L’attacco di Trump a Lisa Monaco per colpire Microsoft: la posta in gioco è il cloud per Israele
Monaco è stata vice procuratrice generale sotto l’amministrazione Biden, e Trump l’ha accusata di essere “corrotta” e “una minaccia per la sicurezza nazionale”, sostenendo di averle revocato le autorizzazioni di sicurezza.
La strana coincidenza: la richiesta di licenziamento arriva in un momento delicato per Microsoft, che ha appena deciso di ridimensionare la cooperazione con l’esercito israeliano.
Il colosso tech avrebbe spento un servizio utilizzato dall’intelligence di Tel Aviv per operazioni di sorveglianza di massa sui civili palestinesi a Gaza.
Il ministero della Difesa Israeliano avrebbe utilizzato il servizio Cloud, Azure Israel Central, per archiviare milioni di telefonate effettuate dai palestinesi in Cisgiordania e a Gaza. Microsoft ha condotto un’indagine interna e trovato conferme.

Ex-Trump lawyer says president using Comey indictment to conceal being ‘criminal’
Ty Cobb, who managed Trump’s Mueller investigation response, said president is trying to ‘rewrite history’
The indictment of former FBI director James Comey is part of a concerted effort by Donald Trump to “rewrite history” in his favor, a former senior White House lawyer claimed on Sunday as he warned of more retribution to come for the president’s political opponents.
Ty Cobb, who defended Trump’s first administration during the Mueller investigation into his 2016 campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia, also told CBS that he doubted Comey would be convicted, if the case ever reached trial.
Trump’s moves, he said on the Sunday morning show Face the Nation, were “wholly unconstitutional [and] authoritarian” and an attempt to hoodwink future generations.

“RUST IS THE BEST PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE AND USING ANYTHING ELSE IN 2025 IS IRRESPONSIBLE!”
Depends on your instance and the community you're posting in.
For example, on lemmy.world a user might get warned or banned for openly celebrating the shooting of Brian Thompson. (I forget exactly where they draw the line, but it's an "advocating violence" thing)
Or here, a user on lemmy.ml might get banned for bigoted statements, even normal things that plenty of people don't even notice are bigoted because it's "common sense" in their own country.
But you've got to be pretty damn intolerable to get banned from more than a few instances.
The censorship has gone mad on Reddit. I was a user there before the whole Digg migration, and it's been such a wonderful ride. It had to end at some point, though.
I'm just at a point where it's genuinely impossible to have a conversation there without having your comments removed, the thread locked, or downvoted to oblivion for not joining in to whatever the masses are yapping about.
Less of a town square and more of a mob of idiots surrounded by bots.
The state is never progressive, it is always authoritarian.
Classless society can never form in a hierarchical system where a state wields supreme power over the people.
All states are authoritarian, yes, but the question is whose authority does the state represent, and against whom? In capitalism, that class is the bourgeoisie against the proletariat, in socialism that class is the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.
Classless society can only be formed by full collectivization of production across all of society. Breaking society up into petite bourgeois communes with unequal ownership of the whole total resources and production of humanity retains classes, even if it tries to eliminate hierarchy. Hierarchy is not itself a bad thing, tacticians and strategians play different but critical roles.
In a fully collectivized society, without class, there is no section of society needed to be especially oppressed. There is no longer an economic basis for a state, and as such it withers, as it has gradually to the extent it has collectivized production and distribution. It isn't abolished by the stroke of a pen or at the barrel of a gun.
I got banned for saying in a Captain America thread that I’d love to see a version of the classic Captain America comic book cover where Cap punches Trump intead of Hitler.
I was apparently inciting violence.
Praise the fediverse!
Rules for thee, not for me.
The Right can incite violence and engage in cruelty against their targets of oppression and opposition, consequence free, both online and offline. Meanwhile, the Left isn't even allowed to publically speak our thoughts and belief in numerous circles and places and even our supposed "allies" (aka, the average working class protester) typically push us down and suppress us because "violence is bad 🙁".
I said something mean about idiots riding unregistered/uninsured off-road bikes in and out of traffic (totally illegal in the UK) a few months back.
That got me banned.
I’ve been banned from a community on here before because I’m sure someone misread my comment.
My comment was clearly aligned with everyone else on the post, but I still got banned and mods did not respond to my messages about getting unbanned.
I got banned for "threatening violence" for joking that Ryan Routh should get some help aiming for the neck from Tyler James Robinson.

accounts still get banned for (at least for me) supporting Palestine.
my ban was due to a comment in a post about some zio settler going into a Palestinian field to remove a Palestinian flag from Palestinian territory, it was boobie trapped and the video showed him as a red mist.
I wrote a long paragraph about the danger of boobie traps and who they are war crimes. but also that zio has a absolutely no right to complain. Banned for supporting violence.
And in the end it wasn't even really anything I said as much as the autoflag got my ass for posting on a temp account in a sub that banned my main account. Caught a perma ban for all my accounts with that shit.
All because I originally said I hoped Elon overd*sed. (don't wanna be banned from here too so censor it is.) They're especially sensitive to that one in the Vancouver subreddit I guess for obvious reasons if you know about Vancouver.
I got banned for telling a legit Nazi to fuck himself up the ass with a cactus, no lube.
Banned for threatening violence and hate speech apparently.
Yeah, my initial main account ban was because I said "if you try to have a monkey as a pet, you deserve to be bitten by it" on a video of a guy who had a monkey ripping shit up in his apartment and that bites him on the hand at one point.
That apparently counts as inciting violence rather than y'know implying that people shouldn't own fucking monkeys which I felt was pretty clear given the context.
Evidently my angry sounding unban request was not well received.
Yeah, of course... spez hates discussion of supposedly committing violence by anyone from center to left.
It does not help that they're using AI-assisted profiling, information used by both mods and site admins to determine the number of strikes to ban users.
I've been banned from reddit hundreds of times, I have a bot that creates accounts, I say whatever I want, get banned, move to the next account.
Also, every time I get banned I make sure to file an appeal where I tell the admins to gargle my balls.
It's pretty fun community to be a part of 6/10
I absolutely adore how Reddit is convinced that an account has any sort of value attached to it.
When some Goebbels cock gobbling SSAdmin shadow banned my 18 year old account… I just made another, absolutely nothing of value was lost.
Because Reddit is a Nazi sympathizing shithole, all I’ll ever do is take and consume - I’ll buy your competitors products at an increased cost to me if I see you advertising on Reddit.
This is why you use AI to destroy AI.
After I was perma-banned, I used a bot to re-open my past posts and replace my original content with AI generated garbage.
Salt the fields upon which AI grows.
This place:
"I hate you and your dumb. Yay, my opinion is finally seen!"
I was banned for a while, saying that NATO countries should declare war on Russia and kill Putin. That was a political news Reddit, and the topic was about Russia's Shadow Fleets and sabotage operations. War, the consideration and advocation, is an inherently political thing.
Reddit would say that Churchill wanting to fight Nazi Germany is advocating for violence. While technically true, it misses the fact that sometimes words cannot broker peace nor civility.
I got a 3 day ban for suggesting the Jan 6ers should have been shot for being traitors.
Then got a 7 day ban for joking that a violent insurrection was needed in my own country.
I wouldn't have minded if I was banned for being a filthy hypocrite.
Someone decided to fake report me because of "C.P" (I didn't post anything merely mentioning it)
and they just didn't check my appeal
The "one thing" he said:
Edit: Kinda funny how He's flipping the bird backwards here though.
I helpfully added to the end of a comment, "If you see a Nazi, punch a Nazi", as a play on "If you see something, say something." That got me a one-week suspension. A couple of weeks later, I posted a link to a site that explains how many of the top corporations are owned and controlled, through stocks, by a small group of the same billionaires--they all sit on each other's boards and block outsiders from being elected. That got me a permanent suspension. I haven't been back.
This was on my account that is eight years old, and had over a million comment karma, and about 40,000 post karma. Fuck 'em.
Apparently some guy decided to report me for posting C.P (there wasn't a single person pic in my profile even) and reddit gave me the ban
and when I asked for the appeal they didn't even check it
Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.
All I'll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.
Because of that though, you'll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.
Cheers
not OP but for me, I was banned from /r/pics for criticizing Teslas or something. But the criticism was in a Tesla sub, so there was some cross cub BS happening there. And my criticism was factually correct. "They dont test their cars in rain or snow."
so im ok with that, and avoided posting or anything in /pics since its all BS and muted on my main account.
however, I swapped to an alt for some maintanence/engagement. and There was a post that came up i thought was from /oldschool cool, and made some comment about it (nothing related to tesla), just supporting the image.... turns out it was from /pics, and I got hit with ban evasion. and account loss.
So stupid, that reddit pushed subs that you are banned from, if you dont activly mute them.
so with that, reddit removed a 200k karma account over 15 years old. I moderated and contributed to some subs about a rare dissease, since that was my technical expertice in the real world, so its a loss to that community.
overall that community can rot, under bot led admins
Reddit is a shit corporation; the mods are arguably more shitty. They resort to shitty technology and IP bans to avoid having to pay for more admins.
It was news to me when just a few days after my account got banned, everyone living in my apartment's Reddit accounts also got banned for "ban evasion".
Sorry about your community. Maybe you can try recreating it here, although with less engagement
Yep my current account exists because when I got here, I said something that hurt a mod's feelings, and so they decided to ban me across multiple communities. In the mod log, they even say "I need to cool down now" so it's obvious it was an emotionally driven decision, but there was no reversing it.
So I couldn't post in LGBTQ, 196, and several others.
Don't hurt mod's feelings.
Those were all blahaj communities I'm guessing. Those guys are infamous for being soft or easily offended.
I've had an altercation or two with their mods as well.
I don’t know, lemmy’s equivalent of mods aren’t constantly taking Temu Hitlers cock out of their mouths to shut down any post that suggests that Nazis lives don’t matter, or the masked thugs tackling women holding children maybe aren’t entitled to keep all their blood in their bodies.
Reddit is on a mission to shut down any talk of violence or harm unless it’s from a right wing source, then it’s a-ok.
Except the “I think you should leave” subreddit mods - while every other sub was aggressively rolling out the “dead Nazi collaborator feelings protection squad”, that sub’s mods were dunking on a dead Nazi collaborator like they all should have been.
I have so many bans on Reddit.
I was banned from r/soapmaking for saying that people who buy soap made by other people, melt it, add perfume and trinkets, and pour it into moulds aren't making soap, they're doing arts and crafts. I raise the pigs, render the fat to make lard, and do the chemistry to turn it into soap. I make soap.
I was banned from r/canada for wondering if Danielle Smith was going to pay the lunatic street preecher charged with violating Covid restrictions a conjugal visit, after she made a fawning phone call to him while he was on trial, when he was convicted and sentenced to jail.
I was banned from r/Conservative for pointing out that the headlines that said that the DOJ had found massive voter fraud in Georgia was actually written by a Trump political appointee and contradicted the DOJ, the Republican Attorney General of the United States, the Republican Attorney General of Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia, and Republican election officials from Georgia.
I was banned from the Freedom Convoy sub for asking which constitutional rights had been taken away since the protesters had exercised their Section 2 rights to assemble, their Section 6 rights to cross interprovincial borders freely and that they were free to leave Canada if they could find any country that would take them and free to return if they quarantined, and that since none of them were vaccinated they had obviously exercised their Section 8 right not to receive the vaccine.

Trump Posts an Absolutely Bonkers AI Video in Which He Promotes a Magic ‘Med Bed’ That Can Cure Any Disease
Remember how the evil Dems were going to steal elections with AI videos? Instead, it's time to play Piss Off Your Own Dying Base With Empty Promises (batteries and oxygen not included).
President Donald Trump shared a bizarre AI video to social media in which he’s seen promoting “med beds” — a far-right conspiracy involving a magical bed that can supposedly heal any sickness.In a post to his Truth Social platform late Saturday night, Trump shared a phony, AI-generated Fox News clip — purportedly from Fox’s My View with Lara Trump — in which he’s seen rolling out this magic technology to hospitals nationwide. (UPDATE: Trump has now deleted the video.)
“Every American will soon receive their own medbed card,” AI Trump said. “With it, you’ll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world.”

We are already living in a privacy nightmare. Whether you film and then doxx folks with a smartphone, a camera you've hidden in your clothing, or one built into the frame of some spectacles really doesn't move the needle much any more. We're in the red already. The nightmarish data collection and then sharing is already baked into our internet experience.
And the people at large sit in a chair in a burning room that is this nightmare we're in, uttering "It's fine." It's been years since the Google glasshole debacle. People are so used now to other people just filming shit all the time. I think these glasses will end up just being tolerated. There won't be thousands around in your daily life, like smartphones. Society will acquiesce even in occasional perverts and intentional doxxers. The digital Overton window will move on.
What I can foresee is a more enforced no filming ban in certain areas, like restrooms and changing rooms. There could even be a technical solution that garbles recordings whether they are attempted or not.
Revisiting bsdiff as a tool for digital preservation
by @beet_keeper
I introduced bsdiff in a blog in 2014. bsdiff compares the differences between two files, e.g. broken_file_a and corrected_file_b and creates a patch that can be applied to broken_file_a to generate a byte-for-byte match for corrected_file_b.
On the face of it, in an archive, we probably only care about corrected_file_2 and so why would we care about a technology that patches a broken file?
In all of the use-cases we can imagine the primary reasons are cost savings and removing redundancy in file storage or transmission of digital information. In one very special case we can record the difference between broken_file_a and corrected_file_b and give users a totally objective method of recreating corrected_file_b from broken_file_a providing 100% verifiable proof of the migration pathway taken between the two files.

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6274710
A landless people and a peopleless land: these, it appears, are the aims of the Israeli government in Gaza. There are two means by which they are achieved. The first is the mass killing and expulsion of the Palestinians. The second is rendering the land uninhabitable. Alongside the crime of genocide, another great horror unfolds: ecocide.While the destruction of buildings and infrastructure in Gaza is visible in every video we see, less visible is the parallel destruction of ecosystems and means of subsistence. Before the 7 October atrocity that triggered the current assault on Gaza, about 40% of its land was farmed. Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged. That’s roughly 200 hectares – the only remaining area directly available to feed more than 2 million people.
Part of the reason is the systematic destruction of farmland by the Israeli military. Ground troops have demolished greenhouses; bulldozers have toppled orchards, ploughed out crops and crushed the soil; and planes have sprayed herbicides over the fields.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) justify these attacks by claiming that “Hamas often operates from within orchards, fields, and agricultural land.” And apparently from hospitals, schools, universities, industrial estates and any other resources on which the Palestinians depend. All the IDF needs to do in order to rationalise destruction is to suggest that Hamas has operated or might operate from the thing it wants to destroy. And if there’s no evidence – sorry, too late.
The IDF is steadily expanding the “buffer zone” along Gaza’s eastern border, which happens to contain much of the Strip’s agricultural land. As the human rights specialist Hamza Hamouchene points out, rather than “making the desert bloom” – a mainstay of Israeli state propaganda – it is turning fertile and productive land into desert.
The Israeli government has been felling Palestinians’ ancient olive trees for decades to deprive them of subsistence, demoralise them and break their connection with the land. Olives are both materially crucial, accounting for 14% of the Palestinian economy, and symbolically powerful: if there are no olive trees, there can be no olive branch. Israel’s scorched-earth policy, in conjunction with its blockade of food supplies, guarantees famine.
Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here
Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George MonbiotGeorge Monbiot (The Guardian)

Trump’s Golden Dome: Costly, Wasteful, With Contracts for Palantir
Largely freed of competition, Golden Dome task orders can go to favored Trump contractors, including high-tech billionaires who are his close allies.
The evidence accumulates that Golden Dome is going to be an enormously costly and extremely wasteful system. And, the contracting for high-tech work seems sure to go to Palantir. Palantir’s board chairman, the extremely well connected billionaire Peter Thiel, longtime Trump-backer and mentor of Vice President J.D. Vance.
In July, a letter by Senator Edward J. Markey and nine other Senators said:
“President Trump has said that Golden Dome would cost $175 billion and be ‘fully operational’ by 2029. But the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that it could cost as much as $542 billion to deploy a constellation of space-based interceptors (SBIs) designed to defeat one or two intercontinental ballistic missiles launched in a limited attack, such as by North Korea. Countering a possible Russian or Chinese attack involving hundreds of warheads would require a much larger, more technologically advanced, and more costly system. . . . Despite what could amount to a trillion dollar investment, Golden Dome would be all-too-easy to defeat.”
Earlier in September, the conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI), more cheerleader than critic of Trump’s, issued a report that the cost of Golden Dome could range as high as $3.6 trillion. AEI gave a range of possibilities, from that high figure for a system doing what President Trump asserts he wants Golden Dome to do, down to lower figures that while still far above Trump’s $175 billion, would have much more limited capabilities what he claims.
So now that the Administration is launched on procuring Golden Dome, the natural question is, who benefits? Some of the contracting may go to traditional defense contractors like Lockheed Martin. But, the new hallmark of the Trump administration has been the mutually beneficial cultivating of Silicon Valley billionaires. The beauty of Golden Dome is that it involves not just hardware from traditional contractors, but tech products from the Trump Administration’s closest new friends.

Please don't jump to conclusions. A well implemented eID can even improve privacy compared to the alternative of accessing big parts of the internet by trusting private companies to handle sensitive information like photos of physical IDs.
There is something in cryptography called Zero Knowledge Proof. With it only minimal information is exchanged and no party can tell anything about the person accessing it, i.e. the website who you are or profiling your ID, nor the verifier or issuer what you're doing.
Without knowing how the eID will be implemented, you can't just make such blanket statements. Want to know the details? It is open source and you can look up any technical details as well as the software code publicly.
swiyu - the Swiss Trust Infrastructure ecosystem
Organization for all public repositories of the swiyu Public Beta Trust Infrastructure - swiyu - the Swiss Trust Infrastructure ecosystemGitHub
That would be my biggest worry as well. Although this isn't specified yet, I assume that they would develop the software for Google/Apple. IIRC the Digitale Gesellschaft, a privacy advocacy group, has mentioned this as feedback about a year ago. I don't know what was done with that though. Other issues were included in the development plan though.
Also: With how this law is worded, no one is forced to use an eID. You can go the old fashioned way and e.g. go to the traffic office in person.
In most Web3 blockchains ZeroKnowledgeProof aren't proof. They often only have the succinctness of the proof and this is enough for the marketing team.
Also there is many things valuable in modern cryptography thanks to Bitcoin and other chains, blockchain and crypto are buzzwords for sure but that doesn't mean that i's 100% BS.
Deanonymization isn't about age gate bullshit, it's about doxxing you. Think of the children is and has always been BULLSHIT, children are the enemy, children are merely human shield and Israel shows what is to be done with human shields.
If an entity successfully deploys deanonymizing technology and profits, they will outbreed non-deanonymizing entities.
Therefore, anything that DARES to employs this technology is the enemy and the enemy is to be EXTERMINATED.
May I remind you that you were a child back in the day.
But yeah, it goes really bad when the govt. starts to replace the parent's duty for child's safety.
I remember, it was really terrible, we had severely regimented time schedules controlled by clocks and bell. We had to go there with hours-long bus rides. I remember watching the clock, watching every second tick while one person was talking to everyone about really profoundly boring things which they could not and would not articulate the relevance of beyond an immediate examination and far of idea of "the labout marketplace" in which we would all compete against one another to avoid homelessness and death. I could read on the computer at home about the things they were saying, it was obvious at the time this information would have no practical use whatsoever to anyone but I could not imagine an alternative so I kept going until they gave me some papers after 13 years of this. Of course now I understand why, we were doing appearance of productivity, as training for our future as obedient workers who would do what they were told. The subject of the matter was not the point, it was being moulded into docility. This is why there was no clarity as to what use the information lectured about would have. It only needed to appear to be productive and useful, it did not have to be relevant or interesting as we were a captive audience, fearful of this homelessness situation we would find ourselves in if we disobeyed. This was the social stalemate that kept us from being sent to the mines IMMEDIATELY, we were supposed to be grateful and happy that we didn't have to work in the field, picking rocks and vegetables in the field with the undocumented immigrants.
We were a captive audience, this is why it didn't have to be interesting, that was not the point, the teacher tried really hard, I could see it hurt them to be our jailors, they tried to make it fun, but we knew we were in prison even if we couldn't articulate it. The teaching prison guards had their empathy eventually dried out and shrivel, they tried spending their own money to make it tolerable for us and they were met with disinterested ungratefulness, no recognition from us nor the bosses. The cheerful colourful decorations of our jail cells somehow made things worse, like something was wrong with US for being unhappy with the situation.
Think of the children is and has always been BULLSHIT
hell yeah!

Let me stop you right there, how about no to that, and no to whatever EID is too.
And anything that does, fire, that's my solution ? Want EID ? Eat fire.
Our eID app (eDoklady) stores the data as passkeys, so you can easily selfhost something like Bitwarden if you want the digital representation of your ID stored with you.
And when it comes to verification on the website, it goes like this with ZKProofs:
if verification_app.status().is_ok() {
continue
}
the group that organized the referendum against the first version is actually supporting this one:
It is completly differently inplemented this second time.
It's limited by law to official services anyway. Your online shopping platform can't ask you for E-ID verification.
E-ID is one thing we got right this (the second) time, imo.

It's limited by law to official services anyway
Do you think this may change in the future? Because, change in such law is what potentially makes this predatory.
Such limit to this law is the best case scenario. And definitely something I'll support, but the chance it might extend further is what holds me and others away from this.
Some important context here is that Switzerland already has a national ID card system, this is an extension allowing people to use a digital version if they prefer.
I'm not saying that isn't going to be without its privacy concerns, but them narrowly voting that in is a far cry from, oh I don't know, the UK government forcing an entirely new scheme on people without a referendum.
Title generation and quote posts
renchap@oisaur.com 044f specifies the use of a link to the quoted post as fallback, hidden behind .quote-inline.
Right now Mastodon puts this top of post, and this interferes with title generation logic on NodeBB. Essentially the URL becomes the title, which is not ideal.
Any chance the class name could be upgraded to a MUST so I can code against it? Potentially other implementors could use different class names.
I didn't want to make it a MUST in the FEP because there are lots of reasons you may want to do the fallback differently (and we only include it if it's not already in the post: the URL could conceivably be part of the message)
as for Mastodon, there are technical reasons why we decided to put it on top, but Mastodon-inserted fallback will always use quote-inline. This is also consistent with what another implementation did (can't remember which one off the top of my head)

It's kind of a given that people are going to try to get patents for stupid things they obviously shouldn't. It's the whole job of the patent office to decline such requests. If people only ever applied for good and reasonable patents, then approval could be automatic. It's not, only because they need to filter out the bad ones.
The real problem here is that the patent was granted. It seems dumb to apply for it. But how dumb is it, if applications like this actually get approved?

Zelensky condemns 'vile' Russian strikes lasting 12 hours
A Russian aerial bombardment that lasted more than 12 hours has killed at least four people and injured at least 70 others in Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the deaths all occurred in the capital, Kyiv, where many of the projectiles were aimed, and the victims included a 12-year-old girl.
The barrage - involving nearly 600 drones and several dozen missiles aimed at seven regions of Ukraine - is one of the heaviest in recent months.
Zelensky warned that Ukraine would retaliate and said the "vile" attack showed Moscow "wants to continue fighting and killing". Russia said it struck military facilities and industrial enterprises supporting Ukraine's armed forces.

A 160-year-old campaign against civil rights heads to the supreme court
What did Reconstruction do for us, anyway?
Because the executive and legislature branches seem to have jumped the constitutional shark, some people continue to hold out hope that the judicial branch, with the supreme court at its apex, will offer a way out of this mess. That would be a mistake: like Congress, the Republican majority on the supreme court has lined up behind most of the president’s sweeping assertions of novel powers. The supreme court has blocked lower federal court rulings that had reined in the president’s authority to withhold federal medical research grants for ideological reasons. It has allowed the executive branch to deploy roving immigration patrols to engage in racial profiling; to expel noncitizens to countries on the brink of civil wars where they could face torture, trafficking or death; to fire non-regime friendly officials (in violation of federal law); to dismantle entire departments and more.But one specific case on the court’s docket for this term illustrates its role in a more far-reaching rightwing project that goes back all the way to the end of the civil war.
Louisiana v Callais is a major challenge to what remains of the Voting Rights of Act of 1965, and could radically rework the structure of political representation in the United States. A successful challenge to the VRA would allow the Republican party to further cheat democracy by engaging in even more partisan gerrymandering and erasing several legislative districts held by Democratic officials, many of whom are racial minorities.
Remember to call your rep... oh, right.

One of two things happened:
- They implemented it just now, and it's nice of them to ask
Or:
- They've been doing it for years, and now legal told them they need to ask
I've never personally used that one, but it gets recommended a lot.
I've been using DD-WRT for 15+ years, but that's for no particular reason other than It's what I found first and haven't had any reason to switch.
I used DD-WRT for 9 years and had no reason to switch until I was forced to. At some point after a firmware upgrade my routers began to occasionally lose their configurations after power failures. Months of troubleshooting, logging errors and recreating configs made no difference. I had been concerned for some time that the project seemed to rely on one guy, and although what he's doing is amazing, it is not possible for him to thoroughly test each firmware release. When one of my routers lost its config when I was 200 miles away and I lost alarm monitoring I was forced to make a change.
Open-WRT has been a really pleasant surprise. It's completely stable on the same routers and the feature set is unbelievably broad. The learning curve was a bitch though.
I was on DD-WRT back when WRT54G but the DD-WRT devs don't really get it,
They make the bad compromises, and most of their initial contributors appears to have moved on to OpenWRT.
At this point DD-WRT isn't just another alternative, it's very stale while OpenWRT is still evolving rapidly and has the larger contributor community. And they put as much emphasis on performance, bloat reduction and efficiency as they do new features.
I have a 8MB nvram TP link archer C7 and it's actually faster in the latest version, that's basically unheard of in all of software !
Well, TP Link have never been trustworthy. Cheap and trustworthy rarely exist together.
I have the best smart plugs I could acquire - Kasa brand. They're great adapters, but the moment their API call doesn't get a response from their servers, they restart themselves every ten minutes. We all have to make some sacrifices in the journey to net security and independence, and keeping their API unblocked is one of mine.
If anyone wants smart plugs for monitoring purposes the Kasa brand is operable without the TP-Link app. Tapo is far worse. Never go full Tapo.
Yup, bought a bunch of TP-Link mesh towers. Turns out that they take down the whole WiFi when the main node looses internet connection. That's just not acceptable, I might have an unstable internet connection but still want access to my local devices, such as my streaming server or router.
On that node, does anyone know of a brand of mesh towers that can survive unstable/no internet connections and don't use custom firmware? DD-WRT works just fine, but I'm not gonna flash custom firmware onto friends' devices.
I have kasa switches and everything is blocked on my firewall so they can't phone home.
Overall they function fine. But I have 1 pesky switch that is constantly in a disconnected state (red light) no matter what I do. Every time I reconnect it it disconnects not too long later. It functions fine though, possibly because its a 3 way and the paired switch is fine.
I have another set of 3 way switches that have disconnected a few times but reconnecting them works just fine for a long while (years).
So my questions are, that pesky red light switch sounds kind of like your situation. When you say they reset themselves, do the lights go red?
Secondly, yours reset every 10 minutes? Most of mine seem fine. I'm not sure what's different between our setups.
I haven't seen the lights go red, only off, then orange, then green if they were already on.
Of my KP105 and KP115 plugs, only one has misbehaved, only once when their server was unreachable. The main culprit is the Kasa 303 I think it's called? The 3-outlet adapter.
They are great devices! But I'm waiting for a Zigbee or Matter alternative with energy monitoring so these can be swapped out
Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip, 3-Outlets
With 3 independently controllable outlets and 2 USB ports. Just plug your appliances into the smart power strip and remotely turn them on and off from anywhere with the Kasa Smart app.www.tp-link.com
Gotcha. So with a few exceptions they overall seem perform well across the board.
Once upon a time I dreamed of switching them all out for something better, and was actually looking forward to Tapo with matter support.
But for my uses I'm basically pulling the plug. My switches are smart enough. I can do schedules, profiles, and control with the app.
I don't need more than that and there's not really a privacy focused option as far as I know. Blocking internet is my solution to keep things contained.
…a third-party services…
Now, what is it, one or many!?
tp link routers tend to run openwrt pretty well.
Of course, I have the TP-Link router that isn't well-supported 😖
I kind of miss my old Linksys routers, which officially supported third-party firmware.

i have always wondered how this works from the legal point. what if you disagree, should you sue to get your money back? you are buying product with some expectations, they can't just change that after you paid, can they?
it is similar with cars, what if you buy new car and the car's infotainment asks you to accept some outrageous terms and conditions, you do bother to actually read them and then decline. can you get your money back? has anyone ever tried?

aggregocttica moria senza soluzioni più spumose (l’Aggregoctt è morto e a fatica trovo alternative)
Settimane fa, o qualcosa del genere, mi era passato di mente il dover segnalare che l’Aggregoctt è fallito. Nel senso, funziona ancora — abbastanza a magia tra l’altro, devo dire, perché è assurdo che non si sia ancora rotto… cioè, in realtà è successo già tipo 2 volte, ma ogni volta ho potuto aggiustarlo senza fare cambiamenti radicali, il che è sorprendente — ma il problema è che, per come l’ho fatto, con questa roba del sito statico che deve compilarsi a partire da infiniti file HTML (ormai credo diverse centinaia di migliaia, al punto che GitHub si rifiuta di indicizzare la repo), prima o poi raggiungerà per forza un tetto pratico… e a quel punto fallirà davvero. 🥴Certo, potrei implementare la purga periodica di post vecchi, ma io che sono un’accumulatrice seriale mi sentirei proprio male… e poi, questa non è l’unica rogna. Infatti, per giunta, per quanto sia figo che funzioni interamente senza un server di hosting dinamico, aggiornandosi in automatico solo grazie alla CI gratuita di GitHub, un bel problemino che ho visto è che certi feed non si aggiornano lì sopra, perché il sito sfigato di turno sarà stato settato a minchia, con una protezione bot che blocca gli IP non-domestici pure per le richieste del feed… quindi, quella manciata di siti particolari non si aggiorna mai. 💔
Temo allora che la mia paura iniziale, cioè che l’Aggregoctt fatto con Jekyll e uno script Python vibe-codato rischiasse di essere solo un ripiego, si è confermata. In realtà, per chi è a posto con queste limitazioni, il template costruito fino ad ora rimane alquanto valido, e ancora consiglierei di forkarlo a chiunque vorrebbe farsi il proprio sito aggregatore (inserendo i propri URL nel file della lista) senza un server e senza grossi smanettamenti (anche se forse, per evitare che qualcuno si trovi in sorprendenti difficoltà, farei bene ad implementare quella maledetta purga, oltre a maggiori ottimizzazioni per il caricamento dei dati)… però io, avendo il serverino, potrei permettermi di più. 🙄
Problema: non c’è niente di ideale già fatto (altrimenti non avrei certamente speso tempo a creare l’Aggregoctt, avrei direttamente preso quel qualcosa e tanti saluti)… quindi dovrò vedere di fare io qualcosa e bla bla bla, mannaggia al mio tempo che scompare. Però, giusto per non cadere nella più totale disperazione (e in parte anche per assimilare passivamente idee di design simili alle mie ma lievemente diverse, per questo specifico tipo di applicazione), da qualche giorno sto provando un aggregatore trovato cercando nelle liste più improbabili di top aggregatori di feed selfhostabili: RSS. Si, il creatore — che stranamente non è uno scappato di casa, bensì è lo stesso che ha creato BookStack — lo ha veramente chiamato solo “RSS”, con la scusa che è un progetto a bassa manutenzione e creato principalmente per uso personale… vergognoso, ma lasciamo stare. 😕
Oh, sembrava bellino, e dopo averlo provato devo confermare che effettivamente lo è… ma allo stesso tempo ho percepito una puzza, quindi per ora l’ho messo sul mio classico dominio usa-e-ricicla di ; non si merita (per ora?) un dominio permanente. È simpatico, perché non ha login o permessi, e quindi replica bene la filosofia del primo Aggregoctt per cui il lettore personale funge anche da blogroll (cioè, una cosa del decennio scorso attraverso cui chi segue me può scoprire altre persone da seguire, potendo banalmente vedere una lista di chi seguo io… o, in certi casi non “seguo“, bensì “tengo d’occhio“, lieve differenza), e l’interfaccia è pulita e funzionale. Purtroppo è anche antipatico, visto che per funzionare richiede JavaScript moderno (zio pera, è una maledizione con tutti ‘sti cosi web), e quindi non si può usare sul Kindle (o anche, in generale dispositivi utili da riciclare per leggere, che però hanno browser web antichi); ma non ha neanche la modalità di lettura integrata, quindi comunque su Kindle e compagnia sarebbe un incubo da usare. (Ah e, edit: ho dimenticato di dirlo, la gestione di errori in questo coso è inesistente, e alcuni feed misteriosamente non caricano.) 😴Vabbè, alla fine il bilancio netto è comunque positivo, perché ora nel mondo esistono tecnicamente ben 2 Aggregoctti, e se non riesco a fare pace con tutto ciò prima o poi ne dovrà uscirà pure un terzo (e speriamo non di più, perché sennò veramente sarebbe la fine… cioè, la tragedia della mancanza di una fine, l’eterno ritorno dell’Aggregoctt)… Il fatto è che, a parte funzionalità improbabili che ora nemmeno vorrei ri-descrivere ma che sarebbe figo implementare, di piccole cose da poter fare per avere un’esperienza davvero epica ce ne sono a bizzeffe… come un’ottimizzazione per i feed dei social in modo che i post si vedano meglio rispetto agli articoli di blog classici, o un’ottimizzazione per i feed di YouTube per cui viene mostrato automaticamente l’embed per i video… ed è tutta roba semplice, ma, avendo il primo Aggregoctt le difficoltà che ho detto, più che spendere tempo a metterle lì farei bene a creare questa v3. (Aiutatemi!!!) 😽

I second this, particularly slskd, Navidrome and Beets for the server, Symfonium for the client. Lidarr and Tubifarry would be nice to grab new releases but it's not functioning very well.
Industry-wise, seriously just use Tidal, it's cheaper by way of better value. Tidal has had CD quality (24bit 44.1kHz, 1411kbps) as a base and 320kbps mp3 minimum since before Spotify started promising they'll add HiRes soon while offering 320kbps as a maximum.
The only reason someone would prefer Spotify is its partnership with three mainstream smart speaker brands, whereas Tidal is partnered with just one, Sonos. Bluesound too, but that's more niche

People love to pretend that somehow Russian leadership is completely separate from the Russian people, but it's quite frankly bullshit – "the Kremlin" isn't separate from the Russian people.
They've been known for their brutality and inhuman treatment of others for hundreds of years now; there's a reason why people in just about every country that borders Russia hate their guts.

Russia still labels itself a democracy, obviously it's been somewhat hard take their word for it given the anomalous approval ratings and the long standing history of corruption as well as the oligarchic roots that are still running through the country.
You're both right and wrong, the government is an extension of the citizens as to represent them. However, this government might not be representing them realistically anymore. So if you say the average person is responsible, that means they need to risk their and even their families safety and freedom. I think that's not fair, I don't know if I would be capable of this.
In conclusion (and because we know this from experience out of 1940s Germany) we need to burden them some responsibility for not revolting, but we can not punish them the same as government.
This excludes the specific perpetrators. If they have actual knowledge of the crimes, there is an argument to be made for moral implications from direct culpability and thus their actions underly a heightened level of criminalization and ethical scrutiny.
