CrossPolitic has in recent weeks hosted pastors who have opposed liberal democracy and pushed authoritarian ideas
The flagship podcast of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), the Christian denomination that claims US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, as a member, has functioned as a platform for the promotion of Christian nationalist and other far-right positions.
CrossPolitic, whose hosts are close associates of Idaho-based pastor Douglas Wilson, has in recent weeks hosted a theocratic Canadian pastor who has called for his country to be absorbed by the United States, and a self-styled “patriot professor” who has backed the rise of Russia and China and the decline of liberal democracies and endorsed the criminalization of homosexuality in Uganda.
The podcast’s themes and guests, and the prestige of its hosts in CREC circles, raise further questions about the extent to which Hegseth’s views on US foreign and defense policy have been shaped by a religious movement that directly opposes liberal democracy and democratic principles including individual women’s suffrage.

windows cercante nell’intera galassia tranne il dove mi serve
Guarda se non bisogna bestemmiare già a prima mattina… poi dicono che la colpa è mia che mi incazzo, e non di Windows che ce la mette tutta per far perdere la pazienza! Ma è possibile che io premo Start sulla tastiera per cercare app, e inizio a digitare “f” perché voglio avviare il mio fottuto browser web, e questo affare mi propone come “migliore corrispondenza“ in cima alla lista non le mie app tra cui Firefox, bensì due risultati da Bing, tra cui il primo è Facebook, ma il secondo è fottutamente Firefox… ma come ricerca web, e non come applicazione da lanciare, che è ancora più sotto??? Cioè, secondo lui è più probabile che io stia cercando per il concetto di Firefox attraverso il web, che non per il fottuto eseguibile residente su disco da avviare per l’applicazione rappresentata da quel nome??? 😭😭😭 Ora, a dire la verità, questa merdata sembra farla solo dopo un riavvio, perché, se adesso o più tardi ci riprovo, la sezione app è in cima, e quindi Firefox è immediatamente selezionato (così come altre app che iniziano con “f” ma continuano diversamente), mentre i risultati di ricerca completamente inutili di Bing sono più in fondo… E sarebbe una cosa che giustificherei pure, se fosse dovuta al fatto che, non lo so, subito dopo il riavvio non fa in tempo a caricarsi la cache delle app installate, e quindi lui va sparato con la ricerca pur di evitare di mostrare un caricamento… e invece non è così, perché le app sono apparse in questo caso, il problema è che sono apparse sotto. E ovviamente, non so quante volte ho frugato nelle impostazioni, ma non c’è un cazzo di modo per disattivare la ricerca web attraverso questa casella di merda, così da farla funzionare, non dico molto, ma come il menu Start di qualsiasi altro sistema operativo desktop degno di questa Terra!!! (Come GNOME, XFCE, KDE, Cinnamon, solo file ed applicazioni, e #mannaggia!) Ma ci sarà una soluzione che non sia installare OpenShell, per caso? 💔

0UK supermarket giant Tesco has sued Broadcom for breach of contracts pertaining to its VMware licenses, named Computacenter as a co-defendant, and warned it may not be able to put food on the shelves if the situation goes pear-shaped.
I already don't know what's in it, few varieties of currants, apricots, now I added red and white grapes and some other things added during last two months I don't remember.
It got this overpowering red colour (probably from the currants) that stains everything so that's the colour it will have at the end, the smell is mostly fruity, little bit too much of a mix of everything.
So half of the jar is done another half is waiting for the fall season fruits.
My garden, granddad's garden, what neighbors gave us...
When you have a tree or berry bush you get lots of fruit to deal with it. So it is the stuff that we got tired to make jams from or the harvest was so small that it didn't make much sense to use it otherwise.
That sounds delightful! I know what you mean about the jams, I get a steady supply of it just because my brother's friend makes it and has so much that he has no idea what to do with it. Maybe I should get him some yeast
The House of Representatives Oversight Committee published 33,295 pages, including flight logs, jail surveillance video, court filings, audio recordings and emails.
But Republicans and Democrats alike said the files contained little new information and it is unclear if the justice department is withholding other Epstein records.

I love all the genuine news we saw on Hexbear and ML about the parade and meetings...their outcomes, analysis of military capabilities, comparisons between this parade and other recent ones...genuine real information and news.
And then over here on lemmy dot zip we get "ZOMG EVIL SISSYPEE LEADER WANTS TO BE IMMORTAL?" Like first off how is that news. Second off it makes complete sense for 2 world leaders to be talking about their countries advancements in science. The fear mongering is comical especially alongside the complete lack of any actual real news about it being posted here.
This comm is like the tabloid section of a magazine stand and it's hilarious

Look, you do see how literally anyone could have a conversation about modern medicine leading to longer lifespans, right? Y'all are only making a big deal about it because it's the two people you hate the most talking about it. The "journalist" reporting it like this is disingenuous at best, so when you shared it here, as if it was news, that makes you look bad. You get that, right?
When two autocrats that have immense power talk about it it has a bit different meaning than two random people on the street.
I disagree with some of Xi's policies, but I don't hate him. On the other hand, war crimial Putin belongs in jail.
Where did you see it being reported as "disingenuous"? As the article mentioned it was " <...> providing a rare glimpse into a candid conversation usually hidden from public view.".
I post what I find interesting, not what someone else thinks I should post. This community is built around not censoring any point of view, no matter how it makes someone else feel. From one extreme to the other extreme and everything in between is allowed here and people can decide for themselves what to think and how to interpret the news.
It's disingenuous because it's not news. It's conflating a benign conversation as scandalous simply because of who's doing the talking. You going to post their coffee order next?

Each month we’re posing six pub quiz style questions, with a different subject each month. As always, they’re designed to be difficult, but it is unlikely everyone will know all the answers – so have a bit of fun.
Literature
Which Tolstoy novel begins “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”?
Who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016?
Who wrote A Child’s History of England? Dickens, 1853
Who succeeded Wordsworth as Poet Laureate in Nov 1850?
Apart from his novels, what is Anthony Trollope remembered for?
Which two-word term was popularised by a 1948 Robert Heinlein novel of the same name, which inspired a science fiction franchise centring on a character named Tom Corbett?
The year’s lone pair of gubernatorial elections are only two months away, providing one of the biggest tests for both parties since the 2024 presidential contest
Relax everyone, it's just some algorithm, not oven with LLM chat bot. It's not even clear if it uses machine learning. It's "AI" as a marketing term, not AI in technical sense.
Optical Character Recognition used to be cutting edge AI buzz in the 70s and 80s. Eventually, it got applied to all sorts of places, so OCR kinda lost some of the magic and sparkle. After that, people stopped thinking of it as AI, even though it relies on a neural network.
For geographical indications (GIs), which protect distinctive products from a certain region and apply primarily to agricultural products, the UK and the EU agreed to protect each other’s GIs that existed as of December 31, 2020, under each side’s own GI scheme.
The EU protects True Neapolitan Pizza: new regulation and certifications
Authentic Neapolitan pizza is now protected in the EU by the geographical certification "STG" (or "TSG", traditional specialty guaranteed). The European Union, with Regulation 2022/2313 accepted the request sent by Italy to protect the name and methods of preparation of one of the main symbols of Made in Italy in the world.
With this decision, therefore, no one will be able to use the name "Pizza Napoletana" (or "Neapolitan Pizza") unless accompanied by the wording STG.
New rules for the protection of the authentic Neapolitan pizza
To avoid imitations or improvised interpretations of Neapolitan Pizza, the EU has expressed its willingness to protect this typical specialty of the Italian culinary tradition, rewarding the certification only those who follow the original recipe. Among the characteristics of STG certification:
cooked in a wood oven [emphasis mine]
I think that it may be legal, since it sounds like Italy got the "Neapolitan Pizza" protected post-Brexit.
From next December 18, authentic Neapolitan pizza will be protected in the EU by the geographical certification "STG" (or "TSG", traditional specialty guar

Oh hey lembot, I see you're still on iteration 4. When's 5 releasing?
Anyway, Valve has no interest in the personal data of their users - their ideology has been on providing excellent, transparent service through their store platform, not aggregating and selling user data to the highest bidder.
This change was likely implemented as a compromise with payment processors - the fact that the verification is through a credit card transaction is quite telling.
They are using the existence of a credit card attached to your account as a sign of being 18. There were a few posts about this but i guess its easy to miss.
My money's on this being implemented as a compromise/capitulation to the payment processors Valve's feuded with. Visa and MasterCard probably asked for this.
Oh 100%. But I guess this is sort of a liability thing, Valve saying "Look. We want to sell the porn games and Postal 2 either way. But we'll verify the customers so you wont get heat for 'handling the transactions of minors'."
There should be age walls for some stuff. What that stuff is and how the walls work is up for debate.
In this situation (a store) using a payment method as the age wall works well. In other use cases it would not be as good.
If you could pass an age wall with no privacy loss, then most people wouldn't have a problem with it (other than mild annoyance)
IMO: the new law is overreaching, they needed to set up privacy protecting ID verification system first if they were going to go that far. It's an own goal so far....
I disagree with that. Privacy is not the only reason to be against agewalls, though in its current form, it is a big one. Agewalls are inherently discriminatory, and there is no reason children should not see sexual, mental health support, or LGBT+ content online besides puritanism.
Cerco un'alternativa valida per un gruppo di 5 persone per 1-2 ore di discussione. Con inviti via link (non ho le loro email), ma che offra di inserire l'appuntamento nel calendario.
For several years Sony had offered a free “External Monitor” app that let you use select Xperia-branded phones as an external display for some of the company’s high-end cameras. The Xperia 1 VII originally shipped without that feature, but now you can use the phone as camera display… if you pay at least $5 per month or $50 per year for a subscription.
Not only that, but for older phones that had these features for free, with the new version of the app, some features are locked behind subscription:
But on August 28, 2025, Sony announced an update that “expanded paid plan lineup for greater flexibility.” That flexibility locks a few key features behind a paywall, including: ...

This must be quite tasty. Filling jars with berries myself now, although I sort them. Mostly belgian wheat berry beer this year for me.

in reply to Alexander • • •And single berries macerates are good too, I did few years back something with currants and this year cherries in rum (simpler than canning them).
I didn't look that much at the Belgian beers but I thought that they go in fresh. Maybe I can try some Belgian style with cherries (in rum).
