Trump’s move of SPACECOM to Alabama has little to do with national security
The Pentagon says the move will save money, but acknowledges risk to military readiness.
so won’t need to order the shutdown of any plants for a second year running
Absolute idiots in our government. "We overachieved, so lets stop doing anything until we are behind schedule again." My guy, we are already loooong behind schedule on climate change, just keep going. Fucking idiots.
some large lignite-burning plants that are connected to mining operations have been given more time to shut down to mitigate job losses
Those mining operations barely employ any real amount of people at this point. You can easily just pay those people with tax money for a transfer period and it would still save money for the taxpayer overall.

[Announcement] The Third Edict: What We're Working On
With the launch of Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict over the weekend, we've been keeping a close eye on feedback and issues that have been arising (along with the Abyssal).
We've released 13 Hotfixes since launch and are currently working on the 0.3.0b patch, which will fix a lot of outstanding issues including the Warbringer's totem Ascendancy Notable. We expect to release it by the end of the week.
Here are some highlights from the patch:
Rise of the Abyssal Changes
- Abyssal Monsters can now be bound as Spectres.
- The Vessel of Kulemak's Teleport Slam can no longer be avoided, and the damage it deals has been reduced.
- Improved the telegraphing for the Vessel of Kulemak's arena-wide cleave. The cleave has also been made easier to dodge in the final part of the fight.
- The "Area is overrun by the Abyssal" Map Modifier now spreads Pits over a larger amount of the area.
- The Strider of the Pit's Spear Slam now has a global cooldown, and they now stop tracking you with their Storm skill when you are far enough away.
- Reduced the damage of the Crystal Wall used by Abyssal Stranglers.
- Reduced the movement speed of the Shepherd of the Pit, and reduced the damage dealt by their ground effect.
- Improved the invulnerability visual effect for the Lightless Moray. The ignite chance and damage from its shade form explosion has also been reduced.
- Abyssal Monsters now introduce some of their skills over the first 3 Acts instead of being able to use all of their skills from Act 1.
- Removed the motion blur effect played when Abyssal Pits closed.
Other Changes and Improvements
- One-time Rare Monsters found in the Campaign no longer have their fixed hidden modifiers when used as tamed beasts, or spectres.
- You will no longer remain locked onto enemies while sprinting. This improves cases where you would sprint away from an enemy then unintentionally turn around to use a skill targeting that enemy.
- You can now use Instance Management (Ctrl+click) on the button to jump in the Well of Souls.
- You can now use /hideout and similar commands from the Well of Souls.
- Maps without a Map Boss no longer spawn a boss arena with only a rare monster pack.
- Vendor windows will now remember any search text you've entered on a per NPC basis, until you exit to character selection.
- Boss fights with two bosses should now correctly restart from the beginning when a player Resurrects at Checkpoint after killing just one boss.
- The Soul Siphoner monster modifier has been reworked. The inner ring now reduces damage dealt, and the outer ring reduces Skill Speed for each time you use a Skill while standing in it. Both rings deal Physical Damage over Time (previously both rings prevented Mana recovery, drained Mana and dealt Lightning Damage over time).
- Forge Hammer no longer costs mana when used to recall the Hammer, and other skills such as Warcries cannot empower that use.
- Doedre's Dark Design, triggered by the Doedre's Undoing Support, now deals Spell Damage instead of Secondary Damage.
- Added missing Duration and Ground Effect types to the His Foul Emergence Skill to allow it to function with relevant support gems.
- Temporarily disabled the following Rogue Exiles: Taua, the Ruthless, Ulfred, the Afflicted, Drusian, the Artillerist, and Doran, the Deft.
- The Derelict Mansion Map Boss arena no longer requires finding a tome to open.
- The boss arena in Derelict Mansion Map will now be open if you die to the bosses after opening it once.
- The Razed Fields Map no longer stops you from entering the boss arena after it has been started.
- The barrier outside the church in Arastas can no longer be broken early.
- Improved the telegraphing of Yama the White's future sight skill.
- Increased the cooldown for some of Torvian, Hand of the Saviour's skills. The projectile speed of their bouncing axe skill has been reduced, and the amount of freeze build up Torvian causes when under the effects of the Twilight Order's Sword buff has been reduced.
- The Scourge of the Skies bird storm skill can no longer be avoided.
- The slam combo skill used by Kurtog, Lord of Kin can no longer be avoided.
- Some of the skills used by Great White One can no longer be avoided.
- The tracking of Azmadi, the Faridun Prince's triple lacerate skill is now more lenient.
- You can now use portals after defeating Siora, Blade of the Mists.
- Oswin, the Dread Warden now removes all the debuffs he has applied to the player when he is killed.
- Reduced the likelihood of Treant Foulspawns firing projectiles whilst walking.
- Reduced the damage of Quill Crab's quill projectiles.
- Updated the description of Lifetap Support to clarify it turns a Supported Skills Mana cost into a Life cost, rather than stating "a portion of".
- Updated the Tabna's Pillar World Map Icon to correctly describe the benefits it provides.
- Updated the Navali's Rest World Map Icon to indicate it provides a permanent benefit.
- Corrected and simplified Meditate's description. This is purely a description change.
- Clarified the Skill Description for Infernal Cry to indicate that it only Empowers Melee Attacks.
- Thunderous Leap's description no longer inaccurately mentions that it only detonates spear skills. As with any detonator skill, it detonates anything that is capable of being detonated.

University of Michigan still punishing pro-Palestine students after graduating
By MEE staff
Published date: 2 September 2025
A little over a year ago, Drin Shapiro was a student programme assistant at the University of Michigan's (UM) English Language Institute, and a student in his final year of a bachelor's degree in history.Since then, he has faced criminal charges brought by the state's attorney general, lost his on-campus job, spent time behind bars, and, as of last month, was still being disciplined by the university despite having graduated in May.
All of this was because he took part in a student encampment against the war on Gaza on 21 May 2024. Shapiro was arrested during the police raid of the encampment and was later released on bond.

Google not required to sell Chrome, federal judge rules in antitrust case
A US judge on Tuesday rejected the government's demand that Google sell its Chrome web browser as part of a major antitrust case but imposed sweeping requirements to restore competition in online search.The landmark ruling came after Judge Amit Mehta found in August 2024 that Google illegally maintained monopolies in online search through exclusive distribution agreements worth billions of dollars annually.

Pay no attention to the fabulous new watches and luxury car the judge starts to drive.
A case that affects a broad range of people, such as this one, out be given sentencing by a broad range of people.
Nor a single judge who likely has no technical knowledge or experience that would allow him the wisdom to know what the fuck he is doing and what the (non) consequence of his ruling mean.

I wonder why there are no humidistats.
You know, a combined humidifier/dehumidifier that keeps a constant humidity.
Maybe it's uncommon to have a climate where you need both.
My furnace has a humidistat so in the winter we can adjust how much water gets sent into the hot air stream. But it's always maxed out because it's really dry every winter here.
In the summer, the AC takes care of dehumidifying. Running a dedicated dehumidifier would be a waste of electricity, at that point just turn on the AC and any extra cold is a buffer against running the AC later on.
Humidifiers are simple and cheap. Maybe the cost of a 2 in 1 wouldn't make commercial sense.
Also, it would probably need two water tanks, as I imagine you wouldn't want to use the drain tank as a clean water source.
Just guessing here.
Yeah I am in the same boat. I operate a swamp cooler inside my house, even!
But I used to live on a hill in San Francisco, the first hill the fog would hit as it rolled in from the Pacific Ocean, and I distinctly remember the feeling of getting up in the morning and reaching between the hangers in the closet to take a shirt out, and feeling how they were all damp. Super gross!

The state of Linux phones in 2025
Linux phones are still behind android and iPhone, but the gap shrank a surprising amount while I wasn’t looking. These are damn near usable day to day phones now! But there are still a few things that need done and I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts on these were:
1 - tap to pay. I don’t see how this can practically be done. Like, at all.
2 - android auto/apple CarPlay emulation. A Linux phones could theoretically emulate one of these protocols and display a separate session on the head unit of a car. But I dont see any kind of project out there that already does this in an open-source kind of way. The closest I can find are some shady dongles on amazon that give wireless CarPlay to head units that normally require USB cables. It can be done, but I don't see it being done in our community.
3 - voice assistants. wether done on device or phoning into our home servers and having requests processed there, this should be doable and integrated with convenient shortcuts. Home assistant has some things like this, and there’s good-old Mycroft blowing around out there still. Siri is used every day by plenty of people and she sucks. If that’s the benchmark I think our community can easily meet that.
I started looking at Linux phones again because I loathe what apple is doing to this UI now and android has some interesting foldables but now that google is forcing Gemini into everything and you can’t turn it off, killing third party ROMS, and getting somehow even MORE invasive, that whole ecosystem seems like it’s about to march right off a cliff so its not an option anymore for me.
I don't use any of the "needs" you mention (phone payments, carplay, voice anything) and can't see any of them as necessary. I can see thinking of them as cool, but that is different. I don't particularly think they're cool, but that's just me.
That said, Linux is mostly a desktop system with a CLI and some GUI tools. Phones as we know them have considerably different requirements. Linux could be underneath it all, like it is in Android, but at the end there is a lot more besides LInux and its apps.
I did use Meego/Maemo for a while (Nokia N900 and N9) and they had nice aspects, but the phones were way too small and slow.

Classic cars will still need a smog test in California after lawmakers reject Jay Leno bill
Jay Leno’s star power wasn’t enough to persuade a California legislative committee to pass a measure to allow owners of classic cars like him to be exempted from the state’s rigorous smog-check requirements.
Imagine being rich and famous and this is your political cause. What an effing creep.
Classic cars will still need a smog test in California after lawmakers reject Jay Leno bill
The Assembly Appropriations Committee killed “Leno’s Law” that aimed to give classic car owners a pass from smog requirements.CalMatters (LAist)

I had a car caught up in this in Colorado and had to get rid of it. Specifically, I had to remove a bunch of obsolete air pump equipment and update the fueling system with a much more modern electronically controlled system. The car was measurably better than it's original standards but failed the visual check because it was missing the old, polluting, inefficient and unavailable parts.
If the car still meets the emissions of it's day, put a mileage limit on it and let it go. If there are too many on the road then implement a nontransferrable lottery system to get classic plates for them. The amount of pollution these few tens of thousands of vehicles put out being used a couple of times a month is a drop in the bucket compared to everything else that continues to get a pass.
Why not start banning camp fires? What about old boats? Stationary power units? These all seem to get a pass and probably dwarf the emissions of classic cars being used occasionally.
Storing cars is also devastating for the environment and society. We have as much land and resources devoted to housing cars as we do to housing people. I've seen so many houses that have garages as big as their house + a paved driveway + each city needs 3 publicly funded parking spots per car.
We need less cars. There simply isn't a future were we beat climate change without getting the majority of people to take trains, buses, and bikes
Labor plans to make it harder to access government information

Given how crucial to exposing government misconduct FOI requests are in the UK, I imagine this is a path you very much don't want to go down.
I first thought this was talking about the UK government, as I wouldn't put it past them to try and push something like this through. I'm both sad and relieved it's our Australian cousins going through it instead.

Getting into Linux Development?
like this
Great to hear that you're looking to get into PostmarketOS development! I recommend taking a phone that's already supported, using it and then figure out how improve support the device.
Porting/Mainlining a new device is also possible but that can be demotivating if it doesn't work and it's generally harder to get started with.
If you have any questions or need help you can dm me and I can help.

Are we decentralized yet?
I found this neat comparison site arewedecentralizedyet.online contrasting fediverse and atmosphere. Related discussion on HN:

Are We Decentralized Yet?

angus:
Perhaps this is a community that should be inherently decentralised, given its role in the ActivityPub ecosystem.
Apparently from this discussion and others before, when the SocialHub was actually not federated, the Fedizens are expecting this to be fully decentralized in the sense you and @devnull described.
how:

trwnh:
it would be nice to be able to maintain an explicit community context / boundary / etc
This boils down again to "What does it mean to be federated?" and then either take the ad-hoc, app-centric approach, connect to the flow and tap into the fediverse juice and make the best of that over time via whack-a-mole driven development. The other approach, aligning to what @trwnh mentions, is a more designed one, where well-defined use cases drive the development efforts. Contrast the approaches as:
- Connect Discourse software to the fediverse
- Community on the fediverse
With 1) it is entirely unknown what you eventually get, and as becomes clear, until now we got a messy fragmented situation. The Need of the Fedizen audience was implicitly "full decentralization" and explicitly for SocialHub to "be part of the fediverse" and not needing a separate account to be created to participate in the discussions.
But that is but one single Need. What is the full list of Needs? And what other stakeholder types are there beside Fedizen role? Now we are getting towards 2) and what it means for SocialHub to be considered a "community on the fediverse". And here too should Discourse - product slogan "The online home for your community" - and Pavilion be most interested, as this relates directly to product development.
Here too is big opportunity for the ActivityPub dev community, as it is the path to overcome the Achilles Heel that is the triad of Big ball of mud architecture, Golden (microblog) hammer, and Whack-a-mole driven protocol decay development.

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).

Expect a small learning curve if you've never used UNIX, but most things are similar enough that you'll be fine. If you're ok picking up the FreeBSD handbook.
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.

in reply to BrikoX • • •There is a full report that covers all the events leading up to and post and it does not conclude that they let it happen.
Are we sure that Oct 7th was even done by Hamas? I saw a unsourced clip on twitter that said it was Mossad who orchestrated and executed it. It may as well have been since most of the deaths were caused by IDF anyway. I'm joking but I swear there are to many people on lemmy who genuinely believe that.
