Poland blames Russian ‘sabotage’ for GPS disruptions over Baltic Sea
Poland has been observing GPS disruptions over the Baltic Sea, Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said, adding they were “related to the actions of the Russian Federation, including sabotage actions.”
Polish media reported cases of GPS malfunction in the north of the country on Tuesday, including private drones flying away in unknown directions or losing connection.
“This may be Russia’s answer to the Baltops exercises,” Polish Vice Admiral Krzysztof Jaworski told Reuters on Tuesday, referring to NATO’s annual exercise in the Baltic Sea, being held this month.
Jaworski said the disruptions had become more intense since the start of the NATO exercise.
On Monday, a flight from Alicante in Spain to the northern Polish city of Bydgoszcz was redirected to Poznań in the west of Poland due to navigation problems, a Bydgoszcz airport spokesperson said, without identifying the airline.
“We are observing these disruptions. They are also observed over the Baltic Sea area by our allies in NATO countries - both in the Baltic states and the Nordic countries,” Kosiniak-Kamysz told journalists when asked about such incidents at a press conference about new helicopters.
“These actions are related, according to our sources, to the actions of the Russian Federation, also to sabotage actions.”
He did not elaborate on the sources.
**Rising sabotage threats **
Countries located on the Baltic Sea have reported numerous incidents since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, including power cable, telecom link and gas pipeline outages, and the NATO military alliance has boosted its presence in the region.
On Tuesday, Poland and the Baltic states signed a memorandum to boost the protection of critical energy infrastructure, with a special focus on shielding vulnerable underwater assets in the Baltic Sea, where a string of suspected sabotage attacks have been reported since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
Last year, Estonia and Finland blamed Moscow for jamming GPS navigation devices in the region’s airspace.
Russia has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

The [Council of Europe] Commissioner asks the German authorities to uphold freedom of expression and peaceful assembly in the context of the conflict in Gaza
[Letter sent on the 06th of June and made public today]Dear Minister,
My mandate is to foster the effective observance of human rights in all member states of the Council of Europe. An important part of my work is to engage in dialogue with the governments and parliaments
of member states, and to assist them in addressing possible shortcomings in their laws and practices.I write in relation to measures taken by the German authorities that restrict freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly of persons protesting in the context of the conflict in Gaza.
Freedom of peaceful assembly
It is my understanding that since February 2025, the Berlin authorities have imposed restrictions on the
use of the Arabic language and cultural symbols in the context of the protests. In some cases, such as an assembly in Berlin on 15 May 2025, marches have been restricted to stationary gatherings.
Furthermore, protestors were allegedly subject to intrusive surveillance, online or in person, and arbitrary police checks.I am also concerned by reports of excessive use of force by police against protesters, including minors, sometimes leading to injuries. The use of force by law enforcement officials including during protests must comply with the principles of non-discrimination, legality, necessity and proportionality, and precaution. Incidents of excessive use of force need to be effectively investigated, those responsible should be sanctioned in an appropriate manner and victims should be informed about possible remedies. To facilitate accountability, law enforcement officials should always display a visible and easily recognisable form of identification during assemblies, which reportedly has not always been the
case during some of the latest demonstrations.I further have to observe that over a number of years protests on Nakba commemoration day, particularly in Berlin, have been suppressed. For instance, in 2024, protests were reportedly met with
excessive use of force by the police, resulting in arrests and injuries among participants. Peaceful protesters were reportedly arrested, and criminal law provisions were applied to expressions of support
for Palestine.I draw your attention to the Guidelines on Peaceful Assembly prepared by the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR). They outline that content-based restrictions on assembly must be subject to the most serious scrutiny: freedom of peaceful assembly also protects demonstrations that may annoy or cause offence to persons opposed to the ideas or claims that it is seeking to promote. Any measures interfering with freedom of peaceful assembly and expression other than in cases of
incitement to violence or rejection of democratic principles do a disservice to democracy and may even endanger it.Freedom of expression
Restrictions on freedom of expression have also reportedly been identified in such contexts as universities, arts and culture institutions, and schools. Furthermore, allegedly there have been attempts to deport foreign nationals in relation to their participation in protests and other forms of expression regarding the conflict in Gaza.
I understand that restrictions have been justified on the basis that events, symbols, or other forms of expression “disrupt public order” or “disturb public peace”. The case-law of the European Court of Human Rights’ (the Court) establishes that freedom of expression “applies not only to ‘information’ and ‘ideas’ that are favourably received, regarded as inoffensive, or which leave one indifferent […] - it implies pluralism, tolerance and openness, without which there is no ‘democratic society’”. In assessing the necessity of the interference, member states have little scope to impose restrictions on political speech or on debate on matters of public interest, unless the views expressed comprise incitements to violence, and must always carry out such an assessment case by case.
I observe that other justifications invoked for the restrictions on rights include the prevention of antisemitism. I note with concern reports indicating that the working definition of antisemitism of the
International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) has been interpreted by some German authorities in ways which lead to the blanket classification of criticism of Israel as antisemitic. In that
regard, I urge you to be vigilant that the IHRA working definition is not distorted, instrumentalised or misapplied to stifle freedom of expression and legitimate criticism, including of the state of Israel.More generally, the Court’s case law and the Council of Europe standards and guidance on freedom of expression, hate speech and hate crime (among others, Recommendation CM/Rec(2022)16 of the
Committee of Ministers to member States on combating hate speech and, ECRI General Policy Recommendation N°15 on Combatting Hate Speech), provide the necessary framework for calibrating restrictions which must respect the principles of legality, necessity, roportionality and non-discrimination.In conclusion, I recall that member states have both an obligation to refrain from undue interference with human rights and also positive obligations to safeguard these rights by securing their effective enjoyment for everyone, at all levels of government. I therefore respectfully ask you to ensure the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly for all and to refrain from measures that discriminate against persons based on their political or other opinion, religion or belief, ethnic origin, nationality or
migration status.I stand ready to continue our constructive dialogue on this and other human rights issues in Germany.___

A solemn realization
Was nerver a big social media person, never really posted or interacted with a personal account on intagram,Facebook etc. When I, a couple of years ago, began filming and documenting my creations. I made a bunch of social media accounts on basically all the platforms(because thats what you are supposed to do). Got some followers, never in the thousands or even hundreds for that matter. But I figured it's probably because I'm not trying to click-bait or follow the latest trends. I wanted to be genuine, still am. But the interactions often times felt like bots. A couple of Smiley's, a like. Someone followed then never again an interaction with a post. I did set out to make things because I love making things and learning new skills, but got lost on the way. The lower the effort my post had the more interactions. 50-minute video of a woodworking project from start to finish with voice over and explanations, 10 views. 15 second video of a toy car rolling on a track, 2500 views.
And the incessant, follow for follow trends by grifters.
Dead internet theory rang in my head.
I missed the old internet and began dreaming about setting up my on forum with no bots allowed, like in the old days(Yes I'm old enough to remember).
Then I learned that mastodon was part of the fediverse, but I had never heard of the fediverse, and mastodon I thought was like twitter for sysadmins.
I've almost completely transitioned to the fediverse now. I have yet to delete my YouTube account, but I now also have a peertube channel.
I've seen posts about It being hard to get followers on the fediverse, and mastodon. But I'd gladly post to the the ether, if that one in 50 posts is an actual human responding or liking what I do.
Thanks for reading.

KDE Plasma Mobile — The Dev Log: April 2024 - June 2025
This blog post is already quite long, so it will omit changes merged for Plasma 6.5 (releasing in October, to be announced in a future post).
With the Plasma 6.2 release, we moved Plasma Dialer and Spacebar to the Plasma release cycle, allowing us to have consistent releases of the two apps. This completes our year long move to having all Plasma Mobile related projects released as part of wider KDE releases, streamlining the work for distributions and taking a load off us on having to maintain a separate release cycle!
In other news, a Fedora spin for Plasma Mobile was released! It will only be targeting devices that can currently boot Fedora (i.e. not ARM phones), but is very exciting nonetheless!
The Dev Log: April 2024 - June 2025
The Plasma Mobile team is happy to announce the developments in the project over the past few months! Housekeeping This blog post was completed much later than originally planned. In the meantime, several releases have taken place:The Dev Log: April 2024 - June 2025

Poland’s Third Way alliance confirms split but remains within Tusk’s ruling coalition
The two parties that make up the Third Way (Trzecia Droga), which is part of Poland’s ruling coalition, have confirmed that they are splitting and will stand separately at the next elections.
The decision was confirmed in statements issued last night and this morning by the leaders of the two parties that make up the alliance: Szymon Hołownia of the centrist Poland 2050 (Polska 2050) and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz of the centre-right Polish People’s Party (PSL).
The Third Way was formed two years ago, when PSL and Poland 2050 were in opposition. They retained their separate identities as parties but stood candidates on joint electoral lists at the October 2023 parliamentary elections, where they together won 14.4% of the vote.
That placed them third, behind the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS, 35.4%) and centrist Civic Coalition (KO, 30.7%) and ahead of The Left (Lewica, 8.6%).
After those elections, KO, the Third Way and The Left formed a new coalition government, led by KO leader Donald Tusk, that removed PiS from power after eight years in office. It has ruled the country ever since.
Kosiniak-Kamysz serves as deputy prime minister and defence minister in the government, while Hołownia is the speaker of Sejm, the more powerful lower house of parliament.
PSL and Poland 2050 formed separate caucuses in parliament, with each currently having 32 MPs in the 460-seat Sejm.
But they continued to stand jointly as the Third Way in subsequent elections. At the April 2024 local elections, the Third Way won 14.3% of the vote. However, at the European elections that took place two months later, its share fell to just 6.9%.
In this year’s presidential election, PSL agreed to support the candidacy of Hołownia, but he won a disappointing 5% of the vote in the first round, finishing fifth. That was significantly worse than his presidential run as an independent in 2020, when he finished third with 13.9%.
Since the most recent presidential elections, rumours have circulated that PSL and Poland 2050 might decide to separate.
The two parties have not always been natural allies, with PSL taking more conservative positions on issues such as abortion and same-sex partnerships and Poland 2050 placing stronger emphasis on climate policies than its partner.
On Tuesday evening, PSL’s leadership met to discuss the best path forward. Afterwards, before any official announcement had been made, Hołownia issued a statement saying that his party “accepts the decision of our coalition partner PSL to effectively end the Third Way project”.
He said that Poland 2050 was “determined to work constructively with our partners” going forward, but was also felt “sincere political joy at the prospect of running independently in the next elections”.
Subsequently, leading PSL figures, including party spokesman Miłosz Motyka, noted that no resolution had been formally adopted on ending the Third Way alliance. That prompted questions over whether what Hołownia had written was accurate.
However, on Wednesday, Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed the split, telling broadcaster Radio Zet that the Third Way “is behind us, it has reached the end”.
The announcement was “supposed to be a bit different”, he added. “We had a discussion yesterday; Poland 2050 will have a discussion on 28 June. Then we were supposed to come out together and say that this stage is closed. [But] when there are 150 people in the room, it is difficult to keep everything absolutely sterile.”
After this month’s presidential election run-off was won by PiS-backed candidate Karol Nawrocki – who defeated KO deputy leader Rafał Trzaskowski – there were questions over whether and how the government would be able to rule with a hostile president and his power of veto.
PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński called for Tusk’s administration to step down and be replaced by an “apolitical technical government”. Figures from his party appealed to PSL, the most conservative element of the ruling coalition, to join them in bringing down the government.
However, at a vote of confidence in the government called by Tusk last week, he emerged triumphant, with all his coalition partners – PSL, Poland 2050 and The Left – joining KO in voting in favour.
The next elections scheduled in Poland are parliamentary ones that are due to take place in autumn 2027. If PSL and Poland 2050 stand as individual parties, they would have to win at least 5% of vote to enter parliament. If they stand as part of a coalition, the threshold is 8%.

EU unveils plans to bypass Hungary and Slovakia vetoes on Russian gas imports ban
The European Union has unveiled plans to legally bypass Hungary and Slovakia to ban Russian gas imports by 2027, using trade and energy laws that avoid national vetoes.
Slovakia and Hungary, which have sought to maintain close political ties with Russia, say switching to alternatives would increase energy prices. They have vowed to block sanctions on Russian energy, which require unanimous approval from all EU countries, and have opposed the ban.
The Commission based its proposed ban on EU trade and energy law to get around this, relying on support from most countries and a majority of the European Parliament.
First, imports would be banned from January 1, 2026, under any Russian pipeline gas and LNG contracts signed during the remainder of this year.
Imports under short-term Russian gas deals—those lasting less than one year—signed before June 17, 2025, would be banned from June 17 next year.
Finally, imports under existing long-term Russian contracts would be banned from January 1, 2028, effectively ending the EU's use of Russian gas by this date, the Commission said.
Hungary and Slovakia, which still import Russian gas via pipeline and have opposed the EU plans, would have until January 1, 2028, to end their imports, including those on short-term contracts.
“When the legislation is passed, all countries, of course, has to apply to it, and if they don't, then there will be legal consequences, like with any other legislation in the European Union,” Dan Jørgensen, European Commissioner for Energy and Housing said.
Russia loses market
The EU would also gradually ban liquid natural gas (LNG) terminals from providing services to Russian customers, and companies importing Russian gas would have to disclose information on their contracts to EU and national authorities.
On Monday, EU energy commissioner Dan Jørgensen said that the measures were designed to be legally strong enough for companies to invoke the contractual clause of “force majeure”–an unforeseeable event–to break their Russian gas contracts.
About 19% of Europe’s gas still comes from Russia via the TurkStream pipeline and LNG shipments, down from roughly 45% before 2022.
Companies, including TotalEnergies and Spain’s Naturgy, have Russian LNG contracts extending into the 2030s.
To replace Russian supplies, the EU has signaled it will expand clean energy and could import more LNG from the U.S.
Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and France import Russian LNG but have all said they fully support the ban, emphasizing that it must be sufficiently robust legally to avoid exposing companies to penalties or arbitration, EU diplomats told Reuters.

It is OutfinityGift project better then all NFTs?
Creating NFTs requires minting and burning the token, which means there’s an upfront cost. Apparently, the OutfinityGift project is changing this concept — the value of their token comes from the fact that, when an NFT is created, the token is locked instead of burned. If the NFT doesn’t sell, the funds can be withdrawn. They use a concept called Points as their token.

TL:DR
They don’t want to be forced to open features for the concurrency.
My problem with the whole situation.
The EU gets some nice features that some portion of users benefit from (AltStores , Sideloading) , but in exchange , we use other features that are far more useful. Like here , screen mirroring. There was a rumor that also AirDrop could loose/lack some functionality in the future (in EU).
It is getting ridiculous. I know that the argument „if you want an open phone , buy an android, why did you buy iPhone if you don’t want ecosystem“ is not valid as there are situations where you can’t choose (family buying only iPhone, Job only provides iPhone). But I fear that my experience and reason why I bought into the Apple ecosystem will be harmed by this over regulation.
I wanted it locked down and secure, I don’t want Google and Microsoft devices to be able to interact with my systems… the whole reason I ditched Windows and Android. Am I alone with that, anyone else who thinks so?

Instead of being angry at the legislature forcing corporations to have some modicum of decency, you should be angry at corporations that don’t provide that by default and they act petty about it by degrading service.
Apple has dozens of billions of dollars ready to go implement anything at any given time, if they wanted to allow their services to work well in the EU with the new regulations they could (might take some time). But they won’t. Be angry at apple, not the DMA.

Antropologisia elokuvia yöttömään yöhön
Liikkuva kuva antaa meille hetkeksi luvan paeta arkitodellisuutta. Eri lajityypit herättävät myös syviä tunteita; ne saattavat saada hikikarpalot valumaan otsalle jännityksestä tai kutsuvat laittamaan aivot narikkaan. Toimituksemme suosittelee kymmentä antropologiasta ammentavaa elokuvaa kesän kuluksi.
Elokuva on laajalle yleisölle helpoimmin lähestyttävä media antropologian tieteenalan ymmärtämiseen, mikä on osaltaan vaikuttanut dokumentaarisen, etnografisen elokuvan suosioon. Vieraiden kulttuurien tapojen näyttäminen tekee niistä todentuntuisempia pelkän kirjallisen kuvailun sijaan.
Samasta syystä etnografisen elokuvan luomaa visuaalista perinnettä on sovellettu useissa fiktiivisissä elokuvissa, joiden representaation totuudenmukaisuutta antropologit ovat vuorostaan hanakoita arvioimaan.
Elokuvantekijät tuntuvat myös mieltyneen antropologin henkilöhahmoon. Tutkija Jeremy MacClancyn tekemän selvityksen mukaan antropologit ovat eri tieteenalojen edustajista useimmin popularisoituja fiktiossa, jossa he tyypillisesti ottavat joko sankarin, ressukan tai pahiksen roolin.
MacClancyn mukaan suosion syy piilee siinä, että antropologi on oiva hahmo pohjustamaan juonikehityksessä maantieteellisiä siirtymiä, minkä lisäksi hän mahdollistaa esimerkiksi kulttuurieroihin tai tutkimusetiikkaan liittyvien kysymysten käsittelyn osana tarinaa.
Selvityksestä inspiroituneena olemme koonneet lukijoillemme kymmenen antropologiasta eri tavoin inspiroituneen elokuvan listan. Monet yllä mainitut näkökulmat tulevat valinnoissa tavalla tai toisella esiin.
Elokuvasuositusten myötä AntroBlogin toimitus jää kesätauolle, ja palaamme uusin aihein jälleen syyskuussa. Toivotamme lukijoillemme viihtyisää kesää liikkuvan kuvan äärellä!
1. Loputon yö (Midsommar) – Ari Aster 2019, kauhu
Perhetragediasta toipuva yhdysvaltalainen psykologian opiskelija Dani lähtee antropologipoikaystävänsä ja tämän opiskelukavereiden kanssa juhlimaan juhannusta kuvitteelliseen Hårgan ihanneyhteisöön Ruotsiin saadakseen muuta ajateltavaa. Alkuun hårgalaiset muistuttavat hippiliikkeestä ja kansanuskosta lainaavaa vaihtoehtoyhteisöä, jonka kulttuuriperinteitä antropologit ovat tulleet tutkimaan keskelle kauneinta kesää. Ihanneyhteisön kulissi alkaa kuitenkin pian rakoilla, kun yhteisöstä paljastuu kulttimaisia piirteitä. Samalla antropologien tutkimusetiikka asettuu kyseenalaiseksi. Lopulta Danin ja antropologien täytyy tahoillaan punnita, kuinka pitkälle heidän ymmärryksensä vieraita kulttuureja kohtaan kantaa.

2. Jurassic Park – Steven Spielberg 1993, scifi
Biologisesta antropologiasta väitelleen Michael Crichtonin romaaniin perustuvassa tieteisseikkailussa joukko asiantuntijoita kutsutaan arvioimaan Costa Ricaan rakentuvan teemapuiston turvallisuutta. Vieraiden yllätykseksi puiston vetonaulana toimivat geeniteknologian avulla henkiin herätetyt dinosaurukset. Vierailu ei suju aivan suunnitelmien mukaan, ja hirmuliskot osoittautuvat fossiileihin perustuvia oletuksia älykkäämmiksi. Jurassic Park on hyvä esimerkki siitä, miten fiktiivinen teos muokkaa elettyä todellisuutta: elokuva popularisoi ajatusta sukupuuttoon kuolleiden eliöiden henkiin herättämisestä, mitä on esitetty yhdenlaisena – joskin kiistanalaisena – vastauksena nykyiseen lajikatoon. Show’n varastava kaaosteoreetikko Ian Malcolm puolestaan esitteli maailmalle akateemisen rocktähden arkkityypin hyvän aikaa ennen kuin henkilöbrändäys hiipi yliopistomaailmaan.

3. The Woman King – Gina Prince-Bythewood 2022, toiminta
Länsiafrikkalaiseen Dahomeyn kuningaskuntaan 1820-luvulle sijoittuvan elokuvan päähenkilö on omatahtoinen Nawi, jonka ottoisä lähettää kuningas Ghezon agoji-naissotureista eli minoista koostuvan rykmentin oppiin. Kenraali Naniscan johtamista, kovan harjoittelun ja veristen taistelujen yhteenhitsaamista agojeista Nawi löytää perheen. Agojien taidoille tulee käyttöä, kun Dahomey käy sotaan orjakaupalla rikastunutta Oyon kuningaskuntaa vastaan. Samalla Naniscalle avautuu tie kpojiton, naiskuninkaan, korkea-arvoiseen asemaan, mutta suhde Nawiin vaarantaa nimityksen. Löyhästi tositapahtumiin perustuva elokuva kommentoi kolonialismia feministisestä näkökulmasta. Antropologit ovat kritisoineet elokuvaa, sillä se peittelee agojien roolia transatlanttisen orjakaupan mahdollistajina. Dahomey toimi orjakaupan keskuksena 1860-luvulle saakka.

4. Kadonnut maailma (The Lost World) – Harry O. Hoyt 1925, seikkailu
Arthur Conan Doylen romaaniin perustuva mykkäfilmi on klassinen kolonialistinen seikkailuelokuva, jossa rymistellään kaukomailla tieteen nimissä. Tuittupäinen antropologi George Edward Challenger saa käsiinsä kadonneen tutkimusmatkailijan päiväkirjan, joka vakuuttaa hänet esihistoriallisten eläinten olemassaolosta Etelä-Amerikan syrjäseuduilla. Challengerin luotsaama peribrittiläinen retkikunta kantajineen ja hovimestareineen löytää tiensä salaperäiselle ylängölle, missä he joutuvat vastakkain hirmuliskojen ja ihmisapinoiden kanssa. Satavuotiaan elokuvan huolellisesti valmistellut erikoistehosteet jaksavat edelleen hätkähdyttää. Vuonna 1996 fiktiivisen professori Challengerin työtä kunnioitettiin antamalla uudelle Brasiliasta löydetylle dinosaurukselle nimeksiIrritator challengeri. Kyseessä on ainoa antropologin mukaan nimetty hirmuliskolaji.

5. Je’vida – Katja Gauriloff 2023, draama
Kolmessa aikatasossa kulkeva, ensimmäinen koltansaameksi tehty pitkä elokuva, Je’vida, kertoo samannimisen tytön kasvutarinan. Elokuvassa Je’vida lähetetään lapsena kotitilaltaan asuntolakouluun, jossa hänet pakkosuomalaistetaan. Aikuiseksi vartuttuaan hän jättää saamelaisidentiteetin ja äidinkielen taakseen, kunnes siskon kuolema pakottaa Je’vidan palaamaan kotitilalleen ja kohtaamaan pakkosuomalaistamisen aiheuttaman ylisukupolvisen trauman. Mustavalkoisen teoksen visuaalinen ilme viittaa etnografisiin valokuviin, joita käytettiin saamelaisten eksotisointiin vuosikymmenten ajan. Elokuvalla kolttasaamelainen ohjaaja Gauriloff on halunnut palauttaa valokuvista tutun estetiikan takaisin kansalleen.

6. Embrace of the Serpent (El abrazo de la serpiente) – Ciro Guerra 2015, seikkailu
Embrace of the Serpent tarjoaa vaihtoehtoisen näkökulman tutulle viidakkoseikkailun asetelmalle. Kolumbian Amazoniaan sijoittuvassa mustavalkoelokuvassa seurataan Karamakatea, kansansa viimeistä shamaania, hänen opastaessaan kahta länsimaista tutkijaa salaperäisen pyhän kasvin jäljille: ensin saksalaista antropologia vuonna 1909, sitten yhdysvaltalaista kasvitieteilijää vuonna 1940. Tarinassa sademetsän vaarat kumpuavat kolonialismin aikaansaamasta väkivaltaisesta todellisuudesta. Villieläinten sijaan Karamakate matkakumppaneineen joutuu väistelemään lähetyssaarnaajia, sotilaita ja orjatyövoimalla toimivia kumiplantaaseja. Elokuva pohtii tietoon ja olemassaoloon liittyviä valtakysymyksiä. Kenen etua pyhän kasvin löytyminen palvelee? Entä miksi epäluuloinen Karamakate haluaa johdattaa tutkijoita sen luokse kerta toisensa jälkeen?

7. Parasite (Gisaengchung, 기생충) – Bong Joon Ho 2019, satiiri
Antropologisesta näkökulmasta kiinnostavasti kapitalismia, amerikkalaista imperialismia ja eteläkorealaista luokkayhteiskuntaa kritisoivassa mustassa komediassa Kimin perhe yrittää raapia rahaa kasaan selvitäkseen seuraavaan kuuhun. Poika Ki-woon ystävä lahjoittaa tälle suseokin (수석), oppineiden kiven, joka lupaa perheelle onnea ja menestystä. Ystävä myös järjestää Ki-woon upporikkaan Parkin perheen englanninopettajaksi, vaikka tältä puuttuvat vaadittavat todistukset. Huijaus onnistuu, ja pian Ki-woo on keplotellut koko Kimin perheen hyväuskoisten Parkien leipiin. Ainoastaan pitkäaikaisesta kotiapulaisesta eroonpääsy aiheuttaa päänvaivaa, sillä tällä on salaisuus, joka sitoo hänet isäntäperheen kotitaloon. Kun Parkit lähtevät pois kotoa, Kimien elostelu alkaa ja tapahtumat karkaavat nopeasti käsistä. Oppineiden kiven lupaus paremmasta elämästä kääntyy lopulta kiroukseksi.

8. Taistelu tulesta (Quest for Fire) – Jean-Jacques Annaud 1981, fantasia
Pieni neandertalinihmisten yhteisö joutuu hyökkäyksen kohteeksi, minkä seurauksena heidän tulisijansa sammuu. Koska yhteisö ei tunne tulenteon saloja, lähettävät he kolme jäsentään lainaamaan naapureidensa valkeaa läpi villipetojen ja kannibaalien kansoittaman erämaan. Elokuvassa ei ole dialogia, vaan hahmot kommunikoivat keskenään eleillä, ilmeillä ja örinällä. Todentuntuisuudestaan huolimatta Taistelua tulesta on kritisoitu runsaista asiavirheistään. Se esittää paleoliittisen arjen jokapäiväisenä selviytymistaisteluna, mikä ei arkeologisen ja antropologisen aineiston perusteella pidä paikkaansa. Silti elokuvan näkemys esihistoriallisten ihmisten tulenkäytöstä ei ole täysin tuulesta temmattu: niin neandertalit kuin nykyihmiset näyttävät keksineen ja unohtaneen tulenteon salat useita kertoja historiansa aikana, sillä tulta ei ole aina tarvittu elämiseen.

9. Call me by your name – Luca Guadagnino 2017, rakkaus
Pakahduttavassa ensirakkauden kuvauksessa 17-vuotias Elio viettää vanhempiensa kanssa kesää Pohjois-Italiassa, kun Elion professori-isän vieraaksi saapuu amerikkalainen antiikin filosofian tutkija Oliver. Ohikiitävät päivät täyttyvät vetelehtimisestä, jonka lomassa nuori Elio ja vanhempi Oliver lähentyvät – kunnes kesä vääjäämättä loppuu ja ensirakkauden taika raukeaa. Vaikka antropologialla ei olekaan ajan kulumisen, seksuaalisuuden heräämisen ja ystävyyden tematiikkaa käsittelevässä elokuvassa pääroolia, tuotannossa oli mukana kulttuuriantropologi Carlo Antonelli. Hän vastasi onnistuneesta henkilökehityksestä ja 80-luvun ajankuvasta, joita mestarillinen puvustus, lavastus ja ääniraita tukevat.

10. Jumalan kaupunki (Cidade de Deus) – Fernando Meirelles ja Kátia Lund 2002, rikos
Raketti elää nuoruuttaan 70-luvulla Jumalan kaupungiksi nimetyssä Rio de Janeiron favelassa Brasiliassa. Elämä on näköalatonta, väkivalta arkipäivää ja ihmishenki halpa. Raketti haaveilee poispääsystä, sillä ainoa tapa menestyä favelassa on tehtailla ryöstöjä, myydä huumeita ja tappaa muita, eikä hänestä ole siihen. Pikku-Zé on tehnyt päinvastaisen valinnan ja nousee Jumalan kaupunkia hallitsevan jengin johtoon. Tarinan edetessä Raketin ja Pikku-Zén kohtalot kietoutuvat yhteen. Tositapahtumiin perustuva elokuva pohjaa antropologi Paulo Linsin samannimiseen kirjaan, ja sen kuvaustyyli edustaa antropologi Jean Rouchin kehittämän, dokumentaarisuutta ja fiktiota yhdistävän etnofiktion perinnettä.

Grave vulnerabilità nel sistema SPID
Gravissima falla nello SPID
Oltretutto per un servizio che presto diventerà A PAGAMENTO
Una grave vulnerabilità nel sistema SPID (Public Digital Identity System) consente di creare diverse identità digitali utilizzando lo stesso codice fiscale, senza che il titolare venga avvisato. Attraverso questo difetto, è possibile attivare credenziali parallele, rubare informazioni personali, trasferimenti e pensioni di Hijack Bank, conti correnti aperti e persino iniziare le procedure pubbliche in nome delle vittime inconsapevoli.Il problema è noto da un po 'di tempo, denunciato da esperti di sicurezza informatica (Stefano Fratepietro e Paolo Dal checkco, tra gli altri) e recentemente messi alla luce da segnalazioni di organismi autorevoli come INPS, che conferma la rapida diffusione di queste truffe. Al momento, poiché non esiste un database centralizzato che consente di verificare se altri SPID sono stati attivati a tuo nome, l'unico metodo è quello di contattare i 12 fornitori di identità digitale individualmente per richiedere informazioni.
Oggi cercherò di spiegare l'origine della frode, le dinamiche e i rischi reali e le procedure precise per capire se sei già vittima del fenomeno e per prevenire ulteriori danni economici e personali.

If there were more good people on Lemmy I wouldn't be downvoted. Unfortunately over half of the 38 people that interacted with that comment downvoted it and those can't all be bots.

in reply to foliumcreations • • •You've got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those "quirky, weird" websites people nostalgize over weren't seeking clout, they were seeking connection.
I think it's healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that "followers" are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making "art" with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then... that's just a job, imo.

in reply to foliumcreations • • •It's why I only got into youtube and reddit.
There, in the smaller more niche corners, you can still find genuine interactions. Less and less on reddit, but youtube seems to be going back towards small creators actually being discoverable.
I recently stumbled into a vtuber on youtube with just a couple dozen viewers (1500 subscribers). Clearly doing it for fun, and with a chat slow enough to have a conversation about the game being played, both with her and the other viewers.
Here on the fediverse, it is even smaller and more niche. Sometimes that means there's no-one around. But when people are around, it's people who are a lot more invested in conversing. On popular social media, people are there to turn their brains off, not on.
Others already pointed out that all the problems exist here, too. But I believe that the nature of instances and communities, mean that the small corners that only get found by those who are interested, will always exist. No matter how big the fediverse one day gets.
