‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ Stuns Venice With Its Longest Standing Ovation of 22 Minutes Amid Tears and ‘Free Palestine’ Chants
“The Voice of Hind Rajab” premiere at the Venice Film Festival proved to be a hugely emotional event, with very few dry eyes in the Sala Grande.
One of the most talked-about films going into the festival, the powerful and gut-wrenching drama — from Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania — tells the true story of 5-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab, who was killed in the early stages of the war in Gaza. The feature received a huge 22-minute standing ovation, the longest of the festival so far. As the ovation surpassed 20 minutes, and in a clear effort to get the room to disperse, the lights were dimmed in the theatre. The clapping continued.
Attendees in the crowd were holding up several Palestinian flags, and chants of “Free Palestine” rang out during the applause. Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara, who are executive producers of the film, were in attendance and held a photo of Rajab on the red carpet with the filmmaking team. Phoenix also wore a Artists for Ceasefire pin.

Are private email providers worth it?
I think I know the answer, bit maybe I'm missing something
Since proton only sends and receives encrypted emails to other proton accounts, that means that when you get or send an email to someone else, they have to send / receive unencrypted and there is no way for us to verify what they are doing. Right?
Also if most accounts are google Microsoft, they still get 90% of my emails. By switching to proton I think I've gained nothing, while losing convenience , added another trust point, and having two different companies have my data instead of just one
Proton drive, calendar and VPN I think are fine
Sorry for the poor syntax. I'm at work working on email related things, and this topic kept distracting me. I might correct it later
I wouldn't say you have gained nothing. The amount of data provided to google or microsoft when using their email is significantly more. For example, your app or client is checking email all of the time, giving them telemetry on your location and activity, all your devices, 24/7. Google logs and analyzes all of your interactions with Gmail's web pages, how long you have certain emails open for, what you don't bother to open, what you tag as important, etc.
Much of the one-way email you sign up for from companies and organizations come from smaller outfits like sendgrid or their own infrastructure, so you are cutting google out of information about your associations and interests.
Also, in regards to that 90%, you can either be part of the problem for all your contacts, or part of the solution. The network effect is huge.
1. don't use email, that's the ideal solution
2. use a provider like cock.li and send messages encrypted with pgp. this isn't ideal, pgp leaks a lot of data and cock.li gets sinkholed by most email providers.
3. use proton and encrypt emails with pgp, you have not much privacy but it's less worse than microsoft and not much convenience loss, except that proton doesn't allow email clients(at least if you don't pay), I don't know about ms).
they pretty much always collaborate with the police
a corporation is a legal extension of the state, hence why all of them will always collaborate when ordered by the courts or otherwise required by law.
some will even collaborate when they are not required by law such amazon ring providing pigs access for no reason, facebook censoring content per request of US or Israel... needless bullshit but hey it helps get government contracts ;)
bottom line, expecting corpo to do anything for you for 5 bucks a month is naive, at best they should not do it for no reason and they should not sell your data.
but even that is a tall order for these parasites.
The old Inside-Outside strategy. Reactionaries aren't the only ones who can work a ratchet.
Absolutely within the purview of "moderate" leftists to advocate turns to the left and backstop turns to the right at every opportunity. But they do have to do those two things.

Crafting a retro desktop for old computers (~1GB RAM) the right way
I have an old Asus EeePC 1015T netbook with an HDMI (and VGA) output, a screen that glitches if I'm holding it wrong, a huge, tired, unreliable battery, a noisy fan that fails to cool it to less than skin-burning temperatures, and slightly less than 1 GB of RAM. I've seen Xubuntu, then Lubuntu, become slowly unusable on it; I've tried to install Arch then Sway, but although the device got kinda less sluggish, the leaning curve for a tiling window manager was still too high.
So here's a thought experiment: could I craft a Linux setup with a themeable yet cohesive Windows 98-like UI, that I can plug to an old monitor (1280x1024 should be enough) and that can be just responsive enough to do basic, focused tasks (writing, listening to music and webradios, browsing Wikipedia, perhaps playing Doom) using this kind of very limited hardware? The idea would be to have some sort of reliability: instead of installing an old distro and freezing all updates, I'd ideally go for a modern basis that I can upgrade without worrying of watching my setup collapsing on itself; so I could reproduce this setup on other, similarly old computers, and turn them into retro distraction-free appliances where you could chill with a classic Windows feel and Winamp themes.
I have some ideas but I'm not sure about the best approach. I've tried an immutable Fedora image (Blue95), but after a full day and night of waiting for the setup and rebase to complete, the end result was way too slow to be usable. Then I went for BunsenLabs on a Debian Trixie basis: it works okay performance-wise, but there's a lot of obscure menu items pointing to small apps to customize (you have to know what a "conky" or a "tint2" is, and also understand that the default panel is a third different thing). I'm thinking of trying postmarketOS, since the Alpine base sounds lightweight enough, but I havent figured out how to install it on my EeePC.
Could Wayland be possible with these hardware limitations? If so, how should I setup it? I guess labwc (pictured above) is the best fit for a Win9x experience, but what is needed afterwards? LXQt or Xfce or something else?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts!
“RUBARE allo STATO non è sempre reato” (mannaggia!)

“RUBARE allo STATO non è sempre reato” (mannaggia!)
A me capita di seguire vari avvocati su YouTube, ma certe volte mi chiedo se sarebbe meglio restare nell’ignoranza per le questioni di legge, perché altrimenti ci si fa il sangue amarissimo… non quanto il “caffè amaro come la vita”, ma molto peggio, perché almeno il caffè è gustoso, mentre la realtà del nostro mondo nemmeno per un cazzo. E stamattina, per l’appunto, chi mi ha ricordato ciò è stato l’avvochad Angelo Greco… 😭youtube.com/watch?v=QtQ0T4fnxk…
In breve, in questo video dice una cosa che sappiamo tutti, cioè che rubare allo Stato, una condotta che a primo impatto parrebbe gravissima, a volte è legalmente permesso — e anzi, aggiungerei io che in certi casi è anche premiato, o quantomeno fare il contrario significa essere vittime di scherno e biasimo, paradossalmente… Qualcosa di già assurdo di per sé, ma mai quanto un’altra cosa che difficilmente ci viene in mente, cioè che invece i danni piccoli vengono puniti alla grande; l’esempio che lui fa, per dire, è che se qualcuno ti passa una banconota incaricandoti di andargli a comprare il gelato, e tu te ne scappi coi soldi invece di assolvere al compito informale e deciso a voce, ti becchi (fino a) 5 anni di carcere, “appropriazione indebita aggravata”… 💀
Insomma, questa è l’Italia. Ovviamente, questo fatto lo si può vedere applicato su una scala più ampia e totalizzante, dove la punizione è, con gran paradosso, sempre inversamente proporzionale alla colpa. E quindi, se rubi i soldi del gelato e la vittima ti denuncia vai in galera, se sei un borseggiatore che dalla mattina alla sera sta a rubare alle persone ti arrestano per qualche minuto ma poi torni in libertà, se sei un imprenditore che evade il fisco magari passi qualche brutta nottata ma alla fine non succede niente, e se invece sei un politico che usa i soldi pubblici per cose proprie non ti indagano nemmeno… figurati pagare multe o che… 🥱
Che schifo, davvero. Non trovo nemmeno qualcosa da dire per ribaltare tutto e ridere, a questo giro… la riflessione di oggi è davvero così tanto amara; mi dispiace se ho rovinato la giornata a qualcuno. E non so se sia più grave il fatto che, a dire il vero, le cose in questo paese sembrano andare così, all’incontrario, da quando questo esiste… o se la vera questione sia che andando avanti questi paradossi aumentano, anziché diminuire… in questa repubblica dove, nei tribunali, campeggia sempre la scritta “la legge è uguale per tutti“, nonostante il fatto che questa frase sia forse la più grande bugia di tutti i tempi, e i politici non fanno e faranno altro che prendere tutti per il culo… 🙁

Zionist group sues two Australian academics for opposing the Gaza genocide
A group of pro-Zionist staff and students, backed by a high-profile legal team, is suing University of Sydney academics Nick Riemer and John Keane in the Federal Court of Australia for making public statements opposing the Gaza genocide.
Zionist group sues two Australian academics for opposing the Gaza genocide
If the case against Riemer and Keane is upheld, it will set a legal precedent that that could outlaw any opposition to the mass slaughter in Gaza as “antisemitic.”World Socialist Web Site

As of writing, the total had almost doubled to over $112,000 from some 1,200 individual donations.
this is a tiny fraction of what they're going to need in combat both the isreali and australian gov'ts; they're fucked.
that's less than a yearly salary for an entry level software engineer in the united states and no where close to the salary of a team of lawyers with the requisite experience to litigate this case.
nevertheless, i hope i'm wrong.
i guess i keep forgetting that anecdotal experience is a thing and the article points out the australian law:
The court case follows on from a complaint lodged by law firm Levitt Robinson last year with the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC). It alleged that Riemer and Keane had violated Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, which prohibits public acts that “offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person” based on their race.
i don't know what it's like under the australian system, but in the american one; they have to defend themselves first.
They are not fighting the Australian government.
It is a statutory body funded by, but operating independently of, the Australian Government. It is responsible for investigating alleged infringements of Australia's anti-discrimination legislation in relation to federal agencies.
Barring that they still do not have to defend themselves at this point they're just responding to a complaint.

Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps
US immigration agents will have access to one of the world’s most sophisticated hacking tools after a decision by the Trump administration to move ahead with a contract with Paragon Solutions, a company founded in Israel which makes spyware that can be used to hack into any mobile phone – including encrypted applications.The Department of Homeland Security first entered into a contract with Paragon, now owned by a US firm, in late 2024, under the Biden administration. But the $2m contract was put on hold pending a compliance review to make sure it adhered to an executive order that restricts the US government’s use of spyware, Wired reported at the time.
That pause has now been lifted, according to public procurement documents, which list US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) as the contracting agency.

Fastest disk-space usage analyzer (for files), faster than ncdu?
I'll echo everyone else: þere are several good tools, but ncdu isn't bad. Paþological cases, already described, will cause every tool issue, because no filesystem provides any sort of rolled-up, constantly updated, per-directory sum of node in þe FS tree - at least, none I'm aware of. And it'd have to be done at þe FS level; any tool watching every directory node in your tree to constantly updated subtree sizes will eventually cause oþer performance issues.
It does sound as if you're having
- filesystem issues, eg corruption
- network issues, eg you have remote shares mounted which are being included in þe scan (Gnome mounts user remotes in
~/.localsomewhere, IIRC) - hardware issues, eg your disk is going bad
- paþological filesystem layout, eg some directories containing þousands of inodes
It's almost certainly one of þose, two of which you can þank ncdu for bringing to your attention, one which is easily bypassed wiþ a flag, and þe last maybe just needing cleanup or exclusion.
Ncdu
I learn something new every day. I've been running du -a | sort -rn | head like some kind of animal. ncdu runs very fast on my systems and shows me what I want to see. Thanks!

Essential Steps to Launch Your Photography Business
Turn your passion for photography into a business with essential tips on equipment, branding, marketing, and managing your services effectively.
Nowadays, professional photographers are needed in multiple industries like journalism, real estate marketing, and travel. If you have a passion for photography and are interested in starting your own business, its valuable to look into integrating both.
If you are looking to start your photography business, first be prepared for the equipment of your studio with certain things like high-quality cameras and other accessories. After preparing this, you will also do marketing for your photography skills, which requires a website, accounting software, a logo, and other things.
Start your own photography business within your ability. Prepared with a detailed business plan, ready to manage your startup expenses and start sharing your innovative photography services with the world. Here are some tips for getting started with your own photography business.
Starting a Photography Business Without Experience: What You Need to Know
Photography Startup Plan
A great business plan helps to clarify your business strategy, recognise possible challenges, find necessary resources, and assess the market potential of your idea. First, take priority in launching your business, then plan to manage customers in appointment scheduling, the type of services you are providing and handling your invoice and payment process.
Next stage, you need to identify your business's targeted audience through research and plan to set up the price list for your services. Then buy quality cameras and accessories from brands that will ensure high picture quality, which will satisfy your customers.
**Choose a Business Name **
Every business needs a business name, and it is important to choose a unique one. While selecting a business, keep this in mind: it should be catchy, easy to remember, may reflect your niche, and relate to your business. Also, choose a name that not only reflects your speciality but also needs to leave a good, long-lasting impression with your clients.
Before finalising your business name, you need to check the domain availability for that name. For that, you need to verify with the business registry that no one else used this same name. After choosing the correct business name, you can create a logo and free business cards making using online software like Invoice Temple, etc.
Registration and Getting Licences
After finalizing your business name, you need to register your business as a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation. You can also register with a less formal structure known as a sole proprietorship, which does not offer many protections. Also, having some specific rules for registering businesses, obtaining a business license, collecting and sending sales taxes and periodically reporting business information.
Getting a business license not only allows you to run your photography business legally but also you need to build trust with your clients, which leads to improving your business. To secure your business license, you need to get in touch with the license authorities and submit the required documents.
**Creating Website and Establishing **
With your business name, buy a domain and create a website for your business using online platforms like WordPress, Wix, GoDaddy, etc. Design and add posts, photos, videos, and blogs to your website. With this information, add a clear call to action and contact forms to convert the visitors into clients. In this crowded market, you need to create an individual name for you to run your business. Effective marketing strategies help you to promote your business in the business marketplace.
Create engaging contents that reveal your best works and offer valuable tips in the form of blogs. Use relevant hashtags, run targeted ads, and regularly engage with your followers to build relationships. Collaborating with other creatives or influencers may help you expand your business growth.
For photography, your business must be well equipped with essential features like a high-quality camera, editing software, a business licence, and marketing tools such as business cards, a website, flyer designs, and a unique logo.

Lua script enabled SNES emulator on Linux?
Hey I was trying to set up archipelago to run a Chrono Trigger - Jets of Time randomizer file, and it needs a lua script to run to connect to archipelago. I couldn’t find a single SNES emulator with lua scripting enabled such as SNES9x-rr on windows. I tried just running that through proton but the lua scripts would not function. New to Linux so idk much on compiling shit natively or if I would need dependencies or to add something to wine/proton for lua to work or if there is an app image or something already that I could easily install that I didn’t see with a quick search.
update: Okay, seems maybe with proton can get stuff running but the lua won't work. Seems I can get it to try and run it, but runs into some issue with a .dll and not being able to find "main" or whatever. Can't find any flatpack/appimg for a native emulator with a lua injector, and idk if I can install cuz sudo apt doesn't work on it and idk enough to figure out how I'm supposed to get and compile shit. Soooo, heck.
Edit: forgot to mention incase it matters, running Bazzite 42.
Getting Started
Getting Started General To play Jets of Time, you will need a valid US Chrono Trigger SNES ROM. You can then roll a seed (build a randomized ROM with your flags of choice - if it's your first time we recommend either the beginner or standard race …Chrono Trigger: Jets of Time
Emulators aren't platform specific though. If one is built for Windows with a specific set of features, they're also going to run on Linux with those specific set of features
What you're asking about is an Emulator that does the thing you need, so as I pointed out, it's not a Linux thing, it's an Emulator thing.
WinBoat is a new Linux app to run Windows apps with "seamless integration"
WinBoat is a new Linux app to run Windows apps with "seamless integration"
Sometimes, you really do just need to run a Windows app on Linux and perhaps WinBoat might make this easier with its promise of "seamless integration".Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
From their FAQ
With WinApps you do the bulk of the setup manually, and there's no cohesive interface to bring it all together. There's a basic TUI, a taskbar widget, and some CLI commands for you to play with.WinBoat does all the setup once you have the pre-requisites installed, displays everything worth seeing in a neat interface for you, and acts like a complete experience. No need to mess with configuration files, no need to memorize a dozen CLI commands, it just works.
But if it isn't dependant on the command line is it really Linux?

Israeli military chief warns Gaza assault could lead to full occupation, military rule
“You are heading to a military government,” Zamir was quoted as saying by The Times of Israel, citing a Ynet news report. “Your plan is leading us there. Understand the implications.”
Zamir pointed out that after Gaza City, the refugee camps in central Gaza would likely also be taken over, deepening the military's control.
However, as per the news report, Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs pushed back, stating that a decision had already been made against setting up a military government in Gaza.

I created a NixOS Install script for Proxmox
For quite a while, I've wanted to try out hosting my services in NixOS LXCs, but it did not seem like there were any definitive one-stop-shop scripts such as the ones on Proxmox Helper Scripts. So, I waited for some clever cookie to make one, because surely this was not something just I was interested in.
But the cookie never appeared, and after a while of waiting, I decided that maybe I should try it myself! A few nights of chicken scratch bash later, and I've got a decent little script to boot up and configure a NixOS 24.11 LXC, with a configuration.nix file!
Important disclaimer though, this script is still pretty early in development. While it does boot and set up an LXC, there is very little error handling, and don't get me started on the UX. I just thought I'd share, and maybe get some suggestions from others.

but it is just exhausting trying to unify everything
and the next flatpak is a new fight 😀

in reply to ChaoticNeutralCzech • • •What problem does CSD solve? I'd think "some apps look and work differently" is a pretty bad tradeoff for "I want to cram custom stuff in the title bar which was more or less universally treated as owned-by-the-system for the first 35 years of GUIs at least?"
GTK/GNOME seem to be making themselves actively hostile towards customization, which seems a great way to lose enthusiasts.

in reply to wizardbeard • • •I find KDE works well with GTK3 and below, but GTK4 apps are set to ignore themes, which is a design decision on the GTK4 side. They invariably look completely odd and out of place as they often force the entire Gnome app UI as well as an unalterable theme.
And then Flatpaks also don't generally follow system themes as they're so sandboxed (although there are some work arounds, including making them consistent as flatpaks or allowing them access to the system theme folders to pick up themeing).
But anecdotally I've not had the level of title bar variability on KDE as that screenshot. Although admittedly I do tend to actively avoid Gnome apps as I don't like the design philosophy.

You can theme Gtk apps to match, but it's not pixel perfect even with the stock theme.
Its always slightly off on padding and margins, but the overall outcome looks more uniform

in reply to omawarisan • • •This is the kind of shit that stops people from migrating to Linux.
Lack of consistency in the UI. We’re in 2025 dammit. Not 1995.
Edit: okay, WTF Windows is now even worse?!?
TriangleSpecialist
in reply to MadMadBunny • • •This below is windows 11 consistency, within their own os context menus. I am not even starting on the fact that window decorations there too are a non standardised mess.
I agree that lack of UI consistency is less than ideal, and very real in Linux, but let's not pretend that this is a main issue stopping people from migrating (from an equally inconsistent OS)

in reply to MadMadBunny • • •How is a kernel meant to enforce anything about UI?
I think GUI development should favour server-side decorations for consistency's sake, but this is more of a cultural thing with what application developers are choosing to do, rather than anything "Linux" can do about.
MonkderVierte
in reply to MadMadBunny • • •Always has been. At least since NT. Company culture encourages features and discourages fixes. Thus it got framework after framework.

in reply to pineapple • • •Looks much better to me nowadays, although yes, I am not using the default Breeze theme. But if there are any problems in the theme I am using, they are much more likely to not be present in Breeze.
Some "issues" pointed out in the picture are not issues at all.
The "Different font styles and sizes" for example, because they are used for different things with different scopes and user interaction.

in reply to pineapple • • •Some points are valid, but this looks more like the author (of the image) wanted to highlight as much as possible to confirm their own bias (that it's not well designed). Maybe I'm being ragebaited, but here we go:
Yeah, one shows breadcrumbs and the other a title.
First one is the "start menu" button. The tasks could also have text labels on them, of course they can have a different width to an unrelated element.
It can show two lines of text (as evidenced by the third item in the same row). It would look pretty bad if every item was centered on their own.
It looks good, but the red line the author connected from the snowflake to the horizontal line of the "H" doesn't necessarily back their claim that this is "absolutely pixel perfect alignment" because the horizontal line of the "H" might not be geometrically centered to the line height of the text and you could also have different characters in different languages.
Yeah, some elements like the scrollbars aren't positioned well (in this screenshot, this is a bit outdated tbh). But there's also the concept of a visual center as opposed to the geometric center.
PieMePlenty
in reply to pineapple • • •I have a theory that if everything was pixel perfect, centered, perfectly aligned and looked the same, the thing would look too sterile. There's basically a perfect world, written down in books and texts that is being taught to students and there's the real world. In many areas, these two do not match and the above image is the result of someone's text book world view not matching the real world.
Could the discover store have a better UI? Yes. Will a centered, down-anchored, pixel perfect button make it better? Subjective.

in reply to pineapple • • •Honestly I just want KDE to do the backbone and GNOME to do the designs.
Adwaita apps look just right, minimalistic yet powerful, pinnacle of modern simplified designs. Everything you actually need is close, and the rest doesn't clog the view.
The rest of GNOME is heavily meh. Customization is next to nothing, and generally any workflow falling outside the one window = one task paradigm is gonna be a pain. Settings are convoluted and sometimes straight up unreachable without additional tools or config edits (and sometimes they don't even apply).
I guess what unites Adwaita and GNOME project overall is the stubborn adversity to users making it comfy for themselves - it's the GNOME way, or no way. And while Adwaita is at least actually good in its defaults, GNOME is not.
KDE, on the other hand, is brilliant as a desktop environment, but menus could be so, so much better. So, when I have a choice, I use Adwaita-themed apps on KDE. With proper theming on KDE side of things, they come together just right.
bitwolf
in reply to Allero • • •Agreed completely.
KDE just feels better and more performant. Even if GNOME Shell uses less memory in its own, it doesnt always feel good to use.
However GNOME Shell and Adwaita are beautiful, consistent, and designed through human feedback. KDE is fragmented, too nested, and has so many conflicting designs.
Its not possible to make KDE feel exactly like GNOME Shell but I wish I could.

in reply to omawarisan • • •I'm very glad to see projects like libadapta as themable alternatives to the libadwaita dogma. I've painstakingly themed my desktop to look and feel like a cohesive, modernized NT 4 workstation and should seriously consider contributing to libadapta in anticipation of libadwaita coming to more and more programs.
I am very stubborn about my computer's GUI, but also hopeful the community can bring back theming where GNOME is dead set against it. If they can make WindowBlinds for modern Windows, the equivalent in Linux is definitely achievable.
