A newly established Hungarian company is spending hundreds of thousands of euros on advertisements attacking Hungary’s opposition leader Péter Magyar and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—far exceeding its reported income and without revealing the source of its funding. Meta eventually removed a wave of similar ads targeting Viktor Orbán’s opponents for violating its terms of service—but only after profiting from displaying them to millions of users.

Damn what's with the crazy Corbyn hate boner? The one politician trying to stand up for the people but instead everyone wants to slobber off Keir Starmer.
Jeremy Corbyn has just announced he is launching a brand new left-wing party – but it already sounds very similar to the Green Party’s proposals.
Together with fellow former Labour MP Zarah Sultana, the ex-Labour leader promised a “new kind of political party” which “belongs to you”.
They said they would call for a wealth tax, champion an NHS which is free from privatisation, stand up for Palestine and challenge the fossil fuel giants “putting their profits before our planet”.
These policies are not dissimilar to those backed by the Green Party, which many former Labour supporters, now disillusioned, have flocked to over the last year.
That could therefore put the two parties at odds with one another.
Zack Polanski, the frontrunner in the ongoing Greens’ leadership race and the party’s current deputy, told HuffPost UK shortly after Corbyn’s announcement it is clear the parties have plenty in common.
He noted: “I’ve read the statement and I can’t see a single thing in there that’s not Green Party policy or doesn’t align already with the Green Party.”
He said: “I really like Jeremy and Zarah both as people and also as politicians. I’m supportive of anything they’re setting up.”
But the London Assembly member also made it clear they would be “welcome” in the Greens, which he called a “movement for change”.
He said: “I think it’s a positive thing that they’ve recognised that the Labour Party as a vehicle of progressive change that utterly collapsed, and it’s time to abandon it. They’ve not left the Labour Party, but Labour Party has left them.”
However, he noted that – unlike Corbyn’s new group – the Greens do not need to have a conference in the autumn to decide their name.
“Maybe that conference should decide actually, the Green party exists and is doing really well,” Polanski said, pointing to the nearly two million votes they secured in the general election. “It kind of makes sense to join the Green Party.”

The Internet Archive is thrilled to host Chuck Tingle and his upcoming novel Lucky Day, for a book talk presented by The Booksmith! We can\'t wait to see you there, […]\n
Bit of a bummer about Ozzy, but not exactly a shocker. Hulk Hogan was a celebrity? He starred in one of the 3 Ninjas movies, but that's the only time I've ever heard of the guy.
This is literally just talk (promise) about a bunch of other talk (recognition). While talk is better than silence, nothing of substance is happening yet. They still trade with Israel, including some weapons.
while this is welcoming news during this atrocious time of the zionist genocidal assault against Palestinians, I am curious of the details. Is this 1967 borders? What about the facts on the ground that zionism has created to make a two state model incapable?
Do we really want to normalize having a new Palestine state existing in a quasi-like existence next to this genocidal state? How far will that go? Will AOC and others say Palestine has the right to defend itself and arm it with iron dome?
Furthermore Israel should not be off the hook in the important work of dismantling colonial regimes.
The only possible way forward is to equalize existence for all peoples on the lands, irrespective of their religion, ethnicity, or who they are. Ethno-nationalist state models like zionism deserve the trashbin of history and I dare any one upholding liberal values to defend an ethno-nationalist state now or in the future, but we all know they've done an trash job in the past.
Yeah, I can understand that, but all the while people & children continue to be slaughtered 🤷♂️ but don’t worry though, September is a good time I’m sure.
(Anger and sarcasm isn’t directed at you OP- just at bureaucracy & politics in general)
Just having him recognize it as a legitimate state doesn't mean the genocide and ethnic cleansing are going to stop. It's still very much just a PR move whether he officially announces it then or now, imo
Secondo Capasa, Presidente di Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, lo sfruttamento nella moda è un fenomeno limitato.
Ad ora sono stati indagati:
• Alviero Martini
• Armani operations
• Dior Manufactures
• Valentino Bags
• Loro Piana
Fenomeni isolati o sistema strutturale?
Si tratta davvero di fenomeni isolati? Oppure la moda è totalmente nella mani della finanza, dei grandi fondi - del lusso (LVMH, Kering, Richemont) e del fast fashion (Shein, Zara, H&M) - espressione del capitalismo puro?
Spazi di resistenza:
🔴 Slow fashion, piccoli brand indipendenti.
🔴 Comunità che rifiutano il consumismo (es. DIY, swap parties).
La domanda vera è: Possiamo immaginare una moda davvero libera dal capitalismo? O è un’utopia?

As a quite new user to the Lemmy universe and the Fediverse concept, I have a basic question, which I could not get answered elsewhere: If an instance (= a community / topic group, e. g. "memes","World news" or "MapPorn" in the example picture) is moving from one server to another (= the name and/or ending changes), how to properly follow the move? And what happens to the "old" instances, that are discontinued? Should I keep them following?

You find out about it the way you did, then follow the new one. I don't think there's a mechanism to do that automatically.
And what happens to the “old” instances, that are discontinued? Should I keep the following?
In this particular case, you can see in the sidebar that the community is locked, i.e. there will not be any new posts, i.e. there is no point in keeping the subscription. It also doesn't hurt anything though.
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) proposed designating Apple and Google with "strategic market status" (SMS) for their mobile platforms, which control 90-100% of UK mobile devices1. The designation would allow the regulator to impose new rules addressing app store fees, review processes, and restrictions on digital wallets1.
The CMA published roadmaps outlining priority actions, including ensuring fair app store rankings, allowing users to be directed to external payment options, and enabling better interoperability between devices1. For Apple specifically, the regulator aims to address restrictions on digital wallets and connected devices like smartwatches2.
Both companies pushed back against the proposals. Apple warned the rules could "undermine privacy and security" and force it to "give away technology for free to foreign competitors"3. Google's competition director Oliver Bethell called the announcement "disappointing and unwarranted"3.
The CMA will make final decisions on the SMS designations by October 22, 2025, with initial interventions expected to begin in autumn 20251. More complex issues, like requiring Apple to allow alternative app stores, have been postponed for consideration until 20264.

Trump’s bitter dislike of renewable energy first erupted publicly 14 years ago in a seemingly trivial spat over wind turbines visible from his Scottish golf course. As Trump returns to Scotland this week, though, he is using the US presidency to squash clean power, with major ramifications for the climate crisis and America’s place in the world.
Although Trump failed in his legal attempt to halt the Scottish wind farm, an enduring scorn towards renewables appears to have been seeded that now has global consequences.
As president, Trump has declared wind and solar projects unwelcome in the US, barring them from federal lands and signing a vast spending bill that demolishes support for a nascent industry that held the promise of revamping the American economy while cutting dangerous planet-heating pollution.
It's so wild. I vacationed in Northern England, about an hour south of Scotland, in Tynemouth, and our whole family found the offshore turbines to be magical.
There's ruins of like a massive 4-6 story monastery from the 15th century, and it's wild because the remnants of the one wall are the tallest thing in town, and have been for centuries. There's literally paintings and drawings going back centuries showing it, and centuries and centuries of people living in the shadow of this partial massive monument that no longer exists.
It's super interesting, but there's also something kind of inherently scary and depressing about feeling like you're seeing ancient remnants of some massive great thing that can no longer be done.
But then at a foggy sunset we saw the off shore turbines and it was genuinely uplifting and magical in a solar punk way. Just the blades peaked out of the fog, and similar to the monastery ruins, they looked too big to be created by humans, but these were actually still working. It felt like it was providing a glimpse into our future massive endeavours, and was one of the most magical moments of the whole trip.
"Wayback is an X11 compatibility layer that allows for running full X11-only desktop environments using Wayland. It is essentially an X11 server backed by Wayland, leveraging wlroots and Xwayland. Our goal is for Wayback to eventually be a completely drop-in replacement to the Xorg binary, thus reducing maintenance burden for distro maintainers."
A more apt comparison would be using the Windows guest to remote into the Linux host via xorg piping, waypipe, VNC, RDP, etcetera, which conveys your feeling of weirdness while being a closer approximation of what this really does.
This project does exactly that, it runs a reimplementation of linux specifically to run wine on platforms that it doesn't natively support. github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine

LOS ANGELES — Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slid in June to the slowest pace since last September as mortgage rates remained elevated and the national median sales price rose to an all-time high of $435,300
Same here. I also kept ignoring my window ac units alert about cleaning the filter until it just stopped working. I cleaned the filter and it magically works a lot better.
The layer of dirt on him was the only thing keeping newer forms of germs from infecting him simce his skin couldnt do it anymore. They washed him and killed him.
A motor that runs at a constant speed all the time can last basically forever. Starting and stopping puts way more stress on the mechanical parts.
Same reason I hate how modern hard drive enclosures force the hard drive to shut down after a period of inactivity. With a lot of workloads it will keep spinning up, stopping, and spinning up again which is a great way to kill the motor.
Well I'm pretty sure my grandpa bought this thing at walmart for like 10$ so idk about a 100 year warranty but it outlived him already. Now it's on to me.
No More Forced Restarts: This is a huge relief for many!. Firefox on Linux no longer requires a forced restart after your package manager applies an update. This means smoother, uninterrupted browsing, even during system updates.
Reduced Memory Usage: ForkServer leads to a significant reduction in memory consumption for content processes. The base resident memory for a content process is now around 50% lower. This helps Firefox run more efficiently, especially if you have many tabs open.
Faster Process Startup: You'll notice that content process startup times are reduced by approximately 35%. This translates to snappier new tab openings and overall improved responsiveness.
I have currently 13 tabs open and I don’t see the issue. RAM is there to be used. I actually expect my programs to extensively cache stuff and use the RAM.
(The other Firefox processes for the individual tabs are cut from the screenshot.)
Absolutely, it's only about convenience. I often miss the fact that firefox is in the list of all the packages that are getting updated and realize it only when I open a new tab and I get the error message, and that's annoying. Very much a first world problem for sure!

Oracle and OpenAI expand Stargate project with 4.5 gigawatts of data center capacity, part of a $500 billion U.S. AI infrastructure investment creating over 100,000 jobs.
Microsoft is also involved in Stargate as a tech partner. So are Arm and Nvidia. Middle East AI fund MGX will join SoftBank in its investment; MGX’s first public deal was an investment in OpenAI.
SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle are also listed as “initial equity investors” in Stargate.
It's interesting that FoxNews omit that the source for big part of that funding is coming from Middle East.
In that situation you're still admitting the threats have power over you; by releasing the photos yourself, you both out the person as fucking scum and demonstrate that their threat was completely impotent, delivering a one-two punch to the ego.
No but adding unsubstantiated comments about how your ex wanted to post revenge porn about you probably is.
Edit: you can stop the down voting, I didn't pick up the part where she screenshotted his threats. Either way, be careful with that sort of vigilante justice as you might be right but still break the law.
You made a very strong claim that she committed a sex crime. You imply her accusations are wrong and malicious. You jumped to that conclusion and took that as fact. And you didn't even bother to read what she did. You judged her without even caring about that.
Not saying you are a bigot, but what you did was bigoted. You should reflect on your behavior, apologize and resolve not to do it again. Only then you could ask for the downvotes to stop lol.
The LinkedIn post about the AI deregulation announcement was a who's who of assholes bleating about how great it would be; CEOs, COOs, from Open AI, Duke Energy, Fascists Anonymous.
The Open AI persons comment was such sausage it had to be his own shitty AI
The joke of Roko's Basilisk is that we really do have a group of people who seem to subscribe to it, often with dogmatic religiosity.
I can't help but wonder if these spoiled rotten dipshits have fully turned their brains over to the bot-farms and LLMs and are now living out the fantasy of a Killer Robot From The Future dangling heaven and hell over their heads until they build this impossible machine.
Most of them are accelerationists. They want the world to collapse, because they want to be kings of their own little nation states and they all think that they’re going to come out ahead simply because they have money and because “if I’ve been so successful up until now with pesky governments just imagine what will happen without them.”
Epstein is a great example. Literally months ago, you had the hogs all hooting over "Lock Hillary Up!" wrt to Bondi's teasing of a secret list of criminals and crooks. Now we're supposed to pretend Jeffery and his Lolita Express flights are all Fake News?
Reminds me of the first few days after the J6 riots, as AM Radio talking heads scrambled to figure out whether they were Based MAGA Champions or Fifth Columnist Antifa Infiltrators trying to make Trump look bad.
Basically they'll allow the use of LLMs in decision making even more. The chatbot kills people? Oopsie, you can't sue us, or you're breaking a federal law!
*Whew* I was just starting to feel anxious that this administration was grossly incompetent and painfully ignorant, but this new approach to *checks notes* . . . letting AI companies steal data so that “we” “win” the “AI race” has really turned that around
It’s unlikely any of this will ever be profitable, the only one making profit from this right now is NVIDIA. Everyone else’s costs dwarf revenue, even just operational costs, not even counting capital expenditure to set this stuff up. None of these companies have a path to profitability, and most of the little revenue is coming from services burning investor money built upon other services that are also burning investor money, or temporary shenanigans like Microsoft trading OpenAI free compute time at their data centers in exchange for IP, or coreweave using their GPUs as collateral against loans to buy more GPUs that get collateralized in turn.
At best the deregulation makes things less unprofitable and drags the bubble out a little longer.
thats why they are trying to cram AI into whatever services they have, google on pixels, micrsoft on its various services,,etc, i think they are just trying to stem bleeding by cramming it in to everything they can.
Which is an absurd thing to do! Getting it in front of more people just increases their costs by creating more load on their data centers. At best it juices investor confidence by pushing up user numbers. It’s not converting people to payed subscriptions at any significant rate, and even then people paying the subscriptions are losing them money because they’re creating way more load than their subscriptions pay for.
What a bunch of fucking idiots. They could be increasing grants for AI research, offering fast-pass visas & citizenship paths to AI experts/PhDs from other countries, and working to increase the availability of necessary resources such as data centers and power. But nope! We're just letting the commercial businesses cut corners so they can profit off of it faster.
Pretty much sums up this administration in a nutshell.
The plan is to win a race for the best auto-correct and predictive text generator? What's the trophy? And how is this being measured, by how much money or results? Because China has DeepSeek and it's already better on both results and cost - so is there a plan?
These fucking idiots never think of the immediate next line of questions and always fail to be ready for basic details or follow ups. They just say whatever they think it takes for people to like them.
Uuuuh Bush wants a word. He may not be THIS stupid but he earned being called stupid a long time ago.
And I maintain, idiots are in power for far longer than you claim. Just because now there's a competition, it doesn't diminish how useless other administrators were.
Exactly what we need in a bubble. There is no there there.. okay, no profit there; just a big bottomless money pit and a bunch of tech edgelords fantasizing.
The only "wins" for this current US regime are negative records: most cruel, most degenerate, most stupid, most racist, and so on. And the "grand prize" for these wins will be war (civil or conventional) plus a spot in history among the worst people ever to destabilize and rule a country.
The race to develop uncontrollable superintelligent processes for which the goal of maintaining Earth’s biosphere is a competitive disadvantage? No humans win this race.
So what you're saying is only the right kind of people should be allowed to vote?
I do think though that there should be some sort of basic test to prove that you actually understand the various policies an administration is pushing, not at a deep level but just the most basic surface level that you could get from a 10-minute Google search or by watching a single video. Just prove that you actually know what you're voting for because otherwise why even vote?
Well you'd have to strip out most of the history books then, oh and anything to do with social science, also get rid of all of the biology textbooks because they explain where babies come from and conservatives don't like that sort of thing.
Basically it's just going to be sports statistics and gun manuals. There probably isn't enough information in there to build an AI, as you need quite a broad base of input for it to work.
I was trying to read the EO last night and unless I'm fucked up I thought the EO pertained to just stuff the government has anything to do with? AI they would fund or aquire etc please correct me if I'm wrong I got lost in the sauce last night

The creators of an AI tool and Discord community that allowed people to create AI videos of NBA stars says that it got a cease-and-desist letter from lawyers representing LeBron James. This marks one of the first known times that a high-profile celebrity has threatened legal action against an AI company for enabling the creation of nonconsensual AI imagery of their likeness. It is also one of the first times we’ve seen a celebrity take legal action against a type of nonconsensual but not strictly sexual type of AI-generated content, which is rampant on Instagram and other social media

So unfortunately websites routinely and carelessly lie about basically everything related to data protection stuff. This already begins with the term "technically necessary cookies". No cookie is truly technically necessary. What they usually mean by that is "we really really want to put this tracking cookie from our ad partners like Google into your browser, and we don't care whether you want that or not so we just claim it's technically necessary". But even if you refuse a cookie prompt, often your choice isn't respected at all and cookies are created regardless. In fact, many cookies are already created at the very beginning before you make any choice in any sort of cookie banner. Basically this whole ad/tracking industry is a complete mess and no one really cares and it's just best to completely ignore what sites claim and use technical means to protect yourself at least a little bit because you cannot trust ANY site's claims regarding that. Most of the time, even the phrase "we value your privacy" is already the very first and biggest lie. Don't trust what websites claim. It's pointless, and nothing happens when they violate their own rules or data protection laws anyway. Which they do almost all of the time anyway. This illegality is routine and almost omni-present. Cookies are also far from the only thing that sites can use to track you. They're just the most well-known method, which is probably why we have these near-pointless laws requiring sites to put up near-pointless banners to annoy visitors with.
So as a user, you should just ignore any of that and completely rely on technical means to protect yourself from any or most kinds of shenanigans websites can do to you. Most privacy-respecting browsers have features that limit what sites are able to do with you, such as cookie isolation which prevents other sites from being able to read the contents of cookies belonging to other sites. Or more general, isolation of any website data, not just limited to cookies. But not every browser has these types of protection. If you use very common browsers like Chrome, Edge or Opera, then it's likely that you have none of that because the developers of those browsers are companies which profit from the user being more easily trackable through the web.
So the easiest solution as a user is to use a privacy-respecting, well-pre-configured browser like Librewolf or Mullvad Browser, and use uBlock Origin as the only extension with several enabled filter lists. This alone makes you a much harder tracking target. And of course you can safely ignore or block any cookie notices, it doesn't really matter what you select in them most of the time anyway. Although your IP address is still always a liability with ANY browser, because it can be fairly easily linked to your person and you will expose your IP address with any regular browser, so if you want to browse anonymously you should use the Tor Browser (with mostly default settings and no additional extensions). That means that you won't have ad blocking protection, but at the same time the site and any ad servers don't know who you are anyway (you're just some random person from a random country for them), unless you make a mistake and log into a personally-identifiable account or so. The Tor Browser also contains the most amount of anti-tracking and anti-fingerprinting techniques possible. For casual anonymous browsing you should absolutely use the Tor Browser, because with it it's highly unlikely that a website is able to identify you. Its main disadvantages are that it's slower, some sites block that kind of browser, and since you shouldn't add any other extensions you will see ads with it, but your identity still remains protected unless you make a mistake. Still, it should be your go-to browser for anonymous browsing. Switch to your regular browser for when you want to log in to an account with personal details.
The easy way for iOS users (to which I count myself) is not to exchange Safari for worse like Big Data Chrome or Chinese Opera, but simply activate the Private Relay in the settings, so you are safer and more comfortable on the road.
It would be better to take another browser, even if they are all WebKit here at the moment.
My tip right now is to use Orion, for screwing, but also in the basic settings, with Kagi (if you are willing to pay for searches) or Startpage as a search engine. Or DuckDuckGo Browser as a no-brainer.
A chic VPN like the one from Proton or Nord and the party should be safe for now.
There are plenty of older documentaries, mostly mainstream posted on Youtube about this case. Here are a couple to view, one by an influencer, the other a mainstream media with interviews, dubbed in English.

TLDR; notorious pedophile murderer Marc Dutroux claimed he actually worked for "certain people in the government" when procuring victims. It was never proven in court, but I'll believe it.
Marc Dutroux is a Belgian serial killer whose case provoked outrage at the lax response of law enforcement agencies. So intense was the public’s reaction that more than one-third of Belgians with the surname Dutroux changed their names.
I just dgaf anymore. I'll still vote blue every time, but I just DO NOT GIVE A FUCK. ABOUT ANYTHING POLITICAL. Fascist can have it, they keep getting voted in
If you don't give a fuck, maybe prove it by ignoring it and moving on, instead of DECLARING IN ALL CAPS YOU DONT CARE ABOUT IT
Because otherwise, how it comes across as is "I find politics highly annoying/uncomfortable for some reason, but I also want people to know that about me!"
In Poland we even have the term for that "Serial suicider" though in Poland people end up dead like that usually because they have some evidence about what current politicians of PiS and PO and their business patrons did in 90's and how they ended up rich back then.
This kind of random shit with Microsoft just blows my mind.
Google is just as bad. Look at their messaging apps. Is it Duo? No that name died and was merged into Google Meet. However, old Google Meet is....uh....Google Meet Classic? I think? And then there is/was Google Voice, Allo, Google Talk.......
And people wonder why I just use and donate to apps like Signal.

Figlio del famoso musicista nigeriano Fela Kuti, in venticinque anni di produzione discografica Femi non ha mai tradito la rivoluzione afrobeat, un'identità culturale che resta viva nonostante la realtà sottostante abbia perso quei connotati di urgenza e rabbia che infiammò la stagione d’oro della musica africana. Polistrumentista abile sia con i fiati che con le tastiere, Femi si è dimostrato acuto nel contaminare gli elementi base dell’orchestra Egypt 80 con tracce di Motown sound e elementi dance, mentre il fingerpicking ossessivo delle chitarre, i fiati in coppia e gli incessanti fluidi ritmici di basso e percussioni si sono incontrati con suoni latini e world che hanno ampliato la capacità comunicativa della sua proposta... ondarock.it/recensioni/2013_fe…
Quella che oggi definiamo disinformazione è stata presente fin dai tempi antichi, talvolta celata dietro il velo della mitologia e della leggenda.
Gli albori delle civiltà, spesso, affondano le proprie radici in racconti di fantasia, dichiaratamente falsi o privi di solide basi storiche. E se consideriamo che le società attuali conservano caratteristiche di quelle civiltà che sono sopravvissute ai millenni (si pensi a cosa rappresenta il diritto romano per il dirittomoderno, ad esempio) si può dire che a livello culturale la narrazione sull’origine delle nostre stesse società e di molti loro tratti essenziali potrebbe derivare da millenarie e mirabili menzogne.
Quando si pensa all’eredità romana in Svizzera e nel resto dell’Europa occidentale, la mente va spesso ai grandi monumenti, agli anfiteatri o agli acquedotti. Nei paesi di lingua neolatina, la stessa lingua ricorda l’influsso romano.
My point is Let's imagine we have a board on some instance. You use your account on another instance to ask the owner of the board to give you access to the board. The contents of the board are, IMO in most cases of such boards, "members only". So any changes happening inside should not be sent out to federating instances. Otherwise, privacy of such boards would be at the mercy of privacy of other instances. If restricted changes were sent out, technically speaking, any server it federates to can choose to show that content to everyone. Which means you won't be able to access the contents via any other instance. Apart from the logging in part, you will still need to go to the instance hosting the board. Unless it would be for publicly accessible boards only, like codeberg issues. That use-case could work
