Oklahoma Threatens Public Schools' Accreditation Unless They Set Up Turning Point USA Chapters | Common Dreams
Ryan Walters, the state’s superintendent of public instruction, released a video address on Tuesday saying that “every Oklahoma high school will have a Turning Point USA chapter.”
“For far too long we have seen radical leftists with the teachers unions dominate classrooms and push woke indoctrination on our kids,” Walters said in the video posted to social media.
The state-mandated chapters of “Club America,” Turning Point’s high school program, will ensure students “understand American greatness” while enabling them to “engage in civic dialogue and have that open discussion,” said Walters.

Sarkozy condannato a 5 anni per il caso dei fondi libici: “Dormirò in carcere, ma a testa alta”
Un terremoto politico-giudiziario scuote la Francia: Nicolas Sarkozy, ex presidente della Repubblica, è stato condannato a cinque anni di reclusione per associazione a delinquere nell’ambito del processo sui presunti finanziamenti libici alla campagna elettorale del 2007.
Si tratta di una sentenza senza precedenti nella storia della Quinta Repubblica, che pone per la prima volta un ex capo di Stato francese a rischio di una lunga detenzione.

A New Lawsuit Alleges the Gun Industry Exploited Firearm Owners’ Data for Political Gain
Two major law firms accused the National Shooting Sports Foundation this week of violating the privacy rights of millions of gun owners by running a decades-long program that sent their information to political operatives without consent.
The allegations in a lawsuit filed Monday in federal court by Keller Rohrback of Seattle and Motley Rice of Connecticut closely mirror the findings of a ProPublica investigation that detailed the secret program operated by the gun industry’s largest trade group.
The 24-page complaint asks the court for approval of class-action status and requests financial damages against the NSSF, claiming the gun industry lobbyist enriched itself by exploiting valuable gun buyer information for political gain. It features the accounts of two gun owners, Daniel Cocanour and Dale Rimkus, both of whom assert they purchased rifles, pistols and handguns from the 1990s through the mid-2010s.

Amazon agrees to pay $2.5bn over claims it tricked Prime customers
Amazon has agreed to pay $2.5bn (£1.9bn) to resolve claims brought by the US government that it tricked millions of people into enrolling as Prime members and made it difficult to cancel.
A total of $1.5bn will go to refunds for customers that were duped into signing up for the service, according to the proposed settlement announced by Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The deal came just a few days after trial began before a jury in Seattle. It marks a major victory for the FTC, yielding the largest ever civil penalty secured by the agency.
Amazon, which did not admit or deny the allegations, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Live updates: OMB tells agencies to draft mass firing plans ahead of potential shutdown
In a memo released Wednesday night, the Office of Management and Budget said agencies should consider a reduction in force for federal programs whose funding would lapse next week, is not otherwise funded and is “not consistent with the President’s priorities.” That would be a much more aggressive step than in previous shutdowns, when federal workers not deemed essential were furloughed but returned to their jobs once Congress approved government spending.
A reduction in force would not only lay off employees but eliminate their positions, which would trigger yet another massive upheaval in a federal workforce that has already faced major rounds of cuts this year due to efforts from the Department of Government Efficiency and elsewhere in the Trump administration.

Best practises for URL linking in sidebar
Hi,
I moderate/curate a few communities on Piefed.world:
- !strategy_games@piefed.world
- !turnbasedstrategy@piefed.world
- !space_games@piefed.world
I have a sidebar with links to other gaming focused communities.
Currently, the sidebar includes links using the following format:
Text Description - [!]community_name@instance
What would be the best way to make "Text Description" a direct link. I don't want to use the direct/absolute URL links since it would be instance specific. Is there a way to make the "[!]community_name@instance" the URL linked to the Text Description?
I am looking to make the sidebar less verbose. Best option is something that offers transparent compatibility across Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin.
Would I use something like
[Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com)
I believe the format above doesn't work well (I could be wrong I asked about this more than a year ago).
Cheers
I am using the 2nd example format you're showing but with the url for my wiki I'm starting on c/PoliticalCartoons and it seems to be working well enough so far.
And, the tags tag was broken. Looks like word clouds were updated! TIL
The !strategy_games@piefed.world (no square brackets needed) notation should work on both lemmy and piefed. I am not sure about mbin. Last time I checked, this didn't work, but that was a while ago.
The markdown link notation [text](https://piefed.world/c/strategy_games) won't be instance-agnostic in the same way. I don't believe there is a way to link in an instance-agnostic way while changing the text of the link.
By instance-agnostic I mean that users on other instances will be taken to the community on their own instance rather than the home instance. As an example, you, as a piefed.social user, if you clicked on !anime@ani.social, then you are taken to that community, but on piefed.social. If a user on lemmy.world clicked that link, they would be taken to that community on lemmy.world.
Without that notation, if I just made a standard markdown-formatted link:
- anime@ani.social - written as
[anime@ani.social](https://ani.social/c/anime)
...then users of other instances would always just be taken to the ani.social instance instead of staying on their own.
So am I correct in understanding that the notation [Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com) wouldn't work? A markdown URL link that refers not to a URL, but to markdown notation for threadiverse non-absolute links.
I am looking to make link where the text is "Strategy Games" but the link is not a URL, but a non-absolute link that sends you to the community via your own instance.
I am OK with the current format (e.g. used in !strategy_games@piefed.world), but I prefer a cleaner non-absolute link that works in a transparent manner.
So am I correct in understanding that the notation [Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com) wouldn’t work?
Correct. The markdown syntax of [text](url) doesn't work in a way that keeps people on their own instances. Also, when the part in the () is not a fully qualified url, you can get unpredictable behavior and it might behave differently for different fediverse software. Testing it now, it looks like piefed falls back on assuming it is a pointing to a post(?) but ends up just 404'ing.
It is currently not possible to customize the text of links intended to keep people on their own instances. However, I actually think that the notation you are presenting here makes a lot of sense. It might not be fully compliant with the commonmark markdown spec, but the fediverse breaks that in its own ways plenty of other places. I have done a lot of the work on the piefed markdown_to_html translation, so I might see if this could sneak into a future release. No idea if there would be buy-in from lemmy/mbin though.
Thank you for the clarification.
I do think it does make sense to support this style outlined in context of the Threadiverse. On top of that, a fallback absolute URL would also be great, albeit this is outside my pay grade. 😀

The key part is that liberalism justifies the use of state violence to safeguard property rights, even when they come into direct conflict with the needs of the public at large. Private property being framed as a key part of individual freedom provides the foundational justification for the rich to keep their wealth while ignoring the needs of everyone else. Thus, when push comes to shove, liberal state is forced to reveal that it represents the interests of the rich.

Basket - Protocollo Biglietto Nominativo - Un abbonamento in due per la Fortitudo.
Con la stagione 2025/2026 è entrato in vigore il famigerato Protocollo, molto contestato dalle frange più calde dei tifosi, sull'obbligo di biglietti nominativi. La motivazione, o scusa per alcuni, è di poter verificare che eventuali soggetti colpiti da Daspo o potenzialmente "problematici" vengano esclusi dal poter accedere alle partite.
Oggi scopro che la Fortitudo Bologna consente di cedere la possibilità di assistere a una partita, a ogni abbonato.
Basta recarsi sul sito della società, scaricare il modulo, riempirlo, stamparlo e poi portarlo con sé, ovviamente con un documento di identità valido.
Tutto bene? Probabilmente sì; tuttavia ci vedo la possibilità di far entrare i soggetti non ben accetti, se i controlli non sono ferrei.
Teniamo conto che gli addetti alla sicurezza non hanno (?) la possibilità di verificare sulla relativa piattaforma, se il sostituto sia soggetto a qualche limitazione all'ingresso, almeno non in tempo reale.
A oggi è l'unico caso di cui sia venuto a conoscenza. Se altre società applicano lo stesso metodo o simili, sarei grato delle segnalazioni.

Biden presidency summed up
2019 and 2020 were fucking wild. There were global protests. Americans were fighting with the National Guard in the streets. They were burning down police stations and chased the US president into a bunker. The government was just mailing checks to people. Millions of people suddenly weren’t going to work and didn’t have to pay rent or student loans. Everyone got a taste of how radically different life could be and how powerful we could be together.And then Joe Biden said “actually let’s just reset to exactly the way things were before and not fundamentally change the system that brought us to this point” and people wonder why we ended up with fascism.

Civility Is a Fantasy
After encouraging podcast listeners of the recently deceased Charlie Kirk to become online vigilantes in search of anyone “celebrating” Mr. Kirk’s death, Vice President JD Vance said last week: “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility. And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”
Vance was doing what conservatives often do — conjuring up people so his followers have someone specific to foment against. This brand of demagoguery is incredibly dangerous, because when informally deputized vigilantes realize that few real enemies exist, they accept any substitute. They direct their manufactured ire toward innocent people, marginalized groups and, eventually, each other.
Civility is the mode of engagement that is often demanded in political discourse; it is the price of admission to important political conversation, its adherents would have us believe; no civility, no service. But civility — this idea that there is a perfect, polite way to communicate about sociopolitical differences — is a fantasy...

disperazione pomeridiana, di stampo rigirante, accidentalmente universitario.
Oggi mi sentivo un po’ vecchia, un po’ marcita, un po’ persa, per quanto assolutamente mai meno magica (anche perché stavolta non ho dimenticato pezzi a casa per uscire, quindi bene)… e perché però? Boh, perché nonostante le nuove cose ci sono comunque sempre soltanto io e me, ed i momenti veramente epici sono limitati, se non nulli, al di fuori delle benedettissime distrazioni… e perché in appena due giorni di fare avanti e indietro fuori casa, per qualche motivo, due (2) unghie a caso delle mie importanti ditine si sono scassate… una particolarmente. Dovrei ritagliarle e rimettere lo smalto, ma ieri sera mi scordai, e stasera probabilmente i poteri forti troveranno un altro modo per impedirmelo… 🥴Ma, per una buona volta, ho nel possibile (cioè, nel così piccolo da richiedermi pensiero quasi nullo e solo pochi secondi di tempo) deciso di accettare la disperazione, e… ho cambiato la cover del telefono con questa qui di qualche tempo fa, a portafoglio, che dunque fa molto zia boomer… (Ma davvero eh, di solito non si trova gente sotto i 40 anni con queste, e in genere i telefoni su cui sono applicate sono pure pieni di malware.) Ok, in effetti il collegamento logico è fragile, ma il mio cervello ha deciso così, e così è; prossima volta, a pensarci meglio, prendo l’altra mia cover vecchia, quella viola, che è tutta consumata e scolorita in vari punti, con attaccato un laccetto di fortuna marcio, e forse quella sarebbe più appropriata. Comunque, visto che le distrazioni, alle 2 di pomeriggio, nel mezzo del letterale vuoto orario, non bastavano a farmi stare a posto, oggi sono pure andata alla macchinetta a prelevare la droga, e a quel punto si che sono stata nel mio… nella disperazione, certo, ma pur sempre la mia personalissima e inconfondibile disperazione! 🥰
Quindi, oggi il mood è questo. Contemporaneamente maledetto, ma a suo modo sacro ed inviolabile. E sono a dire il vero un po’ in dubbio sul se la foto di queste così immacolate vibe scattata non solo con la webcam del PC portatile, ma scattando una schermata del desktop del portatile con la fotocamera aperta, faccia più disperazione o più vecchiaia, ma quello che davvero conta è che è reale. Con Android Studio aperto sotto non per caso, ovviamente, ma perché a queste condizioni così pesanti è davvero meglio abbandonarsi alla sofferenza autoinflitta dello sviluppo Android, piuttosto che lasciarsi tirare in pasto da quel vuoto esistenziale che si nasconde sempre, costantemente, dietro ogni angolo, dentro ogni parete… (Forse anche per questo, dopo essermi piazzata col PC in aula studio, ho in modo parzialmente inconscio fatto la speedrun per andare alla macchinetta più lontana, che quella vicina aveva una fila interminabile, per acquistare il caffè, che oggi ha vinto sulla mia tirchiaggine senza nemmeno una gran lotta? E boh…) 🦴🦜 OctoVoLTE ~ RSS Vibes Season ("microblogoctt" aka "fritto misto di octospacc" e "diario di octt" o "diarioctt")

"TEE‑based AI models run their inference or training inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a hardware‑secured enclave that isolates code and data from the rest of the system. This provides data confidentiality, protects the model’s IP, enables cryptographic attestation of the exact model version, and satisfies regulatory privacy requirements, making AI services trustworthy and suitable for secure multi‑party or decentralized applications." One downside is that they are usually pretty expensive to run

I do back it up with the rest of my stuff to an external hard drive, but that's... Like once in a year so could be better.
I have my keepass database file in my cloud that i use to sync it between phone and PC. I create a backup of all of my files on my PC + cloud folder once a year to an external hard drive. Better than nothing but probably would be better to do this more frequently 😄
I also empty my phone from time to time and move everything I want to keep to my PC (like photos).

in reply to ZinQ • • •Didn't see this comment but: I trust enough my cloud provider + the database file is encrypted with the masterpassword you set for your keepass.
I also use this cloud to host my Joplin notes, which are also E2EE (joplin supports it) so even if my cloud provider would take a peek it's all encrypted.

in reply to ZinQ • • •You can of course. I think the selling point is that you control it and it's a single file that you can decide where you'll keep it, how you access it, and what app you use to interact with it.
I can copy, delete, move it all without needing a service for it. Can modify it offline and everything!
I don't host the file on a password manager dedicated cloud, it's my own cloud space with other files I have there as well. So the file is just in my cloud space, with other files, and i have a synced folder on my phone + pc and just access that cloud folder with the file from keepassXC on my PC and keepassDX on my phone 😀
For me keepass offered a single databae file that I can decide where and how I keep it. Also works offline because the cloud syncs folders and even without internet a version exists on my phones cloud folder (until it gets synced again with internet).

in reply to ZinQ • • •I had not heard of ubicloud, that's pretty cool! Thanks for the tip!
And sure:
I don't self host it, I got managed owncloud space from a domain and web host provider.
I manage my own VPS that I got from them but the cloudspace came extra with buying the domain + email services (I've managed email server at my job and no way in hell will I do that for myself, too much headache).
So basically, in short, I have a managed email + owncloud space (just 5gb, don't honestly need more) from a commercial provider and just use owncloud app on my phone and PC to sync folders on both. I keep my encrypted joplin notes and (encrypted by default) keepass database on this cloud. Owncloud takes care of syncing and I just use Joplin and KeePass on both devices and set them to use the files in owncloud folder. Never had an issue in 2 years with anything.
Technically my provider could scan my stuff, but they won't get anything out of joplin notes or keepass.
Your idea for a setup sounds way more private, but i think for my usecase I've been happy since it's so low effort and still does what I want it to do.
I have seen on lemmy people recommend syncthing (syncthing.net/) for keepass, which directly synchronizes a folder between devices without a middleman if you wanr. But everytime you want to sync you need to have both devices on for that as there is no automatic middleman that is always available. Maybe that could be done with a raspberry pi?
Anyway: you can easily set this up with proton if you already have proton cloud no?

Nevertheless, good luck on your privacy journey! I'm working on it too!

in reply to ZinQ • • •Are those green mini icons an indication of a PWA shortcut?
I use the app Hermit to run isolated websites, usually as PWAs. It's replaced quite a few apps, but I've noticed that many companies are intentionally making their web experience shit so they force you to use invasive apps.
Anyway, it can create home icons for those sites, and they run separately (i.e. in your task switcher), so it works better than browser shortcuts.

in reply to ZinQ • • •Some apps that you use are not safe. Aurora store doesnt send too much data to google but it doesnt verify app signatures which can lead to installing malicious apps, use normal play store instead which verifies app signatures (its also suggested to use by grapheneos devs). Whatsapp, collects data about you. Cromite, uses adblock plus which is really bad.
Also here is another reason why cromite is bad:

also while aurora store doesn't verifies signatures, is has Exodus integrated which dynamically analyses & warns about spyware, tracks and telemetry so you more caucious about the littered "free" apps...

in reply to Kailn • • •Yes, ironfox is good too (i forgot to mention it) but on grapheneos you will want to end up using their browser
Also, having exodus integration in app downloader is good but not worth it for exchange of no signature verification, so it's better to just check it in browser instead or use their app to check trackers
Kailn
in reply to Igilq • • •Cool, especially more so on PWA.
But I'd still recommend having ironfox for general browsing & not throwing privacy to the window.

Your whatsapp session will expire over time & you gonna need to reinstall it on your phone.
Ether install whatsapp on private space or, if you feel adventurous, selfhost a Matrix-Whatsapp bridge.
Alternatively, convince your socials to use smh foss & more reliable,
Maybe telegram if they insist on mainstream,
It got a foss client but telegram doesn't enable E2EE by default (Secret Chat).

in reply to Starkon • • •WARNING: this reply have 2 ounces of opinion-like ""facts"", a pinch of logic that make 0 sense & a whole bottle of chunky post,
Read, at your own warrenty...
Of course, signal, molly&unipush or even threema or anything more practical / security-audited is more worthy of your phone number and storing your data in an encrypted form,
I'd recommend conversation or matrix even more so they don't require a phone number(but for some reason, they're more scarce in usage)
Since messaging apps have to do with, well, messaging people & socializing, going to a person that doesn't have your app & genteelly asks them to install an app is an inconvenience that people want to avoid...
Don't get me wrong, I'd spend an hour talking messaging apps their differencies & cons but, as far as I'm aware, most non-tech invested ppl would consider this "dead-time" and would rather already text on the "avaliable app"
So, instead, you'd preinstall "mainstream" apps to not even mention it and start texting instandly since you're usually expected to have it (pre)installed. (i remember whatsapp and fb-messanger being preinstalled on some vendors)
This or use imessage & make them question their existence 😀 Even on android
To the best of my knowledge, the top "mainstream" apps out there are:
whatsapp, telegram, discord (yes, DiScOaRd), imessage and sadly, facebook messanger.
(I know signal is getting recognised in "mainstream" & getting more adoption, but for some reason, I don't see ppl installing it because it's not "that" viral to have enough contacts or it would go unoticed by them because "muh FBI and privacy controversies are too creepy" )
most ppl are aware of these apps and their mass adoptions so they wouldn't even bother and just get it done with or install the app already.
Out of these options only 2 are actually viable for secure & private messaging especially for Floss:
Telegram, for being "transparent" & having it's source avaliable for security auditing.
imessage: for being E2EE encrypted by default with The Manufactureᵀᴹ showing some dedication about the anonimity & security of the product.
Telegram don't E2EE by default, but you can just start a secret chat that would be private, at least they allowed for foss, third-party clients & made their own "proxy" while encoraging VPNs,
imessage can't be really called floss because the offical client isn't & is also gate-limited by The Manufactureᵀᴹ , but at least it has a foss unoffical client that still faily usable (with the compromise of needing MacOS "installed & certified" or paying for an access token.
Outside of this, there's really no scope for consideration, most messaging apps that made it to "mainstream" ether doesn't care about their users securities & would actively report anything big bros for " the general safety of the userbase" or be a hidden honeypot that collect dats & sell it to advertisers while lying about it. (even whatsapp that & think we're dumbies),
When one starts to pick for messaging applications, there's no "choice", "consideration" or even the qualities to think if it genually a good platform, you're left with only dedication to utilize a messaging app for what it offers & push your circle of people to join you there...
You may convince your friends, but you can't convince your coworker, team, boss, partner of a project, your online fellas or even your family memebers depending on their tech literacy.
OP didn't consider ditching whatsapp, instead, they considered methods to hinder whatsapp's privacy violations & telemetry, I'm not OP but, that's seemingly the case;
Even if they run whatsapp on an sandboxed, private space & use a 20 yr-old trash phone, running whatsapp at all on android is a risk since android has lots of APIs that provides device metadata that can be used to uniquely profile users & fingerprint them.
I can be wrong, but I see only 2 actions OP can do:
1) Utilize whatsapp web (& android vm to scan) to setup a bridging server / service (like matrix-bridge or beeper & make devices connect to it (port forward, local "vpn" or beeper) or,
2) Push their circule of people to use an another "mainstream" platform OP can trust...
Sometimes, having online conversation can be totally inconvenient or tiresome, not only because of whom, but how, this is one of them...
I don't like telegram at all, especially so with the latest policy change but, it's easier.

in reply to ZinQ • • •I see,
But at this rate, you gonna always make sure whatsapp runs on a VPN AND behind a kill switch so it doesn't leak,
also maybe you're interested in using tailscale or netbird to skip the port forwarding / domain hassle so you can connect to your matrix server and use the bridge in minutes.
There's a new foss netbird client for android if it satisfies.
