Exclusive: Government refuses to release climate security report
According to MPs who have seen a “terrifying” external threat assessment kept secret by the Albanese government for nearly three years, Australians have been given only half of the “wake-up call” needed on the threat of climate change.Karen Barlow (The Saturday Paper)

How Bill Gates is playing both sides of the climate crisis – video
Think Bill Gates is fixing the climate crisis? Not if you follow the money. While he funds green innovation and talks about cutting emissions, Gates also invests in dirty industries such as coal, oil and private jets. In this episode, Neelam Tailor exposes how one of the world’s most powerful climate voices is betting on both sides of the crisis – and making a lot of money in the process

Both? Both sides? Both sides of the climate crisis? My dudes, nobody gets to go live on the Sun under its protection, not even with all the money. There's one side to the climate crisis, and we're all on it.
Oh, I see. He's making money pretending to invest in green technologies, and he's making money polluting the environment. That's the "both sides" they meant. Except those two industries are still both on the same side of the equation. It's like we're all on the Titanic, and Gates is spreading towels over deck chairs AND sitting at a table by the bar, like "Oh no! A guy with all the money is being greedy and dishonest. What should we do?"

Federal vs Local Control: What does Trumps Crackdown on D.C. Law Enforcement look like?
What do clashes like this tell us about the balance between public safety, local autonomy, and executive power in the U.S.?
"In August of 2025, President Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, declaring a ‘public safety emergency’ in Washington, D.C after citing rampant crime. Under this order, he could place the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) under federal control for 30 days. Between August 11 and September 10, over 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed alongside local forces to patrol the streets. During this time, over 40% of the arrests made in D.C. were immigration-related."

linuxanza di emergenza nei momenti di peggior viaggio mentale (installo Linux in autobus perché Windows si è rotto)
In questi giorni si è verificato un meme molto conosciuto ma altrettanto sgradito, e cioè che ho scoperto che Windows 10 sul mio portatile è corrotto malamente, chissà da quanto tempo e chissà perché… È corrotto al punto che durante l’uso normale non si nota nulla di particolarmente anomalo, al di là delle solite piccole stranezze che non si capisce mai se sono di design o no (si sa che Microsoft non può mai e poi mai fare software 100% funzionanti, altrimenti nessuno comprerebbe più le versioni successive, e loro andrebbero quindi in bancarotta), ma certa roba a livello di sistema non funziona… e l’ho scoperto veramente a caso, provando ad installare l’emulatore di Android Studio, che però da un errore incomprensibile nell’attivare il servizio di virtualizzazione… mentre, provare ad attivare quello interno di Windows fallisce con un avviso per cui il registro di sistema sarebbe corrotto. 😐La cosa veramente merdosa però, e davvero non so come facciano pure i fan più sfegatati di Windows a non odiare ancora Microsoft nonostante questi continui avvenimenti (che capitano non solo a me in particolare, ma scommetto a decine o centinaia di utenti al giorno in generale, in diverse salse), è che il sistema è totalmente irreparabile. Ho provato ad aggiornare a Windows 11 dalle impostazioni, sospettando potesse essere in realtà un complotto per farmelo fare… ma, alla fine, ha preso e annullato tutte le modifiche, in culo al mio tempo. Ho pure provato a reinstallare Windows 10 da ISO, con l’opzione di non formattare, ma ha fatto la stessa identica schifezza… e quindi… 😭
Lo schifo di Windows meriterà forse un ennesimo suo approfondimento, ma il punto è: visto che non posso e/o non voglio formattare il disco, ma dovrei farlo se voglio riparare ‘sto OS di merda… piuttosto, ne ho liberato quasi metà e ho deciso di installare (in dual boot) Linussy, cioè Linux ma sussy. (Semplicemente Fedora KDE Plasma, nessuna distribuzione strana, però non farebbe ridere detto così.) Ok, il sistema operativo non sarà intrinsecamente sussy, ma il mio processo di installazione si, visto che, tra tutti i posti del pianeta Terra, è avvenuto proprio… in autobus (quindi, tecnicamente, in più posti contemporaneamente, che è doppiamente assurdo). Almeno, questa era l’idea iniziale, venuta un po’ per l’estremo potenziale memetico, e in altra parte per ottimizzare il tempo, evitando di privarmi del portatile nei momenti in cui poteva servirmi… 😤
Ovviamente, nemmeno i piani che faccio per ridere vanno mai a buon fine. Avrei dovuto fare questa cosa ieri mattina, ma ho dovuto prima perdere tempo a comprimere la partizione NTFS per ricavare spazio utile dal disco… per 2 volte, perché farlo da Esplora Risorse non ha sortito effetto alcuno (…però il tempo me lo ha sprecato tutto… oh, va bene il registro corrotto, ma a me questa installazione sembra proprio affetta da una maledizione…), e quindi ho dovuto poi farlo di nuovo da riga di comando (e lì ha funzionato). Da ieri mattina, allora, sono arrivata alla sera tardissimo, e ho quindi dovuto di nuovo posticipare il momento Linux in sé… a stamattina, con una nuova fresca occasione autobussiaca. Beh, stamane mi sono ricordata che la mia chiavetta con Ventoy era mezza sfatta, vedendo che la ISO di Linux scaricata la sera prima non si avviava, e ho dovuto perdere altro tempo… a copiare tutti i file dalla pennetta al PC, formattare la pennetta, e ricopiare tutto sopra; l’intera mattinata di lezioni (ma nel mentre il computer era operativo, chiaramente, quindi non un problema). 🥱
Alla fine, sembrava che l’installazione vera sarebbe avvenuta nell’autobus di ritorno di oggi, ed ero così vicina a vedere ciò essere il caso… ma, purtroppo, rimpicciolire la partizione di Windows per fare spazio per Linux ha impiegato praticamente l’intero tragitto, e quindi alla fine dei conti Fedora si è installato quando io ero già bella a casina, a pranzo. Però… nell’autobus ho avviato il sistema live di Linux, e anche l’installer, pure se intanto ho dovuto perdere tempo con il gestore delle partizioni, quindi… si può dire che, almeno a metà, ho effettivamente installato Linux in un pullman??? Se si, questa cosa fa così tanto utente Linux che credo di meritarmi sticker gratis, o qualcosa del genere… 😈
Comunque, appurato che Fetora funziona, finché non escono problemi non farò nessun aggiornamento di sistema, mai; aggiorno solo le app (rigorosamente Flatpak) e vedremo se, in questo modo, finalmente avrò un sistema Linux desktop che non si spacca puntualmente da solo con il troppo uso… anche se, venendo da Windows su quel portatile, che si spacca puntualmente da solo con il troppo uso pur senza fare aggiornamenti, forse non dovrei lamentarmi comunque. (E a parte tutto, sono stata relativamente sculata in questa impresa, perché il portatile acceso nel mio zaino con la chiavetta inserita c’è entrato a filissimo… altrimenti, dovendo scendere dall’autobus erano cazzi, perché ovviamente non potevo interrompere la modifica delle partizioni a metà. Anche questa, però, è linuxeria.) 👌👌👌
(P.S., dedicato a chi non crede nella mia potenza… Anche se purtroppo non si vede benissimo, dai bordi delle foto si nota l’ambiente autobus; godete, è tutto reale!!!)

Wissam Hamada, the mother of Hind Rajab, and several members of her family safely evacuated from Gaza to a third country on Thursday after protracted negotiations with the state of Israel for her release, a source involved in the exfiltration told Drop Site.Five-year-old Hind was killed by Israeli soldiers in January 2024, along with six other members of her family in Gaza City. Her killing made global headlines after a recording of her call with Palestinian emergency dispatchers pleading to be rescued was posted online.
On January 29, 2024, the car Hind was in was shot at by the Israeli military, killing her uncle, aunt, and three cousins. Relatives called the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Ramallah seeking help. When a team member called the number provided, Hind’s 15-year-old cousin, Layan Hamada, the only other survivor in the car, picked up. Layan told them there was an Israeli tank nearby shooting at them. Layan can be heard screaming amid the sound of intense machine gun fire, after which, the call went dead. The rescue team called the phone back, and Hind answered, telling them that Layan had been shot and killed, she had been injured, and everyone in the car was dead. She said she could see the tank and that it was getting closer.

Italy sends second warship to protect flotilla – but asks it to surrender its aid to Israel
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6251000
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/64652
Italy has despatched a second warship to support the humanitarian Global Sumud Flotilla en route to deliver aid to Gaza and break Israel’s criminal starvation blockade, following continued – now nightly – Israeli attacks on the fleet of volunteer-crewed boats.But at the same time, the Italian government has tried to pressure the flotilla to capitulate to Israeli demands to surrender its aid supplies – in this case to the local Catholic Church, which Israel will supposedly allow to distribute the aid in Gaza unmolested, despite the occupation’s diversion of aid to the criminal gangs it funds and its near-daily slaughter of desperate Palestinian aid-seekers.
Italy sending more support to the Global Sumud Flotilla – but with demands
The Global Sumud Flotilla consists of around fifty civilian vessels crewed by lawyers, politicians, medics and activists and has been repeatedly bombed by drones and buzzed by fighter aircraft, now with the added psychological warfare of drones playing loud music all night to try to deprive crews of sleep. Despite this one-sided aggression, the Israeli government is claiming that it is the unarmed humanitarian volunteers who are ‘pursuing violence’.Italy sent a first naval ship earlier this week to ‘assist’ the flotilla after it was bombed by at least fifteen drones in international waters near Greece. Spain followed suit shortly afterward. So far, no crew member has been reported killed or seriously hurt.
Italian PM Giorgia Meloni said the government’s proposal was to hand the aid over in Cyprus to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem for distribution in Gaza, and tried to blame the flotilla organisers for not accepting the ‘offer’.
Israel continues to maintain its vice-like grip on food and other essentials in Gaza while shooting and shelling starving aid-seekers at the ‘GHF’ so-called ‘aid’ stations it controls and funding an ISIS-linked criminal gang to steal aid and kill Palestinian refugees.
The flotilla crews have said they will continue on their mission to deliver the aid directly.

You are technically correct, in the literal sense that managers and executives have work to do.
It should be noted, however, that it is the workers (not the company owners/investors) that create all the products that are up for sale and the infrastructure necessary to begin production (e.g., roads, bridges, electricity, education, etc.). Hence, when a CEO say that they "built" the company, they are obfuscating the exploitation of the labor of workers who transform raw materials into all the useful commodities we enjoy.
But in the end the worst are the owners and investors who litteraly just steal.

Russia’s war against Ukraine
Sergey Lavrov, Foreign Minister of Russia, takes part in the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on the margins of the General Debate of the UN General Assembly. Lavrov claimed during the session that NATO and the EU have “declared war” on Russia through Ukraine. (Kay Nietfeld/picture alliance via Getty Images)
NATO, EU have ‘declared war’ on Russia through Ukraine, Lavrov claims. Sergey Lavrov alleged that NATO and the EU had moved beyond indirect support and were now parties to the war.
Moscow envoy threatens war if NATO shoots down Russian aircraft. NATO potentially shooting down Russian planes in its airspace “would be war,” Russian Ambassador to France, Alexey Meshkov, said in an interview with the RTL news channel published on Sept. 25.
Europe, NATO ready to shoot down Russian jets, Bloomberg reports. European diplomats warned Russian officials this week that NATO is prepared to respond to further airspace violations with force, including by shooting down Russian planes, Bloomberg reported Sept. 25.
Zelensky says he won’t seek re-election after war, will push for elections during potential ceasefire. “It’s not my goal — elections… My goal is to finish the war,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
‘How well they burn’ — Ukraine destroys 2 Russian An-26 transport aircraft, radar stations in occupied Crimea, HUR says. The strike was part of ongoing efforts to destroy high-value Russian assets on the peninsula, Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) said.

Major Russian chemical plant reportedly halts operations after Ukrainian drone attack. EuroChem-Belorechensk specializes in nitrogen and complex fertilizers but also produces phosphorus-based products and sulfuric acid, a key component in ammunition manufacturing.
Ukraine’s sea drones ‘paralyze‘ Russian Black Sea oil hubs, HUR source says. “Naval drones targeted key logistics facilities belonging to the aggressor state on the Black Sea coast,” the source said.
Kremlin officials ‘will have to know where the bomb shelters are,’ Zelensky says. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed support for such strikes, saying, “We will work on it.”
Trump says Russia ‘gained virtually no land‘ in Ukraine offensive despite heavy costs. “With all of the heavy bombardment over the last two weeks, they’ve gained almost no land,” Trump told the press in the White House during a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Ukrainian military strikes 3 gas distribution stations in occupied Luhansk. The Ukrainian military struck three gas distribution stations in the Russian-occupied part of Luhansk Oblast overnight on Sept. 25, according to military officials.

Where does Palantir get the data from to begin with?
They don't have a social media service, right? So where do they get the data to train their AI models ? Surely they need a lot, right? It would be nice if the public knew who cooperates with them (other than governments) and just boycott their services, or at least pressure them.
If company X doesn't offer your data to governments officials, but offers them to Palantir which makes a profile of you that it offer to the same officials, isn't that even worse ?
like this
They don't. They sell tools to governments and companies, that the clients use with their own data, that they already have. Palantir doesn't do the spying or data harvesting, and they don't have any data of their own, they develop and sell tools that clients use with whatever data the clients have.
They make the spy tools, they are not doing the spying.
I used to run in consulting circles, long enough time around execs and you start to see just how well the good ol boy clubs, and know-a-guy chains can make business deals between firms. Once you get the ball rolling on a project as a large enough entity, it doesn't take much to consult the digital equivalent of their rolodex to find vendor upon vendor for this part, this data broker, etc.
Cheaper in bulk too.
New digital ID scheme to be rolled out across UK
New digital ID scheme to be rolled out across UK
A new digital ID scheme will help combat illegal working while making it easier for the vast majority of people to use vital government services. Digital ID will be mandatory for Right to Work checks by the end of the Parliament.Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street (GOV.UK)

ID Cards are a big hot button issue in the UK. We only really had them in the UK during the Second World War as a matter of national security, but after that they were scrapped.
Basically this document will not stop illegal working (because you know, people who hire illegal workers don't check paperwork) but what they will do is link everything to your card, especially with the Online Safety Act. Said something like "Palestine Action shouldn't be Proscribed"? You can be flagged and the Cops can notice that when they scan your card. Transgender? That can be flagged and the Cops will treat you differently.
Add to that the idea of a Politcal Party like Reform getting into power and you can imagine how much of a clusterfuck this will be if they decide to have a "War on Woke".

Totally agree on this, but as for the rest, I'm guessing this only expedites linking up information by virtue of it being in a computerised system rather than enabling it at all.
It is very worrisome that a party like that could get into power, but it doesn't change how it's always been, we are at the "mercy" of our government, if they want to single out a demographic and actively hamper it, they will find a way regardless of the tools in use.
To focus on this as a bad aspect looks to me like it's sort of missing the point, this more or less should provide an easier management of information.
What could be argued instead, is that it is locking out people who don't have the access to devices enabled to it, which is a real problem if they want to phase out papers completely. Here in Italy already with the IO app we can (so it's currently fully optional) have our driving licence digitised, but that single feature doesn't work (at least for now, and it's been almost a year by now that support hasn't been added) on GrapheneOS, for example.
I think the real issues are two: a hostile government, which holds true regardless of methods, and lack of support for secure and private platforms which the citizens should 100% be entitled to use
