA has breached the terms of the Agreement,” [FSU National Secretary] Ms Angrisano said, pointing out that genuine redundancies mean the role is no longer required. This is the very definition of bad faith.”
“All Australians are paying for the sham redundancy actions of the CBA. Not only are Australian workers being unfairly and reasonably sacked but this is being subsidised by all taxpayers.
“Bona fide redundancies are taxed concessionally in the hands of the workers. It is especially disgusting that the nation’s richest company is also reducing the tax take as it makes the final payment to hundreds of Australians that we know are being sacked solely to have their work performed offshore.”
