CHICAGO, Illinois — On September 16, 2025, Joe Botello, an Elgin, Illinois, man born in the United States, was zip-tied, questioned, and had his front doors shattered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. He was one of four men shown on a video released by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was present at the raid. Botello was let go later after showing proof of citizenship.“I’m just blessed that I’m still alive,” Botello said. “I’ve been hearing it and seeing it through social media. But it never crossed my mind that it was going to happen here at the house … where I live.”
The raid came amid escalating threats by U.S. president Donald Trump that he would target this city by sending in federal troops to “fight crime.” While troops have not yet been deployed, an immigration crackdown by ICE is already underway. “Operation Midway Blitz” began in early September, mostly in Chicago’s suburbs with large immigrant populations like Elgin.

How do you handle emulator controls when using a controller?
One thing I’ve run into as I’ve been playing some of my retro games is that, when using a controller with an Nvidia Shield + Moonlight or even with just a Steam Deck, the emulators often have a massive amount of controls that I can’t really interact with. All of the controls are hotkey based, for save states, loading states, etc.
Most of the games I’m wanting to play are controller based, but it feels like the tools to enjoy them are all keyboard based. Do you just use the built in save functionalities? How does it all work?

Thailand: Legal Committee Pushes for Immediate Halt to China’s Rare Earth Mining in Myanmar over cross-border pollution
Cross-posted from lemmy.sdf.org/post/43049861
Archived[...]
[Anuk Pitukthanin, Director of the Mekong Studies Centre] said the rare earth mining issue must be managed beyond local communities and treated as a regional concern.
Kanwee Suebsaeng, list MP for the Fair Party and deputy chair of the House committee [in Tahiland] said the House considered the Clean Air Bill yesterday, 25 September. One section deals with transboundary pollution. He asked the drafters how Thailand could bring civil action against foreign operators whose activities in neighbouring countries harm Thailand.
[...]
Zung Ting from the Kachin environmental network reported that conditions in Myanmar’s Kachin State have worsened over the past decade, and even more since the 2021 coup.
Kachin holds vast resources amid high global demand for rare earths to feed clean energy supply chains and stockpiles in the United States, the European Union and Japan. Mining sites are located in Kachin, with China playing a major role in extracting ore and adding value.
He said China focuses on processing to add value at home, while avoiding mining on its own soil due to severe environmental harm. Chinese policy shifted to limit domestic rare earth mining by Chinese firms, pushing operations into several areas of Myanmar. Activity rose sharply after 2015, then increased again after the 2021 coup.
[...]
The absence of control is alarming. Rare earth mining sites in Kachin have increased by more than 60 percent, with over 5,000 chemical ponds across about 400 mines. Similar mines and ponds have spread to Shan State. The impact falls heavily on local communities and indigenous peoples, with severe flooding every year. More countries are now moving into Myanmar to seek rare earth ores.
[...]
Pollution from these rare earth mines is now affecting Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai and reaches the Mekong. He urged all parties to learn from the disaster in Kachin and prevent further cross-border pollution.
[...]
Assoc Prof Dr Narumon Thabchumpon of the Faculty of Political Science, Chulalongkorn University, said political debates often get stuck on territorial limits. She proposed the no-harm principle. States must not cause serious harm to other states, and sovereignty comes with responsibility.
She urged ASEAN to table cross-border pollution from rare earth mining at the summit in November under the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution. She also called for talks on environmental and health security under RBC frameworks. Local authorities should be strengthened, with early warning systems and buffer zones put in place.

How Trump's new U.S. attorney got Comey indicted — by herself
Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan found herself going it alone before a grand jury that formally charged the former FBI director on Thursday night.
Lindsey Halligan, the new federal prosecutor hand-picked by Donald Trump to target his longtime foe James Comey, was all alone when she convinced a grand jury on Thursday to indict the former FBI director, according to two people with knowledge of the secret proceedings.
Halligan took over as U.S. attorney for the prestigious Eastern District of Virginia on Monday. Three days later, she found herself the lone representative of a 300-member office spearheading a case that her predecessor — and many of the assistant U.S. attorneys who report to her — considered too weak to bring charges.
Her singular role was extraordinary.
Rarely does a U.S. attorney in a large office lay out the potential charges to a grand jury, much less one three days on the job with no prosecutorial experience and no background working the case.

I should have known from the beginning that we(sterners) never intended to force Israel into accepting a two-states implementation.
I naively hoped that we wanted to enforce international law along the 1967 borders for a time, but we proved instead that we never intended to in the first place, and probably never will since Israel is an ally.
Yet our people still consider that we did something. The only thing our empty words and lack of plan aimed to do was to appease the global outrage, it worked.
Then, the last available alternative is wars, from the beginning it was always war, since neither the west nor Israel intend to let palestinians have a state. Or submit, or wait a more favorable time.
Let's fantasize that Israel ever wanted a two-states solution, then it could ask for Palestine's demilitarization, collaboration to chase down israelis enemies, a sincere acceptation from the current antizionist states(, including with a clear pro-zionist propaganda in these states), and could take written engagements that it will eternally support the palestinian demands towards euro-americans for a.n just/acceptable territory in exchange for Israel.
Claiming that peace with palestinians is impossible is a lie, they simply don't want to share the sacred lands. Netanyahu is the same as he was when he opposed the Oslo accords, his concerns for security are a pretext for grabbing more lands, and his bad-faith arguments and behavior are proofs of that.
I can only blindly hope that wars aren't the last alternative.
Again, i feel so stupid to have ever believed that we(sterners) intended to force Israel into accepting a two-states implementation, tsk.

Denna workshop kommer hållas på engelska om någon deltagare önskar det. / This workshop will be held in english if any participant requests so.
OBSERVE: Date might change - check in a couple of days again for a confirmation!

Are you tired of missing a demonstration because the algorithm only shows you rubbish? Are you worried that the organisations you follow need to censor what they write so that their accounts don't get shut down? Or maybe you refuse to use the big platforms, but find it difficult to know what's going on in town?
Sociala medier underifrån (social media from below) is a Gothenburg-based campaign by a few left-wing and queer organisations that want to help fill alternatives to the networks of the evil tech giants with life. The participating organisations will use the alternatives Mastodon and Mobilizon (which this website is based on), which are non-commercial social networks by and for us. In this workshop, we will talk about why we need these alternatives and show you how to use them in practice! No prior knowledge is required, we will learn step by step together! Feel free to bring a mobile phone or laptop if you can – then you can create an account right away.
We will take plenty of breaks and there will be food and snacks during the workshop. Pre-registration is not required, but it helps us estimate how much fika we need to prepare.
Please feel free to comment here or contact us at info@underifran.se if you have any questions!

Sociala medier underifrån är en Göteborgs-baserat kampanj av några vänster och queerorganisationer som vill hjälpa till att fylla alternativ till de onda techjätternas nätverk med liv. Organisationerna som deltar i kampanjen kommer använda alternativen mastodon och mobilizon (vilket denna webbsida baserar på), som är icke-kommersiella sociala nätverk av och för oss. I denna workshop pratar vi om varför vi behöver dessa alternativ och kommer praktiskt visa hur du kan använda dem! Ingen förkunskap krävs, vi tar allt tillsammans steg för steg! Ta gärna med en mobil eller laptop om du har möjlighet - så kan du direkt skaffa ett konto.
Vi kommer ta gott om pauser och det kommer finnas mat- och kakfika under workshoppen. Föranmälan krävs inte, men hjälper oss att uppskatta hur mycket fika vi behöver fixa. Denna workshop kommer vara hållas på engelska om någon av deltagarna önskar det, men vi hjälpas åt om språket ställer till.

Humanoid robots are only hyped because GenAI is hyped and GenAI is hyped because Altman and his other conmen are scamming the World out of resources on the promise of AGI because "Scale Is All You Need", a very convenient trope for VCs as they have no other idea beside dominating a market by scaling.
So... if the GenAI bubble does pop (and the HBR article on workslop lets me hope that it has started) then I don't see how humanoid robot would not. I also imagine manufacturers are less prone to hype because they have been robots already for decades. Even some services like hospitals do have robots for cleaning, delivery, etc. Sure they don't look humanoid but it's still a baseline to compare with in terms of performance and price.
Edit: if you want to explore the OSHW FLOSS side of this check github.com/huggingface/lerobot but my own understanding is that there is no radical progress. Sure we might be inching away at "solving" robotics but nothing changed except few components getting a bit cheaper thanks to smartphone then in turn drone or obviously GPUs.
Edit2: if you don't feel like reading the article just watch the 2 videos by Roland Johansson on normal hand vs hand without touch, it's fascinating.

What to Look for Before Buying a Small Business
Some business owners sell their business. The buyer who is planning to buy it must check some necessary details and can purchase it.
Starting your own business from scratch is different than buying an already running business and altering it. Buying a business involves plenty of processes, and everything should be done carefully. Before buying a small business, certain factors must be considered. All those factors are listed in this blog along with some special requirements. Continue to read and explore more.
Key Factors Behind Selling a Business
The reasons behind a business owner selling a business are numerous. Some of the factors include,
- The business owner might plan to retire.
- The funds from selling this business could help kick-start another idea.
- When the business sales go in a decreasing pattern.
- Sometimes, the business owner may shift to another location.
- If any disagreements occur with the business partners, the business owner may sell the business.
It is not certain that the business owners will sell their business in good condition. There will be some flaws and problems. Therefore, if you plan to purchase the business, consider the following factors, which are listed below.
1. No Undisclosed Issues: If the business has any undisclosed issues, then they must be resolved properly. When a buyer shows interest in buying the business, the first factor to be checked is the issues. If they buy the business with issues, then it may create a loss for them.
2. Business with Solid Brand Recognition: Some buyers check whether the business has a solid brand recognition in the market. Purchasing a well-recognized business minimizes future workload and marketing efforts.
3. Business is a Profitable One: The business that is going to be purchased by the buyers must not incur a loss. It must be a profitable one. Buying a business that is on a losing path is not a good decision because bringing it to a profitable path from loss is a strenuous process and takes a long time.
4. Build a Transferable Business: In some types of business, a large client base will be there for the business owner. If the business owner changes, then the clients will regret that business. So, while choosing a business to buy, check whether it is transferable or not.
5. Business Condition: Another factor to be considered before buying is whether the products used in the business are in good condition, whether the inventories can be used again, are the staff working there are skilled, etc. Also, the financial reports and sales patterns of the business must be identified. These are the factors that you must check in a business if you’re going to buy it.
The step-by-step process followed while purchasing the business is as follows.
- Initially, the buyer must do self-analysis. Whether they have the interest to run that business, the financial availability to make investments, etc.
- The next step is analyzing the business processes and their scope in the business market. It helps in understanding the sales performance, challenges in it, etc.
- Further, have a conversation with experts and accountants about the purchasing process and make the right decision.
- After taking effective decisions, approach the seller and check the condition of the business. Its work process, employee status, inventory condition, cash flow statements, etc., are the factors that must be checked.
- If a decision is taken to buy the business, negotiate with the seller and check for any legal issues. If everything is okay, then the business can be purchased.
Purchasing a business and developing it is a good choice, but its success depends on the already existing structure of the business. So, if you’re opting for purchasing a business, research clearly and choose wisely.

How to Play and Enjoy Slither io !
If you’ve ever found yourself with a few minutes to spare and a craving for something fun, fast, and slightly chaotic, you might want to check out Slither io. It’s a browser-based multiplayer game that combines the nostalgia of the classic Snake game with real-time online competition. Whether you’re just curious or hoping to grow the biggest snake on the board, this article will walk you through what the game is, how it works, and a few helpful tips to make your experience smoother.
Gameplay Overview
At its core, Slither io is simple: you control a snake, and your goal is to eat glowing pellets (orbs) to grow as long as possible while avoiding other players. All the snakes are controlled by other people playing at the same time, which means you’re not just trying to beat the game—you’re trying to outlast real players.
Controls
You can play on a computer or mobile device. On a computer, you use the mouse to steer your snake and the left-click to boost. On a touchscreen device, just drag your finger to control direction and double-tap to speed up. Boosting makes your snake move faster, but it costs some of your snake’s length.
The Objective
There is no “end” to the game. You keep going until your snake crashes into another player or the wall, at which point your snake explodes into glowing orbs, and it’s game over. Other players can then eat the orbs you leave behind. The goal is to grow as large as you can, earn a high score, and maybe even make it to the leaderboard.
How to Get Started
1. Visit the Website
To play, go to Slither io. No download or account is needed. Just choose a nickname, customize your snake’s appearance if you want, and click “Play.”
2. Customize Your Snake
You can choose different skins, colors, and designs. It’s a fun way to make your snake stand out in the crowd. Some players even use their national flags or team colors.
3. Start Small, Think Big
When your snake first spawns, it’s tiny. This can be frustrating at first, but the early game is about being cautious and collecting smaller orbs. It’s okay to hang around the edges of the map and avoid larger snakes until you’ve grown a bit.
Tips for Playing Better
While Slither io is easy to pick up, getting good at it takes a bit of practice and patience. Here are some beginner-friendly tips:
1. Play defensively at first
Don’t chase after other players too aggressively when you're small. Focus on collecting scattered orbs and staying away from danger zones, especially near the center of the map where action is constant.
2. Use boost wisely
Boosting is useful for escaping tricky situations or stealing orbs after a big snake dies, but overusing it will shorten your snake. Use it strategically.
3. Circle smaller snakes
Once you're long enough, you can trap smaller snakes by curling around them. Just be careful not to trap yourself in the process. It’s one of the most satisfying tactics in the game.
4. Follow the giants
Big snakes often cause chaos. When they die, they leave behind a feast of orbs. If you hang around safely near them, you might be able to swoop in and grab some of the leftovers.
5. Watch out for sudden movements
Other players can boost into your path and take you out instantly. Stay alert, especially when you're near a crowd.
6. Use the minimap
There's a small radar/map in the corner that shows your position. The center is usually the busiest area, while the edges are quieter and safer for beginners.
Why People Keep Coming Back
Part of the charm of Slither io is how fast and unpredictable each round can be. A game can last 10 seconds or 30 minutes—it all depends on how careful (or lucky) you are. And because you’re playing with real people, every session feels fresh.
There’s also something oddly relaxing about guiding your snake through glowing trails of orbs, even if you’re not aiming for a top score. It’s a nice balance of competition and casual fun.
Plus, the fact that you can jump in and out without logging in or saving progress makes it perfect for short breaks, study pauses, or moments when you just need to switch off and do something light.
Final Thoughts
Slither io isn’t about fancy graphics or deep storytelling. It’s about simple, instant fun that anyone can enjoy. Whether you're looking to kill a few minutes or test your reflexes against strangers across the world, it’s a game worth trying.
Just remember: everyone starts small, and part of the fun is figuring out your own play style. Some players go slow and steady, others dive straight into the action. There’s no single right way to play.
So, next time you find yourself bored or just in need of a mental break, head over to Slither io and give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe you’ll make it onto the leaderboard—or at least have a good laugh trying.

I just discovered this app. I know there are folks out there who think location tracking is the opposite of privacy but it's a nice security tool to keep track of your loved ones. I found this one thats fully end to end encrypted. I am currently in the works to migrate my family of 10 over. (This includes my grandparents who are less than tech savvy)
Just thought I would share in the event there was a father like me looking for a similar tool that doesn't sell your location data or breach your data.
