How Israel’s West Bank strategy aims to bury Palestinian statehood
Published Sept. 22, 2025 06:07 AM EDT
Home to 2.7 million Palestinians, the Israeli-occupied West Bank has long been at the heart of plans for a future nation existing alongside Israel. The model is known as the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and would also include Gaza. It is backed by most countries around the world.But the construction of settlements for Israelis has reduced the land left for Palestinians, cutting their towns and cities off from each other.
Approval to build settlements has accelerated rapidly under the current Israeli government, which includes vehemently pro-settler parties that want to annex the West Bank to Israel.

While Carr complained that Democrats interpreted his comments as a threat to Disney, he didn't mention that his comments were also interpreted as a threat by several prominent Senate Republicans. Disney suspended Kimmel's show last week after Carr said ABC affiliates could have licenses revoked for "news distortion," but reinstated Kimmel yesterday after facing backlash from the public. Kimmel will be back on the air on many ABC-affiliated stations, but not those run by Nexstar and Sinclair, which have replaced Jimmy Kimmel Live! with news and other programming.

Google just broke *all* third-party YT clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required.
So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.

Beginning very soon, you'll need to have the JavaScript runtime Deno installed to keep YouTube downloads working as normal. Why? Up until now, yt-dlp has been able to use its built-in JavaScript "i...bashonly (GitHub)

A few weeks ago, dockworkers in Genoa threatened a total shutdown of ports if Israel interfered with the Global Sumud Flotilla, the humanitarian aid mission of dozens of boats heading to Gaza to try and break Israel’s siege and blockade. Student organizations in Spain and Italy joined the call to action, threatening to shut down their schools.These statements were the spark that lit the most widespread and powerful action in Italy in solidarity with Palestine: a nationwide day of strikes, blockades, marches, and clashes with police — who responded with brutal repression.
Under the slogan “Blocchiamo Tutto” (“We Block Everything” for Gaza), hundreds of thousands of workers and students led actions in at least eighty cities across the country — including in Milan, Rome, Naples, and Florence.

Democratic lawmakers demand answers from TV station owners over pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show
ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns Tuesday night, but Nexstar and Sinclair are keeping the show off their affiliate stations.
Four Democratic lawmakers are opening a probe into Nexstar and Sinclair, two major TV station owners that are refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show amid criticism of his on-air comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In a letter, first obtained by NBC News, the lawmakers asked the corporate heads of both companies for more information about their decisions to pre-empt airings of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “how those decisions may relate to regulatory issues pending with the Trump administration.”
“If you suspended a late-night comedian’s show in part to seek regulatory favors from the administration, you have not only assisted the administration in eroding First Amendment freedoms but also create the appearance of a possible quid-pro-quo arrangement that could implicate federal anti-corruption laws,” the lawmakers wrote.

Documents offer rare insight on Ice’s close relationship with Palantir
ver the past decade, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (Ice) has amassed millions of data points that it uses to identify and track its targets – from social media posts to location history and, most recently, tax information.
And there’s been one, multibillion-dollar tech company particularly instrumental in enabling Ice to put all that data to work: Palantir, the data analytics firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, the rightwing mega-donor and tech investor.
For years, little was known about how Ice uses Palantir’s technology. The company has consistently described itself as a “data processor” and says it does not play an active role in any of its customers’ data collection efforts or what clients do with that information.
Now, a cache of internal Ice documents – including hundreds of pages of emails between Ice and Palantir, as well as training manuals, and reports on the use of Palantir products – offer some of the first real-world examples of how Ice has used Palantir in its investigations and during on-the-ground enforcement operations.

GSA walks back mass layoffs of its federal buildings workforce
The General Services Administration is looking to reinstate hundreds of laid-off employees who managed its governmentwide real estate portfolio.
GSA’s Public Buildings Service is giving laid-off employees the option to return to their jobs, after sending them reduction-in-force notices earlier this year.
“This serves as an update to your previously issued notice of reduction in force. Your specific notice of Reduction in Force (RIF) has been rescinded, effective immediately,” acting PBS Commissioner Andrew Heller wrote in a notice obtained by Federal News Network.
GSA is giving PBS employees until the end of the day on Friday, Sept. 26, to accept or decline reinstatement. If employees accept the offer, they must report to their previous posts by Oct. 6.

Trump goes off script in UN address, praising Germany for returning to nuclear energy and fossil fuels: ‘All green is all bankrupt’
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.Ashley Lutz (Fortune)

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

Places like Nebula have better operating models but they’re also very niche.
lambalicious
in reply to 0xtero • • •That's precisely the trick. Don't try to copy Youtube. You're gonna lose. And it's not the Peertube intended use case anyway.
Instead, Peertube and other such platforms should work as cross-indexing domain-specific, configuration-specific video galleries. A retro videogame video archive does not need 4K 120fps Dobly 14.3 audio; they can just encode most of everything in 480i 30fps and their storage costs will go down significantly. A news report / news reel archive can save some costs by encoding as SDR (or even lower) with ~80kbps mono MP3 audio or somesuch, since most of everything past the intro jingle is human voice.
Play to your advantages. Trying to break into a monopoly game where the rules are broken, the only other player is broken, and the entry fees are broken is self-defeating.
0xtero
in reply to lambalicious • • •Yes indeed - this is great idea and probably the only way a "web scale" distributed video service can work - unfortunately this doesn't quite exist yet. Even mature implementations like Mastodon have hard time dealing with "global" free text searching (or any kind of taxonomy). But maybe that's the idea that starts a truly free web!

in reply to lambalicious • • •To directly quote the HydrogenAudio KB article on Opus:
Essentially transparent speech plus moderately good stereo musicEssentially transparent mono or stereo speech, fairly good stereo musicEssentially transparent mono or stereo speech, reasonable musicYou're getting basically transparent speech at a bit over half the bitrate of 80kbit/s MP3 or less, and even with music, Opus like I said is transparent for music at 160-192kbit/s according to the same KB article I'm quoting, while MP3 needs 320kbit/s CBR for transparency for music, although if I'm transcoding FLAC files to Opus, I normally just max out the codec at 510kbit/s where MP3's transparency bitrate of 320kbit/s is also the bitrate it maxes out at.
The only good reason IMO why one should use MP3 in 2025 when better codecs exist, both lossy and lossless, is when the device they're targeting is so old or crappy that it can't support anything better than MP3.

My understanding is, all the workarounds in use recently work or fail depending on the IP address you have.
I don't know anything about this change but it seems to simply require a JS engine in your client. Any browser has that, so the browser addons probably aren't effected by this change.
However, it's clear that YT is waging an incremental campaign here. Today it's yt-dlp, next week... who knows.
