US to warn Lebanon to get tougher on Hezbollah to unlock Gulf cash, sources say
US deputy Middle East envoy Morgan Ortagus is expected to arrive in Beirut on Friday for meetings with Aoun and other Lebanese officials.
There, she will raise concerns that the Lebanese army is "backsliding" against disarming Hezbollah, one current US official and two former US and Arab officials told MEE.
But at the top of the Lebanese officials' agenda will be asking the US why reconstruction funding from Saudi Arabia that was promised earlier this year has not materialised.
MEE revealed in January that the US dangled the promise of Saudi cash to Lebanese lawmakers to ensure Aoun, Lebanon’s former commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces, was elected president. Since then, Saudi Arabia has brushed off Lebanon’s appeals for cash.

Germany is now deporting pro-Palestine EU citizens. This is a chilling new step
A crackdown on political dissent is well under way in Germany. Over the past two years, institutions and authorities have cancelled events, exhibitions and awards over statements about Palestine or Israel.
There are many examples: the Frankfurt book fair indefinitely postponing an award ceremony for Adania Shibli; the Heinrich Böll Foundation withdrawing the Hannah Arendt prize from Masha Gessen; the No Other Land directors Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham being defamed by German ministers. And, most recently, the philosopher Omri Boehm being disinvited from speaking at this month’s anniversary of the liberation of Buchenwald.
In nearly all of these cases, accusations of antisemitism loom large – even though Jews are often among those being targeted. More often than not, it is liberals driving or tacitly accepting these cancellations, while conservatives and the far right lean back and cheer them on.
Germany has recently taken a chilling new step, signalling its willingness to use political views as grounds to curb migration. Authorities are now moving to deport foreign nationals for participating in pro-Palestine actions. As I reported this week in the Intercept, four people in Berlin – three EU citizens and one US citizen – are set to be deported over their involvement in demonstrations against Israel’s war on Gaza. None of the four have been convicted of a crime, and yet the authorities are seeking to simply throw them out of the country.

Literally Jews pushing the German government that is centre-Left to help them call other Jews anti-semetic. As it pushes for Germany to continue sending weapons and money to kill Palestinians.
Legal experts told me that invoking Staatsräson in deportation proceedings is legally dubious. A recent parliamentary review reached a similar conclusion, noting that Staatsräson – often cited to justify Germany’s foreign policy toward Israel, including the plan of the incoming chancellor, Friedrich Merz, to invite Benjamin Netanyahu despite an active international criminal court arrest warrant – carries no legally enforceable weight.

Abraham said he had planned to return to Israel the day after the closing ceremony, but that he changed his plans during a stop-off in Greece, when he learned that Israeli media outlets were describing his speech as antisemitic, with some citing German officials.
As well as receiving death threats on social media, Abraham said several individuals turned up at his family members’ home in Israel, causing them to vacate the premises out of fear for their safety.

Greece’s Aegean islands reel from ‘lake of mud’ flash floods before Easter rush
People on the Aegean islands, more used in April to the sight and scent of spring’s blossoms, have been left reeling from flash floods spurred by typhoon-strength gales, with authorities calling a state of emergency in some of Greece’s most popular destinations less than three weeks before Easter.
“It’s a total catastrophe and it happened in just two hours,” said Costas Bizas, the mayor of Paros, the island worst hit by weather not seen in decades. “We need all the help we can get.”
On Paros and Mykonos, two of the country’s most visited islands, officials were racing against the clock to complete clean-up operations before the arrival of tourists for the Easter break.

Israel got warned by Egypt three days in advance so it impossible to suggest they did not know.
Whether they knew the resistance was counterattacking does not make the resistance self-defense any less justified nor Israeli crimes any better.
Ouster of top FDA vaccine official prompts concern from lawmakers, scientists
A Washington Post report on March 28 that the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) forced the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) top vaccine official—Peter Marks, MD—to resign or be fired quickly caught the attention of some lawmakers, along with members of the scientific and business communities.Marks submitted his resignation letter, with an effective date of April 5. The development comes amid a major change in focus under the leadership of new HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a long-time vaccine skeptic, which the agency spelled out in a March 27 announcement.
Marks: Kennedy wants support for misinformation, lies
Marks is a hematologist oncologist who has led the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) since 2016 after serving as its deputy director since 2012. He has widely been credited as playing a key role in Operation Warp Speed, a partnership between the federal government and the private sector that streamlined the development, production, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccine.
In his resignation letter, published by the Post and other media outlets, Marks raised concerns about efforts to undermine confidence in vaccines, especially against the backdrop of a multistate measles outbreak that is especially severe in Texas. Marks said he was willing to work with Kennedy to address his concerns over vaccine safety and transparency. Kennedy has minimized the outbreak and has suggested alternative treatments, including vitamin A, which some hospital officials said has been linked to cases of liver problems.

Irish regulator set to fine TikTok €500m for EU data sent to China
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/32102322
ArchivedTikTok owner ByteDance is set to be hit by a privacy fine of more than €500 million for illegally shipping European users’ data to China, adding to the growing global backlash over the video-sharing app.
Ireland’s data protection commission, the company’s main regulator in Europe, will issue the penalty against TikTok before the end of the month, according to people familiar with the matter.
The move comes after a lengthy investigation found the Chinese business fell foul of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation in sending the information to China to be accessed by engineers, added the people, who spoke under condition of anonymity.
[...]
As part of the decision from Ireland’s data protection commission, the regulator will order TikTok to suspend the unlawful data processing in China within a set time frame. China has long provoked the ire of privacy activists, who claim that the nation’s mass surveillance regime violates fundamental rights.
TikTok has been in the crosshairs of the Irish data protection commission before. In September 2023, it was fined €345 million for alleged lapses in the way it cares for children’s personal data. The watchdog has also sounded the alarm over Big Tech firms shipping the personal data of European citizens outside of the 27-member bloc, slapping a record €1.2 billion fine against Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc. for failing to protect personal information from the American security services.
The Irish probe into TikTok started in 2021, when the regulator’s then head Helen Dixon claimed that EU user data could be accessed by “maintenance and AI engineers in China.”

Joan Didion’s Notes on Therapy
Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne met in the late fifties, when she was working at Vogue and he at Time. They married in 1964, and in 1966 they adopted a baby girl, giving her a name from the Yucatán: Quintana Roo. Together, Didion and Dunne lived out one of the most collaborative literary marriages in American history. Last week, after two years of preparation, the New York Public Library opened the Didion-Dunne archive to the public. Among its three hundred and thirty-six boxes of material is a thick file of typewritten notes by Didion describing her sessions with the psychiatrist Roger MacKinnon, beginning in 1999. Addressed to Dunne, the entries are full of direct quotations and written with the immediacy of fresh recollection. Didion was concerned about Quintana and her struggles with depression and alcoholism, but she was preoccupied, too, with aging, with creative fulfillment, with the complex dynamics of their family. She recorded her thoughts with the cool, forensic clarity she was known for.

Mounting calls to free Niger’s deposed president
Niger’s democratically elected former President Mohamed Bazoum and his wife Hadiza have spent more than 20 months in detention by a military that seized power in 2023 and this week cemented its grip on the country.A former high school philosophy teacher who went on to become Niger’s interior minister, Bazoum represented a break with the past: His presidential inauguration in 2021 was hailed as the first peaceful democratic transition in the West African nation since it gained independence from France in 1960.
But he was ousted only two years later as Niger followed in the footsteps of neighboring Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso in returning to military rule. On Wednesday, coup leader General Abdourahamane Tchiani was sworn in as Niger’s president for a “transitional” five years.

I'm from western Europe you idiot, far superior and educated.
Glad we can dump your banana republic.
Now go cry somewhere else, no need for your moronic american neanderthal level remarks.
Get back to your trailer and your meth and go jerk off to your stars and stripes rag you all love so much or whatever it is you do there.
Here's the sad part of this whole exchange. I'm over here, a random cunt using the last dying breaths of my shithole country's freedom to criticise my piece of shit government, while noting there are, in fact, other piece of shit governments too.
Meanwhile, you're out there being an absolutely spineless and convictionless arselicker; doing all you can to please the portrait of whatever whack dictator you have hanging on your sucio walls and you're all pissed off because someone that's clearly not you, has the fucking audacity to not be a spineless dictator groveling crotch pheasant.
Yea, I might be somewhere that sucks and has trash elites but so do you.
The difference between you and I is, I have a day job that's not being an autocrat's bitch online and am willing to see the wrongs of my people and call for change. Meanwhile, here you are... jUsT fOlLoWiNg OrDeRs to defend autocracy on every social media you're assigned to - and are angry someone out there isn't cowering like you.
You could be working towards your and your people's own freedom to criticize own dickhole leaders but instead, here you are... proving your pathetic allegiance to an effort towards the world's enslavement.
Bravo clownrade. 🤡
I am a much more advanced and civilised educated knowledgeable European that understands geopolitics at a level you can never achieve.
You make ridiculous assumptions fueled by your propaganda not even close to reality.
It is sad that you can't even understand most of the world doesn't like the US shithole.
My 'leaders' as you call them are sell-out US bootlickers, the people however think differently.
You cant even grasp the beginning of the spectrum that is out there.
A good thing actually, it's best the enemy is completely ignorant. Couldn't hope for more.
The fact you think I am paid to ridicule your awful cancer country says a lot more about you than me.
And it's been a constant here. None of you clowns have even the least knowledge of the world.
All the more reason you will lose, whatever you try.
Fascist lose in the end.
You called yourself Russian above, Borat. Lol! Fucking halfwit. You write like your mom drank too much while you were in the womb. You read like a cishet white dude who mentally never figured out how to articulate above the 10th grade*.
Defo, you wouldn't know wtf intelligence was if it bit you in the clown ass. If you're not being paid to be a coward and you're just this complete spineless twat on lemmy for nothing... lmfao that proves the point.
So mentally fucked up on your glue fumes you're calling yourself Russo in one breath, forgetting you did that and whining about it, and then vomiting out autocrat talking points like a Trump/Biden/Putin/Duterte/Bukele loving bitch. Then getting confused wtf fascism even is.
No one is this fucking stupid. If you're not getting paid to be this shitty of a troll, you should consider it.
You must've done too much meth in your trailer/car/tent or wherever you cockroaches live.
It really brings me so much joy your dimwit president (a perfect US representative) is accelerating the demise of your shithole.
All of you clowns crying online and having total meltdowns LOL
Enjoy the sanctions, luckily all you vulgar corn syrup filled peasants have enough fat to last a few months but it's not going to go well for you scum.
And nobody in the world will care.
Bye POS. Enjoy your food stamps 😂
Donde es insande? Is that a glue name you don't like? Lol estupida cabron.
Anyway. I guess you would know what too much meth looks like. Though, judging from our boring ass exchange here and how much you're DRAMATICALLY lacking, meth and trailers might be too rich for you at this time. Sorry about your luck, Borat. I can't relate.
Not sure why you're being a cunt about people's housing and inability to buy food, btw. Trailers and food stamps is an insult to you? Still can't relate. Just dumb right wing cunt things? Definitely FOX news, IRA, and Hasbara talking points. Again, if you're not getting paid by one of them you are truly an idiot. Lol
I'm glad you enjoy watching people suffer. You've made that crystal clear in every exchange, bud. Probably due to the fetal alcohol syndrome in your frontal lobe. Sad, really. But, cheer up fashy. It makes you an excellent candidate for your daddy Trump's cabinet selects. You should tweet him or something. I bet he'd make you director of meth and glue huffing. Right up there with RFK. You'd finally have an actual purpose in your sad little life.
I only see them in videos from the US.
And now you, the Russophobic US regime propaganda posting racist cunt wants to pretend to have the high grond? LOL.
Get fucked
You're repeating your same lame attempts at insults
t I’d be willing to put cash down you aren’t a lick of what you claim on lemmy
I bet you don't have cash since you're from the US shithole.
Also it doesn't matter what you think does it?
Nobody listens to dumb americunts.
Like your fat mom didn't listen when they told her she shouldn't fuck a monkey and got you.
Who are you quoting? lmao.
Are you getting railed by another person on lemmy also? I wouldn't be shocked. You do suck.
-4 LOL
I guess people see through your US fascist regime propaganda.
And what a vulgar and vile hate filled POS you must be to write such deranged comments.

I wonder how the UK feel about Brexit now that we've all entered that you-can-all-go-funk-yourself age (soon to be called a post-NATO era, I suppose) the USA just inaugurated with their new orange king (Kong)?
It's a serious question. Like I also wonder how the EU would feel about welcoming back the UK?
As a EU citizen, even though they acted like huge dicks (to keep it polite) and knowing they often are an utter pain in the ass to work and to live with, I would support them coming back in the Union. But that's just me and, unlike that Trump guy and its cheese-headed buffoon, I don't think I should rule a country like if I owned it, let alone 27 countries. And then, more than a few countries in the EU may not be that excited at the idea of the UK coming back, with their constant demands... because they themselves have made it real easy to not be happy about them being back.
I suppose signing military deals (and hopefully closer collaboration, training and other stuff armies do) would be the obvious thing to do, right now.
PS: I also do wonder how the assholes that led them into this shitty situation are doing?

After learning about the absurdity of copyright law in the USA I'm not really convinced or compelled to give a cent to these companies. It's not just paying for the content. It's giving these big corporations money so that they can lobby for laws that are against the interests of most people.
Italy seems to be leading the way to an even more bleak future. "Bleak future" seems to really be the order of the day, huh?

Thanks in advance.
Edit: Fixed with sudo pacman -Syu
For your education:
Pacman like many other package managers tries to minimize network queries, to do this you download a manifest of every package available and its installation instructions. -Sy downloads the latest manifest from all of your pacman repos, -u installs the packages whose "version" field changed between the old and new manifests.
These error messages show that the domain name the manifest had for your package was unavailable, this is why you should check for updates.
pacman -Syu <package-name> or if you use yay, yay -Syu <package-name>

American Century of Humiliation Incoming
Generated using chatgpt on my lunch break at work since I'm a lazy ass with no talent. Something I wrote on some other post with the same image:
You know what I find funny. The US fucking whinges about China nearly all the time. Yet they seek to become Insular and Autarkic. They make the same mistake the Qing Dynasty did.
The Qing dynasty, is often seen as prizing its material abundance and cultural legacy so highly that it sometimes failed to adapt to new challenges and technological advancements. This narrow focus is often cited as one of the factors that contributed to their eventual decline.
Equating the greatness or state of the nation with it's wealth. That's the fall.
How do modern Linux-distros handle eSIM-integration?
I am planning to buy a Lenovo T14s (4th generation) with eSIM-cpability. Does anyone here know or can anyone tell me how modern Linux-distros like Fedora, EndeavourOS, Manjaro or Mint do handle eSIM-functionality?
Is it available without going with additional packages, can I directly scan the QR-code to active the eSIM on the system? Any experiences here?
Thanks in advance!

FYI: Audio Crackling Bug with Pipewire 1.4.1 + FluidSynth in Debian Testing/Unstable and Work-Around
In case anyone is using Debian Testing/Unstable and experiencing audio issues, I thought I'd share this.
Until the bugs get fixed, there are two workarounds:
1. Uninstall FluidSynth
2. Add systemctl --user restart pipewire to your session startup; this eliminates the problem.
As I want FluidSynth, I went with the latter.
Ubuntu had a general crackling issue introduced last year, an issue around a buffer size which I fixed by copying
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.confTo ~/.config/pipewire
Uncomment
pulse.min.quantum = 128/48000And increase to 512/48000. Restart.
systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulseIncrease buffer until stuttering ends. Note this also introduces delay to audio.
Perhaps your issue is something similar? I wouldn’t blindly make these changes on your end, but maybe it’s something to search up on.
Tried that already.
Based on the report, this seems to be an actual bug - it was working fine for everyone before the update and only happens in the presence of FluidSynth.
Ubuntu probably hasn't had this version of PipeWire yet.
My work around is working just fine for now, though.

[Announcement] Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt Launches Soon
Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the hunt will launch on PC and Console soon! In this news post, we've gathered all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day and how to start downloading early.
The PC realms will go down and patching begins at: Apr 04, 2025 5:00 PM (GMT)
The servers go live for PC and Console at: Apr 04, 2025 7:00 PM (GMT)
The above times are displayed in your local time zone. You'll need to be logged into your account to see these. To change your local time, go to "My Account", "Manage Account" and "Edit Preferences".
If the timezone is displaying incorrectly for you, please disregard the above timer and refer to the countdown on the front page. Three hours before the end of the countdown, the realm will go down and patching will begin shortly after. When the countdown ends, the servers will be live and you'll be able to join the Dawn of the Hunt Leagues.
The patch size for the update will be around 31GB on the standalone client and Steam. The estimated size of the patch for Consoles is 27GB.
You can start pre downloading the patch on both Consoles now. You will still be able to play the current version of Path of Exile 2 until the launch of Dawn of the Hunt.
We've also made a torrent available for PC. Please keep in mind that this method, while available earlier, makes it a larger update as it includes all the existing client content. When patching begins for Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt you'll also have a few remaining files that you'll need to update as well.
This torrent only includes the GGPK file, so you'll need to copy it into your actual install folder once the patching server is up, no earlier than three hours before Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt launches. Please note that you can't use this GGPK file with the Steam and Epic client.
This is also your last chance to get a Settlers Mystery Box in Path of Exile 2! It will leave the store when our next Mystery Box becomes available! If you need some extra points, we recommend checking out the Path of Exile 2: Early Access or the Settlers of Kalguur Supporter packs!
You can also claim some free cosmetics by watching your favourite content creators on Twitch! Check out this post for more information!
We can't wait to see your latest adventures through Wraeclast. See you at launch!
