Glastonbury (United Kingdom) (AFP) – A British punk-rap group faced growing criticism on Sunday for making anti-Israel remarks at the Glastonbury music festival that have sparked a police inquiry.
Bob Vylan led crowds in chants of "Death, death to the IDF", a reference to the acronym for the Israeli military, during their set on Saturday.
British police officers are also examining comments by the Irish rap trio Kneecap, whose members have likewise been highly critical of Israel and its military campaign against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
One of Kneecap's members wore a T-shirt dedicated to the Palestine Action Group, which is about to be banned under UK terror laws.
The UK government has "strongly condemned" Bob Vylan's chants, which festival organisers said had "very much crossed a line".
"We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence," the festival said in a statement.
Avon and Somerset police said Saturday that video evidence would be assessed by officers "to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation".
The chants about Israel's military, condemned by the Israeli embassy in London, were led by Bob Vylan's frontman Bobby Vylan.
They were broadcast live on the BBC, which airs coverage of Britain's most popular music festival.
"I thought it's appalling, to be honest," Wes Streeting, the Labour's government's health secretary, said of the chants, adding that "all life is sacred".
"I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens," he told Sky News.
The Israel embassy said in a statement late Saturday that "it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival".
But Streeting also took aim at the embassy, telling it to "get your own house in order".
"I think there's a serious point there by the Israeli embassy. I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said, citing Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.
A spokesperson for the BBC said Vylan's comments were "deeply offensive" and the broadcaster had "no plans" to make the performance available on its on-demand service.
Festival-goer Joe McCabe, 31, told AFP that while he did not necessarily agree with Vylan's statement, "I certainly think the message of questioning what's going on there (in Gaza) is right."
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday added his voice to those condemning a British punk-rap group for anti-Israel remarks at the Glastonbury music festival, an incident that has already sparked a police inquiry.
Scusami ma non credo che sia la comunità adatta. Non si tratta di una recensione o di un'analisi del libro, non serve a presentarlo in nessun modo ma si limita a usare alcuni estratti per fare propaganda politica.
Magari esiste una comunità più adatta, ma qui si parla di libri e l'articolo ne parla ben poco (il fatto che tratti marginalmente di scrittorз e intellettualз non è molto rilevante in quanto il focus è sempre politico e incentrato sul tema guerra/riarmo)

There is a potential BYTECODE virus in the "OPEN SOURCE" Microsoft products MAASGRAVE activator. Here is how the virus is hidden and created AT RUN TIME!
I ran the MASSGRAVE "open source" activator on a virtual machine using VMware Workstation. The "open source" code actually also contains "BYTECODE" sections. WHEN YOU RUN THE "HARMLESS LOOKING open source" script, IT basically constructs several virus exe files during runtime FROM THE BYTECODE SECTION !!
These exe files are what does the activation. It also installs backdoors, and potential malware !!
Can some other developer verify this on a virtual machine?
Please spread this message to more advanced Software engineers who understand "BYTECODE" HIDING and exe construction IN OPENSOURCE SCRIPTS AND HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT! Also the first method makes you trust a their website! You don't know what you are downloading from them!

Do you have any actual evidence of this malicious code besides writing with your caps lock on? Frankly, this reads like some poorly-veiled astroturfing to sew distrust in what, as far as I can tell, is the most popular windows piracy tool.
Have you tried checking what the bytecode does? Maybe it's just a way to block detection by Microsoft and antivirus programs, by creating a different binary every time. Just because something isn't written in a high level language doesn't mean it's malicious. But it may be.
Starting line 6040 the Constants class. That isn't bytecode, those are binary blobs that look like licensing/hardware identifiers. Given those byte arrays are named for HWID and KMS that would make sense. They also are also only being used for versioning calls for KMS4k (Key Management Service). There isn't anything suspicious about that.
What you're saying here may be a valid concern, I don't know. I gotta say though, the way you're presenting it discourages people from taking you seriously.
The dramatic language, exclamation points everywhere, the OVERUSE of ALL CAPS for EMPHASIS and so on makes this feel like some Qanon nonsense from Aunt Karen, and the eyes glaze over very quickly while trying to decipher it.
Just a friendly note for future posts, you can take it or leave it.

Touted as China's first 3-on-3 football game between humanoid robots, the event served as a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, set to take place in the Chinese capital this August.
According to the organizers, a key highlight of the competition was that all participating robots operated fully autonomously using AI-driven strategies – without any human intervention or supervision.
Equipped with advanced visual sensors, the robots were able to identify the ball and navigate the field. They were also designed to stand up on their own after falling.
During the game, however, several still had to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff.
Four teams of humanoid robots faced off in a fully autonomous 3-on-3 football game powered entirely by artificial intelligence in Beijing on Saturday night.

"Far-right activists, including members of Betar—a pro-Israel extremist group known for racist violence—have been running a constellation of WhatsApp group chats to plan counterprotests against pro-Palestine demonstrations and commit potential hate crimes against Muslims in New York City.
The chat logs show its members, including individuals publicly affiliated with Betar US, discussing a range of plans and ideas...
Betar US also appears to have had some coordination with local government, with one member stating that they were forwarding information to a local state assemblyman."
Wind and solar companies were already bracing for Congress to end federal subsidies. But the Senate bill goes even further and penalizes those industries.
If you want this to change, it means calling your rep and senators — especially if they're Republicans.

Microsoft EVP Yusuf Mehdi said in a blog post last week that Windows powers over a billion active devices globally. This might sound like a healthy number, but according to ZDNET, the Microsoft annual report for 2022 said that more than 1.4 billion devices were running Windows 10 or 11. Given that these documents contain material information and have allegedly been pored over by the tech giant’s lawyers, we can safely assume that Windows’ user base has been quietly shrinking in the past three years, shedding around 400 million users.
This is probably why Microsoft has been aggressively pushing users to upgrade to Windows 11 after the previous version of the OS loses support — so that its users would install the latest version of Windows on their current system (or get a new PC if their system is incapable of running the latest version). Although macOS is a threat to Windows, especially with the launch of Apple Silicon, we cannot say that those 400 million users all went and bought a MacBook. That’s because, as far back as 2023, Mac sales have also been dropping, with Statista reporting the computer line, once holding more than 85% of the company revenue, now making up just 7.7%.
Iran has just shut off GPS across its territory — and switched to China’s Beidou satellite system. Why now? What does it mean for U.S. dominance in space-based navigation and warfare? In this episode of GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas unpacks Iran’s bold strategic pivot — and why it may mark the beginning of the end for America’s global GPS monopoly. From WhatsApp tracking scandals and drone warfare to China’s high-precision Beidou system and Belt & Road integration, this decision carries major military and geopolitical consequences.
Watch till the end to understand: Why GPS was always a tool of U.S. soft power
How the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis pushed China to develop Beidou
What makes Beidou uniquely powerful in battlefield environments
How Iran and the Global South are quietly building independence from Western tech
Will more countries ditch GPS and align with China’s Beidou system?

Generated Summary:
Main Topic: Iran's decision to disable GPS across its territory and adopt China's Beidou (Bato) satellite navigation system, and the implications of this shift for U.S. dominance in space and global geopolitics.
Key Points:
Iran's Shift: Iran has disabled GPS and adopted China's Beidou, a geopolitical statement driven by concerns over cyber warfare, electronic jamming, and dependence on Western-dominated systems.
Reasons for the Shift:
Rising cyber warfare threats and tensions with the US and Israel.
Geostrategic alignment with China, which offers technical superiority in some areas.
A scandal involving alleged leaks of Iranian officials' locations via WhatsApp and Instagram.
GPS Origins and Dominance: GPS, built and controlled by the US military, became the backbone of global navigation. The US unlocked high precision for civilian access in 2000, fueling the growth of smartphones, Uber, and precision agriculture.
China's Beidou as a Competitor: China developed Beidou after realizing its military vulnerability during the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis. Beidou now rivals GPS, with more satellites and ground stations, offering better positioning accuracy in some regions and unique features like short message communication.
Beidou's Capabilities: Beidou offers high accuracy, anti-jamming protections, and short message communication. It powers over 1.5 billion users daily and is integrated into China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Implications for Iran: Beidou provides Iran with a secure, independent navigation network, enhancing the precision of its military operations and strengthening its economic resilience under sanctions.
Future Trends: China aims to make Beidou the world's go-to system by 2035. The US is upgrading its GPS system, but these upgrades offer only moderate improvements.
Highlights:
Iran's move is not just a tech upgrade but a geopolitical realignment, signaling a shift away from Western digital hegemony.
Beidou is becoming a first-choice alternative for countries seeking political independence.
The US Space Force acknowledges that GPS is lagging in updates.
Beidou's short message communication feature is a unique strategic capability not offered by GPS.
The video poses the question of whether more countries will follow Iran's lead and adopt Beidou.

The BBC refused to provide a live stream of Kneecap’s performance at Glastonbury yesterday, after a member of the Irish hip hop trio was charged with a terror offence for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert last year. It was therefore unfortunate that the preceding act, Bob Vylan, decided to lead chants of “death to the IDF” to crowds saturated with Palestinians flags. Even more embarrassingly for the BBC, the screen behind the two members of Bob Vylan bore the caption: “Free Palestine. The United Nations have called it a genocide. The BBC calls it a ‘conflict’.” Kneecap themselves conducted chants of “fuck Keir Starmer” as a clapback to the Prime Minister saying that their appearance on the Glastonbury stage would not be “appropriate”.

Senate Republicans have quietly inserted provisions in President Trump’s domestic policy bill that would not only end federal support for wind and solar energy but would impose an entirely new tax on future projects, a move that industry groups say could devastate the renewable power industry.
The tax provision, tucked inside the 940-page bill that the Senate made public just after midnight on Friday, stunned observers.
“This is how you kill an industry,” said Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, a nonpartisan group of business leaders and investors. “And at a time when electricity prices and demand are soaring.”
The bill would rapidly phase out existing federal tax subsidies for wind and solar power by 2027. Doing so, many companies say, could derail hundreds of projects under development and could jeopardize billions of dollars in manufacturing facilities that had been planned around the country with the subsidies in mind.
Analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that Republicans’ new version of the legislation would make far deeper cuts and lead to more people becoming uninsured than previous proposals.
After years of promising investors that millions of Tesla robotaxis would soon fill the streets, Elon Musk debuted his driverless car service in a limited public rollout in Austin, Texas. It did not go smoothly.
The 22 June launch initially appeared successful enough, with a flood of videos from pro-Tesla social media influencers praising the service and sharing footage of their rides. Musk celebrated it as a triumph, and the following day, Tesla’s stock rose nearly 10%.
What quickly became apparent, however, was that the same influencer videos Musk promoted also depicted the self-driving cars appearing to break traffic laws or struggle to properly function. By Tuesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had opened an investigation into the service and requested information from Tesla on the incidents.
Let me tell you how thrilled we all are to have a new hazard added to Austin streets.

It's the lack of third places in the US (and increasingly everywhere else). The only place they can unconditionally exist at, outside of their house, is their car.
In these third places in Europe, can I film there? Would it be rude or possibly illegal to film there?
Y'all are wildly reading into something that’s pointless. You’re trying to beat someone down in your own class and finding ways to allow a divide in to separate you. These people reviewing food in their car aren’t your enemy. City planners, department of transportation, landlords, and CEOs are your enemy. They’re the ones that make the system the way it is that necessitates people having cars.
A third place isn’t going to solve this. No third place is going to be set for filming. Is going to be socially comfortable for filming. Just let these people exist and move the fuck on.
