Greta Thunberg: “They kicked me every time the flag touched my face”
This is not about me or the others from the flotilla. There are thousands of Palestinians, hundreds of whom are children, who are being held without trial right now, and many of them are most likely being tortured, says Greta Thunberg.
What we have been through is only a small, small part of what Palestinians have experienced. On the walls of our prison cells, we saw bullet holes with bloodstains and messages carved into the walls by Palestinian prisoners who had been there before us.
When I’m about to get off the boat, there are a bunch of police officers waiting for me. They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me.
Greta Thunberg describes how she is dragged to a paved area fenced in with iron fences. This is a protracted scene that lasts for over six hours, according to Greta, and is confirmed by several participants in the flotilla that Aftonbladet talks to.
It was kind of dystopian. I saw maybe 50 people sitting in a row on their knees with handcuffs and their foreheads against the ground. They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.
They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. ‘A special place for a special lady’, they said. And then they had learned ‘Lilla hora’ (Little removed) and ‘Hora Greta’ (removed Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.
The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that.

Right, but then rich people can no longer exploit other regions if everyone is considered equal! Think about the shareholders for a bit :/ (I'm sarcastic, in case it is not clear 😁)
The main problem here is that people flocking to positions of power are often the ones that do it for the wrong reasons. Until that part is sorted out, we will keep having leaders that will enforce things that are best for them and their closest ones. Some form of anarcho-communism would probably help this, but the current globalisation effort will make it very hard to implement. The best thing we can do as individuals is to just improve our social circle, and try to rely on as many local things as possible.

Unfortunately the "us and them thing" is an evolved aspect of human society. It's not possible for humans to get past it because it's literally in our DNA.

Regardless of what you think about Palestinians, it's trivial to see that the Israelis are bad guys in this conflict.
Usually, the world is shades of gray, like with Palestinians, so it's sort of a relief when you can just point to somebody and say, "Well, those guys are clearly the bad guys, and anybody who supports their actions is also bad."

Israel adopted the victim mentality a long time ago. Yes, they were victims of the Holocaust and yes, the world had treated them like shit for thousands of years.
The thing is that they adopted their victimhood unequivocally and then became like the spoiled child who knows how to manipulate their 'parents' to get what they want. And it's worked.
There was a time when Israel at least tried to act like a nation of people who wanted to grow, but since Netanyahu and his right-wing alliances took power Israel has become no better than Hamas -- using genocidal violence to lead.
There's plenty of Jews out there who saw what Israel would have to do in order to reach their goal of being a Jewish state from the beginning and wanted nothing to do with it.
Plenty of Holocaust survivors at the time were very explicitly against the taking of land from a pre-existing population, and understood that to make it a Jewish state you'd need to remove the people there... somehow.
Some Rabbis have even made the argument that even attempting to form Israel in the first place is heretical.
Anti-zionist Jews have been a thing for as long as Zionism has existed.
Plenty of Holocaust survivors at the time were very explicitly against the taking of land from a pre-existing population, and understood that to make it a Jewish state you’d need to remove the people there… somehow.
Do you have an example in mind? Enough people survived that I had assumed this, but then again plenty ended up in Israel as well.
The religious arguments against were definitely a thing, and it took quite a bit of propaganda to get the Sephardis to care either way, since most of the drama was in Europe.
“Because no injustice has been justified by any injustice. Never, under any circumstances, though it was still so horrific and take it from me: Auschwitz was horrific. But Jews like Leon de Winter thus justify the violence against Palestinians or Lebanese and they find Jews who think otherwise traitors. Even my foster brother once literally wrote it to me: Hajo, you're a traitor. Of course that affects me, but the primitive train of thought that is behind it: that you have to repay evil with evil, I find worse. I’d rather be a traitor than a perpetrator of crimes.”
Ben Gurion washed his hands of the Diaspora… As early as a Mapai party conference in December 1942, he said that the tragedy of the European Jews did not ‘directly concern’ them. Those were the words of a leader who was willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of Jews to the idea of a Jewish state.
My sense of betrayal grew. A question surfaced: was this what they died for? My relatives, all those Jews, all those thousands of names on the memorials? Was this horror of a racist, repressive state the result of their deaths?
the world had treated them like shit for thousands of years.
More like just Europe. Pre-Roman Jewish history reads pretty similarly to the history of their neighbors. In the Muslim world some stuff happened, but the religions actually agree on a lot, and I'd guess the other various minorities got it worse. In Christendom they were kind of the only group to punch down at, so it got really bad. The Roman period is complicated, and I'm not sure how much is even recorded about the more far flung diasporas.

Age can be a bad thing when older generations got us here
What exactly does that mean?
I know she wants to stay humble and keep the focus on Palestinian suffering, but it’s important everyone on the flotilla share their experience at the hands of the Israelis.
Every person needs to return to their home country to speak on the depravity of the Israelis and their treatment of foreign nationals to highlight their cruelty and the horrors they inflict upon the population that’s 100% under their control and every whim, who the world has ignored for decades. Of the children held in those same cells deprived of food, water, bedding and often subjected to sexual abuse by both male and female guards.

This article is a perfect way of her starting off by making everyone aware that this is happening far worse to Palestinians while also spreading the awareness and I'm glad they finally published it.

Readind that article makes me... I don't know. I'm not 'mad', I'm fucking restless. First, the torture, sure. We knew the current* Israeli government is monstrous. (*I don't know about all the previous ones, I'm not versed in Israeli history.) But the response from the Swedish embassy?
And, after all that, what's the response of the world? Similar to the Swedish government response as shown here. Evasive, absolutely unwilling to stand up to the monsters. Being monsters themselves by proxy.
I feel like I must act, but know not what to do. I'm restless. I feel like our world is stuck in some kind of non-Newtonian liquid made of Capital, Hunger for Power and Gutlessness. I feel like I want to round up all those monsters, ship them on an island and make sure there's no way out - have fun amongst yourselves, monsters. I know this isn't realist. I know not what to do. Calling my minister here in Canada doesn't do shit - our government is as gutless as all others. Standing in the street hasn't done much either, nor participating in event in support of Gaza and the wish to put an end to the massacre and torture of a whole people.

Spreading awareness, or donating to content creators and journalists who do so is a great way to help. Politicians only respond to public opinion so public opinion must be changed first.
And know that Greta only underwent a fraction of what Palestinians do in these torture camps.

And the response from politicians is slooow a fuck. We can't even get Kamala Harris to admit that Israel was committing genocide. And when Gavin Newsome was asked about AIPAC, he started glitching. I mention these 2 because they are prominent figures in the Democratic party.

Really says a lot about the IDF and Israel that they're always so excited to document the horrible things they do. They're taking pictures so they can show other people. They think other Israelis - their friends and family - will be excited to see pictures of someone being treated horribly. Reminds me of Rachel Corrie and how they found her murder so funny they'd make pancakes with her face on it. What kind of person celebrates murder like that, and what kind of society allows such public celebration of it?
She's a non-violent protestor. Why do they take so much joy in being violent to her?

You should look into the ecological impact of Israel’s genocide.
And given that the Middle East is in big fucking trouble with regards to climate change, their genocidal "military campaign" was a bit of a self-own.

Candace Owens: Australia’s high court backs minister’s decision to deny visa to US rightwinger
Home affairs minister’s 2024 decision to reject visa application for planned speaking tour on character grounds upheld
Australia’s high court has unanimously backed the government’s 2024 decision to refuse the rightwing provocateur Candace Owens a visa to enter the country.
The full bench of the court ruled on Wednesday that the minister’s denial did not infringe an implied constitutional freedom of political communication.
Last October the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, refused Owens’ visa application before a planned national speaking tour, arguing that she had the “capacity to incite discord”.
Burke said at the time the US conservative influencer and podcast host, who has advanced conspiracy theories and antisemitic rhetoric – including allegedly minimising Nazi medical experiments in concentration camps – did not pass the “character test” to receive a visa under the Migration Act.

This looks more like another instagram clone rather than Facebook. Building a following of strangers rather than a network of people you actually know.
I've yet to see a proper alternative (fediverse or not) to the way Facebook originally helped to keep connected to friends and family. To plan events. To keep your posts only visible to your friends. That's the part that is hard to give up.

Anticipazioni Uominiedonne 14/10/25. La tronista Sara Gaudenzi frega un corteggiatore a Cristiana Aniana
Approfondiamo le ultime anticipazioni delle nuove registrazioni di Uomini e Donne, che promettono un sorprendente colpo di scena nel trono classico.
#Anticipazioni Uomini e Donne: Sara Gaudenzi conquista un corteggiatore conteso
Martedì 14 ottobre 2025 si sono svolte le recenti registrazioni del popolare dating show di Maria De Filippi, in onda su Canale 5. Le novità riguardano sia il trono classico sia il trono over, portando con sé momenti di tensione e sviluppo nei sentimenti dei protagonisti.
Anticipazioni sulle registrazioni di Uomini e Donne
Durante le registrazioni, Jakub Bakkour è stato nuovamente invitato nello studio. Dopo la sua scelta di eliminarsi nella puntata precedente e la decisione di Cristiana Anania di non inseguirlo, la situazione ha avuto un inaspettato cambio di rotta. Sara Gaudenzi, la nuova tronista del trono classico, ha espresso il desiderio di conoscerlo meglio e lo ha fatto rientrare nel programma. Jakub ha accettato subito, provocando qualche polemica che potrebbe creare rivalità tra le due troniste. Di Flavio Ubirti e delle sue corteggiatrici non è stato fatto alcun accenno durante la registrazione, che si è poi concentrata sui partecipanti del trono over.
#Federico e Agnese: nuovi sviluppi nel trono over
Passando alle storie del trono over, si riapre il capitolo legato a Gemma Galgani. La dama torinese, decisa a farsi valere, è tornata a puntare il dito contro Mario Lenti. Dopo un aspro confronto al centro dello studio, Mario ha rivelato di non desiderare nemmeno un rapporto amichevole con Gemma, criticando la sua incoerenza nell’alternare complimenti e critiche.
Un’altra storia interessante riguarda Federico Mastrostefano, che ha scelto di riprendere il rapporto con Agnese De Pasquale, lasciando da parte la precedente decisione di chiudere ogni possibilità di conoscenza. Secondo le anticipazioni, Federico avrebbe dichiarato di sentirsi coinvolto per circa il 75% nella relazione. La registrazione si è poi conclusa con la prima sfilata femminile di questa edizione, che ha visto Agnese conquistare la vittoria.

Eavesdropping on Internal Networks via Unencrypted Satellites
Major Security Flaws Found in Satellite Communications
Researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Maryland revealed that nearly half of geostationary satellite signals transmit unencrypted data, exposing sensitive communications from telecom networks, military operations, and critical infrastructure1.
Using just $800 in off-the-shelf equipment - a satellite dish, roof mount, motor and tuner card - the team intercepted vast amounts of unprotected data over three years from their San Diego location2. Their findings included:
- T-Mobile cellular network traffic, including over 2,700 phone numbers and one-sided call/text content captured in just 9 hours2
- U.S. military vessel communications and Mexican military/law enforcement data, including helicopter locations and narcotics intelligence2
- Critical infrastructure communications from power grids and offshore oil platforms3
- In-flight WiFi data from 10 different airlines2
"It just completely shocked us. There are some really critical pieces of our infrastructure relying on this satellite ecosystem, and our suspicion was that it would all be encrypted," said Aaron Schulman, UCSD professor who co-led the research2.
After being notified, some companies like T-Mobile quickly added encryption, while others, including certain U.S. critical infrastructure operators, have yet to secure their systems3.
The researchers estimate they accessed only 15% of global satellite transponders from their single location, suggesting the vulnerability's true scope is far larger2. Johns Hopkins professor Matt Green noted: "The fact that this much data is going over satellites that anyone can pick up with an antenna is just incredible"2.

Inside the Improbable, Audacious and (So Far) Unstoppable Rise of Zohran Mamdani
For months now, Mamdani has been meeting privately with former leaders in city government, business executives, heads of New York arts and cultural institutions and skeptical local Democrats.
He has sought common ground. He has heard out his critics, including wealthy New Yorkers in business and finance and some pro-Israel activists who are turned off by his lifelong advocacy for Palestinians or offended by his reluctance to immediately condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” the use of which he later discouraged.
Robert Wolf, another Partnership for New York City member and a major fund-raiser for the Democratic Party, told me that he has begun texting with the candidate, becoming an informal pulse check for the city’s finance and business community.
“Zohran, to me, is more of a progressive capitalist,” Wolf told me, adding that he was convinced by their private interactions that Mamdani understood the importance of the private sector thriving in his New York.
The conversations have allowed Mamdani to reframe his previous positions, tweaking the us-versus-them language of his democratic-socialist values to be a tad less punitive. He has made it clear that he wants to support renters, not punish landlords. He wants to support public education, not take a hammer to specialized schools with elite admissions. He supports Palestinian rights; he’s not anti-Zionist. He made key concessions when it comes to policing. Importantly, he made clear that he was open to compromise when it came to his proposed millionaires’ tax. Call it Mamdani 2.0.

Fotovoltaico, quale normativa ?
Da quanto ho letto, pare che l'installazione di un impianto fotovoltaico rientri nell'Edilizia libera, a meno che la sede dell'installazione non rientri in aree vincolate o soggette a norme particolari come potrebbero essere i centri storici o aree tutelate. In tal caso, pare occorra una autorizzazione o una dichiarazione certificata. Penso sia bene accertarsi della cosa consultando lo strumento urbanistico del proprio Comune.

Trump is going to be in charge of two of the longest US government shutdowns in history by a long shot. The fact that we can't just kick all the bums out and replace them when this kind of shit happens is a travesty.
I'm betting this will at least be a two month long shutdown if not indefinite shutdown because the Republicans want to break government so badly they're just willing to keep it shutdown at this point.
"We broke the government, which proves government doesn't work, which is why you need to trust us (the people who broke it) to save you from government" has been their whole shtick my entire fucking life.
Cheapest VPN in the long term for watching movies and tv shows?
My country never cared about this, but recently some people started getting fines. I generally pay for my games; I only use ReVanced and watch TV shows online.
What would be the cheapest VPN in the long run for this? As I said, I don't torrent, so port forwarding and stuff like that I don't care about.
There's also antimalware software bundled with the M365 subscription on Amazon; I've been using the VPN from that for a bit now.
Edit: Btw, do you think an antimalware VPN is safe? It's never been a problem (never like the USA, for example) over here in the EU, but recently they started slightly hunting pirates (never heard of anyone I know though). So yeah, maybe a simple VPN may suffice until they decide to go hardcore style?

VPN Comparison 2.0
After making a post about comparing VPN providers, I received a lot of requested feedback. I've implemented most of the ideas I received.
Providers
- AirVPN
- IVPN
- Mozilla VPN
- Mullvad VPN
- NordVPN
- NymVPN
- Private Internet Access (abbreviated PIA)
- Proton VPN
- Surfshark VPN
- Tor (technically not a VPN)
- Windscribe
Notes
- I'm human. I make mistakes. I made multiple mistakes in my last post, and there may be some here. I've tried my best.
- Pricing is sometimes weird. For example, a 1 year plan for Private Internet Access is 37.19€ first year and then auto-renews annually at 46.73€. By the way, they misspelled "annually". AirVPN has a 3 day pricing plan. For the instances when pricing is weird, I did what I felt was best on a case-by-case basis.
- Tor is not a VPN, but there are multiple apps that allow you to use it like a VPN. They've released an official Tor VPN app for Android, and there is a verified Flatpak called Carburetor which you can use to use Tor like a VPN on secureblue (Linux). It's not unreasonable to add this to the list.
- Some projects use different licenses for different platforms. For example, NordVPN has an open source Linux client. However, to call NordVPN open source would be like calling a meat sandwich vegan because the bread is vegan.
- The age of a VPN isn't a good indicator of how secure it is. There could be a trustworthy VPN that's been around for 10 years but uses insecure, outdated code, and a new VPN that's been around for 10 days but uses up-to-date, modern code.
- Some VPNs, like Surfshark VPN, operate in multiple countries. Legality may vary.
- All of the VPNs claim a "no log" policy, but there's some I trust more than others to actually uphold that.
- Tor is special in the port forwarding category, because it depends on what you're using port forwarding for. In some cases, Tor doesn't need port forwarding.
- Tor technically doesn't have a WireGuard profile, but you could (probably?) create one.
Takeaways
- If you don't mind the speed cost, Tor is a really good option to protect your IP address.
- If you're on a budget, NymVPN, Private Internet Access, and Surfshark VPN are generally the cheapest. If you're paying month-by-month, Mullvad VPN still can't be beat.
- If you want VPNs that go out of their way to collect as little information as possible, IVPN, Mullvad VPN, and NymVPN don't require any personal information to use. And Tor, of course.

How long is “in the long run?” How much can you afford to spend? What country? How many devices?
For what you’re describing it doesn’t seem like places like mullvad or proton are the right choice. Nord is a good way to get past geofencing for decently cheap. Windscribe can also be cheap. Air is cheap if you’re not Italian.
Anti malware VPN services can be okay sometimes, I wouldn’t call them a serious option though because they’re often tied to use of some antimalware suite and may have glaring flaws when used without the rest of that software.

Seeking active federated communities for command line tips and tricks
I'm looking for active federated communities on the fediverse where users share tips, tricks, and best practices for using the command line. Something similar to the Arch Linux forums but accessible through the fediverse.
I've checked out a few communities like Command Line@lemmy.ml (1.47K subscribers) and Command Line@programming.dev (2.09K subscribers), but they seem to have many subscribers but no active users per month. It feels like Lemmy smothers these niche communities somehow.
Does anyone know of other active federated communities or instances where command line enthusiasts gather to share knowledge and help each other out?

It probably depends on how personalized the ads are. It should come as no surprise that targeted ads have been a thing as long as ads have existed. Coke ads during family shows, alcohol ads (you'll be cool if you use our product) on MTV, etc.
There are already a number of algorithms to deliver one ad for a product over another, based on likely demographics. Streaming has greatly increased this, since specific demographic details are immediately and directly available when the ad is shown. I won't get the same as on Hulu that you get.
As for generating ads on-the-fly, that seems unlikely. Few ads are fully generated at all, let alone in response to demographics or the specific viewer(s).
There are also risks when deploying ads without vetting. Some of these viewers will be dressed as Nazis, and will happily share the video to everyone.

Brazil’s first private Amazon road paves new trade route to China as pro-deforestation mindset prevails

- Brazil’s government has signed a 30-year contract to privatize a section of the BR-364 highway, a key part of its plan to create an overland corridor to Peru to streamline commodity exports to China.
- Critics warn that expanding the highway into well-preserved rainforest risks repeating its history by attracting illegal loggers and land grabbers, a pattern that previously cleared vast areas for agriculture.
[...]
Fueled by soybean, corn and beef production, [the Brazilian state of] Rondônia is now one of Brazil’s leading agribusiness states, where a pro-deforestation mindset prevails, rooted in a population largely disconnected from the forest, rivers and traditional Amazonian culture. This view gained renewed momentum under Jair Bolsonaro, the far-right president from 2019-2022, who won all 52 of Rondônia’s municipalities in both the 2018 and 2022 elections.
Cutting across Rondônia, BR-364 has become a key route for moving grain, beef and minerals to ports on the Madeira River in Porto Velho. From there, commodities from Brazil’s central-west region are shipped downriver to foreign markets via the Atlantic Ocean.

Russia accuses exiled opponents of plot to violently seize power
An exiled Kremlin critic, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, has been accused by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) of creating a “terrorist organisation” and of plotting to violently seize power.
The FSB said it had opened a criminal case against Khodorkovsky and was investigating more than 20 people as part of the same charge. These include prominent dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza, former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, ex-prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov and leading economists Sergey Aleksashenko and Sergei Guriev.
It comes just two weeks after a “platform for dialogue” with Russian democratic forces in exile was announced by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, a human rights forum of lawmakers from 46 European countries.
The FSB claimed Khodorkovsky was presenting this platform as a replacement for Russian leadership. He was also accused of funding Ukrainian paramilitary units in order to use them to try to eventually seize power.
Khodorkovsky rejects accusations
Khodorkovsky denied the accusations and called the criminal case a sign that the Kremlin sees the Council of Europe initiative as “a major problem”.
“Hence the new cases about ‘seizing power’, the lies about ‘recruiting’ and ‘arming the Ukrainian military’,” he said on Telegram.

China wants foreign scientists, the public says no, thanks: Since Beijing announced a new visa to attract young science and technology graduates, a backlash has erupted online
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44096080
ArchivedWhen the Chinese government announced a new visa to attract young science and technology talent, it advertised the move as another step toward becoming the leading scientific power, one to which people from around the globe would flock.
To many in China, it was a gross mistake.
In the days before and since Oct. 1, when the visa was supposed to come into effect, commenters have accused the government of inviting foreigners to steal jobs from Chinese people, at a time when young people are finding it harder than ever to land work. They have suggested that foreigners are being blindly worshiped, a longstanding national sore point.
Prominent influencers have also stoked nationalism or xenophobia, claiming that China will be overrun by outsiders. After Henry Huiyao Wang, the president of the Center for China and Globalization, a research group in Beijing, praised the new visa, people on social media called him a race traitor, and their posts were shared thousands of times.
Platforms have been especially flooded by racist comments about Indians, after Indian news outlets reported on the Chinese visa as a possible alternative to the highly popular H1-B visa in the United States, which now comes with a $100,000 fee.
[...]
The public outcry suggests that China may still struggle to attract the world’s best and brightest scientists, even as the United States has cut research funding and pushed many prominent scholars to consider leaving.
Anti-foreign sentiment has grown in China in recent years, as the government has warned of hostile overseas powers and urged people to report potential spies. China has historically had minuscule levels of inbound immigration, and many cultural and legal barriers remain for foreigners seeking to remain long-term.
When the government proposed slightly loosening permanent residency requirements for foreigners in 2020, it eventually retreated in the face of a similar backlash. (China granted fewer than 5,000 permanent residency cards between 2004 and 2014, according to People’s Daily.)

I think that if I were a Chinese multinational company and it becomes a problem, I'd probably just set up an R&D office abroad in a suitable country that doesn't have the degree of political resistance.
Probably still slightly bad for China, but I don't think that it necessarily is going to be some insurmountable problem for Chinese firms.
At this scale of immigration, what matters is going to be the individual's skillset. They aren't going to measurably bolster the country's population. Doesn't really matter that much whether they settle in China and raise kids and such.
This is what the report says. I guess there are weird people everywhere, here in the West, in China, everywhere else. It's just that given the strict censorship in China, the government does not much against this racism. One report is here.
China's government suppresses its minorities. If you are not Han Chinese and not a member of the CCP, you may not climb to high up the career ladder to say the least.

At the United Nations, China touts its progress on gender equality, but its approach to feminist activism tells a different story
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44096052
Archived[...]
For China, the U.N. summit on October 13-14 is the final, triumphant act of a yearlong show of force from its diplomatic and media mouthpieces seeking to center its “historic achievements in women’s development” and position China as a global model for women’s rights protection.
Yet as officials trumpet their “30 years of progress” to assembled dignitaries, the voices of the country’s own feminists will be conspicuously absent.
That’s because many are in prison, while others face threats and harassment intended to keep them silent – whether they still live in China, or have had to flee abroad.
China’s self-congratulatory narrative on women’s rights has been pushed not just at home, but also abroad: from the halls of the United Nations to the pages of local embassies and media markets in, for example, South Africa, Tanzania, Liberia, Ghana and Grenada. Last month, state-run press even published two compilations of Xi Jinping’s speeches in English for the explicit purpose of “help[ing] international readers gain a deeper understanding of Xi’s views” on women’s rights and much more ahead of the U.N. meeting in Beijing.
[...]
Xi’s views are clear on one point: that shutting down space for critical voices and public discussion on human rights, including topics of women and gender, are essential matters of national security.
Over the last decade, the Chinese state has continued to implement laws and policies that suppress feminist activism – and in doing so has convicted women human rights defenders one by one.
[...]
The five women made famous by their 2015 criminal detentions for advocacy on International Women’s Day continue to work in civil society and to push for policy change – but they are careful to do so in ways that keep them and their families safe. Following their detentions, the costs of speaking out publicly have only risen. For four years, #MeToo activist and journalist Huang Xueqin has been locked up for “inciting subversion of state power” for her social media posts and her efforts to learn about and discuss non-violent movements.
Many other women activists – such as Li Qiaochu, Chen Jianfang, Xu Yan and Zhang Zhan – have languished in prison based on similarly spurious convictions. Vaccine safety advocate He Fangmei was convicted of “picking quarrels” and (absurdly) bigamy in 2024; when she’s released in 2027 she will have spent seven of the last eight years in detention. Her family doesn’t know where her daughters – the youngest one born while she was in detention – are located.
[...]
When Chinese officials wax poetic about the country’s progress on women’s rights, it is essential to remember that this is not the whole story. The government postures on anti-discrimination, locks up women defenders, and criminalizes feminist activism – all out of fear that the system the CCP has built might come crashing down on their heads.

I hear they are a solution to the problem of increasing mileage/efficiency. I am no fan of Tesla, but we have to admit, there is some merit to that argument, however debatable the efficiency benefits are.
That's not to say safety isn't a serious issue. The biggest problem is the reliance on electronics. Now if someone can reinvent the design with a highly reliable mechanical system, with multiple redundancy.
To my knowledge, there are designs which allow you to pop out the latch without the need for electronics.
However, if I'm reading the article correctly those wouldn't be allowed either because in their default state they don't have "enough room for a hand to grip behind them". That wording alone explicitely bans flush doorhandles, and not just electronic doorhandles
I've seen three designs for purely mechanical flush door handles in production use:
- A handle with a central hinge where one side is pushed inward to make the other side stick out to be pulled. This design has been used on aircraft for many decades, and has also made its way to a few cars.
- A pull-up door handle with an additional flap in front of the access area. This was used on the Subaru XT/Alcyone/Vortex.
- A handle that pushes in to open, usually found on a portion of the door that's more horizontal to the ground. Used on the C3 Corvette, among others.
The push-then-pull central hinge is probably not a great choice for the application because its operation will be less obvious to a rescuer trying to get the door open quickly. It's still better than something that requires electronics.
The Model 3 / Model Y are push to pull, it's just not a centred hinge, it's more to the left side, within the 1st 1/4 or so.
There's no reason they couldn't have done that but also make it mechanical if they'd wanted to.
I think having an electric popper on top of an mechanical door latch (actual door handles are standard mechanic, but there's solenoid that can actuate them independently) is okay if you can find an actual usecase.
I mean sure still stupid but at least it isn't dangerous.
Same way electric locks have worked for the past 30 years on cars.
An old civic might be able to unlock from a key fob, but that's only an electronically controlled solenoid controlling a lock which is mechanical in nature, and who's main user-accessible interaction point is mechanically linked to the lock.
I think having an electric popper on top of an mechanical door latch is okay
The problem with having both is that the electronic one is always the primary one, and the one people will use daily. In particular Tesla hides the mechanical ones really well. So in an emergency situation, people panic and have no idea where it is or how to use it.
Same way electric locks have worked
Electric locks actually serve a purpose though. And they're not a danger to passengers inside. What purpose do electric door handles serve? Other than being more prone to failure, more expensive, and dangerous?
What purpose do electric door locks serve? Other than being more prone to failure, more expensive, and dangerous?
An oligarch's fancy?
I'm sure in product meetings it's been brought up that it's a dumb thing and they could save money and make the cars safer by not having them, then the oligarch speaks up.
The problem with having both is that the electronic one is always the primary one, and the one people will use daily.
Yeah that's the design flaw. Thats literally what im saying they shouldn't do. You can make a mechanical-first door with an internal solenoid thats capable of popping the door.
The main and only handles on all the doors should be mechanical only, with door popper buttons for all four doors on the driver-side arm rest (where window controls go)
What purpose do electric door handles serve? Other than being more prone to failure, more expensive, and dangerous?
Electric door poppers ARE NOT the same thing as electric door handles, pick a thing to complain about.
POPPERS (IE:solenoids) allow the driver to open doors for passengers, while also ensuring the main way in and out is NOT dependent on electronics (when properly implemented).
Unnecessary luxury? Sure, but so are cars in a lot of the world. Solenoids are cheap, and the idea is not inherently a danger when done right.
Your issue isn't electronically controlled door poppers. Its cars being made by silicon valley, y-combinator sucking, tech-bro douchebags who thought replacing the mechanical handle with a button was a good idea.
The purpose of the electric latch is to save the frameless window panes. It can lower the window slightly in the instant before it opens, to break the seal and avoid torsion on the glass.
Now, frameless windows are stupid and not necessary, so theres that. One dumb idea propagates another.
This doesn't pass a sanity check.
A mechanical handle that actuates when deflected 30 degrees can trip a microswitch at 10 degrees to slightly open the window.

The issues could cascade beyond the design. The auto manufacturing industry operates on strict production schedules. Though it builds in time to validate and test whatever new features come in each new model, the sudden intro of a design change late in the process could throw off the delicate timetable.

How expensive new moulds are? Any other potential knock-on effects this may have on the internal design?

Government's also tend to introduce grace periods. They announced that they are going to introduce a law and that that law will go into effect on x date. The manufacturing now has plenty of time to sell the current run of vehicles and then alter the design well ahead of the law coming into effect.
You don't just introduce a law and then implement it the following day. Well Trump does but no body else does.

And of course their constant insistence on inventing vehicles that already exist but labelling them as a different vehicle, with the capabilities of the already existing vehicle, and somehow insisting that it is a revolutionary idea.
Hey guys look at my cool idea for a train that doesn't need rails.
Libertarians are just people too dumb to understand code requirements in every industry and profession.
The only thing libertarians understand is that they can make more money if they charge a full price for a half-ass job.
"too dumb to understand code requirements in every industry and profession."
Or selfish. Unfortunately Hanlon's razor can only cut so deep.
Could they just use regular fucking door handles?
I remember when people kept trying to assert that Tesla is a "luxury" brand, though it seems that this pretense has finally been dropped. Even so, surely they can figure out something that doesn't seem to be an issue for even the cheapest tier of vehicles available in USDM.
Source on that? Hobbiest aerodynamics nerd and big into F1 (and did a lot of liquid system design engineering in a previous job). Genuinely curious!
My gut feel is that a half kilo of unsprung weight (those ridiculous wheels), tighter fenders, or a bit of tail teardropping would go so much further than anything door-handle-wise. It's certainly helping promote flow attachment, but you've got poor flow rates there because of the wing mirrors anyway
I'm talking out of my ass. I'm big into (mostly sim) racing myself, but I have no formal training or experience. You probably know way more about it than me!
If you're a racing nerd then you know how strong the suckage can be. My car uses premium fuel and I get about 7L/100km on the highway. That adds up on long trips, so I try to save fuel when I can. I've tried drafting behind transport trucks. Even at only 90 kmph, I was able to get that number down to 5L/100km.
Electric vehicles have a lot of design features to cut down on aerodynamic and mechanical drag. Special hub caps, no grilles, low drag tires, etc. for the purpose of helping their main problem and selling point: the vehicle's range on a single charge. I assumed the flush door handles were just another design feature for reducing aerodynamic drag, where every little bit counts.
Again, this is all out of my ass. I am well aware that aerodynamics are far far more complex than "smooth = better", and that most cars are probably already designed so the door handles aren't a problem. Maybe the door handles make no difference and having them flush is just optics for Tesla.
Ah cool! After i raced irl for like a decade I sim raced for a while. It was super fun! I'd like to get back into it someday. It's a lot better on the wallet and body than IRL stuff (especially motorcycles).
I think it helps, but it probably is more of a selling point and aesthetic than an actual help on the (agreed) biggest selling point number.
It's one of those decisions that someone up top probably made and has these kinds of stupid consequences of moving fast and breaking shit. I wouldn't be upset if it had to go to a normal one
I've been into sim racing for nearly a decade. There's never been a better time to get into it IMO.
Sim racing games and equipment have gotten significantly better and cheaper over the last 5 years. Hydraulic pedals and direct drive wheelbases did exist, but they were in the $2k-$4k price range. Now you can get high quality gear with that technology for under $500.
iRacing and Assetto Corsa are still the kings, but we are spoiled for choice when it comes to excellent sims.
If you are any kind of gearhead you'll love it. There are even thriving sub-hobbies for things like bass shakers and motion platforms, which add back some of the seat feeling that you miss out on versus IRL.
Did you do motorcycle racing IRL? I've seen crazy motorcycle sim builds with motion, lean, etc., but I don't think serious simulators exist yet. I'd love to see it.
As for Tesla, I don't think we can know unless a Tesla engineer/aerodynamicist chimes in. There are other more serious examples of executive meddling in engineering, like the use of visual cameras instead of radar/lidar. Working for them must be a hair-pulling experience for their engineers.
Kudos for your humility, but you just said that you have no idea the magnitude.
I didn't mean to discount your awareness of the margins of optimization. It's quite a thing moving the needle in an established market (not to mention the money and years of R&D). But this ain't it
I looked into this a long time ago, and it was likely they were getting around 2-3 miles of extra range from it.
I'd say it's less important now than it was back then, when batteries weren't as good and a mile or two anywhere was important.
that style is also a problem in the winter, though less so
they are prone to breaking as they age when the door is frozen shut and you gotta pull hard
Being able to quickly get out of a burning car is important. If you only ever use the electronic door handle and your electrical system is damaged by...the fire, then you are much more likely to burn. The same problem exists on the outside of the car as rescuers have a harder time getting in to save people.
Getting stuck outside of the car in the winter is also pretty common when there is not a good place to grab when the door is covered in ice.
Car manufacturers have been making normal door handles for forever. Tesla 'fixed' something that wasn't broken.
There are billions of us. We can do many things at once.
This may not matter as much as nuclear disarmament, but it matters to everyone that owns one of these cars.
Great. Next please: no more touch-controls. I want back haptic buttons for the most important stuff.

A) Yes, at this point we can blame the idiots buying Teslas too.
B) This sounds like it would only impact new sales
C) Nothing about Teslas are "enshittificarion". It doesn't mean "getting shittier", or "are shitty".
Will it? I’m skeptical of the translation since it’s obviously loose and casual, and more optimistic with the quote from Tesla saying they’re redesigning it …
- article says mechanical release handles inside and out. Tesla model y could already be here depending on the details
- articles says a hand must fit behind the handle, ruling out flush handles, but depending on the details, the model y may a
Ready be there, as is the Opel Corsa in this thread - no mention of the electronic latch. I don’t get it, wouldn’t this be the actual most dangerous part?
Is this because the door handle is some complicated electronic mechanism rather than a latch? Gee who could have possibly predicted that would be a problem.
My neighbour has a Tesla and last year I had great fun watching her trying to defrost her car enough to get the door handle to even come out.
"That's harder than it sounds."
Is it, though? Is it really? We've been making manual car door latches for 100 years.
It's only hard for Musk, and only because he just doesn't want to do it.
Your skill doesn't translate into supply chain management, testing timelines, manufacturing setups, all that. Dad was a civil engineer. Didn't mean he could run a road laying company.

I work in supply chain and manufacturing now lol. Tesla is a major fuck up of a company.
I worked with some of their engineers after they left and they aren't very bright.
Well fuck it, I guess I'm ready to take the next step in my radicalization.
The best wording I can think of is late stage capitalism. Someone should be eating their lunch
so in your mind, what happens when a recall occurs and some defective part is replaced with another part? do you think they run these replacements through all your supply chain management testing setups all that huh?
or they don't replace the defects?
?
no, this happens all the time. it allows manufacturers to respond to systems that didn't age well, or didn't stand up to public users, or children, or was unsafe in a way that didn't present itself during testing. these things happen. manufacturers make adjustments, replace parts, change software, and put it back out on the road.
No dude, your post acts like this couldn't be anticipated, never mind reported on for years.
Seriously, how many models did Tesla need to figure this out for? They didn't have a plan 2 years ago?
Shit. Forgot where I was. My post is sucking Elon’s dick and excusing Tesla for fuck ups.
Unironically yes, you're all over this story flooding the zone with shit to try discrediting the whole thing, despite having nothing of substance to offer beyond asserting that nobody knows anything except for you and Elon.
I read the article. It sounds like the auto makers concern is that they don't think they have been given enough time to solve the problem (the problem being one which may kill people while we wait for a solution).
I think we should give them all the time they want, as long as they stop selling cars without safe door handles RIGHT NOW.

Changing Screen Position on raspberry pi
Hello there, I am working on a little project as a way to improve my cad abilities. I am hoping to build a custom fantasy computer to go along with the pico8 fantasy system. I am basing it off of the Mac se/30 but am obviously hoping to get that nice 1:1 aspect ratio.
Trouble is that decent size 1:1 screens don't seem to exist as far as I have researched, I instead found a small 4:3 lcd panel I can use, and was originally planning to simply rotate the screen and let it render 1:1 while physically covering the top and bottom, but it seems to add significantly more vertical height than I anticipated.
so now I am hoping that I can shift the screen down and somehow get the PI to render only in the topmost visible section.
Included are a couple pictures of what I mean.
I am just wondering if there is a way, in software, to rotate and move up the screen, or at least the pico 8 window

FSF announces Librephone project
cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/51000209
Librephone aims to close the last gaps between existing distributions of the Android operating system and software freedom. The FSF has hired experienced developer Rob Savoye (DejaGNU, Gnash, OpenStreetMap, and more) to lead the technical project. He is currently investigating the state of device firmware and binary blobs in other mobile phone freedom projects, prioritizing the free software work done by the not entirely free software mobile phone operating system LineageOS.

In case anyone is misunderstanding, they explicitly say this is not a new phone or piece of hardware at all, it is simply a project (and for now, more of an investigation than a project creating actual deliverables) into the scale and scope of closed source binary blobs being used on phones, so they can start work to address them.
It's an important and necessary project, and I support the FSF in most of the things they do, but if you're picturing them riding heroically to the rescue by Christmas with a new phone-of-freedom they're going to sell to you, it's a very very VERY long way from that.

Spot on. There are substantial incentive of each company wanting to keep user on platform they have control over, if not massive for revenues from appstore tax, advertising, etc.
I think it suffices to say that it is becoming a primary goal selling you their phone (I don't have data or evidence for this, just a feeling) -- to get you to use their system and stuck with their advertisement slot or whatever every time you unlock your phone.

It's an optional choice for the search engine.

There are many ways, a popular choice would be managing your own recursive DNS resolver and then blocking the endpoint it contacts.

‘Pete Hegseth Has United the Media!’ Only One Outlet Has Agreed to Pentagon’s New Press Rules as Fox News, CNN and More Refuse to Comply
Pete Hegseth‘s Defense Department has threatened to revoke press credentials of news organization that do not agree to restrictive new coverage rules — and says it may bar journalists who don’t agree to abide by the rules from physical access to the Pentagon’s grounds. But more than three dozen news orgs have said they are refusing to sign on to the requirements.On Tuesday, in a joint statement five major TV news outlets — ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News — said they were not agreeing to the new rules. The Pentagon has told reporters they must sign an agreement for the new rules by Tuesday or turn in their press passes by Wednesday.
According to the Defense Department’s press office, which outlined the new rules last month, reporters covering the Pentagon must sign a pledge not to obtain or use unauthorized material (even if the information is unclassified). If they do not, they will potentially be barred from the Pentagon.
“Today, we join virtually every other news organization in declining to agree to the Pentagon’s new requirements, which would restrict journalists’ ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues,” the networks said in the statement. “The policy is without precedent and threatens core journalistic protections. We will continue to cover the U.S. military as each of our organizations has done for many decades, upholding the principles of a free and independent press.”
The five networks join a number of other news orgs that have already said they won’t agree to the new rules being imposed by Hegseth, a former Fox News host. Those include the New York Times, AP, Reuters, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Politico, NewsNation and the Hill, along with conservative-leaning outlets like Newsmax and the Washington Examiner.
At press time, only one outlet has said it plans to sign on to the new rules announced by the Pentagon, which the Trump administration now calls the “U.S. Department of War”: pro-Trump network One America News Network (OANN).

OANN.
... Last paragraph before I cut off the article for the summary in the post, and then jump to the big list.
So yeah, literally only the cultiest MAGA network is onboard, as far as I can tell, literally all other US journalism outlets possibly relevant to military reporting have refused it, there's a slew of defense oriented publications on there, a good deal of other pretty conservative outlets on the noncompliance list too.
... They did.
On Tuesday, in a joint statement five major TV news outlets — ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News — said they were not agreeing to the new rules.
They signed this statement:
"Today, we join virtually every other news organization in declining to agree to the Pentagon’s new requirements, which would restrict journalists’ ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues,” the networks said in the statement. “The policy is without precedent and threatens core journalistic protections.

... this is all in the parts I excerpted, in the post.
You've misunderstood the thread.
They refused to sign on to the new requirements along with everyone else.
... I posted the thread.
The person I am responding to used the verb 'sign', alone, which could refer to signing the joint refusal statement, or, it could be referring to signing on to the new requirements from the DoW.
Regardless, it seems you have the correct factual understanding, regardless of phrasing, so, all good, I was just trying to make sure nobody had a factual misunderstanding.

My guess is that the administration backs down. Maybe they could lose some of those, but if they can't even get Fox News and Newsmax onboard, they're just basically shutting down their media coverage.
EDIT: Also, I'm amazed that the administration managed to dick things up to that degree. I don't have a very high opinion of Hegseth, but if there's one thing that you'd think that his experience would be relevant for, you'd think that he'd at least be able to handle media relations with Fox News. The guy spent the last decade there.
El Paso family claims Border Patrol killed their dog during search, CBP reviewing incident
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/47935906
The son answered the door and, while he permitted the agents to search his home, claiming he had nothing to hide, he asked if they could wait first while he put the family dog, Chop, a Rottweiler, away in the bathroom before they walked in, as the dog could be aggressive...
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home and, as a result, ended up shooting the dog.The family stressed that the agents knew-- the son had told them-- that Chop was put in the bathroom for their safety and that the agents opened the door, let Chop out and shot him.
Furthermore, the family said none of the Border Patrol agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to the dog, which bled to death on the kitchen floor.
The family added that when they confronted agents, Border Patrol reportedly told them they were working from an anonymous tip tied to the previous owners of the home, who lived there two years ago.

Built-in password managers in software like browsers and operating systems are sometimes not as good as dedicated password manager software. The advantage of a built-in password manager is good integration with the software, but it can often be very simple and lack privacy and security features that standalone offerings have.For example, the password manager in Microsoft Edge doesn't offer end-to-end encryption at all. Google's password manager has optional E2EE, and Apple's offers E2EE by default.

As a general rule, browser based password storage is less secure than a standalone offering. While convenient, Firefox loads the cipher into memory. and stores passwords in a local file (logins.json) encrypted with 3DES (older versions) or AES (newer), using a key derived from an optional primary password. Without a primary password, Firefox uses a blank key, making it trivially decryptable. Even with one, decryption occurs locally but lacks the layered, zero-knowledge design of something like Bitwarden. This makes Firefox stored passwords more vulnerable to something like a virus outbreak on your computer, which can access your Firefox stored passwords.
This is how I understand it. If someone has better intel, or if I need schooled up, do share.
You seem to be much more knowledgeable on the topic,
Well, the first thing you need to know about me is that I am an expert at nothing. I've just been screwing up enough computers since the mid 70s to learn a couple things. LOL
Some thoughts and opinions:
Firefox: As mentioned earlier, Firefox stores it's logins in a file called logins.json, which is encrypted. It stores the encryption keys in a separate file called key4.db. They are encrypted with 3DES in CBC mode for the passwords themselves. When you save a password, Firefox encrypts it before writing it to disk. If you don't create a master password in Firefox, the browser uses a basic form of encryption based on your operating system credentials or a default key. This allows Firefox to automatically decrypt your passwords for autofill purposes without requiring any extra authentication, as long as you're logged into your device. The master password is key, because with the master password Firefox adds a stronger cipher in the form of PBKDF2-SHA256. Without the master password, anyone using your browser can fill in log information.
Bitwarden: Bitwarden is a dedicated, separate, password manager that stores your vault data in the cloud on Microsoft Azure in the US or EU regions iirc. Bitwarden has zero-knowledge of your passwords or encrypted data. You start with a master password, much like you would with Firefox. That master password is never sent to Bitwarden. Here's where my eyes start to glaze over. LOL It undergoes key stretching using PBKDF2-SHA-256 with 600,000 iterations. This derives a 256-bit master key, which is then expanded via HKDF to a 512-bit stretched master key. A separate 512-bit symmetric key generated by CSPRNG, is encrypted with this stretched key and stored on the servers as your 'protected symmetric key'. Your passwords are individually encrypted using AES-256-CBC with HMAC-SHA256 for integrity, each with its own unique cipher key that's further protected by your symmetric key. When you log in, the master password re-derives the keys client-side to decrypt the protected symmetric key fetched from the server, and decryption happens only in memory and is never written to disk. I'm not going to even pretend to thoroughly understand the process. That's going to take someone way more intelligent than I. LOL
Firefox password system is browser based. Firefox does not mandate a master password like Bitwarden, or at least in the past has not. Firefox stored passwords, as mentioned earlier, are susceptible to Firefox based exploits. Those exploits are not relegated to just Windows platforms, and can happen on Linux and Mac just by visiting a laced up website. Bitwarden is device agnostic and invokes more encrypted protections than it's Firefox counterpart.
To boil the ox down to the bullion cube, Bitwarden, in my humble opinion, gives you more layers of protection than your standard Firefox browser. I like layers. They do add complexity to the situation, but at times, complex layers is just what is required. At the end of the day, it gets down to what you feel comfortable with based on your threat model. Both options offer encryption and security features. Both options are reasonably secure, with Bitwarden being, in my mind, far more secure because it offers more robust layers of complexity. Bitwarden has a fabulous track record of security, and tho there have been previous breaches, none to my knowledge ever revealed any user data.
It has been quite a while since I have used LastPass briefly, so I cannot speak with intelligence about it's operation. I do know that Bitwarden is super easy (for me) to use and in the browser, works like any other password storage option. You can set it to automatically fill in passwords and user names which is a feature I think appeals to those who use Firefox or other browser based password storage systems. However, as I stated, at the end of the day, it all gets down to what aligns with your threat model, and how comfortable you feel using the options you have chosen. For me, Bitwarden offers more layers of protection, and I am a green ogre who likes layers.
Used it for years before switching to bitwarden (because I needed more? I dont remember).
Absolutely usable and maybe the best browser pw Manager.
Also using one is better than none
I recently moved my family from 1Password to Bitwarden. They're not tech savvy at all and haven't really noticed a difference aside from that "the password vault looks different".
Again, they're not tech savvy so they don't really use any specific 1Password features. They're also not constantly adding or removing logins, so Bitwarden has been pretty easy for them.
When is recently?
I checked my email just to be sure. So looks like I migrated my family in August 2024. Ah. Actually, further back than I thought.
So my mom, dad, wife, and me have been using Bitwarden for a little over a year without any issues.
My wife is a macOS user (for now...) and she's totally fine with Bitwarden. She doesn't care about password managers. It's just some random app that saves passwords to her. She probably wouldn't remember if she's using 1Password or Bitwarden. My wife occasionally will add logins to Bitwarden.
My parents were macOS users—now they're on Fedora Silverblue for 2 months!—but they're even less technical than my wife. They don't know what OS they're running or what a password manager app is. They just know wolf icon = internet, shield icon = passwords. They don't add or remove passwords. I added their 5 website logins and that's all they need.
Keeper, myself. Work gives me a free/subsidized family plan so sure I’ll take it.
Definitely better than Lastpass.

But yeah, this is a somewhat tech-savvy solution.
Proton Pass, I use the full suite so it's just convenient. It also has a few nice functions like e-mail aliases and secure password share links.
Let the proton haters come👀.
secure password share links.
That is one of the things that I really wish were on bitwarden
Keepass. I need to figure out a way to securely sync between Android <-> PC.
GNUpass should be very secure too but I need a way to view it on Android.
securely sync between Android <-> PC
Syncthing does the job pretty great for me. Local sync, rather than cloud. As long as your network is secure, you're good
Not just between devices. Between people, too. Super handy to coordinate shared passwords. I use it with my wife for utilities and stuff.
You can also designate other Bitwarden accounts to have the ability to reset your master password, in case of emergency. So my wife has a password she can use to get in there, in case something happens to me. But people can’t do it on the sly, because it’ll notify the account holder of its use.
KeePassXC (Desktop) and KeePassDX (mobile). Offline, local-only password manager. There's also a Firefox browser extension for it too.
If you need it to sync between devices, Syncthing gets the job done by syncing the DB file.
I don't trust any cloud solutions. You're trusting some random company with your passwords. Data breach is inevitable.
This one for me too! I've been very happy.
I try to minimize use of browser extensions, but i have the phone & desktop application. Nextcloud/whatever you run for syncing. I also back up those files through rsync to encrypted volume in a cloud provider (so double encrypted), so that if the worst should happen, I can still access the last version.
It's worth noting that you can manage OTP through it. When you add to your phone's OTP manager, you can also add it to Keepass, so you wont be up shit creek if your phone dies. Personally I would make a separate volume for your OTP, so you retain dual verification, even if someone should gain access to one of the two.

gli inutili pensieri personali noiosi sulla discrepanza uniscolastica dell’octo…
Ultimamente stavo pensando (ahia…), quasi rimuginando a riguardo, per qualche motivo, che questo terzo anno di università, in termini di vibe, in alcuni specifici frangenti mi riporta un po’ al liceo… e non so se è una cosa buona. Mi sono tenuta questa pazzia per un po’, ma veramente più ci penso e più mi sembra valida, quindi eccola qui come al solito per chi non ha paura di subirla… 😈Innanzitutto, l’ambiance. Questa è particolarmente interessante, perché come vibe si divide in più punti, eppure resta consistente con la premessa; tolta l’aula dove si tengono i corsi facoltativi quest’anno, che non mi riporta a nulla di antico:
- Il lunedì mattina, si va nel laboratorio al primo piano… che, quando le tapparelle sono aperte, ed entra la luce, mi riporta spaventosamente all’ora di informatica al liceo; dove, a dire il vero, si faceva forse anche di più di cosa facciamo in questo laboratorio con le due materie di questa mattina… cioè, io faccio le mie robe come allora, e gli altri perdono tempo col telefono o videogiocano in ogni caso come allora, ma il professore lì a scuola non stava solo a spiegare da delle diapositive come qui all’università. Sarà perché anche al liceo il laboratorio di informatica era al primo piano, e non sotterraneo come gli altri laboratori di PC all’università, e più o meno le dimensioni sono comparabili, anziché esagerate con file lunghissime?
- Il giovedì e venerdì mattina, invece, si sta nell’aula normale, alquanto ampia ma fredda di inverno… (me ne sono già lamentata abbastanza, non aggiungerò altro…) come al liceo, finché non accendono i termosifoni, lì a dicembre. Però, come al quinto anno di liceo in particolare la mia era una delle poche aule senza termosifoni, qui all’università questa è una delle poche aule dove i condizionatori sembrano non riuscire a fottutamente funzionare… che è quantomeno curiosa, come corrispondenza. Non bella, ma ci sta.
- Il mercoledì, ad orario di merda purtroppo, come già detto anche questo, ci sono le conferenze delle aziende in un’aula che non è presa a caso, ma è apposta per le conferenze, con una specie di palco seppur non profondo e le sedie a salire… che, con facilità ovvia, riporta subito all’aula magna del liceo, e a tutte le ore felicemente perse (perché erano di mattina, in quel caso) lì dentro nel corso di 5 anni, ad ascoltare la gente yappare per assemblee di istituto o per i soliti eventi con ospiti da fuori. Peccato non abbia lo stesso odore di polvere, e sia molto più piccola, altrimenti le vibe erano veramente spiccicate uguali.
Questa è una foto del laboratorio, comunque… Chi andava al liceo con me E leggerà questo post, cioè nessuno, noterà anche una certa somiglianza per come dalle finestre si vede l’altro fabbricato, con il cortile sotto… che magia… 🤩
Poi, una nota piccola ma importante ci sarebbe da fare sui professori… e questa non è buona, principalmente. Per quanto di personaggioni in questi 2 anni già passati me ne siano capitati, e più volte in passato ho fatto paragoni mentali con alcuni del liceo, con quest’anno siamo veramente ad un bel livello!
- C’è il professore di Android che si incazza se la gente bisbiglia — e oh, in realtà per questo lo rispetto, tecnicamente ha ragionissima — e, per quanto non urli come a scuola invece è prassi, questo suo lamentarsi continuamente del rumore mi fa per forza pensare alle ore di scuola… con la differenza che lì eravamo tutti obbligati a stare, mentre qui, chi non vuole seguire la lezione se ne può andare fuori a parlare; oltre al fatto che il suo è uno dei corsi a scelta, quindi basta.
- C’è poi il professore di non dico quale delle due materie obbligatorie (sia mai ‘sto blog giri proprio quando non voglio, poi succede che me lo sogno la notte…) che, vi giuro, è attualmente il nuovo yapping final boss, definitivo. Per carità, l’anno scorso ne ho avuto uno mooolto peggiore sotto questo punto di vista, e del primo anno non parliamo nemmeno, ma questo… mi appare, fisicamente e come attitudine, un misto tra il prof. di chimica e quello di educazione fisica del liceo, e parla e straparla aggiungendo dettagli superflui quando spiega che è un mal di testa…
Ahimè, le similitudini coi vecchi tempi — dove ero allo stesso tempo più tormentata ma più spensierata, nonché c’è da dire che non era ancora arrivato il mio glow-down, seppure il mio glow-up non c’è mai stato prima e sta arrivando solo ora (…lasciate stare, sono normali paranoie da ragazza magica…) — finiscono qui. O quasi: ero tanto socialmente inetta allora come ora, e tutto sommato ugualmente poco cagata, ma ora è per certi versi anche peggio sotto questo aspetto, come tra l’altro sospettavo prima di iniziare l’università… almeno al tempo c’era nella stessa mia classe gente che conoscevo circa bene e con cui scambiare delle parole di vario tipo, mentre ora no… c’è appena qualcuno in altre classi, in alcuni momenti, che non è per niente la stessa cosa. Ah e, letteralmente dimenticavo… al liceo non c’era nessun piano di studi da presentare, mentre qui mi tocca, ed entro questo venerdì… l’altro ieri pensavo fosse inizio ottobre, mentre invece siamo a metà. Il tempo sta proprio volando!!! 😩
Un’altra cosa nata al liceo e poi svanita è, probabilmente, il sitoctt; Scopri come mai è morto, nel nuovo articolo paradossalmente ma piacevolmente pubblicato sullo stesso sitoctt: sitoctt.octt.eu.org/it/blog/20…. (Messaggio promocttionale, leggere attentamente il foglietto illustrocttivo.)
☠️ Il sitoctt è morto? E altre risposte a domande toste
Chi segue il sitoctt (…sarà mica rimasto qualcuno?) avrà purtroppo notato una certa mancanza di contenuti nell’ormai ultimo anno, su questo sito… e non solo in post, che già da 2 annetti erano decisamente traballanti, ma anche per quanto riguarda var…✨sitoctt✨

Obviously, ignoring security is pervasive, well-established, S.O.P.
Incompetence wins, because it is "normal"?
I read only a sample of this book manning.com/books/secure-by-de… and its whole fundamental understanding is that our world has been using the wrong framing of security, all along.
It isn't paint you put on finished-work, for nice highlights ( my metaphor, not theirs, I'm just trying to communicate the idea of what we've been doing )
Rather, it is a set of concerns that need to be kept-in-mind throughout the entire development-process.
So, more lives will be subject to identity-theft, wrongful-accusation/conviction-of-crimes, robbery, etc, because corporate institutions refused to be responsible..
Will anything make the irresponsible-authorites accountable?
Of course not: establishment protects its own.
Force-altering the framing of secure development, however, that does look like it can make our future investments be significantly less corrupt.
I have not bought that book, I have not read more than some of the sample, I'm not saying it definitively is the understanding we're needing.
I AM saying that what the authors were saying in the part I'd read definitely is on-the-mark about us solving-the-wrong-problem, producing wrong-results ( I'd say pretending to solve problems, as what we keep proving we're doing is fundamentally more-corrupt than merely solving the wrong problem, but .. )
Manning has specials, periodically, so it should be possible to get the ebook for 40%..50% off, if one is patient, & persistent in checking their website.
I want the results we're making to be better.
If anyone knows better means for making our results better, please correct my comment.

Why Signal’s post-quantum makeover is an amazing engineering achievement - Ars Technica
The encryption protecting communications against criminal and nation-state snooping is under threat. As private industry and governments get closer to building useful quantum computers, the algorithms protecting Bitcoin wallets, encrypted web visits, and other sensitive secrets will be useless. No one doubts the day will come, but as the now-common joke in cryptography circles observes, experts have been forecasting this cryptocalypse will arrive in the next 15 to 30 years for the past 30 years.The uncertainty has created something of an existential dilemma: Should network architects spend the billions of dollars required to wean themselves off quantum-vulnerable algorithms now, or should they prioritize their limited security budgets fighting more immediate threats such as ransomware and espionage attacks? Given the expense and no clear deadline, it’s little wonder that less than half of all TLS connections made inside the Cloudflare network and only 18 percent of Fortune 500 networks support quantum-resistant TLS connections. It's all but certain that many fewer organizations still are supporting quantum-ready encryption in less prominent protocols.

One would think that caring about the way israeli hostages are treated would make them treat palestinians humanely.
Some testimonies, and it started way before 2023, e.g. here in 1991, in 2021(, dozens of locations, like Ofer in 2015, or Hebron from 2007 to 2014, and more), with thousands of testimonies(, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...), we just don't interview them(, e.g. recently, only known thanks to social medias that didn't existed a few decades ago).
It's not a question of proving anything, we(sterners) do not care.
It could all be over if Israel refused to deprive other abrahamic religions from these lands where the three religions started, and instead it wants all of them for itself, as well as the destruction of al-Aqsa and everything else, endangering itself by its greed instead of seeking acceptation.
Forcing others into submission is ugly, and Iran&others could accept Israel if offered a win-win situation instead of a unilateral loss. We(sterners) should only offer situations that we would ourselves accept if we were them.
(Christians were supposed to be more ethical/humble/virtuous/.. than muslims, but that was centuries ago anyway, now i should argue that the moderns claim to be more ethical than in the past and should act like it, and we'll pretend that we already are)

in reply to VEGA • • •Bah, je vis pas en Israël, mais perso je pense que leurs médias sont comme en France : certains(, de gauche objectivement,) vont s'offusquer des conditions de détention, et d'autres vont les sous-estimer ou ignorer, en n'y pensant presque pas.
De même qu'aux États-Unis beaucoup auront déjà oublié Guantánamo sans savoir qu'il y avait plein d'autres cas, et sans en avoir rien à faire.
Vraiment, je crois que l'on sous-estime l'impact des médias dans notre jugement des israéliens, j'ai même l'impression que beaucoup doutent de la sincérité de l'Autorité Palestinienne et que ça les arrange de prétendre que la solution à deux états est un leurre.
Qq chose comme ça, mon analyse est bâclée là, mais j'avais rapidement fait une recherche des médias les plus regardés en Israël et beaucoup sont proches de Netanyahou, tu te doutes qu'ils ne vont pas parler du point de vue palestinien, imagine BFM ou CNews parlant des gilets jaunes mais en pire car ici ce sont des "terroristes" qui ne s'arrêteront pas avant d'avoir tué tou.te.s les jui.f.ve.s, et qui connaît le point de vue des terroristes, c'est même illégal de le présenter(, = d'en faire l'apologie). Oui, clairement j'accuse les médias israéliens.

in reply to VEGA • • •Je sais mais non, comme nous ils sont pris dans un narratif, tu crois que les gens sont juste méchants ? Tout le monde se croit être dans le bon camp, rien de nouveau.
C'est pour ça qu'il faut leur parler, enfin bref, je vais pas te prendre la tête là-dessus.
J'avais posté ça récemment si ça t'intéresse, d'autres études montrent que les juifs israéliens se considèrent à 80% les victimes dans le conflit(, dernière page de pcpsr.org/sites/default/files/… ).

Je serais en faveur qu'Israël soit implanté en France à la place, mais là d'un coup tu verrais les français cesser de supporter les israéliens, donc les discours d'antisémitisme sont juste une autre manipulation, enfin pas la peine de t'en convaincre.
D'ailleurs, on pourrait prétendre refuser une implantation en France par respect des préférences israéliennes, mais on refuse aussi de donner un territoire aux musulmans en échange de leur perte de la moitié des Terres Saintes, en fait on s'en fiche d'avoir un échange équilibré/acceptable, c'est juste la loi du plus fort.
(J'ai lu avant-hier cette citation de Julio Escalona sur la futilité des négociations dans certains cas, j'y ai repensé plusieurs fois depuis car elle est bien exprimée. Sans vouloir tout confondre, elle semble appropriée pour le cas palestinien)

(Le livre est bof, je te le conseille pas mais je le cite comme même)
Et tous ces mensonges&manipulations, genre sur le Venezuela actuellement, mais systématiquement à tous les sujets, franchement j'en ai marre, on ne sait pas "gagner" en 'étant franc'/'disant la vérité', notre parole a moins de valeur que celle des criminels.

Le "grand Israël", englobant toute la Palestine, et jusqu'à la Syrie, le Liban, la Jordanie. Voilà leur objectif. Faut écouter les conférences des juifs de coloniaux, qui connaissent bien le problème. Tsedek et l'UJFP.

in reply to VEGA • • •Je viens de voir ça par coïncidence et j'ai pensé à toi, je m'étais dit que toi aussi tu le trouverais peut-être intéressant 🤷, je regarde les autres videos de sa chaîne actuellement
Juste des gens normaux semblant surtout se préoccuper de leur vie personnelle.
Certains répétent que les palestiniens veulent juste tuer des juifs et je me demande depuis quelques semaines quel pourcentage de la population est au courant que l'Autorité Palestinienne insiste pour une solution à deux États depuis longtemps(, presque personne ici ne semblait être au courant alors que c'est un sub dédié, et que ce genre de connaissance est la base, comment peut-on ignorer ça ? Enfin, en vérité je me doute bien que les israéliens sont au courant et que ces gens sur reddit sont juste bizarrement sous-informés malgré leur présence assidue sur ce sous)
Je ne sais pas comment les israéliens justifieraient la colonisation des terres palestiniennes s'il leur avait posé cette question(, edit : ici)(, pas le prétexte de la sécurité, vu que détruire la Palestine n'augmentera pas leur sécurité, que des mesures de sécurité pourraient les protéger, etc.), mais leur réaction de déni surpris aurait peut-être été la même qu'ici.
Tu sais, je trouve que l'on était pas mieux durant les attentats de l'État islamique et que tout le monde prétendait qu'ils étaient juste fous sans se demander pourquoi on se faisait attaquer(, c'était quelques semaines/mois après ça, comment on a pu se démerder pour l'ignorer à plus de 95% ?), c'était une situation différente mais un peu semblable.
D'ailleurs, eux aussi ont été traité de façon affreuse après leur capture, avec plein de victimes civiles présentées comme boucliers humains, et plein d'atrocity propaganda, et les choses habituelles.
Cette fois-là, on applaudissait, et la prochaine fois on recommencera, de même que l'on continuera de soutenir Israël au prochain attentat plutôt que de faire pression pour la création d'un État palestinien.

Edit : oui, ils/elles semblent vraiment croire en majorité que les palestinien·ne·s refusent une solution à deux États, malgré la position claire de l'Autorité Palestinienne maintenue depuis Oslo. Je suis surpris, est-ce qu'une majorité ignore réellement le point de vue de l'Autorité Palestinienne à ce sujet ?
