At Gerasimov’s briefing, Russia proudly showed off its “map of victories.” But a closer look against realistic maps reveals the trick: Moscow simply colors in the grey zone as if fully captured. A victory by crayons, not on the battlefield.

31 agosto, Giornata internazionale di sensibilizzazione sull'overdose: in Europa preoccupa la cocaina
L' #overdose continua a mietere migliaia di vittime in Europa, sottolineando la necessità di un'azione urgente. La Giornata internazionale di sensibilizzazione sull'overdose (organizzata dal 2012 dall'ente australiano no-profit per la salute pubblica, il Penington Institute) cade il 31 agosto. L'agenzia europea per le droghe, l' #EUDA, segnala a riguardo la sua risorsa on-line sui decessi indotti da droghe in Europa, evidenziando la portata della crisi e identifica la cocaina, i nuovi oppioidi sintetici (nitazeni) e il consumo combinato di più sostanze come principali preoccupazioni.
In tutta l'UE, l'overdose rimane una delle principali cause di morte prevenibili tra i consumatori di droghe. Nel 2023, oltre 7.500 persone nell'UE hanno perso la vita per overdose, cifra che sale a circa 8.100 se si includono Turchia e Norvegia. In particolare, quattro vittime su cinque erano uomini, la maggior parte dei quali tra la fine dei trent'anni e l'inizio dei quarant'anni. Gli oppioidi sono stati coinvolti in oltre due terzi dei decessi indotti da droghe in Europa, sebbene i modelli nazionali varino. I decessi correlati al fentanil e ai suoi derivati sono rimasti stabili nel 2023, con alcuni casi collegati a farmaci derivati piuttosto che a fentanil illegale.
La cocaina è stata coinvolta in oltre un quarto dei decessi indotti da droghe nei 20 paesi che hanno fornito dati sia per il 2022 che per il 2023, con numeri in aumento da 956 nel 2022 a 1.051 nel 2023. In alcuni paesi, la cocaina è stata segnalata in percentuali più elevate di decessi indotti da droghe rispetto al resto d'Europa, tra cui Portogallo (65%), Spagna (60%) e Germania (30%). L'evidenza di un consumo di più sostanze era comune, con gli oppioidi presenti in molti decessi correlati alla cocaina.
Gli oppioidi nitazenici sono stati collegati a epidemie di avvelenamento localizzate in tutta Europa, in particolare in Estonia e Lettonia. In Estonia, i decessi indotti da droghe sono balzati da 82 casi nel 2022 a 119 nel 2023, con i nitazeni implicati in oltre la metà (52%) di questi decessi. La Lettonia ha registrato un aumento ancora più marcato, da 63 decessi nel 2022 a 154 nel 2023, con i nitazeni presenti in due terzi (66%) dei casi.
Si evidenzia anche il ruolo dei farmaci nei decessi per poliassunzione, con benzodiazepine rilevate in oltre un terzo dei casi nella maggior parte dei paesi che hanno riportato risultati autoptici. L'alcol è stato menzionato in oltre il 20% dei casi in almeno sei paesi e sono stati segnalati anche decessi correlati a farmaci oppioidi, come ossicodone e tramadolo.
L'EUDA sottolinea che i decessi per overdose sono influenzati da molti fattori, tra cui il tipo di droga, le modalità di utilizzo, le interruzioni del trattamento e la ridotta tolleranza. L'intento suicidario è stato segnalato più spesso tra i decessi indotti da droghe nelle donne rispetto agli uomini, sottolineando la necessità di una prevenzione attenta al genere.
Prevenire i decessi per overdose è una priorità della Strategia e del Piano d'azione dell'UE in materia di droga 2021-25, che include misure come la personalizzazione degli interventi per i gruppi ad alto rischio, l'aumento della disponibilità e dell'uso del naloxone e l'espansione dei trattamenti basati sull'evidenza.

To everyone who reads my posts, more or less.
For current reasons, I have created a shadow account.
@crossgolf_rebel Das Problem ist, dass es innerhalb dieses sozialen Netzwerkes und auch des #fediverse Netzwerkes keinerlei verbindlichen Standards gibt, auf die man im Zweifelsfall zurückgreifen kann. Das macht natürlich auch denCharme des Ganzen aus. Aber, so wie ich das jetzt selbst feststellen durfte, kann einem das auch Böse in den Hintern beißen.
Und nicht jeder ist Willens oder in der Lage, sich einen eigenen Server zu zulegen und das entsprechende Wissen dafür anzuschaffen …
na ja, es gibt schon ein paar Instanzen, die klare Regeln haben udn da auch schon Jahre lang so handhaben. Für Neulinge ist das sicher nicht leicht rauszufinden, aber man könnte Fragen.
Wenn ein Mod Wechseln gemacht wird, kann das leider auch passieren, das eine vorher stabile Instanz, kippt. Das hast du aber in Konzern Netzen auch, das deren Chefs und ihre Firmenpolitik auf einmal kippt und die das Gegenteil machen
@crossgolf_rebel Die Regeln kannte ich bei troet.cafe auch. Und ich bin auch weiterhin der Ansicht, dass ich diese befolgt habe.
Es sind weiterhin nur selbst auflegte, Regeln und eben keine gesetzliche Regelung, welche gegebenenfalls juristische Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen.
Das wäre im Fediverse auch denkbar unmöglich. Aber gleichzeitig ist es der Grund, warum zum Beispiel öffentliche Einrichtungen und vor allem kommerzielle Anbieter, Firmen, dem Netzwerk fernbleiben und lieber Bluesky verwenden beispielsweise.
Es gibt auf Mastodon nirgendwo die Sicherheit, dass die nicht irgendjemand einfach deinen Account, indem du viel Arbeit hinein gesteckt hast, dicht macht. Du kannst Glück haben und einen guten Server erwischen mit guten Leuten.
Was ich zum Beispiel schon häufiger angemahnt habe, ist, dass die Kommunikation meist auf der Strecke bleibt.
Und dann bleibt oft nicht mehr als nur gute Absichten und im Zweifelsfall eben ein Schulterzucken.
Als Anwender Nutzer ist man hier nicht besser dran, als auf Facebook oder Twitter …
das sind schon mal unterschiedliche herangehensweisen. Während wir alten immer wieder gesagt haben, nutzt eigen Instanzen und gerade für Firmen, Kommunen usw. ihr seid Herr über eure Instanzen die niemand außer euch dicht machen kann.
Wir werden und wurden dafür verlacht, und von SocialMediaProfis angemault. Das ist eine herangehensweise, die von denen keiner mehr kennt und das ist so schade. Lieber verschenken sie ihre Daten und lassen sich als von denen Knechten, als selber aktiv zu sein.
Und, eine eigene Instanz mit egal welcher Software bekommt man echt für einen schmalen Taler, wenn man es nicht allein machen will.
Wer auf Bluesky rennt, ist immer noch in geschlossenen Käfigen verhaftet. Sorry, aber den Weg gehe ich nicht mehr.
The Telegraph reports Trump proposed using US private military companies as part of security guarantees for Ukraine—tasked with fortifications, base-building, and protecting US business, with contractors’ presence seen as a deterrent to Russia. This would let Trump avoid deploying US troops while appeasing isolationists.
Mercenaries, euphemistically called "contractors" had a rather mixed record in Iraq. The best way to peace in the long run is to give Ukraine whatever weapons ir wants (except nukes) and let it knock the imperialism out of Russia for good.
#Poland analyst Konrad Muzyka on #Ukraine strikes on #Russia fuel infrastructure this month:
The big question is whether Ukraine can sustain this strike tempo into the autumn and winter. The strategic aim would be to prevent Russia from repairing damaged facilities and force cumulative degradation of its refining and storage network. In March, Ukraine carried out eight strikes against critical infrastructure inside Russia, but activity then slowed until August. This month alone, however, has already seen around 15 strikes, suggesting a renewed emphasis on deep interdiction. If sustained, this pattern could significantly complicate Moscow’s ability to stabilise domestic fuel supplies. At the same time, Russia will almost certainly respond with strikes against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure as the weather turns colder, raising the prospect of another high-intensity campaign targeting energy and civilian resilience.
“19th-Century Japanese patterns, 21st-Century style”
New Design: Vintage Pine Needle Design from Shin-Bijutsukai Monthly (1902) Products
Dig into a slice of design history with the “Pine Needle Design from Shin-Bijutsukai Monthly (1902).” It’s a beautifully stylized pattern of pine branches—soft, flowing lines and subtle colors that give off serious vintage charm. Originally found in a Japanese design magazine from the early 1900s, this pattern feels both timeless and fresh.
The video showcases a shower curtain with a distinctive pine needle design, featuring a dark gray background with light blue and brown pine needle patterns. The curtain is displayed hanging in a bathroom, with a bathtub visible at the bottom. The design is attributed to Douglas E. Welch, as indicated by the text "Douglas E. Welch Design and Photography" at the top of the frame. The video also includes circular insets showing the same design on a t-shirt, a tote bag, and a pillow, emphasizing the versatility of the pattern. The text "Pine Needle Design from Shin-Bijutsukai Monthly (1902)" and the website "DouglasWelch.com/shop/811" are displayed at the bottom, providing information about the design's origin and where it can be purchased. The video concludes with a plain gray background displaying the same text, reinforcing the design's source and availability.

Every August, it gets warmer. I hate january too, fuck the cold. We should pass a law across the eu to have May weather all year, nice spring all year. Ban climate change.
Full accord with your points re. climate catastrophe & Imperialist impunity. That said, my understanding is that Europe is likely to suffer uninhabitable cooling when the AMOC breaks down. Yes, I did not say 'if.' (Tipping points & feedback loops, ya know...)
If we have learned anything about climatological models is, they are too conservative to accurately track the actual response.
They can only report on data they have observed and analyzed but the chief characteristic of a complex system like the planet's climate is a transition state transition chaotic. It is extremely difficult to predict.
The easy analogy is a speaker feedback from a microphone. That explosive squawk is the nature of the feedback

As a #blind #hacker I often get the question of how to break into the #cybersecurity field when #accessibility is a concern. What courses, platforms and tools would work best? One consequence of this is the IC_Null channel on #Twitch where I look into various aspects of this in live streams through the lens of a #screenReader user. What I haven't done yet, is an outright head-to-head between the various answers you usually get to this question: #hackTheBox, #tryHackMe, #picoCTF, #parrotCTFS, #letsDefend , etc. In tonight's stream that is a question we'll start responding to. This is useful for people who develop for the #web, are active in the #ctf organizing space or just work in #tech in general. In two hours, I shall be dissecting a few of these platforms from an accessibility perspective and point out the failings, as well as things that are actually really good! Would love to have you join, over at twitch.tv/ic_null and/or youtube.com/@viewpointUnseen #selfPromo #stream

While Americans lament their crumbling infrastructure, China is rapidly expanding high-speed rail, subway systems, and airports across the country. Chinese tech products, from autonomous vehicles to drones to addiction-inducing algorithms, have won over global consumers and put companies such as BYD, DJI, and TikTok in pole position.
China’s prowess in engineering and manufacturing is now at the center of the U.S.–China rivalry in artificial intelligence. Despite Washington’s efforts to block China from advancing in AI, the country has continued to make progress in developing chips and training state-of-the-art large language models.
Dan Wang moved to Canada at age seven from Yunnan in southwestern China. A former tech analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics, his stints in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai allowed him to closely observe China’s trajectory. In his new book, Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future, Wang compares the country’s “engineering” state, which favors large-scale manufacturing, with America’s “lawyerly” society, which he believes hinders new construction and development.
