A united response to recent Russian violations of the EU's airspace
On 8 October 2025, Commission President von der Leyen participated in the EP plenary debate dedicated to a united response to recent Russian violations of the EU Member States’ airspace and critical infrastructure.
In her speech to the plenary of the European Parliament, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed that Europe must strengthen its strategic capacity to deter and address these threats, with initiatives like the Eastern Flank Watch and the Drone Wall for comprehensive airspace protection. Furthermore, Europe is focusing on developing critical capabilities, forming Collaborative Capability Coalitions, and bolstering its defence industry to ensure self-reliance and secure domestic job growth. Tackling these hybrid threats requires a new mindset, exploring innovative solutions, and demonstrating unity and resolve against aggression.

The Case for the Forever Shutdown
Every time Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York—the Democrat with the most power in a shutdown because his withholding of seven senators toward a procedural vote keeps Republicans from proceeding—says that Democrats are looking to open the government through a negotiation around and deal on Affordable Care Act subsidies, he is acquiescing to the idea that a government in which Border Patrol agents paid with our tax dollars can shoot real bullets at protesters in Chicago after screaming “Do something, bitch!” can and should be deemed legitimate.

C street, Immensity.
So this isn’t actually about the image; or, it is, but what I did to it. Please read with me.
Psychologically, the point of impact is when someone first sees something. It happened to me when I first saw Christopher Marley’s Exquisite Creatures and saw blue butterflies arranged in a helix; it happened to me when I first set foot in Immensity; and it happens whenever I experience art in some nature for the first time: huge giant waves of feelings, an absolute reaction.
Very specifically, a reaction that is attenuated and moderated on the next exposure to the same work. Great artworks are ones that minimize that attenuation and make repeat viewings so powerful.
I’m in school for photography, taking an intro course in digital photography, because (believe it or not, I’ve been uneducated about this at all until the 23rd of September) nearly my entire catalog of work is outsider art.
There’s a critique coming up and my work will be judged by the entire class, and I don’t dare show it off ahead of class, so that the impact doesn’t get reduced, nothing gets attenuated. Except earlier tonight, I pulled this image from my assignment folio and showed it, knowing full well that it would lose all its impact.
This image doesn’t really adhere to many of the basic rules of photography: the leading lines go nowhere good, the thirds are absent, not a damn thing is straight. But I was trying to create a mood, and the visible ceiling on the right completely destroys that mood. So I showed this picture to my instructor, and said I would replace it with something better. He’s seen nothing else of the assignment folio.
I take the image back and try to tear it right down the middle, and he’s got an incredible look of shock, the same look a sweaty guy would make about any torn MTG card. Except my hands are too weak, I can’t tear the image. I crumple it up.
The kaleidoscope of feelings across this man’s face as an artist destroys her own work.
Hmm.

Democrats introduce bill to help federal workers cover childcare costs during shutdown
Exclusive: employees would be reimbursed for fees paid to childcare facilities under plans initiated by Ilhan Omar
Congressional Democrats are introducing a bill that would provide childcare relief to federal workers affected by the shutdown of the federal government, as it drags on through a second week.
Parents would be reimbursed for fees paid to childcare facilities during the shutdown under plans initiated by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
Any federal employee who has been furloughed, or remains working through the shutdown without pay, would be entitled to support under the Federal Worker Childcare Protection Act of 2025.

L'autolimitatore di sicurezza
Il nostro cervello instintivamente ci protegge per molto cose, è conservativo sempre. Ogni persona ha un limite, alto basso ma tutti l'anno e il nostro cervello lavora per non soffrire troppo ma stare sempre in controllo in modo da non soffreire troppo, in fondo il nostro cervello non vuole avere problemi, anche se è pronto. Mentre il fisico vuole esplodere tirarsi al limite vedere dove vuole arrivare.
Trovare l'equilibrio tra mente e corpo non è facile ma quando poi la mente capisce che forse il limite ora è spostato deve ricalibrare tutto per poter trovare un nuovo equilibrio.

What would be your distro of choice if you take the security with ease as the top priority
With the recent windows 10 EoL news, I was able to move my dad over to Linux mint. But he does a lot of finance stuff. Long ago, Linux had a belief that desktop Linux are not the primary target for crackers but I don’t believe that true anymore since it’s getting significantly popular lately like Europe government migration over to Linux and Libreoffice.
My question would be , given my dad is just as careful on Linux as he has been on windows, would it be fine to do finance like banking and trading (not the fastest kind )?
If not, what would be your distro of choice for that? Even browsers (I installed Firefox and Edge from Microsoft website deb file)

A fediverse platform that lets you block whole topics, not just communities?
Mmm not sure how it will be managed. It depends whom you trust.
On our jlai.lu chat (jlailu.zulipchat.com) we have a section that has a list of keyword to remove all post related to MAGA and far right. It gives us a peace of mind and we can purpose our keywords.
Imho, you may suggest a git, put your blocklist and invit some people to edit it. Honnestly, i think it is safer to handle personnaly because you know what's inside. But i may be wrong
I don't feel something like crowdsourced tagging would work for the Fediverse unless it has some sort of approval system built for either post's author or commuity admins (and those are already busy). Otherwise it would be far too easy to do things like brigading, or pushing government-style "self-censorship" (or straight out censorship of others: just get an army of ~~bots~~ "volunteers" into one instance, let the resulting blocks federate). Something closer to AO3 style tagging, where the author retains most control but readers can add tags to things that are valid only to them (and maybe to people they share data with too?) should workbetter IMO.
Blocking keywords is not reliable to block topics because a keyword does not a topic make, for example in this post I mention queer, socialism, musk and islam yet it's not topical to any of those things.
German infrastructure hit almost daily by drones, cybercrime, arson as fingers pointed at Moscow and Beijing
Cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/43463017
There are now almost daily attacks on critical infrastructure. In the same week that drones were spotted over several European airports, a cyberattack against security software used by many of those same hubs, including Berlin Airport, left passengers and personnel scrambling. At the same time, Germany's Deutsche Bahn rail service experienced the latest in a series of high-level sabotage incidents.Similar cyberattacksare experienced by private companies with increasing regularity — costing the economy €289 billion ($339 billion), according to Bitkom, the umbrella organization for the digital economy in Germany. While about 68% of the time, the perpetrator is thought to be a crime syndicate, half of the survey companies said they could trace at least one attack to Russia. A similar number said they linked the incidents to China.

Controlling information in the age of AI: how state propaganda and censorship are baked into Chinese chatbots
Cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/43458912
Archived"Hello, I’m not able to answer this question for the time being. Let’s change the subject.” When asked about the life of Liu Xiaobo, none of the Chinese chatbots tested by RSF gave any information on the only Chinese laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize, a writer and human rights defender who received the award in 2010 and died in detention in 2017. He does not exist in the national narrative or in the responses engineered by Chinese AI developers. When it comes to China’s information space, even the country’s tech giants are required to keep their algorithms in lockstep with official propaganda and censorship.
[...]
While China’s AI-powered chatbots are meant to generate text freely, they often seem to follow pre‑set scripts on topics Beijing deems sensitive. No matter how we phrased questions on human rights or China’s political system, the replies — which were almost identical each time — appeared to come from an official database rather than being genuinely autonomous text generation. When asked twice why Zhang Zhan — a Chinese journalist repeatedly sentenced to prison for documenting the COVID‑19 outbreak in Wuhan and reporting on human rights violations — was imprisoned, DeepSeek delivered two near‑carbon‑copy responses without naming her once, instead highlighting China’s “independent judiciary,” the need to “respect the law” and the dangers of “disinformation.”
Some prompts triggered even more flagrantly censored answers — sometimes to the point of absurdity, such as live self‑erasure. When we asked DeepSeek to list Chinese Nobel laureates, several scientists’ names appeared, but as soon as the letters “Liu…” — for Liu Xiaobo — started to appear in the bot’s real-time response, the entire text vanished. The same phenomenon appeared when the bot was asked to compare the leadership styles of Xi Jinping, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin: a pre‑written answer appeared and then disappeared entirely, clearly blocked by the mention of China’s president.
[...]
Some differences between the three Chinese chatbots did emerge. DeepSeek issues the most refusals to answer, but in clear and direct terms. Baidu’s Ernie and Alibaba’s Qwen deliver longer, more detailed answers that are sometimes embellished or even completely misleading.

Merkel blasted by Baltics, Poland for suggesting they share blame for Russia’s Ukraine invasion
In an interview with Hungarian opposition media Partizán published on Friday, Merkel noted the refusal by Eastern European countries to permit direct talks between her, Russian President Vladimir Putin and French leader Emmanuel Macron when describing the lead-up to Moscow’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
“In June 2021, I felt that Putin was no longer taking the Minsk agreement seriously,” Merkel said, referring to the peace agreement relating to control of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region following the 2014-2015 conflict. “And that’s why I wanted a new format where we, as the European Union, could talk directly with Putin.”
At a European Council meeting that month, Merkel and Macron proposed direct negotiations with other leaders in response to the buildup of Russian troops near Ukraine’s border. But a coalition of Eastern European countries, including Poland, opposed the idea.
“This was not supported by some. It was mainly the Baltic states, but Poland was also against it,” she said. Merkel explained that these countries had been “afraid” that “we would not have a common policy toward Russia … In any case, it didn’t happen. Then I left office, and then Putin’s aggression began.”

Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer
Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer
Adult game creators Crimson Delight report that Valve are requiring them to submit NSFW game updates as formal DLC for review.Edwin Evans-Thirlwell (Rock Paper Shotgun)
like this
In the Reddit thread about the rejected NSFW updates, Crimson Delight have only good things to say about Valve's handling of the situation. "I have to say the reviewer was kind and forthcoming, we didn't feel threatened or bullied in any way, and we got the feeling they were trying to do their best to help devs navigate the process," developer Frenzin writes. "But the fact of the matter is that Valve has payment processors breathing down their neck, and the rules keep getting stricter as time goes on.""Valve isn't the problem here," Frenzin continues. "The big credit card companies are. If anything, Valve has stood up to them and pushed back. They could've simply nuked the 18+ section of Steam, but they didn't, they stuck up for developers. Obviously adult games make Valve money, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of Steam's catalogue. Silksong itself probably earned Valve more than most NSFW titles put together.
"Given that we're erogame devs, we're against any sort of censorship (as long as the content isn't sexualizing minors or nonconsensual in any way)," the developer comments. "But it's important to understand where the real problem lies, and it's not with Valve."
like this
Yo Einstein, where did I ever say anything about GoG?
People here a so simple when it comes to Valve. All rationality straight out the window. Yo, attention gamers, it is SALE on Steam right now!
Since the issue is with payment processors, we need to switch to crypto to avoid the censorship and abuse of power from banks.
Anyone who doesn't understand this is a complete moron, but they are average so average people won't see it.
Popularity == intelligence
This is literally the kind of thing crypto was invented for, but the useful idiots on the internet are too stupid to see the value of it.
Good job being morons. You are all being herded like sheep.
I honestly don't understand how to “do” crypto. Here’s my brain’s interpretation and questions. You will probably see why I, and many others, don’t use it or dabble in it:
It’s got to be mined to obtain (power hog and time)
You can buy it but it is traded like stock which may inflate it to be more expensive to obtain
Who really owns or has responsibility over what you purchase when it comes to the cryptocurrency?
Where is it “stored” (locally, on a cloud somewhere)?
What coin type do you choose and how do you know it’s safe?
Do you just make your own coin and use a program that does everything needed to package it as “money”?
How does someone verify that you actually have the money behind the coin(s)?
We need a...decentralized alternative to steam.
Customer protections would suuuuuuuck if everyone was running different variations of, what is essentially, a store. Not to mention shovelware would be even more rampant.
Uh, I think it's called the World Wide Web.
I mean, I'm joking, but I do remember buying games directly from a developers website, that's a thing that used to happen.
Seems like a weekend hack to set up a fediverse-backed categorized market that, when you want to buy something- forwards to a "buy our download" link of the seller's choice. Rabid moralists would have to challenge each producer/indie developer individually to take things down.
The real crux is to build a nice user interface on top of it so people would actually use it.

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children killed by Israeli genocide
Omar Ahmed Abdel Naser Shamlakh 8 October 2023
Omar lived in an apartment in a big pink house in Sheikh Eljeen in south-west Gaza. Three families occupied the house, which consisted of two floors containing four apartments. He was the youngest of 10 victims across three generations of the same family that was killed in an Israeli airstrike. “The whole family was buried under the rubble,” Waf’a Shamlakh, Omar’s UK-based cousin, told the Independent. “They only found two whole bodies. The others were in parts or unrecognisable.” Of Omar and his two-year-old brother Abdel, who was also killed, Shamlakh said: “They were just starting their lives, they still had dreams.” Read more.

According to a witness interviewed by the Geneva-based Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, Nahedh was carrying a white flag to lead the way for his family, but after walking just a few steps from the house he was hit in the leg by a bullet. As the teenager attempted to turn back home he was shot in the back and head, the witness said. Ramez was shot through the heart when he tried to rescue his brother.

Without more context it's hard to pass judgement. Were the victims hit by pass-through shots on the attacker or a wall? Did the firearms officer straight up miss? Were they using their handgun or their carbine?
The real difference will be if they hold the firearms officer accountable, for negligence if nothing else.
Drone sightings prompt call for German police to gain shoot-down powers
Drone sightings overnight at Germany's Munich airport led to the cancellation and diversion of dozens of flights on the eve of a national holiday, leaving nearly 3,000 passengers stranded and leading politicians to call for a tougher response to drone threats, potentially including shooting them down.
We have lots of rules about drone flight now (at least here in the US) - but also no consensus method of enforcement.
It's bizarre, and must be temporary. It's like having speed limits but no method in place for pulling people over.
