Black Phone 2, la recensione: Ethan Hawke torna a terrorizzare il grande schermo
Il telefono è tornato a squillare. E con lui, Ethan Hawke.
In Black Phone 2, Scott Derrickson riporta in vita il suo villain più inquietante: il Rapace, tra incubi, nevi insanguinate e visioni dal passato.
Un horror visivamente straordinario, dove la pellicola analogica diventa linguaggio di paura — ma la sceneggiatura inciampa tra citazioni e spiegoni.
Un po’ Nightmare, un po’ Stranger Things, con un’anima che resta sospesa tra inferno e redenzione.

Seeking active federated communities for command line tips and tricks
I'm looking for active federated communities on the fediverse where users share tips, tricks, and best practices for using the command line. Something similar to the Arch Linux forums but accessible through the fediverse.
I've checked out a few communities like Command Line@lemmy.ml (1.47K subscribers) and Command Line@programming.dev (2.09K subscribers), but they seem to have many subscribers but no active users per month. It feels like Lemmy smothers these niche communities somehow.
Does anyone know of other active federated communities or instances where command line enthusiasts gather to share knowledge and help each other out?

Brazil’s first private Amazon road paves new trade route to China as pro-deforestation mindset prevails
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44101271
Archived
- Brazil’s government has signed a 30-year contract to privatize a section of the BR-364 highway, a key part of its plan to create an overland corridor to Peru to streamline commodity exports to China.
- Critics warn that expanding the highway into well-preserved rainforest risks repeating its history by attracting illegal loggers and land grabbers, a pattern that previously cleared vast areas for agriculture.
[...]
Fueled by soybean, corn and beef production, [the Brazilian state of] Rondônia is now one of Brazil’s leading agribusiness states, where a pro-deforestation mindset prevails, rooted in a population largely disconnected from the forest, rivers and traditional Amazonian culture. This view gained renewed momentum under Jair Bolsonaro, the far-right president from 2019-2022, who won all 52 of Rondônia’s municipalities in both the 2018 and 2022 elections.
Cutting across Rondônia, BR-364 has become a key route for moving grain, beef and minerals to ports on the Madeira River in Porto Velho. From there, commodities from Brazil’s central-west region are shipped downriver to foreign markets via the Atlantic Ocean.

Russia accuses exiled opponents of plot to violently seize power
An exiled Kremlin critic, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, has been accused by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) of creating a “terrorist organisation” and of plotting to violently seize power.
The FSB said it had opened a criminal case against Khodorkovsky and was investigating more than 20 people as part of the same charge. These include prominent dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza, former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, ex-prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov and leading economists Sergey Aleksashenko and Sergei Guriev.
It comes just two weeks after a “platform for dialogue” with Russian democratic forces in exile was announced by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, a human rights forum of lawmakers from 46 European countries.
The FSB claimed Khodorkovsky was presenting this platform as a replacement for Russian leadership. He was also accused of funding Ukrainian paramilitary units in order to use them to try to eventually seize power.
Khodorkovsky rejects accusations
Khodorkovsky denied the accusations and called the criminal case a sign that the Kremlin sees the Council of Europe initiative as “a major problem”.
“Hence the new cases about ‘seizing power’, the lies about ‘recruiting’ and ‘arming the Ukrainian military’,” he said on Telegram.

China wants foreign scientists, the public says no, thanks: Since Beijing announced a new visa to attract young science and technology graduates, a backlash has erupted online
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44096080
ArchivedWhen the Chinese government announced a new visa to attract young science and technology talent, it advertised the move as another step toward becoming the leading scientific power, one to which people from around the globe would flock.
To many in China, it was a gross mistake.
In the days before and since Oct. 1, when the visa was supposed to come into effect, commenters have accused the government of inviting foreigners to steal jobs from Chinese people, at a time when young people are finding it harder than ever to land work. They have suggested that foreigners are being blindly worshiped, a longstanding national sore point.
Prominent influencers have also stoked nationalism or xenophobia, claiming that China will be overrun by outsiders. After Henry Huiyao Wang, the president of the Center for China and Globalization, a research group in Beijing, praised the new visa, people on social media called him a race traitor, and their posts were shared thousands of times.
Platforms have been especially flooded by racist comments about Indians, after Indian news outlets reported on the Chinese visa as a possible alternative to the highly popular H1-B visa in the United States, which now comes with a $100,000 fee.
[...]
The public outcry suggests that China may still struggle to attract the world’s best and brightest scientists, even as the United States has cut research funding and pushed many prominent scholars to consider leaving.
Anti-foreign sentiment has grown in China in recent years, as the government has warned of hostile overseas powers and urged people to report potential spies. China has historically had minuscule levels of inbound immigration, and many cultural and legal barriers remain for foreigners seeking to remain long-term.
When the government proposed slightly loosening permanent residency requirements for foreigners in 2020, it eventually retreated in the face of a similar backlash. (China granted fewer than 5,000 permanent residency cards between 2004 and 2014, according to People’s Daily.)

At the United Nations, China touts its progress on gender equality, but its approach to feminist activism tells a different story
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44096052
Archived[...]
For China, the U.N. summit on October 13-14 is the final, triumphant act of a yearlong show of force from its diplomatic and media mouthpieces seeking to center its “historic achievements in women’s development” and position China as a global model for women’s rights protection.
Yet as officials trumpet their “30 years of progress” to assembled dignitaries, the voices of the country’s own feminists will be conspicuously absent.
That’s because many are in prison, while others face threats and harassment intended to keep them silent – whether they still live in China, or have had to flee abroad.
China’s self-congratulatory narrative on women’s rights has been pushed not just at home, but also abroad: from the halls of the United Nations to the pages of local embassies and media markets in, for example, South Africa, Tanzania, Liberia, Ghana and Grenada. Last month, state-run press even published two compilations of Xi Jinping’s speeches in English for the explicit purpose of “help[ing] international readers gain a deeper understanding of Xi’s views” on women’s rights and much more ahead of the U.N. meeting in Beijing.
[...]
Xi’s views are clear on one point: that shutting down space for critical voices and public discussion on human rights, including topics of women and gender, are essential matters of national security.
Over the last decade, the Chinese state has continued to implement laws and policies that suppress feminist activism – and in doing so has convicted women human rights defenders one by one.
[...]
The five women made famous by their 2015 criminal detentions for advocacy on International Women’s Day continue to work in civil society and to push for policy change – but they are careful to do so in ways that keep them and their families safe. Following their detentions, the costs of speaking out publicly have only risen. For four years, #MeToo activist and journalist Huang Xueqin has been locked up for “inciting subversion of state power” for her social media posts and her efforts to learn about and discuss non-violent movements.
Many other women activists – such as Li Qiaochu, Chen Jianfang, Xu Yan and Zhang Zhan – have languished in prison based on similarly spurious convictions. Vaccine safety advocate He Fangmei was convicted of “picking quarrels” and (absurdly) bigamy in 2024; when she’s released in 2027 she will have spent seven of the last eight years in detention. Her family doesn’t know where her daughters – the youngest one born while she was in detention – are located.
[...]
When Chinese officials wax poetic about the country’s progress on women’s rights, it is essential to remember that this is not the whole story. The government postures on anti-discrimination, locks up women defenders, and criminalizes feminist activism – all out of fear that the system the CCP has built might come crashing down on their heads.

Changing Screen Position on raspberry pi
Hello there, I am working on a little project as a way to improve my cad abilities. I am hoping to build a custom fantasy computer to go along with the pico8 fantasy system. I am basing it off of the Mac se/30 but am obviously hoping to get that nice 1:1 aspect ratio.
Trouble is that decent size 1:1 screens don't seem to exist as far as I have researched, I instead found a small 4:3 lcd panel I can use, and was originally planning to simply rotate the screen and let it render 1:1 while physically covering the top and bottom, but it seems to add significantly more vertical height than I anticipated.
so now I am hoping that I can shift the screen down and somehow get the PI to render only in the topmost visible section.
Included are a couple pictures of what I mean.
I am just wondering if there is a way, in software, to rotate and move up the screen, or at least the pico 8 window

US airports refuse to air Kristi Noem video blaming Democrats for shutdown
Airports in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Seattle and elsewhere cite laws barring partisan political content at TSA checkpoints
Several major international US airports, including Phoenix Sky Harbor , Harry Reid international in Las Vegas, Seattle–Tacoma and Charlotte Douglas airport in North Carolina, are opting to block a video from the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, that blames Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown from airing at their checkpoints.
Airport authorities in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Charlotte and Westchester county, New York, have refused to display the footage at security checkpoints, saying the overtly political messaging potentially violates state and federal law, including the Hatch Act, which bars federal employees from partisan political activity.
In the video, obtained first by Fox News, Noem tells travelers: “Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and most of our TSA [Transportation Security Administration] employees are working without pay.”

Trump admin pressured Facebook into removing ICE-tracking group

She added that the DOJ "will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement."When contacted by Ars, Facebook owner Meta said the group "was removed for violating our policies against coordinated harm." Meta didn't describe any specific violation but directed us to a policy against "coordinating harm and promoting crime," which includes a prohibition against "outing the undercover status of law enforcement, military, or security personnel."
The statement was sent by Francis Brennan, a former Trump campaign advisor who was hired by Meta in January.

because the conditions that made the "baby boomers" or the characteristic "millennials" are almost exclusive to the post-ww2 economic boom in the US.
gen-z is just a name that describes young people. why not just say young people instead of making up generational war nicknames?
You could make that case for the boomers, but with the advent of the Internet it's not really limited to specific countries anymore. Gen z just describes people who grew up with some access to the internet, but not to the extent of alpha. A large part of these recent revolts were caused or accelerated by social media. Gen Z is more specific than young people, and in this case also more culturally relevant.
Doesn't matter anyway, even if you think Gen Z isn't real you know what age range the article is talking about.
historically it's always young people and minorities (of any age) that go out to fuck things up. they are the ones who get the most fucked after all. no need to make generational divides out of it though, it's not just them getting the short end of the stick.
and not just genz grew up with internet, it's just that they are the young ones still. shitty fucking propaganda tbh.
not ancient. propagandizing younger generations to weaponize juvenoia is a very recent thing, if you were born in the last 50 years you can remember it, as i do.

‘Pete Hegseth Has United the Media!’ Only One Outlet Has Agreed to Pentagon’s New Press Rules as Fox News, CNN and More Refuse to Comply
Pete Hegseth‘s Defense Department has threatened to revoke press credentials of news organization that do not agree to restrictive new coverage rules — and says it may bar journalists who don’t agree to abide by the rules from physical access to the Pentagon’s grounds. But more than three dozen news orgs have said they are refusing to sign on to the requirements.On Tuesday, in a joint statement five major TV news outlets — ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News — said they were not agreeing to the new rules. The Pentagon has told reporters they must sign an agreement for the new rules by Tuesday or turn in their press passes by Wednesday.
According to the Defense Department’s press office, which outlined the new rules last month, reporters covering the Pentagon must sign a pledge not to obtain or use unauthorized material (even if the information is unclassified). If they do not, they will potentially be barred from the Pentagon.
“Today, we join virtually every other news organization in declining to agree to the Pentagon’s new requirements, which would restrict journalists’ ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues,” the networks said in the statement. “The policy is without precedent and threatens core journalistic protections. We will continue to cover the U.S. military as each of our organizations has done for many decades, upholding the principles of a free and independent press.”
The five networks join a number of other news orgs that have already said they won’t agree to the new rules being imposed by Hegseth, a former Fox News host. Those include the New York Times, AP, Reuters, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Politico, NewsNation and the Hill, along with conservative-leaning outlets like Newsmax and the Washington Examiner.

My guess is that the administration backs down. Maybe they could lose some of those, but if they can't even get Fox News and Newsmax onboard, they're just basically shutting down their media coverage.
EDIT: Also, I'm amazed that the administration managed to dick things up to that degree. I don't have a very high opinion of Hegseth, but if there's one thing that you'd think that his experience would be relevant for, you'd think that he'd at least be able to handle media relations with Fox News.

El Paso family claims Border Patrol killed their dog during search, CBP reviewing incident
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/47935906
The son answered the door and, while he permitted the agents to search his home, claiming he had nothing to hide, he asked if they could wait first while he put the family dog, Chop, a Rottweiler, away in the bathroom before they walked in, as the dog could be aggressive...
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home and, as a result, ended up shooting the dog.The family stressed that the agents knew-- the son had told them-- that Chop was put in the bathroom for their safety and that the agents opened the door, let Chop out and shot him.
Furthermore, the family said none of the Border Patrol agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to the dog, which bled to death on the kitchen floor.
The family added that when they confronted agents, Border Patrol reportedly told them they were working from an anonymous tip tied to the previous owners of the home, who lived there two years ago.

I think we're at the tip of the iceberg, I genuinely do."
Yet a couple of months later, in February 2011, we now know he emailed Epstein to say: "I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!"
The message came the day after the first interview with his accuser Virginia Giuffre, published in The Mail on Sunday, which included a photo of Andrew with his arm around Guiffre's waist.

in reply to RezaDarius • • •apparmor comes with several profiles, and if in your distro it doesn't include one for librewolf, you can use the firefox one. And if there's no available one and you would be interested in combine it with firejail then most probably firejail will come with with a profile for firefox or librewolf and usually with support for apparmor. Regardless of the distros, the arch wiki can guide you with apparmor and firejail. I recommend becoming familiar with both. Another option if there's no profile on your distro is to look into another distro's profile. ubuntu used include some software with apparmor out of the box so perhaps it's a good source of profiles...
Also in this same community there's an old post precisely about what you're asking for, though it's a bit dated, you may want to scroll for some time until getting to it.
Edit:
Firejail is insecure, my bad. Better to use bubblewrap (I didn't know about bubblejail). The thing is that firejail offers profiles combined with apparmor which might have solved the lack of apparmor profiles. For my personal purposes I hope to take a look at bubblejail to have an easier way to do sandboxing. You can see the arch wiki bubblewrap examples to notice how bubblewrap doesn't help with apparmor profiles though. According to the arch wiki for bubblejail or the GH page for bubblejail profiles are used and can easily be created, however I have no idea of the interaction with apparmor, and if as with firejail such profiles include apparmor stuff, but intuitively I guess it doesn't.
Going back to apparmor, which is MAC enforcement, if no profiles available on your distro for librewolf neither firefox, then looking at other distros is OK, and also one can create profiles as well as one can also modify existent or available ones. See for example the arch wiki for apparmor.

in reply to kixik • • •I would recommend not touching Firejail unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing, as it can (and probably will) worsen security.

in reply to arox • • •Flatpak's use of bubblewrap (it comes from flatpak but then it became its own project) is not a good example, see:
madaidans-insecurities.github.…
But in general this is true. I talked out of memory, but firejail given its suid way is considered insecure (possible privilege escalation), that's right
