Italy’s Meloni says ICC complaint accuses her of Gaza genocide complicity


Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says she has been accused of “complicity in genocide” in a complaint lodged with the International Criminal Court (ICC) over Rome’s support for Israel as it bombards Gaza.

The complaint, dated October 1, was signed by some 50 people, including law professors, lawyers, and several public figures who accused Meloni and others of complicity by supplying arms to Israel, according to the AFP news agency.

“By supporting the Israeli government, particularly through the supply of lethal weapons, the Italian government has become complicit in the ongoing genocide and the extremely serious war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against the Palestinian people,” the authors of the court filing against the Italian leaders wrote.

rooting for the guys although I don't want none of them things. I run my device without a modem on (hopefully I disabled it correctly) and I want it to run like my other shit runs - I turn it on when I want it, no doing shit in the background nobody asked it to, syncing to the clown, none of that.

the results are awesome - I get like days of standby out of a severely degraded battery that can't manage a whole day under android. still, I understand that other people need this stuff. for me, SMS and calls utilizing the utterly broken, insecure, and definitely compromised telecom infra shouldn't be a thing in 2025.

Will there ever be an app ecosystem for Linux phones. I don't see how could happen. I'm talking actual apps like banking or payment systems. Institutional software such as government apps that requires a stable platform. Not a janky Linux system that is prone to breakage every few updates or scatter across different distros. Seems like the year of the linux desktop meme could end up morphing into the year of the linux phone.
in reply to OctopusNemeses

Why can't we just use banking websites? You don't need an app ecosystem for that. They just need to build a responsive website that will work on a computer or phone. If you have bank to bank transfer (like e-transfer in Canada) that can be done from the mobile website as well.

Payment like NFC payment is a different story. I suspect its unlikely we ever see that.

in reply to Hazematman

Exactly. And as I said in another comment, you can make a wrapper for it if their website is not the most mobile-friendly. Any browser can handle everything beneath the skin.
in reply to Hazematman

Banks sometimes need a 2FA app, this is what some people need "banking apps" for. The bank website itself is trivial to just use, but you need to be able to log in. In sweden, much of society, from fetching a post package to booking an appointment with a doctor or getting a bus ticket, relies on this 2FA app. You can barely function in society without this app.
in reply to pmk

I wish everyone would just switch to standard OTPs
in reply to pmk

It's unfortunate that sweden decided to lock 2FA behind proprietary smartphone apps.

For every country its going to be a different story. I think instead of trying to build an app ecosystem for things like bank apps on linux it would be easier for citizens of those countries to convince the government / banks to allow other 2FA methods like OTPs that can work on any a device using an OTP client. That would honestly benefit more people as whole since they wouldn't be lock down to just Android/Apple or even owning a smartphone. They could do all their important government/finance stuff just with a computer.

in reply to OctopusNemeses

Well, they all have standard web interfaces, and so many apps are merely wrappers for it or a rebuilt front-end. On a Linux device one would presume you’ll have a standard web browser so all you need really is a wrapper for the website and the browser engine handles all security. Is there any reason not to just go that route?

Do you think there are ethical uses of AI video generation in politics?


Obviously AI generated images and videos are already being used in politics, generally as far as I've seen by right wingers.

A thought I had would be to flip the table and generate AI videos of Trump attacking right wingers for being too far right, too racist, not supporting trans or LGBT+ rights, etc, in ways that are guised as old school conservative values. Like the "The govt shouldn't be interfering in a private citizen's healthcare choices" type stuff.

His supports seem the type already to believe AI videos are real, so do you think stuff like that would work or just circle in left wing groups and never take off among his worshipers? If they did spread, would they even be effective in triggering his base to push back towards the center?



ICE is detaining children with their families beyond limit set by federal judge


Immigration authorities are detaining hundreds of children for longer than the 20 days allowed by a federal judge, a Scripps News investigation has learned.

Scripps News obtained a document filed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement under a federal court order that shows more than 600 juveniles held in ICE custody at some point in July.

The children are being arrested and detained with their families while going through lengthy deportation proceedings. Many of the juveniles end up at the South Texas Family Residential Center, a sprawling site located in Dilley, Texas, that reopened in March.

The detention center is owned and operated by CoreCivic, a for-profit company contracting with ICE to hold immigrants.

LibreWolf wants to compete with Mullvad and Tor?


When I see people talking about LibreWolf, it’s always loved or hated.

People who hate it complain that it either requires too much configuration to be usable (because of the strict default settings) or that you should just use Mullvad (whether for real reasons or just better marketing about privacy).

People who love it (including me) see it as what Firefox should be: community‑driven and user‑first. However, I believe people using LibreWolf as their main browser (like me) does so only because they’ve tweaked the settings - allowing browsing‑history, password saving, manually adding cookie exceptions for sites they want to stay logged into, etc.

Out of the box, LibreWolf seems to be trying to compete with Mullvad and Tor as a hardcore privacy‑first browser (although letterboxing isn’t default). But can it really do that?
I’m not saying it can’t on a technical level (which I’m in no way qualified to judge), but Mullvad is a huge company and Tor is a very mature project. I’ve read a bunch of guides and watched people talking about privacy browsers, and I never saw anyone recommending LibreWolf over Mullvad or Tor when you want to browse sensitive content or use an online identity you don’t want easily linked to your main one.

Aren’t LibreWolf fans using it as their main daily‑use browser? From what I see (and I don’t know how aligned this is with the project itself or the rest of the user base), LibreWolf is an alternative to Chrome, Firefox, and especially Brave. It’s a truly community‑driven project focused on privacy, prioritizing the user, and not involved in shady business like Brave.

So, when I recommend LibreWolf to people, I suggest it as a substitute for Brave. Out of the box, though, it feels like it’s trying to be an alternative to Mullvad/Tor instead.

i suspect that librewolf will go the same way firefox does as the world switches to chromium/chrome based browsing.

doing so gives google more control of the web like using android gave it control over mobile developers.

in reply to PiraHxCx

LibreWolf is FireFox that is prehardened. I tell people how important that getting off chromium is for the open web. But regular Firefox has too much crap between the AI features and there are so many malicious websites that just need extra protection anyway.


Trump’s war on the left: Inside the plan to investigate liberal groups


WASHINGTON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.
The Trump administration plans to deploy America's counter-terrorism apparatus - including the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department - as well as the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department against certain left-wing groups it accuses of funding and organizing political violence, the officials said.
The effort marks an escalation in the administration's efforts to target domestic opponents, raising alarm among civil rights groups and Democratic leaders about the use of executive power.

Head of largest US bank warns of risk of American stock market crash


Jamie Dimon, who is the chair and chief executive of the giant Wall Street bank JPMorgan Chase, said he was “far more worried than others” about a serious market correction, which he predicted could come in the next six months to two years.

“I would give it a higher probability than I think is probably priced in the market and by others,” he told the BBC. “So if the market’s pricing in 10%, I would say it is more like 30%.”

Dimon added there were a “lot of things out there” creating an atmosphere of uncertainty, pointing to risks including the geopolitical environment, fiscal spending and the remilitarisation of the world.

“All these things cause a lot of issues that we don’t know how to answer,” he said. “So I say the level of uncertainty should be higher in most people’s minds than what I would call normal.”

The comments are the latest in a string of warnings that stock markets may be due a correction.



Marwan Barghouti secretly removed from prisoner list by Israel, source says


The Israeli prime minister's office unilaterally removed Marwan Barghouti's name from the prisoner exchange list at the last minute, endangering the Gaza ceasefire deal's implementation, a source close to the prominent Palestinian prisoner told Middle East Eye.

Barghouti, who is the most popular Palestinian political figure according to polls, was one of the most valuable names to potentially be traded for the 48 Israeli captives in Gaza.

A source close to Barghouti and his family told MEE that last night mediators including US envoy Steve Witkoff signed off on a prisoner list that included Barghouti.

World News reshared this.

in reply to IndustryStandard

For a moment I thought this time Bibi might be changing direction to play the peacemaker and hostage-returner. I wondee if Hamas would try to outflank him by releasing the hostages anyway so they can then use Israel's uncooperation against them. That would significantly increase the pressure on Israel externally and internally by killing a main piece of the victim narrative.
Questa voce è stata modificata (2 settimane fa)
in reply to Avid Amoeba

There is not really any card Hamas can play. Israel is allowed to genocide all Palestinians with full support of the West.

And Israel will gladly kill all the captives in Palestinian custody with full support of the Israeli public.

When faced with the West which has absolutely zero morals the dilemma becomes very tough.

in reply to IndustryStandard

If Israel doesn't care about killing the Israeli hostages, then the hostages do not serve as any leverage for Hamas. But they are used as an important piece for the machine manufacturing consent for the genocide. So that changes the calculus on keeping them hostage I think. I think you're right that Israel would gladly kill 'em. So releasing them could throw a significant wrench into the machine I think. Discontent in Europe is growing and Israel can be significantly harmed economically should the EU take action. Doesn't that make some sense?
in reply to Avid Amoeba

I think they already have killed hostages (Israelis). I'm pretty sure it's literally something they openly do.

in reply to prole

I'm not disputing that. In fact I'm taking it as a given and reasoning towards the implications.
in reply to Avid Amoeba

Israel has proven to be the leader of Europe and America fully in control of their politicians. The amount of discontent of the public is irrelevant and is ignored. Likewise they own the Western media which will gladly publish any angle Israel wishes. So there is no counting on the West to do anything except send more weapons and money to Israel. Hamas likely hoped that there was a semblance of humanity in the West to pressure Israel but that does not exist.
in reply to IndustryStandard

Hostages situation in the bank? Let's bomb the bank for 2 years! I'm smart. I'm israeli.


US anti-fascism expert blocked from flying to Spain at airport-“‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second,”


A Rutgers University professor who taught a course on anti-fascism was blocked from leaving the US for Spain on Wednesday night, according to media reports, hours after Donald Trump hosted a White House roundtable highlighting the impact of antifa – or “anti-fascist” – far-left activists.

Mark Bray, an historian who published the 2017 book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, and has taught courses on anti-fascism at the New Jersey university, was attempting to board a plane at Newark airport bound for Europe when he was informed at the boarding gate that the reservations for him and his family had been cancelled.

The professor had said he was moving to Europe after receiving death threats.

“‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second,” Bray posted on Bluesky social media. “We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’”



FreeTube + Customized MPV: Guide to a Temporary Solution


Introduction


So, FreeTube is broken and you want to watch YouTube on your desktop without using the YouTube site or embed. If you have mpv installed and want to use that, this guide is for you.

Note: This guide does NOT work with the Flatpak version of FreeTube!

Getting YT Links to open in MPV


First, we need to set MPV as a video player in FreeTube. Since FreeTube has support for external players, this is what we will use.

  1. Open Settings
  2. Under External Player, select mpv from the dropdown list.

Below the dropdown is Custom External Player Arguments. Here are the recommended ones I use:
- --fs: Automatically opens the video in fullscreen.
- --ytdl-raw-options=format="(bestvideo[height<=X]+bestaudio/best)": Gets the best audio and best video and combines them. Video resolution is no larger than X. Example resolutions include 720, 1080, 1440, 2160. I personally use 720, but you use whatever your bandwith allows.

Install Recommended MPV plugins


By itself, mpv is pretty barebones. It's missing a few features that FreeTube has, such as sponsorblock or media controls. Below are the following plugins that solve these issues. I won't include the install directions for these as these will differ for each distro, but the main installation point should be either ~/.config/mpv/scripts (Current User) or /usr/share/mpv/scripts (All Users).

mpv-sponsorblock: github.com/TheCactusVert/mpv-s…


This Rust implementation of sponsorblock works well with MPV. A few things to note:
1. Segments do not display on the timeline. However, automatic skipping does work.
2. To edit what type of segments are skipped, follow the Configuration section in the repo, and edit your sponsorblock.toml file in ~/.config/mpv.

Here is what I personally use:

# Categories: sponsor, selfpromo, interaction, poi_highlight, intro, outro, preview, music_offtopic, filler, exclusive_access
categories = ["sponsor", "interaction", "music_offtopic"]
# Action types: skip, mute, poi, full
action_types = ["skip", "skip", "skip"]
mpv-mpris: github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris


This plugin displays media controls for MPV on KDE Plasma and GNOME. By default, MPV lacks the MPRIS D-Bus interface used by programs such as playerctl to provide media controls and information.
- mpv-mpris has a package in the Arch repos (Extra). Note that this will install to /usr/share/mpv/scripts instead.

Setup Recommended Keyboard Shortcuts


MPV is looking pretty good now, however there are some small tweaks we can make to the default keyboard shortcuts. My main gripe with mpv is the UP/DOWN arrows are set to seek 1 minute and * and / (Numpad) control volume. Let's fix that.

  1. Copy the default input.conf file for mpv to ~/.config/mpv. This file should be located in /usr/share/doc/mpv, but depending on how you install mpv, this may differ.
    $ cp /usr/share/doc/mpv/input.conf ~/.config/mpv
  2. Edit this file with your preferred text editor and add the following to the end:
    UP    add volume  2                         # Increase volume by 2%
    DOWN  add volume -2                         # Decrease volume by 2%

This will rebind your UP/DOWN arrow keys to volume controls. Change the value to whatever your want. If you want to match FreeTube's volume controls, set the values to 5 and -5.

Some additional shortcuts to know about for MPV:


  • i: Show debug info (Similar to View Stats in YT)
  • o: Show current video progress
  • Menu: Show the menu key. Useful for accessing playlist menu.
    • Usually the Square with 3 horizontal lines in the middle.
    • Some keyboards lack this button.


  • [: Decrease video speed by 10%
    • Use Shift to decrease by 50%


  • ]: Increase video speed by 10%
    • Use Shift to increase by 50%


  • Backspace: Reset video speed to 100%
  • m: Mute audio
  • Page Up: Go to next chapter
  • Page Down: Go to previous chapter
  • q: Quit MPV
  • >/Enter: Play next video in playlist
  • <: Play previous video in playlist
    • For these two, you need to press and hold Shift with them. The exception is Enter.



Wrap-Up


And thats the setup. I hope you enjoy this temporary setup until FreeTube gets fixed. It takes some time to setup, but once it is, you can use it anywhere. You can even use it with just yt-dlp if you want.

This guide might work with Celluloid. I personally don't use it, but you can try if you want to.

If there are any issues with this guide, let me know!___

EDIT: Added Flatpak FreeTube warning

EDIT 2: Updated debug keybind. D was for interlace, not debug.

Watching videos has been broken for a few weeks. On the 24th of Sep they mentioned that they'd identified a potential cause, but since then there haven't been any updates. They typically aren't super communicative and tend to lock down posts because of the huge surge of duplicate bug reports and unhelpful comments they get whenever this happens. So the silence is not that unusual, but it has been slightly longer than usual for an update.
in reply to MoonMelon

Might be something with upstream? Just speculation on my part. Wish they would post some type of update.


Looking for a new place...


I used to use gaytorrents. They have the content and forums and it’s a nice little community. However, it’s suspicious they aren’t trying to prepare for the censorship hitting all other adult sites. They flat out stated in the forums they will not adopt i2p or tor or any other darknet and will start using age verification/start banning IP ranges when requested. If we don’t like it, we are told to just use a VPN.

This is an incredibly dumb response.

So I need to plan my migration away while there is still enough open conversation to discover new places. My state already bans porn unless we hand over our IDs to be handled irresponsibly/given to identity thieves/added to a list of undesirable people they want to toss into a gas chamber.

Under this regime, I’m not giving that out. Fuck them.

So where can I go now?

in reply to technocrit

A VPN doesn’t solve the problem. I would be paying for a stall at best, and one that has no way of knowing for sure they don’t keep logs or aren’t compromised. Look at what happened with Ovano back when Facebook bought them then lied about it.
in reply to muusemuuse

Some VPNs have a long record of doing their best not to collect any data and have audits from reputable cybersecurity companies. Examples are Mullvad VPN, IVPN , ProtonVPN , AirVPN.

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses


Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's attack on ICE-spotting apps.


Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses


Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called Eyes Up, differs from other banned apps such as ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities. Eyes Up, meanwhile, was more of an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court.

The news shows that Apple and Google’s crackdown on ICE-spotting apps, which started after pressure from the Department of Justice against Apple, is broader in scope than apps that report sightings of ICE officials. It has also impacted at least one app that was more about creating a historical record of ICE’s activity during its mass deportation effort.

“Our goal is government accountability, we aren’t even doing real-time tracking,” the administrator of Eyes Up, who said their name was Mark, told 404 Media. Mark asked 404 Media to only use his first name to protect him from retaliation. “I think the [Trump] admin is just embarrassed by how many incriminating videos we have.”

💡
Do you work at Apple or Google and know anything else about these app removals? 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.

Mark said the app was removed on October 3. At the time of writing, the Apple App Store says “This app is currently not available in your country or region” when trying to download Eyes Up.

The website for Eyes Up which functions essentially the same way is still available. The site includes a map with dots that visitors can click on, which then plays a video from that location. Users are able to submit their own videos for inclusion. Mark said he manually reviews every video before it is uploaded to the service, to check its content and its location.

“I personally look at each submission to ensure that it's relevant, accurately described to the best I can tell, and appropriate to post. I actually look at the user submitted location and usually cross-reference with [Google] Street View to verify. We have an entire private app just for moderation of the submissions,” Mark said.



Screenshots of Eyes Up.

The videos available on Eyes Up are essentially the same you might see when scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, or X. They are a mix of professional media reports and user-generated clips of ICE arrests. Many of the videos are clearly just re-uploads of material taken from those social media apps, and still include TikTok or Instagram watermarks. Mark said the videos are also often taken from Reddit or the community- and crime-awareness app Citizen too.

Many of the videos from New York are footage of ICE officials aggressively detaining people inside the city’s courts, something ICE has been doing for months. Another is a video from the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), which represents more than 200 immigrant and refugee rights groups. Another is an Instagram video showing ICE taking “a mother as her child begs the officers not to take her,” according to a caption on the video. The map includes similar videos from San Diego, Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon, which are clearly taken from TikTok or media reports, including NBC News.

“Our goal is to preserve evidence until it can be used in court, and we believe the mapping function will make it easier for litigants to find bystander footage in the future,” Mark said.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, told 404 Media “Like any other government agency, DHS is required to follow the law. The collection of video evidence is a powerful tool of oversight to ensure that the government respects the rights of citizens and immigrants alike. People have a right to film interactions with law enforcement in public spaces and to share those videos with others.”

“If DHS is concerned that the actions of their own officers might inflame public opinion against the agency, they should work to increase oversight and accountability at the agency — rather than seek to have the evidence banned,” he added.

Apple removed ICEBlock, another much more prominent app, on Thursday from its App Store. The move came after direct pressure from Department of Justice officials acting at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to Fox. A statement the Department of Justice provided to 404 Media said the agency reached out to Apple “demanding they remove the ICEBlock app from their App Store—and Apple did so.” Fox says authorities have claimed that Joshua Jahn, the suspected shooter of an ICE facility in September in which a detainee was killed, searched his phone for various tracking apps before attacking the facility.

Joshua Aaron, the developer of ICEBlock, told 404 Media “we are determined to fight this.”

ICEBlock allowed people to create an alert, based on their location, about ICE officials in their area. This then sent an alert to other users nearby.

Apple also removed another similar app called Red Dot, 404 Media reported. Google did the same thing, and described ICE officials as a vulnerable group. Apple also removed an app called DeICER.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
Yet, Eyes Up differs from those apps in that it does not function as a real-time location reporting app.

Apple did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday about Eyes Up’s removal.

Mark provided 404 Media with screenshots of the emails he received from Apple. In the emails, Apple says Eyes Up violates the company’s guidelines around objectionable content. That can include “Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or harm a targeted individual or group. Professional political satirists and humorists are generally exempt from this requirement.”

The emails also say that law enforcement have provided Apple with information that shows the purpose of the app is “to provide location information about law enforcement officers that can be used to harm such officers individually or as a group.”

The emails are essentially identical to those sent to the developer of ICEBlock which 404 Media previously reported on.

In an appeal to the app removal, Mark told Apple “the posts on this app are significantly delayed and subject to manual review, meaning the officers will be long gone from the location by the time the content is posted to be viewed by the public. This would make it impossible for our app to be used to harm such officers individually or as a group.”

“The sole purpose of Eyes Up is to document and preserve evidence of abuses of power by law enforcement, which is an important function of a free society and constitutionally protected,” Mark’s response adds.

Apple then replied and said the ban remains in place, according to another email Mark shared.

The app is available on Google's Play Store.

Update: this piece has been updated to include comment from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick.


in reply to technocrit

Why can’t this be a web app that uses web notifications? Why does it even need to be an on-device app? That’s building in a vulnerability that doesn’t need to be there.

Make it a site.
Go to the site.
Pin the site.
Allow notifications from site.
Done.

Yes, Apple and Google are in the wrong, but why are we relying on them for this at all? Not everything needs to be a fucking app.

in reply to Dr. Moose

This isn’t a tech illiteracy issue. Sure you CAN take a video, and upload it to archive.org from your phone.

Try doing that while actively being abused by ICE.

It’s about making the process as foolproof as possible, because seconds matter here, and making sure that footage is backed up as quickly as possible is paramount.

Nope, you’re conflating tech illiteracy with failing to meet the needs of the use case. Hope that helps!

Stuff like this is why Google wants to restrict sideloading to "verified developers" only.
Even if an app like this isn't distributed through Google Play, they could disable the developer's account for any vague "abuse" reason.

Marwan Barghouti secretly removed from prisoner list by Israel, source says


The Israeli prime minister's office unilaterally removed Marwan Barghouti's name from the prisoner exchange list at the last minute, endangering the Gaza ceasefire deal's implementation, a source close to the prominent Palestinian prisoner told Middle East Eye.

Barghouti, who is the most popular Palestinian political figure according to polls, was one of the most valuable names to potentially be traded for the 48 Israeli captives in Gaza.

A source close to Barghouti and his family told MEE that last night mediators including US envoy Steve Witkoff signed off on a prisoner list that included Barghouti.




Poll: Katie Porter leads California governor’s race, boosted by former Kamala Harris supporters


I had no idea she was running for governor until she made headlines today. Newsom is term limited and 2026 will be his final year. Think her chances are better in this one than when she ran for Senate.

Router uses


Good day folks, my company recently gave me some hardware, one in particular I’m curious if there are any real use cases for it. I’m not particularly well with networking. This device is a Cisco Meraki MX64. I saw it doesn’t support open WRT so I’m curious if there are any other known projects or alternative software that could run on it. I’d love to toss it in with my network stack but all I have now is just a switch that it’ll plug in to but would love to replace e switch with it.
in reply to Greddan

Those licenses are really poorly priced that’s unfortunate since they seem to be really neat devices do work with VLans for
in reply to standarduser

They are excellent in my experience. Very easy to work with. Had a bad batch of APs that all died on me but that was almost a decade ago and the replacements were just fine. Used a couple of sample devices I got from Meraki (they gave them out for participating in their seminars) and used them until the 2 year license ran out. Now I'm mostly using Mikrotik with RouterOS at home. Way more advanced but also more fun to mess around with.

The world is going crazy... How could anyone even think of such heinous crimes??


Good Privacy Practices (Intermediate)


These are some practices which worked for me, You can adjust them to match your preferences. Feel free to add your own in the comments


1. If you are forced to use something that is privacy invasive, Make it isolated from your actual profile. (Ex- Using a 2nd Browser profile, Using an alias to signup)

2. Always use the services that you use from their official clients. Don't blindly trust 3rd party clients just because they claim that they are "more private", Do some research before using it.

3. Don't mix up your work life with your personal life. Consider getting a second phone just for work purposes or you could use a second profile for work purposes if your phone has the ability to create multiple user profiles.

4. Keep a habit of clearing the browser data once in a while. (You can make your browser automatically clear the browser data when closing but it can be kinda annoying when you have to log back into websites everytime)

5. Strip away the metadata of your photos and documents when sharing them.

6. Check connected apps/services regularly and revoke unused ones. (on Discord, GitHub, Matrix and etc.)

7. Audit app permissions regularly (Some apps adds in new permissions or re-enables permissions over updates)


The old #3 tip got removed (The password one) because it served no additional protection and was pretty annoying. It was a mistake by me, sorry

  1. Silo ALL online accounts. All online accounts should have a separate name, avatar, email alias, etc, and be opened in assigned Firefox containers. Burner email aliases will be your friend here. Do not link these accounts, or if you must, link one or two but have them dead end there. The last thing you want is someone hopscotching all the way to your front door.

In reference to #5, daily use of BleachBit at the end of each computer session. Tick the 'Free Disk Space' box under the System options. Takes about an hour and a half for my system, so I run BleachBit in the evening. It won't free up disk space, nor will it make your computer run faster, but it's certainly good for security aspects. PrivaZer is also a good piece of software but it's windows based.

#3 is a pretty good tip although Bitwarden's track record of breaches that resulted in password leaks, is fairly substantial.

#6 makes me giggle because I do that for rare pictures I post online. Sometimes, I'll inject something like 'The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back, turn back, turn back' in one of the exif slots, just to see if someone is paying attention. BTW, the phrase is from an ELO instrumental that was laced with a backwards message. IIRC, the same song was used by NBC for an intro to one of their sports broadcasts back in the 70s.

opened in assigned Firefox containers


Is there any kind of automate way to do that? Because if you have always to think what account goes in what container :/ This is a lot of brain overheat !

in reply to N0x0n

Yes there is actually. FireFox Containers is what you are looking for. Now, it does take a little effort to set up, but once set up, it works like a charm. First, I create containers, lets say Lemmy is a container. Then I open Lemmy in the Lemmy container, right click the FireFox Container logo in your url bar, choose 'Always Open Site In Container' (the Lemmy container). The next time you click on your Lemmy bookmark, it will ask you 'Do you always want to open this site in the Lemmy container'. Select yes, and Jack's a doughnut, Bob's your uncle. It will always open Lemmy in the Lemmy container. You can add some other containers say 'General Slop' that you use to open random sites in.

Is that, never?

in reply to pineapple

I mean, there have been breaches. In 2023 there were a small handful, and again in 2024/2025. There have been some incidents where passwords were lifted from Have I Been Pwned and some other reused passwords that were already out on the tubes, but none to my knowledge that resulted in user's db being hacked.

Official PFLP Statement on the Ceasefire Agreement


DeepSeek translation:

The Ceasefire Agreement is a First Step Towards Ending the Genocide; Our People's Steadfastness and Valiant Resistance Have Broken the Zionist War Machine and Imposed the Agreement

Reaching a ceasefire agreement and beginning the implementation of its first phase is an important achievement and a first step on a long road to ending our people's suffering. The time has come for the genocide to stop. This is the fruit of the legendary steadfastness presented by Gaza and our Palestinian people, and the immense sacrifices of the martyrs, wounded, prisoners, and missing, who embodied the most magnificent images of sacrifice and resolve.

We extend a greeting of pride and honor to the sons of our people in the homeland and the diaspora, and to our martyrs, wounded, prisoners, and missing, who embodied the most magnificent images of sacrifice and steadfastness. Our people have endured what no other people have, and despite the destruction, massacres, and starvation, the occupation failed to achieve its goals and reaped nothing but failure, disgrace, and isolation.

The Front has continued its efforts without interruption, from the start of the aggression until the moment of signing the agreement, in coordination with all Palestinian, Arab, and Islamic forces, to reach this moment where the Zionist war machine stops. The Front will remain by our people's side in this difficult and pivotal stage of its history, continuing its role in supporting their steadfastness and struggle until their national goals are achieved.

We highly appreciate the efforts of our brothers in Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and all other Arab and Islamic nations, and the positions and movements of free countries and peoples around the world who rejected the continuation of the massacres and sought to stop them; their efforts contributed to reaching this agreement. We particularly value Egypt's firm position rejecting displacement and supporting the steadfastness of our people on their land.

The current agreement has broken the Zionist "no's" and objectives. It is the possible option under the current circumstances, and its success is linked to the occupation's commitment and clear American guarantees to prevent stalling. Our goal now is to continue working to completely end the war of genocide, achieve a comprehensive withdrawal from the Strip, break the siege, and end the suffering of our people.

We are working with all factions under Egyptian auspices for a comprehensive national dialogue that opens a new horizon for building a unified strategy based on our people's historical constants and rights to confront the next stage, and to rebuild our national institutions on the basis of partnership to face all challenges.

We reject foreign guardianship and affirm that the administration of Gaza must be purely Palestinian, with Arab and international participation in reconstruction and recovery.

The world today stands with us and supports our right to freedom and self-determination. The global movement must continue and the occupation and its leaders must be pursued even after reaching a ceasefire agreement, so that Palestine remains alive in the world's conscience until the occupation is eradicated.

God Is An Astronaut live a Roma con Jo Quail


I God Is An Astronaut tornano a Roma, il 16 ottobre al Largo Venue, accompagnati dalla violoncellista e compositrice Jo Quail.

Una dozzina di album all'attivo, alfieri di un post-rock capace di trasportarci con poche note attraverso l'universo, i God Is An Astronaut hanno conquistato pubblico e critica con le performance estive e si preparano per continuare sulla stessa falsariga anche in autunno.

Il trio irlandese, infatti, torna a calcare i palchi per presentare il nuovo album, Embers, un disco che fonde post-rock e prog in un viaggio emozionale dedicato al padre scomparso dei fratelli Kinsella. Embers collega il passato con il futuro aggiungendo strumenti tradizionali dell’Est Asiatico, amplificatori Anni ’60 e pedali vintage a una musica come sempre evocativa e carica di emozioni. Un percorso attraverso generi, individualità, comunità e sperimentazione che solo i God Is An Astronaut sanno narrare.

In apertura ci sarà il set di Jo Quail, compositrice e violoncellista virtuosa la cui musica si integra alla perfezione con le atmosfere sognanti della serata, un mix carico di contrasti e sempre in bilico tra avanguardia e suoni più classici, intimismo e intensità. Non ha caso durante l'estate ha lasciato il segno in contesti come Hellfest e Royal Festival Hall, ammaliando anche artisti come MONO, My Dying Bride ed Emma Ruth Rundle.

Economia del genocidio: aziende complici, rapporti ONU e boicottaggio dei prodotti israeliani

Indice dei contenuti

Toggle


Il dibattito sulla complicità aziendale nel conflitto israelo-palestinese ha ricevuto un nuovo impulso con la pubblicazione del rapporto From the Economy of Occupation to the Economy of Genocide (2025), redatto da Francesca Albanese, Relatrice Speciale delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti umani nei Territori Palestinesi Occupati.

Questo rapporto, chiave per la comprensione di chi finanzia la guerra a Gaza, ha delineato la transizione da una semplice economia dell’occupazione a una vera e propria economia del genocidio. Il rapporto analizza in dettaglio le aziende coinvolte nel genocidio a Gaza, evidenziando come i flussi economici globali contribuiscano al mantenimento dell’assedio e alla distruzione delle infrastrutture civili palestinesi.

Parallelamente, il database indipendente Who Profits e il movimento BDS – Boicottaggio, Disinvestimento e Sanzioni hanno documentato i legami di numerose aziende globali con l’occupazione israeliana e gli insediamenti illegali.

Questa lista aggiornata di aziende complici dell’occupazione israeliana incrocia i dati fondamentali per il consumo critico e consapevole in Italia:

  • Rapporto Albanese (ONU, 2025)Economia del genocidio, analisi
  • Database Who ProfitsAziende e occupazione
  • Campagne BDS internazionaliMarchi da evitare secondo il movimento BDS

L’obiettivo è offrire una panoramica verificata delle aziende complici dell’occupazione israeliana, permettendo ai cittadini di orientare le proprie scelte economiche e adottare un consumo realmente consapevole.


⚠️ Avvertenza importante:

La presenza di un’azienda in queste fonti non implica una condanna legale, ma indica segnalazioni o campagne pubbliche basate su analisi indipendenti, inchieste giornalistiche o rapporti di ONG. Molte aziende contestano le accuse o hanno modificato le proprie politiche.


Settore alimentare e beni di consumo


In questa sezione si concentrano i marchi di largo consumo e i prodotti più facilmente individuabili nei supermercati italiani, al centro del boicottaggio alimentare etico.

Le aziende italiane e la Difesa


Sebbene in misura minore rispetto ai colossi internazionali, esistono aziende italiane coinvolte nel conflitto israelo-palestinese, sia per collaborazioni industriali sia per progetti di difesa congiunti. Il loro ruolo è stato oggetto di indagine nel Rapporto ONU Francesca Albanese (2025).

Guida al consumo critico e consapevole


Il boicottaggio etico dei prodotti israeliani è oggi uno strumento di pressione civile sempre più utilizzato.

Per i consumatori che cercano di agire tramite il consumo consapevole, queste indicazioni pratiche possono essere d’aiuto:

  • 🔍 Verificare l’origine: evitare prodotti etichettati “Israele” o marchi agricoli noti (Jaffa, Carmel, Jordan River).
  • 📦 Codice a barre 729: è l’identificativo dei prodotti israeliani.
  • 📱 App utili: Boycat e No Thanks permettono di scansionare i prodotti e verificare se sono tra gli obiettivi BDS.
  • 🌍 Database ufficiali: consultare WhoProfits.org e il Rapporto ONU di Francesca Albanese per approfondire i legami economici e di investimento.

Frankenstein Junior diventa una serie TV: pilota FX con Cary Elwes, regia di Taika Waititi e Mel Brooks tra i produttori


Frankenstein Junior torna in vita in versione seriale. FX ha ordinato il pilota di “Very Young Frankenstein”, una serie TV ispirata alla commedia cult di Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein, 1974). Il progetto, sviluppato da 20th Television per FX/Hulu, punta a riportare in chiave moderna il mix di parodia gotica, slapstick e citazionismo che rese immortale l’originale in bianco e nero.
