CISA has revealed that attackers breached the network of an unnamed U.S. federal civilian executive branch (FCEB) agency last year after compromising an unpatched GeoServer instance.
Jimmy Kimmel will return to the airwaves Tuesday night after his suspension by ABC was met with a massive public backlash. But while they say the comedian’s reinstatement is cause for celebration, advocates say that it’s just one small victory in a much larger fight against the Trump administration’s campaign to censor dissent.
Andrew O’Neill, the advocacy director of the group Indivisible, which called on its members to boycott ABC‘s parent company Disney in response to the company’s capitulation to President Donald Trump, said that Kimmel “wasn’t reinstated because Disney executives slept on it and had a change of heart.”
“He’s back on air because those executives got a wake-up call from the American public,” O’Neill said. “People all over the country showed up, canceling subscriptions, protesting outside ABC and Disney, Nexstar and more, and made it damn clear this political alliance with Trump was not in Disney’s best interest. Trump’s authoritarian playbook is unpopular, and when these CEOs comply, it’s not only cowardly. It’s unstrategic.”
"Congress should investigate and put everyone involved under oath at a public hearing to get to the bottom of this threat to free speech," said the co-CEO of Free Press.
ARCA's deep-sea sensors near Sicily detect a highly energetic neutrino, potentially revealing secrets about cosmic phenomena and the universe's hidden mysteries.
Shields and other researchers have repeatedly flagged concerns about lower quality of care at mental health facilities owned by for-profit corporations, in part due to efforts to cut staff and reduce costs. Companies have defended the quality of care they provide.
ProPublica reported Monday that over 90 psychiatric hospitals across the country have violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in the past 15 years. The vast majority of them — around 80% — are owned by for-profit corporations.
Yet only a handful have faced any consequences from either the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, both of which are responsible for regulating the law. In the rare cases when hospitals have faced fines, the penalties have been trivial compared to the earnings of each for-profit hospital chain, the investigation found.
Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises. Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found.
U.S. Secret Service agents have dismantled a network of electronic devices located in multiple locations around New York City that could be used to disable the city's cellphone network, officials said Tuesday.
In remarks tied to the UN week, Trump repeated the argument that Europe—and specifically Germany—turned back to traditional fuels after pursuing renewables, casting it as proof that rapid green transitions don’t work.
If people are still building fossil fuel plants, it's preferable that they build nuclear instead. Nuclear has the downsides of what to do with the waste (modern reactors produce much less than older designs, and some actually use the waste from older designs as fuel), expansion of fossil fuels have the downside that we won't live long enough for nuclear waste to become any kind of real problem
Obviously renewables are best, but whilst we've not got the battery tech ready for 100% renewable base load, it's not enough on its own.
I remember partitioned systems being a big thing in like the '90s '00s since those were the days you would pour $$$$ into large systems. But I thought the "cattle not pets" movement did away with that? Are we back to the days of "big iron"?
In essence yes, for example VMware ESXi hosts can be managed by a single image with customizations made at the cluster level. Give me pxe and I can provision you n hosts in about the same time as 1 host
Constant back and forth. Moving things closer increases efficenicy moving them apart increases resillency.
So we are constantly shuffling between the two for different workloads to optimize for the given thing.
That said i see this as an extension too the cattle idea by making even the kernel a thing to raised and culled on demand. This matter a lot more with heavy workloads like HPC and AI stuff where a process can be measure in days or weeks and stable uptime is paramount, vs the stateless work of intended k8s stuff (i say intended because you can k8s all the things now but it needs extensions to handle the new lifecycles).
I imagine there's some overhead savings but I don't know what. I guess with classic hypervisor there's still calls going through the host kerbel whereas with this they'd go straight to the hardware without special passthrough features?
Saving on some overhead, because the hypervisor is skipped. Things like disk IO to physical disks can be more efficient using multikernel (with direct access to HW) than VMs (which have to virtualize at least some components of HW access).
With the proposed "Kernel Hand Over", it might be possible to send processes to another kernel entirely. This would allow booting a completely new kernel, moving your existing processes and resources over, then shutting down the old kernel, effectively updating with zero downtime.
It will definitely take some time for any enterprises to transition over (if they have a use for this), and consumers will likely not see much use in this technology.
If this works out, it's likely something that container engines would take advantage of as well. It may take more resources to do (we'll have to see), but adding kernel isolation would make for a much stronger sandbox. Containers are just a collection of other isolation tools like this anyway.
gvisor already exists for environments like this, where the extra security at the cost of some performance is welcome. But having support for passing processes an isolated, hardened kernel from the primary running Linux kernel would probably make a lot of that performance gap disappear.
I'm also thinking it could do wonders for compatibility too, since you could bundle abandoware apps with an older kernel, or ship new apps that require features from the latest kernel to places that wouldn't normally have those capabilities.
This seems to be a pretty niche use case brought about by changes in the available hardware for servers. Likely they are having situations where their servers have copious amounts of RAM, and CPU cores that the task it is handling don't need all of, or perhaps isn't even able to make use of due to software constraints. So this is a way for them to run different tasks on the same hardware without having to worry about virtualization. Effectively turning a bare metal server into 2 bare metal servers. They mention in their statement that, "The primary use case in mind for parker is on the machines with high core counts, where scalability concerns may arise."
I run a Proxmox homelab. I just had to shut everything it runs down to upgrade Proxmox. If I could hot rreload the kernel, I would not have had to do that. Sounds pretty handy to me. But that may be the multikernel approach, not this partitioning.
Honestly, even on the desktop. On distros like Arch or Chimera Linux, the kernel is getting updated all the time. It would be great to avoid restarts there too.
Why should i trust them with this multi-kernel thingy if they let the dumpster fire that is tiktok, exist? And, they're probably trying to embrace-extend-extinguish Linux just like microsoft and apple with their WSL and Containers.app respectively.
Xen is running full virtual machines. You run full operating systems on simulated hardware. The real “host” operating system is the hypervisor (Xen). Inside a VM, you have the concept of one or more CPUs but you do not know which actual CPU cores that maps to. The load can be distributed to any of them by the real host.
In something like Docker, you only run a single host kernel. On top of that you run sandbox environments that run on the kernel that “think” they have an environment to themselves but are actually sharing a single host kernel. The single host kernel directly manages the real hardware. Processes can run on any of the CPUs managed by the single host kernel.
In both of the above, updating the host means shutting the system down.
With this new approach, you have multiple kernels, all running natively on real hardware. Any given CPU is being managed by only one of the kernels. No hypervisor.
If we're going to this amount of trouble, wouldn't it be better to replace the monolithic kernel with a microkernel and servers that provide the same APIs for Linux apps? Maybe even seL4 which has its behaviour formally verified. That way the microkernel can spin up arbitrary instances of whatever services are needed most.
On July 16, the European Commission proposed a €2tn seven-year budget – the largest in the EU’s history – to boost autonomy, competitiveness, and resilience. The spending plan ...
Howdy Comrades! I spent the morning working with the new Tor VPN that's still in beta testing on the play store. However, I could not get it above 5 Mbps. I get 100 MBPS split tunneling VPN on Mullvad. I tried the built in bridges, personal bridges it gives you, no bridges and yeah. Nothing helped. Only 5 Mbps with 200 ping.
No. It doesn't affect the VPN itself, it only controls which traffic uses the VPN and which goes direct to the Internet. If anything it'll seem faster since not all the traffic uses the VPN.
This is standard for tor, you have to jump through several nodes to get to whatever server you are accessing. There isn't that many end points and many of them are controlled by feds which mean your data has to also pass through monitoring software which is essentially a slow software router to bottleneck everyone's traffic. However with tor you get pretty close to real anonymity with your connection, however using Tor as a VPN completely defeats this purpose because all your software and stuff is going to be pinging servers of companies and leaking your personally identifiable information.
Even with just using a browser in a sandbox, it's hard to actually stay anonymous on Tor because if your browser leaks any information or runs any compromised script which can fingerprint your machine, you lost your anonymity. The only real anonymity you can get for the most part is not using the Internet for stuff that you don't want to be traced back to you. For hacking type stuff, you could try proxying behind several machines with memory only programs that delete themselves after you finished, while carefully controlling each and every packet being sent to make sure it's completely anonymous. You can almost guarantee that some corporation some where research's exploits in tor and common computer hardware to dox you to governments and criminal groups. I wouldn't put anything on the internet you don't want the governments, corporations and criminal mafias and cartels of the world knowing.
Remember Tor was created by the D.O.D, just like the internet was created by Darpa and Google was seeded by the CIAs venture capital firm. The technology and plans for mass surveillance were already being established in the 70s and 80s, and Google was created expressly for the purpose of facilitating mass surveillance which is why they were the first company to destroy the internet.
Tor not being the solution to other problems in the space doesnt mean its not great at what it does
Not disagreeing with almost anything you actaully said though. Just dont want people who are reducing the amount of survelince and censorship to feel like its worthless. Tor is better than any comercial vpns imho for its goal, but you 100% that network traffic along isnt everything.
Yeah, I mean, that's just TOR. That's why it's annoying when people say "just use TOR". It's nearly useless unless you TRULY need the highest levels of privacy.
It’s nearly useless unless you TRULY need the highest levels of privacy.
Absolutely not. My main adversary is simply commercial surveillance capitalism tracking and I daily drive Tor Browser. Most of the time, it's fast enough for my browsing and video watching.
That’s why it’s annoying when people say “just use TOR”
Tor and its Discontents Problems with Tor usage as panacea This post deals with problems related to Tor usage that are not technical. I try to look at the human side of things, and I’m quite …
It's either reductionist "Blame the government, not the people!" or holist "The world is at fault" with you people, you just can't bring yourself to call out Western exploitation of the Global South.
There are at least 3 settler-colonies in the last panel that, in the past and as we speak, actively commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, destabilization of Global South states and other crimes, which were created and continuously enabled by the remaining featured countries, 4 of which were former empires that continue their legacy through neocolonialism. The rest, whom benefit greatly from said neocolonialism or are direct perpetrators themselves, are comprador states practicing systemic violence and repression on those that so much as sympathize with Dewesternization and anti-imperialism, states that harbor a shit ton of Nazis and states that are happy to murder immigrants and asylum seekers escaping the violence perpetrated by said states.
World public opinion recognizes NATO as a threat to the peace and security of humankind. Its serial provocations constitute the greatest danger to our survival as a species.
oh woops, thanks for pointing that out. I guess I don't have a great resource on Indonesia either other than The Jakarta Method, so I'll just add that.
Don't have a specific link right now but the civilian death toll from the Japanese operations in Manchuria is most likely above 10 million. There are also several ethnic minorities in Japan that have been colonized by them relatively recently e.g. Okinawa, ehich is also secondarily occupied by a huge US base.
Göring had noted the swastika during his stay in Sweden and at von Rosens' castle (forged into a metal piece at the fireplace). However, the swastika of the German Nazi party had been adopted already in 1920, two years before Göring met Adolf Hitler.
Seems like a case of multiple shitheads liking the same symbol independently?
Oh, I know. It's at fault for being genocided by USSR en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish… because... because... since America = bad, then USSR must be good (at least that's how I understand the "logic" here)
Repressions on Ukrainians during 1930's could - and should - be considered genocidal. Then there's the rest of Kresy with forced polonisation of Belarusians and tutejszych
You are delusional here. Repressions is not genocide, and its UKRAINIANS who did genocide on Poles in 1943. Read it, cuz you tell absolute lies: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massac…
Clearly Poles got again not repressioned - they got massively murdered with cold blood and with special cruelty. Read what Ukrainians did to Poles and tell me when Poles did the same to anyone.
Who was leading the operation? Not Poles - GERMANS, no Pole would invent and finalize such idea. You talk about repressioned collaborators (also COLLABORATORS, not the whole hq or country) you know nothing yet you wanna blame the good guys. I'm curious if you would not collaborate while having a pistol pointed on your head. Think before writing cuz you just gave me example of GERMAN operation.
Although historians say the Holy Cross Mountains Brigade collaborated with the Nazis, a representative of the veterans, Jan Józef Kasprzyk, sought to deny such a link.
Kasprzyk described the claims of collaboration as a product of postwar communist propaganda meant to smear the unit’s legacy.
The official rehabilitation of the brigade began when Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki honored its members at a cemetery in Munich in February 2018.
Morawiecki asserted at a news conference the same day that there were some “Jewish perpetrators” of the Holocaust.
Hahaha you self-destroyed any of your arguments. You are basically giving me a shit press which collaborated with nazis blaming Poles to collaborate with nazis. You better watch yourself at what you feed your brain with, cuz this shit is definitely not good. I have a feeling that I'm talking to flat-earther, no joke. They did not even link ANY source, none, they just manipulated the reality to make you believe what you believe. Crazy. Here, just see the "controversies" tab: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associ…
You're demonstrating the effect of nationalism to the human brain. I don't really care that you're aligned with Polish nationalist historical revisionists (far right obviously), I'm adding the context for everyone else to see.
You are telling the lies, not adding the context. What you're telling here should be a shame for you if you have anything to do with Poland. Even worse if you are a Polish leftist, as you only give the reasons to never ever vote for left, cuz thats what we gonna get. Lies, covered in anti-national stories. Let's repeat then: Poland has NOTHING to do with genocides, its ukrainians who did the grnocide to Poles, its germans who did the genocide to jews AND Poles, and you won't change the truth. Anyone here wondering who is right will look up the wikipedia and see what I'm telling clearly aligns with facts - while your opinion is based on 1 publication of nazi press. Shame on you.
Keep being vocally a far right nationalist while saying that Associated Press is "nazi press" and acting like nobody knows about the Polish far right politicians lol and don't get me started about who should be ashamed when there were all these "innocent" Poles who lived right next to Treblinka and Sobibor and didn't notice anything. Minding their own business with extermination camps ten minutes away. Stop whining about it because Polish inactivity is infamous and pretty well attested in the Holocaust sources. Even when you have to honor the "resistance" they end up being anticommunists and nazis.
I see you complaining to a robber pointing a riffle on your head that he already killed someone. You never experienced hard living conditions so you can tell basically nothing about them "not doing anything" (btw IT IS STILL NOT GENOCIDE, the same way you can blame the whole world for not doing anything in case of Gaza). You are using antilogic and have no arguments against Poles, they did NOTHING wrong, they got attacked and tried to stay alive themself, and you blame them for not being a supermen and not saving everyone. Think about yourself, shame on you! And I'm not any far right nationalist, its you who said that, just because I'm defending an innocent country, INNOCENT.
Who is innocent you fucking goon? Poland invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938 with the nazis but you get to eternally whine about the German-Soviet invasion a year later due to cold war historiography painting poor little Poland as the victim, completely avoiding to mention that you went for a land grab first. And you have the nerve to act like there's nothing bad to be said about Polish cowardice despite 3 million Polish Jews dying there. Gtfo with your shitty excuses, several occupied countries were perfectly capable of rescuing Jews and mounting very successful resistance movements like in Yugoslavia etc. Tito would have ended the nightmare in Treblinka in a single operation, there was barely any significant force guarding the extermination camps because the Polish resistance and the population didn't give a fuck when they weren't literal collaborators as I showed earlier.
Yeah it's particularly a Polish thing to let three million citizens die with zero attempt to attack the camps because omg they have rifles!
You are officially the biggest fucking idiot I ever met on lemmy. You got another random argument because you lost two others, and invasion on Czechoslovakia WAS NOT GENOCIDE YOU FUCKING MORON. NO GENOCIDE POLES DID, IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT THEN GET THE FUCK OUT TO SCHOOL. Now how far was Yugoslavia from Berlin, and Poland hmm? Also good you said POLISH JEWS, so Poles mainly struggled by war and you fucking bullshit about Poles not rescuing THEMSELVES. Really shut the fuck up already, enough lies you told, you are currently more delusional than those far-right nationalists you keep mentioning. Go to fucking school, read something before you bark again. Invasion is not genocide, repression is not genocide and not being a superhero is also not genocide. So summing up POLAND DID NO GENOCIDE, which is basically the comment I gave here.
Didn't lose any arguments, you just dismissed even news organizations as "anti-Polish" lol because you can't even handle Polish historians contradicting the trash tier nationalist drivel you spew here, taught to you by the cringe nationalists you keep electing. Polish complacency with the holocaust is well known, cry harder.
Your argument against "Poles did no genocide": Poles did not help the POLISH jews (so Poles) and few of them cooperated with nazis while being occupied by them. Really fuck off, buy brain somewhere, cuz clearly this part was not developed in your body.
Fascism, nationalism, xenophobia etc (trust me I was born in this shithole)

You trying OP, you trying. Hovever the "everyone is bad" is like the first step of ruzzian propaganda so the fact that you need to use it makes me glad. It means that their propaganda needs to go back to step 1 and that's a good sign
The meme isn’t trying to say “eveyone is bad.” It’s showing the hypocrisy of liberals when they make up and believe false bad things about AES states but simp for their country when their country actually does those same things. For example when westerns cry “China is imperialist” (reading about China’s socio-economic system would show that’s not true) but ignore/support their country actually exploiting the Global South.
Knowing the template, this actually does make sense. The first three are ones where it's super clear that you'd have to be quite stupid to fall for it. Then the fourth one, a lot of people wouldn't immediately realise you have to be stupid to fall for them, but it's stupid to fall for them nonetheless.
True to the meme format, the point isn't that it isn't stupid to fall for the first three. It clearly is. But falling for the fourth one is stupid, too.
(though I must admit, the selection of some of the examples is pretty weird)
Don't as a Fin their affiliations in the 1940s also social democracy bases it's economy on off-loading the suffering from the imperial core to the periphery. Essentially social democracy is the embodiment of modern day imperialism (just like any capitalism is tbh)
I'm aware of the export of exploitation to the imperial periphery under a social democratic economic system, but no other nordic social democrat country is there, so I don't think so.
Why are mundane words like this being censored in these posts?
I've seen a couple other ones of these that were unnecessarily censored, and this isn't the first one where it only served to make reading it more frustrating.
Hello- I’m completely new to Linux and have just completed my first installation. Everything is working, but my first challenge is that only one of my monitors has an image, and it’s stuck in 640x480 instead of 3440x1920.
I installed openSUSE Leap 15.6 with KDE plasma. Processor is a Ryzen 3700x with an NVIDIA 4090 GPU.
I tried to troubleshoot as best as I could, but didn’t get very far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you installed the Nvidia drivers? Unlike AMD and Intel, the drivers for Nvidia aren’t included by default (because their code is closed source), so you’ll have to install them before your graphics will work.
Unfortunately, OpenSUSE doesn’t offer an easy way to do this. You can follow this guide:
This did it! Thank you! I actually found this page and did the first half, not realizing there was more. I'm not confident I installed the exact correct driver, but I have dual screens in the proper resolution. This should get me by while I troubleshoot everything else.
::: spoiler All distros have niche purposes, but most components are compatible. As an abstract concept, Linux From Scratch is like ultimate god mode. That walks you through everything in extraordinarily overwhelming fashion to build a operating system from scratch.
Gentoo is like LFS on easy mode with a package manager to help you stay on top of a working system. It is still like maybe demigod mode. The main thing with Gentoo is that you have access to compiling everything from source, so you can integrate any changes you would like to make to packages within the package manager.
If you understand a UNIX operating system on a LFS/Gentoo level, Arch is like both of these, but with binary packages.
Debian is primarily for a more complete base system with stability where they make long term support kernels. Debian is primarily for creating custom tools on servers and for reverse engineering hardware. Most hardware drivers come from Debian.
Red Hat is the goto for commercial server stuff. Many Kernel maintainers and developers work for Red Hat. Fedora is up stream of Red Hat and has most of the tools from Red Hat. The book The Linux Bible is the goto book for learning IT and networking and is written around Fedora/Red Hat.
So the reason for the bla bla bla is because understanding the purposes of each of the distros will guide you to essential documentation. This is the key to intermediate level Linux; when you understand where to look for information across all distros. - LFS will walk you through any components in tutorial detail if you can find the entry point and ground your understanding. - Gentoo is likely to have similar tutorial guides and information that has easier entry points. - Arch is like the giant warehouse of components. Arch has the wiki which is the principal documentation on the components themselves. What Arch is not, is tutorial. The wiki is an encyclopedia. Use it as such. - Debian has the bootstrapping stuff and documentation to port onto new hardware or explore. - Red Hat/Fedora have the information and tools for the kernel and networking. If you want to mess with something like the CPU scheduler or configuring numa architectures, these are the places to look for documentation.
These are general loose guidelines. For your monitor resolution issue, I would start with Gentoo and Arch. I had a similar issue when I tried Arch back around 8-9 years ago, but I do not recall the details and it has probably changed considerably since the X11 to Wayland transition. :::
> Batel's Gorn DNA infusion, the treatment from the chimera plant, and her earlier encounter with the Vezda are stirred up into a convoluted sci-fi stew to explain all this in a dialogue scene that tries with all its might to use sci-fi-y terminology to convince us this actually makes sense, but mostly just draws attention to what a whopper of an ass-pull it all really is. The overriding sense one gets while watching this is, "Well, they're just making stuff up now and pretending it holds water." It really doesn't. But I have to admit that I respect the commitment to the sheer insanity of the concept, even if the effort and seam-hiding are lacking. In the end, it's basically, "because we said so."

Radosław Sikorski upbraids Moscow for being “incapable of living in peace” with its neighbors following a series of incursions into NATO airspace.
Russia shouldn't complain at the United Nations if its missiles or aircraft are shot down after entering NATO airspace, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski warned Moscow on Monday.
Sikorski was speaking at an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council in New York. The summit was convened after three Russian military jets entered Estonian airspace for 12 minutes on Sept. 19 before being repelled by Italian F-35s representing NATO.
"I have only one request to the Russian government: If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or by mistake, and gets shot down and the wreckage falls on NATO territory, please don't come here to whine about it," Sikorski said. "You have been warned."
Not to be outdone, Sikorski sent a further barb Moscow's way in New York: "We know you don't care for international law, and you are incapable of living in peace with your neighbors. Your insane nationalism contains a lust for domination that will not cease until you realize that the age of empires is over and that your empire will not be rebuilt."
"Okay but how would you feel if all of your neighbors joined a hostile alliance just because you spent the last 300 years constantly trying to conquer them by force and refuse to stop now? Did you ever think about it from Russia's perspective?"
You and I both know that the number of times Russia has been invade by their neighbors pales in comparison to the number of times they've occupied or colonized their neighbors. Napoleon alone won't do it. Obviously there was also Germany after the Great Red Brown Alliance carved up eastern Europe into colonies and the USSR ignored the allies' repeated warnings that Germany was going to invade them. Doesn't justify 300 years of ruthless Russian attempted conquest in literally every direction.
Horseshoe theory is garbage, and so is your understanding of history, as well as where most of the nazis went after ww2 (Ukraine, NATO countries, including Canada).
Judging by your other responses in this thread, you need to stop kneejerking and actually do some journalism. I realize my comment isn't gonna be the one that gets you to do some self-crit and maybe ask a few tough questions about the history of NATO but maybe over time you'll come to realize we all have a lot more in common with each other than with those at the top who control narratives. Putin is dogshit, the Russian oligarchy is dogshit, but so is the vast majority of the dogshit coming from the West (the ones who also happen to have more power and, as you're demonstrating, ideological fervor)
Until then, keep using tankie unironically against your perceived enemies, that word means very little to anyone besides fascists and the ill-informed.
The USSR spent the decade before WWII trying to get the west to form an anti-Nazi coalition, but the west was too busy doing copious amounts of trade with the Nazis and signing treaties to do so. Even during the war, the west cloaked how much trade they were still doing, in the case of companies like Ford and Coke.
And whining and accusing others of authoritarianism while living under hereditary monarchy is the level of clownery only brainwashed westoids can achieve. Also believe it or not but not every single country on earth needs to be an ethnically "pure" ethnostate just to avoid being called "imperialist" by concern trolling colonizers.
I don't know why Russia doesn't just stop. It's not like it is achieving anything. And of course Poland shound stop it if they're doing it too, as you said. Haven't heard about it tbh but you're probbaly right
How can NATO force Russia to do these dumb flights into other countries' areas? Unless they're just incompetent or something, can't Russia just decide not to do them?
Broadly speaking, I don't think folks should rush to shoot down planes. Accidents happen. But it's naive to think these recent incursions have been accidents, especially considering how the war has everyone at a heightened state of vigilance. These aren't casual flights, Putin is probing for weakness.
Deliberate. And under the circumstances I'm not opposed to Poland defending their airspace against Russia. Drawing a hardline in the sand is the only way to stop people like Putin.
What?!? How is that piece of crap stock back to a trillion dollar + valuation? All their key metrics are terrible, they have no new products worth mentioning, their robotaxi service is a literal car crash and their robots are 2 years behind Chinese robotics companies.
I will say this though, I am happy I didn't short them even though they fully deserve it.
I used to work with a guy who grew up in the rural American Midwest, used chew, knew how to drive a tractor. He was crazy about Scrooge McDuck and Huey, Louie and Dewie comics. I guess I just assumed there were people who were fans here?

Deux projets en Suisse veulent imposer une vérification obligatoire de l’âge sur les réseaux sociaux : la pétition déposée à la confédération intitulée “Schützt unsere Kinder – Social Media erst ab 16” et le projet de loi LPnum porté par les Verts. L’intention affichée est légitime : protéger les jeunes face aux risques liés à l’usage intensif des plateformes numériques. Mais la solution proposée est dangereuse, disproportionnée et inefficace.
HTTPS, anciennement Parti Pirate Vaudois, défend les libertés numériques, la vie privée et un Internet ouvert. Pour nous, ces projets sont une mauvaise réponse à un vrai problème.
Une mesure intrusive qui menace nos droits fondamentaux
Vérifier l’âge peut sembler anodin au premier abord, mais dans la pratique, c’est une mesure intrusive qui remet en cause plusieurs droits essentiels. Elle porte atteinte à la vie privée, car toute vérification impose de fournir des documents d’identité, des données biométriques ou de passer par un tiers de confiance. Dès lors se posent les questions fondamentales : qui stockera ces données, qui y aura accès et quelles garanties existeront contre les fuites et les abus ?
Cette obligation signe aussi la fin du pseudonymat en ligne. Or, de nombreux utilisateurs — journalistes, militants, victimes de violence de tous âges — dépendent de la possibilité de s’exprimer sous un nom d’emprunt pour se protéger. Imposer une preuve d’identité reviendrait à supprimer cette protection essentielle.
Les risques de censure sont également importants. Les catégories de contenus interdits aux mineurs sont souvent définies de manière vague, et l’expérience montre que cela aboutit à restreindre l’accès à des informations légitimes. Des ressources éducatives sur la santé, la sexualité, l’éducation ou encore les droits humains se sont déjà retrouvées bloquées au nom d’une protection mal définie.
L’exemple de ciao.ch, une plateforme suisse de prévention et de dialogue destinée aux jeunes, illustre parfaitement ce danger. Bien que ce site ait pour objectif de soutenir les adolescents et de répondre à leurs questions sensibles, il pourrait être considéré comme un “réseau social” et se voir interdit ou fortement limité par ce type de législation. Il serait particulièrement contre-productif que des projets censés protéger la jeunesse restreignent l’accès à un outil pensé justement pour l’accompagner.
Enfin, une telle mesure accentuerait l’exclusion numérique. Tout le monde n’a pas un accès facile à des papiers d’identité reconnus, à un système de vérification numérique ou aux compétences pour les utiliser. Les personnes sans-papiers, migrantes, âgées ou en situation précaire risqueraient de se voir exclues d’une partie de l’espace numérique. Ces personnes seraient alors privées des contacts avec leurs proches ou leur communauté.
Quand les experts sonnent l’alarme
L’Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), organisation internationale de défense des libertés numériques, a documenté les effets pervers de ces mesures. Elle montre que la vérification d’âge produit un effet dissuasif même sur les adultes, qui hésitent à consulter certains contenus par crainte d’être surveillés. Cet effet a déjà des conséquences concrètes observables, puisque de nombreux créateurs de contenue pratiquent une autocensure avérée lorsqu’il s’agit de parler de sujets historiques ou de santé, cela pour se conformer à l’opinion ou aux allégeances politiques des propriétaires des réseaux sociaux, qui constituent leur moyen d’expression publique principal. Sur Youtube, les vulgarisateurs doivent aujourd’hui user de périphrases ridicules lorsqu’ils produisent du contenu sur l’histoire du milieu du XXe siècle ; il en va de même pour les associations de prévention contre le viol ou l’inceste. Cela crée un dangereux effet de minimisation du propos et nuit gravement à des messages d’intérêt public majeur.
Elle alerte aussi sur les dérives vers une surveillance généralisée, où l’identité deviendrait une condition préalable à chaque action en ligne. Enfin, elle démontre que ces dispositifs restreignent souvent l’accès à des contenus éducatifs ou communautaires, en particulier pour les jeunes LGBTQ+.
Des alternatives plus sûres et plus efficaces
Protéger les enfants et les adolescents est une nécessité. Mais cette mission ne doit pas justifier la mise en place d’un système de contrôle généralisé. D’autres solutions existent et devraient être privilégiées. L’éducation numérique, par exemple, permet de donner aux jeunes les outils pour comprendre et gérer les risques en ligne. Les familles peuvent être accompagnées avec des outils de contrôle parental qui leur permettent de réguler l’usage des écrans sans imposer de restrictions à l’ensemble de la société.
La transparence des plateformes doit aussi être exigée : il est temps que les réseaux sociaux rendent publics leurs algorithmes, leurs pratiques de modération et leurs effets sur la santé des jeunes. Enfin, des réglementations ciblées, comme l’interdiction des publicités abusives ou la limitation des fonctionnalités addictives, seraient bien plus efficaces que l’imposition d’une vérification d’identité pour tous. L’interopérabilité et la portabilité entre les plateformes permettra aussi de s’en extirper sans perdre les contacts que l’on s’y est fait en passant d’une plateforme à l’autre. Cela limiterait la dépendance aux plateformes existantes et offrirait l’opportunité à de nouvelles plateformes de voir le jour sur des paradigmes différents.
Conclusion : protéger les enfants sans sacrifier nos libertés
L’obligation de prouver son âge sur les réseaux sociaux semble protectrice, mais elle est en réalité dangereuse et contre-productive. Elle ouvrirait la porte à un Internet surveillé, centralisé et inégalitaire, sans garantir une véritable protection des jeunes.
La meilleure façon de protéger les enfants n’est pas de contrôler toute la population, mais de renforcer l’éducation, la responsabilité et la transparence des plateformes.
Le Parti HTTPS-VD s’oppose donc clairement à ces projets. C’est uniquement en garantissant en premier lieu la protection de la vie privée, de la liberté d’expression et de l’accès à la connaissance que nous pourront garantir la protection de nos enfants et de leur avenir.

404 Media has filed a lawsuit against ICE for access to its contract with Paragon, a company that sells powerful spyware for breaking into phones and accessing encrypted messaging apps.
On Monday 404 Media filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demanding the agency publish its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware that can remotely break into mobile phones without the target even clicking a link. The sale of the spyware to ICE has activists and lawmakers deeply concerned about what the agency, which continues to push the Trump administration’s mass deportation effort, may use the technology for. The contract and related documents 404 Media is suing for may provide more information on what ICE intends to do with the spyware.
“404 Media has asked ICE to disclose agency records relating to its contract with a company known for its powerful spyware tool whose potential use in the agency’s ongoing mass-deportation campaign has prompted lawmakers, civil liberties organizations, and immigration groups to express deep concerns over potential civil rights abuses,” the lawsuit says.
404 Media first filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with ICE for documents related to its Paragon purchase in September 2024. Under the law, agencies are required to provide a response within 20 days, or provide an explanation of why they need more time. ICE acknowledged receipt of the request in September 2024, but has not since replied to any follow up inquiries. 404 Media then filed the lawsuit.

💡 Do you know anything else about Paragon, this contract, or any others? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.
The contract itself is for “a fully configured proprietary solution including license, hardware, warranty, maintenance, and training,” according to a description included in a public U.S. procurement database. The funding office for the purchase is listed as a division of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). It is not clear if the ICE deal is for a custom-made tool or for some version of Paragon’s flagship “Graphite” software.
Graphite is capable of letting police remotely break into messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook Messenger, and Gmail according to a 2021 report from Forbes. While other government spyware tries to take over an entire device allowing all sorts of other capabilities, Paragon sets itself apart by promising to access just the messaging applications, according to Forbes.
Still, that is an exceptionally powerful capability which can skirt the protections offered by end-to-end encrypted apps, and one that is likely very attractive to law enforcement or some intelligence agencies. In March researchers from Citizen Lab, an academic group that investigates the government spyware industry, said they identified suspected Paragon deployments in Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Israel, and Singapore. Separately the New York Times reported that the DEA has used Graphite.
Citizen Labs’ researchers said they shared their analysis with Meta, which in turn discovered an active Paragon zero-click exploit for WhatsApp. It involved the attacker adding a target to a WhatApp group and sending them a PDF which automatically infected the device. This meant Paragon’s software could hack into a target phone through its WhatsApp client without any target interaction. Later WhatsApp notified more than 90 people it believed had been targeted with Paragon’s exploit. playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2… Some of those targets were in Italy, including prominent Italian and other European journalists, and activists who rescue refugees at sea. Those revelations have since ballooned into a full-scale political crisis, with parliamentary inquiries and The Guardian reporting that Paragon cancelled its contract with Italy.
Paragon has positioned itself as a more ethical player in the scandal and abuse-ridden government spyware industry. Tools from other vendors stretching back years, from Hacking Team, to FinFisher, to NSO Group, have all been used at some point to spy on journalists or activists. Like the notorious NSO Group, which also tried to enter the U.S. market, Paragon is based in Israel.
After ICE reactivated its Paragon contract, Senator Ron Wyden said in a statement to Bloomberg “ICE is already shredding due process and ruining lives in its rush to lock up kids, cooks and firefighters who pose no threat to anyone.”
“I’m extremely concerned about how ICE will use Paragon’s spyware to further trample on the rights of Americans and anyone who Donald Trump labels as an enemy,” he added.

Most services ask for your email address and/or recovery key to recover your account. LinkedIn, on the other hand, goes full surveillance mode. It wants my actual government ID to give access to my account.
If this was critical banking service, I would have understood. But it is freakin LinkedIn, the most I have got out of that place is actual lunatics.
I had to do the same thing yesterday and used my passport and selfie. I then got a notice from LinkedIn saying it wasn’t enough and they want a second ID.
The horror! I detest that website with my all. It was one of the earliest places I saw a nasty dark pattern. They would bait you to pay to see who viewed your profile, preying on job seekers desperate for a signal that something may come their way. Nasty evil people those!
Do you have to verify your identity? I know in the past you had that option but didn't have to do it. But they just changed their terms of service so is this part of that?
I don't generally use LinkedIn. I opened it today after long time and got logged out and was shown this.
It is ironical because Microsoft owns LinkedIn but for rescuing a Microsoft account (which is arguably more important because emails at the least are linked to it. And then there is One drive, Authenticator apps and what not) none of this is required. But for rescuing what is essentially a fruitless social network, they need an ID.
Honestly as someone who would wish nothing more than having to stop using linkedin...yeah they can close my account.
The only thing I use it for is arguing with tech bros and calling them morons so as to drum up my own clients. that works. beyond that it's absolutely useless. I just wouldn't bother with them, close your account, you'll be better off.
(23 September - Geneva) As Egypt makes a bid for election to the United Nations Human Rights Council, compelling evidence has emerged that implicates the Egyptian government and its military in the commission of war crimes and potential crimes agai…
By US law Egypt is ineligible to receive any US aid, which they do, and without the US their military would be about completely useless.
Because they overthrew a democracy elected government when they got tacit Western support because the democratically elected leader was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
For Egypt to be given the chair of this seat is just beyond the pale, it is like getting Saudi Arabia the climate change conference. Nothing matters anymore.
Torture, murder, total lack of due process rights for the accused, kangaroo courts, you name it. We have evidence that Egypt has tortured people because we still have the receipt when the US handed them people to torture for us in extraordinary rendition.
I used to prefer to go to old.programming.dev/ but this frontend is not working anymore (for a few months I believe). As I get a bad gateway response, hopefully, this is something that could be fixed.
But maybe I was the only user of this frontend, in which case, I think this might not be worth to revive it.

Ultimamente ho scoperto un nuovissimo meme: “immagina che hai la sveglia per prendere l’insulina, perché hai il diabete, ma Android si dimentica e quindi MUORI“… e vabbé, ma neanche a fà così, ho pensato… Però immagina più semplicemente di avere una sveglia perché ti devi svegliare, ma Android si dimentica e quindi ti licenziano a […]
quando Android sta zitto, la morte arriva!!! (strano bug di Android per cui la sveglia non suona)
Ultimamente ho scoperto un nuovissimo meme: “immagina che hai la sveglia per prendere l’insulina, perché hai il diabete, ma Android si dimentica e quindi MUORI“… e vabbé, ma neanche a fà così, ho pensato… Però immagina più semplicemente di avere una sveglia perché ti devi svegliare, ma Android si dimentica e quindi ti licenziano a lavoro, o boh, cose del genere… Se questi scenari non mi facessero sotto sotto ridere malamente, ci sarebbe oggettivamente da piangere, perché la situazione, per quanto ipotetica sembra, in realtà è realissima, e appunto non è buona. 👄
Ironicamente, visto quante rogne ho di continuo con Android e quindi lo odio, questa è una delle poche cose con cui io non ho mai avuto problemi… sia sullo Ximi, sia sul tablet, sia sul Huawi vecchio (e sull’S5 Mini non so, perché a 11-13 anni non usavo la sveglia, erano altri tempi), la sveglia è sempre suonata… poi io magari non la sento, ma quello è un problema di skill, non di Android. Invece, cercando online si trovano fin troppe segnalazioni di gente che o dice di vedere personalmente la sveglia che non suona (usando intanto altre sveglie, funzionanti, per svegliarsi), o di non ritrovarsi con la classica notifica di sveglia persa la mattina pur non avendola mai spenta… oppure, il colmo definitivo: nelle notifiche appare che la sveglia non è suonata per “motivi ignoti“! (Per chiarezza, sottinteso in tutti questi casi è che si usi la app Orologio di sistema, su ROM stock.) 💀 Quest’ultimo scenario è così assurdo che, se non ci fossero schermate a documentarlo, faticherei a crederci nonostante le tantissime segnalazioni, e penserei piuttosto sia un’allucinazione collettiva, perché sembra così campato per aria… ma, purtroppo è reale, e in realtà non dovrei sorprendermene, visto che c’è lo zampino di Google; perché questo particolare errore sembra in realtà specifico ai loro Pixel (e le recensioni della app su Google Play sono pesantemente negative anche per questo)… E ora non voglio fare il solito discorso per come lì a Mountain View dovrebbero smettere di produrre dei telefoni venduti come top di gamma che in realtà hanno tremila problemi che nessun cinesone Mediatek preso a caso da Amazon ha, e soprattutto come gli scemi dovrebbero smettere di comprarli, però porca miseria, è imbarazzante! Ma è possibile che che rompono il cazzo con l’IA e il cloud e vattelappesca e poi non funziona il fottuto orologio su sti telefoni schifosi??? 😭
La cosa curiosa, però, è che tutte queste lamentele sembrano di tempi piuttosto recenti. A parte queste con i Google Pixel, che sono notizia fresca di mesi, trovo qualcosa riguardo Samsung (ma sempre solo dalla bocca dei redditor e degli youtuber, quindi prenderei con cautela), ma usando i filtri di Google per cercare in anni già precedenti al 2020 si trova pochissima roba, mentre prima del 2015 non si trova quasi niente. Ci sarebbe a questo punto una teoria interessante da fare, cioè che è il doze di Android che rompe tutto, ma quello è stato introdotto solo una decina di anni fa con Marshmallow (…ricordavo Nougat, mi sbagliavo?), quindi non giustifica un’esplosione di problemi negli ultimissimi anni, specialmente perché chi ha problemi con le sveglie è comunque una minoranza dell’intera base di utenti di Android. Certamente, almeno per Samsung il risparmio energetico dell’OEM potrebbe centrare… 😖
Ho raccolto come sempre milioni di link, ordinati dalle discussioni più recenti alle più vecchie… tra cui anche qualcuna di due decenni fa, che però non fa testo, è giusto per sfizio, che in quei tempi Android era ancora un troiaio rotto tra diversi dispositivi… mica come oggi, che funziona sempre! (Ah ah ah!) memos.octt.eu.org/m/nMCrLjban7…. Boh, resta un mistero, perché per alcuni la soluzione è “pulisci la cache dell’orologio” (che è una frase così distopica che mi sento male solo a scriverla, cazzo se ODIO dove ci ha portati la tecnologia!), per altri non ci sta versi, e da quando su Android ci sono tutte le cose di risparmio energetico forzato io nemmeno mi fiderei ad usare app di sveglia terze, perché pure quelle magari non suonano (c’è una API in Android che le app a tempo possono usare per impostare timer di attivazione eh, ma non è che funzioni perfettamente e ovunque, siamo sempre lì, maremma bona)… un disastro. 💥
Hello guys, today I wanted to talk about a project I deeply care about and I'm actively contributing to, as I believe its good for everyone, including privacy concerned users
Ladybird Browser
This browser comes from the project "SerenityOS", and has since evolved and separated from it. The founders are Andreas Kling, and Chris Wanstrath. The main goal of this project is to create a browser from scratch, avoiding chromium, gecko, etc. The main keypoints that should be of interest for Privacy Oriented Users are the following:
Ladybird lead (Andreas Kling) states "We're not monetizing users, in any way. This is uncharted territory for browsers. So we're not going to do any default search deals. We're not going to do cryptocurrencies or try to monetize user data, just sponsorships and donations"
While** Ladybird will implement current web standards including cookie handling and tracking mechanisms for compatibility**, the browser's philosophy puts the user in control of these decisions, not the company. The browser won't have built-in incentives to encourage data collection since it doesn't profit from it.
It aims to be "free from advertising's influence" Ladybird, representing a shift away from the current web ecosystem where users like us are the product. This allows the project to implement privacy features without worrying about harming advertising partners or revenue streams.
As of now, the project has hired several developers with money coming from donations, from partners such as FUTO, Shopify, Cloudflare, among many, and is also seeing lots of volunteer activity on github. So well, if you like the web having more diversity and us having another alternative to google, check them outladybird.org/

in reply to Kami • • •So you're saying because trump goes on a rant and doesn't slander nuclear power, that's a reason not to continue to progress with the tech?
What a strange take.
Kami doesn't like this.

in reply to Kami • • •If people are still building fossil fuel plants, it's preferable that they build nuclear instead. Nuclear has the downsides of what to do with the waste (modern reactors produce much less than older designs, and some actually use the waste from older designs as fuel), expansion of fossil fuels have the downside that we won't live long enough for nuclear waste to become any kind of real problem
Obviously renewables are best, but whilst we've not got the battery tech ready for 100% renewable base load, it's not enough on its own.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good
