In the lead-up to Labor Day in the United States, President Donald Trump escalated his attack on the union rights of federal employees with an executive order that claims to "enhance" national security.
One labor leader called it "another clear example of retaliation against federal employee union members who have bravely stood up against his anti-worker, anti-American plan to dismantle the federal government."

Hey guys! So I have a simple dilemma. The computer i use for video/movies is on a vpn. Sometimes I want to move those videos to my nas.
Now I am just using the mulvad program on the local pc (linux). I dont have it installed on my router (and im not sure if I will yet, since with slowdowns and some sites and applications not working on a VPN, I dont really need it network wide at this point)
But my problem is, my nas isn't accessible from the pc, unless I shut off the VPN, which I dont want to do when in the middle of a big download. Also, it would be nice sometimes to download right to my nas so I dont need to move files.
Is there a somewhat easy solution? Im decently savvy but networking still confuses me sometimes.
i JUST saw that setting! that helps. though i'm trying to keep this pc mostly isolated from my home network, i think checking that option just to move files over and then rechecking it would be fine with me.
You could add your NAS local address to not go through your VPN using advanced split tunneling on Linux. Look at the docs from Mullvad it might help you do what you want : mullvad.net/en/help/split-tunn…
I don't typically use a VPN so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure what you're looking for is split tunneling. Set it so that all traffic goes through your VPN except the IP of your NAS.
Depending on which VPN you're using, you might be able to put the NAS on the VPN too. If for example you use Nord, they have a feature called Meshnet that gives each computer a unique hostname that you can access via the VPN.
I think tailscale would fit your use case perfectly.
You can install tailscale on your computer and your NAS. This way, there is a tunnel between your computer and your NAS. In practice you will have a separate IP address for your NAS that you can use from your computer.
It also means that you will have secure access to your NAS from wherever in the world as long as you have internet access.
Then, Mullvad and tailscale are integrated together. It means that from tailscale you get the Mullvad add-on that allows you to use Mullvad as exit-point. Meaning that all your traffic that is not in your tailscale network will go through Mullvad (so in your case everything except your NAS)
It's been two years that I am using that and it's working great for me.
A better option, use a container that connects whatever torrent program to the VPN. Only that will be on the PN, and depending how it's setup it will only connect to the VPN, making it unable to leak your IP address if the connection fails. You can just sftp into the NAS that way and is by far the easiest solution.
Google now reports that the Salesloft Drift breach is larger than initially thought, warning that attackers also used stolen OAuth tokens to access a small number of Google Workspace email accounts in addition to stealing data from Salesforce instances.
Just to be clear, if you know where to look these recipes are available online. So all the AI is doing is making it easier for the average idiot to access this information, but people who are stopped from accessing the information simply by it not being super easily available, are probably not going to be building bombs in the first place, at least not to completion.
It's not even that hard, at least conceptually, to build a dirty bomb. The difficult part would be getting hold of the radioactive material.
When I was growing up, you had to go to the mall, and purchase the anarchist cook book if you wanted bomb recipes. Or go to the library. You kids got it easy today...

Just like society, the web moves forward when people think, compare, and discover for themselves. Vivaldi believes the act of browsing is an active one. It is about seeking, questioning, and making up your own mind.
Across the industry, artificial assistants are being embedded directly into browsers, and pitched as a quicker path to answers. Google is bringing Gemini into Chrome to summarize pages and, in future, work across tabs and navigate sites on a user’s behalf. Microsoft is promoting Edge as an AI browser, including new modes that scan what is on screen and anticipate actions.
These moves are reshaping the address bar into an assistant prompt, turning the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship.
This shift has major consequences for the web as we know it. Independent research shows users are less likely to click through to original sources when an AI summary is present, which means fewer visits for publishers, creators, and communities that keep the web vibrant. A recent study by PewResearch found users clicked traditional results roughly half as often when AI summaries appeared. Publishers warn of dramatic traffic losses when AI overviews sit above links.
The stakes are high. New AI-native browsers and agent platforms are arriving, while regulators debate remedies that could reshape how people reach information online. The next phase of the browser wars is not about tab speed, it is about who intermediates knowledge, who benefits from attention, who controls the pathway to information, and who gets to monetize you.
Today, as other browsers race to build AI that controls how you experience the web, we are making a clear promise:
We’re taking a stand, choosing humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship. Without exploration, the web becomes far less interesting. Our curiosity loses oxygen and the diversity of the web dies.

The field of machine learning in general remains an exciting one and may lead to features that are actually useful.
But right now, there is enough misinformation going around to risk adding more to the pile. We will not use an LLM to add a chatbot, a summarization solution or a suggestion engine to fill up forms for you, until more rigorous ways to do those things are available.
Vivaldi is the haven for people who still want to explore. We will continue building a browser for curious minds, power users, researchers, and anyone who values autonomy. If AI contributes to that goal without stealing intellectual property, compromising privacy or the open web, we will use it. If it turns people into passive consumers, we will not.
We will stay true to our identity, giving users control and enabling people to use the browser in combination with whatever tools they want to use. Our focus is on building a powerful personal and private browser for you to explore the web on your own terms. We will not turn exploration into passive consumption.
Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over…
My understanding from recent reporting is that Gmail’s spam filters routinely block messages from reaching consumers when those messages come from Republican senders but fail to block similar messages sent by Democrats. Indeed, according to recent reporting, Alphabet has “been caught this summer flagging Republican fundraising emails as ‘dangerous’ spam— keeping them from hitting Gmail users’ inboxes—while leaving similar solicitations from Democrats untouched….” Likewise, commenters on the FTC’s request for information regarding Technology Platform Censorship have complained that Google is using a partisan approach in administering its spam filters. And finally, as you know, similar concerns have resulted in ongoing litigation against Google in other settings.

PSA: Don't use gmail. Sure, it is a good email and is free. And you may not care about privacy, even though you should. But the bigger danger is your e-mail being tied to your wider google and youtube account. Get banned for spamming youtube live chat, or writing "inappropriate" comment, or maybe for using ad-blocker in the future, and you can say goodbeye not just to your youtube account, but emails and drive data. This has already happend in the past, when youtube algorithm evaluated votening in livestream chat by sending 1 or 2 as spam and banned peoples entire google accounts.

Building on actions from Hands Off to May Day to No Kings, Good Trouble, and others, workers across the country are calling for 2,000+ rallies on Labor Day (September 1) this year.
Unions and community groups planned May 1st to expose the billionaire agenda driving Trump’s authoritarian rise and center the conversation on the impact on working people specifically, demanding a unifying platform of:
Stop the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration.
Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.
Fully funded schools, healthcare, and housing for all.
Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.
Invest in people not wars.
Now, organizers say that the urgency is only growing to stop the billionaire agenda that has taken over the federal government. Instead of making life more affordable, lifting wages for workers, or repairing generations of racial injustice, the Trump administration is dismantling the government, overseeing mass firings, and gutting worker protections and social services in order to transfer wealth to the 1% and to fund Trump’s private army of ICE agents.
Every October, Microsoft host an Employee Giving campaign for charities chosen by staff, with the company matching any funds they raise. During last October’s Giving month, a group of Microsoft workers organised a vigil for Palestinians killed by the Israeli military during the current invasion of Gaza, stumping up donations for organisations such as the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, while paying tribute to fellow tech workers who’ve lost their lives in the war.
"We were honouring the likes of Shaaban Ahmed al-Dalou, who was a computer science student that got martyred in Gaza," says Abdo Mohamed, one of the organisers and a former Microsoft machine learning engineer. "We were honouring the likes of Aisha Noor Ize-Iji, who was a Washington state resident who had been killed in the West Bank. We were honouring Mai Ubeid, another Palestinian martyr who was a tech worker, and someone who worked with [Google-funded programming bootcamp] Gaza Sky Geeks. People deserved to hear their stories - the Palestinians who had been victims of the genocide deserved a space to be honoured, not to be reduced to numbers." If you’re a white secular westerner like me, you may recoil instinctively from the religiously loaded word "martyr" here – Bassem Saad has written at length about the history of the term as Palestinians use it to describe those killed by Israeli forces.
The vigil was small - "around 50 people, sitting in chairs side by side, in an open space during lunch hour" - and in line with company guidance for such events, Mohamed claims. But at around 9pm that evening he and another organiser, Hossam Nasr, received an email telling them that they had been fired, with Microsoft later claiming that the event "disrupted" work, and should have taken place outside the campus. For Mohamed, the firing reflects Microsoft’s general disinclination to give employees a "safe space" in which to air their grievances about both Israel's treatment of Palestinians, and Microsoft's alleged complicity in supplying technology to the Israel Defense Forces. Rather, Mohamed says, "Microsoft had built this culture of intimidation, retaliation and oppression for anyone who felt the need to speak about what's happening in Gaza”.
If Microsoft hoped to quell such discussion or at least, drive the issue off-campus, their clampdown on criticism backfired. Earlier this month, current and former Microsoft workers with the No Azure For Apartheid movement occupied part of the company’s Redmond, Washington campus with tents and signs, demanding that their employers cease doing business with Israel's military. Just this week, protestors held another sit-in at the company president’s office. NAFA members have even pitched up outside Satya Nadella's lakefront house in canoes. And now, the backlash threatens to engulf Microsoft's entertainment business.

When Caron Morse’s 9-year-old daughter asked for a smartphone last year, her reaction, she told me, was unambiguous: “A hard ‘Hell no.’” Morse is a mental-health provider in the Portland, Maine, public-school system, and she was firmly against smartphones, having seen how social media and abundant screen time could shorten students’ attention spans and give them new anxieties. But she wanted her children to have some independence—to be able to call friends, arrange playdates, and reach out to their grandparents on their own. She also needed a break. “I was so sick,” she said, “of being the middle person in any correspondence.”
So when her daughter turned 10, Morse did get her a phone: a landline.
For that gift to provide all the benefits she wanted, Morse had to lay some groundwork. It would be annoying if her daughters—she also has an 8-year-old—were to start calling their friends’ parents’ smartphones all the time, so she told her neighbors about her plan and suggested that they consider getting landlines too. Several bought in immediately, excited for the opportunity to placate their own smartphone-eager kids. And over the next couple of months, Morse kept nudging people. She appealed to their sense of nostalgia by sharing photos of her older daughter sitting on the floor and twirling the landline’s cord around her fingers. She wrote messages: “Guys, this is adorable and working and important.”
The peer pressure paid off. Now about 15 to 20 families in their South Portland neighborhood have installed a landline. They’ve created a retro bubble in which their children can easily call their friends without bugging a parent to borrow their phone—and in which the parents, for now, can live blissfully free of anxieties about the downsides of smartphones.
In the past few years, interest in old-school technology has been rising, driven partly by desperate adults seeking smartphone alternatives for their kids. Fairs peddle “dumb phones” to parents of tweens. On Reddit, one parent shared that they’d gone “full ’90s,” with a desktop computer installed in the living room, a Nintendo 64, and a landline. In March, after a Millennial mom posted on Instagram about getting a home phone for her kids, she received scores of comments from parents saying they’d done the same—or planned to soon.

Proves over and over society was not ready for AI chatbots like this. I use it daily, but as someone who fully knows the limitations of what it is and what it can do. I'm mentally sound and can handle whatever garbage it can vomit up, but it helps with my coding. The fact that it was unleashed to everyone going full pandora's box was an insane pure profit driven motive.
Those of us who understand it can completely see it going off the rails. It's just a prediction machine. If you give it horrible stuff like that it's going to predict that it should come up with horrible stuff in response. It's almost impossible to stop it from doing that because the only real way to prevent it is to not train on that stuff before, but when you're dealing with the entire fucking internet that's pretty hard too. (Seriously people, Reddit and 4chan were included in training. How stupid were they with this?)
This was inevitable. Of course people are too trusting in AI and those mentally unwell will not be able to distinguish it. It was designed to be like that. They were wrong to release it openly to society.
i had a 8 hour long troubleshooting session yesterday that should have only have taken on hour at most because my new boss was asking copilot for troubleshooting ideas and insisted that i pursue each one instead of listening to me.
then, this morning, he "corrected" the root cause analysis report i created because copilat said that something like this will never happen again. (it will happen again).
i never felt like the smartest person in the room before but; when everyone else is asking AI; being the smartest person becomes a very low bar.
Can’t wait to see the AI freaks on lemmy defend this, the chat logs are fucking awful and I legit recommend not reading them if you have mental health issues.
I don't have any evidence. But everything I read about this story I get the vibe that parents are dodging their responsibility. Some of the logs clearly show that the kid have issues with the family.
And the fact that they are willing to blame some software instead of themselves speaks quite loudly.
Suicide in kids usually have two real roots, school or family. Because that's the two places the kid will spend more time with. And probably only run to "other places" if one or both those fundamental places are awful.
It's "videogames are to blame for violence" all over again.
I know too well how parents behave when they don't want to assume their own fucking responsibility for how they raise their kids, and this smells too much like that very same shit.
I don't understand your logic here. Clearly, the kid had problems that were not caused by ChatGPT. And his suicidal thoughts were not started by ChatGPT. But OpenAI acknowledged that the longer the engagement continues the more likely that ChatGPT will go off the rails. Which is what happened here. At first, ChatGPT was giving the standard correct advice about suicide lines, etc. Then it started getting darker, where it was telling the kid to not let his mother know how he was feeling. Then it progressed to actual suicide coaching. So I don't think the analogy to videogames is correct here.
Take away chatgpt and insert a videogame, movie o bookthat talk about those same topics.
There are books that talk much darker about suicide. If the kid were to read those the parents would sue the author of the book?
There is a whole subgenre of music that is about encouraging people to comit suicide and fall into depression, do we use the "who is going to think about the children" card with thar music and its authors? Because music can really get under you skin and a couple of hours listening to that would nake anyone have weird thoughts.
The shitty parents blame chatgpt because it told the kid how to make a noose. You can kind that info in "howto" with instructable images. Do we put the UK nanny dictatorship controls on "howto" ? Or it only counts of it's something that benefits of the butlerian yihad?
I think is completely irrational to blame a piece of software (or media), as much defective as it is, for a suicide.

President Donald Trump and Gov. Jeff Landry said Meta's massive northeastern Louisiana project in Richland Parish will make the state the hub for artificial intelligence with a data center the size of Manhattan.
During a cabinet meeting this week, Trump said Meta, the parent company of Facebook, will expand its initial $10 billion investment to $50 billion.
Trump displayed a piece of paper he said was given to him by Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg that showed the center superimposed over Manhattan, covering most of the New York island.
"When they said '$50 billion for a plant,' I said, 'What the hell kind of a plant is that?'" Trump said. "But when you look at this, you understand why it's $50 billion."
Landry responded to the president on X with the following post:
"It is vital for American ingenuity and national security that we lead in AI development. As President @realDonaldTrump displayed during (the) cabinet meeting, the size of the Meta AI Data Center being built in Richland Parish is nearly the size of Manhattan. Louisiana isn’t just a participant in the AI race, we are leading it!"
Richland Parish Chamber of Commerce founder Scott Franklin said the project is transformation for the region and state.
"The president’s statement is proof that the Richland Parish Data Center will lead the world in AI technology," Franklin told USA Today Network. "This project will completely transform the regional economy and Meta will pay close to a billion dollars in property taxes over the life of the project. These taxes stay right here in Richland Parish. New hospitals, funding for better education and endless opportunity is on the horizon.".

Solar power is already providing the “cheapest electricity in history” and is expected to play a pivotal role in the global transition away from fossil fuels.
The technology accounted for two-thirds of the world’s new electricity capacity and two-fifths of new generation in 2024, according to the thinktank Ember.
Yet, this rapid expansion has triggered a backlash, with numerous campaigns springing up to oppose new solar projects from the UK to Australia.
These groups frequently draw on misinformation, spread by right-leaning media outlets, anti-renewable energy groups and predominantly right-wing political parties.
Increasingly, these narratives are having real-world consequences, with governments restricting or even banning the installation of solar panels across swathes of land.
Here, Carbon Brief factchecks 16 of the most common myths about solar power.

The White House said on Thursday it has fired Surface Transportation Board member Robert Primus, as the U.S. rail regulator considers the proposed $85-billion merger of Union Pacific (UNP.N), and Norfolk Southern (NSC.N).
The ouster is the latest in a series of dismissals by President Donald Trump's administration from independent agencies and commissions.
White House spokesman Kush Desai said Primus did not align with Trump's agenda. "The Administration intends to nominate new, more qualified members to the Surface Transportation Board in short order."
Trump has fired the two Democrats on the Federal Trade Commission, the vice chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, and members of the National Labor Relations Board, Merit Systems Protection Board, and Federal Election Commission, among others. He also forced out of office the U.S. postmaster general and the CEO of Amtrak.

The state Department of Licensing revoked Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to a data search system Wednesday after discovering the federal agency used it to get information about a Kirkland man targeted for deportation.
The use of that data for immigration enforcement, confirmed by the state after a KING 5 investigation, violated an agreement between the licensing department and ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations, according to Nate Olson, a DOL spokesperson.
The revelation that state licensing data had been used for immigration enforcement took some lawmakers and immigrant advocates aback. The 2019 Keep Washington Working Act prohibits most state agencies from cooperating with immigration enforcement.
A week after a federal judge ordered the state and federal governments to begin shutting down their operations at Alligator Alcatraz, workers are being sent packing and detainees are being moved to other facilities. Gov. Ron DeSantis, in a news conference in Orange County on Wednesday, said the Department of Homeland Security had “increased the pace of removals” from the detention facility.
DeSantis distanced the state from the decisions about who is detained at the site, saying “the state does not determine who goes into the facility.” “And so ultimately, it’s DHS’s decision, where they want to process and stage detainees, and it’s their decision about when they want to bring them out,” DeSantis said. “But I think they’ve been having rapid removals from Alligator Alcatraz, and I think that’s caused the census to go down,” he told reporters.
I have set 'Compact UI' in the settings to 'No - expand images' but in my home feed they are still cut off. Looking at the code I can see the following:
.post_teaser_image_preview a {
max-height: 575px;
overflow: hidden;
}
and disabling max-height solves my issue (seeing the whole image in the feed without clicking it).
How do I specify this in the custom CSS section in the settings so that the max-height is always disabled? I tried
:disable {
.post_teaser_image_preview a {
max-height: 575px;
}
}
.post_teaser_image_preview a {
max-height: unset;
}
Basically, any css rules in your custom css overwrite the rules specified elsewhere.
Edit: I just wanted to add why the max-height was set initially. This is the codeberg issue that caused there to be a limit. Basically, without setting a max-height, really tall and skinny images can take up a huge amount of vertical space.
Perfect, I'll give it a go. I'm no CSS expert and a quick search only returned the :disable thing. I guess I could also set the max-height to something like 1000px to limit extremely long ones.
Hey, all. So, almost two years ago I wrote this FEP:

Hey, all. So, almost two years ago I wrote this FEP:
It defines a profile for using OAuth 2.0 with the ActivityPub API, with a few components:
Using the bog-standard OAuth authorization code flow as described at oauth.com/, including PKCE
Using the endpoints, oauthAuthorizationEndpoint and oauthTokenEndpoint properties of an actor for discovery of endpoints
Using a small set of scopes (defined in the FEP as 'read', 'write' and 'sameorigin', but with a much longer more detailed list here
A registrationless client ID mechanism that depends on having an Application ActivityPub object live on the Web.
Of these 4 points, I think the first two are defined pretty well elsewhere. It is probably a good idea to just let those be defined elsewhere. I think the possibility of an OAuth TF for the SocialCG suggests that those options can be worked out there.
That leaves the two novel parts of the FEP: the registration-less client IDs, and the scopes. I think I'd like to slim down the current FEP to just the registration-less client IDs, and start another FEP for the scopes.
Hey evan@activitypub.space, I am all-in on more, simpler FEPs over monolithic impenetrable FEPs.
I take it that points 1 and 2 are due to concerns raised by thisismissem@hachyderm.io about how OAuth2 properties are already advertised in a standardized manner (I believe per OIDC or similar?) — no objections there.
On the topic of scopes, I know benpate@mastodon.social's 3b86 (Activity Intents) had some ideas on defining intents that have some parallels to scopes. I don't agree with hardcoding them all into the FEP itself, but I'm interested in exploring how we structure scopes so that they're more straightforward as not quite as fine-grained — a single scope for every ActivityStreams activity type might be a bit of overkill.
In Earth’s primordial days, liquid iron fell through the ball of magma that was our planet, collecting elements–like ruthenium-100–that are attracted to iron. All of that material ended up in Earth’s outer core, a dense sea of liquid metal that geoscientists assumed was unable to cross into the lighter mantle. But recent observations suggest instead that core material is making its way to the surface.
Measurements from volcanic rocks in the Galapagos Islands, Hawai’i, and Canada’s Baffin Island all contain ruthenium isotopes associated with that primordial core material, indicating that that magma came from the core, not the mantle. Separately, seismic analyses suggest that this material could be crossing through continent-sized blobs of warm, large-grained crystals caught deep below Africa and the Pacific, at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core. For more, check out this Quanta Magazine article. (Image credit: B. Andersen; research credit: N. Messling et al. and S. Talavera-Soza et al.; via Quanta)
Strong new evidence suggests that primordial material from the planet’s center is somehow making its way out. Continent-size entities anchored to the core-mantle boundary might be involved.

Navigate: to the Preferences or Settings menu.
Find: the option for "Local network sharing" and enable it by turning the switch on
or if you are using CLI
mullvad lan set allow
in short, most vpn clients have an option to not override local traffic. while still directing everything outside of your LAN through the VPN.

in reply to bridgeenjoyer • • •You should be able to add a route just for your nas without enabling lan sharing, something like
sudo ip r a 192.168.1.123/32 via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0Where .123 is your nas, .1 is your router, eth0 is your physical network interface.
But it's probably better to just toggle lan sharing.

in reply to bridgeenjoyer • • •You can run a WebDAV server and bind to the interface on your local network.
There’s also an ad hoc version if you don’t want it running all the time.

in reply to bridgeenjoyer • • •Well that depends: is your NAS on the local network?
If yes, then personally I just use SMB.
If no, then fuck if I know. Lol.

in reply to bridgeenjoyer • • •I think tailscale would fit your use case perfectly.
You can install tailscale on your computer and your NAS. This way, there is a tunnel between your computer and your NAS. In practice you will have a separate IP address for your NAS that you can use from your computer.
It also means that you will have secure access to your NAS from wherever in the world as long as you have internet access.
Then, Mullvad and tailscale are integrated together. It means that from tailscale you get the Mullvad add-on that allows you to use Mullvad as exit-point. Meaning that all your traffic that is not in your tailscale network will go through Mullvad (so in your case everything except your NAS)
It's been two years that I am using that and it's working great for me.
