Zionist enemy media reported that sirens sounded in several settlements and occupied cities within historic Palestine following the detection of two missiles launched from Yemen.
There's an AUR open-tv package for Arch/Artix/..., and there's even an AUR open-tv-bin version, but I prefer looking at the build recipes if available, and if not using Arch/Artix/... one can read through the PKGBUILD and see how it builds.
This week you guys thought they were lying when they reiterated words from Zelensky
Yeah, I think reconfiguring the bots with a new narrative is long overdue tbh...
It's one thing to question how objective are Russian sources when talking about ukraine, but those bots post the same "this is Russian propaganda" / "this is unreliable source" narrative even under articles from western medias, and it even gets posted under articles from ukrainian sources, where the next recommended article is usually something like "illegally, unprovokedly and full-scale invading orcs just massacred triillions of innocent ukrainian women and children" which is just peak comedy :/
At least add filtering on domains before commenting or something, it's not that hard XD
Andrew is such a crybaby. Whether it's India, immigration issues, or Europe setting itself up to be destroyed, he reliably spreads hysteria on his set of pet issues. Andy boy, if the UK doesn't get nuked in WW3, there's little chance of it facing comeuppance instead of peacefully Eurasianizing! Trust the plan!
The possible deployment of nuclear-capable F-35As there, which could be equipped with US air-to-ground nukes since the UK no longer has its own, would give London a leading role in managing the joint Arctic-Baltic front against Russia that’s expected…
Far less useful, far more dangerous, but maaan the people love it. 🤷🏼♂️ I guess, like the OG monkey bars and swing-set over old concrete slabs... it can stay. The people've spoken.

"The article below first appeared in the Los Angeles Times on July 5, 2025. The protest the article describes was a fitting way to mark US Independence Day, given the Trump administration’s intensified workplace raids and deportations of undocumented immigrants. L.A. has been the epicenter of many such protests over the last month since the White House picked the city to launch its aggressive dragnet, carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, targeting millions of workers across the country.
As a recent article published by the Washington Post revealed, ICE arrests have more than doubled since Trump took office in January, compared to the same period last year."

"In one of the houses that we had been in, we had the big territory. This was the closest to the citizens' neighbourhood, with people inside. And there's an imaginary line that they tell us all the Gazan people know it, and that they know they are not allowed to pass it," he said. "But how can they know?"
People who crossed into this area were most often shot, he said. "It was like pretty much everyone that comes into the territory, and it might be like a teenager riding his bicycle," he said.
The soldier described a prevailing belief among troops that all Gazans were terrorists, even when they were clearly unarmed civilians. This perception, he said, was not challenged and was often endorsed by commanders.
Admit what? everything is known, we all know the type of inhumanity they practice, I think it's better if they get marshalled, good propaganda "he admits that they were committing crimes and he got jailed"
Everyone knew Hunter was a fuck up. The political gotcha was that supposedly it involved the Big Guy. Except it didn't in anything but Hunters attempt to make himself seem important.
The previously made claims that it was all Russian disinformation have been walked back in 2020. The Burisma emails showing Biden had contact with his sons business partners was very sketchy too. nbcnews.com/news/records-relea…
Most damning of all is of course Biden saying he would never pardon his own son, the liberal media touting it as a hero move, followed by... Biden pardoning his own son.
No one gives a shit about the laptop because it's tainted, and there's sworn testimony that the guy in the White House right now is a pedophile, adjudicated rapist, and a felon.
No one gives a shit about the laptop because it’s tainted
Yeah can't disagree with that. The only reason I responded to it is because unlike the Epstein list they didn't just dream up the laptop (though they did exaggerate stuff) and I wouldn't compare the two.
Ultimately, even if this was an true... It still doesn't justify a modicum of the response from the IDF.
The "shocking truth", putting aside is validity, is still no where near as shocking as the continual genocide.
I just don't understand how they don't see that. Not only is your narrative false, it still wouldn't matter if it wasn't. It still doesn't justify the reaction in the slightest
They aren't necessarily trying to make us support Israel, they just don't want us to support Palestinian resistance. They like the status quo of people condemning Hamas.
Yeah I think the one that shut them down best was the BBS reporter asking 'If Hamas was holding the hostages in Israel, would you still be bombing them like you are in Gaza?'
The UN watched all the CCTV and bodycam footage from oct7 and concluded nothing in it contained rape.
Either Hamas are magicians and know where all the CCTV cameras are in one of the most surveilled places on earth, or it's all made up.
Seeing how they got someone who proved to be lying about "witness testimonies" was called to write the article, it's safe to say that everything in it is a work of fiction.
Surely this is the part where they go "oh, thank you for the additional info. This has informed my opinion and I have now updated my views accordingly."
On July 2, the Associated Press released an exposé containing short videos which appeared to show American mercenaries associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opening fire on aid-seekers in Gaza during an incident in southern Gaza this May. The footage was supplied by a former employee of UG Solutions, a firm charged with securing GHF distribution sites.
In an apparent attempt to control the damage from the AP investigation, UG Solutions has distributed a pair of videos comprising over seven minutes of footage to the press.
The newly released footage offers an unprecedented glimpse of the disturbing interactions between the starving population of Gaza and well-armed, clearly unprepared Americans hired to provide security for GHF’s chaotic aid operations.
Filmed by one of its own employee, the recordings were seemingly distributed in an effort to show UG Solutions’ agents have not fired live bullets on unarmed crowds of Palestinians. According to a UG Solutions statement, the videos “not only clarify what happened, but provide critical context, which contradicts that [sic] AP’s reporting and shows that the accusations are unfounded.”
The group’s combined GDP is $20 trillion greater than that of the Western bloc, the Russian president has said
BRICS has already outstripped the Western-dominated Group of Seven in terms of combined GDP, Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated.
Speaking via video link at a plenary session of the 17th annual BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, Putin said that the “BRICS member states not only account for a third of the Earth’s land, and almost half the planet’s population, but also 40% of the global economy.”
President Donald Trump was brutally mocked over the weekend after he referred to Japan's leader as "Mr. Japan."The president made the statement during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo about tariffs.
Thanks for the source. After watching the video, the "Mr. Japan" bit was honestly much less noteworthy than the completely incoherent rambling about sending letters to countries congratulating them on the privilege of being able to "shop in the USA". He just kept repeating that and then naming random percentages. It felt like I was having a stroke trying to understand what he was even trying to say.
This. Also, he apparently still doesn't understand how tarifs work. Is he still under the impression the country he puts the tarifs on pays them and not the company who imports from them?
Have y'all seen the clip where a reporter at alligator aushwitz asks him how long detainees will be held there, and he doesn't understand the question, gets it repeated, and then still doesn't understand so starts rambling about how much he loves Florida and will be there as long as he can. He also takes the opportunity to say the oval office wasn't well cared for, but he's cleaned up and made it a "beautiful diamond".
Because of French government demands to remove creators from our platform, Rumble is currently unavailable in France. We are challenging these government demands and hope to restore access soon.
Sorry but he is totally your president. You can't be in favor of the democratic process of elections and then distance yourself from the outcome.
You as a nation voted for Trump. He's your president. You own the consequences along with all Americans.
I don’t keep up with everything he does
You should, if only to know when the ICE Gestapo might come knocking at your door or when it's time to flee because it's too dangerous to stay in the US.
Most people who say "Not my president" are Americans who feel ashamed. Nobody else in the world feels the need to say that because they have no reason to be ashamed.
No, were ashamed that our species is collectively capable of voting for a guy like him. We'd love to point a finger at Americans and imitate Nelson with a "Ha Ha!" of pure Schadenfreude (and maybe even a meme of "That's the worst president they've elected in the history of their nation! - That's the worst president they've elected in the history of their nation so far!" or watch from the distance saying "He's about to do something stupid")
But honestly, we just can't laught at Americans while they're not only affecting and destroying their lifes but also try to drag down as many others world wide as they can.
I don't live in America, I never had American citizenship, nor family or relatives or any responsibility to vote in your mess guys. Still my president you say?
Not initial replier, but I too immediately assumed you were an American who didn't vote for him.
Likely because of all the, people, we had running around Canada for five or so years saying "Trudeau isn't my Prime Minister!", amongst other more colourful anti-Trudeau slogans.
Funniest shit I've ever seen. The Republicans didn't need to cheat! Fucking acknowledge that the Democrats were willing patsies in getting Trump a second term, same as for the first. They could easily win elections by moving their politics even slightly left, but prefer to lobby exclusively for the votes of the seven undecided enlightened centrists in the country, then blame anyone left of those imaginary dudes when they inevitably lose.
There is no such thing as the Republican Party. It is 100% dead, and replaced by the MAGA Party. The Republicans may not have cheated, but cheating and corruption is the MAGA brand, and they can't help themselves.
Even if every poll showed MAGA winning by 30 points, they'd STILL cheat, because they wouldn't know how to NOT cheat.
Ah okay so it doesn't matter that the Dems are ineffective stooges who are doing all the work they can not to get elected, got it.
Like, if the MAGA party cheats so much, how come they win? Yes, they cheat, but bow come they are allowed to do that? Shouldn't their so-called opposition stop them? How come that doesn't happen? How come that they only seem to continue the politics of the MAGA people, like Biden did after Trump and like Kamala promised to do if elected?
You have a child's understanding of politics. Realize the political class as a whole is not out for your benefit and the game is fucking rigged.
While we don't all know he cheated, we do all know he totally would if he thought he could get away with it, and there are some troubling irregularities in the vote counts.
Well, we know they did at least one major act of elections fraud, but Pence wouldn't do their bidding and use the fraudulent electoral slates from 7 or so states. Which got him black balled by the GOP. So, who knows what else is happening.
Mr (Annoying) Orange or Mr Hairdo, I guess you could go with Mr Freedom but I'm not sure it's a good fit. Let's Build a Wall and Let's Build a Gulag isn't what Real Mr Freedom would say but that's just my opinion
I used to feel that way, but Trump has done so much damage he's just not fucking funny anymore, and I wish people would stop generating all the noise to point out how stupid he is. We know, and by now it's WAAAY past funny.
I remember when George W. Bush was grilled on the names of world leaders at the time and he flunked it hard... but even he wouldn't have made something as stupid as Mr. Japan...
Shigeru Sugita was considered one of the most influential sportsmen in his field and won the Mr Universe title in 1976 - the year before Arnold Schwarzenegger won the same competition himself
It's our Republic and I think while what is happening now is despicable it won't push enough people. Suspending elections. ... That will rouse the nation.
What makes you think suspending an election is going to tip the scales?
Mostly that at least right now there's hope for midterms to change things in Congress and then the presidential election to get Trump out. Right now we still have the trappings of a Republic. I think if elections got suspended all belief in a peaceful solution will be erased and people will react.
You have a point though, bread and circuses go a long way towards kowtowing the population. That and the risk of death at the hands of the state. I don't know where the line is that people will readily accept potentially getting shot especially if they're in white man suburbia.
I’m terrible with names. I fully admit it. But if I forget a name I just ask “what was his name again?” or something along those lines. A normal person would just keep saying “the prime minister”, or I don’t know, just make the effort to remember the names of major world leaders since it’s your fucking job. Not Mr. Japan OR Tim Apple.
Why some people think he’s intelligent is beyond me.
I thought he ment it as: Tim - Apple (as in Tim of Apple) or Tim, Apple (as in Tim and Apple). When you listen to the it really sounds like he's saying Tim Apple but I don't know if people really think he misspoke or if it's just too funny of a meme to pass up.

Without Trump's giant ego & do what I say because of who I am personality running the show I think there would be a lot more scrutiny on his actions and less "gotta do what daddy says".
If Biden had done something like this there'd would half a bazillion articles about how he's falling apart from the left and right. Trump does it and everyone's just "oh how quaint a trumpism"
Because .world users are frothy dipshits who cant handle complexity or subtlety or poetic speech and often have like a fucking full-on perceptive filter about disagreement while they blather on about all their favorite genocides and voting blue no matter who (except him, obviously).
.world has Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net blocked, not Lemmy.ml. If .worlders could not see Lemmy.ml posts, they would not be able to see OP, OP's post, or the community we are commenting in.
Coincidentally, dbzer0 blocks Lemmygrad.ml as well.
.world is filled with frothing neoliberal/zionist fanatics tgat will just straight up pretend they didnt read shit if it contradicts their beliefs. More than half the time i run into someone totally oblivious who cannot get a bit its a .world. Also they're too fucking big, which is bad fir the fediverse in general and also makes dumping on them morally cool.
Everything this administration say or does is bullshit, outright lies and filth. Keep writing articles about what that pus fountain press sec spews, or the open sore attorney general, or the torn bloody asshole trump, it’s all bullshit open sewer nonsense. Nothing they say means anything, we have to do our thing in spite of it, and not actually respond in any way, or treat them as though they mean anything, cause they don’t.
This group has long carried out frequent and persistent cyberattacks against school broadcast systems across China, attempting to crack passwords, hijack broadcasts, and spread harmful content. The targeted school in this case had its broadcast system directly linked to a publicly accessible webpage, with the login password set as a simple string of consecutive numbers—an obvious vulnerability for the attackers. State security authorities immediately guided the school's management in implementing corrective measures, cutting off the foreign intrusion at its source.
The Ministry of State Security (MSS) on Monday disclosed a case in which an unidentified foreign IP address, disguised as a regular user, infiltrated a Chinese school's network broadcast system in an attempted cyberattack to manipulate broadcast con…
Millions of people using Windows 10 are facing a tough choice. Microsoft plans to stop offering security updates for the system, leaving countless computers
Most consumer hardware on earth does already (Android phones). The problem is those drivers are usually proprietary bullshit that's very difficult to integrate with anything but OEMs kernel fork & Android version. Unfortunately I don't really foresee that changing in the near future, hopefully if Linux becomes more mainstream, Linux phones become too and then we get some progress.
And for laptops/desktops, I think the situation is pretty good already as well. Many mainstream OEMs have an option with Linux pre-installed now, and the drivers there are mostly FOSS. I'm hoping that the problematic part vendors e.g. NVidia and Broadcom step up and provide sources for their drivers - otherwise they will continue to be a buggy mess that most people hate.
Nvidia recently started NVK for Turing and newer and even more recently it was made conformant going back to Maxwell, but that still doesn't give me a lot of hope for everything between Maxwell 1 (so basically just the GTX 750/750Ti for desktop Maxwell 1 cards) and Turing after driver version 580.
Also, Nouveau works for Maxwell 1 and earlier but ymmv with that stack, and it's still not like Mesa RADV and AMDGPU for Radeon cards going back to GCN1.
A big factor in Europe right now is a shifting relationship with the US.
Companies, governments, and individuals have some incentive to find alternatives to big US tech. For operating systems, Linux is really the only option.
Ok is what is the "META" answer to grandma's laptop is going to get borked. Put this USB stick in her laptop and press next a bunch of times and she can keep using it. You have 5 lines of text to explain this solution.
I think the trick has to be that somebody who has a bit of technical skill sets the laptop up initially. I did this for my mom a while back, and once I set it up once, it just worked from there on. Non technical users tend to have a fairly small set of things they need to do like check email, browser the web, and play media. Once that's working, they never need to change anything. In fact, they don't want to change anything because they get used to the workflow, and they're comfortable.
It would be great if people set up community centres where people can bring their old laptops, and somebody switches them over to Linux for them.
Ok, what I am hearing is Nixos but with an installer like this
Rufus ISO to usb stick stick usb stick into computer press magical button to boot usb <-- this should be the most difficult part of the process Screen appears, least amount of text possible Ask only the important questions, on a single screen
then one last big scary page "this will erase everything on your computer"
Check "I understand" then press"ERASE BUTTON" (or cancel and reboots)
then it reboots and everything your average grandmother needs right there a google button an office button and that's pretty much it
Cool, so we need two things, The most streamlined installer possible. "Grandma's Universal Nix.Conf"
The installer should be written using 4th grade simple english, no jargon
In the top right corner there should be a language selector.
There should be only one page of questions.
The installer should work completely offline.
The installer should detect all peripherals and modify the nix file accordingly.
The second page should only be tge warning about erasing everything
The installer should detect if a nixos installation already exist. If it does, then offer the user to repair the bootloader
Optionally, the installer coukd detect a windows installation. Check the amount of free space left on the drive.
In this case instead of a wipe, offer to shrink the windows partition and install nixos in the liberated space. Install a bootloader setup for dual boot. Auto mount the ntfs partition and place a shortcut to the c:\user folder on the desktop.
I think we can be even simpler than that. Don't ask any questions. Simply generate the hardware-configuration.nix and have a single configuration.nix that is unchanged:
Some easy-to-use and simple DE. I'm thinking something like lxqt or xfce, maybe Pantheon - but that would be more familiar to Mac users than Windows. KDE seems way too complicated to just have it in configuration.nix without touching it, and it can sometimes break on updates.
Chromium (with pre-installed ublock origin)
Libreoffice
Some flatpak store (so that people can install apps without touching configuration.nix)
Make a simple "update" app that just pops up once in a couple weeks or so, prompts you to click a button and then runs npins update and nixos-rebuild boot, and finally annoys you until you reboot (it should also update to the next stable channel when that becomes available, and make that a big deal so that a user understands it might change some of their workflows)
Set up the bootloader so that if a generation "fails" (some script in the autostart of the DE doesn't set a flag somewhere) on the next boot it boots a previous generation, kinda like Android's A/B slot system but better. I don't think systemd-boot allows this sort of thing, but I think it's possible with a GRUB script
Maybe add a shortcut to open tmate and copy the URL to clipboard, so that you can send it someone in the know and they can help you troubleshoot
Finally, use impermanence to make sure everything outside /home, /nix, and wherever flatpak are stored, is wiped on every reboot and recreated from the generation, so that "reboot it" is a viable troubleshooting strategy.
Installed should be downloaded by going to grandmasnixos.com On the front page, a single click starts to download a single file, that contains everything It is a tailored rufus executable with the ISO that contains everything to make it to first desktop boot When download ends, no internet connection will be required to make it to grandmasnixos desktop
When the file is clicked and a usb stick has been inserted beforehand, the grandmasnixos ISO is preselected, rufus autochooses the usb stick
User only needs to press "start"
The motherboard version is checked against a lookup table, and the user is told
Reboot computer a press $KEY_TO_USB_BOOT and choose to boot the usb key
Installation is a single screen that says "This will erase everything on this computer, to continue, click the checkbox below" [ ] I understand this will erase everything on my computer buttons below [ ERASE AND INSTALL GRANDMASNIXOS ] or [ CANCEL AND REBOOT] (first button only clickable if the checkbox is checked)
(there is an "Options and settings" button somewhere, it does not have to be clicked to continue)
No further user interaction until it boots into a working desktop
There is no password by default, the desktop auto-logs in, no remote access is possible until a password is set, sudo works passwordless
There should be no updating unless enabled, no telemetry, no call home of any kind, the system should be able to work offline and forever without an internet access and never nag the user.
The desktop environment should be something occasional win10 using grandma will not get lost in
Taskbar at bottom Desktop that you can dump files onto and start stuff by clicking those files systray on the right Large font start menu Start menu includes a single settings panels that does everything a user needs (passwords, wifi, power management, update, timezone, language, locale, host and domain name, remote desktop etc..)
taskbar should have pinned the most important apps file browser, browser, calculator, notepad, word-like and maybe a mail client maybe a zoom? client or something equivalent but open source and usable ?
If updating is turned on, it should be very conservative, updates hand curated by grandmasnixos, basically never uses software that hasn't been proven rock solid for at least 6 months. Rolling back any update should be one-click-trivial
On first boot there could be an "out of box experience" screen that allows setting up
wifi password region/timezone/locale/language power settings host and domain name password enable updates enable remote desktop and services open easy user guide
So total, from download to desktop it should be 8 clicks total counting press F9 during boot as a "click"
There should be no updating unless enabled <...> and never nag the user.
I disagree, at that point you might as well continue using Win10. Security updates are the #1 reason to do this. Most computer use nowadays is networked (actually in a browser), and it's super important we keep that updated.
If updating is turned on, it should be very conservative, updates hand curated by grandmasnixos, basically never uses software that hasn’t been proven rock solid for at least 6 months
Eh, this sounds like a lot of work. Probably just use the stable channels, and only manually test when switching to a new stable channel.
Rolling back any update should be one-click-trivial
Agreed, should also be very obvious (like a label on the desktop that says "Issues after update?" and gives you a button to roll back and reboot)
The desktop environment should be something occasional win10 using grandma will not get lost in
This is the main question IMHO. I've not used any DEs for a while, so don't really know which one would fit this best while also being simple and robust.
Yeah basically, a turn key solution where your machine gets wiped and imaged with a Linux distro that does all the basic stuff most people need would be an ideal solution. A good way to look at it would be making sort of a Linux based console for non technical users as opposed to a general purpose computer. Tech people want the latter, but non technical users just want a reliable tool that can reliably handle a few tasks.
Yes, I find it baffling that this does not yet exist. I was installing debian the other day and the incessant one-question-at-a-time installation with long delays between the question was aggravating. In particular since none of these questions really needed to be answered at the time.
Proxmox does it better, but still with annoying questions and limitation like having a mandatory static IP address and making your enter an email address notification. This is all actually optional stuff and it could all be dealt with after the install is completed.
I've got only one machine left running Windows 10 at home: a desktop PC I use exclusively for gaming. I increasingly look forward to purging Windows from it and installing Bazzite when the EOL date comes around.
Imagine the sludge in their shriveled little hearts to feel anything but profound sadness and/or rage looking at that sign. I used to think there was good in everyone. I was wrong.
I know a lot of stupid people who choose to be good as well. Stupid people who know to trust scientists and who want to share and all that good stuff. Then there are the violent, monkey-brained goons whose only method of communicating is unfiltered violence. The latter are pathetic in all senses and no amount of being stupid will be an adequate enough excuse for their actions.
Quite the opposite in fact, they were directly inspired by previous settler-colonialism and successful genocide.
Writing in “Mein Kampf” in the 1920s, Hitler praised the way the “Aryan” America conquered “its own continent” by clearing the “soil” of “natives” to make room for more “racially pure” settlers and lay the foundation for its economic self-sufficiency and growing global power. Indeed, the concept of Lebensraum was coined and popularized by Friedrich Razel, who said his theory of colonization and racial replacement drew inspiration from the American historian Frederick Jackson Turner’s “frontier thesis” and its identification of “colonization of the Great West” as central to American history and identity.
Can’t verify that exact photo but the sign is real. Terrible ad-ridden site for Local 10 news but in the “Friday noon report” video you can see video with the sign in it.
As the first wave of migrant detainees prepares to arrive, Florida officials are finalizing construction on what critics are now calling “Alligator Alcatraz.”

I know I'm not getting the metaphor here because to me, this looks like Republicans and Democrats working together to impale fascism using the power societies gain when wielding the "stake" of communism??
It seems to be a play on "horseshoe theory" where libs always place themselves in the middle and leftist and right wingers are on the ends, closer together. With the implication that leftists have "circled back" to facsism.
There is also "Fishhook theory", Where the same principle is true, but more in line with this "stick theory" where the Fishhook places the far right beside liberalism/centrism.
In this one, it's a stick, facsism is at the bottom, Dems and Republicans are just barely above that and communism is at the top. The main difference between this and fish hook is that fish hook relies on the curve coming back to make them close, while stick theory says they are just close period.
Tell me more about how democrats are not like republicans. How they're not owned by the billionaires. How they didn't deport people. How they implemented medical care for all. How they codified Roe.
This is not "both sides" but quite the opposite - there's a good and progressive side (top of the stick) and a depraved and evil side (bottom of the stick). While the parties differ in their demeanor (e.g. civility, rule of law), their goals are quite similar, which is why both are at the same position on the political spectrum.
The Democrats literally conceded immigration as a national security issue and changed the debate to who could solve it more efficiently in the 2024 elections.
Even before they publicly accepted the Republican framing, Obama built the concentration camps Trump was derided for during his first term.
Obama literally built them as and used them as concentration camps wtf are you talking about. They weren't all encompassing resorts that Trump remodeled.
Trump also claims he's only targeting criminals and human traffickers, the only difference is you rightfully don't believe him, but wrongfully believe the Dems.
It's not the same as always, it's worse under Trump2 than it was under Biden, or even Trump1. If Kamala won, it would also be worse than Trump 1 or Biden, you just wouldn't care. Just like you didn't care when Biden was as bad as Trump1.
The point is not that things are always the same, the point is that both parties serve the same donors and core system and will ultimately do what the system demands of them. That's why the Dems started pushing the same "immigration as a national security" issue, they were manufacturing consent.
Generic percentage increases to immigration enforcement are not the same as Kristi Noem tweeting about SIXTY-FIVE MILLION PEOPLE, no matter how strongly you feel about the shit we were doing before.
The Idiot is talking about stripping natural-born citizens of that citizenship, and sending them all to cat-food factories in Sudan, and y'all still wanna bicker about Obama catching people crossing the border. Like you can't figure out there's a difference between a little over a million people, across eight years, and every Hispanic in America facing a no-trial black-hood flight to fuckoff nowhere, as soon as practically possible.
This thread has been fucking great for blocking people who would have insisted, whatever this new Auschwitz thing is, it's just as bad as something Hindenburg did.
The lesson from Hindenburg that is true to this day is that liberals and "moderates" will ALWAYS side with the fascists against any socialist movement because they serve the same master. Have you been watching capital's media lap dogs respond to Mamdani's candidacy? Just keep watching and observe how many "mainstream Democrats" fall in line behind human trash piles Cuomo or Adams.
Saying the good cop is "better" then the bad cop may be true in some sense but is ultimately irrelevant and distracting. Both are your enemy and if you trust either one, you'll get fucked every time.
Sucking up to the Democratic party is like expecting that sucking up to the good cop in the interrogation room will lead to leniency in the courtroom (aka a fool's gambit)
Well sure, Republicans are currently actively trying to strip away trans rights, build a military with the authorization to operate within our borders, black bag people in the streets without charging them with a crime because they don't like what they have to say, and deploying the goddamn Armed Forces against their own citizens when they have the audacity to peacefully protest about it, and Democrats are voting party line against every single one of those, but they aren't saying no louder than that, so they're the same.
No one is better at mental gymnastics than leftists, I swear to god.
OP this is wildly inaccurate because you didn't put a smiling mask on the Democrats OR show how they are actually an infinitesimal bit better than the Republicans and they're dying on that hill
The Federal Council wants to explore the possibilities of joining the European Union’s €800-billion rearmament programme without compromising Swiss neutrality.

As the Trump administration steps up attacks on US universities and scientific institutions, the European Union is campaigning hard to attract scientists from the United States. But how many can the bloc take?
I already know scientists moving to Europe because they couldn't find places to work in the US. Labs are not hiring here anymore, but the Euro labs seem excited and able to being in new talent
The Iranian Embassy in India has issued a warning about fraudulent social media accounts impersonating official Iranian entities. These fake accounts are disseminating false information, including claims about Iran reconsidering the Chabahar port agreement with India. The embassy asserts that these accounts aim to undermine the relationship between Iran and India.
It won't compile, as cloned. It's more than just the directory structure which is completely silly. It's not surprising it didn't work, given it's messy state. I had to modify it a bit, so it could easily be something I did.
Anyone have Vial working? It's a popular keyboard so I expect someone has solved this problem. If no one responds, I'll take it on in a week or so so we can all enjoy ou R75 on linux with Vial.
The problem seems to be lack of ability to give the board a magic serial number. The vial app looks for a specific string in the serial number ("vial:") to identify a vial capable keyboard. My R75 won't accept a serial number, no matter what I do.
Apparently, this is a limitation of some cheap USB controllers (always answer 0 to all serial requests). I don't know if that's true but ChatGPT tells me it's so.
udevadm info -a -n /dev/hidraw$(ls /dev/hidraw* | tail -1 | tr -dc '0-9') | grep -i serial 2 ✘ ATTRS{serial}=="00000000000000000000000000000000" ATTRS{serial}=="0000:09:00.0"
Apparently, the magic number can be coded into the UID, also. I'm working on that, too, with no success so far. Apparently, USB controllers don't stand in for UID in any case.
I'm struggling with this. If anyone has some ideas or clear direction, I would consider it a favor. If I can manage to make it work, I'll publish the firmware for everyone.
Even if someone got the mossbed firmware to work, that would be helpful to know. I have been banging on it for three days with no luck. This is the most expensive, cheap keyboard I've ever purchased. lol!
The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) have carried out a special operation to eliminate the Russian agents who killed SSU Colonel Ivan Voronych in Kyiv under orders from the FSB.

The Israeli enemy continues to bomb southern Lebanon almost daily and maintains occupation over five posts along the southern border, in violation of a ceasefire deal reached following a brutal 66-day Israeli war in late 2024.
The Zionist occupation has also struck Beirut four times since the ceasefire agreement was sealed on November 27, 2024.
The June 2025 US-Israeli military assault on Iran—featuring Israel’s Operation Rising Lion and the US Operation Midnight Hammer confronted by Iran’s defensive Operation True Promise 3—despite achieving short-term tactical victories, represents a prof…
Azerbaijan is getting freaky with it. Like Myanmar I might have mere months left to learn how to present myself as a fake expert on the subject I posted a good analysis of it by the least creepy exmilitary analyst in /c/geopolitics. Not Marxist just more Mearsheimer-slop
You make me laugh, and I need that, so thanks! I'm sure your analyses are closer to accurate than my best guesses. I suppose what government or economic system states call themselves (or what media calls them) mean fa anymore. I'm not sure if we live in a post-truth world, or always have and it's just so glaringly obvious, only those really emotionally invested in their illusions and those without mental capacity to identify them (whether through overwork and other stresses or direct learning/developmental disabilities) insist otherwise. Maybe most fall somewhere between those points, I'm certainly not as informed as I prefer.
I'll have a look tonight or tomorrow. My project hours are all over the map, right now, which means my neighborhood and household obligations are, too.
Explaining his decision to travel to Venezuela for the commemoration, he said: “I was in France, preparing to return to the Congo, when I received a request to record a video for this tribute. But I didn’t hesitate—I told them I wouldn’t send a video; I would go in person. Venezuela is a country that has led a struggle similar to ours. For years, its leaders have fought for their people, just as Lumumba did to liberate the Congo from colonialism. I am certain that if Lumumba were alive today, he would be a brother to Simón Bolívar, a friend to Nasser, Nkrumah, Hugo Chávez, and all those who have dedicated their lives to justice and the liberation of their peoples.”
He didn't hesitate to go pick up a briefcase with money and talk this nonsense in Venezuela. Even the last sham elections are so rigged no one in South America accepted the results beyond the member of the axis of evil.
Actually you're being insulted with a rhetorical question, get it right next time. Ad hominem is saying an argument is invalid because of who is saying it.
You've got it the wrong way round, the axis of evil which is NATO did denounce the elections. Most of the rest of the world sent observers who confirmed the results.
Few exceptions, of course, as Lula seems to rather like how his ass feels on the fence and Boric hasn't found a boot big enough that he won't have a go at licking it.
There should be no veto power and states* that export violence and their proxies should have no place on any human rights councils.
He recalled his father’s words: “Independence is not a gift. We cannot import democracy or revolution; we must create our own. What works in the United States may not suit Burkina Faso. Venezuela has chosen its path, and each country must decide what is best for its people.”
If only the global West could innerstand and overstand this.
Yo, put up some context or you're just circle jerking. Not everyone knows those historical deep takes, everyone not in the know will dismiss this as some level of conspiracy theory without sauce
Okay but every time anyone posts anything historically accurate, .world goes "lies!” ffs, they're down to denying that h Hitler was defeated because of Russia and can't bring themselves to write the opening line of "First They Came," as a Lutheran pastor originally wrote it. Yes, we're not only that unaware of history, but that propagandized.
