UN re-imposes sanctions once lifted under nuclear deal sabotaged by West
The UN Security Council re-imposes sanctions once lifted under a 2015 nuclear deal, in a move triggered by European states unfoundedly maligning Iran’s nuclear program, while disregarding the West’s own role in undermining the accord.
The council restored the bans on Sunday at 0000 GMT. They will again freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals with the Islamic Republic and target the country’s defensive missile program.
The move came nearly two days after the United States and its allies predictably vetoed a draft resolution submitted by China and Russia on delaying the so-called “snapback” mechanism inside the deal that would return the bans.

Download Eden a Switch emulator as long as you can
**cross-posted from beehaw.org/post/22388618**
It's reported that the Google Play store entry of Eden emulator (a Switch emulator) is no longer available. We don't know the reason, but my educated guess is that Nintendo might have striked. I recommend to download current official clean builds and source code for backup, just in case you want to use it later.
- Homepage: eden-emu.dev/
- Downloads: github.com/eden-emulator/Relea…
- Source: git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden
I personally still use last official build of Yuzu, even today (playing Tears of the Kingdom). I never tried Eden, but it might be useful to archive it, so I do not need to download builds of others if I can't build it from source for any reason.
Here is a random article about this subject: androidauthority.com/play-stor…

i don't know if the current solution of sending a photo of a physical ID together with a selfie to facebook is any better in terms of control or privacy. while at the same time i believe more places will ask to ID you when a digital ID happens in a given country
and i don't think it's an "if" either. we do have reasons to ID people irl too and the more life happens online the more those reasons also appear online. the only thing to me that is realistic is to work to have those solutions implemented the right way with as little possibilities for surveillance as possible. otherwise we just keep sending selfies and pictures of IDs around forever

Police drone tracks Walmart theft suspect in real time
A California police department's drone program helped officers track down and arrest a suspected repeat shoplifter who attempted to flee on a stolen bicycle Tuesday morning and might otherwise have gotten away, officials said.
The incident happed at a Walmart in Clovis, California, where police were called just after 8 a.m. for a known shoplifting suspect. The department's "Drone First Responder" (DFR) program proved crucial in the arrest, officials said.
"The suspect at Walmart stole a bicycle from inside the store, which the staff thought he would, and he took off on that bike," Clovis Police Public Information Officer Ty Wood told ABC News Fresno station.
The suspect, identified by police as 19-year-old Sean Baker, was tracked by the drone as he crossed a nearby street. He now faces charges including shoplifting, possession of burglary tools and obstructing an officer, according to police.
The police spokesperson told ABC News that the department's DFR program currently operates two drones, which can cover more than 90% of community. The department has already ordered a third drone for next year, the spokesperson said.
"We realize that drones are not going to be taking the place of a law enforcement helicopter, but with a city our size, we can't afford a helicopter. These drone first responders are definitely a game changer," the spokesperson told ABC News.
The drones, which typically fly at 200 feet, are equipped with advanced camera systems.
"These cameras are fantastic," Wood told ABC30. "We have the ability to see license plates and get physical descriptions of suspects."
A key advantage of the program is the drones' ability to arrive at scenes before officers. The spokesperson said responding officers can view live drone footage from their patrol car computers while en route to calls.
The suspect "went behind other retail businesses and he would have been lost if it weren't for the drone," Wood told ABC30.
The department, which serves a community of over 129,000 residents, launched its drone program in 2020, according to the spokesperson. The initiative has since become an important part of the department's Real Time Information Center (RTIC), which combines various surveillance systems used for public safety.

This is why I think LLMs have made the world worse even if I don't buy the fear-mongering. Regardless of the costs to train LLMs, the costs of having those tools available are worse than the benefits. The amount of extra work bug bounty programs have had to do thanks to AI is crazy.
Come to think of it, there are black markets for selling computer security vulnerabilities between nation-states. Maybe our governments can start flooding those with AI generated security exploits. That'd be funny.
This was a really great read. The numbers don’t lie: 7 companies each independently invested 100 bn in AI and have seen little revenue in return (relatively speaking). When overlaying that on top of its impact on the us stock market as a whole, once the veil has been lifted that this is not leading to super intelligence, a bubble will burst and the entire economy will feel it.
That doesn't mean "nothing to see here, move on." It means that AI isn't the bow-wave of "impending superintelligence." Nor is it going to deliver "humanlike intelligence."It's a grab-bag of useful (sometimes very useful) tools that can sometimes make workers' lives better, when workers get to decide how and when they're used.
This is the part that is overlooked when discussing anti-ai hype: these tools are very useful, but they appear only useful to the skilled laborer wielding them, instead of the investor claim that they will be replaced.

I think I'm misunderstanding something about snapshots on fedora
Just installed fedora to replace windows 10. I've used mint and ubuntu as a general purpose os in the past but it's been a few years and I was never a power user, just learned what I needed as I went.
I remember it being important to use timeshift to safeguard against breaking something with updates, but it seems like timeshift doesn't work on fedora. Rather, you can get it to work on fedora but it's not supported. The thing that is confusing me is, searching for a way to do snapshots on fedora, I haven't really found what I expected? There's nothing I can see in software or flathub, timeshift or the alternatives mentioned on forums. I'm think I'm going to proceed with figuring out snapper using btrfs assistant as a gui...
But, given that I remember timeshift being basically recommended all the time to everyone when I used to use linux, I can't find anyone all that interested in using snapshots with fedora. Is it not necessary with fedora? Does fedora somehow handle that already? I can make do with the information I can find, but I'm wondering why there is so little information about it at all. I can't really find anything that suggests it's important to make snapshots. Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places? Can someone help me understand this better?

Cosa si cuce nel fediverso?
Ciao a tutti 😀
Condividere il progetto su cui si sta lavorando può essere un buon modo per infondere coraggio a chi voglia cimentarsi nell’arte del cucito.
È poco che cucio, ma la passione si è trasformata in lavoro in poco tempo pur non cancellando come fosse il mio mondo in bianco e nero, senza ago e filo nella macchina o nelle mani, il mondo prima di adesso.
‘Cucire’ era mia nonna che aggiungeva i polsini alle giacche ormai troppo corte.
‘Cucire’ era un’amica speciale che per regalo di nozze mi scriveva una lettera chiusa da una busta cucita a mano con la scritta ‘Auguri!’, ricamata sul cartoncino.
‘Cucire’ era la sarta della merceria del paese che trasformava i pantaloni lisi dei miei figli in panta-toppe.
‘Cucire’ era tante cose, ma non ero io.
Oggi condivido invece i progetti su cui sto lavorando: delle camice di seta con taglio a kimono. Ancora mi chiedo come io mi sia ritrovata qui. Ma mi sento a casa. Una casa cucita su misura.
E voi, in che progetto state mettendo le mani? Rattoppate? Ricamate? Cucite scarpe scucite? Cucite per sopravvivere?
Aspetto di leggervi

impressioni con le unghie smolecolate in parti incontabili (non mi so tagliare le unghie e faccio i casinetti)
Anche oggi è sabato, e quindi nuovamente non c’è nulla di interessante da dire qui. (Ma seriamente eh, non so perché i miei sabati sono così maledetti, solo in questo giorno sono così inispirata…) Per fortuna, di argomenti noiosi ne ho sempre qualcuno da parte, quindi per stavolta non soccomberò… magra consolazione. Beh, tra tante cose inutili mi stavo in realtà chiedendo come mai quando mi taglio le unghie devo fare sempre un grosso casino; e ok, forse questa sotto sotto è un po’ divertente. 💥In genere non ci penso, perché faccio direttamente tutto per terra; non nel senso che bacio il pavimento mentre mi taglio le unghie, ma semplicemente faccio cadere tutto per terra, perché è più comodo, perché non ho pezzi da raccogliere per buttare poi, semplicemente passo l’aspirapolvere e tanti saluti… che in effetti è un tipo di casino, ma non quello intrinseco che voglio dire in questo momento. Il vero casino, piuttosto, l’ho visto l’altra sera, perché essendo tardi non potevo aspirare ancora più tardi, e allora ho dovuto fare sulla scrivania, e… 🤪
Caspita, e questo è un casino. Perché fare il tagliamento in modo più o meno preciso con non più di un paio di colpi mi risulta sempre praticamente impossibile, e quindi a furia di fare si ottengono anche queste piccole briciole di unghia, a parte i pezzi grossi. E non sono per niente poche. Però mi chiedo se sia un problema mio, e in quel caso quindi non sarebbe altro che un problema di skill (ormai li colleziono quelli, non c’è un cazzo da fare!), o se la cosa è comune o quantomeno aspettata… anche perché non sono l’unica persona ad avere solo 2 mani in totale di cui solo 1 dominante, quindi potrei aspettarmi di non essere la sola ad avere difficoltà con il tagliare le unghie soprattutto (…ma non unicamente) sull’opposta. 😑Il colmo, però, a questo punto, è che, nonostante tutta questa fatica, comunque le unghie vengono indecenti alla fine, se non uso anche la limetta… E anche a questo ci ho pensato solo stavolta, perché stavolta avevo dimenticato di farlo, essendo che la limetta la tengo nel cassetto, e quindi avrei dovuto alzarmi dalla scrivania per prenderla subito dopo aver finito con le forbici, ma sul momento mi seccavo, e più tardi mi sono dimenticata; quindi, quando il giorno dopo mi sono risvegliata, ho realizzato per bene. 😵
Con la foto, anche se pochino, si vede… e un’unghia l’ho fatta lievemente concava al centro (non so neanche io come!), e un’altra unghia l’ho fatta poco più corta sulla destra rispetto alla sinistra, e così via, e che fastidio!!! Menomale che la limetta aggiusta… però… mentre anche questo non è chiaro se sia un problema mio o no, il dimenticare passaggi e finire a fare le cose a pezzi metà un giorno e metà un altro è certamente indicazione di skill mancanti. (Morirò con cotanto fregio, si vede.) 💖

Palestinian statehood: Recognition amidst erasure? (25min Vid)
After almost 2 years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Western powers have issued synchronised declarations recognising Palestinian statehood – a diplomatic move seemingly born out of the immense public pressure they face. What’s missing from the story is the concrete measures those governments could take to stop the slaughter in Gaza, as well as their complicity by continuing to supply weapons to Israel.

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.

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.
