Judge orders US to halt deportation of hundreds of Guatemalan children
A US judge on Sunday ordered an emergency halt to a plan by the Trump administration to deport a group of nearly 700 unaccompanied Guatemalan children back to their home country after immigrant advocates lawyers called the plan “illegal”.
Attorneys for 10 Guatemalan minors, ages 10 to 17, said in court papers filed late on Saturday that there were reports that planes were set to take off within hours for the Central American country.
But a federal judge in Washington said those children couldn’t be deported for at least 14 days, and after a hastily scheduled hearing on Sunday, she enforced that they needed to be taken off the planes and back to the Office of Refugee Resettlement facilities while the legal process plays out.

Germany blocks EU push to sanction 'Israel' over war on Gaza
Germany has moved to block a European Commission proposal that would have suspended "Israel's" access to certain EU research funds, underscoring deep divisions within the bloc over how to respond to the war on Gaza.
The Commission's plan centered on Horizon Europe, the EU's flagship research program. Brussels sought to exclude "Israel" from startup-oriented funding streams tied to drones, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, technologies that could bolster military capabilities.
The proposal was designed as leverage to pressure Tel Aviv into easing restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries.

Lemmy is a self-hosted, federated, free and open source social link aggregation and discussion platform. It was named after the lead singer from Motörhead, the old...ProleWiki
What is lemmy.ml?
Recently there seems to be some of misunderstanding what the lemmy.ml instance is about, especially from newer users.Lemmy.ml has always been a niche site, and it will most likely stay this way. We don't have any intentions to turn it into a mainstream instance, or set a goal of getting as many users as possible. Our goal is simple: make an instance that people like to use. I would say that we have been successful in this, but obviously it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
The reason for this is that @[url=https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines]Dessalines[/url] and I are paid to develop Lemmy, while donations from lemmy.ml users only make up a negligible part of our income. Besides, having more users would force us to spend more time moderating, and less time for development. Lemmy works quite differently from big tech sites like Reddit in this regard: while they get more money with each extra user through advertising, for us it is the opposite. So we would much rather have a smaller, non-toxic, and friendly userbase, than a large one.
Part of the problem might be that lemmy.ml is described as "flagship instance", which can certainly be interpreted to mean "mainstream" or "general purpose". I struggle to come up with a better, more accurate description. If you can think of one, please comment here.
If you dont like the way lemmy.ml works, thats okay. Federation exists exactly to solve that problem, let different groups have their own instances, with their own rules and political views. You can see the list of existing instances, and instructions for setting up a new one on join-lemmy.org.
In particular, I would like to see someone (or a group of people) create a mainstream, or liberal instance. That should help to avoid further drama, and avoid attempts to turn lemmy.ml into something that it is not. @[url=https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines]Dessalines[/url] and I would certainly be willing to help with any technical problems that such an instance runs into, and include it on join-lemmy.org (just like any other instance that meets the code of conduct).
Let's be honest.... GrapheneOS sucks the big one
I'm sorry but it's true. Graphene OS sucks the big one.... It's absolutely janky when it comes to its Android app support, it's UI is absolutely atrocious, and all around. It's simply a wonky operating system.
Not only that but the whole premise of of making an operating system built only for Google pixel hardware on top of Android Open source project is just silly when it comes to the idea of "privacy". That would be like trying to open up a gay nightclub in Qatar. Google could snap its fingers tomorrow and lock down the ability to unlock bootloaders.
What do you think? Am I wrong here guys?
The UI is just AOSP android, simple and ugly (imo) as always. It's not unique in that either, most OEMs have a skin based on AOSP in some way.
As for the app support, I have had very little issues over the past year on GrapheneOS. Aside from some apps being exclusive to the play store (ie they don't host them elsewhere and Aurora doesn't have a copy), I have a pretty seamless experience. And yes, including banking apps.
Tap to pay doesn't work (they're upfront about that) but NFC is still fully features in my experience.
Linux Tablet?
Hi Linux nerds,
I've started up classes recently, and with being a recent convert and all, was a little curious to hear if anyone had any recommendations for a tablet capable of handling the workload of a student and that runs linux. I'm a bit of a neophyte when it comes to hardware (especially tablets, I've never had one in my life), though I've got enough experience to run Fedora on my PC.
My needs are pretty simple, I just need to be able to run libreoffice and take notes on the machine during lectures. Any insights as to where I should be looking?
while it's a bit more than a tablet, I scooped up a gen 3 yoga x1 thinkpad off ebay for somewhere around $300 USD. i'm running bluefin on it and it works great for most of my general computing tasks. the screen folds back into a tablet mode and the keys recess when it does. that functionality "just works" on a fresh bluefin install for me.
the stylus that sits inside the body of the laptop doesn't function and i suspect that it is a (non-replaceable) battery issue. i bought a larger lenovo stylus for the device after some research and it works great (plus i can replace the battery). it's a CCAI21LP1520T4 model. i think it was about $35 USD.
the only downside is it's a bit heavier than a tablet and it can get kind of warm over time but i'm doing development on it and have several docker containers running for that purpose. that might be a me problem.
i like that it has a headphone jack and an sd card slot. there's also a sim card slot but i doubt that's usable with linux.
Similar expierience, got an Inspiron x360 for $150 - works great and its capable of doing so much more than a usual tablet since I have the same Debian Stable install as on my Desktop and work Laptop.
And everything worked out of the box, which kinda baffled me to be honest.
What you're looking for is PostmarketOS. On their website you can also see what tablet devices it runs on more or less perfectly and on which ones some of the features are missing.
I think their website answers all of your questions.

USB-C ports no longer sending/receiving data (Lenovo X1 carbon)
I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 12. The other day I noticed both of my USB-C ports are not receiving or sending data. External drives won't mount and my dock won't send signal to my monitor, but when I plug in my charging cable I am still getting power. When I use "lsblk" nothing shows up, even though sometimes I hear the chime signaling something has been plugged in (but it's inconsistent and sometimes doesn't chime).
Both of my USB-A ports are working properly and receive data, so it's only my USB-C ports.
I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.3. I tried to revert back to an earlier kernel in case that was the problem but it didn't fix the issue.
Anyone have a similar issue? Thanks!
Try turning off the device, remove the battery, then take a safety pin and compressed air and scrape out any dust I'm the usb-c port then spray with air. I had a issue with my phone charging but not getting data. I spent a solid 15mins doing the above and it fixed it.
A good test is to see how firmly the usb-c sticks in the port. If it comes out pretty easy or feels seated sloppily then it probably just needs a good cleaning.
Sorry for the delayed response. I tried the reset button and there wasn’t any blockage or weak connection to the port itself.
Turns out the computer had Lenovo premium service so a tech came out the next day and replaced the motherboard. Hopefully I won’t have another issue 😬

Greta Thunberg speaks before departure of flotilla carrying aid to Gaza [video]
An estimated Twenty-seven ships to set sail for Gaza from multiple ports to break Israel’s siege on the enclave.
This will be activist Greta Thunberg’s second mission, having been taken captive by Israel earlier this year when her ship and fellow crew members were sprayed with illicit chemicals and boarded unlawfully in international waters. The Handala and her crew also suffered a similar fate earlier this summer.
Dozens of people gathered on Saturday at the port of Barcelona where a flotilla will set sail for Gaza on Sunday. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg is hoping to break… the naval blockade imposed by Israel along the coast of the Gaza Strip since 2007... (AP video and production by Hernan Munoz)

That makes sense. But maybe there is something else... Hollywood exaggerated what could be done too soon.
Take the classic 1995 films The Net and Hackers. (I love hackers now in a bittersweet way because of just how sincerely positive they felt towards the future and the future of the internet. Genuinely believing that it will forever be a place of a freedom and ruled by wild west cowboy hackers who will not only do things out of curiosity, but also never sell out. To be fair, they were going by The Hacker Manifesto ).
In The Net, you have a terminally online cybersec specialist (a female cybersec specialist, and terminally online... in the mid-90s. The former is believable, the latter is not... there just wasn't THAT much to do online at the time) who gets her life torn apart when people erase her very existence using the internet. They state that 'everything is online now' meaning everything can be accessed and destroyed, thus rendering her a non-person with no records of who she because they purged all databases of her records.
In Hackers, you have somewhat the same thing play out... but it was done as a gag and clearly undone later. There is a US Secret Service agent causing the protagonists some trouble, so they make trouble for him by creating online dating profiles with his name and contacts (and putting extreme fetishes he does not have, thus having him be called by all manner of weirdos), cancelling his credit cards, and the funniest part: They have him declared legally dead somehow. All of this is undone of course, and the whole sequence played for laughs, but it greatly exaggerated what was and what wasn't online at the time.
One thing that absolutely COULD have happened that I didn't think was possible was in the 4th Die Hard movie, Live Free or Die Hard... in the movie the bad guys hack a city's traffic lights and make them all green all the time, thus causing numerous traffic accidents. I rolled my eyes when I saw and said 'nah, that can't happen'... only for me to read later that not only could such a thing happen, but it could happen in the stupidest way possible. Some hacker managed to find a clear-net website of some town that had their traffic light control on... and it was 100% unsecure. Meaning anyone with the URL could have just gone on and caused a lot of damage. The person who discovered it, thankfully, did not. But the fact that it COULD have happened was astonishing to me.
Now you have so much shit going on it isn't funny. I can't keep track of all the major hacks that just keep happening. From the Tea hack, to Las Vegas being compromised, to all sorts o shit. It is just incredible.
I have serious doubts about the traffic light thing, any even remotely well designed systems would have interlinks that don't allow green from multiple directions.
Shutting them down or changing the sequencing, sure, but not multiple greens at once.

Let's be honest, if Microsoft failed Linux Phones will fail
It's inevitable....you people are going to have your Android given the iPhone treatment and you are going to LIKE IT! 🫨
Seriously though, alternatives? Grapheneos Mastodon page is a dumpster fire at times. One minute they are as ferocious as lions claiming they will never surrender.....the next they are lamenting that Google won't feed them and they need a new hardware supplier
CalyxOS folded quicker than a wet paper bag at a simple management shift! GrapheneOS and it's days are numbered
So what's the real option going forward?
A phone is a surveillance device.
The networks it is able to connect to have been compromised by attackers using backdoors built into them for the use of law enforcement. The legality of collecting information transmitted across those networks has been enshrined in law. All hardware and software companies which work with phones are targeted for infiltration by multiple foreign and domestic intelligence agencies. Friendly nations exchange intelligence packages and techniques for bypassing phone security with each other as a matter of fact. Foreign intelligence services’ surveillance technology is integrated into local law enforcement.
You cannot privately or securely use a phone.
Adblocking is not privacy or security.
Playing Super Nintendo on your phone is not privacy or security.
No amount of open source software will save you from the global intelligence state who have targeted the linux kernel and various distributions.
You cannot privately or securely use a phone.
This is probably true of most devices, but people can still try to improve their security and privacy. Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good and so on...
Neural Privacy: EFF interviews Yuste and Genser of the Neurorights Foundation
"How to Fix the Internet" has an important interview with neuroscientist Rafael Yuste and human rights lawyer Jared Genser, who together established the Neurorights Foundation, focused on expanding human rights concepts to neurotechnologies —tools that can record, interpret, and even manipulate brain activity.
They have contributed to getting laws passed nearly unanimously in three states of the USA and also discuss reforms in Brazil and Chile. This is an important issue to understand, and now seems like a short-lived opportunity to get laws passed before wealthy companies become involved in these technologies and start lobbying for their own interests.

German cabinet passes bill for voluntary military service
The bill foresees certain annual recruitment targets for the new voluntary scheme: rising from 20,000 in 2026 to 38,000 in 2030.If these numbers are not achieved, the government could opt instead to reinstate conscription, subject to parliamentary approval, according to the latest draft of the bill.
Already the current bill contains some mandatory elements, with all young men required to fill an online questionnaire regarding their willingness and abilities for military service after turning 18, to gain a better overview of the potentially available personnel.
Yo yo! Help me choose some better private services!
Yo yo!
I’ve been working on making my life more private and need some assistance picking suitable replacement options. Please let me know what you think of my list of if there are any opportunities for improvement! Here’s where I’m at …
Apple Maps
-OSMandMaps. Seems like a good option, but it’s not ready out the box. I need to do more tweaking with it.
-Magic Earth. Haven’t tested it yet, seems good. But I’m looking for free options first before I dabble with paid stuff.
AI (ChatGPT)
-Lumo. Chat is really good. But I understand they are good because they syphon data illegally, so I’m ok “downgrading” when switching AIs. Lump seems pretty good so far. I can tell it’s not as advanced but it will do me fine for what I need. Also, i assume once I pay for lumo pro it will be more “powerful”.
-Maple AI. Seems dope, also I like the pay model, pay for what you use over “x” amount of inquiries. Does anyone know how I owledgable/powerful it is?
-local AI OR Ollama. These 2 are beyond my knowledge. I don’t understand how I run these on my own server? If you know anything about these please ELI5.
Google Docs
-OnlyOffice. Seems like it does everything I want.
-cryptpad. Just heard of this today, need to explore more. Seems dope, but it doesn’t have an app? From what I’ve seen definitely a strong contender.
Photo App (I haven’t looked into any of these yet)
-Protón Drive.
-ente photos.
-I’mmich.
Google Drive
-protón drive.
Maps: CoMaps all the way. Very nice, polished map app using OpenStreetMap
AI: Just use Ollama. It's dead simple to run it on your local machine. They have docs here: github.com/ollama/ollama/tree/…
Productivity suite: LibreOffice. If you want sync use Nextcloud (needs to be hosted) or syncthing (no hosting necessary).
Photo app: Nextcloud Photos app if you want cloud sync. I take it you use iOS given that you specify Apple Maps, in which case idk what foss photos apps there are on iOS, but Fossify Gallery on Android is good.
Cloud storage: Nextcloud. By definition, cloud storage needs to be hosted, so if you don't have a server, you can use something like Proton Drive or Cryptdrive, or find a public Nextcloud instance that lets you sign up (Disroot has one).

A Demonstrator’s Guide to Operational Security
A Demonstrator’s Guide to Operational Security
How do police identify and target those who participate in demonstrations? What countermeasures can we take to hinder repression?CrimethInc.
Take all this with a big grain of salt—it’s based on the oddly naïve assumption that the police are trying to catch the actual instigators, and that they need real evidence to get convictions.
In my experience, the objective of the police is to create a particular public narrative, with the least amount of effort or risk to themselves. The narrative (which they present to the media after the fact) is that they acted with restraint, respecting the peoples’ right to assemble, until a handful of agitators turned destructive and the demonstration threatened to escalate into a major riot—at which point they swiftly intervened, caught enough of the agitators to prevent an escalation, and saved (most of) the city’s businesses from destruction.
Now, they do want to intimidate the crowd to keep things from escalating too far, but they also want to allow for some destruction to legitimize their tactics and to support the argument that the police force needs more officers. So they leave the actual instigators alone, because they’re useful to their narrative (up to a point) and because the police don’t want to engage with a group prepared to fight back. (What they really want to avoid is a large crowd seeing the example of multiple people physically resisting the riot police without being immediately subdued.)
Instead, they target:
* Journalists, street medics, and legal observers, to remove the demonstrators’ sense of institutional support and legitimacy;
* Anyone whose mugshots will alienate public support—the homeless, minorities, and anyone whose face is vaguely weird or scary;
* Anyone unable to resist a violent beating (like the disabled, elderly, and children) for pure shock value and crowd intimidation; and
* People who came dressed in black bloc fashion, but are clearly by themselves, passive, and not part of an organized group.
These last are the only ones they will try to prosecute, and often their black bloc attire plus the testimony of cops who claim they saw them engaged in destructive activity will be enough to get a conviction. In this case the anonymity of their dress backfires, because the cops can pin the actions of anyone with similar clothing and body type on them by claiming they saw the act first-hand and caught the suspect immediately afterward.
Meanwhile, the real instigators are convinced that they escaped due to the brilliance of their tactics and not because the cops had no interest in catching them.
That said, all this goes out the window when dealing with Trump’s federal agents: they’re working from different narratives with no pretense of protecting businesses, maintaining local support, or respecting anyone’s rights.

Nvidia driver issues...
Well guys! I did it! Linux mint on my desktop! Finally! Everything seemed like it was going swimmingly save for some minor issues. But then I ran into one: I did use stability matrix to make furry porn (very bad furry porn, don't ask) but when I tried to run it, it kept telling me it had issues with python and cuda and other stuff. I wondered if the problem was just python libraries or my nvidia drivers. I did manage to get a workaround, but it simply wouldn't use my GPU... in fact, I think I am having a super hard time seeing if I am even using it properly.
Speaking of drivers I tried to install the latest one, but that caused a problem. I use multiple monitors (because of course I do). Three in fact, but only one ended up working with the other two entirely unrecognized. And I still wasn't able to use my GPU to get stability matrix (or even stability forge without that) and my games still can't run on max graphics settings. I've been looking around for some help on this and trying to work on it all day, with limited success. It is basically the only major thing going wrong with my transition from windows to linux.
Any help here?

What are some good shell tweaks?
A short while ago, I saw a blog post from someone about modernizing their shell. Unfortunately, I lost the blog post, but there was some really good stuff in there. Just mentioning this in case someone knows what I'm talking about.
One tweak I remember they mentioned was about fixing programs that have broken formatting. It prevents scenarios like
user@hostname:~$ echo "hi"
hiuser@hostname:-~$where the output and shell prompt get placed on the same line. I noticed this happens with bash with C programs that don't include a \n in the final printf statement.

Either nushell or fish shell if you want a modern shell.
But honestly shell usage tends towards vim or emacs workflows.
Software Freedom Day 2025 - New Jersey
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/41246302
We're having an event for Software Freedom Day. It is a world-wide event, and we are having one right here at Montclair State University in New Jersey.September 20th, 2025 from 11am-4pm
We'll have talks about what free software is, and why it's important for everyone. What kind of software is available for your existing computer, and how you can use Free Software to use your computer past the date that the manufacturer wants to keep updating it. There will be a talk on self hosting, so that you can run services that reduce or replace your reliance on outside big tech companies, and keep better control of your data. Talks about Wikipedia and Open Source are proposed. There will also be a talk on Social Networking with free software called "Mastodon and the Fediverse" that will show how you can network with people without giving your data to big tech, and without the algorithms that don't work in your best interest.
Here a link for more information:

We'll be happy to discuss any details.

I give up 🏳️
I give up.... Privacy is a fool's game and it's a losing one at that. We are slowly entering a world where more and more requirements are made on people to own a regular non-hipster cell phone. There are places you can't even buy parking or look at a restaurant menu without having a proper cell phone.
Maybe the answer is not to flash some obscure on life support operating system on your Google pixel but rather.. maybe the answer is to work within the system and simply adjust privacy controls as allotted?
that's because you are trying an individual solution to a collective problem.
going for the roots of it involves going for the corporations and oligarchs taking control of our electronics, not simply installing a private rom.
Both ends need working on. I think creating and supporting new movements require change, it starts with individuals fighting for more rights on a microscopic level. Shifting to GrapheneOS will accelerate Google to make changes for the good of all of us.
Be wise and patient. I think our older politicians don't accept these concepts, but as our young grow into old then we've got a platform to fight for.
