There's no real article. They published the picture on their respective instagram pages so what I posted is basically what they announced,.
Here's more context though newarab.com/news/childrens-sta…
What language/culture/origin is your name from? Do you like your name or names from that culture? Have you ever met someone with a same name (either the given or family name)?
(Don't share your real name, obviously)
Okay so, wall of text warning:
My legal name is a Chinese name, three characters.
Family name (one character) is said/written first, then the given name (two characters for me... and I assume for most people).
Its a very interesting name, and overall naming system, each character has meaning, well other than the family name which I don't think it really means anything.
My older brother's first character is the same as mine, only the second character is different. (It's [Family Name] + [Character A] + [Character B], Character A is the same.)
I have never met anyone with my exact name, well to be fair, being in the US made those odds even rarer. I did meet someone with the same family name in a US school, and they also had the same DoB as me, which was very weird coincidence.
But my name is so rare in the US, if it ever got leaked, that's practically a unique identifier.
When I look at my name, idk I kinda feel a sense of antiquity. I have a genology book and the pages are falling apart, I had to scan it and made a .pdf from it. I mean those names are from hundred of years ago, I guess they had to keep remaking/rewriting those books because I doubt something from pre-1800s would've survived till now. It makes modern tech feel so futuristic when I think about it, I mean, that geneology book could potentially live om forever, without any deterioation unlike a book.
But simultaneously, when I look at my name, it kinda reminds me of my parent's emotional abusive and neglectful behaviors. Ugh, idk, feels so conflicted about it. I really wanna ask questions about the past, but we aren't really on speaking-terms anymore.
When people ask my name, it's always just so awkward, since... the pronounciation is totally foreign to them. I kinda wanted to choose an English name for simplicity here in the US, but like... I didn't pick one when I was younger and I think its kinda too late to use one now. Idk what name to even choose.

One of the best parts of Cyberpunk (as a theme) is the ubiquitisation of cultures
I'm talking about how pockets and islands of cultures pop up everywhere within these settings, how Cyberpunk as a whole does away with national borders and lets everyone from everywhere and anywhere suffer equally.
And we've kinda' missed the mark on that, as now culture is instead becoming eclectic. We don't have pockets of cultures, we are steadily pushing toward having a single culture, a mass of haphazard associations and little comprehension of meaning.
FRYD likes this.
I don’t think we’re heading towards a monoculture. Actually much like Cyberpunk, you’ll find the most striking pockets of unique cultures in small spaces relevant to whatever group is there. Go to a skatepark and you’ll think the people there are talking another language. Go to a concert or rave and you’ll see all kinds of different subcultures and fashion styles depending on what kind of music is playing. Even here on Lemmy you see different cliques and subcultures. There are astrology conferences and Beyblade tournaments and everything in between. Theres also always little pockets of ethnic groups, foreign to where they are, all over the world. I love finding different groups and the things they orbit around and the lingo they develop and the ideas and values they have. They’re not as easy to find as they are in a video game, but they’re out there and it’s a much more rich experience to get to know those people than in a video game.
I can’t describe it well because I’m not an anthropologist, but the changes in the larger zeitgeist over the years I’ve been around seems to be pretty normal too. I don’t think there’ll ever be some kind of monoculture, just that what makes groups different will naturally change over time.

Jeffrey Epstein Helped Broker Israeli Security Agreement
Jeffrey Epstein used his political network and financial resources to help broker a security cooperation agreement between the governments of Israel and Mongolia, according to a trove of leaked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. This new set of emails between Barak and Epstein has largely been ignored by the mainstream press, but includes crucial new context on Epstein’s operation.
It’s well known that Epstein had personal ties to Israel, including to senior political officials like Barak and Ehud Olmert, and that he donated to organizations like Friends of the IDF. But Epstein’s activities in Mongolia show, for the first time, that he facilitated a deal that led to a security agreement between Israel and other nations.
The leaked emails were released by Handala, a pro-Palestinian hacking group with speculated ties to Iran.

BSD-related communities
Linux gets a lot of love there on Fedi, so I think it would be cool if BSD would get some of it too.
For those unaware it's a Unix-like operation system, one of they key differences from Linux is a more permissive license, so PlayStation 4 or MacOS are originally based on it.
There's a list of existing communities:
- !bsd@lemmy.sdf.org (Semi-Active)
- !bsd@programming.dev
- !freebsd@blendit.bsd.cafe
- !freebsd@lemmy.world
- !netbsd@blendit.bsd.cafe
- !netbsd@lemmy.sdf.org
- !openbsd@blendit.bsd.cafe
- !OpenBSD@fedia.io
- !openbsd@lemmy.sdf.org (Semi-Active)
Apparently, there's also a Lemmy instance dedicated to BSD — blendit.bsd.cafe/
Note: No .ml communities, as my instance is defederated from them.

Over Linux I assume?
It has some unique stuff, like ZFC completely integrated. There's monolithic approach, Linux is just a kernel with a lot of distros, while with bsd kernel, userland and utilities are developed together. Some people say that is also more simple and logical than Linux. In my opinion both are good, it just depends on your use case.
Also most of ppl who use BSD use Linux too from my experience.

Koalicija organizacij in neformalnih skupin vabi na novinarsko konferenco v okviru kampanje Konec10 (EndOf10), ki bo potekala v torek, 7. oktobra 2055, ob 11.55 Knjižnici Otona Zupančiča.
Mednarodna kampanja EndOf10 se je sprožila v odgovor na napoved korporacije Microsoft, da prekine podporo za operacijski sistem Windows 10. Med 200 in 400 miljonov računalnikov po svetu ne podpira nadgradnje na Windows 11, kar pomeni, da bodo postali bodisi elektronske smeti bodisi varnostno tveganje za uporabnike.
Številne organizacije in skupine v Sloveniji smo se zato pridružile kampanji, da javnosti sporočimo, da obstaja druga pot nadgradnje računalnika, ki deluje hitro, učinkovito in varno tudi na starejših računalnikih. Gre za družino odprtokodnih operacijskih sistemov Linux.
Na novinarski konferenci bomo bolj podrobno predstavili razloge, zakaj smo se pridružili kampanji EndOf10, prednosti odprtokodnih operacijskih sistemov in naše aktivnosti v okviru kampanje. Več o kampanji lahko preberete uradni spletni strani kampanje endof10.org.

U.K. Jewish institutions say they back two-states – so why aren't they commending Starmer?
Virtually every British Jewish community representative organization claims to support a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians.
There is also cross-party consensus in the British parliament that this is the most viable solution. Yesterday, the British government finally took a step towards making this policy a reality by recognizing a Palestinian state, with clear conditions that ensure Israel's security, including the disarmament of Hamas and working to free the hostages the group still holds in Gaza.
So, on paper, the U.K.'s announcement should be welcomed by all those who claim to support a two-state solution, including the mainstream British Jewish community. And yet instead, it's been met at worst with criticism and condemnations, and at best with silence, perhaps out of fear of being ostracized.
Surely, this Israeli government, one that threatens to occupy and remove Palestinians from Gaza, and one that has already killed tens of thousands and starved hundreds of thousands, isn't reflective of our community and its values. So where is our British Jewish leadership, coming forward to commend Prime Minister Starmer for taking the step we all know is right?

Here’s the full text of Trump’s 20-point plan to end Israel’s war on Gaza
- Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.
...
- Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarisation of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy-back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbours.

Is it me or this plan is just unhinged? Not just politically bad, or imbalanced, or whatever. But actually fantastical, not meant for implementation. In fact I can't think of anyone who'd accept it, not the zionists either. It seems headline-driven policy. It's just intended to make noise.

Hundreds of young Moroccans took to the streets of at least 11 cities across the North African nation, denouncing corruption and blasting the government for pouring money into international sporting events while neglecting health and education.
They drew a direct link between the country’s struggling health care system and its investments in the lead-up to the 2030 FIFA World Cup, shouting slogans including, “Stadiums are here, but where are the hospitals?”

Hey there! i currently have a Samsung Galaxy A55 and i want to try one of the privacy focused phones. But idk which is the best i could try.
My findings:
- Fairphone with /e/OS, but ive heard /e/OS is apparantly not that secure.
- Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, but with this one I still need to buy from Google.
- Linux phones, but I'm concerend they dont support all the apps i want to use.
that being said, can you use MicroG instead of Google Services for ALL apps? or does it only work for things like Revanced?

I have literally zero experience with creating audio, but I want to try something new for me.
I know most people who are "properly" into music production are just using a Mac, because it just works and where a lot of the software is available.
Thing is, I have zero expectations.
I don't need a lot of features, plug-ins, and whatever. Most stuff will probably just be fine for me.
Heck, I don't even know what I need in the first place to get a full "stack" of audio production software.
For the start, I'd prefer something simple.
Mostly just something where I can arrange a few recorded audio tracks onto each other and maybe edit them a bit.
Something where I can record the tracks with my microphone (and some time later maybe an input device like a piano keyboard, e-guitar, etc.) and listen them at the same time, preferably in the same program.
What are your experiences with making music on Linux?
What software would you recommend?

And there it is, an oppressive weapon camouflaged as a nicely packaged present. What I seem to realise is our "dependancy" on the governments perspective - it's like they already speak the ultimate truth, testing the limits of what is democracy.
Is it really right to be weaponising children and minors into essentially constructing a totalitarian regime? Because, in my perspective they are using our young people as human shields to justify their hideous acts against humanity.
It is best not to forget who's the actual enemy. Because, in the future no one will be safe - no matter the age.
Pidgin 3.0 Experimental 4 (2.93.0) has been released!
We are ecstatic to announce that we have released the fourth experimental version of Pidgin 3.0!!! This is a pre alpha release with an official version number of 2.93.0. We will continue releasing in this fashion until we are ready for 3.0.0 which will be the release we consider ready for end users.
The release can be found on SourceForge and should show up on Flathub Beta shortly.
If you don’t want to use the Flathub Beta method, there are build instructions in the README for building a flatpak locally or installing into a meson devenv. Both methods avoid installing directly to your OS installation which is the preferred method as there is no easy way to uninstall.
About
Just like the previous experimental releases, this is a timed release. It is a snapshot of what we currently have and is something we think other tinkerers and developers may want to start playing with, but again, it is not meant for end users.
Most things are not implemented, the user interface has not been polished at all, and there are so so many bugs. As such we are asking that packagers please do not package this for your users yet as the potential support requests will be too much for us to handle at this time.
There's a number of things that unfortunately went unfinished for this release so you may notice more bugs than previous experimental releases. But like usual, there's still been plenty of progress for everyone to check out!
Looking forward, Experimental 5 is scheduled for 2025-12-31 and will have a version number of 2.94.0.
We have a bunch of tickets entered for Experimental 5, and you can keep an eye on the Burndown Chart for Experimental 5 to stay informed. As always, priorities and possibilities can and will change, so even if something is listed for this release that doesn’t mean it will be in the release until it’s actually completed.
If you would like monthly updates, be sure to check out the #state-of-the-bird posts!
Highlights
We have a bunch of highlights this release, but some are hard to show in text, but we'll do our best!
Developer Migration Guide
We have started the huge task of describing how to migrate code from Purple 2 to Purple 3. That document is available at docs.imfreedom.org/purple3/migrating.html.
This is for migration only. We're still looking at doing some sort of compatibility layer, but we don't want to put a lot of time into that until we're much more confident in the APIs not changing. We are also looking to do an architecture document as well that will explain some of the finer details of the APIs.
Backends
Many of our data sources need to be persisted when the program isn't running. We've done this a number of ways over the years, but in this release we have created a new pattern of using backends to abstract this out.
For example, a user interface can tell Purple.ConversationManager to not persist conversations or to persist them in a SQLite database using Purple.ConversationManagerSeagullBackend. Many more of these will be popping up in the future for the other managers.
Conversation Persistence
As mentioned above Purple now keeps track of your open conversations assuming the conversation manager was told to use a backend that persists data which Pidgin does by default.
This means you no longer have to add a channel to your contact list and tell it to auto join, it will just automatically happen for all conversations (dms, group dms, channel, etc) that were still open when you closed the program which matches the behavior of many modern clients.
New Application Icon
The one and only Hykle Bons has come out of retirement to create a new application icon for Pidgin 3 which you can see below. If you have any comments regarding it, there is a post for that over here.
Color Scheme Preference
You can finally chose to have Pidgin follow the system theme or force it into light or dark mode!
