Bulldozed, crushed and buried — fate of missing aid-seekers

What Skwawkbox-Canary and other independent news outlets, together with local journalists and international activists have been reporting for months, has finally made it into the ‘mainstream’ media. A CNN ‘investigation‘ ‘revealed’ that the Israeli military bulldozed some of the bodies of aid-seekers slaughtered at so-called ‘aid’ stations into unmarked Gaza mass graves. Others were simply left […]

Canada literally occupies unceded land right now.

And as I commented in another thread - I believe in response to your post - we can either collectively acknowledge the true and full cost of rectifying this situation, including fairly compensating those who are affected, or we can stick our heads in the sand and pretend that me and my kids, who were born in this country no differently than indigenous families and who know no other home, are expected to destroy our lives in service of the wrongs of the past.

If private property is affected, then the displaced people need to be fairly compensated. In general the impact on everyone needs to be considered in the calculus. I opened my eyes for the first time in this country, just like everyone else born here did, regardless of what atrocious actions were committed by those in the past. I have nowhere to go, this is my home as much as it is anyone else's.

If we don't acknowledge these facts willingly and openly i fear we will be forced to acknowledge them unwillingly.

I'm going to talk about private land exclusively.

What happened in the past is the government appropriated the land, it seems at the very least unethically, and then sold it to private interests. Somewhere along the line an innocent citizen bought the land thinking it was freehold or otherwise was the owner's land to sell. It seems that now the land is being expropriated.

If it was never the government's land to sell, and the courts have ruled in that way, then the government needs to compensate the people to whom the land was sold.

This cost needs to be considered by the government when they negotiate with FN groups. It is the true and total cost of reconciliation. If it is excluded then it will cause enormous dissatisfaction with the entire exercise of reconciliation, and it will eventually destroy the program. If the goal is harmonious coexistence, this will be unachievable if some of the victims - and they are also victims - are pushed out and ignored.

My other adjacent point is that a full cost and schedule for reconciliation must be made clear to everyone, so that all stakeholders can understand the objective and agree on the end goal.

Let’s be clear about what you are actually saying here. You are describing the privatization of stolen land as if it were a simple matter of unfortunate paperwork. The government did not simply unethically appropriate the land. The settlers orchestrated a campaign of displacement and genocide, then laundered the loot through property deeds to create a class of settlers whose innocence is built on that foundational violence. That citizen did not buy freehold land. They bought a fantasy, a clean title washed in the blood of the original people who were murdered or removed from it. The courts are not handing down philosophical rulings. They are finally, begrudgingly, acknowledging a truth that Indigenous people have never stopped stating which is that the land was never Canada's to sell.

Your entire argument hinges on the moral panic of the settler who feels cheated. But where is your panic for the people who were cheated of everything? You call for the government to compensate the buyer, to make the settler whole, but this just completes the cycle of colonial logic. It says the ultimate victim of theft is the one who ended up holding the stolen goods, not the people who were robbed in the first place. You call them also victims. They're not victims, they are the beneficiaries. Unwitting perhaps, but beneficiaries nonetheless of a system that granted them property through ethnic cleansing. Reconciliation priced on making those beneficiaries happy is not reconciliation. It is the perpetuation of the same power dynamic with a polite apology attached.

When you demand a full cost and schedule, you are talking about a budget for justice. You want to put a ceiling on what is owed. But true reconciliation isn't a government program you can sabotage with stakeholder dissatisfaction. It is the unfinished business of dismantling a colonial project. If the current property owner is compensated, that is a cost of doing business for a state that built itself on theft. It is not a debt owed to the public by Indigenous people. The goal is not harmonious coexistence built on a ledger that balances the comfort of settlers against the rights of nations. The goal is justice, and justice is inherently disruptive to the unjust peace that has existed here for centuries. You cannot put a timeline on decolonization. The only thing that needs to be made clear is that the era of pretending these lands were ever legitimately Canada's to give away is over.

You can wrap it in as many words as you want. What you are saying is that I, and others like me, who were born here just like you were, and just like indigenous people were have less of a claim to this country as their homeland. This is the basis that seems to allow you to justify taking away the lives of other people.

The goal can only be harmonious coexistence, or it will be doomed to fail. If your project is built on the destruction of the lives of others, then it will not succeed.

I will say again - I first opened my eyes in this country. It is my home and I know no other. I and FN peoples are the same in this regard. I am not special nor do I hold an exalted position over you, and neither do you over me. In the end I'm putting demands on the government to recognize the true and full cost of reconciliation. I'm not putting demands on FN people. I'm not sure why you feel aggrieved that I've identified another group that is being impacted by this project.

You are asking for people to sacrifice to right the wrongs of the past. I want to do this, and others do to. But if you treat them as lesser and don't try to understand the impacts on them, and you invoke academic concepts to justify why they should just 'suck it up', you're going to be unsuccessful. Eventually you have to live with these people. And like I said before, they are no different than you, no less and no more.

This is not about wrapping anything in words. It's about confronting the central lie you are telling yourself. You are conflating birthplace with historical claim. Being born on stolen land does not grant you the same claim as the people from whom it was stolen. That is the brutal fact of colonial history. You opened your eyes here. But the people we displaced had their eyes open here for thousands of years before you had your epiphany. To pretend those two facts are equivalent is the foundation of the injustice.

You keep talking about harmonious coexistence as the only goal. But you are demanding that this harmony be built on your terms, on the continued denial of the original crime. You want reconciliation to be a polite transaction that leaves your sense of home and ownership undisturbed. That's just perpetuation of a settlement that never ended. True coexistence begins with the uncomfortable truth that your homeland is built on the homeland of another, and that reality demands more than just a budgetary line item.

You say you are putting demands on the government, not on First Nations. But you are. Your demand is that the government prioritize compensating settlers as the true and full cost before anything else. You are framing settler dissatisfaction as the primary risk to the project. That is a direct demand on Indigenous people to wait, to accept less, to once again watch as the state manages the feelings of the beneficiaries before addressing the rights of the dispossessed. You have identified another impacted group, yes. But you have placed them at the front of the line for justice, ahead of the people who were robbed. That is why there is grievance.

No one is asking you to suck it up. You need you to wake up and understand that your personal connection to this land does not erase the collective, unbroken connection of the nations that were here first. The question is who has already sacrificed everything and who is now being asked to share a fraction of what was gained through that loss. You say we all must live together. We do. And living together means finally building a shared home where the foundation isn't the myth that we all started here with the same claim. We didn't. Justice starts when we stop pretending that we did.

Nobody has any claim to any land. So if being born here gives no one the right why do Indiginous have the right? They stole the land from others before them. And there is no guarantee that they would have the land still if left alone. Reality is one tribe would have started taking over / killing the others.

Ah, the classic we're all just squatters on a rock defense. This is the intellectual equivalent of throwing a smoke bomb and hoping no one notices you're trying to justify a very specific and recent theft by invoking a vague, ahistorical free-for-all. Let's unpack your masterclass in bad faith.

First, the statement nobody has any claim to any land is a philosophical thought experiment for freshman ethics seminars, not a serious framework for modern justice. If you genuinely believed that, you wouldn't be paying a mortgage or respecting property lines. You'd be trying to plant a flag in your neighbor's backyard. But you don't. You only trot out this radical nihilism when it's time to dismiss Indigenous sovereignty, because applying it universally would immediately collapse the society you benefit from.

Then we get to the core of the argument, the whole they did it too school of history. Sure, conflict and displacement happened between pre colonial societies. To then equate that with the organized, state-sanctioned project of genocide, land theft, and cultural eradication enacted by European empires is so laughably dishonest it borders on parody. It's like saying a bar fight and the Normandy invasion are the same because both involve violence. The scale, intent, and lasting structural power are so fundamentally different that only someone desperate to avoid accountability would conflate them.

Your hypothetical about one tribe taking over if left alone is pure fantasy, a just-so story you've invented to make colonialism seem inevitable. It's not history. It's fan fiction for the apologist. You're judging real people who suffered a documented catastrophe against your imaginary scenario of what might have happened, and then using your own fiction to wash your hands of the real consequences. This is the ultimate colonial mindset, projecting your own violent assumptions onto other cultures to make their dispossession seem like a natural event rather than a deliberate crime.

The punchline, of course, is that this entire line of reasoning only ever flows one way. It's only ever used to undermine Indigenous claims. You never apply this nobody has a claim logic to the current title holder, the corporation, or the state. Their deed, derived directly from that original theft, is somehow treated as sacred. So your whole philosophy is a sham. The goal isn't to debate land claims. It's to freeze the current distribution of power, which you benefit from, by pretending all claims are equally invalid except, conveniently, the one that gives you your house. It's a shell game of morality where you get to keep the prize and call everyone else a hypocrite for wanting it back. 🤡

You didn't read, or chose not to understand, what I wrote, likely because you've decided who I am and have responsed to your own construct.

For one I never said it wasn't going to impact private property owners, nor did I say I diidn't expect it to. What I am saying is if you see this as a zero sum game and refuse to acknowledge the injustice and pain that will be caused to other parties in this process, and you refuse to demand (or at the very least actively obstruct) government recompense to other injured parties then I would caution that you are not headed in a constructive direction.

You're asking others to put aside their hate and move in a positive direction, but it doesn't sound like you're willing to do it. Thankfully I have hope that you are not representative.

I don't care about history with respect to claims of homeland. This country is not more yours than mine. I don't expect you to buy my cultural heritage or ancestry, and you can't expect me to do it either. You don't have a magical connection to the land - you took your first breath here and so did I. With respect to native land, this is ours, not just yours. There is a broken contract that needs to be reconciled, but this does not dictate who has more of a right to live here. If you can't accept that then you are definitely going to gave a hard time, particularly since I'm broadly a supporter of reconciliation and you can't even find a way to connect with me.

Edit I also said nothing about prioritizing one claim over another, or one compensation over another. I ask that you seriously reflect on what you've assumed about me.

I directly addressed the points you were attempting to make. What you're saying is that you think your needs are more important than those of Indigenous people whose land you occupy. It's very clear what you're actually saying despite all the sophistry you're using. You are a supporter of reconciliation entirely on your terms, that's not what reconciliation is.

Your whole argument is inherently premised on prioritizing one claim over another. The fact that you don't even understand the implications of what you said yourself is frankly hilarious.

I never said prioritizing. I said both expropriation if appropriate, but also compensation to those who lost land. I said both.

You clearly think of all of the people like me as second class citizens, at least with respect to homeland. But generally, you do not consider the people on the other side to be equals with their own value and their own pain. You have made it clear in the way you insult me and call me a clown, and misinterpret what I say. I have not insulted you once.

You seem to believe that this is a zero sum game and we must lose so you can win. I will not be able to understand that position. It will only lead to worse outcomes.

See, you're just doing projecting here because you very clearly see First Nations people as second class citizens whose rights are superseded by your own. Nobody is misinterpreting anything you said here.

This is not going anywhere. I've made it clear that I don't think of anyone as second class, I never diminished FN claims, and I think I was abundantly clear about what I was asserting, so any implying that you see is entirely of your own making.

You don't trust me and you are obviously not willing to understand me. There's nothing here to discuss. I gave my honest and forthright concerns and you see it as an attack.

The top court of the United Nations ruled on Friday that it would take up the question of whether Ukraine committed genocide in its Donetsk and Luhansk regions, an accusation at the heart of Russia’s argument for its 2022 full-scale invasion.

No convictions, just accusations from Russia

Ukraine at least follows geneva conventions regarding POWs (not killing surrendered soldiers, fair treatment, no torture, etc) unlike Russia which attacks civilians (apartments, hospitals, schools, grocery stores, etc), killing their own for not going on suicide missions, Russian commanders stealing money from the ones sent on suicide missions.

This is way too brief and lacks any actual evidence for its argument
It doesn't touch on the main argument of AI bubble forecasters: that AI costs a massive amount of money to develop and run but does not make nearly enough money to recoup that investment. And people don't seem to be interested enough in AI to actually pay for it, especially given that the actual price will be very high

I pay for it. One of the services I pay is about $25/mo and they release about one update a year or so. It's not cutting edge, just specialized. And they are making a profit doing a bit of tech investment and running the service, apparently. But also they are just tuning and packaging a publicly available model, not creating their own.

What can't be sustained is this sprint to AGI or to always stay at the head of the pack. It's too much investment for tiny gains that ultimately don't move the needle a lot. I guess if the companies all destroy one another until only one remains, or someone really does attain AGI, they will realize gains. I'm not sure I see that working out, though.

So they can be profitable because the cost of creating that model isn’t factored in, and if people stop throwing money at LLMs and stop releasing models for free, there goes their business model. So this is not really sustainable either.

The people releasing public models aren't the ones doing this for profit. Mostly. I know OpenAI and DeepSeek both have. Guess I'll have to go look up who trained GLM, but I suspect the resources will always be there to push the technology forward at a slower pace. People will learn to do more with less resources and that's where the bulk of the gains will be made.

Edit: A Chinese university trained GLM. Which is the sort of place where I expect research will continue to be done.

A startup spun out by a university (z.ai). Their business model is similar to what everybody else does, they host their models and sell access while trying to undercut each other. And like others they raised billions in funding from investors to be able to do this.

The model is publicly available. You and I can run it — I do. People will continue to do research long after the bubble bursts. People will continue to make breakthroughs. The technology will continue forward, just at a slower, healthier pace once the money tightens up.

An economic bubble isn't when something is fake and ceases to exist when the bubble bursts.

We use the term when the market is inflated way beyond its value.

A bubble bursting is when people realize the market is inflated way beyond its value and pull out, leaving debt-ridden companies to their debt.

Some go bankrupt, stock prices fall, economy news outlets insist nobody could have predicted this, investments go elsewhere, people are laid off, and the people responsible fail upward to another grift.

After spinning up some LLMs and image generating tools, I realized the hardware consumes a lot of electricity, and even 12GB VRAM sometimes wasn't enough. On top of that, these AI programs also use a lot of system RAM. Now imagine being a big company like OpenAI or Grok with millions of users. How much GPU power and electricity would it take to keep their service running? That's why these companies are seeking lots of investment.

Not a bubble because: it actually uses the amount of energy they claim? No one thinks they're lying about that.

these AI investors know what they're doing

LOOOOLOLOL. I think there are some initial investors who, in the beginning, legitimately thought it would be a good deal. At this point, the investments are driven by hype, and investors know they are, but they're gambling that they can ride it to the top without being caught holding the bag. That's why it will collapse violently. Because the moment it starts going down, everyone is going to dump it.

Of course, AI-generated content is polluting the internet like never before. But the problem is that you still like or share these AI slop, making them go viral.

Okay so we're now: changing the topic entirely, while blaming users for the poisoning of the information database that is the internet.

This is it. Bubbles happen BECAUSE investors know what they are doing. They ride the bubble hard, hoping to get out just before it pops. The later you jump, the more you gain. Unless you jump too late.

All this, including the popping of the bubble, is done on purpose.

Hard disagree, at some point investors are going to start asking these AI companies when they will be done burning cash and when the profits will start rolling in. Arguably OpenAI is already starting to see these concerns. If the US gets a new government at some stage there might be enough political will to draw a line in the sand with NVidia and tell them to stop manipulating markets. Finally there may be some pushback against datacenters literally killing the areas they are built in. What we are seeing is a fraud against the world originating from a group of hyper rich arseholes that may last a surprisingly long time, but eventually they will need to pay the piper.

I did have someone tell me this has all the hallmarks of the space race. We are going to see enormous amounts of efforts and resources thrown into AI only for these pioneers to realise there is no clear way to monetise at which point all that energy will be redirected, until then China keeps on egging the US on to make them increasingly commit more and more of their economy to a concept that is going to be a lead anchor on the country left holding the bag.

Hegseth Defends Boat Bombings as New Details Further Undermine Administration's Justifications

cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/1217…

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday defended the Trump administration's policy of bombing suspected drug-trafficking vessels even as new details further undermined the administration's stated justifications for the policy.
According to the Guardian, Hegseth told a gathering at the Ronald Reagan presidential library that the boat bombings, which so far have killed at least 87 people, are necessary to protect Americans from illegal drugs being shipped to the US.
"If you’re working for a designated terrorist organization and you bring drugs to this country in a boat, we will find you and we will sink you," Hegseth said. "Let there be no doubt about it."
However, leaked details about a classified briefing delivered to lawmakers last week by Adm. Frank Bradley about a September 2 boat strike cast new doubts on Hegseth's justifications.
CNN reported on Friday that Bradley told lawmakers that the boat taken out by the September 2 attack was not even headed toward the US, but was going "to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname," a small nation in the northeast of South America.
While Bradley acknowledged that the boat was not heading toward the US, he told lawmakers that the strike on it was justified because the drugs it was carrying could have theoretically wound up in the US at some point.
Additionally, NBC News reported on Saturday that Bradley told lawmakers that Hegseth had ordered all 11 men who were on the boat targeted by the September 2 strike to be killed because "they were on an internal list of narco-terrorists who US intelligence and military officials determined could be lethally targeted."
This is relevant because the US military launched a second strike during the September 2 operation to kill two men who had survived the initial strike on their vessel, which many legal experts consider to be either a war crime or an act of murder under domestic law.
Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, watched video of the September 2 double-tap attack last week, and he described the footage as “one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service.”
“Any American who sees the video that I saw will see its military attacking shipwrecked sailors,” Himes explained. “Now, there’s a whole set of contextual items that the admiral explained. Yes, they were carrying drugs. They were not in position to continue their mission in any way... People will someday see this video and they will see that that video shows, if you don’t have the broader context, an attack on shipwrecked sailors.”
While there has been much discussion about the legality of the September 2 double-tap strike in recent days, some critics have warned that fixating on this particular aspect of the administration's policy risks taking the focus off the illegality of the boat-bombing campaign as a whole.
Daphne Eviatar, director for security and human rights for Amnesty International USA, said on Friday that the entire boat-bombing campaign has been "illegal under both domestic and international law."
"All of them constitute murder because none of the victims, whether or not they were smuggling illegal narcotics, posed an imminent threat to life," she said. "Congress must take action now to stop the US military from murdering more people in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific."

Billionaire Palantir Co-Founder Pushes Return of Public Hangings as Part of 'Masculine Leadership' Initiative

cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/1218…

Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, a co-founder of data platform company Palantir, is calling for the return of public hangings as part of a broader push to restore what he describes as "masculine leadership" to the US.
In a statement posted on X Friday, Lonsdale said that he supported changing the so-called "three strikes" anti-crime law to ensure that anyone who is convicted of three violent crimes gets publicly executed, rather than simply sent to prison for life.
"If I’m in charge later, we won’t just have a three strikes law," he wrote. "We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes. And yes, we will do it in public to deter others."
Lonsdale then added that "our society needs balance," and said that "it's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable."
Lonsdale's views on public hangings being necessary to restore "masculine leadership" drew swift criticism.
Gil Durán, a journalist who documents the increasingly authoritarian politics of Silicon Valley in his newsletter "The Nerd Reich," argued in a Saturday post that Lonsdale's call for public hangings showed that US tech elites are "entering a more dangerous and desperate phase of radicalization."
"For months, Peter Thiel guru Curtis Yarvin has been squawking about the need for more severe measures to cement Trump's authoritarian rule," Durán explained. "Peter Thiel is ranting about the Antichrist in a global tour. And now Lonsdale—a Thiel protégé—is fantasizing about a future in which he will have the power to unleash state violence at mass scale."
Taulby Edmondson, an adjunct professor of history, religion, and culture at Virginia Tech, wrote in a post on Bluesky that the rhetoric Lonsdale uses to justify the return of public hangings has even darker intonations than calls for state-backed violence.
"A point of nuance here: 'masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable' is how lynch mobs are described, not state-sanctioned executions," he observed.
Theoretical physicist Sean Carroll argued that Lonsdale's remarks were symbolic of a kind of performative masculinity that has infected US culture.
"Immaturity masquerading as strength is the defining personal characteristic of our age," he wrote.
Tech entrepreneur Anil Dash warned Lonsdale that his call for public hangings could have unintended consequences for members of the Silicon Valley elite.
"Well, Joe, Mark Zuckerberg has sole control over Facebook, which directly enabled the Rohingya genocide," he wrote. "So let’s have the conversation."
And Columbia Journalism School professor Bill Grueskin noted that Lonsdale has been a major backer of the University of Austin, an unaccredited liberal arts college that has been pitched as an alternative to left-wing university education with the goal of preparing "thoughtful and ethical innovators, builders, leaders, public servants and citizens through open inquiry and civil discourse."

What all would you do to set up Ubuntu as a NAS?

I’ve used OpenMediaVault for years and liked it, but I’m just exploring some other options. I’ve got a new system with a Ryzen 370 and 890m iGPU, which Debian is fighting me on getting working. Meanwhile it looks like AMD is treating Ubuntu as a first class citizen for support. Just considering options, maybe Ubuntu plus Cockpit to abstract all the admin stuff?

in reply to chazwhiz • 1 settimana fa • •

For a NAS, like, storage on the network, keep it as simple and as reliable as possible,, so avoid Ubuntu and go to the core underlying OS: Debian.

Then just build up the functionality you need, is SMB, NFS, etc.

Personally, I went from OMV to a home built NAS, but went with Arch as that's what I use elsewhere (btw), so am comfortable with it, but it's bleeding edge which isn't always the best if some functionality changes when you're not ready for it.

If you're going for a server running lots of containers, etc, then find whatever the container handler (docker?) is best on... I just put everything on bare metal, so can't advise what's best for containers... probably Debian again...

But, keep it simple.

in reply to chazwhiz • 1 settimana fa • •

Yup! Considering that cpu, debian will be painful, but ubuntu as a server is asking for trouble. Look for fedora server, for the love of god even an arch server. Do your future self a favor and avoid that grilled roadkill that is ubuntu.

Fedora server comes with cockpit if thsts what you want.

For the 370, fedora works well.

Pinch of salt- i got burned too many times with ubuntu server, I run an extensive homelab and I'm a regular at the burns ward. I loathe ubuntu with the energy of a Wolf-Rayet star.

"Yes"

Where i used to work we had a lot of Chinese students in the city, with varying degrees of skill with English. No problem, English is my main but also not my first language. This story is from about 20 years ago.

A customer comes in for help with their computer. I ask my troubleshooting questions to triage the problem.

"My computer can't connect to the Internet"

OK what happens when you try?

"Nothing"

At home, at work?

"At home"

Have you checked all the connections?

"Yes"

Restarted everything? PC, router?

"Yes"

Have you contacted your ISP?

"Yes"

And?

"No problem"

OK do you see link lights on the network socket?

"Yes"

Is it just websites? Are you having problems with email, MSN messenger or Skype or any other chat clients?

"Yes"

(We are at this for a good 10 minutes but I'll skip the unnecessary bits)

Have you tried a new network cable?

"Yes"

OK bring it in, we can test it here for you.

"Oh but it works in Starbucks"

What? You mean its a laptop? Wireless?

"Yes"

And you connect wirelessly at home too?

"Yes"

But you said.. the cable, the link lights?

"Yes"

And then it hits me. Waves of memories wash over me. My Japanese father talking to clients, head bobbing up and down constantly nodding and bowing.

"Hai, hai, hai, haaaa, hai, hai, kashikomarimashita"

Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh yes. Yes. Yes. I understand.

Yes in japanese doesn't necessarily mean "correct". We say it to show we're listening and being attentive, following the conversation. Yes doesn't always mean "yes that's right", it can means "yes please continue". And now I assume its similar in Chinese too. Like in English you might say "aw yeah! Aw hell yeah!" while listening to a story.

Right. Forget everything we've just said and start from the beginning.

Can you see your SSID in the list at home?

"Yes"

(Fuck. Thats on me)

And what name is your SSID in the list when you connect at home?

"[ISP]-XYZ123"

OK good and...

The elections regulator’s director of compliance and enforcement said in an affidavit that Mr. Mraiche was being investigated in connection with an alleged straw donor scheme – an illegal practice in which an individual circumvents donation limits by providing money through others.
“Mr. Mraiche is alleged to have given funds to other people for the purpose of having those people make contributions to a registered party,” Diane Brauer, the official, said. The alleged donations were made in the two months prior to the May, 2023, provincial election, according to her affidavit, which was filed in support of the contempt request.

Besides Mraiche joining the UCP's Smith in a hotel suite to watch provincial election results in May 2023, and the Edmonton Oilers hockey games with the notorious skybox photo, keep in mind that Mraiche has also allegedly been tied to McFee, Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis, and Dr. Jayan Nagendran.

Russia’s war against Ukraine

Explosions reported in Kremenchuk as Russia launches barrage of missiles, drones towards central Ukraine. Russian forces launched a large-scale attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk overnight on Dec. 6, officials reported.

‘Happy Ukrainian Armed Forces Day’ — hackers deface website of Russian company delivering military goods, HUR source claims. The cyberattack took down over 700 computers and servers and deleted accounts of more than 1,000 Eltrans+ users, HUR claimed.

End to war ‘depends on Russia’s commitment to peace,’ Ukraine, US agree. Over the course of 2025, Ukraine has repeatedly agreed to ceasefire proposals put forward by the White House. Russia has refused to agree to a single one.

Zelensky reports ‘long and substantive call‘ with Witkoff, Kushner. “Ukraine is determined to keep working in good faith with the American side to genuinely achieve peace. We agreed on the next steps and formats for talks with the United States,” Zelensky wrote on Dec. 6.

Ukraine will not accept any peace deal requiring territorial concessions, Syrskyi tells UK broadcaster. “There are no pauses, no delays in (Russia’s) operations. They keep pushing their troops forward to seize as much of our territory as possible under the cover of negotiations,” Syrskyi said.

Chornobyl protective shield ‘lost its primary safety functions’ after Russian drone strike, UN nuclear agency warns. Russia’s drone strike caused a fire that burned the outer cladding of the shelter.

G7, EU mull ban on Russian oil maritime services, but experts sceptical. If the ban goes through, Russia would likely have to expand its shadow fleet to transport crude oil instead.

Abu Shabab’s death signals the inevitable failure of Israel’s plan for Gaza

Throughout the war, Abu Shabab’s name was synonymous with collaboration with Israel. He was a key partner in Gaza in securing safe passage for Israeli troops, searching for Israeli captives, killing Palestinian resistance members, and, most infamously, looting aid trucks. Before he was killed, Abu Shabab was reportedly being considered for the position of governor of Rafah to be appointed by Israel.
His death deals a massive blow to Israel’s efforts to establish a new Palestinian administration in Gaza that responds to its wishes and oppresses the Palestinians. It is yet another proof that the Palestinian people will never accept colonial rule.

The pincer movement of authoritarianism: Europe is under pressure from Trump & Putin at a crossroads

They once formed opposing poles of the political world order, but today the US and Russia speak almost the same language – especially when it comes to Europe.

The fact that the government of Donald Trump, of all people, speaks of censorship of free speech in Europe, while imposing draconian penalties on universities, firing employees who display rainbow flags, denigrating the free press as “enemies of the people,” calling female journalists who ask questions “pigsties,” and actively promoting disinformation technologies—this demonstrates the perfidy of the argument.

In a reversal of perpetrator and victim typical of modern authoritarian movements, the US is now blaming European governments for the poor relations with Russia

When Musk joined Trump, countries rolled out the red carpet for Starlink

On April 7, Muhammad Yunus, chief adviser of Bangladesh, sent Trump an urgent letter. He listed all the ways that his country was trying to comply with Trump’s agenda and asked him to delay tariffs. The note included a curious addition: “We have executed the necessary steps to launch Starlink in Bangladesh.”
Since Starlink launched its first satellites in 2019, the internet provider owned by billionaire Elon Musk has attempted to expand into markets around the world, often facing regulatory red tape in doing so. But with Musk playing a high-profile role in Trump’s White House from January through May, Yunus and other leaders seemed to recognize that accommodating Starlink could be one means of appeasing the new administration.
The same day Yunus sent his letter, Starlink applied for a license with the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission. Three weeks after Yunus’ letter to Trump, the BTRC approved Starlink’s application. The service launched in Bangladesh the following month.
Bangladesh became the latest country around the world to expedite its regulatory approval process for satellite internet providers while Musk took part in Trump’s second administration. During the first five months of the year — as Musk assumed his lead role in the Department of Government Efficiency — Starlink announced it had become available in at least 13 countries, while its applications were approved in two more. In the six months since Musk broke ties with the administration, Starlink announced its entry into an additional 13 countries, totalling at least 26 countries in 2025.
In some cases, Starlink found quick success in countries it sought to enter for the first time. In others, Starlink’s applications had stalled for years until they were suddenly greenlit.

How Starlink benefited from Elon Musk’s Trump ties - Rest of World

The satellite internet service cut through red tape to enter new countries while Musk led DOGE.

I've been trying the COSMIC store and it looks like it killed my apt somehow.
Apt says that there is a version mismatch between some libc6 packages, but I checked with dpkg and it all looks correct.

Apt says that I've a newer version of some packages but that is not true.
Is there any way to fix this?

I suggest you install the stable version (since stability and predictability are the main features of Debian). If you need the latest packages go Arch (or any other rolling-release distro).

I've been using Debian Unstable for about one year since I wanted Plasma 6 so bad. Even after Trixie came out I didn't switch back to Stable because it runs good and gets frequent updates.

The experience was actually quite smooth, better than what my friend has with Kubuntu, which for every distro update has a 50% chance of breaking

I wonder if it will result in the desired outcome for the German car industry. The benefits of BEV cars are broad and the economies of scale are picking up. I could see their resistance to electrifying only strengthening the Chinese car brands.

in reply to Unrelated • 1 settimana fa • •

Yes, I cannot for the life of me understand how this decision is supposed to save the German automotive industry. It will not stop the rapid development of BEV cars, which already perform very well in many respects today.

Perhaps the reasoning is that the industry has fallen so far behind that there is no longer any prospect of catching up with the technological lead of way more innovative manufacturers.
However, further lobbying by this influential industry could well continue to hold back the expansion of the charging infrastructure. This would then provide arguments in favor of combustion engine models for some time to come. Of course, this would severely hamper the future viability of Germany and probably also Europe, but this clique is certainly capable of it despite the massive negative effects.

I mean, until around 2003, Germany was the world market leader in photovoltaic systems—today, the country hardly plays a role in this industry anymore because it never received the support it needed to remain competitive. The same parties that are now at work here again were responsible for this - and there was of course massive lobbying involved.

I consider this not only a failure of political and economic leadership, but also unscrupulous cronyism at the expense of Europe's future viability in favor of large corporations that have no interest in innovation whatsoever and even actively prevent it in order to protect their core business.

in reply to Unrelated • 1 settimana fa • •

The German car industry is more then just the big car brands. They are aware of the Chinese competition and they have invested a lot to be able to compete. However for parts suppliers this is much more difficult. If you are a making some metal engine casts for example, you really do not have expertise, which translate well to EV production. So you probably go down. Those sort of ICE car part suppliers have fired 50k workers in Germany this year already. The transition is hurting them badly and they would love five more years.

The good news is that Germany is at 30% BEV production and rising fast. So those companies are already in a very bad place and so is their lobbying power long term. For Germany Spain and France blocking this is probably the best thing to happen. Oh and the EV industry did get buyers subsidies in Germany for the next five years.

Doesn't matter.

The initial suggestion was of a ban in 2030 from 10 countries that already had plans of banning fossil fuels from 2030 or sooner.

The 2035 deadline was a compromise to allow the car manufacturers to get up to speed.
If they try to prolong that, some countries might just go back to their local legislation and ban the cars even sooner.

EU can potentially claim that such bans are against the free trade in EU and force it through, but they can never actually force anyone to buy the cars.

The decision of switching to EVs is entirely up to the local drivers, regardless of what arbitrary deadline the manufacturers try to lobby through EU.

Even in France and Germany, who produce fossil fuel cars, there are cities with environmental zones banning fossil fuel cars. Just as it today doesn't make any sense for people near Berlin to buy a diesel car that they can't drive in Berlin, every potential car buyer in all of EU are going to have to consider if they can even use or resell a fossil fuel car in their local area within the expected lifetime of a car.

The new media weapons of war

Israel has lost favour with US public opinion. Aware of the danger this poses, prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has announced the opening of an ‘eighth front’, the ‘battle for truth’, in order to win back hearts and minds. Tel Aviv has never neglected this dimension, but previous efforts have mainly focused on the traditional media. But, as Netanyahu told US influencers in New York on 26 September, ‘weapons change over time … the most important ones are the social media.’

My Saint Bernard Stole the Toy Drive

So today was the annual Toy Lift at the Ohio Valley Mall, which basically means a bunch of us show up in the freezing cold to prove we’re still decent humans who can do something other than complain on the internet. And because life is a cosmic joke with a dark sense of humor, I brought Jersey. Yes, my 150-pound Saint Bernard dressed like an elf who lost a bet to a lumberjack. She strutted through that parking lot like she owned the whole rescue operation, and honestly, she kind of did. Kids were losing their minds, adults were taking photos like she was some kind of canine celebrity, and I was just there trying not to slip on the ice and eat pavement in front of the sheriff’s department.

At one point I’m standing there talking to a FedEx driver who looks like he walked straight out of a beard-oil commercial, and Jersey decides to flop dramatically onto the asphalt like a Victorian woman fainting on a couch. Meanwhile, the Chick-fil-A cow strolls over, looking like it escaped from a holiday fever dream. Jersey gives it this expression like, “I’m not paid enough to engage with mascots,” and honestly, same. Somehow this turns into a full photo-op with firefighters, sheriff’s deputies, utility crews, and random mall stragglers. My dog had more range than a Hollywood actor and more patience than anyone working retail in December.

By the end of the day, my toes were numb, my caffeine buzz was fading, and Jersey was still prancing around like she was running for office. But we did it. We showed up, froze our butts off, and helped collect toys so some kids have a better Christmas. And yeah, I’ll complain about everything because it’s my calling in life, but doing something good with my giant goofball of a dog? I’ll take that chaos any day.
