(ICW-NRU) Meta Leaks Part 1: Israel & Meta, The Greatest Global Mass Censorship Campaign to Ever Exist
There are more leaks that will be shared in the coming days. Many of which are related to mass censorship, theft, fraud going on at Meta.
This is just one leak related to censorship and Israel. There are still more.
I think it's implied that the predator did kill a lot of them, otherwise they wouldn't have the demon legend.
But predators also have a stricter moral code than humanity's big game / trophy / regular hunters, who mostly kill defenseless creatures. They won't kill anything unarmed, or who can't harm. And in predator 2 they refuse to kill a captured prey (danny glover) that successfully defended himself and killed one of their own, and even give him one of their trophies out of respect.
Overall tho hunting is an activity mostly done by bored bourgeois parasites... the villian of the short story the most dangerous game is a russian tsarist aristocrat who hunts people for fun.
like this
Its also shown in later movies that various other predators will hurt weak creatures if it serves their purposes. The original predator (dubbed "The Jungle Hunter" by the fandom, I guess) seems to have been one of the more "moral" individual Yujata.
Which I think it is pretty fucking interesting

Unreleased Movie Screeners Leak Online, Including Star-Studded 'In the Hand of Dante'
Just weeks before its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Julian Schnabel's star-studded film 'In the Hand of Dante' has suffered a major setback after a high-quality screener copy leaked online. The leak is not an isolated incident as copies of other unreleased movies have also appeared online, some of which also have an Italian connection.

📊 Solo il 6% della plastica è usato per l’abbigliamento. Perché la moda inquina così tanto?
Uno studio dell’UNDP rivela che solo il 6% della plastica globale finisce nell’abbigliamento, contro il 31% degli imballaggi o il 16% dell’edilizia. Eppure, la moda è spesso considerata uno dei settori più inquinanti al mondo. Come mai?
🔍 Cosa non dice quel 6%?
I dati dell’UNDP misurano solo la plastica come materia prima, ma l’impatto della moda va ben oltre:
• 🌊 Inquinamento idrico: Il 20% dell’inquinamento industriale delle acque viene dalle tinture tessili (Banca Mondiale). I tessuti sintetici (es. poliestere) rilasciano microplastiche, responsabili del 35% dell’inquinamento da microplastiche negli oceani (IUCN).
• ☁️ Emissioni : La moda produce 4-10% delle emissioni globali di CO₂ (più di aerei e navi insieme, UNEP).
• 🗑️ Rifiuti : Ogni secondo, un camion di vestiti finisce in discarica o viene bruciato (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). Meno dell’1% viene riciclato.
• 💧 Risorse: Una maglietta di cotone richiede 2.700 litri d’acqua (WWF).
🏆 La moda è davvero il 2° settore più inquinante?
Dipende dagli studi:
• 1° posto: Petrolio e gas.
• 2° posto: Alcuni includono la moda per l’insieme di danni (acqua, CO₂, rifiuti). Altri la piazzano dopo agricoltura o allevamento.
✅ Conclusione
Quel 6% è solo la punta dell’iceberg. L’inquinamento della moda deriva dall’intero ciclo: produzione, uso, smaltimento. Serve un cambio sistemico, non solo sostituire il poliestere.
Cosa fare?
• Sostenere la moda circolare.
• Comprare meno, indossare di più.
• Pretendere trasparenza dai brand.

'Anti-Racist' ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt Laments Rising 'Intermarriage Rates' Among Jews
Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, in an interview with the Jewish newspaper The Algemeiner released on Thursday, lamented that "intermarriage rates" are continuing to rise among Jews.
ADL CEO JONATHAN GREENBLATT: I have met a lot of October 8th Jews for whom the massacre on October 7th was a wake-up call. I've met a lot of people who feel much more galvanized, much more organized. But that will only be sustained if we offer them, you know, ways to participate in a real and robust way in Jewish life.COHEN: And whose responsibility is that?
GREENBLATT: All of ours. But like, this is why we need a revolution in our community, on so many levels. So look, the reality is is that intermarriage rates continue to go up. Assimilation continues apace.
And look, I fight anti-Semitism. That is my job. But I worry a great deal about broader questions of Jewish identity, as I think we talked about over lunch. And so I think it's really important that our synagogues, our schools, summer camps, all of our institutions and the federations and denominations and other groups that sort of manage them. I think we all need to look in the mirror and make sure that we're doing everything we can to adapt and to iterate and to be part of where the world is going, not just where the world has been.
The ADL, as the leading "anti-racist" and "anti-hate" group in the country, decries opposition to intermarriage on their website and even has an entire curriculum for American school children encouraging intermarriage titled "Winning the Right to Marry: Historic Parallels."

You've cultivated an ability to cherrypick at the expense of an ability to have a cohesive discussion or make a sound argument. This is particularly notable in your defense of Twitter use, as @Tomassci@sh.itjust.works pointed out.
I was operating under the impression that you might eventually meander, however accidentally, toward a point, but you have repeatedly failed to do so. Your incessant need to derail a discussion is not the type of engagement I wish to foster, and this community is definitely not "progressive" if your continued and active presence here is any indication. I sincerely hope that you are someday able to climb out of the confused, right-wing hole you've dug for yourself.

G-SHOCK Launches Limited Edition NFTs and Virtual Game Space in The Sandbox Metaverse
According to @borgetsebastien, the G-SHOCK brand is entering The Sandbox (SAND) Metaverse with 'G-SHOCK City', a new virtual game space that offers immersive experiences based on the G-SHOCK worldview. The project will also launch limited edition robot-style official NFTs as avatars, potentially increasing demand for SAND tokens and related NFT assets. This collaboration is expected to drive user engagement and trading volume within The Sandbox ecosystem, providing new opportunities for NFT collectors and SAND traders. Source: @borgetsebastien.
Diving deeper into the NFT aspect, the limited edition robot-style avatars from G-SHOCK are poised to become hot commodities in The Sandbox marketplace. Trading volumes for Sandbox NFTs have shown spikes during such launches, with average floor prices rising by 15-25% in the initial week, according to data tracked on OpenSea. Savvy traders might look for entry points in SAND/USDT or SAND/BTC pairs on major exchanges, capitalizing on potential volatility. On-chain metrics, such as increased wallet activity and transaction counts on the Ethereum network (where Sandbox operates), could signal bullish trends. For example, if daily active users in The Sandbox surge post-launch, it might correlate with a 10-15% uptick in SAND's 24-hour trading volume, providing clear trading signals. Risk-averse investors should watch for broader crypto market indicators, like Bitcoin's dominance, which could cap gains if it exceeds 50%.

TheGuardian portrays US anti-China think-tank employee as a "Leeds Teenager"
TheGuardian writes a hearbreaking highly journalistic and definitely not set up report about a poor innocent "Leeds Teenager".
Conveniently TheGuardian forgets to mention the organisation Cheung works for but starts off about it being a total surprise that Cheung got targeted because she's such a normal girl just doing activism. Only further down the article it mentions
She had been working as a communications assistant for a campaign group in the UK that advocates for democracy in Hong Kong.
Even this sparse information is false. Cheung still works for CFHK. Also it is not a UK campaign group but a US based think tank. The CFHK staff consists of 7 Americans and two Hong Kong'ers holding low positions in the organisation including miss Cheung
Be impressed by directors Mark L. Clifford, Mark Sabah and Jonathan Stivers for being so interconnected with Hong Kong and fighting for it out of the goodness of their hearts. There is no external motivation here.

he board has 3 politically connected Americans on it, which is a bit weird,
More like 7. Only two Hong Kong'ers which do the outwards "activism".

How is Anna's Archive being attacked?
Publishing Giants Escalate War on 'Shadow Libraries' With Broad Cloudflare Subpoena * TorrentFreak
Major academic publishers are trying to unmask the operators of several “shadow library” and piracy domains.Ernesto Van der Sar (TF Publishing)
like this
"If you’ve noticed Anna’s Archive being down or glitchy this past week, here’s what’s probably going on behind the scenes.
Big academic publishers like Elsevier and Springer Nature have been stepping up legal actions against shadow libraries, including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, Libgen, and even SLUM (the uptime monitor).
They got a DMCA subpoena from a U.S. federal court that forces Cloudflare—who a lot of these sites use for CDN and protection—to hand over info on who runs these sites.
This is part of their plan to find and go after the people behind these libraries. Cloudflare doesn’t actually host any content, but since they help keep these sites online, targeting them is a way to put pressure on the whole operation.
So if Anna’s Archive has been unstable or offline, this legal pressure is probably why. It’s also a sign the fight over these sites is heating up, and whether the sites stay up depends on how well the people behind them can adapt—like switching domains or infrastructure.
Before the subpoena, publishers also asked Cloudflare to just block the sites, but since that didn’t happen right away, they went for this subpoena to dig deeper.
What does this mean for Anna’s Archive users?
The downtime might be Cloudflare reacting to legal threats or the site operators trying to stay one step ahead.
The people running these projects usually do their best to keep things running, but legal risks cause interruptions.
Honestly, no one knows how long Anna’s Archive will keep going or what shape it’ll take.
But there’s a decent chance it’ll come back in some form—maybe on new domains or setups—to keep offering access while dealing with these legal challenges.
Just wanted to share the scoop so you know it’s not random, but part of a bigger, complicated picture."

David Lammy faces possible legal action over Foreign Office secondments
David Lammy is facing possible legal action over a plan to invite staff from the oil firm Shell and the defence firm BAE Systems to work inside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
A pre-action letter seen by the Guardian warns the foreign secretary that the scheme leaves the government open to allegations of a conflict of interest and creates the potential for “improper influence”.
The scheme, which was first mooted by Lammy in March, is supposed to embed FCDO staff in firms to gain commercial experience while inviting private-sector staff to take placements in government.

Spanish town ordered to scrap religious festivals ban mainly impacting Muslims
Spain’s central government has ordered officials in a Spanish town to scrap a ban on religious gatherings in public sports centres, describing it as a “discriminatory” measure that breaches the right to religious freedom as it will mainly impact Muslims.
“There can be no half-measures when it comes to intolerance,” Ángel Víctor Torres, the minister for territorial policy, wrote on social media on Monday. Rightwing opposition parties, he added, “cannot decide who has freedom of worship and who does not”.
Last week, it emerged that the conservative-led council in Jumilla, a town of about 27,000 residents in the region of Murcia, had backed the ban. As its Muslim residents had for years used the facilities to come together to mark Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the motion was widely seen as targeting the town’s estimated 1,500 Muslims.
The proposal was initially put forward by the far-right Vox party, which called for an outright ban on public celebrations such as Eid al-Adha

Is a daily-driver computer built on top of a hypervisor a bad idea?
TLDR; tell me if this is a waste of time before I spend forever tinkering on something that will always be janky
I want to run multiple OSs on one machine including Linux, Windows, and maybe OSX from a host with multiple GPUs + igpu. I know there are multiple solutions but I'm looking for advice, opinions and experience. I know I can google how-to but is this worh pursuing?
I currently dual boot Bazzite and Ubuntu, for gaming and develoent respectively. I love Bazzite ease of updates and Ubuntu is where it's at for testing and building frontier AI/ML tools.
What if I kept my computer running a thin hypervisor 24/7 and switched VMs based on my working context? I could pass through hardware as needed.
Proxmox? XCP-NG? Debian + QEMU? Anyone living with these as their computing machines (not homelabs/server hosts)?
This is inspired by Chris Tidus's (YouTube) setup on arch but 1) i don't know arch 2) I have a fairly beefy i7 265k 192gb build, but he's on an enterprise xenon ddr5 build so in a differenrent power class 3) I have a heterogenous mix of graphics cards I'm hoping to pass though depending on workload
Use cases:
* Bazzite + 1 gpu for gaming
* Ubuntu + 1 or more GPUs for work
* Windows + 0 or more GPU Music Production paid vstis and kernel-level anti cheat games (GTAV, etc)
* OSX? Lightroom? GPU?
Edit: Thank you all for your thoughts and contributions
Edit: what I've learned
* this is viable but might be a pain
* a Windows VM for getting around anti-cheat in vames defeats the purpose. I'd need a dual boot for that use case
* hyperV is a no. Qubes Qemu libvirt, yes
* may want to just put everything on sparate disks and boot / VM into them as needed
Edit: distrobox/docker works great but doesn't fit all my needs because I can't install kernel-level modules in them (AFAIK)
like this
I hacked together a similar setup back when, for logistical reasons, I had to squeeze everything on one machine.
It's doable, but be prepared for some challenges.
You will probably have a much better time than I did given the abundance of RAM. Getting graphics to work properly is the most arduous part. I never really figured that part out. Having to forward USB accessories also got really tedious.
