Every Year, Sanctions Kill More People Than Wars
Between 2010 and 2021, unilateral sanctions caused ~564,258 deaths each year – more than five times the number of people killed annually in direct armed combat. This warning comes from a new report published in The Lancet, which contextualizes decades of data on how sanctions affect mortality.
“From a rights-based perspective, evidence that sanctions lead to losses in lives should be sufficient reason to advocate for the suspension of their use,” the study’s authors argue. But that is far from reality. Over the same decade, nearly a quarter of all of the world’s countries were affected by sanctions, driven primarily by a sharp increase in unilateral economic measures imposed by the United States and its European allies.
While Western sanctions “have the claimed aim to end wars, protect human rights, or promote democracy,” the report shows they do the very opposite. By restricting a country’s ability to import essential goods like food, medicine, and medical supplies, and by slashing public budgets, sanctions systematically undermine healthcare systems and other vital services.

India’s supreme court orders inquiry into giant zoo run by son of Asia’s richest person
Activists claim Anant Ambani’s Vantara facility has no plan to return its endangered species to the wild
India’s supreme court has ordered an investigation into allegations of illegal animal imports and financial misconduct at a vast private zoo set up by the son of Asia’s richest person.
Vantara, which describes itself as the “world’s biggest wild animal rescue centre”, is run by Anant Ambani, a son of Mukesh Ambani, the billionaire head of the conglomerate Reliance Industries.
The site in the western state of Gujarat is home to more than 200 elephants, as well as 50 bears, 160 tigers, 200 lions, 250 leopards and 900 crocodiles, among other animals, according to India’s Central Zoo Authority.

Exclusive: Jeremy Corbyn on building a new party to transform British politics
By Imran Mulla
Published date: 22 August 2025 17:47 BST
Now, he is organising a Gaza Tribunal of his own.
"We have on 4 and 5 of September, for two days in Church House in Westminster, an open public inquiry," Corbyn says."It will be live on YouTube and lots of other platforms and channels, and that inquiry will be hearing voices from people in Gaza, in the West Bank, aid workers, journalists, lawyers, international legal experts."
[Note to our Fedi friends in the UK - it would be great if someone could get this tribunal streamed via Peertube in some fashion.]
The new party was announced on 3 July, when MP Zarah Sultana left the Labour Party and said she would co-lead a different outfit with Corbyn.That party doesn't exist yet. It doesn't even have a name. But it has already received more than 800,000 sign-ups.
Polling this week found that a third of 2024 Labour voters would consider voting for a Corbyn-Sultana-led party, as well as over a quarter of Labour members.

I don't know a great deal, but his stance on the Russia/Ukraine war concerns me.

Jeremy Corbyn urges west to stop arming Ukraine
Ex-Labour leader also tells Beirut-based TV channel he was criticised over antisemitism because of stance on PalestineHeather Stewart (The Guardian)
Nah, he openly supports the annexation of Crimea (which means he supports the prosecution of Ukrainian speakers and Crimean Tartars).
The stuff about western leaders wanting the war to drag on as long as possible is a tankie conspiracy theory.
I was wondering if what you were saying about Corbyn was true, so I looked up most of your claims (all true for those I checked), and I thought I'd share what I found for others.
Corbyn used Russian talking points as justification for not wanting to do anything about Russia's conquest of Crimea: hscentre.org/russia-and-eurasi…
Corbyn has indeed worked with RT. This article called him a frequent guest: thearticle.com/rt-is-putins-pr…
Corbyn is indeed against NATO: channel4.com/news/factcheck/fa…
And Corbyn does indeed oppose weapon deliveries to Ukraine because "it would prolong the war": theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

John McDonnell among former shadow cabinet members contradicting pacifist messageToby Helm (The Guardian)
As I mentioned in this thread, only an idiot would think such matters wouldn't be reported in Ukrainian media (that has no stake in internal UK politics).
[1] actually referenced a different specific example, but the point remains.
reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/commen…
The image in that reddit thread is from "Stop the War" fake-peace, pro russian genocidal imperialism organization. And that tankie Corbyn roach has a senior position in that shit org.
Keep playing dumb. You don't even speak Ukrainian (or russian) and you're acting like some sort authority with you "opportunity to fact check yourself".
You don't know jack shit (and we both know this). Keep pretending otherwise. 😄
Here’s a hint: You will never come up with a source for your beliefs because you’d have to admit you’ve been played first.
It’s human to fall for it now and then. You’re amongst the majority.
I hope you get help
Nah, you talk big but you can't even state Corbyn's idiotic position on the full scale invasion of Ukraine without looking it up first (if you actually knew, you would have brought it up because it makes a very specific reference for someone in the UK, it's been parroted by other fake leftists too).
I don't need to do a web search, because I know Corbyn's position:
- He has worked with RT, a Russian propaganda service aimed at the west managed by russian intel services.
- He routinely promotes russian propaganda narratives about NATO
- His fake peacenik organization (he is the executive director who is responsible for such press releases) recognized russia as part of Ukraine.
- He openly opposed weapons deliveries to Ukraine after the full scale in order to give russia an edge in the invasion.
I don't even need to do a web search for this, because this relatively common knowledge in Ukraine (among people who know who Corbyn is).
But sure, Mr. Arcane2077, who doesn't even speak Ukrainian or russian claims to be more knowledgeable than someone who lives in Ukraine and where collaboration with russians by scum such a Corbyn is widely reported.
Own your ignorance my man, don't keep digging into the hole of stupidity that characterizes your knowledge of the relevant issues.
Says more about you than me lmao
I skimmed them as I knew most of it already. I've seen him say stuff about Russia that disgusts me before.
Good follow up post : feddit.uk/post/35181984/196520…
If Corybn wants support from people like me, he needs to come out loudly condemning Putin's actions and support Ukraine. Being anti-war is a massively stupid position against someone like Putin.
Calling for peace talks in this situation is like calling for marriage in couples counseling of a failing relationship, because married couples stay together longer.
Peace talks don't create peace, they happen when peace becomes desirable because of battlefield and political realities. Arming Ukraine more can shorten the war. Calling for premature talks can only prolong it.
He is anti war. He has been anti war for decades and decades. He is authentic and consistent on this issue. I don't agree how he is applying that principle on Russia Ukraine, but I respect his opinion.
And that's democracy, which is what his new party is making promises of - it will be a bottom up, grass-root and democratic party. So I am not too concerned with Corbyn's personal opinion.
(And like, the detractors are so fixated on this issue. They literally have nothing else to say, no other critics to offer. You mention Corbyn and immediately they are like "oH wHat aBoUt Russia-Ukraine" (a few years ago it was "oH bUt He iS an aNtiSemIte???"), as if that is the single most significant problem Britain is facing right now?? not housing, not NHS, not education, not the gutting of the wealth of the working class??? Talking about single issue voters. (sorry about the rant))
He is not anti-war, he is pro-russian genocidal imperialism.
He is a tankie, and when has the working class done well under regimes that tankies support?
Because we have FPTP and this will further split the left vote and let Reform / Tories in.
Our number one priority should be to kill FPTP and make it so we don't have governments only a minority of the voters wanted.
We know a Corbyn Labour party scares people to vote against Labour. He has a ceiling. There is a lot of country that subscribes to his views, but not enough to do more than strip those votes from Lab/Lib/SNP/Green/Plaid.
Reform are worse than Tories and I fear if they ever get power, they do a Trump. Damage the country and be hard to remove.
I'm just assuming this guy made his own party because the other options don't actually fight for the working class.
If the party you support's main goal is to "kill their enemies" or whatever, perhaps the best way to go about doing that would be to align itself with the working class.
This would intrinsically mean supporting policies that reduce the disparity in wealth.
India will buy oil from where it gets 'the best deal' - envoy to Russia
India will continue to buy oil from wherever it "gets the best deal" in order to protect the interests of its 1.4 billion people, the country's ambassador to Russia has said.
Vinay Kumar's statement comes days before Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on India, including a 25% penalty for buying Russian oil and weapons, are set to kick in.
Russian crude made up 35-40% of India's oil imports in 2024, up from 3% in 2021.

Evergrande: Chinese property giant delisted after spectacular fall
Chinese property giant Evergrande's shares were taken off the Hong Kong stock market on Monday after more than a decade and a half of trading.
It marks a grim milestone for what was once China's biggest real estate firm, with a stock market valuation of more than $50bn (£37.1bn). That was before its spectacular collapse under the weight of the huge debts that had powered its meteoric rise.
Experts say the delisting was both inevitable and final.
"Once delisted, there is no coming back," says Dan Wang, China director at political risk consultancy Eurasia Group.
Evergrande is now best-known for its part in a crisis that has for years dragged on the world's second-largest economy.

No, they don't. Meteorites fall to the ground while vaporizing themselves. Like Evergrande it seems.
Edit: @Hugin@lemmy.world made a good point. It actually does make sense of you say meteoric rise, which they did.
meteoric rise means to rise high in the sky. Meteorologist to study things high in the sky.

Meteoric rise doesn't reference the rock falling from the sky. They have the same root word meaning high in the sky.

I see why you think that, and I agree threads sucks. But bsky is actually fully open source and they are actively working to make federation better. I do think the current leadership genuinely cares about making a federated platform.
Will they enshittify? Yes, probably when the current ceo leaves. But by then other services will have popped up, and ATproto is built in such a way that you can move services without your current service's consent.
Yeah, so Musk's argument is that even though OpenAI's product ChatGPT has more downloads, Apple should consider letting X's Grok take the top spot because... reasons, I guess? Grok is still listed despite its antisemitic and other disgusting actions. It might be #2 (yeah it's definitely shit, right?), it might be #5, but it's still on the list, and it's still available. Musk is just mad that Apple is not featuring it.
Meanwhile, Fortnite is the top downloaded free iOS game. It sits on top of the charts. Thusly, Apple has buried the chart and they refuse to feature Fortnite, instead choosing to feature Roblox and PUBG instead. It's petty and silly, but the rankings do show which one has more downloads. That's it. It's not even about quality or anything.
I tend to agree with Epic (Fortnite) over Apple, but in regards to X, I'm with Apple. I may be slightly biased in that I don't like Musk/X, but I'm with Apple strictly on the merits here. I don't need biases to influence my reasoning here.

Sports Piracy in 3D
Has anyone here checked the 3D live in the usopen.org page?
usopen.org/en_US/scores/
I must say I was impressed. It is not perfect, but if what you to want to watch is just the sport being played, it might very well meet your needs. Add a little sound to it and I could watch a whole tennis match that way.
That made me think how one could convert any sports event to 3D and stream it. I don't know how many cameras IBM uses for that 3D stream, but a handful of volunteers recording the game with their phones and uploading it to a server that would process it could, in theory, generate a 3D version of the match. Maybe even the cameras of the official stream itself could be enough to create this.
The best part of this is that the 3D stream would be untraceable. It can't be watermarked, it's just the movement of the players and the ball, nothing else. And it also would have a ridiculously low bit rate. You could watch a match in 4K using a 100 kbps stream. You could even customize the assets to remove ads and make the players wear the uniform of your choice.
I'm probably dreaming too much, but a man can dream, right?
like this
Usually at these events there are staff who constantly look around for people who might be recording, and they don’t hesitate to kick you out if you’re caught more than once. So it’s possible if you have a decent number of people who are good about being sneaky and have covert equipment, but not easy.
It makes you wonder what will happen when more people start wearing smart AR glasses that can record everything and barely look any different than regular glasses.
How to use PeerTube for Podcasting
like this
reshared this
So .. I've been making a weekly podcast for over 14 years. For all that time I've had complete control over my own content by hosting all the audio, the transcripts, the website and the RSS feeds on an AWS S3 bucket for a couple of dollars per month.
I submitted the RSS feed to several aggregators like iTunes, Spotify, YouTube and others. There's eBooks, I send out weekly email, post on Mastodon and Lemmy (previously on Xitter and Reddit) and it's included in other podcasts, news broadcasts and magazines.
How is adding PeerTube adding anything except more cost to me? What is the benefit of this that goes beyond people using their preferred podcast player downloading the audio from my own existing platform?
It adds video. If you don't care about video, and you already have a system that works, it's probably not for you.
If potentially a new person wanted somewhere to host a podcast, they could do that using PeerTube. Along with all the other video services it offers.

[PDF] Over 16,000 compromised servers uncovered using Secure Shell key probing method
cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/36708596
Main.
Attackers regularly use SSH (Secure SHell) to compromise systems, e.g., via brute-force attacks, establishing persistence by deploying SSH public keys. This ranges from IoT botnets like Mirai, over loader and dropper systems, to the back-ends of malicious operations. Identifying compromised systems at the Internet scale would be a major break-through for combatting malicious activity by enabling targeted clean-up efforts.In this paper, we present a method to identify compromised SSH servers at scale. For this, we use SSH's behavior to only send a challenge during public key authentication, to check if the key is present on the system. Our technique neither allows us to access compromised systems (unlike, e.g., testing known attacker passwords), nor does it require access for auditing.
With our methodology used at an Internet-wide scan, we identify more than 21,700 unique systems (1,649 ASes, 144 countries) where attackers installed at least one of 52 verified malicious keys provided by a threat intelligence company, including critical Internet infrastructure. Furthermore, we find new context on the activities of malicious campaigns like, e.g., the 'fritzfrog' IoT botnet, malicious actors like 'teamtnt', and even the presence of state-actor associated keys within sensitive ASes. Comparing to honeypot data, we find these to under-/over-represent attackers' activity, even underestimating some APTs' activities. Finally, we collaborate with a national CSIRT and the Shadowserver Foundation to notify and remediate compromised systems. We run our measurements continuously and automatically share notifications.

With our methodology used at an Internet-wide scan, we identify more than 21,700 unique systems (1,649 ASes, 144 countries) where attackers installed at least one of 52 verified malicious keys provided by a threat intelligence company, including critical Internet infrastructure. Furthermore, we find new context on the activities of malicious campaigns like, e.g., the 'fritzfrog' IoT botnet, malicious actors like 'teamtnt', and even the presence of state-actor associated keys within sensitive ASes. Comparing to honeypot data, we find these to under-/over-represent attackers' activity, even underestimating some APTs' activities. Finally, we collaborate with a national CSIRT and the Shadowserver Foundation to notify and remediate compromised systems. We run our measurements continuously and automatically share notifications.
In the heart of the Miccosukee, the Native American tribe that shut down Alligator Alcatraz
But the Miccosukee don’t oppose the detention center just because it’s “a showcase of cruelty.” For decades, the tribe has been at the center of several legal disputes that have set precedents for how U.S. courts interpret tribal sovereignty, environmental law, and the taxation of Native Americans. In 1982, for example, the tribe sued the state of Florida for illegal land grabs, resulting in the Florida Indian Land Claims Settlement Act, a law that extinguished land claims in exchange for thousands of acres held in trust. In 2004, they challenged Miami’s pumping of sewage into the Everglades, a case that highlighted the Miccosukee’s role in defending the ecosystem and influenced the national debate on water transfers.
Water has been the focus of many of their conservation efforts. The fragile ecosystem has been altered since the last century by urbanization and agriculture, particularly by the diversion of water from its natural course from Lake Okeechobee, north of the peninsula, to Florida Bay, a process that can take months or years.

The community found refuge from white persecution deep in the Everglades swamps centuries ago. Together with environmental groups, they succeeded in forcing the closure of the immigration detention center built on their ancestral landsAbel Fernández (Ediciones EL PAÍS S.L.)

"Go to" link for comments stops working when a post has a lot of comments?
For posts that receive a lot comments, e.g. 50~100+
When I turn on notifications for a post, I receive the notifications for new comments but the "Go to" link just takes me to the top of the post, not to the specific comment. (Same problem in both Zen/Firefox browser on computer and Firefox/PWA on Android.)
E.g. piefed.social/notification/115…
Is this just me?
Ah.
I fixed this for one type of reply but missed out a different one. It's fixed for all future notifications, now.
Falliscono i colloqui per il trattato globale sull'inquinamento da plastica
Dopo 11 giorni di negoziati a Ginevra, i delegati di 184 nazioni non sono riusciti a trovare un accordo su un trattato giuridicamente vincolante per affrontare la crisi globale della plastica.
I punti di disaccordo principali sono stati:
• Limitazione della produzione: profonda spaccatura tra chi chiedeva limiti vincolanti alla produzione di nuova plastica e chi si opponeva.
• Controlli chimici: stallo sull'imposizione di regole globali per le sostanze chimiche tossiche usate nella produzione.
• Finanziamento: nessun consenso su come finanziare l'attuazione del trattato, specialmente per i paesi in via di sviluppo.
La ministra francese per la transizione ecologica, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, si è detta "arrabbiatissima" per la mancanza di risultati tangibili, sottolineando che "la plastica uccide". Il delegato della Colombia ha accusato "un piccolo numero di stati" di aver bloccato l'accordo, in un apparente riferimento alle nazioni produttrici di petrolio che spingevano per focalizzarsi solo sul riciclo e non sulla riduzione della produzione.
I colloqui sono sospesi e dovrebbero riprendere in futuro, ma il fallimento ritarda una cruciale soluzione coordinata alla crisi.
Perché riguarda anche la moda?
Il poliestere è plastica. Questo trattato avrebbe avuto un impatto diretto sull'industria della moda, regolamentando le sostanze chimiche tossiche e la produzione della fibra sintetica più utilizzata dal fast fashion.

Esperanto malpermesita en Esperanto-kongreso
En kiu lingvo oni parolu en nacia Esperanto-aranĝo? La demando estas same malnova kiel la organizita Esperanto-movado. Ofte oni plendas pri troa krokodilado en la nacia lingvo, sed en la ĵusa asembleo de Itala-Esperanto okazis male: oni oficiale malpermesis al la vicprezidanto de la asocio paroli en Esperanto.
Bone, mi komprenas, do nur dum la parto rezervita por la anoj de la itala asocio oni ne parolis Esperante.
Mi iel misinterpretis la vortojn «En la tuta kunveno ĝis tiam estis nur intervenoj en la itala, kun pluraj eksterlandanoj kiuj foriris iel malĝojaj.»
Nun mi komprenas ke per kunveno oni nur celis indiki la asembleo de la asocio, kiu, kredeble, ne havas multaj eksterlandajn anojn.
States fast-track wind, solar permits and contracts to beat Trump’s deadline • North Dakota Monitor
Federal clean energy tax credits have been essential to the financing of wind and solar projects across the country, and a key part of states’ plans to transition to wind and solar power.
Following President Donald Trump’s moves to quickly phase out those credits, pending projects have a tight time frame to start construction before their eligibility expires. But states have long struggled to speed up permitting decisions, reduce regulatory hurdles and add new power to the grid. And the clock is running out.
“Every month counts,” said Patty O’Keefe, Midwest regional director at Vote Solar, a clean energy advocacy nonprofit. “[The tax credits] are the financial backbone of nearly every renewable energy project that’s currently in the pipeline.”
