What is plenary authority, the phrase that caused Stephen Miller to freeze up during CNN interview?


What is Plenary Authority?

Plenary authority refers to a single government official having absolute power on a particular matter.

According to Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute, in the U.S., it is recognised as “complete power over a particular area with no limitations”.

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.

In what ways would bridging messages from a proprietary app to a free one be more private?


Let's say I want to bridge from WhatsApp or telegram to Matrix, have I gaibed something in terms of privacy? In which case would it make sense? Public group chats? Direct chats?
in reply to dontblink

This comment section is.... something.

If you host the bridges yourself, it makes no difference to privacy.

It's simply convenient to have all chats in one place 🤷🏼‍♀️

in reply to dontblink

Using a bridge can sidestep telemetry that comes with official apps/clients. The services will also see a ping from your bridge server rather than, say, a direct ping from your mobile device. Make sure to self-host if you want to avoid introducing new parties to your communication stack.

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.

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.

15 drones spotted above Belgian military bases


15 suspicious drones were sighted over a Belgian military base in Elsenborn, on the border with Germany. The Defence Ministry is investigating the incident.
in reply to Sahwa

The base covers an area of 28km². It is an army training camp that includes a secure area in which shooting exercises take place.


Looks like no response, no interception were executed.



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)


in reply to Sahwa

1. People are angry

2. Complete weirdo gets elected President

3. He starts threatening judges who rule against him, urging his supporters to harass them

4. He starts suing newspapers and journalists, calling them fake news

5 Spews racist shit about black people eating pets and wanting to replace Tunisians

washingtonpost.com/world/2023/…

6. He said the opposition is the enemy from within, the opposition supports terrorism

7 . One night, he sends masked thugs to surround parliament and arrest the opposition

8. Dictatorship

Welcome to Tunisia.

Americans are at step 6. They just don't know it yet. They are deers in the headlights.

Bonfire Social 1.0rc3 release




A fediverse platform that lets you block whole topics, not just communities?


There should be a Fediverse platform that makes blocking entire topics as easy as blocking a tag, not subscribing/unsubscribing dozens of communities. Firefish (antennas) and PieFed let you follow/block keywords, but that’s not the same as robust, community-wide topic blocking. Imagine collaborative, booru-style tagging across posts so blocking a tag reliably removes all content using it. Does anyone know of software that already provides topic-level blocking out of the box without needing long manual lists?
in reply to Davy_Jones

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

Questa voce è stata modificata (3 settimane fa)
in reply to Davy_Jones

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.

[...]

in reply to CheeseNoodle

We shouldn't rely on any chatbot, of course, but I don't think that all chatbots are deliberately designed to spread some propaganda. The Chinese ones and many 'Western' bots certainly are, but not all are coded in bad faith imho.

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.”

in reply to geneva_convenience

There are very few politicians who have ended up disappointing me more gravely than Merkel has done - and only one other comes to mind (Biden) who has stuck to their demonstrably misguided beliefs so staunchly, even after leaving office.

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."

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)?

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.

[Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières] MSF denounces killing of 14th staff member in Gaza

Meanwhile, Britain's government and the police on Friday urged organizers of a planned pro-Palestinian protest in London this weekend to cancel or postpone the event.


Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestine people is driving up antisemitism world wide.

Good god. Are British police as bad as American cops now?

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.
