Largest Caucus in House Endorses Bill to Block US Bombs to Israel | Common Dreams

The Congressional Progressive Caucus over the weekend officially endorsed a bill that would block the sale of many offensive US weapons to Israel. This move coincides with growing outrage from US voters from across the political spectrum who say they have seen enough of American complicity with the genocidal humanitarian blockade and bombardment of the Gaza Strip.The Block the Bombs Act, first introduced in May by Rep. Delia C. Ramirez (D-Ill.) and now backed by 49 co-sponsors, calls for a prohibition on the sale of a variety of US weapons and a limitation on military services to the Israeli government, accused of committing a genocide in Gaza.
The vote by the caucus, which took place Saturday and was first reported by Zeteo, marks a historic shift—even for the most progressive group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill—that provides “a significant boost to efforts to hold Israel accountable for its genocidal war in Gaza.”

Taliban rejects Trump’s Bagram Air Base ultimatum
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6208479
Snip:On Sunday, Trump warned that if Afghanistan doesn’t give the facility back, unspecified “BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN!!!” The US leader had earlier lamented Washington’s loss of the base, noting its proximity to China.
Later that day, Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesman of the Taliban-run Afghan government, noted that Kabul has made it clear to the US in all negotiations that the country’s “independence and territorial integrity are of the utmost importance.”
“It should be recalled that, under the Doha Agreement, the United States pledged that ‘it will not use or threaten force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Afghanistan, nor interfere in its internal affairs,’” he said, urging the US to honor its pledge.
“Rather than repeating past failed approaches, a policy of realism and rationality should be adopted,” Fitrat stressed.

Illegal Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa, hold prayers for Charlie Kirk
cross-posted from: lemy.lol/post/52731140
Scores of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday and held prayers for US right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed earlier this month.The Hebrew-language site Srugim reported that the ritual was led by far-right Rabbi and former Knesset member Yehuda Glick, a prominent advocate of expanding Jewish access to the site.
On Saturday, Israeli forces said they would send reinforcements to the occupied West Bank amid heightened alert ahead of the holidays.
According to Jerusalem’s Islamic Endowments Directorate, violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque have escalated sharply since far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir became Israel’s national security minister in late 2022.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area Temple Mount, claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa Mosque is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognised by the international community.
Palestinians see the settler incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque as part of efforts to Judaise occupied East Jerusalem and erase its Arab and Islamic identity. They insist occupied East Jerusalem is the capital of a future Palestinian state, in line with international resolutions rejecting Israel’s 1967 occupation and its 1980 annexation of the city.
Since October 2023, at least 1,042 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces and illegal settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

Baffled at PC freezing on Linux, but not on Windows for the same workload
This issue is a long time coming. I got a mini pc (Asrock Deskmini h110, i5-6400, 16gb) that I have used for a long time with Kubuntu/Kde Neon, and most of its life, it worked great. Some years ago, it started freezing, especially at Graphic intensive workload, so I thought some hardware issue and converted it into a NAS and it worked absolutely fine as well for a couple of years there too. Recently my wife needed a Windows PC to do some work, and since I had upgraded my NAS, I repurposed the same PC and installed Windows on it, and it worked absolutely fine for her too. Then I decided to check some Graphics intensive workload, like 3d benchmarking stuff, and it didn't freeze once. I was delighted, and thought maybe I didn't investigated the issue the first time, and the PC was fine all along. So I reinstalled Debian 13, and lo behold, the issue came back. I found out while I was using IKEA's 3d kitchen planner. So I replaced distros, and it froze on Ubuntu and CachyOS as well. I tried switching between Wayland and X11, switched browsers, but PC freezes seconds logging into IKEA's kitchen planner (as soon as 3d graphics are loaded). I reinstalled windows, and my wife has been designing a kitchen in IKEA's 3d kitchen planner for over an hour now, and it hasn't frozen once. What's going on? How do I even investigate this?
I have reinstalled Linux and had sudo dmesg -w running, but no logs are captured before it's frozen. I have reproduced the issue multiple times now on Linux, and not once it froze on Windows. I have also done memtests, and tried multiple disks both nvme and sata. Also have tried multiple browsers with apt and flatpaks. I really need Lemmy's collective intelligence to help me here.
Update: Well system stopped hanging with 'nomodeset' as boot parameter, confirming that it's Intel 915 driver. I tried variety of Intel related kernel parameters like psr, dc, guc, even messed with Intel cstate, but it hanged every time Intel 915 driver is even loaded. So ???
like this
I feel like it possible bug in i915 driver at least it sounds so from symptoms , try add to boot parameters
i915.enable_psr=0 i915.enable_rc6=0About log try enable debugfs

sshPilot is now on Flathub
I'm excited to let you know that sshPilot is now available on Flathub:
flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.…
It’s an intuitive, fast SSH connection manager with features like terminal tabs, a built-in SFTP file manager, port forwarding, key transfer (ssh-copy-id) and more and is optimized for fast navigation with keyboard.
In addition to the dual-pane file manager, the latest release adds a macOS bundle, a keyboard shortcuts customizer and support for grouping servers.
Technical notes:
The app doesn't use any custom configuration, it loads and saves standard ssh/config files.
It has an optional Isolated (sandboxed) mode which is enabled by default in the Flatpak. With this mode the app keeps its own sshconfig separate, which might be useful if you want to keep things isolated from your regular ~/.ssh/config.
The app is still under heavy development and more features and enhancements are planned.
How to get it?
Downloads for linux and macOS are available from the website or project page on GitHub.
The non-Flatpak versions (RPM, DEB and Arch packages) have extra features including:
- Custom terminal (use your favorite terminal: Ghostty, Kitty, Alacritty, etc are all supported)
- File management with Nautilus/Dolphin etc. using GVFS/GIO (you can still enable and use the built-in file manager)
Homepage: sshpilot.app/
I'd love to hear your feedback/thoughts.

Israel’s center-left camp is now plotting a return to power, with the latest polls suggesting that Netanyahu and his far-right coalition will struggle to form a majority in the next elections, currently scheduled for October 2026. Yet as Joshua Leifer argued, the Israeli opposition remains its own worst enemy, still in denial about its only trump card: joining forces with Palestinian-led parties.And for Orly Noy (first published on Local Call), Israel is unleashing a holocaust in Gaza, and it cannot be dismissed as the will of the country’s current fascist leaders alone. The deadly ethno-supremacy inherent to Israeli society runs deeper than Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich — and if Israel is ever to return to the fold of humanity, it must undergo a deep process of denazification.

Old laptop suddenly won't recognize Linux boot drive
I'm in a really weird situation, yesterday I installed Linux (Fedora Kinoite) on my mothers laptop (An old Asus F550C) and it worked perfectly fine. Great! Or so I thought.
We needed a few files from Windows 10, so I put that drive in, put the files on a USB stick, put the Linux drive back in and... Nothing? It recognizes the drive, but not the Linux boot option.
I put the drive in my pc and it works fine, the boot drive is also still detected in the laptop just fine.
What the hell could it be??
- The laptop is fine (Windows drive works perfectly)
- The drive is recognized in bios (But not the boot option)
- The drive works fine in my desktop and can boot to Fedora
- The laptop can boot to the USB drive I used to create the install
- Yesterday it worked just fine
- I went through the bios, but can't find any settings related to this (Secure boot did not fix it)
Update: the issue is solved! Windows somehow wiped the efiboot entry.
I mounted the drive from a live usb and ran
sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'
After rebooting, the system works again!
I've dealt with something similar to this on a lenovo ideapad.
The BIOS picks up UEFI info from windows and messes up the boot config and order. I solved it by using grub2 rescue, booting to the correct Linux entry and using grub to update UEFI and write the config correctly again.
Super pain in the a**.
This ended up being the issue! Booted up a live USB, mounted the disk and ran
sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'
After rebooting it worked again!
Now to never plug a windows drive into that PC again...
Masto question: at what point does a new server begin displaying content from another server (and vice/versa)?
**Update: I found a page in fedi.tips that has a lot of detail on this:
fedi.tips/which-posts-and-acco…
Federation is a beautiful thing. However, I've known that smaller, newer servers' content isn't always seen on others and vice-versa. And that over time that improves and increases.
So, for example, NewAndQuirky.social starts up. If an account on day 2 of that server does a search on quirky-topic, from which servers would content be seen for that?
Would any contact (a follow, a boost of a post, etc.) between New&Q and another server open up all data from the other? Or just posts related to the boosted posts, or posts from followed accounts?
And just new, or new and old? Any other information on the logic/algorithms of server interaction data would be appreciated.

Cosmic Beta on September 25th!
I was very excited for COSMIC but I have kind of moved on the Niri now. I am not sure it will lure me back.
That said, I have been using COSMIC Term and COSMIC Panel with Niri. So they still have their hooks in me.
Britain recognises Palestine, 108 years on from Balfour declaration
The UK, Canada, and Australia have officially announced their recognition of a Palestinian state.
The historic move comes ahead of the UN General Assembly session in New York, which will begin on Monday.
France is expected to imminently follow suit.
"Today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognises the State of Palestine," British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on X.
The move will further deteriorate the already strained relations between Britain and Israel, two historical allies.

The U.S. Is Quietly Pausing Some Arms Sales to Europe
The first clue that something had changed in the U.S. approach to selling military equipment to Europe came as Denmark neared a decision on the purchase of a multibillion-dollar air-defense system. For weeks, American and French negotiators had aggressively pursued the deal. But as the deadline approached, the Pentagon suddenly lost interest.
“We couldn’t understand why,” a contractor who had been tracking the discussions told me. “It seemed like a no-brainer, but they just weren’t into it.”
The comments surprised some State officials, but they soon learned that it wasn’t just Denmark having its access cut off. Current and former administration officials told me the Pentagon has identified some weapons as being in short supply, and is moving to block new requests for those systems coming in from Europe. It wasn’t immediately clear to those I spoke with how long the hold will last, how many weapons are on the list, or if it could expand to include even more weapons. Few exemptions will be granted.

Absolutely.
Trump is actively sabotaging Europe and NATO. When he says something, it often sounds good (Vladimir, stop!). Whenever he does something, it's in Russia's favor.
Watch the actions, not the words. Always.
Europe needs make it's own weapons anyway, the us can insist theirs not be used, may even have kill switches in some of it.
The us cannot be relied upon.

Pre-Flight Check
This may seem like edging towards paranoia, however, how many of you do a pre-flight check of your network before you use your devices?
Every morning when I start up my computer, I do a pre-flight check against sites like DNSLeakCheck, and several others. It's a back check to make sure my network is operating in as private, secured, and an anonymous manner as possible, and perhaps give me a little more peace of mind.
To facilitate this in an expedient manner, I wrote a simple bat script to do just that.
@echo off
echo Opening websites in succession...
:: List of websites to open
set "websites=grc.com cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni browserleaks.com/dns dnscheck.tools ipleak.net"
:: Delay between opening each website (in seconds)
set "delay=5"
:: Loop through each website and open it
for %%i in (%websites%) do (
echo Opening %%i...
start "" "https://%%i"
timeout /t %delay% /nobreak >nul
)
echo All websites opened.

Well, I'm working on a python script that could be called with a cron. I'm also contemplating automating it with N8N since I selfhost it. However, tho I can code in basic terms in several languages, I am not the most competent coder, so it takes me a while. LOL
But again, I do appreciate your first comment and that you were concerned about my well being. I assure you I am a stable genius. lol Hey, it worked for one nut bag.....

"Liberal" is a very bold accusation when most people on Lemmy across all instances are better described as socialists including me.
Putin would have to not be a hypocrite to be any different than the west, but this isn't really about Putin, so you've said 2 things, and both are straw men. RT has as much integrity as Newsmax does talking about Trump.
Quality info on the aid situation in Gaza
Really great maps and info on how the aid stations are distributed and operate.
You hear that basically no aid is getting distributed, but the details of the aid stations being hours away and only open 20 minutes a day if at all really clarifies how performative and meaningless the "aid" is.
