JUNO completed liquid filling and begins data taking
New type of detector enables deeper understanding of the universeThe underground “Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO)” near Jiangmen city in the Guangdong Province, which was prepared with the participation of researchers from the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), has successfully completed the filling of its 20,000 tons of liquid scintillator and begun data taking. After more than a decade of preparation and construction, JUNO is the first of a new generation of very large neutrino experiments to reach this stage. Initial trial operation and data taking show that key performance indicators met or exceeded design expectations, enabling JUNO to tackle one of this decade’s major open questions in particle physics: the ordering of neutrino masses—whether the third mass state (ν₃) is heavier than the second (ν₂).
Wall Street Journal Seeks Dismissal Of Donald Trump’s Defamation Lawsuit Over Jeffrey Epstein Report: “The Article Is True”
The Wall Street Journal, its parent company and Rupert Murdoch asked a federal judge to dismiss Donald Trump‘s $10 billion defamation lawsuit over the publication’s report on the president’s past connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
“The First Amendment’s protections for truthful speech are the backbone of the Constitution,” the Journal’s attorneys wrote in their motion.
The attorneys also challenged the notion the that the article could have damaged Trump’s reputation, noting that he had “publicly admitted to ‘locker room talk’ and has made numerous bawdy public statements,” as well as to his relationship with Epstein.

A Cry for Help from Northern Gaza
Hello, my name is Ihab, speaking to you from northern Gaza. I have lost everything in this war. I no longer have a home or a safe place to protect my family. The bombings continue above our heads, and the sound of the drones terrifies the children. They go to sleep hungry, while I struggle without enough money to move south because of the skyrocketing prices.
With even a small donation, you can help save our lives. Please, I beg you — help us.

Jimmy Kimmel to Return to ABC on Tuesday After Show’s Controversial Suspension
cross-posted from: beehaw.org/post/22300167
The ABC late-night host is returning to broadcast on Tuesday following a brief-but-monumental suspension that sparked a national debate over the Trump Administration’s pressure tactics and the modern limits and consequences of free speech.“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” ABC parent The Walt Disney Company said in a statement Monday. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”
Behind the scenes, sources says Kimmel wasn’t planning to apologize on that night’s show and instead was going to defend his original comments as being taken out of context and “grossly mischaracterized” by MAGA, which Disney brass thought would only inflame the situation. Disney/ABC then announced Jimmy Kimmel Live! was “suspended indefinitely.” On Thursday, a follow-up meeting between Kimmel and Disney execs reportedly ended in a stalemate with Kimmel sticking to his stated plan of unapologetically defending himself.Despite Kimmel’s return, it is not immediately clear if his show will be available across the entire country. Sinclair, for its part, had said that it would not go back to running Kimmel’s show on its stations until the late night host apologized for his comments, met with Sinclair representatives, and made a donation to Turning Point, the organization that Kirk founded. Sinclair, it should be noted, owns the ABC station in the Washington D.C. metro area, among other markets.
Nexstar, similarly, could also choose to continue to preempt the show, though of course it wiould still be accessible online across the country after it runs on ABC.

pagina di startaggio fatta dall’ia per risolvere la pigrizia di android e la casa rotta (startpage HTML5 custom creata per webapp su mobile)
Come mi lamentai “qualche tempo fa” (e minchia, è passato già un mese…), dovrei inventarmi qualcosa per ovviare allo strano bug di Android per cui i collegamenti alle webapp e ai siti spariscono dal launcher. E beh, avendo provato varie hack, ma tutte invano, l’unica vera opzione sarebbe farmi un’appina WebView per contenere almeno tutte le mie appine web… ma la cosa è seccante e quindi, per ora, indovinate un po’, non c’ho avuto voglia. 😩Beh, non ci ho pensato molto sul subito, perché credevo fosse un’idea decente semplicemente aprire Chromium ogni volta (di modo che ogni volta si apra con la schermata di lancio con i collegamenti rapidi, ovviamente)… ma poi ci ho pensato meglio e no, fa schifo, perché i collegamenti sono pochi e nemmeno viene usato bene lo spazio a schermo per mostrarli. E, ovviamente, il widget dei preferiti di Chromium (e chissà se questo è colpa sua in assoluto, di Mulch, o della MIUI che rompe tutto…) sulla home si rompe, quindi usare quello purtroppo nemmeno mi è possibile. ☠️
Ieri però mi sono seccata (proprio, il mio spirito è evaporato e io sono rimasta secca croccante), e quindi, almeno per apparare (…app-arare?) la situazione un po’ meglio fintanto che non mi decido a fare quella cosa di cui sopra, ho pensato di fare una semplice pagina HTML con i miei collegamenti personali. Tuttavia… visto che il vibe di base comunque era la mancanza di voglia, e non ho trovato online template di pagine iniziali che fossero sia decenti per quello che ora volevo (stile mobile con griglia di icone), sia funzionanti (quanto odio i troiai…)… me la sono fatta fare da DeepSeek la paginetta, evviva la pigrizia! 👍
“Octo Startpage“… fa già ridere così. Le uniche cose che ho fatto sono state togliere una barra di ricerca mezza rotta che lui mi aveva messo (tanto, se proprio mi serve, uso direttamente quella del browser sopra), rendere le icone più grandi (anche perché altrimenti sul mio telefono, con i DPI aumentati, uscivano fin troppo piccole), aggiungere l’uso di caratteri (emoji o lettere) quando un’icona normale manca, e impostare un’icona per la pagina stessa… Così da aver poi potuto aggiungere un collegamento ad essa nel mio launcher (e la bomba PNG di WhatsApp usata così ha indubbiamente il suo perché, comunque). 😳La UI ha quel tratto tipico del vibe coding, ma ehh, forse anche quella ha un suo perché… è comunque sia certamente guardabile e fa il suo, quindi mi accontento ampiamente, che ora non ho voglia di trastullarmici. Rimane sempre una non-soluzione, perché comunque è solo una pagina web che apre altre pagine web, quindi rimane quel problema per cui mi si riempie di spazzatura la lista delle schede (e per cui si vede l’interfaccia del browser sopra, che spreca un minimo di spazio, ma pensandoci meglio questo aspetto non è un’enorme tragedia con un display da 6.2″ e i DPI aumentati), ma è già meglio di 1 giorno fa. 💣
La pagina sta sul mio server, così che io la possa modificare ed aprire con (suppongo) meno bestemmie, anche se tecnicamente non è ad uso pubblico… ma eh, l’indirizzo si vede nell’immagine, quindi comunque lo riscrivo qui, se qualcuno vuole rubare (è 95% IA, quindi non ne detengo copyright, niente licenza, via): . La cosa figa, però, è che mi è accessibile anche offline, senza aver dovuto impostare service worker o altri rompimentissimi di scatole, semplicemente avendo cliccato il tasto download dentro Chromium, quindi… se un giorno mi esplode il server, posso comunque usare la pagina per aprire quei miei siti che stanno su server diversi da quello esploso! (E l’icona di bomba a quel punto potrebbe rivelarsi ironicamente sensata.) 🕸️

what's better on debian 13.1 xfce for Japanese, Chinese and Korean input? fcitx or ibus?
I want to see the actual characters, hiragana, katakana... instead of squares and actually write traditional Chinese and Korean.
And easily change the input language / method
like this
On Debian 12 and 13 with xfce, I am using ibus and Intelligent Pinyin (ibus-libpinyin) for Chinese and English. In the past I have used fcitx5 and various other IMEs. Once they're configured there isn't much difference between ibus and fcitx5, for my simple use. My Chinese is rudimentary but my Chinese wife is happy with the configuration. I switch input methods with a configurable keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Space is my preference) or menu on the ibus item in the Status Tray Plugin of the xfce panel. Changing is easy.
I have task-chinese-s-desktop and task-chinese-t-desktop installed. These bring in fcitx5 and various fonts, which suggests that whoever created these tasks think fcitx5 is better than ibus. And I installed ibus-libpinyin, which brings in ibus. I don't recall why now - it was long ago. So I have ibus and fcitx5 installed but have been using only ibus for the past few years. It works well enough that I haven't revisited it. If I were installing again now, I might choose fcitx5 instead of ibus.
I see there are also task-japanese-desktop and task-korean-desktop, which you might find helpful.
I want to see the actual characters ... instead of squares
Sounds more like an issue with the font you're using, rather than the input method.
At least for Chinese, we use ibus on desktop (KDE Wayland) and fctix5 on Android. Both work well in those devices

Stomaco in subbuglio per l'interrogazione? La scienza ha una risposta sorprendente
Ammettetelo, è successo a tutti: lo stomaco in subbuglio prima di un'interrogazione o di una gara sportiva. Quella sensazione fastidiosa, che in tanti chiamano ansia. Ma se ti dicessimo che a piccole dosi, questo stato è il tuo più grande alleato? Strano, vero? Eppure è così, e a dirlo non è una teoria, ma la scienza stessa.

GDR desincronizzato
Per una campagna di gioco di ruolo desincronizzata (cioè dove i giocatori scrivono i loro turni quando possono), le caratteristiche più utili sono:
- Post lunghi o thread – per descrivere azioni, ambientazioni e risultati senza dover spezzare il contenuto in più messaggi.
- Reazioni/emoji – per votare rapidamente decisioni o indicare approvazione/rifiuto.
- Privacy e controllo degli accessi – per mantenere la campagna riservata a un gruppo ristretto di giocatori.
- Possibilità di usare bot o script ActivityPub – per automatizzare tiri di dado, generare NPC, tenere traccia di statistiche, ecc.
- Facilità di ricerca tramite hashtag o tag – così tutti possono ritrovare facilmente i turni precedenti.
Le piattaforme del Fediverse che meglio soddisfano questi requisiti
| Piattaforma | Pro | Contro | Perché è adatta a una campagna RPG desincronizzata |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mastodon | • Grande base di utenti, quindi facile trovare un’istanza già pronta. • Thread (risposte annidate) ben supportati. • Reazioni emoji native. • Possibilità di creare “gruppi” (lista privata) o utilizzare account protetti. | • Limite di caratteri (500 caratteri) può richiedere più post per descrizioni lunghe. • Alcune istanze limitano l’uso di bot. | Ideale se vuoi una piattaforma familiare e con buona visibilità. Puoi aggirare il limite di caratteri usando thread o note collegate. |
| Misskey | • Post molto più lunghi (fino a 10 000 caratteri). • Reazioni personalizzabili e “poll” integrate. • Supporto nativo per “note” con citazioni e thread complessi. • Bot e webhook facili da integrare. | • Comunità più piccola rispetto a Mastodon, quindi potresti dover scegliere un’istanza più tecnica. • Interfaccia meno uniforme tra le varie istanze. | Perfetta se desideri descrizioni dettagliate in un unico post e vuoi sfruttare reazioni/poll per decisioni rapide. |
| Pleroma | • Leggerissima, quindi può essere ospitata su server poco potenti. • Limite di caratteri configurabile (spesso 500‑1000). • Supporta bot ActivityPub e webhook. | • Meno funzionalità “out‑of‑the‑box” rispetto a Mastodon/Misskey (es. poll meno integrati). | Ottima se vuoi un’istanza auto‑ospitata con pieno controllo su limiti di caratteri e privacy. |
| Hubzilla | • “Channels” con permessi granulari (pubblico, privato, gruppi). • Supporto nativo per wiki e pagine statiche – utile per tenere un “log” della campagna. • Bot e integrazioni via “Zap” (webhooks). | • Interfaccia più datata, curva di apprendimento più ripida. • Minor diffusione rispetto a Mastodon/Misskey. | Ideale se vuoi combinare micro‑post con documenti più strutturati (wiki) all’interno della stessa piattaforma. |
| Friendica | • Ottimo per collegare più reti (Fediverse, Diaspora, ecc.). • Permessi avanzati per gruppi e album foto. | • UI meno moderna, meno supporto per bot rispetto a Misskey. | Buona scelta se desideri una campagna che interagisca anche con altre reti sociali. |
Consigli pratici per avviare la campagna
- Scegli un’istanza privata o crea la tua
- Se la privacy è importante, opta per un’istanza che permetta account “protetti” o “solo follower”.
- Creare la tua istanza (ad es. su un VPS) ti dà il controllo totale su chi può registrarsi e su quali plugin/bot abilitare.
- Definisci una convenzione di hashtag
- Usa un tag unico, ad esempio
#RPGCampagnaX, per raggruppare tutti i turni. - Puoi aggiungere sotto‑tag come
#TurnoGiocatoreAo#EventoCritico.
- Usa un tag unico, ad esempio
- Integra un bot per i tiri di dado
- Molti bot ActivityPub (es. DiceRoller, RPG‑Bot) rispondono a comandi tipo
!roll 2d6+3. - Su Misskey o Mastodon è semplice aggiungere il bot come “followed account” e menzionarlo nei post.
- Molti bot ActivityPub (es. DiceRoller, RPG‑Bot) rispondono a comandi tipo
- Usa le reazioni per decisioni rapide
- Un semplice “👍” può significare “approvo”, “👎” “rifiuto”, “🤔” “chiedo chiarimenti”.
- In Misskey puoi persino creare reazioni personalizzate (es. un dado).
- Mantieni un “log” centrale
- Sulla stessa piattaforma, crea un post “pinned” o una pagina wiki (su Hubzilla) che riepiloga gli eventi principali, i personaggi e le regole della campagna.
- Aggiorna il log periodicamente per facilitare la consultazione dei nuovi giocatori.
La mia raccomandazione
- Misskey è la scelta più comoda se vuoi massima flessibilità di testo e reazioni personalizzate: i post lunghi riducono la necessità di thread multipli, le emoji reagiscono subito alle decisioni, e i bot sono facili da integrare.
- Mastodon è ideale se preferisci una piattaforma più diffusa e familiare, con una grande comunità e buone opzioni di privacy (account protetti).
- Se desideri controllo totale su configurazione, privacy e risorse di sistema, una istanza auto‑ospitata di Pleroma o Hubzilla ti permette di modellare l’ambiente esattamente come lo desideri.
Buon divertimento con la tua campagna RPG desincronizzata! Se hai bisogno di aiuto per configurare un bot dice‑roll o per scegliere un’istanza specifica, fammi sapere.

I don't know if you were being satire or not, and I'm only replying you in case you drew it, the hand of "UK" and the one behind it look very much like AI-generated to me. Especially the one behind it, I don't think any sane human, with any level of drawing skill, would think that's what a hand looks like. It looks like the palm is stretched out to be twice the normal size, then one or two fingers (if you call the bottom, fat piece of meat, a finger) attached to it. The "UK" hand also has its index, middle, and ring fingers merged.
If you really drew this, and it's the way you draw stuff and be proud of this art style, cheers. If you know this is AI-generated and still try to belittle real human art with this, shame on you.

Sept. 22, 2025Israel kills 29 Palestinians since dawn, as it continues to demolish Gaza City. Civilians make up 94 percent of those killed in Gaza since March, according to independent data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). Portugal, Canada, Australia, and the UK all announce their recognition of Palestinian statehood, as France and Saudi Arabia plan to announce recognition at a world summit on Monday. Israeli leaders threaten the countries recognizing Palestinian statehood, while declaring recent advances in Syria as part of creating “Greater Israel.” Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon kills five, including a father and his three children. Egyptian-British political prisoner Alaa Abd El-Fattah receives presidential pardon in Cairo. President Donald Trump announces a sweeping reform of the H1B visa system, which includes a stipulation that re-entry into the United States could come with a $100,000 fee. Afghanistan’s leadership indicates its hard opposition to the U.S. re-capture of Bagram that Trump hinted at last week. Venezuela’s Maduro calls for “frank” negotiations in the wake of escalation in the Caribbean from the American military. The Trump administration stokes civil unrest by placing the murder of Charlie Kirk at the feet of the “organized left.”

The US government is taking a second stab at breaking up Google
Starting Monday, the US government will get another crack at convincing a federal judge to break up Google, after a different judge decided to keep it intact despite finding it to be a monopolist.
Lawyers for Google and the Justice Department will return to a federal courthouse in Alexandria, VA for a roughly two-week trial about how to restore competition to the advertising technology markets that Google illegally monopolized. It comes just weeks after DC District Court Judge Amit Mehta — who issued a historic ruling deeming Google a monopoly in online search — delivered his prescription for restoring competition to the online search market. Mehta’s ruling stopped far short of the government’s major asks to remedy Google’s harm, including denying a requested sale of Google’s Chrome browser, and letting the company keep paying for prime distribution on spots on browsers and phones.

Europe’s cookie law messed up the internet. Brussels wants to fix it.
The European Commission aims to reform the EU's cookie consent rules that have cluttered websites with intrusive banners asking for permission to track user data1. The initiative seeks to streamline data protection while maintaining privacy safeguards through centralized consent mechanisms1.
Cookie consent banners emerged from the ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) and GDPR requirements, which mandate websites obtain explicit user permission before collecting non-essential data through cookies2. Current rules have led to widespread implementation of pop-up notices that interrupt user experience and often employ confusing interfaces.
The proposed changes reflect growing recognition that the existing approach has "messed up the internet" while failing to provide meaningful privacy protection1. Rather than requiring individual consent on every website, the Commission is exploring solutions like centralized consent management to reduce banner fatigue while preserving user privacy rights.

I can hear the lobbyists (both civil society and big tech, mainly the big tech ones) marching towards Brussels right now. This will be as heated as the Digital Markets Act.
Fighting is expected to flare up again next year, when the Commission wants to present an advertising-focused piece of legislation called the Digital Fairness Act. The executive has stated that the rulebook will help protect consumers online, including from manipulative design or unfair personalization.
Democrats silent as Republicans seem galvanised after Charlie Kirk memorial
The christofascists, like the GOP before them, have really honed in on "When did you stop beating your wife?" setups to silence discussion. Add in projection and a Democratic party that stands for nothing of use to voters, and it's an impossible position, especially given what media ownership looks like now and shit-stirrers champing at the bit to attack anyone who speaks ill of a bigot.
Both parties are dead. The GOP went Nazi cult of personality that allows no diversity of ideas, and the Dems rushed to fill the conservative void. Biden had some amazing successes with the BIL and IRA (both of which benefited rural areas more than cities), but he's remembered for a single awful debate performance.
We need something -- anything -- to the left of Thatcher, and the moneyed class simply won't let that happen. So long as the Nazis can play the "moral high ground" card effectively to enough people by completely perverting the teaching of Jesus as "Christian," I don't know what can be done.
"Hate thy neighbour" is now Gospel, straight from Trump's mouth. And they've brainwashed people into thinking the main point of the New Testament is retribution. If we get out of this hole by some miracle, it's going to take a couple of generations to get back to reasonable discourse with the backdrop of a world increasingly becoming unlivable.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Democrats maintained a wary silence on Monday as Donald Trump’s Republican party appeared galvanised by a memorial service for the late rightwing activist Charlie Kirk that was part religious revival, part political rally.Nearly 100,000 people filled an American football stadium and overflow arena in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday to pay tribute to Kirk, according to his his organisation Turning Point USA. The 31-year-old staunch Trump ally was shot dead on 10 September.
The service was a show of force that blended politics with relihad gion, putting Christian nationalism at the heart of Trump’s “Make America great again” (Maga) movement. It also cast Kirk as a martyr who could be a rallying point in future elections. “Today is the day democrats lost 2028,” posted Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Republican senator John McCain.
Kirk’s widow, Erika, earned widespread praise for a tearful address in which she said she forgives the man charged with her husband’s killing. She told the crowd: “My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life. I forgive him.”
Providing just enough veneer from a single speaker to pretend this event had anything approaching conservative values.

DeCSS Gallery - a collection of DVD DRM algorithm (non-)implementations
Found this while surfing the webz, thought you might it as interesting and amusing as I did. Hopefully it's not too OT.
It's a mix of piracy history, code golfing, free speech activism, art, digital community, and general ingenuity that ends up being a critique of digital copyright under the DMCA. Also found the quote at the end of the table to be sadly still very relevant.
As long as I am mayor of this city [Jersey City, New Jersey] the great industries are secure. We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear these words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is a Communist. You never hear a real American talk like that.

Acosta stands by Epstein’s ‘sweetheart deal’ during congressional hearing
They said the former FIU law professor said Epstein’s victims weren’t credible — and that he didn’t believe that their stories of sexual assault would lead to a successful federal prosecution.
Acosta “essentially said he didn’t have faith in the victims, their stories and their ability to tell their own story and their own testimony, which is deeply disturbing to all of us sitting in there,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost during the break.
They said they also found it disturbing that, even in hindsight, Acosta would not admit that mistakes were made and was not apologetic about how his actions led to other victims being abused by Epstein.

Is Signal messaging really private?
As Signal get your phone number. Can we considerate this application as private ?
What's your thoughts about it ?
I'm also using SimpleX, ElementX, Threema, but not much people using it...
Cheers
It's always sad to see promising FOSS projects taint their image with deplorable political views or behaviour (Hyprland, GNU, GrapheneOS, probably some others). Although I believe in freedom of opinion, I draw the line on inciting violence and hatred against minorities.
Also, I can't fathom why he would still use Xitter, when so many better alternatives exist?
California bans most law enforcement including ICE from wearing masks
California’s governor has signed a bill to ban local and federal law enforcement officers, including with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from wearing face masks while on duty.
The ban, which comes into effect on 1 January 2026, is part of a series of bills that aims to protect residents from what Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has called “secret police” roaming the streets.
US Attorney Bill Essayli, a Trump appointee, said California “has no jurisdiction over the federal government”, adding the law has “no effect on our operations” and agents “will continue to protect their identities”.
The ban is in response to federal agents wearing masks during Los Angeles immigration raids.
The law makes exceptions for undercover agents, masks used to protect against disease or wildfires, and tactical gear.
