New York Mayor Eric Adams Signs Executive Orders Prohibiting Mayoral Appointees and Agency Staff From Boycotting and Disinvesting From Israel.
NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today signed two executive orders that will ensure city agencies continue to make sound financial decisions that protect taxpayer dollars and that protect New Yorkers’ right to practice their religion at houses of worship without harassment, while protecting freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.
Executive Order No. 60 prohibits mayoral agency heads, agency chief contracting officers, and any other mayoral appointees with discretion over contracting from engaging in procurement practices that discriminate against the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or those associated with Israel.
The executive order also prohibits the chief pension administrator and mayoral trustees to the city pension system from opposing divestment from bonds and other assets that would discriminate against the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or those associated with Israel.

What are your favourite songs discovered this year?
Spotify Wrapped is on the streets now, but rather than everyone saying what a cold algorithm told them their favourite songs were this year, I'd like to hear what actual people actually think.
So what are your favourite musical discoveries this year? Whether those were brand new songs from 2025, older songs that you only heard for the first time this year, or even songs you re-discovered after years of not hearing them.
Here’s some of mine, in the format of a goofy award show:
Favourite New Song From This Year
- Maybe technically cheating because the band has apparently been playing this song live since at least 2023, but the studio version is from this year.
Favourite New Song Actually From This Year
the thoughts that keep me up at night by Marhly - This one makes me feel old, mostly because the artist is that much younger than me. But there’s something about the anxious lyrics that felt very 2025.
Favourite New Song That Really Made Me Feel Old
- Speaking of artists that are way, way younger than me, we have this song. I’m not sure about the warbly vocals in some places, but it’s upbeat and optimistic (like its says on the tin).
Favourite New Song That Made Me Feel Young
Well, Whatever it Was by Joyce Manor - This song feels like it could have come out when I was in high school, but rather than make me feel my age, it put a spring in my step. I didn’t actually listen to much music back then, so maybe I’ve misestimated my musical eras, but I can’t really shake the feeling.
Favourite New Song by a Band That I Saw Live
- Granted, I only went to one concert this year, but still counts, right? I’m not a huge OLP fan, mostly knowing their songs by osmosis, but hearing this song for the first time made me buy a ticket. It was kind of a rebound concert as I had to miss seeing my favourite band on their farewell tour, but I still enjoyed myself, even if they didn’t play this particular song.
Favourite Rediscovered Song
Tornado of Souls by Megadeth - I used to listen to Rust In Peace quite a bit when I was younger, but I kind forgot about it (and most other metal) for the better part of a decade until a new Megadeth song hit my recommendations. That caused me to go back and listen, and reawaken by appreciation for this song.
Favourite Song Discovered Through Weird Coincidence
- This one randomly came up in my wife’s playlist. Neither of us had heard of the band before, but I figure it had something to do with the Ghost songs that we both like.
Favourite New Cover
Folsom Prison Blues by Sawyer Hill - A heavier take on a Johnny Cash song, my first thought when I heard this was, “Boy, they don’t make them like this any more.” Sawyer Hill has an interesting voice, baritone like Cash but more gravelly. Speaking of which…
Favourite New Song That I Liked Purely for a Single Element
- Do I actually like this song? Is this actually a good song? I don't know, but Mr. Hill has a really interesting voice, so I’m willing to forgive some lyrics that feel a bit too cute. I do understand if his voice drives people away, though; what I’ve gathered is that some people really cannot stand it.
Favourite New Song With the Hardest Hitting Lyric
Troubadour Moon by The Wildhearts - “It’s a bitch when you find out you’re just an ordinary man.” Oof.
Favourite New Song That Really Has Me Hoping the Artist Isn’t Problematic
- I kid (mostly), but it is southern rock. I haven’t found anything problematic about Ms. Fish, thankfully, but I also haven’t dug too far.
Favourite New Song Discovered Through Lemmyvision
Band LIke That by fanclubwallet - I submitted a bunch of songs for my country’s entry in Lemmyvision. None of them got many votes, but I did discover this one submitted by someone else.

How to show file icons by default application in GNOME?
Hi everyone,
I’m using Fedora Linux 43 with GNOME 49. By default, GNOME shows file icons based on the file type, not the application that opens them.
What I’d like to achieve is for file icons to show the icon of the program that is set as the default to open the file—similar to how it works in Windows.
For example, in my screenshot, I have three files that are all opened by the same program by default (VSCodium in this case), but each one has a different icon based on its file type. I’d like them all to show the icon of the program instead.
Is there a way to show file icons based on the default app?
Thanks in advance!
This isn't a GNOME-specific thing as other DEs also display files by their file type. It's all defined by the icon theme.
I'm not sure if there exists an icon theme that replaces the unique filetype icons with specific application icons, but if such a thing does exist, that could be a solution.
You could also edit the icon theme you're using yourself too, if you're feeling adventurous. Using the Papirus icon theme, on my system the image representing a python text file is located in /usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/mimetypes/text-x-python.svg. I could replace that image with anything. I'm not sure why I'd want to do that, but if you really want to replace all these images with an image of VSCodium no one's gonna stop you.
Maybe there's a script that does this automatically? If such a thing exists, it'll probably follow the steps I just mentioned.

A New Anonymous Phone Carrier Lets You Sign Up With Nothing but a Zip Code
Nicholas Merrill received a hand delivered National Security Letter from the FBI in 2004, ordering him to give up data on one of his customers.
Merrill opened it and read the letter while the agent waited. The first and second paragraphs told him he was hereby ordered to hand over virtually all information he possessed for one of his customers, identified by their email address, explaining that this demand was authorized by a law he’d later learn was part of the Patriot Act.
The third paragraph informed him he couldn’t tell anyone he’d even received this letter—a gag order.
He then fought a landmark, decade-plus legal battle against the FBI and the Department of Justice. As the owner of an internet service provider in the post-9/11 era, Merrill had received a secret order from the bureau to hand over data on a particular user—and he refused. He refused and won.
After that, he spent another 15 years building and managing the Calyx Institute, a nonprofit that offers privacy tools like a snooping-resistant version of Android and a free VPN that collects no logs of its users’ activities.
Now the completely anonymous phone service. The full article is worth the read.

NHS doctor suspended over alleged antisemitic social media posts
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) said Dr Aladwan's posts "may impact on patient confidence" in both her and the profession, while patients could be "discouraged" from seeking treatment from her.
Dr Aladwan, who is British Palestinian, denies making racist or hate speech.
Her lawyer told the tribunal there was "no evidence" that her activities have had "any impact on patient safety or her ability to fulfil her duties as a doctor".
Dr Aladwan's suspension will take effect from today and will be reviewed within six months.
In the tribunal's ruling, it said it "notes that there is no information to suggest that any patient complaints have been raised or that any patients have come to harm".
Responding to the tribunal's ruling on X, Dr Aladwan said: "Let this decision stand as the definitive proof that there is no independent British medical regulation. The 'Israeli' and Jewish lobby decide who can and cannot practise medicine in Britain."

Well, it's Lemmy, so immediately we get tribal responses from both sides of two sides of a conflict that would do exactly the same thing to each other if they had the chance.
She compared Israel to Nazis and holocaust
She doxxed a former colleague on socal media. There were multiple complaints from her colleagues and the public.
She celebrated an attack on a Manchester Synagogue.
"outlined a large number of Dr Aladwan’s posts which she submitted involve social media activity which allegedly justifies terrorism, denies sexual violence, includes antisemitic conspiracy theories, misuses Holocaust and Nazi imagery and expresses support for proscribed groups and terrorist acts including the Al-Aqsa flood (the name Hamas gave to its large-scale surprise attack on Israel on
07/10/2023)."
There is a long list of infractions, but the general theme is that she was not only anti Israel, but blamed all Jews worldwide, Jews control the media, etc. etc.
Exact quote: ‘May God…gather you with the Jews, the killers of children, in the fire".
Overall, it goes on for pages outlining a toxic person who has gone off the deep end and has lost any professional composure. The response from her lawyer is basically, "Did not...did not.. did not..."
so immediately we get tribal responses from both sides
Good thing you're providing the defense of Israel since nobody else on Lemmy is willing to do that.

NYPD boss Jessica Tisch’s brother calls Zohran Mamdani ‘enemy’ of Jewish people in speech
The brother of the Big Apple’s top cop called mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani an “enemy” of Jewish people during a fiery charity dinner speech where he railed about the future of the city.
Benjamin Tisch — younger brother of police Commissioner Jessica Tisch — was presenting an award Wednesday evening during the Met Council’s annual holiday dinner when the top exec at the Loews Corporation skewered the radical DSA lawmaker, according to sources.
The comments come just weeks after Jessica Tisch accepted an offer from the Mamdani to stay on as police commissioner — despite being far apart on a number of issues, including bail reform, raise the age and Israel.
The Tisch family, excluding Jessica, spent millions during the mayoral election to back Mamdani’s top foe, Andrew Cuomo, in an attempt to stave off the socialist mayor.

Hardware resources usage over time ?
Hi,
I'm looking for a FLOSS way to have hardware resources usage ( cpu, mem, storage, network, etc.. ) over time ?
Any lightweight solution suggestion ?
It can be TUI or GUI ( XFCE )
It could be nice also to can filter result/graph by process, user etc..
Thanks
Here's an actual answer, a system monitor with historical data: beszel.dev/
It's a webUI but that shouldn't really matter vs an app with its own GUI.

Nightreign on Mint is really framey compared to Windows
Posting here because I don't know any other decent communities to ask.
I'm running Mint on a fairly beefy PC that was top spec in 2022. I started with Windows then added another SSD for Linux. I went with Mint but overall I've found games to be a bit lackluster on here.
The main one is Elden Ring: Nightreign. It runs buttery smooth on Windows, but on the same PC using Linux it gets a little choppy and almost unplayable if I'm in a round with others.
I've noticed other issues like Arc Raiders is meant to work well on Linux but was an unplayable mess for me.
I'm just doing everything through Steam so nothing weird or hacky going on, I have a laptop with Bazzite I use to get games from Myabandonware running and it has been fine by comparison.
Are there any extra programs or dependencies I should download? Or should I just switch to Bazzite given I'm gaming and running a Nvidia card? I got into Linux after building this PC so I didn't know AMD was better for Linux at the time. Building this PC showed me how to install an OS on a computer so it was the start of the rabbithole for me in a way.
I know there isn't a lot of details on specs here, but I'm more wondering if there's anything more I should do on a non-gaming focused distro or if it's easier to just switch.

Pentagon announces it has killed four men in another boat strike in Pacific
The latest strike was the first in nearly three weeks. It comes as the Pentagon and the White House have struggled to answer questions about the legal basis for the campaign to kill suspected drug smugglers with military strikes, with US lawmakers promising to investigate the first such attack, in September, in which two survivors clinging to wreckage were killed in a follow-on strike.Hegseth has faced increasing scrutiny over the 2 September strike following a report from the Washington Post that the defense secretary had verbally directed the military to "kill them all". On Thursday, a Democratic lawmaker introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth, pointing to the boat strike and a report that found he broke rules by sharing information about an attack on Signal, but such an effort is unlikely to succeed.
