All living Israeli captives and hundreds of Palestinians released; Trump addresses Knesset
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/37487709
Dozens of bodies continue to be recovered every day in Gaza since the ceasefire went into effect on Friday, including 60 bodies in the past 24 hours. Roughly 500,000 Palestinians return to northern Gaza amid widespread destruction. Hundreds of Palestinian captives freed from Israeli detention arrive in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, or are exiled to Egypt as part of the ceasefire deal. Hamas releases all 20 remaining living Israeli captives. In the wake of Israel’s partial withdrawal, armed Palestinian groups accused of collaborating with Israel clash with security forces and resistance fighters in Gaza City. President Donald Trump addresses the Israeli Knesset to standing ovations then heads to Egypt for “Peace Summit” with world leaders. The American government shutdown entered its third week, leaving 750,000 workers furloughed and essential services paused. New lawsuit alleges postal worker Kingsley Fifi Bimpong died under police neglect in a Minnesota jail. Fighting on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border intensifies after Pakistani strikes putatively targeting Tehreek-e-Taliban fighters inside Afghanistan. An RSF strike in Sudan’s El-Fasher kills at least 60.

How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs
U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.
Cavallo and researchers Paola Llamas and Franco Vasquez have been tracking the price of 359,148 goods, from carpets to coffee, at major online and brick-and-mortar retailers in the United States.
They found that imported goods have become 4% more expensive since Trump started imposing tariffs in early March, while the price of domestic products rose by 2%.
The biggest increases for imports were seen in goods that the United States cannot produce domestically, such as coffee, or that come from highly penalised countries, like Turkey.
These price hikes, while material, have been generally far smaller than the tariff rate on the products in question - implying that sellers were absorbing some of the cost as well.

Prosecutors convening grand jury in Hope Florida investigation of Medicaid funds diverted to Desantis' campaign
Prosecutors in Tallahassee are convening a grand jury relating to the Hope Florida Foundation, reinvigorating a scandal that has engulfed the charity spearheaded by Casey DeSantis, the governor’s wife.
The investigation began after revelations, first reported by the Herald/Times, that the DeSantis administration directed $10 million from a legal settlement with the Medicaid contractor Centene through the foundation for political purposes.
Nearly all of the money ended up in a political committee controlled by DeSantis’ chief of staff, James Uthmeier. The committee’s purpose was to defeat last year’s recreational marijuana amendment. DeSantis later named Uthmeier as Florida’s attorney general.

One of Europe’s biggest farm machinery firms halts US exports over ‘hidden’ tariffs
One of Europe’s biggest farm machinery companies, Krone, has been forced to pause exports of large equipment to the US because of “alarming” and little-known new tariffs that are hitting hundreds of products from knitting needles and hairdryers to combine harvesters.
Among the products on the steel derivatives list drawn up in consultation with US manufacturers, Donald Trump is taxing 407 specific products ranging from tiny embroidery stilettos to cooker hoods, barbecues, fridges, freezers, dishwashers, hair curling tongs, grills, elevators, bridge and railway structures, agriculture equipment and wind turbines.
It has meant that since 18 August, companies such as Krone and the construction company Liebherr in Germany have to provide an unprecedented level of detail to customs border authorities certifying the origin, weight and value of any steel in their products right down to nuts and bolts.

Department of Health and Human Services rescinds more than half of the 1,300 termination notices it sent, reports say
On Friday, the White House budget office announced that as a result of the ongoing government shutdown, reductions in force (RIFs) across agencies have begun.
However, over the weekend, the administration rescinded more than half of the 1,300 termination notices it sent to public health officials at the CDC, according to Axios and Reuters, citing sources familiar. Around 600 people at the agency remain fired.
On Saturday, the New York Times reported that members of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), informally known as “disease detectives”, as well as the team that compiles the widely respected scientific journal, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, were among the employees reinstated.

That's a bit unfair. It's a very good DBMS.
Except now they are using such things in roles they are unfit for, from the beginning.
And it's not such a good DBMS for that to weigh more than everything else.
Eh, Postgres seems to be the standard these days.
Not sure why anyone would go with anything else for a new project.
Students With Hearing and Vision Loss Get Funding Back Despite Trump’s Anti-DEI Campaign- Funds are being rerouted by Republicans
Following public outcry, the U.S. Department of Education has restored funding for students who have both hearing and vision loss, about a month after cutting it.
But rather than sending the money directly to the four programs that are part of a national network helping students who are deaf and blind, a condition known as deafblindness, the department has instead rerouted the grants to a different organization that will provide funding for those vulnerable students.
Grants to the four agencies total about $1 million a year. The department started funding state-level programs to help deafblind students more than 40 years ago in response to the rubella epidemic in the late 1960s. Nationally, there are about 10,000 children and young adults, from infants to 21-year-olds, who are deafblind and more than 1,000 in the eight affected states, according to the National Center on Deafblindness.
While the population is small, it is among the most complex to serve; educators rely on the deafblindness programs for support and training.

'It's going to be really bad': Fears over AI bubble bursting grow in Silicon Valley
In recent days, warnings of an AI bubble have come from the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, as well as JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon who told the BBC "the level of uncertainty should be higher in most people's minds".
And here, in what is often considered the tech capital of the world, concerns are growing.
At a panel discussion at Silicon Valley's Computer History Museum this week, early AI entrepreneur Jerry Kaplan told a packed audience he has lived through four bubbles.
He's especially concerned now given the magnitude of money on the table as compared to the dot-com boom. There's so much more to lose.
"When [the bubble] breaks, it's going to be really bad, and not just for people in AI," he said.

Immigrants selling food, flowers and other merchandise in California will have new privacy protections intended to keep their identities secret from federal immigration agents.
The measure, signed into law this past week by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, comes on the heels of other recently enacted state laws meant to shield students in schools and patients at health care facilities from the reach of President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement actions.
Democratic-led states are adding laws resisting Trump even as he intensifies his deportation campaign by seeking to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-led cities to reinforce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who are arresting people suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.

Naked bike riders demonstrate against federal troops in 'quintessentially Portland' protest
Protesters rallying against the Trump administration in Portland put the city’s quirky and irreverent reputation on display Sunday by pedaling through the streets wearing absolutely nothing — or close to it — in an “emergency” edition of the annual World Naked Bike Ride.
Crowds that have gathered daily and nightly outside the immigration facility in Oregon’s largest city in recent days have embraced the absurd, donning inflatable frog, unicorn, axolotl and banana costumes as they face off with federal law enforcement who often deploy tear gas and pepper balls.
The bike ride is an annual tradition that usually happens in the summer, but organizers of this weekend’s hastily called event said another nude ride was necessary to speak out against President Donald Trump’s attempts to mobilize the National Guard to quell protests.

MTV spegne i canali musicali in Europa: è davvero la fine di un’era?
“I want my MTV” è stato il grido di una generazione. Quarant’anni dopo, MTV archivia un altro capitolo della propria storia: entro il 31 dicembre 2025 verranno spenti in UK i canali tematici MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV e MTV Live; resterà in onda solo il flagship MTV a programmazione d’intrattenimento. La stessa strategia tocca altri Paesi europei (con ulteriori chiusure nell’Europa centrale e nel Benelux), in linea con un consumo dei video musicali ormai migrato su YouTube, Instagram e TikTok. In Italia, invece, al momento sopravvivono sia MTV (intrattenimento) sia MTV Music su Sky/NOW, un lascito che tiene accesa la fiammella della “Music Television” per gli abbonati.

Esce una guida che è una bussola per abitare il mistero dei Nativi Americani
Il libro dialoga con il lavoro pluriennale dell’autrice e si affianca idealmente ad una sua opera di riferimento, “Nativi Americani. Guida alle Tribù e Riserve Indiane degli Stati Uniti”, tracciando un dittico complementare: da una parte la mappa dei popoli e dei territori, dall’altra il cuore simbolico dei miti e delle pratiche spirituali. Ne scaturisce un percorso che non folklorizza né semplifica, ma accompagna con precisione e rispetto studiosi, docenti, studenti, operatori culturali e lettori curiosi e appassionati.
Questo titolo si inserisce nella vasta collana che Mauna Kea Edizioni dedica da anni alla cultura nativa, un progetto editoriale che preferisce la cura alla fretta e la responsabilità all’effimero. Non un marchio che “presenta”, ma una casa editrice che continua a farsi tramite: scegliere i testi, ascoltare le comunità, offrire strumenti affidabili e accessibili, sostenere la lunga opera di divulgazione che Raffaella Milandri – insieme ad altri autori come Francesco Spagna e il poeta Lance Henson - porta avanti con molte pubblicazioni e con un impegno coerente sui diritti umani e sulla decolonizzazione dello sguardo.
Il volume è disponibile da ottobre 2025 con distribuzione nazionale in libreria e online.

I've read a lot of tech docs through the years. Hands down, this is my favorite.
I do not recommend installing their OS, unless you have time to kill and curiosity.
9front is completely useless. It's a programmer's toy; a sandbox to develop some OS build ideas.
