So many climate solutions, so few emissions reductions. A new book explains why.
In The Long Heat, Wim Carton and Andreas Malm argue that capitalism has turned the climate crisis into a business opportunity.

I think you are right, but we also need to factor in that the west has been exporting its industrial production to other countries (cheaper labor, cheaper taxes etc). So it seems to be a tricky thing to see this by country.
The way I see things, it's more that the prevelant economic system dictates this kind of behavior, more than any one country. In the sense that the countries in power change, but they all follow some sort of capitalist model, which is also a form of neo-collonialism imo, at least when it comes from western countries . China is another story imo, that follows the economic model.
Indeed!

Breaking: humanitarian flotilla accuses Italy of 'undermining' its mission
"The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed us that the naval frigate shadowing our flotilla will soon issue a radio call, offering participants the “opportunity” to abandon ship and return to shore before reaching the so-called “critical zone.” Let us be absolutely clear: this is not protection. It is sabotage. It is an attempt to demoralize
and fracture a peaceful humanitarian mission that governments have failed to take on themselves, even though it is their silence and complicity that led to this point."
"This is cowardice dressed up as diplomacy. If Italy truly sought to protect lives, it would not be acting as Israel’s enabler, nor would it pressure civilians to retreat. It would use its naval fleet to ensure the safe passage of peaceful volunteers to Gaza, to enforce international law, and to deliver life-saving supplies. Anything less is complicity."

Russia has warned of the risk of a new nuclear arms race
The expiration of the START III Treaty in February 2026 threatens to completely eliminate the last restrictions on strategic arsenals, which could trigger a new arms race. Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed the current situation on the West's destructive actions, pointing to the deployment of American nuclear weapons in Germany, the expansion of the missile defense system, and the US withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty). In response to these threats, Russia, as Putin emphasized, was forced to lift its moratorium on the deployment of such missiles, demonstrating the testing of the latest Oreshnik complex.
Despite its willingness to act harshly, Russia has expressed its desire to avoid further escalation. V. Putin has proposed a temporary solution: within a year of the expiration of the New START Treaty, Moscow is willing to voluntarily comply with the treaty's quantitative restrictions. However, this step will depend on the actions of the United States. Ross

Forty percent of US voters think Israel is intentionally killing civilians in Gaza
Forty percent of registered US voters think Israel is intentionally killing civilians in its war on Gaza, according to a national poll published Tuesday.
When asked if Israel was taking enough precautions to avoid civilian casualties, 62 percent said they were not, with just 25 percent saying Israel was taking enough precautions.
More than half of registered US voters disapprove of Israel’s war, and 59 percent said they believe that Israel should stop its "military campaign" even if Hamas has not been fully "eliminated". Only 27 percent said the campaign should continue.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has bought access to a surveillance tool that is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data from hundreds of millions of mobile phones, according to ICE documents reviewed by 404 Media.The documents explicitly show that ICE is choosing this product over others offered by the contractor’s competitors because it gives ICE essentially an “all-in-one” tool for searching both masses of location data and information taken from social media. The documents also show that ICE is planning to once again use location data remotely harvested from peoples’ smartphones after previously saying it had stopped the practice.
Surveillance contractors around the world create massive datasets of phones’, and by extension people’s movements, and then sell access to the data to government agencies. In turn, U.S. agencies have used these tools without a warrant or court order.
“The Biden Administration shut down DHS’s location data purchases after an inspector general found that DHS had broken the law. Every American should be concerned that Trump's hand-picked security force is once again buying and using location data without a warrant,” Senator Ron Wyden told 404 Media in a statement.
💡
Do you know anything else about this contract or others? Do you work at Penlink or ICE? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.The ICE document is redacted but says a product made by a contractor called Penlink “leverages a proprietary data platform to compile, process, and validate billions of daily location signals from hundreds of millions of mobile devices, providing both forensic and predictive analytics.” The products the document is discussing are Tangles and Webloc.
Forbes previously reported that ICE spent more than $5 million on these products, including $2 million for Tangles specifically. Tangles and Webloc used to be run by an Israeli company called Cobwebs. Cobwebs joined Penlink in July 2023.
The new documents provide much more detail about the sort of location data ICE will now have access to, and why ICE chose to buy access to this vast dataset from Penlink specifically.
“Without an all-in-one tool that provides comprehensive web investigations capabilities and automated analysis of location-based data within specified geographic areas, intelligence teams face significant operational challenges,” the document reads. The agency said that the issue with other companies was that they required analysts to “manually collect and correlate data from fragmented sources,” which increased the chance of missing “connections between online behaviors and physical movements.”
A screenshot from the document.
ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted market research in May and June, according to the document. The document lists two other companies, Babel Street and Venntel, which also sell location data but which the agency decided not to partner with.404 Media and a group of other media outlets previously obtained detailed demonstration videos of Babel Street in action. They showed it was possible for users to track phones visiting and leaving abortion clinics, places of worship, and other sensitive locations. Venntel, meanwhile, was for some years a popular choice among U.S. government agencies looking to monitor the location of mobile phones. Its clients have included ICE, CBP, and the FBI. Its contracts with U.S. law enforcement have dried up in more recent years, with ICE closing out its work with the company in August, according to procurement records reviewed by 404 Media.
Companies that obtain mobile phone location data generally do it in two different ways. The first is through software development kits (SDKs) embedded in ordinary smartphone apps, like games or weather forecasters. These SDKs continuously gather a user’s granular location, transfer that to the data broker, and then sell that data onward or repackage it and sell access to government agencies.
The second is through real-time bidding (RTB). When an advert is about to be served to a mobile phone user, there is a near instantaneous, and invisible, bidding process in which different companies vie to have their advert placed in front of certain demographics. A side-effect is that this demographic data, including mobile phones’ location, can be harvested by surveillance firms. Sometimes spy companies buy ad tech companies out right to insert themselves into this data supply chain. We previously found at least thousands of apps were hijacked to provide location data in this way.
Penlink did not respond to a request for comment on how it gathers or sources its location data.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
Regardless, the documents say that “HSI INTEL requires Penlink's Tangles and Weblocas [sic] an integral part of their investigations mission.” Although HSI has historically been focused on criminal investigations, 90 percent of HSI have been diverted to carry out immigration enforcement, according to data published by the Cato Institute. Meaning it is unclear whether use of the data will be limited to criminal investigations or not.After this article was published, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told 404 Media in a statement “DHS is not going to confirm or deny law enforcement capabilities or methods. The fact of the matter is the media is more concerned with peddling narratives to demonize ICE agents who are keeping Americans safe than they are with reporting on the criminals who have victimized our communities.” This is a boilerplate statement that DHS has repeatedly provided 404 Media when asked about public documents detailing the agency’s surveillance capabilities, and which inaccurately attacks the media.
In 2020, The Wall Street Journal first revealed that ICE and CBP were using commercially smartphone location data to investigate various crimes and for border enforcement. I then found CBP had a $400,000 contract with a location data broker and that the data it bought access to was “global.” I also found a Muslim prayer app was selling location data to a data broker whose clients included U.S. military contractors.
In October 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General published a report that found ICE, CBP, and the Secret Service all broke the law when using location data harvested from phones. The oversight body found that those DHS components did not have sufficient policies and procedures in place to ensure that the location data was used appropriately. In one case, a CBP official used the technology to track the location of coworkers, the report said.
The report recommended that CBP stop its use of such data; CBP said at the time it did not intend to renew its contracts anyway. The Inspector General also recommended that ICE stop using such data until it obtained the necessary approvals. But ICE’s response in the report said it would continue to use the data. “CTD is an important mission contributor to the ICE investigative process as, in combination with other information and investigative methods, it can fill knowledge gaps and produce investigative leads that might otherwise remain hidden. Accordingly, continued use of CTD enables ICE HSI to successfully accomplish its law enforcement mission,” the response at the time said.
In January 2024, ICE said it had stopped the purchase of such “commercial telemetry data,” or CTD, which is how DHS refers to location data.
Update: this piece has been updated with a statement from DHS.

Goodwill Isn’t a Platform (thoughts on the Digg beta)
The new Digg feels a lot like the same ole’ Reddit. The mobile app is basically a clone, even down to the pointless “Trending” bar at the top.
There’s no API support yet, no plan for federation, and no guardrails to stop the slow slide into bloat (notice the Digg Daily AI podcast?) and ads we’ve all seen before.
Right now the only thing holding it together is the community, and the goodwill of Kevin Rose and the team. I respect them, but goodwill isn’t a plan.
Leadership changes. Platforms change. When money starts talking, users always pay the price.

Raspberry witbier
Regular infusion mash, light belgian style witbier bill. Perle, IBU about 15. Wild forest raspberries in secondary, 200g/L. Yeast BLG201, our own.
OG 1057, final does not make much sense because with berries, but it's 1008.
Very pronounced spices, hops, and raspberries, balanced! Apparently, berries accentuated the hops. Slightly tart, dangerously drinkable. Well carbonated naturally under a month.

So you just throw some berries in to secondary?
I will finally make my cherry beer next week (had a issue with strong ale so I didn't had free fermenter), so I am interested in the use of berries.
My plan is to put some in primary and then put few in each bottle, because I don't have the setup to bottle from keg.
Yes, it was fermented for a week or two before addition of berries, and about same time again on secondary. I do not use kegs at all, those are just glass jars with locks. Most simple gear. This gorgeous foam comes from just a bit of sugar priming on bottling.
Putting berries in primary is imo not very good approach: mostly because most of the flavor would bubble away, but also because there is somewhat higher contamination chance.
There is no chance anything would survive with fresh vigorous yeast and at high alcohol levels/low oxygen on secondary. I used to sanitize berries in my first attempts, but later found it to be unnecessary. I even boiled my first mead!
Sometimes I freeze berries though, but only to save them till beer is ready, or to promote conversion in cranberries or rowan.

Verdir sert à rien si personne n'a les moyen de vivre là!
Ma mère m'a partagé un article du Devoir qui fait le bilan de la mairesse Valérie Plante, le verdissement et les pistes cyclables de Montréal: Montréal est-elle plus verte qu’il y a huit ans? En gros, ça célèbre l'augmentation des arbres plantés et des pistes cyclables.
C'est vrai que c'est une belle amélioration. Mais l'article m'a aussi déçu. Alors j'ai répondu à ma mère, mais aussi aux journalistes. Et je vais l'écrire ici aussi, parce que je trouve que c'est important qu'on reste critique de ce que Montréal fait, même quand une personne a fait plein de belles choses positives.
C'est super de verdir
C'est super de verdir. Pour vrai. J'adore. Et c'est super d'avoir plus de pistes cyclables. Je ne faisais pas de vélo à Montréal avant l'arrivé du REV en ~2021. Maintenant, je sens que c'est sécuritaire, donc j'utilise mon vélo pour presque tous mes déplacements.
Sauf que...
Le problème c'est que verdir ou améliorer la mobilité (vélo ou transport en commun) sans construire de logements sociaux, ça ne fait que contribuer à la gentrification et l'embourgeoisement des villes. Ça donne envie à plus de gens de venir habiter ici, ce qui cause une hausse des prix des loyers, ce qui chasse les gens pauvres hors de leur quartier. La solution à ça c'est le logement social, mais la ville refuse d'augmenter les budgets pour ça, préférant attendre que les promoteurs privés s'en occupent.
Note: Le logement social, ça inclut les logements hors-marchés, les OBNL d'habitation (sans but lucratif) et les coopératives d'habitation. C'est pas des guettos de pauvres!
Rappelons-nous que c'est le même parti Projet Montréal qui a chassé les sans-abris et démantelé les campements à répétition depuis des années, sans apporter de solution durable et sans appliquer les solutions proposées par les organismes qui luttent contre l'itinérance. Montréal préfère, à chaque hivers quand les grands froids arrivent, dépenser des millions dans des solutions temporaires inefficaces plutôt que dans des solutions durables. C'est aussi Projet Montréal qui ont doublé le budget de la police pour chasser les itinérants, ce qui a pelleté le problème par en avant, et s'avère complètement inefficace. Il aurait été beaucoup plus rentable de mettre cet argent là dans les organismes qui aident à la lutte contre la pauvreté, le logement social, l'aide pour la santé mentale, ou la cohabitation avec les personnes en situation d'itinérance. Ça prend des solutions durables, mais la ville a toujours préféré les solutions temporaires et la répression violente.
Où trouver l'argent?
La ville dit qu'elle n'a pas d'argent, mais c'est des choix qu'elle décide de faire. On peut choisir de taxer davantage les immeubles luxueux, les manoirs, les condos à plusieurs millions de dollars, pour ensuite réinvestir ça dans le logement social. D'autres villes dans le monde l'ont fait. Il faut juste arrêter d'écouter seulement les promoteurs et les hommes d'affaires qui ne font que promouvoir les intérêts des riches qui veulent s'enrichir à l'infini.
Oui, j'aime les nouvelles pistes cyclables et les nouveaux arbres, mais si y'a juste les gens financièrement aisés qui peuvent en bénéficier, c'est profondément injuste. Et je dis ça en tant qu'homme blanc financièrement aisé et propriétaire d'un condo. Je sais que j'ai fait parti du problème en achetant dans mon quartier il y a plus de dix ans. Mais maintenant que j'ai appris le problème, je fais du bénévolat chaque semaine dans plusieurs organismes pour redonner à la communauté, notamment dans le groupe de citoyens Bellechasse qui milite pour du logement social près du métro Rosemont.
Dans environ 1 mois, on va aller voter aux élections municipales. C'est le temps d'aller voir ce que les candidats proposent. Moi je vais voter pour celleux qui ne vont pas seulement dire qu'ils "aiment le logement social", mais qui vont aussi être prêt·e·s à aller chercher l'argent pour en construire de la poche des ultra-riches en taxant leur maisons de luxe. Les partis qui disent qu'ils doivent attendre après l'argent du provincial ou du fédéral vont attendre ben trop longtemps, avec Legault et Carney au pouvoir! On n'a pas le temps d'attendre! Y'a une crise! Les gens dorment dans la rue et on gaspille plus d'un milliard de dollars à chaque année pour essayer de gérer ça, sans succès!
Et vous, est-ce qu'il y a des candidats audacieux dans votre ville? Ou si les candidats dorment au gaz?

Defending Anonymity
Nicholas: Once the system is in place you cannot go back. The ID card is an object that identifies you. You have to have it with you at all times. It makes police control much easier. If you can’t establish identity then they can take you to the police station without any other reason. Once they have the ID card in place then they can add other things- like biometric identification e.g. fingerprints. The base is the card and then they add things. The ID card is the beginning of a general file on everyone that regroups all other information they have to identify someone. They can have your whole life in this one file- your health, civil status etc.

FIDO Alliance, a NWO/New World Order org, has been working for years to put for a mandatory biometrics/digital ID login each and every time a person uses the internet on phone or PC. There have already been authorities wanting to close down or control crypto.
I agree, though, that metal coins will be used to trade: gold, silver, copper, maybe nickel, and not sure what else. They'll probably be made illegal, too, but will still be used.
I think we all need to find ways to work at least 5 to 10 hours off the books - a trade that is easier to hide. And, we need to start slowly to create black markets so that not only the bad guys are running black markets. Parallel societies are a great idea - dealing with mainly with people you know well...kind of like the Amish communities.

Kroah-Hartman explains Cyber Resilience Act for open source
As long as a project is not organized as a legal or commercial entity, the CRA requires only a basic "readme" with a security contact. There is no legal risk for individual contributors simply sharing code online or in publications, even when they receive payment for writing an article, as long as the software itself is not monetized or organized.[ ...] the CRA's focus is on commercial manufacturers and distributors. That means businesses that integrate open source code into EU products must fully comply with documentation, incident response, and lifecycle management requirements. This includes publishing Software Bills Of Materials (SBOMs), patching vulnerabilities within regulated timeframes, and responding proactively to security incident reports.
[...] manufacturers must act on vulnerabilities, even if the upstream maintainer does not fix the issue. Manufacturers selecting open source code for their products must understand the code, support it, and respond to regulatory reporting requirements. This may, Kroah-Hartman observed, increase pressure on companies to use actively supported open source projects or stick closer to mainstream, well-resourced communities."
[...] it's coming soon for companies. Manufacturers are going to care in September of next year. They're going to start panicking in the summer of next year, and things are going to start hitting the fan."
They'll want developers to shoulder the burden the CRA will place on them. But you don't have to do that. It's their problem, not yours as a programmer.
The overworked maintainers of Libxml2, ImageMagick, or contributors to such industry-wise important things as the real-time kernel patches, might enjoy to read this.
The important thing is: Change licenses to copyleft ones, such as GPLv3 or AGPL. By this way, industrial manufacturers are not only obliged to patch their stuff (via the EU CRA), but also, if they sell the result in a product, to re-contribute patches. Win-win!

I'm two days old in piracy (torrent) world
Also can anyone explain what are Leachs and trackers in simple words ? Also what is a magnet ?
like this
qBittorrent has an inbuilt torrent search function that can search multiple sites from inside the client. you should honestly never need to go to a website, download torrent files, or open magnet links, ever.
if you can host Jackett it really broadens your search options but isn't necessary.
if you decide to host Jackett think about also hosting qBittorrent at the same time since you're already setting up self hosting stuff it's not anymore difficult and the webUI is super convenient.
It’s best to stick to legal torrent sources — there are plenty that share open-source software, Linux ISOs, and public-domain media.
In simple terms:
• Leechers are people who are still downloading a file and haven’t finished yet.
• Seeders are the ones sharing the full file.
• Trackers help coordinate connections between seeders and leechers.
• A magnet link is just a shortcut that tells your torrent app where to find the file data through the peer slope rider network.

Regardless, it seems like every other day one or other is broken - I just use whichever is working at any given moment.

in reply to kairone • • •They are all valid, but most front ends are broken by Google.
I use often Andisearch where i search the video and where I can watch it in the search result, sandboxed and through random proxy, also using the SMplayer on desktop, entering the video URL-
Avoiding also that YT put any crap in my PC with the Portmaster

in reply to kairone • • •Since I only watch YouTube on desktop I use yewtu.be/ to search for content and redirector to redirect the requested video to https://www.youtube.com/embed/ or https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/. And I use uBlock and Improve Youtube, of course.
Edit: I also use FreshRSS to manage subscriptions.

in reply to snd • • •Yes, embed redirect was a good solution, also using an iFrame script, but this currently works only in few videos, in the most it got the error "watch video in YouTube·
It's almost a daily battle between YouTube, devs of adblockers and scripts and front-end instances, some solutions work for some days and on the next day YouTube begins to nag and block again.
What we need is an real alternative of YouTube, but that need time to create something with this hugh amount of contents which nothing else has.
Continue the battle against the crap, clickbaits and forced playlist pauses (well, there at least the extension still works for the moment), hoping the best.
Meanwhile Pluto TV, Bandcamp, channels from local public TV, Odysee, Rakuten TV, Internet Radio..... etc..for info, music, movies, docus.....

All of that plus a trusted VPN is a good start.

It will not only be private but it has sponsorblock.
