Tulsi Gabbard calls for Obama to be prosecuted over 2016 election claims
Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, has called for Barack Obama and former senior US national security officials to be prosecuted after accusing them of a “treasonous conspiracy” intended to show that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election win was due to Russian interference.
She said Obama and senior officials in his administration had “[laid] the groundwork for … a years-long coup” against Trump after his victory over Hillary Clinton by “manufacturing intelligence” to suggest that Russia had tried to influence the election. That included using a dossier prepared by a British intelligence analyst, Christopher Steele, that they knew to be unreliable, Gabbard claimed.
The post-election intelligence estimates contrasted with findings reached before the election, which indicated that Russia probably was not trying to interfere. In extraordinary comments calling for prosecutions, she added: “The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government.

Zohran Mamdani and the “Black Vote”
Zohran Mamdani’s campaign struggled to win “the Black vote.” That was part of the narrative that emerged after Mamdani’s surprising win in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary. Though Mamdani, a state assemblymember, decisively triumphed over his chief opponent, disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the young democratic socialist’s performance in majority-Black precincts proved to be a weak spot.
The so-called Black vote, in other words, doesn’t need to shake out the way it frequently has in the past; all indications are that it won’t.
Mamdani is the candidate that has shown he can seize on young voter enthusiasm — and with young Black voters, themselves no monolith, offering Mamdani an opening. True, some of these younger voters are moving toward the Republican Party, but it’s also true that young Black Democrats are more likely to hold more progressive views than their older counterparts.
Indeed, young Black voters appear to have gone decisively for Mamdani in the primary. According to one primary exit poll (with a small sample size), about 70 percent of Black voters under 50 voted for Mamdani citywide. There’s no reason to think he will lose that support in the general, and if he can continue to increase young Black voter turnout, he may not need the older ones.

US Federal judge blocks enforcement of Trump’s sanctions on ICC for targeting Israel
WASHINGTON – A federal judge blocked on Friday the enforcement of US President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting those who work with the International Criminal Court.
The ruling follows an April lawsuit by two human rights advocates challenging Trump’s February 6 order authorizing potentially far-reaching economic and travel sanctions on people who work on ICC investigations of US citizens or US allies, such as Israel.
In her ruling, US District Judge Nancy Torresen called the executive order an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. “The executive order appears to restrict substantially more speech than necessary to further that end,” she wrote.

It makes calls to gitflic.ru quite often wether using a bypass website or not.
Anyone know on what the calls are about and if they are legitimate and or what telemetry is being shared?

I have purchased far more than I've ever obtained. In some cases I've double dipped and purchased multiple times.
The main issue is "can I obtain it legally and pay the original creators?" And secondary is "is this item reasonably priced and delivered in an accessible way?".
The last game I grabbed was the Sims 4 + dlc a very very long time ago. The last show i grabbed was probably an anime with fan subtitles.

Oggi, 19 luglio, nel 1943, il primo bombardamento di Roma
Il primo bombardamento di Roma avvenne il 19 luglio 1943, durante la seconda guerra mondiale, ad opera di bombardieri statunitensi delle forze aeree alleate del Mediterraneo.
Il quartiere San Lorenzo fu duramente colpito dalle bombe.
Pio XII in visita alla Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano il 13 agosto 1943, in occasione del secondo bombardamento di Roma
Dopo un triennio di ipotesi intorno all'inserimento della capitale italiana nel novero degli obiettivi aerei alleati, San Lorenzo fu il quartiere più colpito dal primo bombardamento degli Alleati mai effettuato su Roma, insieme al Tiburtino, al Prenestino, al Casilino, al Labicano, al Tuscolano e al Nomentano.
Le 4.000 bombe (circa 1.060 tonnellate) sganciate sulla città provocarono circa 3.000 morti e 11.000 feriti, di cui 1.500 morti e 4.000 feriti nel solo quartiere di San Lorenzo.
Al termine del bombardamento papa Pio XII si recò a visitare le zone colpite, benedicendo le vittime sul Piazzale del Verano.
Tra i soccorritori morti (morirono ventiquattro vigili del fuoco) anche il comandante dei carabinieri generale Azolino Hazon, accorso sul posto.

YouTube app is the worst
Normally I use NewPipe on android. It's an alternative YouTube app that can play videos in the background, doesn't have ads and allows me to download videos and music.
I had the YouTube app disabled with adb on this phone for all the time I've had it. For backup there's always the browser YouTube page.
I must have done something wrong and accidentally clicked install on the YouTube app again, so it activated and was back to normal on this phone.
Holy hell is that app a terrible advertising machine. Every time I click on a YouTube video now I get sent straight to it and it always plays ads and also has text ads all over the GUI so I can't even read the channel info etc while I wait for the ads to go away.
I don't know how people deal with that it would completely make me want to stop using YouTube.
Please do yourself a favor and install NewPipe or ReVanced (I think that's the name of basically the same app but with sponsorblock additionally). Both are on f-droid.org app store as well. Less important because you can manually use NewPipe but you could also disable the YT app with adb so it disappears from your phone.

Hey y’all, I know getting a setup that feels “right” can be a process. We all have different goals, tech preferences, etc.
I wanted to a share my blog post walking through how I finally built a setup that I can just be happy with and use. It goes over my goals, requirements, tech choices, layout, and some specific problems I’ve resolved.
Where I’ve landed of course isn’t where everyone else will, but I hope it can serve as a good reference. I’ve really benefited from the content and software folks have freely shared, and hope I can continue that and help others.
Happy to answer questions!

EPA eliminates research and development office, begins layoffs
The Environmental Protection Agency said Friday it is eliminating its research and development arm and reducing agency staff by thousands of employees.
The agency’s Office of Research and Development has long provided the scientific underpinnings for EPA’s mission to protect the environment and human health. The EPA said in May it would shift its scientific expertise and research efforts to program offices that focus on major issues like air and water.

[PSA] Malware distributed on the AUR
On the 16th of July, at around 8pm UTC+2, a malicious AUR package was
uploaded to the AUR. Two other malicious packages were uploaded by the
same user a few hours later. These packages were installing a script
coming from the same GitHub repository that was identified as a Remote
Access Trojan (RAT).The affected malicious packages are:
- librewolf-fix-bin
- firefox-patch-bin
- zen-browser-patched-bin
The Arch Linux team addressed the issue as soon as they became aware of
the situation. As of today, 18th of July, at around 6pm UTC+2, the
offending packages have been deleted from the AUR.We strongly encourage users that may have installed one of these
packages to remove them from their system and to take the necessary
measures in order to ensure they were not compromised.
Follow up
There are more packages with this malware found.
minecraft-crackedttf-ms-fonts-allvesktop-bin-patchedttf-all-ms-fonts
What to do
If you installed any of these packages, check your running processes for one named systemd-initd (this is the RAT).
The suspicious packages have a patch from this now-inaccessible Codeberg repo:
codeberg.org/arch_lover3/brows…The Arch maintainers have been informed of all this already and are investigating.
