(ICW-NRU) Meta Leaks Part 1: Israel & Meta, The Greatest Global Mass Censorship Campaign to Ever Exist
There are more leaks that will be shared in the coming days. Many of which are related to mass censorship, theft, fraud going on at Meta.
This is just one leak related to censorship and Israel. There are still more.
I think it's implied that the predator did kill a lot of them, otherwise they wouldn't have the demon legend.
But predators also have a stricter moral code than humanity's big game / trophy / regular hunters, who mostly kill defenseless creatures. They won't kill anything unarmed, or who can't harm. And in predator 2 they refuse to kill a captured prey (danny glover) that successfully defended himself and killed one of their own, and even give him one of their trophies out of respect.
Overall tho hunting is an activity mostly done by bored bourgeois parasites... the villian of the short story the most dangerous game is a russian tsarist aristocrat who hunts people for fun.
like this
Its also shown in later movies that various other predators will hurt weak creatures if it serves their purposes. The original predator (dubbed "The Jungle Hunter" by the fandom, I guess) seems to have been one of the more "moral" individual Yujata.
Which I think it is pretty fucking interesting

androidastica sparizione delle icone dei ragni (glitch per cui le scorciatoie web spariscono dal launcher)
Tutte le volte che penso, presumo, ritengo di odiare tremendamente Android… puntualmente scopro che il mio odio è sempre più basso di quello che davvero dovrebbe essere per questo sistema oberativo letteralmente bacato, infestato dai problemi, introgolato di merda che porca puttana… SPARISCONO LE FOTTUTE SCORCIATOIE SULLA SCHERMATA HOME!!! Una roba così pestifera non è mai successa nemmeno su Windows, o qualunque altro sistema che notoriamente non funziona mai bene… Sarà forse questo, la sparizione delle icone, che i fanboy segretamente intendono quando dicono che “su Android tutto è possibile“…??? 😫Più di preciso, qualche settimana fa mi stavo (ri)lamentando di questo problema per cui a volte, a caso, quando gli piace a lui, stranamente non sempre (insomma, non è manco un bug ricreabile al 100%), dopo un riavvio del sistema mi spariscono tutte (zio totalitario…) le scorciatoie ai siti, sia normali che PWA, appunto dalla home… ma mai nessuna scorciatoia ad app native. A quel punto però avevo preso atto della merdata, avevo imputato immediatamente tutta la colpa al launcher di MIUI (dato che non ricordo questa cosa succedere su altri dispositivi o altre ROM), e avevo quindi installato Lawnchair (usando il terminale per superare il blocco di cambio launcher), e perdendo così 20 crediti sociali… 💔
Peccato che stamattina è successo di nuovo, dopo che ho dovuto riavviare il telefono perché dal nulla mentre lo stavo usando aveva preso a glitcharsi, con la app che avevo in foreground che era crashata e la home che mostrava una schermata nera anziché caricare il launcher… e quindi, sotto sotto, la colpa non era di Xiaomi, e quindi ancora una volta la deduzione dei miei crediti sociali si rivela giustificata. In effetti, cercando un po’ meglio dell’altra volta, ho trovato sul web delle segnalazioni di questo preciso glitch… e in effetti la cosa non pare legata per niente a Xiaomi: . 🙀
Mi verrebbe da pensare che non ho mai notato questa rogna nel lontano passato solo perché non usavo così tante webapp… ma sul tablet attualmente ho più o meno la stessa quantità di scorciatoie del telefono, eppure rimozioni coatte lì non ne ho ancora (ancora…) mai (mai!!!) viste. Comunque sia, un fatto rimane, e cioè che questo è un fottuto problema, perché le scorciatoie alle webapp MI SERVONO! E il perché lo dice il nome stesso: sono short-cuts, servono a tagliare corto, cosa che è specialmente necessaria su un dispositivo che già è laggante… ma poi perché le webapp vanno per forza installate sulla home per fungere da PWA, quindi avere la loro scheda nella schermata multitasking e non avere l’interfaccia del browser in alto a rubare spazio. 😵La cosa più strana è che, a questo punto, non riesco a comprendere a cosa sia quindi dovuto il problema. Tolti launcher e ROM, penserei al browser stesso (o parte di esso, in caso di fork), nonostante una app Android di per sé non abbia alcun modo di far sparire le sue stesse scorciatoie… ma, nonostante buona parte delle volte le icone che spariscono sono quelle di Mulch (Chromium), sono abbastanza sicura di aver visto anche quelle poche di Firefox che ancora avevo in giro venir spedite al regno delle ombre, una (1) volta quella settimana passata in cui cringiavo con i launcher e mi si era inspiegabilmente resettato il predefinito da Lawnchair a quello MIUI dopo un riavvio. La stringa di Intent per le scorciatoie di Chromium è perfettamente identica a qualsiasi di deep link per qualsiasi app nativa, se non per il fatto che il nome interno è un UUID anziché il nome della Activity ripetuto, quindi perché cazzo spariscono??? 🌋
Un telefono con la mela stampata dietro, ovviamente, non posso permettermelo, nonostante (almeno, penso, poi che la mia aura sia capace di far spuntare sempre bug in tutto è un’altra storia) lì le icone non prendano a fottutamente sparire da un momento all’altro dalla home… quindi, che cazzo si fa??? Non lo so. A parte magari provare Edge (sigh) anche sul telefono oltre che sul tablet, perché hanno cambiato talmente tanta roba in quel robo che forse il bug non c’è… potrei solo rispolverare l’idea del browserocto, quel browserino minimale fatto principalmente per le webapp che non fu mai completato… Ma comunque CHE PALLE, sia mai che le cose funzionino! 😭

Unreleased Movie Screeners Leak Online, Including Star-Studded 'In the Hand of Dante'
Just weeks before its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Julian Schnabel's star-studded film 'In the Hand of Dante' has suffered a major setback after a high-quality screener copy leaked online. The leak is not an isolated incident as copies of other unreleased movies have also appeared online, some of which also have an Italian connection.

📊 Solo il 6% della plastica è usato per l’abbigliamento. Perché la moda inquina così tanto?
Uno studio dell’UNDP rivela che solo il 6% della plastica globale finisce nell’abbigliamento, contro il 31% degli imballaggi o il 16% dell’edilizia. Eppure, la moda è spesso considerata uno dei settori più inquinanti al mondo. Come mai?
🔍 Cosa non dice quel 6%?
I dati dell’UNDP misurano solo la plastica come materia prima, ma l’impatto della moda va ben oltre:
• 🌊 Inquinamento idrico: Il 20% dell’inquinamento industriale delle acque viene dalle tinture tessili (Banca Mondiale). I tessuti sintetici (es. poliestere) rilasciano microplastiche, responsabili del 35% dell’inquinamento da microplastiche negli oceani (IUCN).
• ☁️ Emissioni : La moda produce 4-10% delle emissioni globali di CO₂ (più di aerei e navi insieme, UNEP).
• 🗑️ Rifiuti : Ogni secondo, un camion di vestiti finisce in discarica o viene bruciato (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). Meno dell’1% viene riciclato.
• 💧 Risorse: Una maglietta di cotone richiede 2.700 litri d’acqua (WWF).
🏆 La moda è davvero il 2° settore più inquinante?
Dipende dagli studi:
• 1° posto: Petrolio e gas.
• 2° posto: Alcuni includono la moda per l’insieme di danni (acqua, CO₂, rifiuti). Altri la piazzano dopo agricoltura o allevamento.✅ Conclusione
Quel 6% è solo la punta dell’iceberg. L’inquinamento della moda deriva dall’intero ciclo: produzione, uso, smaltimento. Serve un cambio sistemico, non solo sostituire il poliestere.
Cosa fare?
• Sostenere la moda circolare.
• Comprare meno, indossare di più.
• Pretendere trasparenza dai brand.📌 Fonte: UNDP | Ellen MacArthur Foundation

'Anti-Racist' ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt Laments Rising 'Intermarriage Rates' Among Jews
Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, in an interview with the Jewish newspaper The Algemeiner released on Thursday, lamented that "intermarriage rates" are continuing to rise among Jews.
ADL CEO JONATHAN GREENBLATT: I have met a lot of October 8th Jews for whom the massacre on October 7th was a wake-up call. I've met a lot of people who feel much more galvanized, much more organized. But that will only be sustained if we offer them, you know, ways to participate in a real and robust way in Jewish life.COHEN: And whose responsibility is that?
GREENBLATT: All of ours. But like, this is why we need a revolution in our community, on so many levels. So look, the reality is is that intermarriage rates continue to go up. Assimilation continues apace.
And look, I fight anti-Semitism. That is my job. But I worry a great deal about broader questions of Jewish identity, as I think we talked about over lunch. And so I think it's really important that our synagogues, our schools, summer camps, all of our institutions and the federations and denominations and other groups that sort of manage them. I think we all need to look in the mirror and make sure that we're doing everything we can to adapt and to iterate and to be part of where the world is going, not just where the world has been.
The ADL, as the leading "anti-racist" and "anti-hate" group in the country, decries opposition to intermarriage on their website and even has an entire curriculum for American school children encouraging intermarriage titled "Winning the Right to Marry: Historic Parallels."

good ideas about how to give more user agency in a scrolling list of content
Is a daily-driver computer built on top of a hypervisor a bad idea?
TLDR; tell me if this is a waste of time before I spend forever tinkering on something that will always be janky
I want to run multiple OSs on one machine including Linux, Windows, and maybe OSX from a host with multiple GPUs + igpu. I know there are multiple solutions but I'm looking for advice, opinions and experience. I know I can google how-to but is this worh pursuing?
I currently dual boot Bazzite and Ubuntu, for gaming and develoent respectively. I love Bazzite ease of updates and Ubuntu is where it's at for testing and building frontier AI/ML tools.
What if I kept my computer running a thin hypervisor 24/7 and switched VMs based on my working context? I could pass through hardware as needed.
Proxmox? XCP-NG? Debian + QEMU? Anyone living with these as their computing machines (not homelabs/server hosts)?
This is inspired by Chris Tidus's (YouTube) setup on arch but 1) i don't know arch 2) I have a fairly beefy i7 265k 192gb build, but he's on an enterprise xenon ddr5 build so in a differenrent power class 3) I have a heterogenous mix of graphics cards I'm hoping to pass though depending on workload
Use cases:
* Bazzite + 1 gpu for gaming
* Ubuntu + 1 or more GPUs for work
* Windows + 0 or more GPU Music Production paid vstis and kernel-level anti cheat games (GTAV, etc)
* OSX? Lightroom? GPU?
Edit: Thank you all for your thoughts and contributions
Edit: what I've learned
* this is viable but might be a pain
* a Windows VM for getting around anti-cheat in vames defeats the purpose. I'd need a dual boot for that use case
* hyperV is a no. Qubes Qemu libvirt, yes
* may want to just put everything on sparate disks and boot / VM into them as needed
Edit: distrobox/docker works great but doesn't fit all my needs because I can't install kernel-level modules in them (AFAIK)

Call for action: Help draw attention to ForgeFed

new academic book about the fediverse just released!!!
Better social media is possible.
In his new book Move Slowly and Build Bridges, Robert W. Gehl tells the story of the activists, software developers, artists, and everyday people who have built the fediverse, a noncentralized alternative social media system. Unlike big tech corporations like Facebook, TikTok, or X, the fediverse is comprised of thousands of small, independent communities who use a Web protocol to communicate with one another.
These small communities govern themselves and moderate content at the human scale — compare that to Facebook and X, which try to moderate global conversations. And the fediverse isn’t built in order to gather user data and sell attention to marketers — it’s a more privacy-respecting social media alternative.
The most notable part of the fediverse is Mastodon. Founded in 2016, Mastodon was positioned as an alternative to Twitter. Like Twitter (or X), Mastodon members can post, like, share, and connect with one another across the world. Unlike Twitter/X, Mastodon can be completely under the control of its members, from how it’s run to its underlying software.
Making a noncentralized, ethically run social media system isn’t easy. The people building the fediverse have faced long hours, burnout, angry debates, and, worst of all, bigotry, death threats, and discrimination. They face constant, nagging doubts: Can we really do this? Can noncentralized social media survive in a world that is used to corporate social media? Can we—all of us—have our own social media?
As Move Slowly and Build Bridges shows us, the answer is yes, but it’s going to take a struggle.

Banning protests in the UK under the fake guise of terrorism is a despicable move that makes us no different to Russia or China or countries we are supposedly superior to because of our moral human rights framework.
Gaza has proved all of this to be a hoax. It shows that tolerating a genocide and war crimes against brown people only invites the same authoritarian tactics to be rolled out against Western populations when they become troublesome.

Ill conceived idea to resurrect a dead torrent
Hi, let me know if this is obviously stupid and won't work. I'm an old pirate but obviously still pretty uneducated. I've got a dead torrent that's a collection of roms. 4 seeders, 800 abandoned peers (ungrateful basterds). Seeders are rarely online or can't provide more than 8% after a week. The roms are pretty mainstream and it's strange for this torrent to have been abandoned.
If I can find find the exact releases of as many roms as possible in the collection from other singular sources, can I resurrect this torrent by just copy+overwrite into the unfinished folder? is it that simple or is this hubris? am I too old to be this stupid?

Just got a new GPU, why is it so hard to use it?
Hey all, just got a Geforce 5070 to replace my 2070 from years ago. Ubuntu's been pretty smooth sailing for me until now, and I'm not exactly the best at navigating this stuff.
When Ubuntu starts to boot, the GPU stops outputting display to my monitor. As though it doesn't detect the new GPU. I tried putting the 2070 back in and downloading the 570 drivers but it didn't change anything. I found a tutorial for what seemed to be my issue that asked me to change the kernel, but halfway through the tutorial, commands that worked on their machine started failing on mine. I wish I'd documented what the error messages were because when I went to poke around more today, I got a message about kernel panic and can't even boot with the 2070. Where do I go from here?

Your VPS provider will likely just forward copyright infringement letters to you, same as your ISP would, or they'll suspend your account.
It will hide your ISP IP from torrent peers, but the VPS provider still knows exactly who you are.
but how hard is it for the vps traffic to be traced back to me?
Very easy by the VPS provider, as the VPS has a static IP assigned to you.

Vuoto a perdere 06: o mio o di nessun altro!
MONDO REALE: Freddie Mercury non ha mai avuto dei figli ma Mary Austin, la donna che lui ha amato, sì.
Il frontman dei Queen però era appassionato di gatti e per questo ha scritto una canzone per la sua preferita. Delilah.
FANTASIA: Mark Wilson scopre un segreto molto personale su Freddie intercettando alcune lettere a lui indirizzate, e la decisione è presa: Freddie, di quella corrispondenza, non saprà mai; è un’arma troppo potente nelle mani di Mark!
Racconto aggiornato dopo la pubblicazione iniziale (2021)
Vuoto a perdere: o mio, o di nessun altro!
Per giorni il mio defunto compagno Andrew continuò a ripetermelo nel sogno: “Dissangua il mio gifter, porta la sua anima da me!”
Dalla sera in cui Freddie si era tagliato un dito durante una cena, l’idea di ottenere il suo sangue diventò un’ossessione e più passava il tempo, più la determinazione si tramutò in rabbia.
“Se Freddie non sarà mio, nessun altro lo avrà!” dicevo tra me, ogni volta che mi alzavo dal letto e mi guardavo nello specchio.
Non riuscii mai però ad avvicinarlo davvero: lo vedevo girare insieme al suo staff, sorridere, parlare con l’assistente Melania ma era impossibile avere un’occasione per stare da solo con lui.
Non restò altro che studiare un piano per tendergli una trappola che l’avrebbe potuto dissanguare ma sfortunatamente, documentandomi grazie ai pochi mezzi di informazione disponibili, capii quanto il virus HIV fosse debole: la trasmissione non avviene senza contatto diretto col sangue del malato!
Il piano del dissanguatore
La sola speranza per me era stare lì mentre accadeva, e raccogliere il prezioso fluido in velocità: Ogni qual volta pulivo la sua stanza, cercavo di escogitare un sistema per sabotare un lampadario, una finestra, qualsiasi altro oggetto di vetro che potesse infrangersi su di lui mentre dormiva e io sarei corso ad aiutarlo, guarda caso mi sarei tagliato e poi…
No, alla fine decisi che non valeva la pena; troppo rischioso per la mia reputazione, mi avrebbero accusato di omicidio facendomi finire come Mark David Chapman, l’uomo che nel 1980 sparò a John Lennon. Povero idiota, quando John venne portato via rimase lì a leggersi Il Giovane Holden aspettando gli eventi, ma non ebbe alcun legame col proprio mito.
Io invece, facendo le cose per bene, potevo essere unito a Freddie per sempre e, soprattutto, diffondere il virus consentendo al mio idolo di vivere per l’eternità. E pazienza se per il mondo sarei stato l’ennesimo criminale! Mi sentivo coperto, nella mia falsa identità di William Karson.
Buone notizie?
Assorto nei miei pensieri non mi accorsi immediatamente di qualcuno che bussava alla porta della mia stanza; “Karson, c’è bisogno di te!” Mi disse Jim, il compagno di Freddie, quando aprii.
Stringeva in mano una busta. “Questa l’hanno mandata un paio di giorni fa destinata a Freddie, e appena ho letto da dove arriva mi sei venuto in mente subito.”
Allora era vero, hanno letto il mio curriculum prima di assumermi! Presi la lettera fra le dita e mi lasciai andare a un sospiro di malinconia, quando lessi la provenienza del mittente: Bugliano, culla e tomba per i miei sogni di scienziato.
Ricordai immediatamente il mio passato da studente di medicina, quando la speranza di sconfiggere l’AIDS con le mie sole forze, mi aveva indotto persino a fare pace con chi mi aveva sempre bullizzato. Raymond Still, che quando mi bocciarono, diede un colpo di spugna alla nostra inaspettata amicizia e mi umiliò il doppio.
Promozioni e fallimenti
“Mark Wilson, Lei può solo pulire i gabinetti”, mi disse impietoso l’insegnante quando provai a contestare il risultato finale; e Ray Still non mosse un dito per difendermi, anzi mi voltò le spalle per godersi la sua promozione con tutti gli onori!
Soltanto pochi mesi dopo aver accettato il lavoro a casa di Freddie Mercury, scoprii che mentre io facevo le pulizie Raymond Still aveva fatto carriera e avviato un’importante ricerca su HIV, con tanto di annuncio: “Sto cercando una celebrità risultata positiva al virus per sperimentare il mio nuovo studio. L’HIV, opportunamente modificato, può trasmettere emozioni e talento da una persona all’altra!”
Quale occasione migliore per fargli sapere di Freddie?
Stringendo ancora fra le mani la busta consegnatami da Jim, ripensai alla mia lettera appena spedita a Raymond in risposta al suo annuncio; gli avevo raccontato per filo e per segno la positività di Freddie ma anche dopo giorni dall’invio della missiva, non ricevetti alcun riscontro.
E se la busta in mano mia contenesse proprio la risposta di Ray, che da Bugliano voleva parlare direttamente con Freddie?
Non mi feci alcuno scrupolo e me la misi in tasca: “Mai paura, Jim! La porto io al capo, il messaggio è in buone mani.”
Inizio di un inganno
Alla svelta, chiusi la porta della mia stanza e tirata fuori la lettera, iniziai a leggere quel foglio scritto a penna:
Sono incinta, amore della mia vita. Aspettiamo una bambina, il nostro miracolo ma anche la mia più grande paura.Il mondo è un posto crudele e sento di non essere capace di proteggerla abbastanza perché sono in Russia, sposata con un violento.
“Che cosa? Freddie ha una figlia in Russia, o a Bugliano? Dove? Poco importa”, pensai. Se è vero non lo saprà mai! Richiusi la busta come nulla fosse e la nascosi nella mia borsa. Sarei stato l’unico a conoscere il segreto, avrei girato il mondo per trovare quella presunta bambina, dopodiché Freddie sarebbe stato mio, e solo mio!

Some people think that's funny, some people think "Libs bad, upvotes to the left" is funny.
