Khalil, who was detained by immigration authorities for three months earlier this year over his advocacy for Palestinian rights, was ordered deported to Algeria or Syria on Wednesday afternoon. The Palestinian green card holder, who was born in Syria, became a flashpoint after his detention was explicitly tied to his activism against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
The news that he may now be expelled from the country should have been met with equal or greater condemnation from liberals and the left than Kimmel’s was. (Khalil appears safe so long as his federal case against the original detention proceeds, but the new immigration ruling was under new pretenses, meaning he could be deported when the federal trial ends.)
It’s a far more dangerous and brutal consequence of speech the White House doesn’t like than a suspension from late night hosting duties. Never mind the imbalance — the two cases didn’t even merit equal treatment in the eyes of the corporate media.
Kimmel is certainly more prominent and famous — a household name to much of the country — than Khalil is. That isn’t the only reason for the differing levels of outrage. Indeed, the recognition gap was in large part thanks to the corporate media’s failings to properly cover Khalil’s detention in the first place, due to the uniqueness of the main issue animating his ordeal: his advocacy for Palestine.

Demonstrators in Madagascar's capital Antananaivon flouted a ban from authorities to protest against the nation's water and electricity outages on September 25. Our Observers who attended the protests described the security forces' response as violent and disproportionate: tear gas being deployed at close proximity and vehicles ploughing into the crowd, resulting in multiple injuries and generalised chaos. At least five people died in the unrest, a hospital source reported.

Britain's Middle East minister has apparently accepted that there is a "risk" of genocide in Gaza, but has been accused of mislesading Labour Party members over the contents of a major UN report.
I don't understand how someone concludes that working for them translates to being a fascist. I understand not wanting to support it but calling them a fascist seems dumb.
New #nixos board observer candidate (github.com/NixOS/foundation/pu…), working for a US autonomous weapon company and paid by Thiel dollars, casually complaining that a proposal empowers minorities too much.
Moving forward, I would also like to participate in these discussions.
NixOS has been (and still is) a big part of my life, and would like to see both the technology and community succeed.
About me...
Thank you very much for bringing this up. This kind of direct confirmation from Anduril loses them plausible and implausible deniability. They do want to exert control over community, and everyone suggesting otherwise is factually wrong.
We have a lack of words used in the English language that specifies graduations and grades of arseholes.
Just like some languages have one word for snow, and others have dozens
Edit: I noticed several people disagreed. But did not explain: is it because they think there are enough words, or they like the word fascist and think it’s appropriate in current usages?
Or option C: there's a discussion going on about an open source project, and you're starting a discussion about the semantics of the word fascist/asshole, without taking a clear stance on what you mean. I didn't downvote you, but I also have no idea what you were going for with that statement. It seems unrelated.
I didn't downvote you, but it's unclear what you meant by stating that.
Depending on how one interprets it, it can be seen as a justification for using "fascist" (since there isn't a more accurate word) or simply a way to emphasize that the term is inaccurate and shouldn't be used.
So I'm not surprised if you get up/down votes from both sides in either direction, specially in a polarizing discussion. Not because of what you said being wrong/right, but because of what they might read between lines.
For the past half hour I tried to read into what's happened, and who the supposed fascists are, and these are the facts I managed to uncover. I hope it will serve anyone who reads this well:
Communities are gonna drama.
Moderating is hard and (paraphrasing Douglas Adams) anyone who wants to do it, shouldn't be allowed to.
I really don't care enough to waste more time on this.
What that user pointed out is, that it has "ties to a fascist company". But in my opinion;
A government can have ties to a communist leader or organization, and still not be a communist government.
A project can have ties to an anarchist and that still won't make the project be anarchist.
But if a project has ties to a fascist company the project itself turns fascist?
Pd. I asked for more info because if ties to a company make you fascist, at least the user who commented that should have very good arguments to dictate if NixOS is fascist based on what they know.
That's like saying, "A community in lemmy has lots of users that come from X anarchist instance, so that Community must now be anarchist!"
Fascist don't invade spaces, more so, the thing I'm seeing commonly are angry people calling normal people "fascists", so then can kick them out of projects or groups because "screw them, they're fascists! so we fuck them over until they are no longer involved or present!, because we are good and they are bad"
Again, fuck TRUE fascists, but I'm still waiting for arguments on what makes NixOS a Fascist Project
From what I can tell the steering committee (project leadership) wanted to modify the mod team, the mod team wants to be independent of the leadership of the project, and one member of the certain committee works or did work for a genuinely shitty company in some capacity.
Sorry dont really have time to get into it, tldr its a us defense company (which makes it already fascist) but also pro-trump (so its openly fascist) read more in this thread as well: lemmy.ml/post/36786640
Also quite the gall to assert that "not everything that you dislike = fascism" when you don't even know the main reason why people are calling it fascist
Anduril’s autonomous surveillance towers have been used on the U.S.–Mexico border to detect and track migrants, as part of DHS programs. This has drawn criticism from immigrant rights groups and academics who argue such systems dehumanize migrants and enable policies that align with authoritarian nationalism.
Anduril is privately funded (by VC firms like Founders Fund) but markets and sells directly to governments and military agencies, without the typical government R&D cycle. It builds weapons and surveillance systems first, then offers them to the state. This “build first, ask later” model can lead to unchecked corporate influence over the military-industrial complex, which some critics argue is a step toward a techno-authoritarian fascist regime.
Anduril founder Palmer Luckey was ousted from Oculus after it was revealed he funded a pro-Trump meme organization (Nimble America) known for spreading far-right content during the 2016 election. While this doesn’t make the company fascist, it raises concerns for critics about the political leanings of its leadership and how those ideologies could influence product deployment.
Anduril is deeply involved in developing autonomous weapon systems, like the ALTIUS-600M loitering munition. Critics warn that the use of AI to identify and kill targets without human input could lead to violations of international law and facilitate mass violence or authoritarian control. Anduril’s heavy investment in such systems leads some to see it as advancing a dystopian militarized fascist future.
Linux Distribution "NixOS" drama: Moderation Team resigns in protest over Interference of Leadership; Elected Leader works for US Military Company, fearing alignment with US fascistic development

No it's not. It is currently facing fascism. But the story is being written as we speak. Is it going to succumb to it? Or fight and prevail? We don't know... Stay tuned for the next episode, we're going to find out in about 2 months.
Edit: Leadership is now going to make the decision whether they like the arms industry or not. And that's going to be reflected in the vote in a few weeks.
Eh, I do not think it is fascist yet. It sure has a lot of issues though.
This may be the Weimar Republic stage of the project, and it's not too late to save it.
I say if you are an eligible voter, you should vote. Given the voter base is small, your vote really counts. Read the candidates' profiles carefully. Make sure that no people associated with or supportive of the US MIC are on your ballot.
So far I count djacu and tomberek as the list of people to not vote for. But make sure to check for yourself, there will be more candidates.
On the contrary, put the people who are explicitly against MIC meddling first in your ballot. Currently they are cafkafk and leona-ya. Put everyone else on your ballot too, to reduce the chance of an MIC-related person getting on. But again, make sure to check candidate's answers before voting.
It is the least you can do and if enough people do it, we might come out with a more antifascist SC. I doubt it will help with any technical issues we're facing, like the lack of Nix maintenance power, but it could save the project from becoming right-wing.
XLibre claiming to be apolitical is hilarious when their readme sounds like it's written by a MAGAt. Never touching that project that's for sure.
Also pretty sure that stuff about the founder is bs, unless you can back that up with a source. From my understanding he ended up stepping down because he was already putting more attention into determinate nix, which was causing friction.
Practically speaking all open source software is communist, insofar as the capital, which in the case of software would be the source code and the means to build and deploy it, is available to anyone with the wherewithal to use it.
I mean I would not contribute due to the mit license if anything. Many people feel the concerns are overblown but given things can be forked its not like you would loose the contributed code. Still if Im going to give my time I will go copyleft.

did you just drop the full index into the config, like the 'how to use' image shows in the repo's 'readme'? take that out, it's all 10,000+ 'channels'. go into the repo's 'streams' directory and find one or a few for your country and add those instead (load the 'raw' url for each in the browser, then copy the resulting address from your browser address bar into the config).
But I went through the same thing with iptv-org. It seems many of the listed channels are largely dead. I manually scrubbed the english list by checking the channels but it was pretty brutal. I think like 200-400 channels were working out of 2000+.
There are also online m3u checkers if you search like "m3u checker". I've used some web-based apps. They're somewhat slow but ok. There's also an m3u checker that you can install locally. I haven't tried it yet but I'm wondering if it might be faster.
I try not to bother with obviously pirated channels because they usually go down pretty quick. I'm much more interested in legit channels that will stay up.
Lastly I also have all the Pluto channels with EPG. I used this app for the channels and EPG.
I also wrote some scripts to download/merge channels and EPGs. TBH it's kind of a PITA but it's like a hobby.
(edit: One last thing... I noticed that some channels worked with VLC but not Kodi. I had to adjust some settings in Kodi to make them work. In particular I had to change my user agent to OKHTTP for Pluto channels.)

Jerusalem (AFP) – Facing increasing isolation abroad and mounting pressure at home, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will defend his intention to "finish the job" in Gaza when he meets US President Donald Trump on Monday.
The meeting comes days after Trump unveiled a 21-point plan aimed at ending the war in the Palestinian territory during discussions with Arab and Muslim leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
On Sunday, Trump hinted at "something special" to come in Middle East talks, adding in a post on his Truth Social platform: "WE WILL GET IT DONE!!!"
On Friday, Trump had told reporters in Washington "I think we have a deal" on Gaza, even as Netanyahu, speaking at the UN, vowed to "finish the job" in Israel's war against Hamas.
But experts told AFP that Netanyahu appeared to be cornered, facing growing international and domestic calls to end the war.
"He has no other choice but to accept" Trump's plan for a ceasefire, said Eytan Gilboa, an expert on US-Israel relations at Israel's Bar-Ilan University.
"Simply because the United States and Trump have remained almost his only ally in the international community."
In Israel, tens of thousands of protesters have pressured Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire, and on Saturday they urged Trump to use his influence.
"The only thing that can stop the slide into the abyss is a full, comprehensive agreement that ends the war and brings all the hostages and the soldiers home," said Lishay Miran-Lavi, wife of Omri Miran, who remains captive in Gaza.
Directly addressing Trump, she urged: "Use your influence with Prime Minister Netanyahu."
Israel's international isolation has deepened in recent days, with countries including the UK, France, Canada and Australia officially recognising Palestinian statehood, breaking with longstanding US-led diplomatic protocols.
Trump's 21-point plan, according to a diplomatic source, envisions a permanent ceasefire, the release of hostages, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a major influx of humanitarian aid.
Arab and Muslim leaders welcomed the proposal, but have also called for an immediate halt to Israel's military operations and any occupation of Gaza.
Other elements of the plan will prove hard for Netanyahu to swallow, and could even lead to the collapse of his right-wing government coalition.
Among the most controversial is the involvement of the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority (PA) in the future governance of Gaza.
The PA ruled the territory until Hamas seized control in 2007, and its potential restoration represents a red line for Netanyahu's hardline coalition partners.
While the US proposal conditions the PA's return on implementing reform programmes, these changes "could take years" to materialise, Gilboa warned.
Several far-right ministers in Netanyahu's coalition have threatened to collapse the government if he agrees to the PA's return, or if he ends the war without defeating Hamas.
However, opposition leader Yair Lapid has offered a parliamentary "safety net", promising his centrist Yesh Atid party would support a ceasefire and hostage-release deal -- but it is not clear whether other opposition parties would follow suit.
"This kind of broad plan would need a broad consensus," said Ksenia Svetlova, a former Knesset member who now heads the regional cooperation NGO ROPES.
Svetlova predicted Netanyahu would only accept parts of the deal, while trying to negotiate or postpone decisions on other elements "seem difficult in this moment".
Another contentious point in the US proposal is who would guarantee security in the Gaza Strip once the Israeli army pulls out and Hamas is disarmed.
The proposal envisions an international security force comprising Palestinian personnel alongside troops from Arab and Muslim nations.
However, critical details about command structure and operational control remain unclear.
"This plan is internationalising the Gaza conflict in an unprecedented way," Svetlova said, "but without a clear plan on who will be the guiding star, what the end goals are, who will see it through."
"The unpredictability factor runs wild here, really."
Not surprising. Since October 2023, an average of 28 kids are killed in Gaza by Israel according to UNICEF.
Think about it. You'll go out to sleep today, and Israeli forces will have killed 28 kids again through that day. Nothing you could do to stop it. Nothing anyone does could stop it.

Con tutte le rogne che mi porto appreso, mi era proprio sfuggito di mente un fatto eppure non insignificante, cioè che è arrivato l’autismo. (Anche detto autunno.) Le ore di Sole sono già molte di meno, si, ma questo si è avviato da qualche mese… l’autismo, che è arrivato di botto e si è fatto […]
autunniaco autismo portato all’eccesso congelante (l’autunno ha portato freddo dal niente)
Con tutte le rogne che mi porto appreso, mi era proprio sfuggito di mente un fatto eppure non insignificante, cioè che è arrivato l’autismo. (Anche detto autunno.) Le ore di Sole sono già molte di meno, si, ma questo si è avviato da qualche mese… l’autismo, che è arrivato di botto e si è fatto sentire bello prepotente, ha portato altro: un freddo di cui è impossibile capacitarsi (e non solo per me, ma per tutti coloro da cui ho sentito un parere a riguardo), e per giunta venuto dalla sera alla mattina dopo; senza esagerazioni! (Anche se non dal 20 al 21, o dal 21 al 22… è più dal 24 al 25, ma credo questo sia per colpa del normale offset delle stagioni.) E pensare che l’autunno, almeno a livello iperuranico, dovrebbe trasmettere solo sensazioni di calore e goduria... bah! 🥶
La cosa è anche un po’ un colmo perché, come solito in questa era post-moderna rovinata dagli orrori della rivoluzione industriale e delle varie rivoluzioni economiche, ho osservato il classico controsenso.Martedì, quando ho iniziato i corsi, complice il fatto che ci fosse allerta meteo e stesse infatti anche piovendo (perché ovviamente non può non piovere il primo giorno del semestre mio e di tanta altra gente, ci mancherebbe, poi si rischia di cadere nella trappola dell’ottimismo!), pensavo sarebbe stato freddino… ma invece si stava bene, a posto. E anche il giorno dopo, un po’ faceva brutto tempo, con qualche gocciolina, ma non si stava male. E quindi chiaramente, giovedì, che il tempo è tornato sereno, ha dovuto iniziare a fare un freddo dei pazzi che, alle 9 di mattina, mi ha presa completamente alla sprovvista. Un po’ sarà stata colpa dell’aula, che fa schifo, è fin troppo esposta all’aria, e le finestre si trovano sempre aperte, quindi si può immaginare che ricircolo polare artico-mortale ci fosse, con tutto che i condizionatori stanno ancora su freddo… e vabbé, oggi e venerdì dunque ho dovuto cacciare fuori la felpa, pazienza. 😐 C’è chi dice che l’autismo è come il sale: usarne un po’ migliora i sapori, ma quando è troppo esce tutto una schifezza… ecco, mi sa che è corretto. Quindi, se la promessa dell'”autunno stile ragazza autistica -core” sembra di per sé una benedizione — e oso dire che lo sarebbe, se non ci fosse questo problema qui — con questo troppo ha sinceramente stroppiato; cioè, ragà, il freddo già lo fa, ma le foglie nemmeno hanno avuto il tempo di marronizzarsi e cadere dagli alberi, e comunque non fa ancora abbastanza freddo per inglobarsi in copertine e avere scuse per non faticare…che schifo e che noia. Tuttavia, io ancora non ho acquisito il potere di controllare le stagioni, men che meno il meteo, e dei babbani figurarsi, quindi… pure di questa cosa, bisogna farsene una ragione; siamo nati per soffrire, e sono nata per ricondividere al mondo questa sofferenza. 🍂

in reply to shaytan • • •Sorry dont really have time to get into it, tldr its a us defense company (which makes it already fascist) but also pro-trump (so its openly fascist) read more in this thread as well: lemmy.ml/post/36786640
Also quite the gall to assert that "not everything that you dislike = fascism" when you don't even know the main reason why people are calling it fascist

in reply to shaytan • • •Anduril’s autonomous surveillance towers have been used on the U.S.–Mexico border to detect and track migrants, as part of DHS programs. This has drawn criticism from immigrant rights groups and academics who argue such systems dehumanize migrants and enable policies that align with authoritarian nationalism.
Anduril is privately funded (by VC firms like Founders Fund) but markets and sells directly to governments and military agencies, without the typical government R&D cycle. It builds weapons and surveillance systems first, then offers them to the state. This “build first, ask later” model can lead to unchecked corporate influence over the military-industrial complex, which some critics argue is a step toward a techno-authoritarian fascist regime.
Anduril founder Palmer Luckey was ousted from Oculus after it was revealed he funded a pro-Trump meme organization (Nimble America) known for spreading far-right content during the 2016 election. While this doesn’t make the company fascist, it raises concerns for critics about the political leanings of its leadership and how those ideologies could influence product deployment.
Anduril is deeply involved in developing autonomous weapon systems, like the ALTIUS-600M loitering munition. Critics warn that the use of AI to identify and kill targets without human input could lead to violations of international law and facilitate mass violence or authoritarian control. Anduril’s heavy investment in such systems leads some to see it as advancing a dystopian militarized fascist future.

in reply to rhabarba • • •It is currently being threatened, yes.
Edit: Leadership is now going to make the decision whether they like the arms industry or not. And that's going to be reflected in the vote in a few weeks.

in reply to rhabarba • • •Eh, I do not think it is fascist yet. It sure has a lot of issues though.
This may be the Weimar Republic stage of the project, and it's not too late to save it.
I say if you are an eligible voter, you should vote. Given the voter base is small, your vote really counts. Read the candidates' profiles carefully. Make sure that no people associated with or supportive of the US MIC are on your ballot.
So far I count djacu and tomberek as the list of people to not vote for. But make sure to check for yourself, there will be more candidates.
On the contrary, put the people who are explicitly against MIC meddling first in your ballot. Currently they are cafkafk and leona-ya. Put everyone else on your ballot too, to reduce the chance of an MIC-related person getting on. But again, make sure to check candidate's answers before voting.
It is the least you can do and if enough people do it, we might come out with a more antifascist SC. I doubt it will help with any technical issues we're facing, like the lack of Nix maintenance power, but it could save the project from becoming right-wing.

Unknown parent • • •XLibre claiming to be apolitical is hilarious when their readme sounds like it's written by a MAGAt. Never touching that project that's for sure.
Also pretty sure that stuff about the founder is bs, unless you can back that up with a source. From my understanding he ended up stepping down because he was already putting more attention into determinate nix, which was causing friction.
