His backup plan if he survives is to run for a third term. He's already selling "Trump 2028" merch with a new campaign slogan "rewrite the rules."
And the entire Republican party is behind that idea.
He probably means when they had a right-wing authoritarian dictatorship that murdered everyone on the left.

Usually for latinamerican politics, there's no "good" ones, we are forced to pick the less bad but sometimes people pick the worse because they are angry at the previous parties.
Look at México, that's how the expresident won, everyone turned a blind eye to his history to "teach previous parties a lesson".
And sometimes there's no less bad, but we still have to pick.
This is argentina. The main opposition are a pile of thieves. The opposition before Milei to them is a round robin of people who seem to fail anyway.

actually no. I mean yes, it's a worldwide issue, but the point I'm making is that in terms of natural resources and system of governance, Argentina actually has a lot going for it. They have a two round election system, the elections are fair and reliable, the amount of terms someone can serve as president is limited, they have abundant natural resources, free and high quality public education, etc etc.
For all intents and purposes, the argentinian public doesn't have as many excuses as other countries, for having such shitty governments. There's no unfair vote distribution, there's no lack of resources, there's sufficient education opportunities for social mobility and so on and so forth. If they bothered voting for a decent party instead of idiots, they'd be faring far better than they are.

Looking for sites that show popular Linux packages by category and popularity
I often use pkgstats to check the popularity of Arch packages I use. Sometimes I notice a package is declining in popularity, and I’d like to find similar alternatives that are trending instead. Something like pkgstats.archlinux.de/fun
Are there any sites that categorize Linux software and show popularity within each category, so it’s easier to discover alternatives?

Don't forget if a previously popular application starts to become unpopular its typically for a good reason! So watching downward trends can also clue you into issues or problems you would not have other wise known.
People dislike change so it takes something decently serious to actually halt momentum.
The logic is that the most useful app will be the most popular by virtue of its utility.
Not always true but I’m sure there’s some correlation.
I don't know of a service that tracks all major repositories to calculate a single popularity index. They are not really comparable to each other anyway.
Depending on what type of application you search for, I think "Flathub" could be one major source. It's a pretty popular "platform" and not dependent on a certain distribution. There are "Trending" and "Popular" categories too. It's excellent to find some new software (or to remind an older one exist) in my opinion. You don't even need to install the Flatpak and can do it from Archlinux repositories (or the AUR if you prefer).
Flathub - Apps for Linux
Find and install hundreds of apps and games for Linux. Enjoy Firefox, Telegram, RetroArch, GIMP and many more!Flathub
You wouldn’t need to track them all, any distro’s installed package distribution (statistical, not Linux distro) should be strongly correlated with all of the others.
Just like how you can poll a large crowd based on the opinions of a few thousand people. Arch is a good place to look since all packages are explicitly chosen by the user while in other distros the default software packages ensure that their repo stats will be skewed.
When I’m looking into alternatives, I usually just search social media and note the things people recommend. The software ecosystem is small enough that this method isn’t (yet) polluted by bots promoting software.
Repology might kinda help for your use case. It lets you search for software that is packaged on many different "families" of distributions. You can also filter by category.
Admittedly it does kinda depends on your definition of popularity. But it's good at answering these questions:
- Is this widely regarded as free software?
- Has it been around for a while?
- Is it useful enough to have been packaged in many places?
Debian has a package called popcon (Popularity Contest) which tracks package usage.
You can search a package name. I made an example graph showing web browser usage. This may not be fully accurate because it isn't showing proprietary browser such as Chrome or Brave.

Teens Who Sued Hawai‘i Say Climate Plan For Aviation Doesn’t Fly
Rylee Brooke Kamahele helped forge a landmark legal settlement requiring Hawai‘i to eliminate carbon emissions from the state’s transportation system in the next 20 years, including cars on all islands, ships and airplanes used for interisland flights.
Now, Kamahele and other plaintiffs in the historic Navahine settlement are pushing back against a major element of the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation’s plan for reaching the goal. The issue: the department’s proposal to use what’s known as sustainable aviation fuel or SAF— essentially the airplane equivalent of biodiesel — for interisland flights.
The department’s proposed plan to use the fuel aligns with the view of the aviation industry and fuel producers — as well as a local grower of oily plants that can be converted into sustainable aviation fuel — that SAF is the most practical choice to reduce emissions.

[Announcement] What Will Happen When The Mercenaries League Ends
The Mercenaries Challenge League will end soon and you may be wondering what will happen when it does.
We really love the Mercenaries mechanic overall and intend on adding it to the game in the future but they will not be added in 3.27. Much like a lot of leagues when they go core we need time to rebalance, adjust mechanics and review how they will fit into the game when not necessarily appearing in every area. They will be returning, just not yet!
So, here's what you can expect when the league ends on Oct 27, 2025 09:00 PM (UTC).
- Items you have given them to equip will go into remove only tabs.
- Mercenaries will be deleted.
- Trarthan Gems will be a new reward you can get from Gem Chests in Heist.
- Mercenary League specific uniques will move into the global drop pool.
Thanks to everyone for playing and to those of you still trying to complete your unfinished challenges, you still have two weeks to do so before the Mercenaries League ends. To those of you looking forward to something new, keep an eye on the news for the upcoming 3.27 reveal!

It sounds like they are basically doing the same thing Replicant does (they even mentioned Replicant), but based on LineageOS right now, and with enough resources to hire someone to work on reverse engineering the proprietary bits.
Not the most glamorous endeavor, but a cool and necessary project. Pretty pragmatic too, focusing on Android instead of mobile Linux.

Not a good choice for a name, at first I though it was just another linux phone that would be useless for 90% of people.
Very cool project instead, hope this can lead the fondation for a 100% open source mobile OS.
But if the userbase becomes too large, tech companies will see their bottom lines affected, and it'll be enshittified like everything else. And it'll become a more attractive target for malware, of course.
Doesn't have to be. Marketing also includes a website, that you as a user need to consciously visit to see, which I would definitely consider consensual.
Commercials like billboards are a different story, those definitely suck
I feel it's a bit like the usability vs security dilemma.. you can try to optimize to have both, but then you won't have as a result neither the most secure system nor the smoothest user-friendly experience, but something in between (you might still consider that "secure" or "usable", but that just depends on where you set your expectations).
If you want to maximize marketing then the result won't be as ethical as it could be, and if you want to maximize ethics then the result won't be as marketable as it could be.
Good marketing means achieving an arbitrary limit of what you consider "good" marketing. So it depends on where you set the bar.
The best marketing necessarily requires some level of unethical behavior, because being honest and saying the whole truth doesn't sell. Everything has drawbacks and benefits.. the better marketing minimizes (or even hides / fails to mention) the drawbacks and emphasizes the benefits, which is a form of deception.
The day a open source project has good marketing is the day the end of the world happens.
It's just impossible for some reason.
The issue is that for the FSF, what they call "software freedom" is their number one goal. So what's likely to happen is that they create some kind of "deblobbed" firmware that breaks many features and security of the device, which Graphene OS will refuse to use.
I hope this project will be useful but am worried that they'll just make a shittier version of someone else's work like they did with e.g. Libreboot.
There's a bit of hyperbolism and distortion in that comment.
So first of all, the FSF did not create Libreboot, that was just a coreboot distribution by one (or two) people and I would not call it shitty, it had prebuilt binaries with working GRUB configs for the models supported, even allowing for full disk encryption with a well written guide on how to do so.
Secondly, it's hard to create a chain of trust without trusing the hardware. As long as the manufacturer remains in control of any part of it, you will get the same situation thay we have now. I would rather use a deblobbed device than wait for obscure security features that provide no real-world benefit to my use case.
However, I think this may not catch on. Hundreds of millions of people use completely outdated phones with spyware of some form on them right now, they simply don't care.
FSF did not create Libreboot
Indeed (as I said) they did not create it, they made a shittier version of it, called GNU boot. Or I guess maybe not "the FSF" but devs under their umbrella. I think Linux Libre would be a better example. Or all the crappy "FSF approved" distros listed on their website.
it’s hard to create a chain of trust without trusting the hardware
That's true but that's not really their stance. They trust the hardware and the software running on said device, as long as they don't have access to the software. Microcode updates are an example of this. They don't like microcode "blobs" in the kernel but trust the outdated vulnerable microcode running on their CPU.
I would rather use a deblobbed device than wait for obscure security features that provide no real-world benefit to my use case.
I would not. I would prefer not to get hacked by spectre type attack. I also don't like broken virtualization on my CPU and don't want my CPU to destroy itself by high voltage.
But yes, I agree that to trust the software, we need to trust the hardware first. This also means that there is basically no "Respects Your Freedom" hardware. Every such hardware runs proprietary software which the user cannot see. And even if it ran no such software, it's still just proprietary hardware, which we cannot study, create derivatives, etc. If I ran the FSF, I would acknowledge that there is nothing but grey area, instead of drawing an arbitrary line through the grey area.
Going back to phones, I am just worried that the Librephone project will focus too much on moving the proprietary parts from software to the hardware instead of actually helping users to get more freedom.
I think this intiative is spot on. I would describe current approach of 2 major OS vendors, Google and Microsoft as such:
Microsoft demands standardization at firmware level via UEFI, ACPI etc. because they bring OS kernel and userspace.
Google demands Linux API version and brings just userspace.
In theory Google approach better facilitates open ecosystem but each OEM treats Linux kernel as just a firmware blob so the end situation is actually worse.
On the PC we have standardized firmware while Android chases Linux API levels each release and thus undermines the whole ecosystem.
This is amazing news!
I'm glad the fsf is actually taking it upon itself to create more solutions especially since it has become increasingly irrelevant throughout these years and sadly been replaced by the corporate "open source" hellscape.
We need free software, not "open source" corporate bullshit.
Open source was invented in the first place as a way to get people from being radicalized by the free software movement, since it would take money out of their filthy, greedy pockets.
If you don't want to have any freedom until you have it all, you'll be slave forever.
You're letting perfect get in the way of good enough.
Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021...'has reached end of support' warning (?!)

Na there are a bunch of caveats and different types of Windows 10/11 Enterprise and specifically IoT Enterprise.
Go back to their wiki pages cuz you are guna have to re-do the activation process and should nake sure you are setting it up per the provided instructions. Ive had windows 11 Enterprise IoT running for over a year now and its the best exclusive to Windows/Microsoft decision I ever made.
Microsoft makes a relatively great product in its Enterprise line, stripping most of the spy/bloatware out and allowing simple user configuration settings changes to kill the rest, plus all the advertised tools/software that only comes with an Enterprise shit.
Then they strip all the useful tools out, facefuck as much bloatware as they can jizz into your PC while buttfucking even more spyware into your PC raw dog style with so much breaking of everything with every fuckin update they release and call that fucking bastard Windows 10/11 Home Edition.
Im sorry I forgot what this conversation was about buuuuutttt fuck Windows in their fucking fuckhole is the TLDR.
Edit: This is all going entirely off memory wirh a huge iirc asterisks on it. I definitely remember having to do the set up over and over again, tho, figuring out which version was the best option for my use. I got the bitch set up now with local account, zero microsoft account affiliation and dont update fuckall unless its severe severe severe security risk. Its the best and most consistent my PC has ever ran.

Aka im all out of ideas or recommendations.
If your pirating which for end users is the only way to get LTSC, just run Windows Server.
It's cleaner than LTSC.
Not disagreeing but this isnt a form of pirating. They didnt break shit, they didnt hack shit and they didnt exploit shit. Microsoft built their entire DRM software in a way that was able to be recerse engineered.
Again, not contradicting anything you recommended. I just wanted to point this out for any lurkers because I cant encourage this option enough for anyone forced into putting up with Windows. You are actually uaing the same activation codes that microsoft themselves generate and distribute to their customers.
I can confirm it works for Windows 10, 11, for any iteration of 23h or 24h, all Office applications, both individually and packaged, visual studio, and I wanna say Adobe but that one im not 100% on.
If your pirating which for end users is the only way to get LTSC, just run Windows Server.
Its been over a year and as I said above im going off memory but I think I went with IoT Enterprise because of how nominal the differences were from Windows Server but also wanted to check out the IoT Enterprise because my cousin was starting his own fabrication/manufacturing company at that time and it was a good opportunity to see what his options were for future scalability that came with IoT Enterprise.
Legally, it isn't. The DMCA (and compatible laws in non-US countries, which those countries have to have or they're not allowed a trade deal, and not having a trade deal with the US is devastating for an economy) doesn't require copyright holders to do anything to defend their copyright. It does make it illegal to do (nearly) anything with copyrighted media that you don't have explicit permission to do from the copyright holder (there are some exceptions, but people generally think they go further than they really do). It also makes it illegal to do (nearly) anything to circumvent DRM, even if you have a legal right to use the thing that the DRM is protecting, no matter how crappy the DRM is and how easily it can be bypassed.
You're allowed to think that the law is stupid (it's the DMCA - everyone who looks at it and isn't a multibillion dollar publishing company thinks it's stupid), but that doesn't mean that it's not the law, and for legal terms like piracy, you can't just substitute your own definition based on what should be legal if it conflicts with the definition that says what really is legal.
The reason why non-crap DRM exists when there's no legal reason to make it not crap is the same reason why DRM exists at all when there's no legal reason to have DRM at all when piracy of DRM-free stuff is already a crime. It's that publishers think that the more of a hassle it is to pirate things, the more likely people are to buy things legally. Technically, a shareholder could sue a company for using crap DRM that failed to protect their IP, but the company has a decent defence by saying that they felt that intrusive DRM would hurt their reputation with legitimate customers, so not using strong DRM is not grounds to say a company's been negligent and liable for any losses they make due to piracy.
The script is legal. Not paying for software that requires you to pay is illegal.
It's like DeCSS code that strips drm from DVDs was legally grey but downloading movies you didn't pay for is illegal.
Its not my responsibility to close all their doors that are accessible to the public.
It's not your responsibility to close the doors, but it is your responsibility not to walk in an open door and take something that's not yours
As a US citizen, I'm liable for my own negligence and/or ignorance.
Yep, and that negligence/ignorance you're liable for in this case is piracy.
You're welcome to disagree with a bad law (and make no mistake, I absolutely think it's a bad law), but you're still liable for breaking laws you don't agree with. By all means break it, but don't pretend you're not breaking it, and make sure you take reasonable precautions to keep yourself safe while doing so.
You're welcome to disagree with a bad law
You're picking up what im putting down lol. Didn't mean to say I was disagreeing with what youre saying just in this case especially:
It's not your responsibility to close the doors, but it is your responsibility not to walk in an open door and take something that's not yours
Where I've paid for each new pc build to just have a blank slate and not carry over my digital footprint for microsoft from one build to the next. Also, tho, im not taking what isnt already mine, im just using a work around for dealing with microsoft's atrocious customer service.
Again, not saying this will hold up in a court of law, jist saying I dont lose any sleep over it.
Bonus rationalization: fuckin outlooks locked in and un-adjustable junk mail filters have auto filtered Microsoft own emails for upcoming annual Office invoices to my junk folder that I used to rarely check before getting slammed with over a $100 charge for Office eliminating my ability to use the email reminders as notification to cancel my subscription cuz even if you paid for a year of Office but wanna cancel a month into the year so you dont forget, microsoft says naaaaaaa you lose the remaining 11 months of paid software access.
Microsoft built their entire DRM software in a way that was able to be recerse engineered.
Downloading movies you haven't paid for is also piracy even if there's no drm. Microsoft doesn't need to put any copy protection for it still to be piracy.
Piracy has nothing to do with copy protection.

Greta Thunberg: “They kicked me every time the flag touched my face”
This is not about me or the others from the flotilla. There are thousands of Palestinians, hundreds of whom are children, who are being held without trial right now, and many of them are most likely being tortured, says Greta Thunberg.
What we have been through is only a small, small part of what Palestinians have experienced. On the walls of our prison cells, we saw bullet holes with bloodstains and messages carved into the walls by Palestinian prisoners who had been there before us.
When I’m about to get off the boat, there are a bunch of police officers waiting for me. They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me.
Greta Thunberg describes how she is dragged to a paved area fenced in with iron fences. This is a protracted scene that lasts for over six hours, according to Greta, and is confirmed by several participants in the flotilla that Aftonbladet talks to.
It was kind of dystopian. I saw maybe 50 people sitting in a row on their knees with handcuffs and their foreheads against the ground. They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.
They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. ‘A special place for a special lady’, they said. And then they had learned ‘Lilla hora’ (Little removed) and ‘Hora Greta’ (removed Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.
The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that.

Israelis and the rest of the world don't know about the living conditions in israeli jails, just like the germans and the rest of the world didn't know about the living conditions in the concentration camps, or in Guantánamo/'Abu Ghraib'(, Bagram air base, camp Nama, camp Bucca, ...)
One would think that caring about the way israeli hostages are treated would make them treat palestinians humanely.
Some testimonies, and it started way before 2023, e.g. here in 1991, in 2021(, dozens of locations, like Ofer in 2015, or Hebron from 2007 to 2014, and more), with thousands of testimonies(, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...), we just don't interview them(, e.g. recently, only known thanks to social medias that didn't existed a few decades ago).
It's not a question of proving anything, we(sterners) do not care.
It could all be over if Israel refused to deprive other abrahamic religions from these lands where the three religions started, and instead it wants all of them for itself, as well as the destruction of al-Aqsa and everything else, endangering itself by its greed instead of seeking acceptation.
Forcing others into submission is ugly, and Iran&others could accept Israel if offered a win-win situation instead of a unilateral loss. We(sterners) should only offer situations that we would ourselves accept if we were them.

Photos and videos obtained by Haaretz show dozens of detainees lying on their stomachs in handcuffs, some without clothing, while a guard dog barks over them. No unusual incident took place in the prison to prompt the guards' actionsJosh Breiner (Haaretz)
It's told everyday on the web.
Bah, je vis pas en Israël, mais perso je pense que leurs médias sont comme en France : certains(, de gauche objectivement,) vont s'offusquer des conditions de détention, et d'autres vont les sous-estimer ou ignorer, en n'y pensant presque pas.
De même qu'aux États-Unis beaucoup auront déjà oublié Guantánamo sans savoir qu'il y avait plein d'autres cas, et sans en avoir rien à faire.
Vraiment, je crois que l'on sous-estime l'impact des médias dans notre jugement des israéliens, j'ai même l'impression que beaucoup doutent de la sincérité de l'Autorité Palestinienne et que ça les arrange de prétendre que la solution à deux états est un leurre.
Qq chose comme ça, mon analyse est bâclée là, mais j'avais rapidement fait une recherche des médias les plus regardés en Israël et beaucoup sont proches de Netanyahou, tu te doutes qu'ils ne vont pas parler du point de vue palestinien, imagine BFM ou CNews parlant des gilets jaunes mais en pire car ici ce sont des "terroristes" qui ne s'arrêteront pas avant d'avoir tué tou.te.s les jui.f.ve.s, et qui connaît le point de vue des terroristes, c'est même illégal de le présenter(, = d'en faire l'apologie). Oui, clairement j'accuse les médias israéliens.
(Je dois y aller là, si jamais tu m'écris entre-temps je ne vais pas pouvoir te répondre avant ~16h)
Il n'y a pas de gauche en Israël.
Je sais mais non, comme nous ils sont pris dans un narratif, tu crois que les gens sont juste méchants ? Tout le monde se croit être dans le bon camp, rien de nouveau.
C'est pour ça qu'il faut leur parler, enfin bref, je vais pas te prendre la tête là-dessus.
J'avais posté ça récemment si ça t'intéresse, d'autres études montrent que les juifs israéliens se considèrent à 80% les victimes dans le conflit(, dernière page de pcpsr.org/sites/default/files/… ).
Je serais en faveur qu'Israël soit implanté en France à la place, mais là d'un coup tu verrais les français cesser de supporter les israéliens, donc les discours d'antisémitisme sont juste une autre manipulation, enfin pas la peine de t'en convaincre.
D'ailleurs, on pourrait prétendre refuser une implantation en France par respect des préférences israéliennes, mais on refuse aussi de donner un territoire aux musulmans en échange de leur perte de la moitié des Terres Saintes, en fait on s'en fiche d'avoir un échange équilibré/acceptable, c'est juste la loi du plus fort.
(J'ai lu avant-hier cette citation de Julio Escalona sur la futilité des négociations dans certains cas, j'y ai repensé plusieurs fois depuis car elle est bien exprimée. Sans vouloir tout confondre, elle semble appropriée pour le cas palestinien)

Large Majority of Jewish Israelis: Israel Making Substantial Efforts to Avoid Palestinian Suffering; Majority of Arab Israelis Disagree
78% of Jewish Israelis and 22.5% of Arab Israelis think that, given the circumstances of the fighting in Gaza, Israel is making efforts to avoid causing suffering to the Palestinian population there.en.idi.org.il
Ils sont élevés dans la haine des arabes, surtout palestiniens, qui ne sont que des animaux, des sous humains pour eux. Le "grand Israël", englobant toute la Palestine, et jusqu'à la Syrie, le Liban, la Jordanie. Voilà leur objectif. Faut écouter les conférences des juifs de coloniaux, qui connaissent bien le problème. Tsedek et l'UJFP.
Ah oui, eh bien là je te rejoins, on vit tous dans une bulle et ils ne font pas exception, après ils n'ont pas (encore? )banni B'tselem ou Haaretz(, tout pourrait toujours être pire ce n'est pas une excuse).
Je n'ai rien à ajouter au final...

Juste des gens normaux semblant surtout se préoccuper de leur vie personnelle.
Certains répétent que les palestiniens veulent juste tuer des juifs et je me demande depuis quelques semaines quel pourcentage de la population est au courant que l'Autorité Palestinienne insiste pour une solution à deux États depuis longtemps(, presque personne ici ne semblait être au courant alors que c'est un sub dédié, et que ce genre de connaissance est la base, comment peut-on ignorer ça ? Enfin, en vérité je me doute bien que les israéliens sont au courant et que ces gens sur reddit sont juste bizarrement sous-informés malgré leur présence assidue sur ce sous)
Je ne sais pas comment les israéliens justifieraient la colonisation des terres palestiniennes s'il leur avait posé cette question(, edit : ici)(, pas le prétexte de la sécurité, vu que détruire la Palestine n'augmentera pas leur sécurité, que des mesures de sécurité pourraient les protéger, etc.), mais leur réaction de déni surpris aurait peut-être été la même qu'ici.
Tu sais, je trouve que l'on était pas mieux durant les attentats de l'État islamique et que tout le monde prétendait qu'ils étaient juste fous sans se demander pourquoi on se faisait attaquer(, c'était quelques semaines/mois après ça, comment on a pu se démerder pour l'ignorer à plus de 95% ?), c'était une situation différente mais un peu semblable.
D'ailleurs, eux aussi ont été traité de façon affreuse après leur capture, avec plein de victimes civiles présentées comme boucliers humains, et plein d'atrocity propaganda, et les choses habituelles.
Cette fois-là, on applaudissait, et la prochaine fois on recommencera, de même que l'on continuera de soutenir Israël au prochain attentat plutôt que de faire pression pour la création d'un État palestinien.

Ok, et laisse tomber la chaîne que je t'ai conseillé en fait elle est bof, il est israélien pas extérieur comme je le pensais, et si un palestinien avait fait ces vidéos il aurait probablement eu le biais inverse(, edit : en fait ça semble impartial, juste que c'est facile de sélectionner les micro-trottoirs et il dit que tous sont gardés, parfois on voit bien que les gens comprennent mal la question et le contexte de la situation qu'il décrit, elle est posée trop brute et sans avoir/prendre le temps de creuser aussi, 'fin bref). Mais ça semble confirmer que les israélien·ne·s pensent que ce sont les palestinien·ne·s qui refusent la paix, pff.
Dsl pour le follow-up si ça t'a ennuyé, 'nuit.
Edit : oui, ils/elles semblent vraiment croire en majorité que les palestinien·ne·s refusent une solution à deux États, malgré la position claire de l'Autorité Palestinienne maintenue depuis Oslo. Je suis surpris, est-ce qu'une majorité ignore réellement le point de vue de l'Autorité Palestinienne à ce sujet ? C'est ce que les vidéos montrent, c'est dingue si c'est la situation réelle sur le terrain, juste une manipulation de masse(, ça expliquerait comment plus de 80% des israélien·ne·s peuvent se permettre de penser que leur victimation est plus grave que les autres partis de ce conflit malgré la colonisation continue, les faits historiques, et les statistiques ; c'est juste qu'ils ne savent pas que c'est Israël l'unique responsable de l'échec d'Oslo, des autres accords, et du refus actuel).

Greta Thunberg: “They kicked me every time the flag touched my face”
This is not about me or the others from the flotilla. There are thousands of Palestinians, hundreds of whom are children, who are being held without trial right now, and many of them are most likely being tortured, says Greta Thunberg.
What we have been through is only a small, small part of what Palestinians have experienced. On the walls of our prison cells, we saw bullet holes with bloodstains and messages carved into the walls by Palestinian prisoners who had been there before us.
When I’m about to get off the boat, there are a bunch of police officers waiting for me. They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me.
Greta Thunberg describes how she is dragged to a paved area fenced in with iron fences. This is a protracted scene that lasts for over six hours, according to Greta, and is confirmed by several participants in the flotilla that Aftonbladet talks to.
It was kind of dystopian. I saw maybe 50 people sitting in a row on their knees with handcuffs and their foreheads against the ground. They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.

Right, but then rich people can no longer exploit other regions if everyone is considered equal! Think about the shareholders for a bit :/ (I'm sarcastic, in case it is not clear 😁)
The main problem here is that people flocking to positions of power are often the ones that do it for the wrong reasons. Until that part is sorted out, we will keep having leaders that will enforce things that are best for them and their closest ones. Some form of anarcho-communism would probably help this, but the current globalisation effort will make it very hard to implement. The best thing we can do as individuals is to just improve our social circle, and try to rely on as many local things as possible.

Unfortunately the "us and them thing" is an evolved aspect of human society. It's not possible for humans to get past it because it's literally in our DNA.

If we really can't overcome it somehow, the rest of history is going to be at least as hellish as the past, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Regardless of what you think about Palestinians, it's trivial to see that the Israelis are bad guys in this conflict.
Usually, the world is shades of gray, like with Palestinians, so it's sort of a relief when you can just point to somebody and say, "Well, those guys are clearly the bad guys, and anybody who supports their actions is also bad."

Israel adopted the victim mentality a long time ago. Yes, they were victims of the Holocaust and yes, the world had treated them like shit for thousands of years.
The thing is that they adopted their victimhood unequivocally and then became like the spoiled child who knows how to manipulate their 'parents' to get what they want. And it's worked.
There was a time when Israel at least tried to act like a nation of people who wanted to grow, but since Netanyahu and his right-wing alliances took power Israel has become no better than Hamas -- using genocidal violence to lead.
There's plenty of Jews out there who saw what Israel would have to do in order to reach their goal of being a Jewish state from the beginning and wanted nothing to do with it.
Plenty of Holocaust survivors at the time were very explicitly against the taking of land from a pre-existing population, and understood that to make it a Jewish state you'd need to remove the people there... somehow.
Some Rabbis have even made the argument that even attempting to form Israel in the first place is heretical.
Anti-zionist Jews have been a thing for as long as Zionism has existed.

Do you have an example in mind? Enough people survived that I had assumed this, but then again plenty ended up in Israel as well.
The religious arguments against were definitely a thing, and it took quite a bit of propaganda to get the Sephardis to care either way, since most of the drama was in Europe.
“Because no injustice has been justified by any injustice. Never, under any circumstances, though it was still so horrific and take it from me: Auschwitz was horrific. But Jews like Leon de Winter thus justify the violence against Palestinians or Lebanese and they find Jews who think otherwise traitors. Even my foster brother once literally wrote it to me: Hajo, you're a traitor. Of course that affects me, but the primitive train of thought that is behind it: that you have to repay evil with evil, I find worse. I’d rather be a traitor than a perpetrator of crimes.”
Ben Gurion washed his hands of the Diaspora… As early as a Mapai party conference in December 1942, he said that the tragedy of the European Jews did not ‘directly concern’ them. Those were the words of a leader who was willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of Jews to the idea of a Jewish state.
My sense of betrayal grew. A question surfaced: was this what they died for? My relatives, all those Jews, all those thousands of names on the memorials? Was this horror of a racist, repressive state the result of their deaths?
the world had treated them like shit for thousands of years.
More like just Europe. Pre-Roman Jewish history reads pretty similarly to the history of their neighbors. In the Muslim world some stuff happened, but the religions actually agree on a lot, and I'd guess the other various minorities got it worse. In Christendom they were kind of the only group to punch down at, so it got really bad. The Roman period is complicated, and I'm not sure how much is even recorded about the more far flung diasporas.

Age can be a bad thing when older generations got us here
What exactly does that mean?
I know she wants to stay humble and keep the focus on Palestinian suffering, but it’s important everyone on the flotilla share their experience at the hands of the Israelis.
Every person needs to return to their home country to speak on the depravity of the Israelis and their treatment of foreign nationals to highlight their cruelty and the horrors they inflict upon the population that’s 100% under their control and every whim, who the world has ignored for decades. Of the children held in those same cells deprived of food, water, bedding and often subjected to sexual abuse by both male and female guards.

Readind that article makes me... I don't know. I'm not 'mad', I'm fucking restless. First, the torture, sure. We knew the current* Israeli government is monstrous. (*I don't know about all the previous ones, I'm not versed in Israeli history.) But the response from the Swedish embassy?
And, after all that, what's the response of the world? Similar to the Swedish government response as shown here. Evasive, absolutely unwilling to stand up to the monsters. Being monsters themselves by proxy.
I feel like I must act, but know not what to do. I'm restless. I feel like our world is stuck in some kind of non-Newtonian liquid made of Capital, Hunger for Power and Gutlessness. I feel like I want to round up all those monsters, ship them on an island and make sure there's no way out - have fun amongst yourselves, monsters. I know this isn't realist. I know not what to do. Calling my minister here in Canada doesn't do shit - our government is as gutless as all others. Standing in the street hasn't done much either, nor participating in event in support of Gaza and the wish to put an end to the massacre and torture of a whole people.

Spreading awareness, or donating to content creators and journalists who do so is a great way to help. Politicians only respond to public opinion so public opinion must be changed first.
And know that Greta only underwent a fraction of what Palestinians do in these torture camps.

Really says a lot about the IDF and Israel that they're always so excited to document the horrible things they do. They're taking pictures so they can show other people. They think other Israelis - their friends and family - will be excited to see pictures of someone being treated horribly. Reminds me of Rachel Corrie and how they found her murder so funny they'd make pancakes with her face on it. What kind of person celebrates murder like that, and what kind of society allows such public celebration of it?

Candace Owens: Australia’s high court backs minister’s decision to deny visa to US rightwinger
Home affairs minister’s 2024 decision to reject visa application for planned speaking tour on character grounds upheld
Australia’s high court has unanimously backed the government’s 2024 decision to refuse the rightwing provocateur Candace Owens a visa to enter the country.
The full bench of the court ruled on Wednesday that the minister’s denial did not infringe an implied constitutional freedom of political communication.
Last October the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, refused Owens’ visa application before a planned national speaking tour, arguing that she had the “capacity to incite discord”.
Burke said at the time the US conservative influencer and podcast host, who has advanced conspiracy theories and antisemitic rhetoric – including allegedly minimising Nazi medical experiments in concentration camps – did not pass the “character test” to receive a visa under the Migration Act.

Anticipazioni Uominiedonne 14/10/25. La tronista Sara Gaudenzi frega un corteggiatore a Cristiana Aniana
Approfondiamo le ultime anticipazioni delle nuove registrazioni di Uomini e Donne, che promettono un sorprendente colpo di scena nel trono classico.
#Anticipazioni Uomini e Donne: Sara Gaudenzi conquista un corteggiatore conteso
Martedì 14 ottobre 2025 si sono svolte le recenti registrazioni del popolare dating show di Maria De Filippi, in onda su Canale 5. Le novità riguardano sia il trono classico sia il trono over, portando con sé momenti di tensione e sviluppo nei sentimenti dei protagonisti.
Anticipazioni sulle registrazioni di Uomini e Donne
Durante le registrazioni, Jakub Bakkour è stato nuovamente invitato nello studio. Dopo la sua scelta di eliminarsi nella puntata precedente e la decisione di Cristiana Anania di non inseguirlo, la situazione ha avuto un inaspettato cambio di rotta. Sara Gaudenzi, la nuova tronista del trono classico, ha espresso il desiderio di conoscerlo meglio e lo ha fatto rientrare nel programma. Jakub ha accettato subito, provocando qualche polemica che potrebbe creare rivalità tra le due troniste. Di Flavio Ubirti e delle sue corteggiatrici non è stato fatto alcun accenno durante la registrazione, che si è poi concentrata sui partecipanti del trono over.
#Federico e Agnese: nuovi sviluppi nel trono over
Passando alle storie del trono over, si riapre il capitolo legato a Gemma Galgani. La dama torinese, decisa a farsi valere, è tornata a puntare il dito contro Mario Lenti. Dopo un aspro confronto al centro dello studio, Mario ha rivelato di non desiderare nemmeno un rapporto amichevole con Gemma, criticando la sua incoerenza nell’alternare complimenti e critiche.
Un’altra storia interessante riguarda Federico Mastrostefano, che ha scelto di riprendere il rapporto con Agnese De Pasquale, lasciando da parte la precedente decisione di chiudere ogni possibilità di conoscenza. Secondo le anticipazioni, Federico avrebbe dichiarato di sentirsi coinvolto per circa il 75% nella relazione. La registrazione si è poi conclusa con la prima sfilata femminile di questa edizione, che ha visto Agnese conquistare la vittoria.

Eavesdropping on Internal Networks via Unencrypted Satellites
Major Security Flaws Found in Satellite Communications
Researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Maryland revealed that nearly half of geostationary satellite signals transmit unencrypted data, exposing sensitive communications from telecom networks, military operations, and critical infrastructure1.
Using just $800 in off-the-shelf equipment - a satellite dish, roof mount, motor and tuner card - the team intercepted vast amounts of unprotected data over three years from their San Diego location2. Their findings included:
- T-Mobile cellular network traffic, including over 2,700 phone numbers and one-sided call/text content captured in just 9 hours2
- U.S. military vessel communications and Mexican military/law enforcement data, including helicopter locations and narcotics intelligence2
- Critical infrastructure communications from power grids and offshore oil platforms3
- In-flight WiFi data from 10 different airlines2
"It just completely shocked us. There are some really critical pieces of our infrastructure relying on this satellite ecosystem, and our suspicion was that it would all be encrypted," said Aaron Schulman, UCSD professor who co-led the research2.
After being notified, some companies like T-Mobile quickly added encryption, while others, including certain U.S. critical infrastructure operators, have yet to secure their systems3.
The researchers estimate they accessed only 15% of global satellite transponders from their single location, suggesting the vulnerability's true scope is far larger2. Johns Hopkins professor Matt Green noted: "The fact that this much data is going over satellites that anyone can pick up with an antenna is just incredible"2.

Unencrypted satellites expose global communications
Researchers found nearly half of geostationary satellites leak unencrypted data, exposing consumer, corporate, and military communications.Pierluigi Paganini (Security Affairs)

Inside the Improbable, Audacious and (So Far) Unstoppable Rise of Zohran Mamdani
For months now, Mamdani has been meeting privately with former leaders in city government, business executives, heads of New York arts and cultural institutions and skeptical local Democrats.
He has sought common ground. He has heard out his critics, including wealthy New Yorkers in business and finance and some pro-Israel activists who are turned off by his lifelong advocacy for Palestinians or offended by his reluctance to immediately condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” the use of which he later discouraged.
Robert Wolf, another Partnership for New York City member and a major fund-raiser for the Democratic Party, told me that he has begun texting with the candidate, becoming an informal pulse check for the city’s finance and business community.
“Zohran, to me, is more of a progressive capitalist,” Wolf told me, adding that he was convinced by their private interactions that Mamdani understood the importance of the private sector thriving in his New York.
The conversations have allowed Mamdani to reframe his previous positions, tweaking the us-versus-them language of his democratic-socialist values to be a tad less punitive. He has made it clear that he wants to support renters, not punish landlords. He wants to support public education, not take a hammer to specialized schools with elite admissions. He supports Palestinian rights; he’s not anti-Zionist. He made key concessions when it comes to policing. Importantly, he made clear that he was open to compromise when it came to his proposed millionaires’ tax. Call it Mamdani 2.0.

I know this is from the sooo unbiased nytimes but like, this literally seems like literally shifting into liberalism.
I guess punishing landlords, and anti-Zionism is controversial???
Whatever, I'm not a NYC citizen, I'll let them decide or comment on the other more specific deals.

Fotovoltaico, quale normativa ?
Da quanto ho letto, pare che l'installazione di un impianto fotovoltaico rientri nell'Edilizia libera, a meno che la sede dell'installazione non rientri in aree vincolate o soggette a norme particolari come potrebbero essere i centri storici o aree tutelate. In tal caso, pare occorra una autorizzazione o una dichiarazione certificata. Penso sia bene accertarsi della cosa consultando lo strumento urbanistico del proprio Comune.

Trump is going to be in charge of two of the longest US government shutdowns in history by a long shot. The fact that we can't just kick all the bums out and replace them when this kind of shit happens is a travesty.
I'm betting this will at least be a two month long shutdown if not indefinite shutdown because the Republicans want to break government so badly they're just willing to keep it shutdown at this point.
"We broke the government, which proves government doesn't work, which is why you need to trust us (the people who broke it) to save you from government" has been their whole shtick my entire fucking life.
Cheapest VPN in the long term for watching movies and tv shows?
My country never cared about this, but recently some people started getting fines. I generally pay for my games; I only use ReVanced and watch TV shows online.
What would be the cheapest VPN in the long run for this? As I said, I don't torrent, so port forwarding and stuff like that I don't care about.
There's also antimalware software bundled with the M365 subscription on Amazon; I've been using the VPN from that for a bit now.
Edit: Btw, do you think an antimalware VPN is safe? It's never been a problem (never like the USA, for example) over here in the EU, but recently they started slightly hunting pirates (never heard of anyone I know though). So yeah, maybe a simple VPN may suffice until they decide to go hardcore style?

VPN Comparison 2.0
After making a post about comparing VPN providers, I received a lot of requested feedback. I've implemented most of the ideas I received.
Providers
- AirVPN
- IVPN
- Mozilla VPN
- Mullvad VPN
- NordVPN
- NymVPN
- Private Internet Access (abbreviated PIA)
- Proton VPN
- Surfshark VPN
- Tor (technically not a VPN)
- Windscribe
Notes
- I'm human. I make mistakes. I made multiple mistakes in my last post, and there may be some here. I've tried my best.
- Pricing is sometimes weird. For example, a 1 year plan for Private Internet Access is 37.19€ first year and then auto-renews annually at 46.73€. By the way, they misspelled "annually". AirVPN has a 3 day pricing plan. For the instances when pricing is weird, I did what I felt was best on a case-by-case basis.
- Tor is not a VPN, but there are multiple apps that allow you to use it like a VPN. They've released an official Tor VPN app for Android, and there is a verified Flatpak called Carburetor which you can use to use Tor like a VPN on secureblue (Linux). It's not unreasonable to add this to the list.
- Some projects use different licenses for different platforms. For example, NordVPN has an open source Linux client. However, to call NordVPN open source would be like calling a meat sandwich vegan because the bread is vegan.
- The age of a VPN isn't a good indicator of how secure it is. There could be a trustworthy VPN that's been around for 10 years but uses insecure, outdated code, and a new VPN that's been around for 10 days but uses up-to-date, modern code.
- Some VPNs, like Surfshark VPN, operate in multiple countries. Legality may vary.
- All of the VPNs claim a "no log" policy, but there's some I trust more than others to actually uphold that.
- Tor is special in the port forwarding category, because it depends on what you're using port forwarding for. In some cases, Tor doesn't need port forwarding.
- Tor technically doesn't have a WireGuard profile, but you could (probably?) create one.
Takeaways
- If you don't mind the speed cost, Tor is a really good option to protect your IP address.
- If you're on a budget, NymVPN, Private Internet Access, and Surfshark VPN are generally the cheapest. If you're paying month-by-month, Mullvad VPN still can't be beat.
- If you want VPNs that go out of their way to collect as little information as possible, IVPN, Mullvad VPN, and NymVPN don't require any personal information to use. And Tor, of course.

The free plan is very limited in terms of server locations so it might not be a good option for gaming.
I have some friends who've used Mudfish in the past. It's a tunneling service with a Pay-Per-Traffic mode which is affordable if you only need it occasionally.

How long is “in the long run?” How much can you afford to spend? What country? How many devices?
For what you’re describing it doesn’t seem like places like mullvad or proton are the right choice. Nord is a good way to get past geofencing for decently cheap. Windscribe can also be cheap. Air is cheap if you’re not Italian.
Anti malware VPN services can be okay sometimes, I wouldn’t call them a serious option though because they’re often tied to use of some antimalware suite and may have glaring flaws when used without the rest of that software.

To be fair..
I did the thing where I signed up and got the app and promptly never used it
I don't particularly like short form content (at all) but I was hoping that there'd be some relevant connection between the platforms
I believe they have - announced a few weeks ago.

I think someone told me in another thread a while back discussing loops that at the time it was only like certain libraries and whatnot? I wasn't sure if that was still the case, or if that person was right, or what 🤷♂️
I'm not an especially technical person so I don't really remember details though 😅

it'd be cool if their android app could get updated. and they fix the feed from just showing you the same string of videos constantly.
other than those two things im sure it will be awesome.
I have been doing some uploading there for a few mths. My biggest gripe is that they support 60 second videos, but anything over 15 seconds (for me) never finishes uploading.
I have seen the repeats too though.
I see a lot of these threads praising loops and i have never been able to use it effectively despite my efforts. =( and I have really wanted it to.
I am curious about the length restriction as well. I wonder if these are all things they're going to address and fix. but you'd think they'd have done all that before making announcements and whatnot.
