US | NY Appeals Court: Lol, No Of Course You Can’t Sue Social Media For The Buffalo Mass Shooting
When politicians immediately blamed social media for the horrific 2022 Buffalo mass shooting—despite zero evidence linking the platforms to the attack—it was obvious deflection from actual policy failures. The scapegoating worked: survivors and victims’ families sued the social media companies, and last year a confused state court wrongly ruled that Section 230 didn’t protect them.

The Israeli Assassination of Journalist Anas al-Sharif and Five Colleagues in Gaza City

Abdel Qader Sabbah and Sharif Abdel Kouddous
Aug 11, 2025
All six were killed on Sunday night in an Israeli airstrike on their media tent outside Al-Shifa hospital in what the Israeli military proudly proclaimed was an assassination targeting al-Sharif. Israel has now killed 238 journalists in Gaza, according to the Government Media Office.At just 28 years old, Anas had emerged as the most recognized Palestinian journalist still alive and reporting from Gaza. He remained in the north from the beginning of Israel’s onslaught of the enclave and became a near-constant presence on television and online, reporting almost every day on airstrikes, shelling, massacres, displacement, famine, death, and dismemberment—while relaying glimpses of hope and accounts of Palestinian resilience whenever he could.

Like journalists in Gaza before him, including his close friend, Hossam Shabbat, al-Sharif was well aware he would likely be killed and pre-wrote a posthumous letter in April to be published after his death. We are republishing it in full:
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah's will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification---so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine---the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend---patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza... And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

Does the GPL apply to content published on the fediverse? If yes we're getting a great open source model for free.
Also obligatory fuck META
Meta's Threads has launched a beta allowing users in some countries to share posts to ActivityPub-compliant Fediverse servers. ActivityPub is a protocol enabling interoperability between social networks, allowing posts to flow between networks regardless of ownership. Key points: * Threads users can opt-in to share posts to the Fediverse. * Replies to Threads posts on the Fediverse won't appear in Threads itself initially. * Meta plans further integrations, including allowing Threads users to see and engage with replies from other servers and follow users on other Fediverse servers. * Future Threads profiles will consolidate followers from both Threads and other Fediverse servers. * Challenges exist due to the lack of standardized features like quote posts in ActivityPub. * Meta aims to provide a fully interoperable experience, reaching new audiences and fostering community. * Interoperability allows Meta to better understand user behavior across different platforms for monetization purposes.

Just got a new GPU, why is it so hard to use it?
Hey all, just got a Geforce 5070 to replace my 2070 from years ago. Ubuntu's been pretty smooth sailing for me until now, and I'm not exactly the best at navigating this stuff.
When Ubuntu starts to boot, the GPU stops outputting display to my monitor. As though it doesn't detect the new GPU. I tried putting the 2070 back in and downloading the 570 drivers but it didn't change anything. I found a tutorial for what seemed to be my issue that asked me to change the kernel, but halfway through the tutorial, commands that worked on their machine started failing on mine. I wish I'd documented what the error messages were because when I went to poke around more today, I got a message about kernel panic and can't even boot with the 2070. Where do I go from here?

Is self-hosted OpenVPN on a vps safe enough for p2p?
like this
Your VPS provider will likely just forward copyright infringement letters to you, same as your ISP would, or they'll suspend your account.
It will hide your ISP IP from torrent peers, but the VPS provider still knows exactly who you are.
but how hard is it for the vps traffic to be traced back to me?
Very easy by the VPS provider, as the VPS has a static IP assigned to you.

in reply to The_Grinch [he/him] • • •No, not everyone is good when they’re doing good things and bad when they’re doing bad things. The EU have been doing things that many, especially on here and reddit, consider “good” only because of their biases. They’re not objectively good things, but subjective. Things like forcing Apple to allow other payment methods was championed, but imagine if your business is forced to let your customers pay someone else to use your system, and then you’re the one that had to handle all their complaints because they got scammed.
The EU has been overstepping their bounds for years now. The difference now is that they’re doing things that everyone knows is authoritarian. They’ve been authoritarian all along, but the lefties were ok with it because it was authoritarianism that they agreed with.

Since they have no power of taxation, EU might not be able to repay its debts if countries don't voluntary repay or other countries cover those debts.
Do you have other examples where they breached their authority?

But since API check can be required by app developer for any reason, it can easily be abused or mandated by law like age verification or chat control.
