Civility Is a Fantasy
After encouraging podcast listeners of the recently deceased Charlie Kirk to become online vigilantes in search of anyone “celebrating” Mr. Kirk’s death, Vice President JD Vance said last week: “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility. And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”
Vance was doing what conservatives often do — conjuring up people so his followers have someone specific to foment against. This brand of demagoguery is incredibly dangerous, because when informally deputized vigilantes realize that few real enemies exist, they accept any substitute. They direct their manufactured ire toward innocent people, marginalized groups and, eventually, each other.
Civility is the mode of engagement that is often demanded in political discourse; it is the price of admission to important political conversation, its adherents would have us believe; no civility, no service. But civility — this idea that there is a perfect, polite way to communicate about sociopolitical differences — is a fantasy...

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians
Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military's access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank, the Guardian can reveal.Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military's elite spy agency, had violated the company's terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform, sources familiar with the situation said.
The decision to cut off Unit 8200's ability to use some of its technology results directly from an investigation published by the Guardian last month. It revealed how Azure was being used to store and process the trove of Palestinian communications in a mass surveillance programme.

Besides outertune there's harmonymusic as well
None protect your IP if not using a non self hosted frontend like invidio or piped, cause if self hosted then you're providing your IP any ways. So now a days actually private is kind of hard. But these applications for sure help a lot.
I tried it out on my laptop that's running Fedora and so far it's great. it's a shame that the development of it has ended.
I'm thinking of using Outertune when i get myself a pixel and install GrapheneOS on it.

Cronache del Fediverso
📜 Cronache dalla Bolla Fediversiana 🫧
🌀 Nel Fediverso (anzi, nel mio caro Mastodon 💜) noto che sì, la gente è un po’ meno… ma l’atmosfera è migliorata di brutto!
Certo, ogni tanto spunta ancora quello che sale sul piedistallo per fare il discorso da oracolo ✨📢, ma in generale il clima è più leggero e piacevole.
Sì, siamo meno, probabilmente ci stiamo creando la nostra piccola bolla… ma sapete una cosa? Io qui sto meglio di prima. E non ho nessuna voglia di fare paragoni con i social commerciali.
Ormai è quasi una grande famiglia 🤗 dove ci si conosce tutti un po’.
La voglia di interagire? Di conoscere persone nuove? Sempre presente!
Ma a un ritmo finalmente… umano. 🚲🌱

Whizzing up some Centennial Incognito
Incognito | HAAS®
Incognito is a 100% all-natural hop product crafted to deliver highly concentrated flavor while maximizing brewing efficiency and reducing process loss.Haas
It’s intriguing to me. For professionals (even or especially small ones) the loss of product to vegetable matter is a significant concern especially in jurisdictions that are taxed on the wort rather than the product. I’ve heard of 20% or more loss, but that’s got something to do with being a tiny 3hL system and brewing triple IPAs. Still, it is expensive to throw away so much product.
One of the problems, I think, with nonalcoholic beer is that some of the compounds we like best in hops are not water soluble and depend on the alcohol to pull them out of the dry hopping. I wonder if this product changes that calculus.

Even if they are extracted into this fluid (for example, with polyalcohols, maybe just sugars), they still might crash on "fermentation" of nonalcoholic beer, whatever process is used. Maybe if these are strictly nonfermentable polyalcohols and at the same time highly soluble in various conditions (maybe even at 0C fermentation, as one of possible production ways), this might work indeed.

China Sets First Absolute Emissions Cut Target for 2035, Falling Short of Paris Path
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42916278
Archived[...]
China has pledged for the first time to cut its greenhouse gas emissions in absolute terms, committing to reduce economy-wide net emissions by 7–10% from peak levels by 2035, “striving to do better.” President Xi Jinping announced the target in a video address to a high-level climate summit in New York convened by UN Secretary-General António Guterres during the General Assembly.
[...]
Experts welcomed the structural shift to an absolute cut but judged the ambition insufficient for a 1.5°C pathway. “Anything less than 30% is not aligned with 1.5 degrees,” said Lauri Myllyvirta of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). Greenpeace East Asia’s Yao Zhe said the plan “still falls short,” even for tempered expectations. Belinda Schäpe, a China policy analyst at CREA, framed the pledge as politically cautious and argued China’s clean-energy boom could still deliver reductions of 30% or more by 2035 if current trends hold. In her words, today’s announcement should be viewed as the floor, not the ceiling.

Yep, sorry, we have piefed.social/f/3dprinting and that clashes with it for deeply technical reasons.
There is a solution but it is not straightforward and involves changes to the way PieFed federates. It's high on the agenda, though.
Australian Under 16 media ban is censorship by stealth and data harvesting by law
The comments around the under 16 media ban seem to be missing a salient point.
In order to determine if a user is under 16, you need to determine that for every single user .. including you!
This means that your personal data will be harvested in order to determine if you are over 16 or not.
Ummm, they already harvest your personal data to that extent. I guess some of the really paranoid might be caught in the wider net but honestly if you're that paranoid then you're probably not using social media directly anyway. The media too is bringing up this point in that it's a privacy concern but the internet is far less private than 99% of people think anyway, it's a data security concern but not a privacy concern.
Now, the recent age-checking for porn introduced by the e-Karen without any parliamentary or even media debate, that's something to be concerned about.
