Drop Site Daily: Sept 4, 2025At least 54 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military across Gaza since dawn today. Israel has killed 84 Palestinians and injured 338 in the past 24 hours. Three more Palestinians have died from famine; this brings the total of famine deaths to 370, including 131 children. The Israeli military warns that it will impose direct martial rule over the entire Gaza Strip. Marco Rubio signals an assent to further West Bank annexations. A federal judge reverses Trump’s defunding of Harvard research, calling it an “unconstitutional retaliation.” Israel strikes a construction equipment repair warehouse in southern Lebanon, again violating the ceasefire. Rubio met with Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum and defended the recent U.S. missile strike on a Venezuelan vessel. Iraqi officials claim to have busted a global Islamic State “financing network.”

I have a few friends in this situation.
My wife and I sometimes say that we are happy that we are done with the going out dating night life scene.
We both had fun times dating when we were younger and single, but we are older now and are happy to relax on our home on a Friday night.
One of our single friends said they were tired of going out to date and stuff, and I don’t blame her. As you get into your late 30s, the appeal is kind of gone.
I’m sure I don’t speak for everyone. But I just wanted to share my experience.

Police Officers Admit They Feel ‘Ashamed’ Enforcing ‘Mad’ Palestine Action Ban
Enforcing the Palestine Action ban is exhausting, unsustainable and making cops miserable, Met officers, government lawyers and the police federation have told Novara Media.
One officer described feeling “ashamed and sick” when they arrested a disabled person on terror charges. “That feeling won’t leave me anytime soon,” they said. Another told an arrestee it’s “not the work I came into the police to be doing”.
A Police Federation spokesperson, meanwhile, criticised the fact there are “no ‘extra’ officers” to police Palestine Action protests, putting London’s Met police in particular at high risk of burnout. “Officers are emotionally and physically exhausted,” the spokesperson said. “The demand is relentless. And it’s not sustainable.”

Hamas to Trump: We Are Ready to Release All Israeli Captives in Comprehensive Ceasefire Deal
Three weeks ago, Hamas agreed to a U.S.-Israeli-drafted ceasefire, but its offer was ignored. Now, the movement says it will accept a comprehensive deal in a renewed bid to end the genocide.Jeremy Scahill (Drop Site News)
They'd probably accept demilitarization as well with enough security guarantees. And then, what more could Israel ask ?
Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans
Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans
Men are turning to AI for mental health support, finding digital confidants where traditional therapy falls short.Luna Awomi (AI Indexes)
This reminds me of ELIZA, a natural language processing program from the 60’s that induced what they coined as the ELIZA effect, a tendency to anthropomorphize the computer. Joseph Wizenbaum, the computer scientist who created ELIZA, wrote Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation in which he contends that while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions, as they will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom.
Most people STILL have no concept of how digital mass surveillance functions, what it can do, and how it can be used to manipulate them right now, today. Now, it’s common practice to pour your heart out to and have intimate extended relationships with AI systems controlled by the very same corporate surveillance complex.
The danger is not that AI will become self aware and turn against humanity, it is that people will not realize that it has already been turned against us by its masters.

UK complicit in Israeli war crimes, Jeremy Corbyn's tribunal hears
Thursday was the first day of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's highly publicised Gaza Tribunal, which aims to hold Britain accountable for its role in enabling Israel’s ongoing war crimes in Gaza.
The independent MP, now a key figure in the establishment of a new left-wing party, put forward a bill earlier this year for a public Chilcot-style inquiry into Britain's military cooperation with Israel.
But the Labour government blocked the bill. This unofficial two-day inquest is taking place instead.
There was nothing trivial about the tribunal. Eyewitnesses, UN rapporteurs, journalists, medics and academics all gave evidence on Thursday.

As the US Empire dies
Never thought i would see the day in my lifetime, but i'm thinking i might actually now!
What is puzzling is the US acts all protectionist and copyrighty, until they want to do business in China, and China says yes come on in we will hold 51% of the business and you sign over your IP. And the greed of getting cheaper products made (to increase profits) has them drooling over the pen as they sign away their IP.
There have been a few big name businesses I've had dealings with whom, for cost reduction, have moved their design, manufacture and assembly to China. The day China decides to block it all that western company has no company* and no product.
- they may exist as a company but nobody in their organization would have the skill or knowledge to redevelop the product, as China just ships final products and doesn't hand over data or tech info.

This Company Turns Dashcams into ‘Virtual CCTV Cameras.’ Then Hackers Got In
This Company Turns Dashcams into ‘Virtual CCTV Cameras.’ Then Hackers Got In
A hacker has broken into Nexar, a popular dashcam company that pitches its users’ dashcams as “virtual CCTV cameras” around the world that other people can buy images from, and accessed a database of terabytes of video recordings taken from cameras in drivers’ cars. The videos obtained by the hacker and shared with 404 Media capture people clearly unaware that a third party may be watching or listening in. A parent in a car soothing a baby. A man whistling along to the radio. Another person on a Facetime call. One appears to show a driver heading towards the entrance of the CIA’s headquarters. Other images, which are publicly available in a map that Nexar publishes online, show drivers around sensitive Department of Defense locations.The hacker also found a list of companies and agencies that may have interacted with Nexar’s data business, which sells access to blurred images captured by the cameras and other related data. This can include monitoring the same location captured by Nexar’s cameras over time, and lets clients “explore the physical world and gain insights like never before,” and use its virtual CCTV cameras “to monitor specific points of interest,” according to Nexar’s website.

Zelensky’s dream is NATO-Russia war – ex-Polish president
Zelensky’s dream is NATO-Russia war – ex-Polish president
Andrzej Duda has said Zelensky pressured him to blame Russia for an errant Ukrainian missile which detonated in PolandRT
I mean, it's positive for both sides. Russia has a war economy now, they NEED to keep going or their economy will collapse. And a war with NATO might get China involved as well on their side, so it's not like Russia would be fucked for sure.
Ukraine isn't a US puppet btw (I assume that's whom you mean with nazis). I do disagree with the nazi claim too, but I'm not going to be able to convince you there, so I'm not going to try either. But Ukraine isn't a US puppet, they literally have to beg the US to help them out. A puppet wouldn't have to ask, as their actions would be in their master's interest in the first place. They'd get full support.
Whether you believe them to be the good or the bad guys, Ukraine is in this of its own volition, not because the US or Europe told them they have to fight.
Ukraine isn't a US puppet btw
I agree, it would be more correct to call them a NATO puppet, or even just a EU puppet at this point.
Either way, they are a puppet.
Colombia coal exports plummet after ban on ‘Israel’ sales
Colombia’s coal exports fell by almost half in July compared to the same period last year, with official figures showing a dramatic 45.8 percent drop in value.
The decline comes days after President Gustavo Petro renewed a ban on sales to ‘Israel’, compounding existing pressures on the country’s leading export sector.
According to the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), Colombia exported $479.8 million worth of coal in July, a steep decrease from the $885.8 million sold in July 2024.
This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction for the sector, which local mining unions attribute to a “global price crisis” and increased production in Indonesia that has driven down international prices.

The issue is not all servers support TLS 1.3 and Secure SNI, so you are at the mercy of that particular server. Truth be known, there is probably zero ways to be totally secure, private, and anonymous, but that shouldn't deter you from locking down what you can. However, if your threat model is hiding from a government, then unplugging is probably your best bet.
People I talk to about security, anonymity, and privacy always ask me 'Are you hiding from the government?' which is rather hilarious to me. I send them tax forms every year. I vote once every four years and in local elections. We are in touch. If I were a person of interest, they'd come visit. However, there is absolutely no requirement to over share....with anyone.

in reply to QuestionMark • • •Anything by Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp). Facebook literally got people killed by volunteering their location data to a tyrannical government in a third world country. Don't think they won't do that to Americans.
Android (the mobile OS) kind of is. The only reason Google bought the hobby project to put Linux on smartphones was because they could collect more data with it than they could with Gmail. You can get a Pixel device and install GrapheneOS on it, but not even 1% of Android users are turning off telemetry (which only anonymises it), let alone installing custom firmware that doesn't have it. I'm not saying iOS isn't — because it's not open source, we don't know — but I am saying Android definitely is. And I don't just mean Pixels — to use the Android brand, Google requires certain things of OEMs like Samsung, from having Gmail and/or Chrome on the main home screen, to having Google Play Services, which does the data collecting, installed. (I'm pretty sure the Play Store actually requires it. Forks that don't use the Android branding, like Amazon's Fire OS, don't have this restriction, but Amazon probably has plenty of other crap in theirs.)
Now, I never said Android was a honeypot, and it may not be. But Google was just sued for antitrust, and they made a deal to keep Chrome and Android under their banner. We don't know what the terms of that deal are. I would consider both of them to be compromised by bad actors (potentially they always were since Google was selling the data). Don't think so much about who you call (though that can be valuable) but like, your Maps data, anything you put in Health (like if you're female, like if you miss two or more periods but not eight or nine and then start back up again, I'm sure the GOP would love to know that — for the dense fellas, it could mean she got pregnant and then terminated it, or the pregnancy failed somehow). Tim Cook's advice of "get your mom an iPhone" doesn't sound so far fetched now. Your sister, too. Heck, specifically regarding Health, Samsung put out an update last year, maybe the year before — that is, before the current administration — saying if you keep using Health, they can sell your information to whoever they want. Either agree and keep using it, or disagree and they delete your data. At this point, no stock Android phone can be trusted to keep your information private. It's different if you use GrapheneOS, but that requires buying a Pixel, putting money in Google's pocket. The Pixel 10 is what, about as powerful as an iPhone 11? A 12 maybe? And it costs the same as an iPhone 16. You decide. Personally I don't think it looks like a very good deal.
