महिला लापता: मंडी मेले से गायब खिरमा देवी चंबा में मिली, प्रेमी के साथ जाने की बात कबूली
Himachal News: मंडी जिले के कांढ़ी सरोआ गांव से महिला लापता होने की घटना ने सभी को चौंका दिया था। 20 वर्षीय खिरमा देवी, जो 15 जून 2025 को सतकुड़ी नाग देवता मेले में गई थी, अचानक गायब हो गई थी। गोहर पुलिस ने तकनीकी सहायता से उसकी लोकेशन ट्रेस की और उसे चंबा जिले के किलाड़ क्षेत्र में ढूंढ निकाला। खिरमा ने बताया कि वह अपनी इच्छा से प्रेमी रमेश कुमार के साथ गई है।
पुलिस जांच और खिरमा का बयान
गोहर थाना प्रभारी ने बताया कि खिरमा से मोबाइल पर संपर्क किया गया। उसने कहा कि वह रमेश के साथ चंबा गई है और अब घर नहीं लौटना चाहती। रमेश (22), चंबा के सलाणी गांव का निवासी है और मनाली में होटल में काम करता है। खिरमा ने पुलिस को बताया कि उनकी दोस्ती फेसबुक और इंस्टाग्राम पर छह महीने पहले शुरू हुई थी।
सोशल मीडिया ने बदली जिंदगी
खिरमा की शादी तीन साल पहले रोहित कुमार से हुई थी, लेकिन उनका वैवाहिक जीवन सुखी नहीं था। संतान न होने और पारिवारिक असंतोष ने उन्हें सोशल मीडिया की ओर आकर्षित किया। यहीं से रमेश के साथ उनकी दोस्ती गहरी हुई, जिसने उनके जीवन को नया मोड़ दिया। महिला लापता होने की शिकायत उनके पति रोहित ने गोहर थाने में दर्ज कराई थी।
पुलिस की सक्रियता
पुलिस ने शिकायत के बाद तुरंत कार्रवाई शुरू की। तकनीकी संसाधनों का उपयोग कर खिरमा की लोकेशन का पता लगाया गया। हिमाचल पुलिस ने इस मामले में पारदर्शिता बरती और दोनों पक्षों के बयान दर्ज किए। खिरमा और रमेश को महिला थाना चंबा में पेश होने के लिए कहा गया है।
आगे की जांच
पुलिस इस मामले की गहराई से जांच कर रही है। खिरमा के बयान के आधार पर यह स्पष्ट है कि वह अपनी मर्जी से रमेश के साथ गई, लेकिन पुलिस सभी पहलुओं की पड़ताल कर रही है। यह मामला सोशल मीडिया के प्रभाव और व्यक्तिगत निर्णयों की जटिलता को दर्शाता है। महिला लापता होने की यह घटना अब एक नए दिशा में बढ़ रही है।

Mike Lee flees questions about deranged assassin tweet
Republican Sen. Mike Lee was caught fleeing from media questions about his inflammatory posts on the senseless murder of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman.
Over the weekend, the Utah senator posted a photo of Boelter in a latex mask, adding the caption, “This is what happens... When Marxists don’t get their way.” The backlash was swift, with many pointing at the copious amount of evidence that suggests Boelter was a conservative.
Now, a journalist for NBC News has shared a video of Lee running from questions about his post, including whether or not he regrets the tweet. Instead of answering, Lee and his staffers quickly walk away from the cameras, with one staffer attempting to cover the camera with his iPad.

KDE Plasma 6.4 released
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/31824667
The KDE community today announced the latest release: Plasma 6.4. This fresh new release improves on nearly every front, with progress being made in accessibility, color rendering, tablet support, window management, and more.Plasma already offered virtual desktops and customizable tiles to help organize your windows and activities, and now it lets you choose a different configuration of tiles on each virtual desktop. The Wayland session brings some new accessibility features: you can now move the pointer using your keyboard’s number pad keys, or use a three-finger touchpad pinch gesture to zoom in or out. Plasma file transfer notification now shows a speed graph, giving you a more visual idea of how fast the transfer is going, and how long it will take to complete. When any applications are in full screen mode Plasma will now enter Do Not Disturb mode and only show urgent notifications, and when you exit full screen mode, you’ll see a summary of any notifications you missed. Now when an application tries to access the microphone and finds it muted, a notification will pop up. A new feature in the Application Launcher widget will place a green New! tag next to newly installed apps, so you can easily find where something you just installed lives in the menu. The Display and Monitor page in System Settings comes with a brand new HDR calibration wizard, and support for Extended Dynamic Range (a different kind of HDR) and P010 video color format has been added. System Monitor now supports usage monitoring for AMD and Intel graphic cards, it can even show the GPU usage on a per-process basis. Spectacle, the built-in app for taking screenshots and screen recordings, has much improved design and more streamlined functionality. The background of the desktop or window now darkens when an authentication dialog shows up, helping you locate and focus on the window asking for your password. There’s a brand-new Animations page in System Settings that groups all the settings for purely visual animated effects into one place, making it easier to find and configure them. Aurorae is a newly added SVG vector graphics theme engine for KWin window decorations.
You can read more about these and many other other features in the Plasma 6.4 anounncement and complete changelog.

Data broker was used by shooter in Minnesota to get information about victims
The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

For the LOVE OF FUCKING GOD, give us a FUCKING NATIONAL REGISTRY to halt data broker abuse!
Shit like this is gonna happen when data brokers collect and ALL of your personal info WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
There should be a national registry that PROHIBITS data brokers from collecting our personal info.
We already have a National Do Not Call Registry that makes it so we cannot receive calls from robocallers and telemarketers, and there should be an opt-out system that makes it so data brokers CANNOT under ANY circumstances collect any info about us that can reveal our real identities. This is already a system that everyone in California is gonna get by 2026. That is NOT good enough! Expand it to the ENTIRETY of the United States and make it so everyone can opt-out!
This is gonna continue unless data broker abuse is stopped. donotdox.com/

Iran fires a wave of drones first and then time the rockets to land simultaneously.
Iran has multiple missiles, cheaper ballistic ones which follow an arc trajectory, and hyper-sonic ones which are more actively guided
The hypersonic missiles seem to get through frequently.
The ballistic missiles and drones mostly get intercepted, however the goal of those is to deplete interception missile stocks. It is rumored Israel will run out of those in around 12 days.

You know what, I checked his most recent video
And for the first time ever I saw him putting not only the blame on Netanyahu but mention Israel multiple times. Not more than Netanyahu, but he has now started to mention Israel.
So you are correct and I will now delete this post.
This is so goddamn pedantic it's not even funny. He literally starts his press release "No War in Iran" with "following Israel's military strikes..."
Netanyahu is the face of an authoritarian government. It's just as valid to say "we need to stop Netanyahu" as it is to say "we need to stop Trump" or "we needed to stop Hitler"
Obviously, the system that supported and enabled the authoritarianism and genocide needs to be fixed. But it starts from the top. It starts with the very public, very human, very deposable face of the regime.
It's much easier to rally specifically against a dictator than it is to rally generally against the system of government that he controls, especially because it helps make one thing clear - Israelis themselves can help make that happen.
Someone lost 20 years worth of Pokemon when trying to transfer data from Switch 1 to Switch 2

Nope, the switch only keeps saves on the internal storage or synced to their cloud if you pay for it. When doing transfers between devices like this there is no copy option only a move and delete.
There are some legitimate reasons they want to prevent this like preventing users from duplicating items in multiplayer games, etc. Even if you got access to the files they are encrypted so that only your user can use them.
I think the bigger reason they do this is there are occasionally exploits that are done through corrupted saves. So preventing the user from importing their own saves helps protect the switch from getting soft modded.
If you mod your switch you can get access to the save files and since it has full access it can also decrypt them, so that you can back them up. One of several legitimate reasons to mod your switch.
Another case of piracy having far superior user experience compared to the legal, honest way of playing the game, not because piracy is intrinsically better but because the publisher deliberately makes the official experience as inconvenient and exploitative as possible.
I used to have a git repo in my emulator's save directory so I could have checkpoints that I can restore to if I ever get stuck.
Yeah it is pretty bad when an emulator offers a better experience than even a modded Switch.
Easy to load your choice of directory sync tool (i.e. NextCloud Sync Client/Synology Drive Client/etc, or Google Drive/OneDrive if you are on Windows) pointed at your emulators save directory and have your own automatic cloud sync that you have full control over, built in versioning, the works.
AFAIK Pokemon doesn't do cloud saves.
The reason being to prevent duplication of Pokemon.
Given that the game is largely single player that seems like a stupid reason to me.
While I'm sure some people do a lot of breeding and IV training for the more competitive scene, be assume lots of people just hack together whatever team they need. Wonder Trade and Home have always been full of random shiny Pokemon.

It is absolutely a great idea. These shit phones are fucking dangerous.
They're completely different, depending on your needs. Some work easily for those without tech knowledge or very strict needs at usability, some are for privacy enthusiasts or endangered people and some are for techies who want to advance humanity.
I suggest trying on an older phone you already have or buying a used one.
Generally, i suggest not buying new at all, as a form of protest, anyway.

Tinder now lets you go on double dates
Crossposted from rss.ponder.cat/post/208519
Tinder is no longer just a platform for solo dates. The company has announced a new “Double Date” feature rolling out in the US that will let you invite a friend to find — and match with – another pair.
The feature lives within a new “Double Date” icon in the top-right corner of the app, where you can invite up to three friends to create pairs with. You can both scroll through a feed of paired profiles, which appear side by side with photos and descriptions. A match is created when one person from both pairs swipes right. Tinder will then open up a group chat with all four users.
The update should help Tinder gain an edge over rivals as the dating app industry continues to experience a slump. It will also allow Tinder to compete directly with platforms built for double dates, like Doubble and Fourplay.
Cleo Long, Tinder’s head of product marketing, told The Verge that the platform has been testing the feature in Europe for a “couple of months,” adding that it’s meant to help relieve dating pressure, especially among younger users. “This is a social-first experience that’s really meant to help relieve some of the pressure that we know a lot of Gen Z experiences with dating by making it more social, more fun, and bringing your friends in to help reinforce that comfort piece,” Long said.
Double Dates builds on some of the other social features Tinder has rolled out in recent years, including a feature that lets you share the details of your dates with other people, as well as a way for friends or family members to find matches for you.
Tinder plans on rolling out Double Dates globally in July.

in reply to silly goose meekah • • •pip is an easily resizable overlay, sure you can set window always to front but then you can accidentally click it , like easily drag it around the screen away from whatever I need to see and use to an area thats currently unused, quick resize if I need to see it bigger, its just convenient. Using windows is a hassle compared to it, just open youtube with any browser, click the top tiny square button in the video for pip and youll see what im talking about.
Typically I use it to watch stremio, it isnt as resizable by itself and its annoying to have my keyboard controls switch to a different app, this avoids that. Also if installing something you can have a tiny little window anywhere on your screen over your stuff showing progress.
