Flock’s Gunshot Detection Microphones Will Start Listening for Human Voices
Flock Safety, the police technology company most notable for their extensive network of automated license plate readers spread throughout the United States, is rolling out a new and troubling product that may create headaches for the cities that adopt it: detection of “human distress” via audio. As part of their suite of technologies, Flock has been pushing Raven, their version of acoustic gunshot detection. These devices capture sounds in public places and use machine learning to try to identify gunshots and then alert police—but EFF has long warned that they are also high powered microphones parked above densely-populated city streets. Cities now have one more reason to follow the lead of many other municipalities and cancel their Flock contracts, before this new feature causes civil liberties harms to residents and headaches for cities.

Defend Our Juries just told the Met police where to go over postponing this Saturday’s protest
On Thursday 2 October, Defend Our Juries laid out to Met police in no uncertain terms that it would not cancel its long-planned protest this upcoming weekend.
Defend Our Juries defies Met Police hypocrisy
The letter was in response to a communication from assistant commissioner Ade Adelekan to the group earlier this afternoon, asking it to consider postponing the demonstration in the light of the Manchester attacks. However, Defend Our Juries, while condemning the atrocious attack, have stood firm in their determination to oppose Israel’s genocide and the unjust proscription of Palestine Action.
The letter from Adelekan highlighted something egregiously hypocritical about the repressive policing of peaceful protesters more broadly.
In his letter the Assistant Commissioner said:
as you know your previous large-scale protests and other concurrent protests, place a significant pressure on policing and draw officers away from communities they serve to be in central London. This means less neighbourhood and response officers in their communities and less officers focussing on police crimes.Your last three events in central London have required over 2500 to police including dedicated Counter Terrorism officers as a result of the Terrorism offences observed at your previous events.
Police failing to prevent real terrorism as they target peaceful protester
In reply, the group wrote:
First let us say that we utterly condemn the attack on the Jewish community in Manchester today.This is what genuine terrorism looks like and we join with others in condemning it unreservedly.
As we have pointed out in our, sadly unacknowledged and unanswered, letters to Met Commissioner Mark Rowley, it has always been the choice of the Metropolitan Police whether or not to make arrests at our protests. Amnesty International has advised Mark Rowley that these arrests fall foul of international law and our fundamental rights.
As you know we are making two demands of the government: that it reverse the ban on a domestic protest group that poses no risk to the public; and secondly that the government take action in line with its obligations to prevent genocide.
It is unfortunate that the Home Office has not decided to rescind the ban in the wake of the ever-growing defiance and has chosen instead to put an increasing and unnecessary strain on police resources.
It is unfortunate that the Home Office has not decided to rescind the ban in the wake of the ever-growing defiance and has chosen instead to put an increasing and unnecessary strain on police resources. According to your letter, it appears the political oversight in proscribing Palestine Action, which aimed to save lives in Palestine, is taking away from the police protecting the community from those who seek to take lives.
As I’m sure you will understand, the protection of our democracy and the prevention of countless deaths are critical issues. Therefore, our protest will go ahead as planned for this Saturday.
We urge you therefore to choose to prioritise protecting the community, rather than arresting those peacefully holding signs in opposition to the absurd and draconian ban of a domestic direct action group.
We hope you make the right choice to not arrest those taking part, and correctly deploy counter-terrorism resources this weekend.
Please understand that some 1,500 people have given deep consideration to committing to this nonviolent action which, as the Met has repeatedly pointed out, comes with serious risks. We hope you respect our fundamental right to peaceful protest and freedom of expression.

With New U.S. Proposal to End Gaza War, a Rare Moment of Triumph for Netanyahu
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/36992025
archive.ph/nun8LIn President Trump’s plan, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got almost everything he hoped for in the end, despite mounting international isolation.
By David M. Halbfinger and Aaron Boxerman
Sept. 30, 2025
Ultimately, Mr. Netanyahu got almost everything he could have hoped from Mr. Trump’s proposal — a demand that Hamas release the hostages immediately and lay down its weapons, without which Israel would have carte blanche to keep pummeling Gaza.As for Israeli troops, they would get to remain in Gaza’s perimeter for the foreseeable future. There was such a stinting nod to the aspiration of statehood for Palestinians that the proposal all but suggested they just keep dreaming. And the Palestinian Authority would be left playing no role in Gaza anytime soon.
It was a rare moment of triumph that showed Mr. Netanyahu could still get much — if not all — of what he wanted despite Israel’s mounting international isolation. Just last week, several European countries recognized a Palestinian state over Israeli objections, while a diplomatic walkout left Mr. Netanyahu addressing a mostly empty room at the United Nations.

Larry Ellison Vetted Marco Rubio for Fealty to Israel, Hacked Emails Reveal
Everything is coming together for Larry Ellison. The billionaire co-founder of tech giant Oracle, on-and-off-again the richest man in the world and a staunch supporter of Israel, is set to take a lead role in reshaping TikTok in the United States. His son, David Ellison, is moving to take over large swaths of the media, including CBS News, CNN, Warner Brothers, and Paramount, reportedly bringing in the Free Press’s Bari Weiss to shape editorial direction.
As the nation’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also played a role in the TikTok talks that steered the company toward Ellison, after playing a lead role as a senator in demonizing the app; he was also closely involved in the rollout of Trump’s plan for Gaza’s future, which hands the enclave to Blair. Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner tasked the Blair Institute in the spring with coming up with a post-war plan for Gaza, which was recently completed, the Times of Israel reported.
That Rubio finds himself in such a central position is in part thanks to Ellison, who has been a major patron of the Cuban-American former senator from Florida. Ellison first vetted Rubio for his fealty toward Israel back in early 2015, according to previously unreported email correspondence reviewed by Drop Site.

Trump Publishes Enemies List To White House Website, And It’s Just Democrats Speaking The Truth
God, what I wouldn’t give for another Nixon administration. Sure, it was corrupt and built from the ground up to punish the opposing party for being the opposing party. But that administration was limited and restrained by things like competent oversight, a functioning court system that wasn’t constantly undermined by five justices who want to do all of their work on the shadow docket where they’re not obliged to explain their reasoning to the public, and a president who actually knew enough to resign, rather than face impeachment.

Bothsiding ? Oh we're turning it into a verb now are we? OK. Cool.
I have to disagree with that. Not pretending to world is simple and presenting a balanced view of a story is a mature aged responsible thing to do as a news site. Obviously people will disagree but to hide information or distort it is not news. It's dirty propaganda.
We need less of these kinds of site that amplify hate towards others and pretend the world is simpler than it is. No wonder we're so fucked and divided as a country. The exact same thing Farage is doing to right wingers, sites like these are doing to left wingers.
I have easy answers for you. Oh and by the way everyone that disagrees with me is some form of evil.

So in other words become corporate news and support elite class agenda of class divide by doing "fair" reporting that prevents any meaningful reform as a matter of policy. Great idea.
There are facts and then there is perspective. Facts should be presented accurately. Not hiding your perspective in the reporting is not "propoganda". It's more honest reporting since everyone knows where you stand and can decide for themselves how they feel about it.
We need less of these kinds of site that amplify hate towards others and pretend the world is simpler than it is.
Can you source this? I'm not aware of them amplifying hate.

Can’t update from OpenSuse Leap 15.6 to 16 [noob]
I don’t have much of a clue of what I’m doing, but I wanted to update to the new version of OpenSuse. It seems to not be possible, however, due to ‘invalid’ repositories. They are apparently ‘orphaned’, and when I attempt to open them I get web-pages with errors.
I’ve added an image of the console showing information that may be useful... Sorry for it being in Dutch, I tried to set the language to English, but it seems to only change the UI texts.
The error message after ‘dist-upgrade’ reads ‘Because of the treatment of orphaned packages, the dist-upgrade depends on the correct setup of repositories [I think] more than any other command. It shouldn’t continue if the enabled repositories don’t want to refresh. This could seriously damage the system. If a non-refreshed repository isn’t really necessary, it should be disabled. See “man zypper” for more information on this command.’
... Hmm. How do I determine if a non-functioning repository (which I suppose the items in orange are) is ‘really necessary’?

About three-quarters of Americans support the release of all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll finds.
Another 13% want some of the Epstein files released, while only 9% don’t want any documents released.
Once newly elected Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., is sworn in, she is expected to sign on to a House effort to make the files public. Grijalva, the daughter of late Rep. Raúl Grijalva, would provide the critical 218th signature to force a vote over the majority threshold. But House Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed swearing in the new lawmaker, saying it would not happen until regular session resumes next week, a move that Grijalva sees as intentional in order to push off the Epstein petition.

Sheinbaum Demands israel Release Global Sumud Flotilla Mexicans
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/70634
This article originally appeared in the October 2, 2025 edition of Sin Embargo.Mexico City. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo demanded this Thursday morning that Israel immediately release the six Mexicans traveling on the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was intercepted yesterday by Israeli forces while en route to the Gaza Strip to deliver humanitarian aid.
“Humanitarian aid must reach Gaza , and our Mexican brothers and sisters, all of them, but especially our fellow Mexicans, must be repatriated immediately because they did not commit any crime,” the President said during her morning press conference.
Sheinbaum Pardo announced that Mexico has sent four diplomatic notes to Israel in recent days. The first, she explained, “to request physical guarantees for our fellow citizens.”
“The second was the day before yesterday, also in case they were, ahead of us, to request if they were going to be intercepted, and for what reason. The third time was yesterday, when we learned they had been intercepted, to demand the physical and comprehensive safety of our fellow citizens,” she explained.

How liberalism has given rise to fascist states.
cross-posted from: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/54678688
Liberalism arises historically with the bourgeoisie, promising universal rights, free markets, and political representation.Its core contradiction: it proclaims universal freedom but maintains private property, class hierarchies, and colonial domination.
Its “progressive” content (rights etc) is always mediated by its “reactionary” content (capital accumulation, imperialism).
In the late 20th century, liberal politics shifted focus from material redistribution to recognition and representation of identities (race, gender, sexuality).
This has real emancipatory elements (civil rights, anti-discrimination), but within a liberal framework it tends to:
Fragment the working class into competing identity groups.
Leave capitalist property relations untouched.
Turn politics into a symbolic arena of inclusion/exclusion rather than redistribution.
This becomes what some call “neoliberal multiculturalism”.
The Alienation of the Proletariat:
Workers whose economic position deteriorates under neoliberal globalization see elites championing diversity while offshoring jobs and cutting welfare.
They perceive “liberal elites” as hypocritical or hostile — not because they oppose equality per se, but because the equality on offer seems to bypass their economic suffering.
This creates fertile ground for reactionary movements that reframe their economic grievances as cultural ones.
The Dialectic: Liberalism to Fascism
If we think dialectically:
Thesis (Liberalism): Universal rights, formal equality, market freedom.
Antithesis (Proletarian Alienation): Mass discontent over the gap between formal equality and real inequality.
Synthesis (Fascism): A counter-movement that rejects universalism but mobilizes identity (national, racial, religious) to restore a sense of collective belonging and purpose.
Fascism thus does not arise ex nihilo; it is the reaction to liberal contradictions:
Liberalism’s fragmentation of solidarity enables fascism’s call for a unified, “authentic” national identity.
Liberal elites’ cosmopolitanism enables fascism’s anti-globalist populism.
Liberal tolerance of corporate power enables fascism’s authoritarian alliance with capital.
Fascism is hence the “Degenerate Offspring” of Liberalism
You can theorize fascism here as:
Not simply a negation but a mutation of liberal politics: it retains mass politics, identity focus, and even some welfare-state promises — but only for the “in-group.”
A perverse form of “recognition politics” where instead of expanding recognition, it contracts it violently.
The endpoint of liberalism’s failure to resolve class contradiction: when equality cannot be achieved materially, it is abandoned and replaced with exclusionary hierarchy.
This would mirror Marx’s notion that each stage of history contains the seeds of its own negation.
This theory does not mean liberal politics intends fascism. Just that its contradictions enable fascism.
Overcoming fascism requires not just defending liberal norms, since the radical aspects of it which have been valuable are being attacked, but transcending liberalism’s economic foundations — i.e., re-centering class and material redistribution.
Now I’m no Hegelian, my understanding of Hegel and Marx is fairly limited. But this is the best I could do put forth the reasoning for fascism and where to move forward.
This is also not US centric, I am not american and am seeing fascism and surveillance states rise around the world. While fascism used to be a fear of ‘the other’ as an outsider, we’re seeing a world where fascism uses citizens as ‘the other’ now.
I would love to go more in depth here. I would like to incorporate naom Chomsky’s idea of manufacturing consent to show how the alienation is created.
In a genuinely Hegelian sense, capitalism contains the seeds of its own transcendence. But contrary to Marx, this transcendence is not socialist.
Through ideological domination the working class is stripped of its revolutionary potential. The only remaining agent capable of resolving capitalism’s crises is the capitalist class itself.
This class resolves contradictions not by abolishing capital but by restructuring the state around authoritarian and nationalist principles.
Thus the dialectic moves from capitalism to fascism, not because of proletarian liberation, but because of capital’s own drive for self-preservation.
The Internet We Didn’t Get
Collective human consciousness is full of imagined or mythical dream-like utopias, hidden away behind mountains, across or under oceans, hidden in mist, or deep in the jungle. From Atlantis, Avalon, El Dorado, and Shangri-La, we have not stopped imagining these secret, fantastical places. One of these, Xanadu, is actually a real place but has been embellished over the years into a place of legend and myth, and thus became the namesake of an Internet we never got to see like all of those other mystical, hidden places.
The Xanadu project got its start in the 1960s at around the same time the mouse and what we might recognize as a modern computer user interface were created. At its core was hypertext with the ability to link not just other pages but references and files together into one network. It also had version control, rights management, bi-directional links, and a number of additional features that would be revolutionary even today. Another core feature was transclusion, a method for making sure that original authors were compensated when their work was linked. However, Xanadu was hampered by a number of issues including lack of funding, infighting among the project’s contributors, and the development of an almost cult-like devotion to the vision, not unlike some of today’s hype around generative AI. Surprisingly, despite these faults, the project received significant funding from Autodesk, but even with this support the project ultimately failed.
Instead of this robust, bi-directional web imagined as early as the 1960s, the Internet we know of today is the much simpler World Wide Web which has many features of Xanadu we recognize. Not only is it less complex to implement, it famously received institutional backing from CERN immediately rather than stagnating for decades. The article linked above contains a tremendous amount of detail around this story that’s worth checking out. For all its faults and lack of success, though, Xanadu is a interesting image of what the future of the past could have been like if just a few things had shaken out differently, and it will instead remain a mythical place like so many others.

Satellite images reveal new UAE bases circling Gulf of Aden
From the islands of Socotra in the Indian Ocean to the coasts of Somalia and Yemen, satellite imagery analysed by Middle East Eye reveals a greatly expanded network of military and intelligence bases built by the United Arab Emirates.
The UAE’s allies, including Israel and the US, have been party to the creation and expansion of the bases.
Israeli officers have been on the ground in the islands and Israeli radar systems and other military and security apparatus allow the UAE to monitor and thwart attacks launched by the Houthis, the Iran-aligned movement that has fired missiles at Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians and targeted ships going through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Flotilla turca e navi civili siciliane insieme per sfidare il blocco navale su Gaza: parte da Arsuz una nuova missione
Dopo l’abbordaggio della Global Sumud Flotilla, la mobilitazione dal mare riparte. Una flotilla turca salpa da Arsuz (provincia di Hatay) con 45 imbarcazioni civili dirette verso la Striscia di Gaza e si coordina idealmente con le imbarcazioni siciliane impegnate a sostenere l’invio di aiuti e a contestare il blocco navale imposto da Israele. L’iniziativa, promossa da realtà della società civile turca, rilancia l’appello alla solidarietà internazionale e al rispetto del diritto umanitario.

All fields expanded, very long screenshot: imgur.com/a/steam-hardware-sof…
Note, the source will change every month. That's why I made a screenshot, so the discussion in this thread makes sense in the future. Source: store.steampowered.com/hwsurve…
Linux Mint 22.2 64 bit got +3.34% from previously 0%, while Linux Mint 22.1 64 bit lost -2.71%. So the rest of the 0.65% are either new users or upgraders from even older Linux Mint versions. Whatever the reason is, these two entries should have been a single one as Linux Mint 22 with 8.84%.
Also what is the category "Other"? It's almost 20% big, so this is not something to wave over. Bazzite got a good start, hopefully it will grow further. I'm surprised that CachyOS is this popular, much more than Ubuntu and Bazzite.

I'll probably try to transfer my Windows license (not install) to my old horrible laptop, since dual-booting seems like it'd cause more trouble than it's worth. Just gotta clear the nvram in case there are any BIOS rootkits lying in wait that I imagine I have by now. I'm already on Linux for the laptop I'm writing this on.
EDIT: I'm not gonna flush my NVRAM. Seems that if I've seen no signs of malware then I regressing to the factory version of the BIOS would put me in more risk than otherwise.
As soon as that changes windows will be gone
That's weird, because it's "just" streaming after all (with input off course). How can Nvidia mess this up? I couldn't believe this and searched the web, found following: github.com/AstralVixen/GeForce…
This started as an alternative, for the lack of support on Linux. And it supports 1440p & 120 FPS. They explicitly warn not to use native GeForce Now app. I can't say how trustful this project is. Now I have no experience with this, so leave it there.

Lutris - Open Gaming Platform
Play all your games on Linux. Lutris is an Open Source gaming platform for Linux. It installs and launches games so you can start playing without the hassle of setting up your game. Get your games from GOG, Steam, Battle.lutris.net
The official itch.io launcher also works just fine on Linux:
flathub.org/en/apps/io.itch.it…
DayZ runs out of the box on Steam as well.
Download App
itch, the best way to download and play indie games. Download free games and manage your library from your desktop. Now available for Windows, macOS and Linux.itch.io
I just don't want to manually set up Lutris. I'll keep Itch around for native Linux games (which I forgot about). Actually, I think I just don't want to bother reinstalling any of the games I have. Though my 10 day deadline is close.
As for DayZ, I don't want to risk playing any competitive games on Linux and getting myself a spurious VAC ban, so after DayZ I'm planning on giving up on competitive multiplayer (which I never really like anyway because kernel-level anti-cheat doesn't work and I can't trust anyone not to be cheating).
You don't need Lutris, the itch.io launcher takes care of everything.

You only get game bans in DayZ. For what it's worth, I have been playing DayZ on Linux on and off for years and never got banned.
I distro-hopped from Bazzite to CachyOS recently, and frankly - I'm not surprised it's up there in terms of popularity. While Bazzite was much less obtrusive with updates (hell, I had to check whether I was getting amy 😆), CachyOS makes due with a lot less resources (Bazzite's 6 vs Cachy's 3.5GBs of RAM on stand-by, don't remember the installation size, tbh) than Bazzite.
It also has a relatively sensible default when it comes to updates, as it automatically performs BTRFS snapshots through snapper, Tumbleweed-style.
Time will tell if it's as stable as Bazzite was (though frankly, I distro-hopped because 3 or 4 straight updates were not booting for me 😅).
Tl;dr: Arch base + sensible defaults make for good selling points on gaming rigs.
