Satellites Are Leaking the World’s Secrets: Calls, Texts, Military and Corporate Data
Satellites beam data down to the Earth all around us, all the time. So you might expect that those space-based radio communications would be encrypted to prevent any snoop with a satellite dish from accessing the torrent of secret information constantly raining from the sky. You would, to a surprising and troubling degree, be wrong.Roughly half of geostationary satellite signals, many carrying sensitive consumer, corporate, and government communications, have been left entirely vulnerable to eavesdropping, a team of researchers at UC San Diego and the University of Maryland revealed today in a study that will likely resonate across the cybersecurity industry, telecom firms, and inside military and intelligence agencies worldwide.

Google to spend $15 billion on AI data centre in biggest India investment
BENGALURU, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Google said on Tuesday it would invest $15 billion over five years to set up an artificial intelligence data centre in India's southern state of Andhra Pradesh, its biggest ever investment in the world's most populous nation.
The U.S. tech giant's plan comes amid a tense diplomatic standoff between New Delhi and Washington over tariffs and a stalled trade deal, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged a boycott of foreign goods.

Fuck Alphabet and the rest of these vultures.
Valve launches the Steam Next Fest right on Windows 10 EOL because they hate me, specifically.
Like, why Valve? I was so close to clearing out all the games I was partway through, now I need to add some demos to my backlog (not many, this Next Fest is kinda weak).
~~Probably could've made it but I haven't picked a distro. I'm planning on turning my desktop into a dedicated gaming computer and not daily driver, because of the malware risk. I wanted something not finicky, something devs would test on as a known quantity, and preferably something Arch-based like SteamOS.~~
- ~~Garuda (Arch-based)~~
- ~~Bazzite (Known quantity, immutable, Fedora-based, I don't trust it for some reason)~~
- ~~Nobara (Proton-adjacent distro, Fedora-based)~~
- ~~CachyOS (Super fast, Arch-based, presumably finicky?)~~
- ~~Windows 7 (Based, unsupported by steam, insecure)~~
~~BTW I have an AMD CPU and GPU. Figured I should've mentioned that.~~
PopOS is a distro famous for it's Nvidia support. I'm on AMD so that's not a concern for me. Also System76 develops PopOS and they're squarely American so I'm hesitant to partake with them.
EDIT: Though it installs with full disk encryption by default, and I appreciate that even if I would probably disable it on what will be my dedicated gaming desktop.
From your list I ran the following:
- Bazzite: worked AMAZINGLY (to the point of me double-checking whether I'm getting any updates 😆) until some image screwed up the boot process (some versions I could boot into, some were crapping out right after GRUB). Can recommend if you have a relatively normal hardware configuration (so, as long as your machine is not a Clevo-reseller laptop with NVIDIA GPU and Intel CPU, you should be fine).
- Addendum: some binaries might not be available for you OOTB due to Bazzite's root filesystem being immutable. Read their docs on how to run packages / binaries that do require root access (or learn basics of self-hosting, I guess..?).
- Nobara: FUBAR'd it myself through... Well, being an idiot (had SOME regrets about that 😅); ran into some small issues with GPG keys, but otherwise used it w/o any major problems (see above) for... I think a year with some change? Can wholeheartedly recommend it, as long as you're somewhat familiar with what RPM packages are and how to work around issues with their signatures (usually - a trivial matter); updates are not as smooth as on Bazzite.
- CachyOS: my current daily driver. Barring some extremely minor issues in some games (usually solvable through Proton options- and versions fiddling), as was the case with Nobara - can wholeheartedly recommend it (this time, without caveats; despite the memery around Arch, it feels stable; the updates by default are a bit more annoying than on Bazzite though, similar in nature to Nobara: you get a notification "X packages have updates").
I'm currently using Nobara. I shifted from Bazzite to Nobara because I also use my PC for work and package installation was a pain if it was outside flatpaks.
Nobara is only an issue if you are using very old Nvidia GPUs. It's been working fine for me.
as long as you’re somewhat familiar with what RPM packages
Agree. It's very similar if you know apt

China says it will ‘fight to end’ after US said it was trying to hurt world economy
Commerce ministry says US is ‘threatening to intimidate’ with plans for new Trump tariffs on exports
China has hit back at accusations from the US that it is trying to hurt the world economy, as the trade war between the world’s two biggest economies appeared to re-escalate, amped up by aggressive rhetoric on both sides.
China’s commerce ministry said on Tuesday that the US was “threatening to intimidate” with the prospect of new tariffs on Chinese exports, “which is not the right way to get along with China”. Its spokesperson said that China would “fight to the end” in trade talks.
The comments came shortly after the US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, said China wanted to “to pull everybody else down with them” by damaging the world economy.

Is this really a FAFO moment for Trump? Is it beginning to dawn on him what he has started?
None of these problems existed before Trump became president!
Trump claimed trade wars are easy to win, but joke's on him, because trade wars have no winners, and more likely than not USA will be the biggest loser in Trump's moronic trade wars.

Pretty much. But if you need to test it, you can buy another drive and install linux and your games there. If it doesn't work, you can use the extra drive for something else.
In Steam on Linux, use settings to enable Experimental or Proton for Windows games.
Edit: This is computer science, you must report your findings!
Is fortnite on steam though?
Good info either way, just not sure whether its relevant
It's not.
And the owner of Epic, which owns Fortnite, is rabidly anti Linux. I believe he's made some concessions to lose less of the Deck market share, but he's made many insulting and untrue statements of Linux and its users in the past as well as actively sabotaging Linux functionality in games that used to have it.
Can I run my whole steam library on linux?
Depends on the games you have. The biggest issue is anti-cheat, so competitive online games have a worse chance of working, nearly all other games should work though.
And also get the same performance from AAA games?
Again depends on the specific games. Some have worse performance than on Windows, some have better performance.

The deal is that once the script has setup the lock doesn't get released so any further calls to the script just get ignored.
Is there a better alternative/flag I'd use? I couldn't discern much from the flock or nohup man pages.

UK Intel Warns Politicians of China and Russia Spying Efforts
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44053091
Archived
- The UK's domestic security service, MI5, warned politicians and their staff that they are being targeted by spies from China, Russia and Iran in efforts to undermine British democracy.
- MI5 said foreign actors may use methods such as dishonest online approaches, hacks and cyber attacks to recruit assets and obtain information, and may use financial donations to influence politicians' decisions.
- The security service urged politicians to be wary of "overt flattery", conduct due diligence on new contacts, and report any suspicious interactions to their security team promptly.
[...]
“The UK is a target of long-term strategic foreign interference and espionage from elements of the Russian, Chinese and Iranian states which, in different ways, seek to further their economic and strategic interests and cause harm to our democratic institutions,” according to the advice.
The document comes just weeks after a high-profile espionage case in which two men were accused of spying for China fell apart, sparking criticism of the government’s handling of the case and Starmer’s wider policy toward Beijing, with which he has sought to improve diplomatic ties since entering office last year.
Separately, Nathan Gill — a former Welsh leader of Nigel Farage’s populist right-wing Reform UK party — pleaded guilty last month to taking bribes in exchange for making statements in favor of Russia.

Israel kills seven Palestinians in violation of Gaza ceasefire
Israeli forces killed at least seven Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, in violation of the ceasefire agreement signed last week.
The Israeli military confirmed carrying out the attacks in Shujaiya, claiming it targeted individuals who had crossed agreed-upon army deployment lines after issuing warning shots. It did not comment on the drone strike in Khan Younis.
These attacks constitute a breach of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on Friday, which explicitly stated that “all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment and targeting operations, will be suspended”.

Global shipping nations consider historic climate deal amid US opposition
The world’s largest maritime nations are gathering in London Tuesday in a bid to strike a historic climate deal that could reshape the global shipping industry.
The proposed Net-Zero Framework would introduce a marine fuel standard that tightens over time, gradually lowering the emissions ships are allowed to produce. With maritime transport responsible for nearly 3% of global emissions and rising the need for change is urgent.
“The goal is to force the shipping industry to switch away from fossil fuels,” said Faig Abbasov, shipping director at Transport and Environment.

‘This Is a Struggle Between Good and Bad’
After Venezuela quashed dissent, opposition leader María Corina Machado went underground. In a rare interview from hiding, she shares why she’s not giving up.
María Corina Machado has barely felt the sun on her skin in 14 months. She has seen thousands of people on screens, but except for one perilous, brief moment, hardly anyone face-to-face. She has been in hiding since the days following Venezuela’s presidential election, when authorities loyal to Nicolás Maduro, the country’s autocratic leader, declared he had won a third term. Machado refused to retreat—refused to accept the results of an election that has been called tainted, fraudulent, and deeply flawed; a contest whose outcome, in the words of former U.S. Secretary of State Anthony J. Blinken, “does not reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people.”

Pro-Kremlin Matryoshka bot network publishes AI-generated images mocking Armenia’s PM Nikol Pashinyan ahead of the country's parliamentary elections

ArchivedThe pro-Russian Matryoshka disinformation network has launched a new campaign against Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ahead of the country’s June 2026 parliamentary elections.
[...]
The bots are spreading videos on X and BlueSky disguised as content from Western media outlets. These clips criticize Pashinyan for “destroying Armenia’s cultural code” and “imposing non-traditional values of tolerance.” They also accuse his administration of threatening opposition journalists and bloggers, as well as promoting an “unrealistic and dangerous” plan to create a “Fourth Republic.” The term refers to a declaration proposed by Pashinyan at the congress of his Civil Contract party and adopted by a vote of the participants. The document envisions extending the current government’s mandate for another five years after the 2026 parliamentary elections, adopting a new constitution through a referendum, formally renouncing Armenia’s territorial claims to Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), and pursuing a course toward joining the European Union.

The bots have also shared AI-generated images of Pashinyan being humiliated by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (including one in which Erdoğan forces Pashinyan to kiss his knee), and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Just a little thought I wanna discuss.
Unlike the more massive social media or the real world where theres not many leftists and we are gladly more united Lemmy and its left leaning tendencies with the instances providing natural cult grouping tendencies. Add to that the matrix in groups there and we all seem to be making a thing out of how to anger each other. How to troll each other or annoy x or y instance.

I support unions here even when everyone there is a religious fundamentalist who wants sharia law bc they still qantnto improve the conditions of the working class.

Because politics is not limited to Left and Right, compressed down to it's minimum reasonable simplicity it is at least two dimensional. In mass media you see "Left" vs "Right" division, on Lemmy you see Lib Left vs Auth Right vs Center divisions, which are just as strong but largely suppressed by entrenched political interests especially in the US but also across the industrialized world where Lib Left has been suppressed by the capitalist political apparatus.
Note that most of the time when someone on the Fediverse decries "Liberals" they mean capitalist centrist in the "Neo-Liberal" mode. In some specific circumstances though you might see Auth Left criticizing Lib Left with the term, essentially insulting them by lumping them in with the Centrists. In other cases more in line with mass media you might see any Right position using the term against anyone center or left of center.
Essentially, Liberal has become a term only meaningful in context, and for that reason largely useless in common discourse. This is why the Political Compass is so useful a tool, situating political positions in their context, though of course it is flawed by being only two dimensional when actual political groups are very much multidimensional.
The political compass is actually a terrible tool. Left vs right is broadly okay if framed as collectivized ownership as principle vs privatized ownership as principle, but economies in the real world aren't "pure," and trying to gauge how left or right a country is by proportion of the economy that is public vs private can be misleading. The next part, "libertarian vs authoritarian," is a false binary. The state is thoroughly linked to the mode of production, you don't just pick something on a board and create it in real life. There's no such thing as "libertarian capitalism," as an example. Centralization vs decentralization may make more sense, but that can also be misleading, as centralized systems can be more democratic than decentralized systems.
The creator of the compass is also politically biased.
As a fun little side-note, I can answer the standard political compass quiz and get right around the bottom-left while being a Marxist-Leninist that approves of full collevtivization of production and central planning. Yet, at the same time, the quiz will put socialist states in the top left, seemingly based on how the creator wants to represent things. It's deeply flawed. Add on the fact that it's more of an idealist interpretation of political economy than a materialist one, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

At first read I see a flaw in the first part of your argument, which is that centralization vs collectivization of economic ownership is not directly indicative of policy, rather it is the percentage of economic output which is used for collective services that dictates the Left/Right spectrum, which indeed is how a Far Left position can be coextant with a market economy and private ownership but with a tax or public stake in economic actors that returns a majority of the "profit" to collective service, it is rather the degree of enforcement of property rights as one of a set of rights and regulations by a central Authority which lies on the Auth/Lib spectrum that dictates the structure of the economic order. This is how for example you could be a Lib/Left Marxist who prefers central planning of the economy, so long as you don't believe the central planning should be enforced by monopoly of violence and instead implemented by collective consensus, there is no fundamental conflict in the position. Leninism on the other hand implies use of force by a centralized state military/police to restructure the economy along central planned lines, which is an Authoritarian position.
I agree the "quiz" is very flawed, it would need an order of magnitude more questions to be accurate, and authorship bias is certainly an issue.
That said, the compass itself I find to be quite accurate to the mental political models of most individuals. What you are pointing to, Centralization vs Distribution, is a relatively new way to concieve of the older Federal vs Local or State vs Community political framework. I would indeed view this as a "third axis" or omission by the two axis compass, as both Authority and Economy can have organization and flow biased towards fewer or more numerous nodes of participation/enforcement. To go back to your Lib Left Marxism, you could say that the Marxism part of that formula calls for a State economic planning model with high collectivization of economic output and low State enforcement of policy. On thing often missing from the Auth/Lib axis description is that reduced State enforcement does not mean reduced enforcement overall, but rather that the enforcement does not rely on the state monopoly on violence, instead directing enforcement through social exchange relying on the individuals applying their independent power onto each other to discourage deviancy from the consensus.
An easy example of this is in many tribal groups and including pacifist Western religious sects the worst corrective action an individual faces is shunning, which relies on all of the individuals of the community independently choosing to no longer participate socially or economically with the individual being corrected. The decision to do so may be more or less centralized or decentralized (for example a Priarch/Priest might declare shunning in a nonviolent Christian community, while a specific tribal group may only do so through a process of full group consensus, or even the most lib/local of all a spontaneous reaction of each individual against the deviant based on norms.
You're wrong about the Marxist-Leninist position, though, and that's exactly why the compass makes no sense. Marxists all agree on using the state as the collective means by which planning is accomplished. All the compass does is make things more confusing.
Overall, it is much better to abandon trying to measure things on a non-existent spectrum than it is to try to force them into one.

Hybrid threats force Poland to tighten medicine supply controls as the country aims to wean itself off Asia for essential drugs
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44047903
Archived[...]
Efforts to diversify domestic manufacturing and supply are ongoing, focusing on supporting Polish pharmaceutical companies and building facilities closer to European markets. However, production decisions regarding active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or finished products remain commercial, independently made by responsible entities based on business strategies.
A key ministry goal is to reduce Poland’s reliance on external markets, especially on Asian suppliers responsible for most raw materials and APIs. “Uncoupling from Asia is crucial to enhancing Poland’s supply chain stability,” the ministry noted, highlighting its cooperation with the Government Strategic Reserves Agency (RARS), which plays a vital role in crisis management. RARS maintains expert capacity and logistics, proven during COVID-19 vaccine deployment and aid to Ukraine.
Another key area in Poland’s pharmaceutical security strategy is the National List of Critical Medicines. First presented in December 2024, this list has since been updated to include 401 substances deemed crucial for patient safety and the resilience of the healthcare system.
[...]
“True security lies in producing medicines in the EU and Poland,” [president of Medicines for Poland Krzysztof] Kopeć stressed. While acknowledging the ministry’s National List of Critical Medicines, he emphasised that lists alone don’t guarantee security. Reducing dependence on Asia requires cost acceptance by the EU and national governments. European producers need profitable prices to manufacture medicines sustainably.

[Michał Byliniak, director general of INFARMA, the Employers' Union of Innovative Pharmaceutical Companies] emphasised the need to ensure patients’ needs are met during armed conflict, with timely access to medicine, even before emergency procedures are activated. “We faced such challenges after the Ukraine war began, guaranteeing treatment continuity for patients who suddenly lost access,” he recalled.

China detains dozens of members of underground church as government pressure on Christianity increases
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44046616
ArchivedThe authorities in China have detained the pastor of one of the country’s most prominent underground churches, along with dozens of other people affiliated with his church, according to the pastor’s family and members of the church, prompting worries about a renewed crackdown on religion.
The pastor, Jin Mingri, who also goes by the name Ezra, founded Beijing Zion Church in 2007. It grew into one of the country’s largest unofficial congregations, with several satellite campuses and over 1,000 people attending its weekend services.
Mr. Jin, 56, was detained on Friday at his home in the city of Beihai in Guangxi Province, according to his daughter, Grace Jin, who lives in the United States. Around the same time, nearly 30 other Zion Church pastors or workers were taken into custody or went missing around the country, including in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other cities, she said.
[...]
In recent months, [...] surveillance on Mr. Jin seemed to have ramped up, Ms. Jin [who is Mr. Jin daughter who lives in the US] said. In September, the government issued new regulations limiting religious activity online to officially registered channels.
Mr. Jin had also suggested to the state security officers monitoring him that he might retire from Zion so that he could join his family, Ms. Jin said. But she said the officers refused to let him leave.
“After this kind of posturing, it seemed like something big was going to happen again,” Ms. Jin said. “We just didn’t know when or to what extent. But I also feel like my dad is always the optimist.”
She added, “He is sort of like, ‘Well I can’t live in fear every day, so I’m just going to continue on with what I need to do.’”[...]
Corey Jackson, the founder of Luke Alliance, a U.S.-based group that advocates for persecuted Christians in China, said that the detentions were “without a doubt” the biggest crackdown on Christianity in China since 2018.

You would think the world would expect this starting with the violations of agreements dating back to 1948 where the rapists, murderers, and thieves violated a ceasefire agreement in Der Yassin, massacring and raping civilians who willingly disarmed themselves for peace. (Currently, if you look at the Wikipedia page, you'll notice a lot of Zionists pushing Zionist sources that deny the nature of the massacre. Lots of these edits starting in 2023)
There's also the infamous 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre. PLO withdrew and demilitarized the area in a peace agreement. The Israelis, to "not violate" the ceasefire agreement, facilitated their allied rapists, murderers, and thieves to come in to this unprotected refugee camp to rape and murder the refugees.
Honestly, the world expects this, but just doesn't give a shit or they endorse it. May all those that bear a semblence of responsibility for these atrocities rot in hell.
