Ex-Ilva di Cornigliano. Quale futuro?
Sulla newsletter L'Unica Genova (vedi link sottostante) un approfondimento sul future della acciaieria Ex-Ilva di Genova-Cornigliano.
Lo stabilimento dell’ex Ilva di Genova si estende su un milione di metri quadrati tra il mare e il quartiere di Cornigliano. È il secondo più importante in Italia dopo quello di Taranto, ed è il principale punto di collegamento con gli altri impianti dell’azienda in Piemonte, come quello di Novi Ligure. A Genova, al momento, viene prodotta la banda stagnata, ovvero la latta per usi alimentari. Non a sufficienza, però: Genova ne produce centomila tonnellate all’anno, ma il Paese ne consuma 800 mila. A Genova si producono anche la banda cromata e quella zincata. Il forno elettrico del futuro, in ogni caso, dovrebbe servire non solo per la lavorazione dell’acciaio – che oggi viene spedito dallo stabilimento di Taranto – ma anche per la sua produzione. Con l’obiettivo di tutelare l’occupazione: a Cornigliano i lavoratori sono 1.200 e il piano prevede altri 700 posti di lavoro.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis
“In line with the terms of the deal, Hamas will release all remaining Israeli hostages, and Israel will still murder innocent Palestinian civilians on a regular basis, but at a slightly slower pace than we have been of late,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ratifying the accord that would temporarily promote the systematic discrimination, dehumanization, and persecution of the Palestinian people over their outright genocide.
“Once the hostages are freed, we will dial down the attacks on Gaza hospitals, schools, and aid centers by roughly 10%, give or take. I have had my staff lay out a less rigorous schedule for committing atrocities, and in the down time, the IDF can always fall back on horrific maiming practices and general torture.
It was a major concession on my part, but I have been convinced that it’s the only way to get our people home safe, and for Israel to continue committing human rights violations without consequence.” Netanyahu assured the rest of the world it would soon go back to never hearing about the routine slaughter of the Palestinian people, as opposed to barely hearing about it.

The article leaves out critical context and is biased by not wording things as they are.
Here's a fairer view.
The alleged pause to the Gaza genocide - with the prospect of forcing Palestine to give up armed independence - has prompted celebrations in Israel. Their settlers anticipate that about 48 imperialist colonists will soon be released after 170,000 innocent men, women, and children have died. Yet, discontent is rumbling among the powerful Israeli fascists, with a regime minister, Bezalel Smotrich, attempting to rile up for more murder.The Israeli religious fascists, most prominently represented by Smotrich and Itamar, have tried for over two years to cheer for total annihilation of the Palestinian people, bringing Israeli colonies with them into the native soil of the Palestinian labourers. They repeatedly have refused to foster peace, instead focusing on endless war.
Neither appear supportive of the deal, although one took credit for releasing hostages, despite not being involved to any extent but to be a war criminal. The international community condemns their actions and hatred.
Samantha Power secretly colluded with Israel to enhance UN role, leaked emails show
Power is a ghoul. Three women, loads of lies and the destruction of Libya
Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power were the three principal advocates of war against Libya in 2011, setting the North African nation on a free fall ever since. Demonstrations broke out in some Libyan cities against the government of late Muammar Gaddafi in February 2011, in what became known as the “Arab Spring” that engulfed the region. However, Libya’s promised spring turned into a destructive autumn during which Gaddafi was murdered on 20 October, 2011, and Libya was left anguishing in lawlessness, courtesy of the three women.In marketing the war within the ranks of the Obama administration, Power played the history card to create fear of failure and inaction by President Obama. She exaggerated events in Libya, even comparing it to the Rwandan genocide of 1994, in which nearly one million people were killed. Invoking the Rwandan experience was designed to provoke the strongest reaction by Obama, a Democrat himself, as was Bill Clinton under whose watch the Rwandan mass killing unfolded. The world later discovered that the Clinton administration knew what was going on in Rwanda, but chose to ignore it. Apparently, Power, by comparing Libya to Rwanda, wanted to warn President Obama not to ignore Libya and be accused of lying, which he did anyway in the Libyan case.
Obama, five years later in a 2016 interview, admitted that intervening in Libya was his “worst” mistake, blaming British and French leaders instead of his own advisors. None of the three advisors has ever been held accountable to answer serious questions about the Libyan fiasco. Instead, Power later served as US ambassador to the UN before joining one of the US’ top universities – Harvard, no less. Rice is a researcher at the American University in Washington, while Clinton went on to run for president, losing to Donald Trump in 2016.

Any way to defeat HDCP for Chromecast recording?
I have my Linux box running my TV and it works great, but I'd like the ability to treat my Chromecast as a desktop window for streaming without switching inputs, multitasking etc. I have an HDMI capture card that works great with a Switch, but the Chromecast detects it's not HDCP (DRM) compliant so it won't work. Is there a way to outsmart that detection with software or hardware?
I've heard some knock off hardware confuses it enough to work but it seems like the info is old and I'd rather not roll the dice on hardware that's otherwise garbage...
like this
You kinda have to play the lottery with the HDMI cards; some of the can strip it, some of them can't. And it looks like some of them strip it and get detected.
They can't advertise that as a feature either, so it's a bit of a crapshoot. It may be worth finding the latest reddit post about it to see if anyone has a specific model that was working in the past year.

For Linux gaming (including DX12), is there a strong reason to choose NVIDIA over AMD?
I have this question. I see people, with some frequency, sugar coating the Nvidia GPU marriage with Linux. I get that if you already have a Nvidia GPU or you need CUDA or work with AI and want to use Linux that is possible. Nevertheless, this still a very questionable relationship.
Shouldn’t we be raising awareness about in case one plan to game titles that uses DX12? I mean 15% to 30% performance loss using Nvidia compared to Windows, over 5% to 15% and some times same performance or better using AMD isn't something to be alerting others?
I know we wanna get more people on Linux, and NVIDIA’s getting better, but don’t we need some real talk about this? Or is there some secret plan to scare people away from Linux that I missed?
Am I misinformed? Is there some strong reason to buy a Nvidia GPU if your focus is gaming in Linux?
Edit: I'm adding some links with the issue in question because I see some comments talking about Nvidia to be working flawless:
forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/…
reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comm…
Please let me know if this is already fixed on Nvidia GPUs for gaming in Linux.
DirectX12 performance is terrible on Linux
DirectX 12 games ran through Proton/Wine on Linux perform so much worse compared to Windows. This can’t be just the overhead from the translation as AMD GPUs perform just fine, but I think it’s due to a lack of proper driver optimizations.NVIDIA Developer Forums

Two pretty massive facts for anybody trying to answer this question:
- Since driver version 555, explicit sync has been supported. This makes a massive difference to the experience on Wayland. Most of the problems people report are for drivers earlier than this (eg. black screens and flicker).
- Since driver version 580, NVIDIA uses Open Source modules to interact with the kernel. These are not Open Source drivers. They are the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA that should now “just work” across kernel upgrades (like AMD has forever). This solves perhaps the biggest hassle of dealing with NVIDIA on Linux.
Whether you get to enjoy these significant improvements depends on how long it takes stuff to make it to your distribution. If you are on Arch, you have this stuff today. If you are on Debian, you are still waiting (even on Debian 13).
This is not an endorsement of either distro. They are simply examples of the two extremes regarding how current the software versions are in those distros. Most other distros fall somewhere in the middle.
All this stuff will make it to all Linux users eventually. They are solved problems. Just not solved for everyone.
Are you sure that the DX12 performance loss is already addressed on Nvidia GPUs? Do you have a source?

US to deploy 200 troops to Israel for Gaza task force, no operations in Gaza [Steve Holland, Phil Stewart and Ismail Shakil | October 9, 2025 | reuters.com]
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/37137415
"The United States will deploy up to 200 troops to Israel to establish a task force to support stabilization efforts in Gaza, but no Americans are expected to be deployed into the Palestinian enclave, U.S. officials said on Thursday.The U.S. military's Central Command will stand up the task force, known as the Civil-Military Coordination Center, or CMCC, one of the officials said.
The CMCC's job will be to facilitate the flow of assistance into Gaza, including security assistance and humanitarian aid, officials said.'"

Gaza: Digital Colonialism & Resistance with Omar Zahzah [🎧 60 min]
The Palestinian liberation struggle is a fundamental class and anti-colonial issue. First-time guest to the podcast, Professor Omar Zahzah, talks with Steve about the active collaboration of Silicon Valley tech giants with the US and Israeli governments to censor and suppress anti-Zionist narratives.“What these companies are doing is digitally amplifying a physical process of settler colonial dispossession.”
Omar goes beyond labeling digital censorship as simple political bias. He argues that Silicon Valley’s actions are a direct extension of imperialist goals in Palestine: the erasure of a people, their narrative, and their history. Big Tech is not a referee – not even a biased one. It is an active combatant.
Omar provides a sharp critique of how the language of safety and anti-racism is co-opted and weaponized. Online platforms use terms like “harassment” and “hate speech” to silence criticism.
In their discussion, Omar and Steve apply Antonio Gramsci’s theory of cultural hegemony to the digital sphere. They analyze how Big Tech platforms shape our “common sense,” not just through outright censorship, but through algorithmic curation, shadow-banning, and overwhelming activists with trolls and bots, waging a “digital war of attrition” that drains energy and shifts perceptions. They also suggest the potential TikTok ban is not just a US-China trade issue but a symptom of a crisis of hegemony.
Omar Zahzah is a writer, poet, organizer of Lebanese Palestinian descent, and Assistant Professor of Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas (AMED) Studies at San Francisco State University. Omar has covered digital repression in relation to Palestine as a freelance journalist since May 2021, with work appearing in such outlets as Al Jazeera, Middle East Eye, Electronic Intifada, Mondoweiss, CounterPunch, and more. Omar holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from UCLA.
His recently published book is Terms of Servitude: Zionism, Silicon Valley, and Digital Settler Colonialism in the Palestinian Liberation Struggle

Is there a community dedicated to anime where sexualization of characters is minimum and strictly no sexualization of minors (or minor looking "adults")?
I'm a casual anime fan, my main references being Ghibli, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bepop etc, in general, I like good art and good scenario.
So I want to follow discussions about this type of anime.
However, I am very uncomfortable at the countless anime that sexualize minors (and minor looking supposedly adults) or over sexualized women.
Is there a community for this interest?
I am too much of a casual to animate such community myself.

NSPM-7, the spying executive order you've never heard of
NSPM-7 is fundamentally a law enforcement directive, and it dispenses with the complications of using the active duty military or the National Guard in pursuit of political violence. It directs the Department of Justice to focus the FBI’s approximately 200 Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) to the new mission. The FBI network of task forces comprises over 4,000 members—including FBI personnel and task force officers (or TFOs) from more than 500 state and local agencies and 50 federal agencies, including special agents, police officers, intelligence analysts and surveillance technicians. First established in New York City in 1980 to systematize FBI and NYPD cooperation, today there are task forces around the country, including at least one in each of the FBI’s 55 field offices.“The Attorney General shall issue specific guidance that ensures domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder,” NSPM-7 says.

Hamas and Israel prepare to implement ceasefire as Netanyahu says deal approved by government

In Gaza, there was joy but much anxiety. Many expressed the fear that the new deal would collapse, bringing more suffering to the devastated territory. Though crowds gathered in some places to dance and sing, in many places witnesses reported muted reaction amid loud overflights by warplanes and drones.In Israel, on a day of fast-moving and sometimes chaotic developments, hospitals readied to receive hostages to be released by Hamas, the ruling coalition government signed off on the new ceasefire deal and thousands took to the streets of Tel Aviv to express joy and relief.
Late on Thursday evening, a statement from the government said it had “just approved the framework for the release of all the hostages – both the living and the deceased”.

in reply to Echo Dot • • •No, this is completely different. Incognito mode deletes all browsing data (locally) once the window closes.
This allows you to say, be logged into Facebook on one profile, logged into Google on a different profile, and logged into your daily browsing in a third profile. Or you can have multiple logged in YouTube sessions in case you're a content creator, you can have a profile for each of your channels.
This way the cookies for each aren't intermixed, and it would make it (slightly) harder to correlate browsing habits from embedded cookies or logged in sessions, or just to keep tabs and browsing history separate.

in reply to ardi60 • • •Yay, a 25 year old feature with a new UI design.
I'm using FF as my daily driver, but I feel my hatred for Mozilla soon reaches the level of my hatred for Google.
I do wonder (just in my head, there's no hint to that in the public) if all that money Google pays to Mozilla somewhere has a no-competition clause which says FF must stay more shitty than Chrome.
I'm not consciously of one Innovation out of Mozilla that made FF a better browser, and a lot of interesting stuff has been canceled.
It's still an OK browser, but it is like it was 15 years ago. While I watch colleagues using chrome reskins which have great tab management (amazing when you use Jira). Only now that we have LLMs people turn browsers into agents - why the fuck is there no cross - request scripting (go to google, search for this, click on 2nd result...). Yeah we have developer tools like puppeteer for that, but having - say python or js to do so would make people use it more frequently.
Browser history. Ah damn, a day ago I saw a page that explained how to do xx with yy while considering zz. How great some decent browse history would be. (And yes, FF, keep it all, but only when I'm at weirdkinkyporn.com/, please just store it for a few hours). A single keyword for history search IS NOT ENOUGH. I need to isolate things by adding a number of things, because if I knew the word I'm searching for, I'd just google it anyways.
Yeah, so much more things you could do (and the above ideas are just half - baked thoughts).
But Mozilla needa tha sweeet CEO payments. There's no money for experimental stuff.
About a month ago, I ranted about that with a few friends, afterwards I rage-contributed to the Servo project.
I just wish Google would cut off that Mozilla money, I really believe that would improve competition.
That no-compete agreement is a product of my imagination, but things really feel like that.
Fuck Mozilla.

For non technical users who need separation, profiles are a standard known framework.

in reply to SuperUserDO • • •My non technical spouse prefers profile to separate work and personal. She uses different themes for each profile so it is very obvious which is which.
Also one of the extensions she likes interferes with a work site she is required to use. She has that extension installed in the personal profile but not work profile.

Crazy all the useless nonsense Mozilla has room for, since they helped kill RSS by dropping browser UI support for it for "simplification". It was the same rationale for removing live bookmarks and Shift+Enter to add .net to an address and Ctrl+Shift+Enter for .org.

in reply to Mr. Satan • • •I can let my kids play on my computer without them screwing up my personal browser history or getting into any of my accounts without having to teach them how to use yet another extension.
Vivaldi has a great example of profile management where I can literally create a desktop shortcut for each person that uses my computer, complete with their name, and it's their own separate internet profile.
Yes, I'm aware I could solve this problem by using multiple user profiles on my computer, but the overhead and the amount of management would also be a massive headache. It is just far easier to do this.

Yay.

in reply to ardi60 • • •The screeshots shows functionality that the current profile/profile launch UI already has. Choose, create, ask on startup.
Right now it's hidden behind a startup parameter. But honestly, I would prefer a UI between the current one and the new one. That screenshot looks like it would reduce usability through big spacing and suboptimal alignment. At least judging by my preferences.

I guess adding a picture is nice. But does it have to be that huge and prominent?

in reply to Kissaki • • •This only works on Windows. For Macs and maybe Linux, you have to run this command to bring up a different profile:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -p
As best I can tell, there's no way to make this into a shortcut that you could just click on. This change will be good and allow me to launch them without invoking that command in terminal several times after rebooting my computer.

in reply to stoly • • •In Windows it's the same. Though the parameter is
-P(uppercase) not-p. That's why the comment said "it’s hidden behind a startup parameter".I dont know about Mac, but in Linux you can just manually make a
.desktopfile to have as a shortcut to callfirefox -P, or better a shortcut to a specific profile withfirefox -P <profile>. Though what I often do is keep a bookmark toabout:profilesand open a new window from there.stoly

in reply to stoly • • •On Mac:
If you want an icon you can double click on your desktop, you can put you command in a file with the extension “.command” and mark it as executable. Double clicking it will run the content as a shell script in Terminal.
If you want something that can be put into the Dock, use the Script Editor application that comes with macOS to create a new AppleScript script. Type
do shell script "<firefox command here>"then find Export in the menu. Instead of Script, choose export to Application and check Run Only. This will give you an application you can put in the Dock.If you want to use Shortcuts, you can use the Run Shell Script action in Shortcuts too.
Finally, if you want something that opens multiple firefoxes at once, chain multiple firefox invocations together on one line separated by an ampersand. There is an option you have to use (--new-instance I think?) to make Firefox actually start a complete new instance.

Just an easy way to separate people's browsing histories, cookes, bookmarks, etc I guess. And you can have them sync independently as well. For if other people want to use the same computer
