#Maine #CoolingCenters: Find a spot near you

As temperatures rise, communities across Maine open cooling centers to keep residents safe from the elements.

AUGUSTA, Maine — "Summer has arrived in Maine, bringing rising temperatures and longer days. But when the heat becomes dangerous or oppressive, community cooling centers help support those who need an escape from the heat and humidity.

"The centers are often located in public spaces, such as recreation centers or libraries. They typically open for short-term purposes.

"While the primary purpose is to save lives by getting people out of potentially dangerous heat conditions, cooling centers may also provide charging stations, showers, or food.

"The latest listings for cooling centers are on the Maine Emergency Management Agency's [#MEMA] website. We've included a roundup here as well as additional resources to help you stay safe this summer when temperatures rise.

What are the risks?

"According to the Maine Emergency Management Agency, heat-related illnesses in the state more often occur when temperatures reach the mid-80s or higher.

“Heat-related illnesses, like heat exhaustion or heat stroke, happen when the body is not able to properly cool itself,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “While the body normally cools itself by sweating, during extreme heat, this might not be enough. In these cases, a person's body temperature rises faster "

En la imagen, un hombre se encuentra de pie en el techo de un coche blanco, bajo un cielo azul despejado. El hombre está sin camisa, con jeans y gafas de sol, y sostiene una botella de cerveza en su mano derecha. Su postura es relajada, con una mano en el bolsillo. En el techo del coche, además de la botella, hay una camiseta blanca y una prenda gris. Al fondo, se puede ver una gran masa de árboles verdes, lo que sugiere un entorno al aire libre, posiblemente en un día soleado.

"Place of the Eels by Christopher Tobin honours Parramatta - or Burramatta - as the home of the eels.

This year’s NAIDOC theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy' reflects on the Dharug people's enduring knowledge systems and the importance of passing their stories on.

Tobin explains that the ‘barra’ (eel) was an important food source for the local Baramadagal. Each Autumn, the lagoons around Parramatta provided abundant food as mature eels prepared for their 5,000km journey to the Coral Sea to give birth to the next generation. These seasonal gatherings drew Aboriginal groups from across the region together to share knowledge, celebrate culture, and build a legacy."

Is anyone discussing this in #London?

Light pollution has risen in recent years, mainly due to urban expansion, the proliferation of artificial lighting and the use of LED technologies, which allows to emit more light at the same cost. Artificial lights at night disturb many diurnal and nocturnal species alike, causing disruptions in dark-light cycles and reproductive, foraging and orientation behavior, among other issues.

Lighting at night also impacts human health, such as by disrupting people's sleep cycles. However, debates around public lighting tend to be "all or nothing"—with residents' needs on one side and those of biodiversity on the other—and revolve around urban lighting being turned off.

It's becoming increasingly clear is that the right wing of this Supreme Court is extreme even among federal courts. The district courts and appellate courts keep appropriately halting this shit, expressing appropriate outrage, and trying to hold the line. Then SCOTUS blows it all up.

Das Bild zeigt eine kosmische Szene mit einem bunten Nebel, der in verschiedenen Farben wie Rot, Pink, Gelb, Grün und Blau leuchtet. Im Zentrum des Bildes befindet sich ein dichter, weißer Nebel, der an ein Sternenfeld erinnert. Der Nebel scheint sich auszubreiten und ist von den leuchtenden Farben des Hintergrunds umgeben. Im Hintergrund sind weitere, kleinere weiße Punkte zu sehen, die an Sterne erinnern. Die Farben des Nebels sind lebendig und kontrastieren stark mit dem dunklen Hintergrund, was eine beeindruckende und mystische Atmosphäre erzeugt.

Das Bild zeigt eine abstrakte Darstellung mit einem warmen, leuchtenden Hintergrund in Rot- und Orangetönen, der von einem zentralen, hellgelben Bereich durchzogen wird. Viele kleine, weiße und rote Schneeflocken scheinen aus dem Zentrum herauszusprühen und sich in alle Richtungen zu verteilen. Die Schneeflocken sind unterschiedlich groß und haben eine feine, kristalline Struktur, die an echte Schneeflocken erinnert. Der Hintergrund wechselt sanft von einem dunkleren Rot am Rand zu einem helleren Gelb im Zentrum, was eine warme und einladende Atmosphäre schafft. Die Schneeflocken sind dichter am Zentrum und werden spärlicher, je weiter sie sich von der Mitte entfernen.

Das Bild zeigt eine abstrakte, surreale Landschaft mit einer Mischung von Farben und Texturen. Die dominierenden Farben sind tiefblaue und violette Töne, die sich in verschiedenen Intensitäten über das Bild verteilen. Weiß und hellblau schweben in Formen, die an Nebel oder Wolken erinnern, über die Oberfläche, wodurch ein Gefühl von Tiefe und Dimension entsteht. Die Textur erinnert an felsige Oberflächen, die in verschiedenen Schattierungen von Blau und Violett dargestellt sind. In der Mitte des Bildes scheint ein Lichtstrahl zu durchdringen, der die Farben um sich herum beleuchtet und eine Art Portal oder Öffnung suggeriert. Die Farben und Texturen vermitteln ein Gefühl von mystischer Schönheit und unendlicher Tiefe.

Israel threatened to kill wives and children of Iranian generals if they refused to leave Iran


People working for Israel’s security services who speak Persian, Iran’s primary language, called senior Iranian officials on their cellphones and warned them that they, too, would die unless they ceased supporting the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, according to the three people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss clandestine operations. One of them estimated that more than 20 Iranians in positions of power were contacted.

The Washington Post obtained an audio recording and transcript of one such call, which took place the same day, June 13, that Israel began its bombardment of Iran.

“I can advise you now, you have 12 hours to escape with your wife and child. Otherwise, you’re on our list right now,” an Israeli intelligence operative told a senior Iranian general close to the country’s rulers, according to the audio recording. The operative then suggested that Israel could train weapons on the general and his family at any moment. “We’re closer to you than your own neck vein. Put this in your head. May God protect you,” he said.

At the top, the words "losers of the Civil War & Cold War" are prominently displayed, with "Civil War" and "Cold War" in larger font sizes. Below this, the phrase "got together for revenge" is written in a larger, bold font, with "FOR REVENGE" being the most prominent. The text "Recently losers of the Apartheid Boycott added money & grievances to the pile" is positioned at the bottom, with "losers of the Apartheid Boycott" in a larger font size.

The glass is held above a blue above-ground pool, which is surrounded by a wooden fence and some outdoor furniture, including a blue chair. The pool water is clear and blue, reflecting the surroundings. The hand appears to be in a residential backyard setting, with trees visible in the background. The focus is on the glass and the pool, with the hand and the pool brush being the main subjects.

Donald Trump will be remembered as a uniquely unqualified and terrible President.

What was all this for? You destroyed whatever shred of credibility the U.S. retained with other nations. You demonstrated that Israel, in particular Benjamin Netanyahu, dictates U.S. foreign policy. Iran's nuclear program was not destroyed, and they will likely decide to ramp it up and build nuclear weapons.

Truly unhinged and disconnected from basic humanity.

Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?


Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?

Dear all

I have deleted Onedrive and disabled File system access in Privacy.

  1. I would like to know, which other ways that my personal files could be uploaded in a non-malicious non-hacker way?
  2. Just by using Windows, Microsoft could upload all my personal files to themselves if they would?
  3. Does every installed App / software have full access to my whole drive? How can I found out, how much access it has?

Thank you for your interest and reply

Best regards


@Rikudou_Sage@lemmy.world

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).

Yes, in theory any program, including Windows itself, could upload data to the Internet if not blocked.

Windows can be restricted by a network firewall. Programs can be restricted by filesystem permissions and the OS firewall, and not running them as admin.

But is this happening? Unlikely, unless you have malware. You can inspect your traffic.

in reply to catloaf

can you explain how to do this?

steam games for example are nearly impossible to run without admin, can I restrict filesystem permissions for these software?

in reply to Holeheadou92984

As for restricting access to files you could run them under a separate user account. User A shouldn't have access to User B's home folder. Although if its something that would need granted admin access I think it would have access to other users files again.
in reply to reddeadhead

thanks

does this mean software with admin privilege only have access to user folder not root folder of C drive?

in reply to Holeheadou92984

Things with admin privilege have access to everything. If it is only user-privileged, it only has access to what that user was granted access to.

Well, that is fair. Those anti-cheats are in user-land on not-windows. Don't think I have given admin permissions to any game, including those with Easy Anti-Cheat, etc.

I'm still surprised Microsoft allows those to exist. Particularly for something as mundane as games.
