Zarah Sultana quits Labour to start new party with Jeremy Corbyn
Zarah Sultana has resigned from the UK's Labour Party after 14 years to lead a new party with former Labour leader and independent MP Jeremy Corbyn.
"Today, after 14 years, I'm resigning from the Labour Party," she said in a statement on Thursday evening local time.
"Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country."
Sultana cited the Starmer government's support for Israel's war on Gaza as a reason for leaving, saying that "this government is an active participant in genocide. And the British people oppose it."

-There have long been significant divisions between senior figures close to Corbyn over how such a movement on the left should operate - some keen to begin as a new party and others less so. Sources adamant tonight Corbyn not agreed to any joint leadership of a new party.
geneva_convenience doesn't like this.
A MSM journalist opposing progressives by citing "anonymous sources" is not really evidence yet.
If Corbyn does launch a new party, a huge MSM smear campaign like the last time is to be expected.
I always call out this conspiracist stuff when the right do it, so I'll do exactly the same when it come from the left.
As @flamingos-cant@feddit.uk put it, 'either those reports are true or Corbyn went radio silent on the announcement of his new party and let there be room for this speculation.' In fact, both sides are true: the party has been 'launched' without a coherent structure, leadership or even a name (if I'm wrong about this, just... tell me the name), and Corbyn has chosen to say nothing about it. These are facts. There's no smear involved.
Corbyn is not silent though
Jeremy Corbyn outlines plan for new political party and pledges: ‘I am here to serve the people’
I'm not blaming you but the "journalists" in this one. We must not forget the tremendous "antisemite" smear campaign they launched against Corbyn because he opposed Israel.
Right wing tabloid TheDailyMail is already going in full force to generate "speculations of leftist infighting"
We see the BBC staff literally saying that their news favours Israel. TheGuardian is slightly better but has proven for an entire year after October 7 that they will join a media blitz for Israel. And they too smeared Corbyn. Guardian writers like Owen Jones who smeared Corbyn in the past now admit that they were wrong to do so and that Corbyn was right.
Surely you're not going to say that the organized media smear campaign against Corbyn was a "conspiracy".
This is not inconsistent with anything I said yesterday or, indeed, this morning.
There was not an organised media smear campaign against Corbyn. 'The media' is not in any sense a group of people who said 'Let's all agree to tell lies about Corbyn', which is what an organised smear campaign would have to look like. The media has always been persistently unfair, to the level of insanity, about everyone to the left of the Conservatives, but there's nothing organised about it, it's just powerful people representing their own interests.

Corbyn got smeared as an antisemite for opposing Israel
BBC staff now literally says they're forced to do pro-Israel PR
Is there a common theme here?
No. You've taken one thing - the BBC pressurises their journalists to cover Israel positively, which I agree is true - and assumed it means a second thing - that (1) the BBC (2) smeared Corbyn (3) as an antisemite (numbers here because these are three separate claims that you haven't justified, within the broader claim you also haven't justified). You've then additionally taken that bundle of unproven claims as evidence of another different claim: that 'the media' as a whole, i.e., not just the BBC, 'smeared Corbyn' because he 'opposed Israel'.
With respect, this is exactly what I meant about conspiracist thinking: you're taking loosely related ideas (some of them true, some of them not) and bundled them together to claim a vaguely defined malevolent entity ('the media') is out to get someone. This is conspiracist thinking! That's what that is!
So you do not believe the claim that the BBC is spreading pro Israel propaganda? I'm saying the media has always been doing this. They're simply going full mask off these days. And it's proving their political motivation on smearing Corbyn in the past.
Not every conspiracy is false. And this one is fully undeniable. It's like you're so convinced that it can't be true that you won't believe it no matter how much evidence is presented. BBC is doing literal Goebbels tier propaganda for a literal genocide for Israel and I'm somehow supposed to believe that this is all a conspiracy
Then there's people, like the Canary, who are trying to spin the reports of Corbyn hostility as a media smear.
Like, either those reports are true or Corbyn went radio silent on the announcement of his new party and let there be room for this speculation. You'd think someone who's been dealing with a hostile media for a decade would know better.

Jeremy Corbyn discusses possible creation of new party
The former UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he is working with a group of independent MPs on the possible creation of a new party.Speaking on IT...YouTube
It's amazing that to gage if Corbyn supports Sultana's party we have to read between the lines of an interview with ITV from a few days ago instead of Corbyn just stating he's with the initiative.
Either the reports are true, or this is a major comms failure on the yet-to-be-named party's part. Having the initial talk of your new party being if the supposed co-founder is involved isn't a good look. Corbyn has a lot to be rightfully mad at the media for, but this is one is on him.
To be clear is this "the evidence that Corbyn is furious"? A writer for the right wing "The Sunday Times"? or am I missing something?
Just for anyone still following this odd developing story, Corbyn has now issued a statement in which he says 'discussions are still ongoing' about a 'real alternative', but does not say he's going to be co-leader of anything. This seems to me to match what Jessica Elgot and Gabriel Pogrund were reporting yesterday: that, contra Zarah Sultana's statement, there's not (yet) a new party and Corbyn is not co-leader.
Cc. @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml
I would be all for a new left-wing party but I don't particularly think it would be a good idea to have Corbin anywhere near it. As much as I agree with him as a person he's truly awful at being a politician. He just doesn't seem to play the game very well.
Him being in an advisory role would be absolutely fine.
Seems like they are confirming they are working on it? Where does it say she won't co-lead? And co-leading doesn't mean being the party leader. Maybe it's a kind of vice-president position.
Again, I'm struggling here, because as in our previous discussions, you don't seem to be replying to the words I've written. I said: 'Corbyn is not co-leader', and you reply, 'Where does it say [Sultana] is not co-leader?'
As often with supporters of Corbyn, I find your willingness to read whatever you want into his sayings a source of frustration. If he is co-leading this new foundation, or party, or whatever it is, why did he not just say so? Why use the passive voice? I suspect the reason he writes these convoluted non-statements - who is 'us'? What is a 'new kind' of party? Who is shaping it? Amongst whom are discussions ongoing? - is precisely to avoid anyone pinning him down to anything concrete.
Where did it say Corbyn would co-lead? Where did it say Corbyn won't co-lead? If Zarah says something and Corbyn doesn't deny it then the statement is not disproven. Co-leading means holding a leadership role, not being its full leader. I really don't understand why you're so keen on claiming a false positive when there are no contradictory statements
I suspect the reason he writes these convoluted non-statements - who is ‘us’? What is a ‘new kind’ of party? Who is shaping it? Amongst whom are discussions ongoing? - is precisely to avoid anyone pinning him down to anything concrete.
When he starts assembling a new party he knows the news will leak quickly. So now that he starts this endeavor there's no real point in keeping it secret. Corbyn is playing open card here and somehow people are still nitpicking.
As often with opponents of Corbyn, I find your willingness to read whatever you want into his sayings a source of frustration
Again, the case is the exact opposite of the one you're making. 'When he starts assembling a new party he knows the news will leak' - so why did he not have a clear statement ready? Because he has nothing to say. He's 'playing open card' but he's incapable of even saying who is putting the party together, or confirming if he's in some sort of leadeship role. Why? Because he has nothing to say.
Frankly, I think Sultana knows that waiting for Corbyn to commit to anything will take forever. She was probably trying to bounce him into taking an actual position and, as most people have found, he just doesn't want to. Good for her for trying something big but, for her sake, I hope this shows her it's time to move on from the guy.
You have got to stop putting this dim, narcissistic man on a pedestal and taking your fanfic about him as reality. The reason he has said nothing concrete is that he has nothing to say.
The reason he has said nothing concrete is that he has nothing to say.
The premise of my argument is that Corbyn most definitely has actual positions. In fact, he has the strongest of positions.

Ok, that's fair, thank you.
But distributed geographical sites? Useful for SME's and above, but aside from a few edge cases where friends might want to share hosting resources, is that a homelab thing?
I think the distributed feature is just a bonus really.

After 47 years in the US, Ice took this Iranian mother from her yard. Her family just wants her home
Kaitlynn Milne says her mother is usually always up first thing in the morning, hours before the rest of the family. She enjoys being productive in the quiet hours around sunrise. It’s an especially optimal time to do yard work, when the rest of her New Orleans neighborhood still sleeps and she can count on peacefully completing chores.
Gardening and rearranging the shed is how an average morning would go for Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old Iranian mother, wife, home cook, parent-teacher association (PTA) member and lifelong community service volunteer.
“She always says: ‘I’ve already done most of my day before y’all even wake up,’ complaining at us,” said Kaitlynn, 32. It was always done with love, she says, as her mother adores taking care of others and would wake up every morning excited to do just that.
But the morning of Sunday, 22 June, didn’t go like every other morning. In the early hours, while her husband, Russell Milne, slept inside the house, Kashanian was approached in her yard by plainclothes men who identified themselves as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents.

Jeremy Corbyn hints at launch of new party as leftwing alternative to Labour
Jeremy Corbyn has hinted he could launch a political party alongside other leftwing independent MPs in an attempt to offer “an alternative” to Labour, before the next general election.
Speaking on ITV’s Peston programme, the former Labour leader confirmed discussions were under way among the Independent Alliance group of MPs that he co-founded last year.
Asked directly whether they were preparing to form a new party, Corbyn did not rule it out. “That grouping [of independents] will come together, there will be an alternative,” he said.

Should Lemmy add a Modmail feature similar to Reddit's?
On Reddit, Subreddits have a "Modmail" feature that allows users to message all subreddit moderators at once, and moderators can respond collaboratively.
Should Lemmy consider potentially implement something similar, for Communities?
Even a basic version — like leveraging the already existing DM feature to have a Group DM that automatically includes all moderators and the user who sent the message — could help improve communication between users and community mod teams.
This could just use Lemmy's existing DM system but adapted for group messages tied to the mod team of a specific community.
Later on, if this proves to be successful, it could potentially be tweaked even further, and have support for Modchat, via the same Group DM as the potential Modmail.

Windows machine running a Linux VM at 4K 240Hz
I don't know if this is common knowledge but I hadn't found anything on the web (for Windows specifically) that stated that this was possible.
I kinda badly want to fully switch to Linux in the short term but wanted to first properly test how different distros feel at these specs (and maybe try some basic gaming too); maybe someone that wants to do the same can find this post useful (I hope this is the right community to post to).
To do this I used QEMU, and had to edit the source code and recompile it to enable 240hz.
Forcing higher refresh rates is surprisingly not that hard, I only had to edit a single line of code (hw\display\edid-generate.c, line ~390, set '75000' to '240000').
So far Mint, Fedora and KDE Neon work perfectly at that refresh rate (after adjusting mouse input polling rates), then I added a couple other nice features like shared clipboard and mouse device toggling (I tested q2pro and it wouldn't work with absolute mouse coordinates, and relative mouse was a pain to use in normal desktop browsing, so I had to find a way to toggle them if I didn't want to reboot the VM every time).
This is my very first lemmy post (hi fedi!), I wrote this lengthy blog post detailing how I did everything, hopefully I'm allowed to post it here (reddit traumatized me with the blanket banning).

Context: I recently purchased a hotel stay where a merchant charged my card for the advertised price on their website, the amount was then refunded. Then another merchant charged my card a higher amount (a few hundred) all in a few seconds of the original transaction.
Edit: I found Wise provides limits on their virtual cards. I have yet to test how this works and if the transaction is declined for Insufficient funds, does anyone have experience with this?

BBC staff: we're forced to do pro-Israel PR
More than a hundred BBC employees have written a letter to the director general, Tim Davie, complaining that the Corporation has become a mouthpiece for Israel. It was also signed by 300 other journalists and media professionals: one of them was yours truly. The BBC employees, as you would expect, are all anonymous, because otherwise they would face grave consequences to their careers.
The letter says:
We’re writing to express our concerns over opaque editorial decisions and censorship at the BBC on the reporting of Israel/Palestine. We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary ‘Gaza: Medics Under Fire’ is just one in a long line of agenda driven decisions. It demonstrates, once again, that the BBC is not reporting “without fear or favour” when it comes to Israel.
It goes on to note that the decision not to broadcast the investigation was taken by BBC management despite the content being signed off in accordance with BBC guidelines and editorial policy, which it says “Appears to be a political decision”, adding that the BBC response shows the organisation “is crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.”

This is such a wonderful project. I am so grateful that it exists.
Thank-you everyone. Truly.
I'm back again with another question: Wine/Proton
A few days ago I asked about taking the big leap, but I use my PC for work in the arts (voice over, music, digital art, etc).
I've been playing around with Bitwig to replace Cubase and ideally Adobe Audition. It's... a learning curve but I'm willing to make it work if I can get everything about my PC lined up with Linux.
I then discovered Wine and Proton. So, they're basically bridges that allow you to use some Windows programs in Linux? I read they can use vst files with a bit of work, and people have had some success with Cubase, though Adobe is still right out but I'd love to get away from Adobe anyway. Also games??
Is there a difference between Wine and Proton or are they basically just different programs that do the same thing? The big leap might be more feasible than I thought if they do what I think they do.
Edit: This seems like it could suit most of my needs. I need to do more research into it but you guys answered my questions. Appreciate you all taking the time, thanks!
So, they're basically bridges that allow you to use some Windows programs in Linux?
They are like really Bad cocaine. Sure, it may work, but if you want to give up that much time, might as well learn an alternative because the next version will need a new workaround.
I read they can use vst files with a bit of work
That's an emulator.
Is there a difference between Wine and Proton
Proton-ge is a fork of proton is a fork of wine, which only exists because Wine isnt made for gaming specifically and proton can't include a bunch of stuff because of legal reasons which enhance gaming further.
