Surprised to see so many people on Lemmy in favour of social media. It's horrendous for everybody, adults and children alike. I don't think kids should be on there.
Usually for things like this, I'd be fine with parents handling it and controlling their own kids' access. But social media is too pervasive, you'd turn your kid into an outcast if they didn't have it when 96% of their peers did.

[Article] Floating pavilion that rises with the river tides opens in Brazil
It’s been a productive year for Carlo Ratti Associati, an Italian architectural firm known for blending man-made construction with natural environments. The company recently unveiled a sophisticated mountain shelter that will soon find its permanent location in the Italian Alps. Now, CRA has collaborated with American creative studio Höweler + Yoon and Italian steel construction company Cimolai on a new experiment. The result of their five-month effort is a 400-square-meter (4,306-sq-ft) floating plaza – AquaPraça.

Which doesn't include people who will never buy the game because of the Secure Boot requirement in the first place. That said, "gamers" are known to suckers so it's not surprising that players complain while bending over and taking it.

College freshman is deported flying home for Thanksgiving surprise, despite court order
A college freshman trying to fly from Boston to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving was instead deported to Honduras in violation of a court order, according to her attorney.
Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, 19, had already passed through security at Boston Logan International Airport on Nov. 20 when she was told there was an issue with her boarding pass, said attorney Todd Pomerleau. The Babson College student was then detained by immigration officials and within two days, sent to Texas and then Honduras, the country she left at age 7.
The day after Lopez Belloza was arrested, a federal judge issued an emergency order prohibiting the government from moving her out of Massachusetts or the United States for at least 72 hours. ICE did not respond to an email Friday from The Associated Press seeking comment about violating that order. Babson College also did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Indian fighter jet crashes during a demo flight at Dubai Air Show, killing the pilot
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The pilot of an Indian combat plane died after the aircraft crashed Friday during a demonstration flight for spectators at the Dubai Air Show, the Indian Air Force said.
The Indian HAL Tejas, a combat aircraft used in the Indian Air Force, crashed around 2:10 p.m. local time after the pilot had flown across the site of the biennial air show in Dubai several times.
The plane appeared to lose control and dive directly toward the ground just prior to crashing inside the grounds of the airfield.
Tejas is India’s indigenous fighter aircraft, built by state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. The lightweight, single-engine jet is expected to bolster India’s depleted fighter fleet as China expands its military presence in South Asia, including by strengthening defense ties with India’s rival Pakistan.
The Indian government signed a deal with HAL in 2021 for 83 Tejas aircraft. Deliveries, expected last year, have been delayed largely because of shortages of engines that must be imported from the United States.

Germany to classify date rape drugs as weapons to ensure justice for survivors
Germany plans to treat the use of date rape drugs like the use of weapons in prosecutions as part of measures to ensure justice for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
“We classify date rape drugs, which are increasingly used as a widespread tool in crimes, as weapons. This creates the basis for significantly stricter prosecutions,” Alexander Dobrindt, the interior minister, said on Friday. “We are committed to clear consequences and consistent enforcement. Women should feel safe and be able to move freely everywhere.”
Nearly 54,000 women and girls were the victims of sexual offences in Germany in 2024 – an increase of 2.1% on the previous year – of which nearly 36% were victims of rape and sexual assault.

1. These drugs are around also, you know, for sick people who need them. It is the case of my mom who has multi sclerosis and the only pain killer effective on her is known as a rape drug.
2. Chemical submission can be achieved with a wide range of things, most commonly use it probably alcohol, regular drinks such as wine and beer. Attempting chemical submission with those shouldn't fly under the radar of justice!
3. I think it would be much more effective to amend the law in order for all cases of chemicals submission (with or without rape) and rapes to be brought to justice
4. A big issue that is ignored with this proposal is, victims often don't report the aggression or don't complete the full procedure. Police and Justice system personnel must be better trained about these cases of rape and rape with chemical submission in order for the victims to be able to report their aggression without feeling judgement or shame through out the entire process, from the police report until the conclusion of the court.
Palestinian group praises Nakba exhibit coming to Canadian Human Rights while Jewish organization pans move
A new exhibit recounting personal experiences of Palestinian Canadians who fled or were forced from their homes in 1948 is coming to Winnipeg next year, but one Jewish organization is pulling out of its partnerships with the museum over concerns the programming might not reflect important context.
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) announced a series of upcoming exhibits this week, including "Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present," which will open to visitors in June 2026.
“Kudos to the museum for having the courage to tell the story and not because they're favouring the Palestinians or the Israelis," said Ramsey Zeid, president of the Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba.
"This is a human rights story that really needs to be shared."
like this
Looks like the majority of Jewish organizations consulted on this supported the Nakba exhibit, it was just the squeaky wheel who got the attention.
It's a bold claim that a museum thought up by a famously Jewish head of a media empire to feature stuff about Jewish people and funded in part by the efforts of his Jewish sister is somehow not about Jewish people.
This is funnier if you know about the museum guides who had to censor their tours for groups who only wanted a tasting menu of human rights. To only learn about the people they think deserve rights and skip the rest, like those damned women and gays.
Docker setup for debian 13 trixie Ansible Playbook
Hello,
Does anyone have by any chance an ansible playbook to setup docker on a debian trixie?
This is my first experience with Ansible, i thought this would be easy and straightforward. I used existing ones for debian 12 as template and yes, with ai, and taking things from other templates, i am trying to make this work. but for the life of me, i cannot crack this.
i began with the most simple steps:

the target server has only root. so no user confusion there. yes, i know. bad practice. but its a learning exercise and its a lxc within my home network not internet exposed.

‘Witkoff needs a psychiatrist’: Europeans fume at Trump’s plan to profit from frozen Russian assets
Diplomats and officials react with outrage to new details of the U.S. peace plan, warning it could wreck their efforts to help Ukraine survive the war.
Donald Trump has hurled a wrench into one of the most sensitive negotiations currently under way in Europe, potentially derailing efforts to help fund Ukraine to stay in the fight against Russia.
For months European Union officials have been trying — and failing — to work out a way to use around €140 billion of immobilized Russian state assets held largely in Belgium to support Kyiv’s war effort. The cash is desperately needed as Ukraine is at risk of running out of money early next year.
Talks in Brussels are now at an extremely delicate stage, diplomats said, as top officials try to finesse a legal text that would enable the frozen funds to be used for a loan to the Ukrainian government.
like this
I feel this is where the coalition of the willing as the dubbed it, need to step up and say "fuck this", find a solution for the frozen assets, establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine and put the US under pressure to stop being a little bitch and continue the intel support.
That being said, without US sanctions and support this would become exponentially harder to do.

The strategy is to raise prices and get more sales at the same time... That is literally it. Not even picking "high value" versus "high volume", just a declaration that we can do both. If this genius plan doesn't work, it's just because the sales people failed to execute against his brilliant strategy well enough.

think about it: if your job is to take any info and transform it, that's one thing; but when you have to create/move/repair/touch anything irl, it becomes exponentially more expensive via robotics and the returns are poor compared to the investments.
I think there's a concerted reason we're not seeing it attack these positions more outwardly - being that these same people are the decision makers. Eliminating their workers is an easy decision to make, eliminating their own position won't even be considered.

So, there may actually be a time when a corporation's Board decides to use an "AI" as their CEO to cut costs.
