🚨 L'UE dichiara guerra ai rifiuti: nuove regole obbligatorie per tessile e alimentare


In una mossa storica verso un'economia realmente circolare, il Parlamento Europeo ha adottato nuove norme per combattere gli enormi volumi di rifiuti generati dai settori tessile e alimentare.

Il problema, in numeri:

• Rifiuti alimentari UE all' anno: 60 milioni di tonnellate (132 kg a testa).

• Rifiuti tessili UE all'anno: 12,6 milioni di tonnellate.

• Solo abbigliamento e calzature: 5,2 milioni di tonnellate (12 kg a testa).

• Tessuti riciclati a livello globale: meno dell'1%.

Cosa prevedono le nuove regole?

🍎 RIFIUTI ALIMENTARI (entro il 2030):

• Riduzione obbligatoria del 10% negli sprechi della trasformazione e produzione.

• Riduzione obbligatoria del 30% pro capite in retail, ristorazione e famiglie.

• Donazione facilitata del cibo invenduto ma ancora commestibile.

👕 RIFIUTI TESSILI: il principio "chi inquina paga"
Tutti i produttori che vendono tessili nell'UE dovranno farsi carico dei costi per gestire i loro rifiuti (Responsabilità Estesa del Produttore - EPR).

• Chi rientra: tutti i marchi, rivenditori (anche e-commerce!) e importatori, grandi o piccoli, dentro o fuori l'UE.

• Cosa devono fare: pagare per i costi completi di raccolta, selezione, riciclo e preparazione al riuso dei loro prodotti a fine vita.

• Tempistiche: gli stati hanno 30 mesi per creare i sistemi EPR. Le microimprese hanno 1 anno in più per adeguarsi.

• Cosa include: vestiti, scarpe, accessori, cappelli, lenzuola, tende, etc.

• Colpire il fast fashion: gli stati potranno far pagare di più ai marchi i cui prodotti sono meno durevoli o riciclabili, prendendo di mira esplicitamente i modelli business dell'ultra-fast fashion.

Perché è una notizia importante?
Questa legge ribalta completamente il sistema: l'onere dei rifiuti non graverà più su comuni e cittadini, ma direttamente sui produttori. Questo crea un forte incentivo economico a produrre capi più durevoli, riparabili e riciclabili, segnando potenzialmente la fine del business model "produci-vendi-getta".

Naturalmente, ci sono aspetti critici.

Russia’s war against Ukraine

In first for NATO, Poland downs Russian drones amid mass attack on Ukraine as Putin tests Western resolve. Polish authorities temporarily closed Warsaw Chopin Airport and placed the country’s air defenses on high alert overnight on Sept. 10, following reports that Russian drones have entered Polish airspace.

Russian missile that hit government headquarters contained over 30 foreign-made parts, Ukraine says. “Compared to missiles from previous years, there are fewer components from Europe and the U.S., and more from Russia and Belarus,” presidential sanctions commissioner Vladyslav Vlasiuk said.

Putin told White House he plans to seize Donbas by end of 2025, Zelensky says. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Moscow’s plans could cost “years and a million people,” or even “two or three million corpses” if Russia accelerates its offensive.

Ukraine strikes 2 Russian radar stations in occupied Crimea, intelligence says, shares footage. According to the agency, Ukrainian forces destroyed a 48Ya6-K1 Podlet low-altitude radar and an RLM-M module from the 55Zh6M Nebo-M air defense complex.

Russian missile that hit government headquarters contained over 30 foreign-made parts, Ukraine says. “Compared to missiles from previous years, there are fewer components from Europe and the U.S., and more from Russia and Belarus,” presidential sanctions commissioner Vladyslav Vlasiuk said.

Russian military losses near 300,000 in 2025, Syrskyi says. “The Russian army’s losses since the beginning of the year have already reached almost 300 thousand (299,210) people,” Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported Sept. 9.

Explosions put 3 Russian pipelines out of service, intelligence source claims.

Three oil and gas pipelines in Russia were knocked out of service in a series of explosions on Sept. 8, a Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) source told the Kyiv Independent.

After Putin arrives in Sochi, alleged Ukrainian drone strike hits the city.

The attack may have coincided with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s working visit to the city. According to the Kremlin, Putin joined the BRICS summit online from Sochi on Sept. 8.

80 Years Ago, A Jewish Radical and Two Negro League Stars Led a Crusade to Integrate Baseball That Paved the Way for Jackie Robinson | Common Dreams

For more than a decade before Jackie Robinson broke the sport’s color line in 1947, black newspapers, civil rights groups, progressive white activists and sportswriters, labor unions, and radical politicians waged a sustained protest movement to end Jim Crow in baseball. They believed that if they could push the nation’s most popular sport to dismantle its color line, they could make inroads in other facets of American society. They picketed at big league ballparks, wrote letters to team owners and Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis demanding tryouts for Black athletes, and interviewed white players and managers, most of whom expressed a willingness to integrate major league rosters. Most white newspapers ignored the Negro Leagues, but black newspapers (and the Communist Party’s Daily Worker) covered their stars and games, including exhibition contests between Black teams and teams comprised of white major leaguers, many of which were won by Negro League players.

Police Fail to Arrest Two-Thirds in Biggest-Ever Protest Against Palestine Action Ban


An estimated 1,500 people in London have taken part in one of the largest acts of mass civil disobedience in British history, to protest the ban on Palestine Action. The Metropolitan Police arrested just over half of them, in what has been described as a “huge embarrassment” for commissioner Sir Mark Rowley.

At around 8:30pm on Saturday, a DoJ spokesperson said: “This is a huge embarrassment for Sir Mark Rowley, who claimed the Met would arrest every person who held a sign saying ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action’. They have failed to arrest the majority of sign holders and it’s no wonder – there are simply too many people who oppose this utterly dystopian ban and the government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide to arrest us all.”

An officer told Novara Media that anyone holding a sign breaking the proscription could simply put it away and leave. People were not searched on the way out, no kettle was in place and protesters were witnessed walking away with their signs in full view.

I reinstalled because I don't know what I'm doing.


I've been facing issues lately. A few weeks ago I kept having "lockups" where the keyboard and mouse would stop working. It turns out my crappy mouse was causing all USB ports to stop working. I noticed that the PC would still go to sleep and the clock was still working.

Yesterday I was having a weird issue with a site where I couldn't download files. It worked on every other device I own so I decided to restart. After restart the PC would boot to a black screen. The actual monitor was still on just not displaying.

I already back up my home folder to a second drive automatically so after searching for an answer to this issue and finding nothing I just decided to switch to fedora and see what that's all about.

It seems like it's one thing after another lately and I just needed to use my PC. I guess a fresh install every once in awhile isn't a bad thing.

in reply to PriorityMotif

I recall these times. As experience grows, one needs to do it less and less often 😀

Also, if your filesystem is Btrfs (which is usually a great choice), check out Snapper. With it, when an update goes wrong, you can often revert your system to a previous state.

On Fedora, it doesn't come by default, so you'll have to install it. I don't use Fedora, but this guide looks like a decent introduction:
dustymabe.com/2025/01/07/fedor…
Or for something shorter: andotech.net/installing-snappe…

For its usage, this tutorial from openSUSE should be quite transferrable: en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Snapp…

in reply to PriorityMotif

Take a close look at your USB ports and any other ports for debris. Sometimes you end up with shorts that do all sorts of weird shit. The crappy mouse might have warped the port too. It's probably not the issue but it never hurts to check.




The Genocide in Gaza and Those Who Deny It


Zionists often insist that the use of the word “genocide” to describe Israeli actions in Gaza cheapens other past crimes. Yet in both scale and in intent, Israel’s destruction of Gaza conforms closely to historic genocides.



How do I check that my system is Linux-compatible?


Not too long ago I installed Mint onto a laptop that turned out to have a network card by Broadcom, which doesn't have Linux support, so that didn't work. I'm going to upgrade my currently Windows PC to Mint at the end of Win10 support in October, and I want to be sure I don't have any hardware that is incompatible with Linux. Which manufacturers are obstinate like that?
in reply to ssillyssadass

If it is a computer, it is compatible

You may just need some extra bits in addition to the base ISO

IIRC the Broadcom website has the latest Linux drivers on there if the kernel doesn't support it out of the box, so grab a copy of those and put them on a USB.

As others have said, you could get a live distro to test it out before you install

in reply to ssillyssadass

You can get broadcom to work, it means adding the missing driver.

For example in NixOS its adding a line in the hardware/config file then running a rebuild.

For Ubuntu there appears some steps spelled out lower in this thread askubuntu.com/questions/55868/…

Some distros publish their know working hardware lists

This is the first time I've heard "lint" used this way, but I like it. I've heard Linus refer to various waste left behind on your system as "turds" 💀

Anyway, this looks like a cool tool. Gonna check this out.

I have heard "lint" or "delint"/"delinting" in terms of checking scripts for syntax errors and such, I have never heard it used in terms of deduping a filesystem, since that already has a term for it.

Hey Dessalines

I never got on with rmlint. It never felt safe to me.

I found fclones to be much better and safer.

Plus there is a GUI version for those not using the terminal

Gui Version
github.com/pkolaczk/fclones-gu…

CLI version
github.com/pkolaczk/fclones

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Usage

fclones offers separate commands for finding and removing files. This way, you can inspect the list of found files before applying any modifications to the file system.

group – identifies groups of identical files and prints them to the standard output

remove – removes redundant files earlier identified by group

link – replaces redundant files with links (default: hard links)

dedupe – does not remove any files, but deduplicates file data by using native copy-on-write capabilities of the file system (reflink)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

I did actually test this by creating a directory with duplicates.

test_dupes 186 files

scanned directory for duplicates and created dupes.txt

fclones group . >>dupes.txt

dupes.txt

remove duplicates to another directory

/home/user/Desktop/dupes

fclones move target_dir <dupes.txt

fclones move /home/user/Desktop/dupes <dupes.txt

test_dupes now has 173 files

I haven't tried fclones, but rmlint is extremely safe. It only creates a json file and a remove script file, that you can review and edit before running.

Thank you

I will check it out again if and when I need to do a clean out.

I do create a lot of duplicates as I move and transfer files between 3 laptops.

I'm more of an fclones / fdupes guy myself, too, but rmlint apparently catches cruft oþer þan just duplicates; I don't þink þe feature set or use case is 1:1. E.g., (from þe project)

  • Nonstripped binaries (i.e. binaries with debug symbols)
  • Broken symbolic links.
  • Empty files and directories.
  • Files with broken user or/and group ID.
