Judge finds misconduct by Trump's DOJ in Luigi Mangione case
Donald Trump's Justice Department is under fire by a federal judge after uncovering "multiple employees ... may have violated" local rules guaranteeing a right to a fair trial for so-called "healthcare shooter" Luigi Mangione.
U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Garnett wrote on Wednesday that Mangione documented several incidents in which members of the Southern District of New York made public statements that are in violation of Criminal Rule 23.1.
The judge shredded the DOJ, saying that she issued an order on "April 25, 2025, specifically identifying the strictures of this rule for counsel and directing the prosecution team to ensure that the highest levels of the Department of Justice, up to and including Attorney General Bondi, were aware of and understood they were bound by this Rule."

'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds
"High-altitude winds between 1,640 and 3,281 feet (500 and 10,000 meters) above the ground are stronger and steadier than surface winds. These winds are abundant, widely available, and carbon-free.
"The physics of wind power makes this resource extremely valuable. “When wind speed doubles, the energy it carries increases eightfold, triple the speed, and you have 27 times the energy,” explained Gong Zeqi "

Stephen Miller’s Hypocrisy Is Right There in His Speech
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/46700344
Link without paywall:
aol.com/news/stephen-miller-hy…Yesterday, Stephen Miller delivered a eulogy for Charlie Kirk that served as a battle cry for the Trump administration’s state-sponsored war on his perceived foes—a war for which Miller is the primary strategist. The speech was a jarring piece of rhetoric. It is a perfect encapsulation of the ethos of Trumpism, boiling away the president’s idiosyncratic habits of mixing insult comedy and weird digressions into his rhetoric and leaving, in Miller’s tongue, the residue of pure ideology and will to power.
Miller’s theme was that President Donald Trump’s side embodies pure good, his opponents pure evil, and the former is destined to utterly destroy the latter. Republicans have never stopped complaining that Hillary Clinton once described a portion of Trump’s base as “a basket of deplorables.” Yet over the weekend the president’s most powerful adviser depicted half the country as worthless, irredeemably wicked, and fated for destruction.

Sharing File
How are you sharing files between two party, with which system, app, site, etc.
I want to share some PDF with a friend but I’m becoming really tired of the old Google Drive. So any option is appreciated.
Also I’m finding myself always in the need to share a PDF or a file with an anonymous lemmy user if your option could work in this situation that will be great
ProjectSend - Secure File Sharing Made Simple
Free, open-source, self-hosted file sharing solution for businesses. Share files securely with clients while maintaining complete control.ProjectSend
Personally I'm quite big fan of self-hosting, but if you want less a hassle, def try some of the other suggestions.
Since you're interested in anon file sharing, I'd really recommend you take some time to really think out just what your personal definition of anonymous is, and how well it fits in modern digital infrastructure. True anonymous activity is nearly impossible, you can be fingerprinted by even writing a file to a drive to hand to someone. Every action taken online has some trace to it, while IP is generally not precise information, with enough data overlap you can be reasonably guessed depending on how much effort someone is willing to put into it.
So you know, good luck finding a balance lol.

Last week, I was standing with several of my neighbors in our tent encampment in western Gaza City as we discussed the importance of remaining steadfast and staying in the city, despite Israel’s plan to seize control and empty the place of its residents. It was then that an Israeli airstrike landed nearby with deafening force, turning our gathering into a scene of overwhelming panic and fear.My six-year-old daughter, Hour, had been playing in front of our tent, but when I looked over, she had been hit by shrapnel and had blood pouring from her nose. I rushed to her in a state of terror and tried to figure out the extent of her injuries. She appeared stable, but there was blood gushing from a wound in her nose.

Israel closes crucial West Bank crossing, Gaza takes center stage at the UN, 15 killed in ICE custody under Trump
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/36630652
At least 64 Palestinians are killed across Gaza, including 42 in Gaza City. Israel closes the Allenby/King Hussein Crossing, the only gateway for 3 million Palestinians into the West Bank “until further notice.” At the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump meets with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan for talks centered on a ceasefire in Gaza. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan calls the talks “very fruitful,” while Trump falsely claims the failure of negotiations is squarely at the feet of Hamas. Trump debuts a new approach to the Russia-Ukraine war, saying that Ukraine, with EU and NATO support, could “fight and win back all of Ukraine in its original form.” More video footage undermines ICE’s account of the murder of Silverio Vargas González near Chicago; the number of deaths in ICE custody under Trump climb to 15. Drones kill 11 civilians in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, including eight children. The Global Sumud Flotilla comes under attack by drones south of Crete, with at least 12 explosions across nine boats; Italy promises a ship from its navy will escort the flotilla in its humanitarian mission.

NATO Allies at Odds Over How to Respond to Russia’s Threats
NATO Allies at Odds Over How to Respond to Russia’s Threats
NATO allies are struggling to coordinate a response to Russian airspace violations, with partners in the defense alliance openly contradicting each other.Michael Nienaber (Bloomberg)
Incidentally, the indecisiveness is a great illustration of why command structures matter. When a centralized system like Russia's encounters a problem, the government makes a plan, and everyone down the chain of command executes it. Militaries always have hierarchical organization for the same reason. Imagine if a platoon in a firefight had to take a vote on what to do next. The chain of command exists to turn a big-picture strategy into immediate, coordinated action, even when things are chaotic.
That's exactly where NATO's weakness starts to become apparent. It's a giant alliance where 32 different peers are trying to agree on what to do. Everyone has to agree, or at least not veto the plan. Getting consensus is slow, messy, and often leads to watered-down decisions that try to make everyone happy but aren't actually the best move. The whole thing has been held together by the US acting as the de facto decision maker, but now the US is starting to pull back and chaos reigns.

Questions after coming from Lemmy
Hi folks,
I was using Lemmy for the better part of two years and thought I'd come over to piefed and see what's up. A few things puzzled me and I'm hoping this is the best place to ask.
- It seems all top level comments are locked for replies - is that a server thing? A federation thing?
- Scrolling through All, the content just... stops. I'm using the Boost client (maybe that's why?). I get it if I'm sorting by top hour - there's only so much posted per hour. But it's the same for Hot, Scaled, Active, etc.
Edit: looks like both of these are issues with the Boost client. Switching to Summit on Android resolves both.
Thanks for the help!
I don’t know why All would stop like that, it shouldn’t do.
