Thousands of Unexploded Bombs Dropped by Israel Have Turned Gaza into a Minefield
Oct 31, 2025
The next day, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) called attention to the incident. “Yesterday, five children were reportedly injured, two of them very seriously, while encountering unexploded ordnance in rubble near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza,” the group said in a statement. “Following the ceasefire in Gaza, the explosive ordnance threat remains. As hundreds of thousands of displaced people and humanitarian personnel are on the move, the risk of encountering explosive ordnance increases.”UNMAS had documented at least 52 Palestinians killed and 267 wounded by explosive ordnance in Gaza since October 2023.

How can i legally buy a game for a child?
Terraria is on sale and i thought i'd buy a copy for my kid brother. But then i thought i should actually read the user agreement and privacy policy before i tell him to make an account. Turns out people younger than 16 can't own accounts, and i can't just buy a copy for him on my account because i'm already going to buy a copy for my account (i currently have the Steam version but want the game sans DRM).
So if i want to get him this game, should i make an account in his name but keep control of it until he's older? Is there some better legal option here?

Especially in France, the industry is very innovative. Here are some of the wind-powered cargo ship companies:
- Néoline (based in Nantes), one ship (which we see on the video), more are yet to come
- Vela (based in Bayonne), 5 ships are expected to be launched between 2026 and 2028
- TOWT (based in Le Havre), 2 ships since 2024, 6 more are being built
- Windcoop (based in Marseille), expected launch of their first ship in 2027
- Grain de Sail (based in Saint-Malo), 3 ships, their chocolate is delicious
some other names, though I don’t know as much about >them: Hisseo, Fairtransport, Bourlingue et Pacotille, Heol SailingIf you want to see their respective sizes, here’s a diagram showing the ships side by side with a famous sail ship (the Bélem) and the famous cargo that blocked the Suez Canal, the Evergiven

Climate change to drive U.S. migration, change regional makeup | Jon Talton
With an administration committed to ignoring climate change, it's time for rational people in Seattle to prepare for a coming influx of people in search of lower temperatures, Jon Talton writes.The Seattle Times
More Mexicans are moving up here to California and making things unaffordable.
More Californians are moving up here to Washington and making things unaffordable.
More Washington Residents are moving up here to Alaska and making things unaffordable.
More climate refugees are moving up here and goddamn it, I just wanted to live damn it, if only I had pushed for climate reform policies instead of blaming a particular group of people as the other/outsider.

When Democrat politicians/appointees/whatever "give up", its sad and disgusting because there's usually no real rea$on to.
When Magats do it, its friggen hillarious, because their goals are both stupid and ea$y, but they failed to consult their sponsors and are just incompetent in general.

Recommend that new users join geographically local instances
There is perennial discussion about what fediverse servers (Lemmy or otherwise) to recommend to new users. I have a proposal, perhaps not very original but I haven't seen it made often.
Let's just recommend that newbies pick an instance that is located close to them geographically. That's to say: their country, their region, or (ideally) their town.
Some context. Personally, I am not totally sold on social media, federated or otherwise. The evidence is now pretty clear that it causes major social harms. One way it does this is by fuelling polarization around hot-button national and international debates, at the expense of local issues. Reviving democracy is going to mean boosting communities at a local level. This could be a small way to do that.

November 1925
Our look at some of the significant happenings 100 years ago this month.
3. Alfred Hitchcock’s directorial debut film, The Pleasure Garden, was released.
10. Born. Richard Burton, actor, in Pontrhydyfen, Wales (d.1984)
11. Howard Carter and an autopsy team began the unwrapping of the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The process was exceedingly difficult due to the extreme fragility of the bandages and the resinous coating that held the mummy fast inside the sarcophagus.
11. Born. June Whitfield, British actress, in Streatham, London (d.2018)
12. Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five recorded their first songs together for Okeh Records. These recordings were among the most important and influential in the development of jazz music.
19. The autopsy of Tutankhamun concluded. The bad condition of the body and limited forensic science of the 1920s meant that little could be determined other than the age of the body being estimated to be about eighteen.
24. Born. William F Buckley Jr, American journalist, author and commentator (d.2008)
27. Born. Ernie Wise, comedian, in Bramley, Leeds, England (d.1999)

Russia Expands Bans on ‘Coercing’ Women Into Abortions to 27th Region
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44938574
ArchivedTwo Siberian regions have become the 26th and 27th Russian regions to adopt legislation this week banning the “coercion” of pregnant women into terminating a pregnancy amid efforts by conservative figures to expand state pressure to boost birth rates.
The neighboring Kemerovo region and Altai republic adopted laws Monday and Tuesday banning “persuasion, requests, offers, deception, bribery or other actions” aimed at encouraging a woman to have an abortion.
[...]
Officials say the measure is designed to “protect pregnant women in a situation of reproductive choice” and improve demographic trends.
Both laws take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.
The initiatives are backed by the pro-life Orthodox-aligned foundation Women for Life, which launched a chatbot encouraging women to report relatives, partners or medical workers who “advised” them to terminate a pregnancy.

La rinascita del mercato comunale in via Rombon
Quella di via Rombon 24, infatti, è una delle 15 strutture conferite dal Comune a Sogemi che, con questo progetto si pone tre obiettivi: «Riqualificare gli ambienti, creare luoghi di incontro per la comunità e garantire ai cittadini l’accesso a prodotti freschi e di qualità». All’interno, il bar targato Giannasi (quello del pollo), la pescheria Pedol (presenza storica al mercato di piazza Wagner), il negozio di NaturaSì e la libreria Mondadori.

Winter Is Coming, and We Are Still Without Shelter
The cold winds have already started to blow, and winter is on our doorstep. Yet, we are still living out in the open, without enough warmth or protection.
We desperately need your help to buy the remaining essentials — a proper tent, food, gas, and warm winter clothes.
It breaks my heart to see my family shivering from the cold, especially the little ones. No one deserves to face winter like this.
Please, if you can, help us stay warm and safe this winter. Even a small act of kindness can mean everything to us. 💔

FCC to rescind ruling that said ISPs are required to secure their networks
Oh, for fuck's sake. Heaven forbid anything sensible survives.
The Federal Communications Commission will vote in November to repeal a ruling that requires telecom providers to secure their networks, acting on a request from the biggest lobby groups representing Internet providers.FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the ruling, adopted in January just before Republicans gained majority control of the commission, “exceeded the agency’s authority and did not present an effective or agile response to the relevant cybersecurity threats.” Carr said the vote scheduled for November 20 comes after “extensive FCC engagement with carriers” who have taken “substantial steps… to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.”
The FCC’s January 2025 declaratory ruling came in response to attacks by China, including the Salt Typhoon infiltration of major telecom providers such as Verizon and AT&T. The Biden-era FCC found that the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), a 1994 law, “affirmatively requires telecommunications carriers to secure their networks from unlawful access or interception of communications.”
“The Commission has previously found that section 105 of CALEA creates an affirmative obligation for a telecommunications carrier to avoid the risk that suppliers of untrusted equipment will ‘illegally activate interceptions or other forms of surveillance within the carrier’s switching premises without its knowledge,'” the January order said. “With this Declaratory Ruling, we clarify that telecommunications carriers’ duties under section 105 of CALEA extend not only to the equipment they choose to use in their networks, but also to how they manage their networks.”
