After Years of Controversy, the EU’s Chat Control Nears Its Final Hurdle: What to Know
Cross posted from: feddit.uk/post/40600495
After a years-long battle, the European Commission’s “Chat Control” plan, which would mandate mass scanning and other encryption-breaking measures, at last codifies agreement on a position within the Council of the EU, representing EU States. The good news is that the most controversial part, the forced requirement to scan encrypted messages, is out. The bad news is there’s more to it than that.
Chat Control has gone through several iterations since it was first introduced, with the EU Parliament backing a position that protects fundamental rights, while the Council of the EU spent many months pursuing an intrusive law-enforcement-focused approach. Many proposals earlier this year required the scanning and detection of illicit content on all services, including private messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Signal. This requirement would fundamentally break end-to-end encryption.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of digital rights groups, including European Digital Rights (EDRi), we won a significant improvement: the Council agreed on its position, which removed the requirement that forces providers to scan messages on their services. It also comes with strong language to protect encryption, which is good news for users.

Israel remains in Eurovision
Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia will boycott next year's Eurovision Song Contest, after Israel was allowed to compete.
They were among a number of countries who had called for Israel to be excluded over the humanitarian toll of the war in Gaza, and accusations of unfair voting practices.
Despite calls for a vote on Israel's participation, members instead approved a new set of rules intended to protect the integrity of the contest.
Ireland's national broadcaster RTE said it felt that its "participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk."
In a statement, Dutch broadcaster Avrotros said that "participation under the current circumstances is incompatible with the public values that are essential to us".
Spanish broadcaster RTVE added: "The board of directors of RTVE agreed last September that Spain would withdraw from Eurovision if Israel was part of it."
"This withdrawal also means that RTVE will not broadcast the Eurovision 2026 final... nor the preliminary semi-finals."

Kagan warns constitutional "violation" in Supreme Court's Texas map ruling
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan warned that the Supreme Court's decision in the Texas redistricting case will lead to a "violation of the Constitution" of voter rights.
The Supreme Court issued an unsigned decision in favor of freezing the initial 2-1 U.S. federal court ruling against Texas Governor Greg Abbott's proposed redistricting map, a stay that could help Republicans pick up five additional U.S. House seats in next year's midterms.
"This Court’s stay ensures that many Texas citizens, for no good reason, will be placed in electoral districts because of their race," Kagan wrote in her dissent. "And that result, as this Court has pronounced year in and year out, is a violation of the Constitution."

China pledges $100m for Gaza as Israeli siege continues to devastate enclave
don't like this
Not at all wierd, China has been a strong supporter of Palestinian liberation for over half a century, and Muslims in China are quite happy. I'm assuming you're referring to the western allegations of genocide in Xinjiang, though there's pretty much no actual evidence for it. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective's Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.
I also recommend reading the UN report and China's response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.
Tourists go to Xinjiang all the time. You can watch , though it obviously isn't going to be a comprehensive view of course.
Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation
Western governments have levied false allegations of genocide and slavery in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. A closer look makes clear that the politicization of China’s anti-terrorism policies in Xinjiang is another front of the U.S.Qiao Collective
From the conclusion of the UN report you linked:
Serious human rights violations have been committed in XUAR in the context of the Government’s application of counter-terrorism and counter-“extremism” strategies. The implementation of these strategies, and associated policies in XUAR has led to interlocking patterns of severe and undue restrictions on a wide range of human rights. These patterns of restrictions are characterized by a discriminatory component, as the underlying acts often directly or indirectly affect Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim communities.
But this is all just whataboutism anyway. We can be against human rights violations regardless of who is doing it and whether they condemn each other.

Investigation ordered after Iraq appears to designate Hezbollah and Houthis terrorists
The apparent designation of Lebanon's Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi movement as terror groups by the Iraqi government sparked confusion and recriminations on Thursday, with authorities later saying the sanctions were announced in error.
The decision, published on 17 November by the justice ministry in the official gazette, surprised many, as the Iraqi government appeared to group the two organisations in the same bracket as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group.
Initially, many saw the designation as a sign that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, whose outgoing government is largely composed of parties with links to Iran, was buckling under American pressure. Little attention was paid to the move until Thursday, however, when news outlets belatedly began to pick up on it.
The controversy prompted questions from observers: were Hezbollah and the Houthis genuinely placed on the list by mistake, or was the government trying to backtrack to curb anger from its allies?

What are your favourite songs discovered this year?
Spotify Wrapped is on the streets now, but rather than everyone saying what a cold algorithm told them their favourite songs were this year, I'd like to hear what actual people actually think.
So what are your favourite musical discoveries this year? Whether those were brand new songs from 2025, older songs that you only heard for the first time this year, or even songs you re-discovered after years of not hearing them.
Here’s some of mine, in the format of a goofy award show:
Favourite New Song From This Year
- Maybe technically cheating because the band has apparently been playing this song live since at least 2023, but the studio version is from this year.
Favourite New Song Actually From This Year
the thoughts that keep me up at night by Marhly - This one makes me feel old, mostly because the artist is that much younger than me. But there’s something about the anxious lyrics that felt very 2025.
Favourite New Song That Really Made Me Feel Old
- Speaking of artists that are way, way younger than me, we have this song. I’m not sure about the warbly vocals in some places, but it’s upbeat and optimistic (like its says on the tin).
Favourite New Song That Made Me Feel Young
Well, Whatever it Was by Joyce Manor - This song feels like it could have come out when I was in high school, but rather than make me feel my age, it put a spring in my step. I didn’t actually listen to much music back then, so maybe I’ve misestimated my musical eras, but I can’t really shake the feeling.
Favourite New Song by a Band That I Saw Live
- Granted, I only went to one concert this year, but still counts, right? I’m not a huge OLP fan, mostly knowing their songs by osmosis, but hearing this song for the first time made me buy a ticket. It was kind of a rebound concert as I had to miss seeing my favourite band on their farewell tour, but I still enjoyed myself, even if they didn’t play this particular song.
Favourite Rediscovered Song
Tornado of Souls by Megadeth - I used to listen to Rust In Peace quite a bit when I was younger, but I kind forgot about it (and most other metal) for the better part of a decade until a new Megadeth song hit my recommendations. That caused me to go back and listen, and reawaken by appreciation for this song.
Favourite Song Discovered Through Weird Coincidence
- This one randomly came up in my wife’s playlist. Neither of us had heard of the band before, but I figure it had something to do with the Ghost songs that we both like.
Favourite New Cover
Folsom Prison Blues by Sawyer Hill - A heavier take on a Johnny Cash song, my first thought when I heard this was, “Boy, they don’t make them like this any more.” Sawyer Hill has an interesting voice, baritone like Cash but more gravelly. Speaking of which…
Favourite New Song That I Liked Purely for a Single Element
- Do I actually like this song? Is this actually a good song? I don't know, but Mr. Hill has a really interesting voice, so I’m willing to forgive some lyrics that feel a bit too cute. I do understand if his voice drives people away, though; what I’ve gathered is that some people really cannot stand it.
Favourite New Song With the Hardest Hitting Lyric
Troubadour Moon by The Wildhearts - “It’s a bitch when you find out you’re just an ordinary man.” Oof.
Favourite New Song That Really Has Me Hoping the Artist Isn’t Problematic
- I kid (mostly), but it is southern rock. I haven’t found anything problematic about Ms. Fish, thankfully, but I also haven’t dug too far.
Favourite New Song Discovered Through Lemmyvision
Band LIke That by fanclubwallet - I submitted a bunch of songs for my country’s entry in Lemmyvision. None of them got many votes, but I did discover this one submitted by someone else.

A New Anonymous Phone Carrier Lets You Sign Up With Nothing but a Zip Code
Nicholas Merrill received a hand delivered National Security Letter from the FBI in 2004, ordering him to give up data on one of his customers.
Merrill opened it and read the letter while the agent waited. The first and second paragraphs told him he was hereby ordered to hand over virtually all information he possessed for one of his customers, identified by their email address, explaining that this demand was authorized by a law he’d later learn was part of the Patriot Act.
The third paragraph informed him he couldn’t tell anyone he’d even received this letter—a gag order.
He then fought a landmark, decade-plus legal battle against the FBI and the Department of Justice. As the owner of an internet service provider in the post-9/11 era, Merrill had received a secret order from the bureau to hand over data on a particular user—and he refused. He refused and won.
After that, he spent another 15 years building and managing the Calyx Institute, a nonprofit that offers privacy tools like a snooping-resistant version of Android and a free VPN that collects no logs of its users’ activities.
Now the completely anonymous phone service. The full article is worth the read.

Il Duo per l’occasione si trasforma spesso e volentieri in un trio, con l’aggiunta del batterista John Jeffrey a dare nuova linfa a quei ritmi densi e corposi, sempre in bilico tra kraut rock e psichedelia, che sono un po’ il marchio di fabbrica della band. “Shadow Of The Sun” è stato registrato durante un periodo di insolita calma, lontano da concerti, tour e dall’adrenalina che dà spostarsi di continuo. Nove tracce nate dentro un seminterrato di Portland (Oregon) che spiegano meglio di tante parole lo strano sentimento che si prova a stare fermi dopo aver tanto viaggiato, quando la voglia di riposare è tanta ma il desiderio di ripartire è già nato e si fa sentire... artesuono.blogspot.com/2015/03…

Hardware resources usage over time ?
Hi,
I'm looking for a FLOSS way to have hardware resources usage ( cpu, mem, storage, network, etc.. ) over time ?
Any lightweight solution suggestion ?
It can be TUI or GUI ( XFCE )
It could be nice also to can filter result/graph by process, user etc..
Thanks
Here's an actual answer, a system monitor with historical data: beszel.dev/
It's a webUI but that shouldn't really matter vs an app with its own GUI.

Do you know if we can filter the historical data on pid, uid ?

Nightreign on Mint is really framey compared to Windows
Posting here because I don't know any other decent communities to ask.
I'm running Mint on a fairly beefy PC that was top spec in 2022. I started with Windows then added another SSD for Linux. I went with Mint but overall I've found games to be a bit lackluster on here.
The main one is Elden Ring: Nightreign. It runs buttery smooth on Windows, but on the same PC using Linux it gets a little choppy and almost unplayable if I'm in a round with others.
I've noticed other issues like Arc Raiders is meant to work well on Linux but was an unplayable mess for me.
I'm just doing everything through Steam so nothing weird or hacky going on, I have a laptop with Bazzite I use to get games from Myabandonware running and it has been fine by comparison.
Are there any extra programs or dependencies I should download? Or should I just switch to Bazzite given I'm gaming and running a Nvidia card? I got into Linux after building this PC so I didn't know AMD was better for Linux at the time. Building this PC showed me how to install an OS on a computer so it was the start of the rabbithole for me in a way.
I know there isn't a lot of details on specs here, but I'm more wondering if there's anything more I should do on a non-gaming focused distro or if it's easier to just switch.

Pentagon announces it has killed four men in another boat strike in Pacific
The latest strike was the first in nearly three weeks. It comes as the Pentagon and the White House have struggled to answer questions about the legal basis for the campaign to kill suspected drug smugglers with military strikes, with US lawmakers promising to investigate the first such attack, in September, in which two survivors clinging to wreckage were killed in a follow-on strike.Hegseth has faced increasing scrutiny over the 2 September strike following a report from the Washington Post that the defense secretary had verbally directed the military to "kill them all". On Thursday, a Democratic lawmaker introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth, pointing to the boat strike and a report that found he broke rules by sharing information about an attack on Signal, but such an effort is unlikely to succeed.

Greek unions reaffirm solidarity with Palestine after West Bank visit
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6931655
cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/1138…
The All-Workers’ Militant Front organized a solidarity visit to trade unions in the West Bank, witnessing firsthand the violence faced by Palestinian workers under occupation.The post Greek unions reaffirm solidarity with Palestine after West Bank visit appeared first on Peoples Dispatch.
Around the time the so-called ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was announced, the Greek All-Workers’ Militant Front (PAME) organized a solidarity visit to trade unions in Palestine. During their trip, PAME’s delegation met with labor organizations in the West Bank and traveled to refugee camps and communities that face regular attacks by Israeli settlers.
The delegation, which included PAME Secretariat member Giorgos Perros and Markos Bekris from the dockworkers’ organization ENEDEP, witnessed firsthand the daily reality of workers in the West Bank. “Every day, at the checkpoints of the army of the murderous state of Israel, thousands of Palestinians are subjected to humiliating inspections, waiting for hours in the heat or cold just to reach their workplace,” PAME described. “Every day they risk their lives under the barrel of a gun, struggling to earn a day’s wage to feed their families.”
Since the beginning of the genocide, PAME added, unemployment in the West Bank has reached roughly 70%. As Israel continues to deny work permits to Palestinian workers, many have been left with no option but to attempt risky crossings in search of occasional work. Several workers have been killed, and many more injured, trying to bypass the apartheid wall erected by Israeli authorities, including during the delegation’s visit, as documented by the media organization 902.gr.
The trade unionists also collected testimonies from agricultural workers and farmers whose land continues to be confiscated by Israeli authorities or seized by settlers, as well as from people from refugee camps, violently expelled from their homes and forced into schools or other makeshift shelters. This pattern of violence only escalated throughout the genocide and has continued despite the ceasefire announcement.
“The unrelenting, murderous attacks, even after the so-called ‘truce’ of October 10, 2025, with a gun held to the head of the Palestinian people, show that the crime has never stopped,” PAME wrote in a declaration published on November 29, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. “The working class and the people of Greece stand on the right side of history, against the slaughterhouses and wars of the imperialists, asserting the inalienable right of all peoples to live in peace in their own homeland.”

in reply to Babalugats • • •The truth is, the fascists will always relentlessly find another crevice to stick their dirty hands into. A compromise with fascists isn't a win - it's a defeat with extra steps. Their so called "risk mitigation" is essentially another way in achieving the exact same thing from another angle.
That being said; the war continues. And while it is good that we avoided this policy - we'll never actually win until we change something.
