PAS EN NOTRE NOM
Des Juives et des Juifs de #Belgique dénoncent les crimes d’Israël et l’inaction européenne
Juives et Juifs de Belgique, nous sommes profondément attaché·es aux valeurs humanistes héritées de notre histoire. C’est au nom de ces valeurs que nous exprimons notre indignation face aux souffrances infligées en ce moment par l’État d’Israël au peuple palestinien.

Romanian expats targeted by inauthentic TikTok videos, pushing populist candidates ahead of Sunday’s Romanian election
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/34664325
ArchivedAhead of the Romanian presidential election runoff on Sunday 18th May, Refute has uncovered a widespread international influence operation targeting Romanian expat voters on TikTok.
The campaign includes inauthentic—in some cases, AI generated—videos deliberately targeting locations with high Romanian expat populations across Europe.
Refute detected approximately 32,500 videos on TikTok containing slogans promoting populist candidate George Simion and annulled candidate Calin Georgescu. Many of these videos are inauthentic, such as videos that have been duplicated in a coordinated manner across dozens of accounts.
Despite the fact that only 24% of Romanian nationals live outside of Romania, 48% of engagement with these videos (40 million likes and comments) came from outside Romania. Countries outside of Romania with the greatest share of engagement were the UK (15%), Italy (7%), Germany (7%), Spain (5%) and France (2%).
“The fact that nearly half of engagement with videos pushing populist candidates comes from outside of Romania—twice the percentage of Romanians living abroad—indicates that Romanian expat voters are being disproportionately targeted to manipulate the election rerun." -- - Vlad Galu, Refute co-founder and CTO and Romanian native[...]
“We’ve already seen the use of influencers and bot farms in the November 2024 election, but this is a new example of a sophisticated influence operation crossing international boundaries to sway Romanian voters living abroad,” added Tom Garnett, Refute co-founder and CEO.
“Refute’s platform uses learnings from behaviours observed in last year’s election to automatically score and predict coordinated and inauthentic behaviour with unmatched speed and accuracy.”
[...]
The November 2024 Romanian presidential election was annulled due to alleged foreign interference, which is thought to have contributed to the success of first round winner George Simion, as well as continued support for the banned candidate Calin Georgescu.

Home-casting Thermoelectric Alloys
If you want to convert heat into electrical power, it’s hard to find a simpler method than a thermoelectric generator. The Seebeck effect means that the junction of two dissimilar conductors will produce a voltage potential when heated, but the same effect also applies to certain alloys, even without a junction. [Simplifier] has been trying to find the best maker-friendly thermoelectric alloys, and recently shared the results of some extensive experimentation.
The experiments investigated a variety of bismuth alloys, and tried to determine the effects of adding lead, antimony, tin, and zinc. [Simplifier] mixed together each alloy in an electric furnace, cast it into a cylindrical mold, machined the resulting rod to a uniform length, and used tin-bismuth solder to connect each end to a brass electrode. To test each composition, one end of the cylinder was cooled with ice while the other was held in boiling water, then resistance was measured under this known temperature gradient. According to the Wiedemann-Franz law, this was enough information to approximate the metal’s thermal conductivity.
This project is a great deal more accessible for an amateur than previous thermoelectric material research we’ve covered, and a bit more efficient than another home project we’ve seen. If you just want to get straight to power generation, check out this project.

The image shows a Lenovo laptop lying on a wooden table. The laptop is positioned with its side facing the camera, allowing a clear view of its ports. From left to right, the ports visible are an HDMI port, a USB-C port, and a headphone jack. The Lenovo logo is visible on the top left corner of the laptop's lid. The background is slightly blurred, showing a conference room setting with a table and some office equipment. The lighting is soft, suggesting natural light coming from a window.

The image shows a laptop screen displaying the Google homepage. The screen is open to a web browser with the URL "google.com/webhp?hl=ru" visible in the address bar. The Google logo is prominently displayed in its characteristic colors: blue, red, yellow, and green. Below the logo, there is a search bar with a microphone icon on the right, indicating voice search functionality. The text "Google Search" and "I'm Feeling Lucky" are visible beneath the search bar. The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with links to "About," "Advertising," "Business," and "How Search works." The laptop is placed on a wooden surface, and the background suggests an indoor setting with tables and chairs, possibly a café or a library. The time displayed in the bottom right corner is 5:17 PM.
