As of Saturday morning, at least two of the abducted citizens were still reported missing by loved ones and colleagues.
“Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more,” the United Farm Workers union said in a statement. “US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones.”"

Looking for a music player
I'm looking for a music player on Pop!_OS that supports playlists, repeating a single track while still being able to swap tracks in the playlist, and also supports fading between songs and when stopping playback. And ideas on what to try?
So far I've tried VLC, Audacious, and Rhythmbox, but none of those seem to support all of those requirements. (Rhythmbox was close but the repeat one from the toolbar plugin doesn't work.)
Edit: Got it working in Rhythmbox after toggling the repeat options a few more times. Still curious if there are other options out there though.

Sources close to Palestinian negotiators said talks remain deadlocked over at least two of four key issues.
The first is the extent of the proposed Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip during the 60-day truce. The second is the method of aid distribution."

I'm not looking at strangers' phone screens close enough to figure out if they're using GOS but I've noticed strangers using GOS a fair few times. Likely would a lot more if I were looking for it but I'm not trying to read everyone's phone screens...
It's a fairly common OS and it's fairly widely acknowledged that GOS is a big driver for Pixel sales.
machine translation of a paragraph of the original article:
The police's solution: It's none other than a Trojan. Unable to break the encryption, they infect the traffickers' phones with malware, subject to judicial authorization. This way, they gain full access to the device: apps, images, documents, and conversations. Obviously, GrapheneOS isn't capable of protecting itself (like any Android) against this malware.

It’s kind of hard to tell for this image, I think the background is probably real, or at least, created separately. but there are a couple sus features in the foreground. Superman’s right hand, the green jacket, and the apparent facial features of children I mentioned before.
It does have a signature in the bottom right, so I guess you could track down the artist to find out for sure, but with my first comment, I was just pointing out the comedy of kids with facial hair.

BBC bosses pulled our film on Israel attacking Gaza’s medics. Here’s why
A BBC editorial policy representative said he thought a UN report on hospital attacks cited in our film should not be included because, he said, “the UN is not a trusted independent organisation”. The same had been repeatedly said about Amnesty International.
Later in the same meeting, we discussed another request from the BBC; that we use the testimony of two high-profile hospital directors who had been detained and allegedly tortured by Israeli forces. The use of interviews with prisoners under duress is not only a breach of the Geneva conventions, but breaks Ofcom’s code. We explained this at length in meetings and by email, citing numerous examples, and in the end we won the argument.
Script meetings were also dominated by references to what “Collier” might say – referring to David Collier, a social media activist who had discovered the omissions of the previous film. In one editorial meeting, after viewing our film for the first time, a senior BBC reporter told us we should not use certain information as this would not be acceptable to Camera, a pro-Israel media monitoring organisation.

GParted Live 1.7.0 Linux distro drops 32-bit support and improves device handling
GParted Live 1.7.0 ends support for 32-bit systems, upgrades its Linux base, and improves boot device handling.
Recommend a simple, small cheap laptop < 15" I can chuck in my bag for use in coffee shops!
- I'll buy used, so don't want latest and greatest. It won't be my main laptop.
- to run linux obviously.
- good battery life, light, not too small to use, but large enough to type on (obviously can do without numeric keypad). not too fragile!
- I'll be doing some light python work, perhaps some c/c++ but I'm not after a workhorse, just something for quickly fixing bugs, or making notes on
- sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess
I'd be interested in hearing recommendations, and also what to avoid!
like this
I got myself an old EEE PC for exactly that purpose. (Except, substitute python with lua).
8h battery life, cost me €20 and does what it's supposed to. Just make sure you get one with an Atom N280 or better. The popular N270 is 32bit only, and more and more programs are dropping 32bit support. Some of them you can DIY compile for 32bit, some you really don't want to.
(For example, compiling Node on an Atom N270 takes around 3 days.)
I had one with an N270 first and replaced it with one with an N450 to get 64bit.
Maxed it out with 2GB RAM, a cheapo €10 SSD that maxes out SATA and overclocked it to 2GHz.
It's not fast by any stretch of the imagination, but it's totally ok for editing text files with Kate and compiling with platformio.

in reply to Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her] • • •Elisa is a modern music player from the KDE project. It's quite slick but not always the most intuitive - some options are hidden away in menus to keep the main interface slick.
It definitely has Repeat One.
Otherwise Strawberry is probably the best bet. It's not the slickest looking in terms of modern UI design but it's rock solid and still actively maintained. It's basically the continuation of Clementine (which is largely untouched since 2016) which itself was a continuation of Amarok.
I like Strawberry but I do find the UI a bit jarring in the modern era. It's feature rich and stable though.

in reply to BananaTrifleViolin • • •Strawberry is super confusing with playlists. Out of caution, I have learned to save Playlists multiple times to a file and try to close them all before opening/playing new stuff.
Too many times I've experienced selecting something new to play not only replace the currently playing, but replaces the Playlist, and it seems to overwrite it immediately.
