Yes. The bubble size distribution depends on the surface tension, so you might see different sizes. However, I have only conducted tests with water and semen.
If you like milk there's no such thing as a replacement. Only milk tastes like milk. The other things that have milk in the name taste like whatever they're made from (not milk).
That being said, pretty much any liquid should work, though the bubbles may not last. Also for something like mercury you may need an air compressor and a much more durable "straw".
I was unaware that these creatures had an entire pseudo science, but I guess it makes sense. But the definition of knowledge is antithetical to this entire study, since at it's core it studies the undetermined. No question is stupid, but this is blatantly ignorant. Still I'm glad you asked it because I learned something new
Considering the current intrusive cyber climate, what are the best ways to preserve privacy?
For example, I have been exclusively using a VPN connection network-wide at home setup on OpenWrt, which in turn has a PiHole as its DNS, with the PiHole using Unbound and NextDNS (redundant I know, but I use it to encrypt my requests more than anything else).
I also have Wireguard setup so I can VPN all my devices to my network while I am on the road (also have a NextDNS profile installed. Yes I know, it’s redundant).
I also basically have all my “smart” devices (TV, lightbulbs, air purifier, etc…) at home cutoff from the internet using OpenWrt’s firewall to prevent them from calling home.
I rotate web browsers frequently to try and attempt avoiding getting fingerprinted, not sure how useful that is.
I switched email providers to mailbox.org because f*** Google and Microsoft.
I also am hosting my own cloud drive on Nextcloud to avoid using services like GDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc…
I own Apple devices which aren’t the best for privacy but migrating from a whole ecosystem that I have been embedded in for MANY years is easier said than done. Hopefully in the future that’s my next move.
I feel like there is a lot more I can do but I am not sure what else. I would appreciate any and all suggestions ya’ll might have.
The Supreme Court turned away an appeal by Montana officials seeking to revive a state law that requires minors seeking abortions to obtain the consent of their parents.
We live in southern Minnesota and want put some raspberry bushes in the backyard, being new to gardening should we wait until next spring or could they establish themselves well enough during the hot summer months to survive the winter without expert attention?
Lol to this, because it's partially true, but also a bit defeatist.
You need to stay on top of berry bushes quarterly in warmer zones, but this person is in Minnesota. I don't think they'll thrive their like they would in warmer zones without harsh winters.
If farms can keep them in check, regular gardeners can as well, it just takes a fair amount of effort.

The %s is the placeholder string used by both Firefox, Chromium, and many of their derivatives like LibreWolf, ZenBrowser, and Vivaldi. You'll need to remove the spaces around it in the two URLs above (as Lemmy changed all my URLs without spaces to something different).
Interesting counterpoint to the stuff we sometimes talk about here. It's more for public chat rooms though. MLS (RFC 9240) still interests me and I've been wanting to try coding it.
I challenge you or anyone else who thinks this is AI to try to duplicate the image using any standard gen AI tooling. Please post what you get, I fucking dare you.
This is 100% crappy vector art thrown together into a crappy infographic by hand, and that thing on the bottom of the skeleton is called a pelvis.
Ah that’s fair, I can see where you’re coming from on that. Those icons could 100% be generated with AI given the right prompting.
In my book, they look way more like stock assets to me due to how generic the symbols are, and the consistent styling. The “army guard” icon is kinda sus because of the stick “gun”, but that can be read as deliberate ambiguity to appease potential corporate customers who don’t want gun depictions in their vector stock images, and same deal with the generic “six point star”.
You’d also think they’d have chosen some sort of more detailed depiction of “isolation & surveillance” than a megaphone, or a lightning head for “fear & control”. If any of the accompanying text was included in the prompt to generate these images, the output would’ve been completely different.
Hello all- I am seeking help trying to figure out why my internal microphone isn't being detected. I have followed a lot of troubleshooting audio guides such as this one and none of it has worked.

do anything for you? (The numbers are for sound card 0, 1, and 2. It looks like, if anything, only 0 would be relevant for you, but you can try the others just in case.)
This command cleans the controls created by applications.
It was a bit of a long shot experiment to begin with. The commands I posted can be useful when an audio device suddenly stops working after it has been working initially during a session, but since your problem is most likely about your device not being recognized at any time, it's not too surprising that they don't do much. Just worth the try.
It is probably due to this change in the Linux kernel. That broke analogue microphone inputs on lots of systems. After that change, there were quite a few additional patches fixing those problems on individual systems (e.g. this one), but there are still lots of broken setups around. I have no idea what the original change was about exactly. It appears to have broken more things than it has fixed, but what do I know.
Yes. Apparently the issue happens with both internal mics and mic connectors where you attach your own mic. The seconds link I provided points to a fix for a specific laptop that fixes a non-working internal mic.
No, it is not dumb. My second link was just an example to a fix of one particular laptop where this issue occurred. I mentioned all this just to point to the issue that might be causing your problem. I'm afraid this probably does not fix it for you. Maybe it has been fixed with a more recent kernel. You could check which version you are running (by running uname -a from a terminal) and maybe update to a newer one if your distro allows that. Alternatively you could downgrade the kernel to a version before this issue was introduced (a 6.10 kernel should work okay). Of course downgrading should only be a stop-gap solution.
I'm trying to see if maybe i've done something where I have pipewire, pulseaudio, wireplumber all set up at the same time? I also don't really understand the difference between them
Okay, so this is one of Asus's consumer models that fits in the "Windowstop" category, meaning a lot of the hardware is going to be windows-only for various reasons.
It's got an ALC272 which IS supported, but that doesn't mean the microphone will be, especially if it's on the USB bus for whatever reason.
Couple questions:
1) Do other microphones work, just not internal? 2) Does your volume control work as expected 3) Does the webcam work, and does the internal microphone work only when the webcam is engaged? 4) What do apps like Discord or Zoom detect as available for your inputs?
As a test, install pavucontrol and qasmixer. Open pavucontrol, and check ALL the input settings (there are many combos). If nothing there shows activity, launch qasmixer, select the 'hw' view on the right, then try selecting different mixers and see if one finally clicks.
If any of these are successful, your mic is detected, and your mixer settings are messed up so it's not being enabled as an input sink.
If none of these work, you're going to have to dig restart, then run sudo dmesg and grep through looking for information regarding audio devices, or similar errors to see if it can't detect it.
From the product specs, it looks like it might have Harmon Kardon speakers, which may also tie into the microphone, and that's going to be problematic if it's a USB device for a number of reasons I won't dive into. Overall, this model just seems to be problematic from digging around. Example: reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/160…
when i go on zoom or discord there is no available inputs
the internal mic used to work but then I had to do some update and now its not.
Is there a chance that there is some config file that is blocking something? like i made some kind of setting in a config file that is making this happen?

Dumb question: do you have a key on your keyboard that disables the microphone? I don't have my laptop in front of me, but I know there's a key that disables the trackpad and another that disables the camera. I realized that I'd accidentally hit those by going through something similar to this.
You definitely seem to have what looks to be the right audio device getting detected.
The device that is "unplugged" should be the 3.5mm jack on your laptop (if you have one) not the internal mic.
My first guess is that your audio device is in the wrong mode. If it is currently set to something like "stereo output" change it to "stereo output+mono input" or "stereo duplex" from pavucontrol or audio settings.
Audio devices can have multiple modes or "profiles" that determine what they do.
For my headset I have:
For my internal sound card I have:
If I set my headset to one of the options that doesn't have "+ Mono Input" the mic stops working and doesn't even show up in settings and apps anymore. Same if I use the "Stereo Output" mode on my internal sound card. They must be set to a mode with both output and input enabled to work.
I can see this from "Sound" in my KDE settings, but you can also configure this in the "Configuration" tab of pavucontrol.
I am new to linux knows very very basic linux like using it for more then year know how to sort little issues etc. I have my laptop with me having specs as following: **Hp Elitebook 840 G4 Core i5 7th Gen 8gb Ram 256 gb SSD Full Hd 1080 maybe resolution Currently using Fedora KDE Edition **
Use for basic working sometimes it gets load sometimes but still a good one.
Help me if you can install Tekken 7 or if not then tekken 3 will work for me as well.
I dont litterly know anything fully technical so kindly if you gonna tell me explain it to be with step by step detailes please and let me know each thing. It'll be great help 🤞
Note: If Tekken 7 can't be installed on fedora or need anything else to change, kindly recommend me, mostly i have used debian based systems and rest i have is fedora so if anything is nkt suitable, let me know please.
Gonna post in multiple communities to get extra help. Thank you
Sure. The steam version is easiest, just install steam, get the game through steam and it should just work. Heres a website that tracks compatibility with linux through proton, valve's solution to running windows games, its installed by default when you get steam: protondb.com/app/389730
It has a pretty simple GUI and you can click your configs together.
At first you have to define a "bottle" which simply represents an virtual environment for your Windows-Application or Game.
You can define which Windows Version you want to create and it asks you, if it is a Desktop-App or a Game you want to run. And based on that it will create an environment prepared for your Individual situation.
Idk if you have the specs to run tekken 7 but you can try if you already own the game. sudo dnf install steam Then open steam and go to the settings look for compatibility and make sure thats on. Then try running tekken 7.
If tekken 7 is to laggy you can try tekken 3. If you want to try that I can type up instructions. You can either install the PC version or use a ps2 emulator and play the ps2 versions. I'd recommend the ps2 emulator because its easy and the games are easy to find.
Im all for piracy, but cant OP make it kinda obvious at least instead of scaring away New users by making it look like Linux is way too hard
Also, there are like thousands of threads about this already on other Forums made for piracy, and its still the same: download steam or Heroic, add New game, select the exe, and play
Oh I completely agree with you. Second problem being it also looks like they're asking how and where. The resources are there, and it's still relatively simple regardless of the OS. Just sadly not the best community for this sort of question. They're going to need more than just an emulator for instance lol.

Starbucks, Chips, irgendein gekauftes Backwerk, Fertiglebensmittel sind jetzt nicht gerade günstig (vor allem wenn man, wie abgebildet, Markenprodukte kauft). Das Problem ist, dass günstige ballaststoffreiche Lebensmittel oft ziemlich viel Aufwand und auch Fähigkeiten erfordern, um daraus schmackhafte Mahlzeiten herzustellen (und wenn man alleine wohnt muss man dann tagelang Kohl, Salat o.Ä. essen). Naja, und manche Obstsorten sind wirklich teuer, z.B. Beeren.
Insgesamt wird die rechte Seite erst dann wirklich teuer, wenn man das Essen von anderen herstellen lassen will.
Salat der Wahl + Ein Feta oder Mozarella (oder was danach aussieht, aber nicht so genannt werden darf, egal) + ein paar Cherrytomaten oder eine große Tomate kleingeschnitten + Ein paar Nüsse oder Sonnenblumenkerne oder Kürbiskerne o.ä.
Alles schnippeln und zusammenwerfen. Olivenöl und Essig dran, und ein bisschen Salz und Pfeffer.
Dauert keine zehn Minuten und mehr als Würfel schneiden muss man auch nicht können.
Ja, und den Salat kann man dann 3 Tage lang essen wenn man alleine wohnt. Bei mir fliegt dann selbst bei den kleineren Salaten (z.B. abgepackter Feldsalat) idR die Hälfte weg.
Ein Salatkopf hält sich auch einige Tage frisch und du kannst die für dich passende Menge Salat jeweils frisch zubereiten. Ein halber Feta oder Mozarella kann auch geöffnet zwei drei Tage überstehen.
Da es nur zehn Minuten dauert, das zusammenzuwerfen, bist du immer noch schnell als bei Nudeln mit Pesto.
Ich weiß, ich nur ein lustiges Bild. Aber ich habe so viele Gedanken dazu, das ich nun Stichpunkte raushauen muss. Bitte nicht zu hart runter wählen, ich spitze zu und meine nichts davon böse:

Peinliche Deutsche kaufen so billig wie möglich und werden dann krank und dick.
Wenn man sich die linke Seite des Posts ansieht: Marken-Coffee-to-go, Marken-Cola, Marken-Chips, Marken-Sandwich sind aber gar nicht so billig wie möglich. Das gibt es alles billiger von Eigenmarken und Konkurrenzfirmen. Vielleicht ist der Post da einfach nicht akkurat, aber die Produkte würden ja nicht angeboten wenn sie niemand kauft.

Wo will man auch heutzutage noch Partner treffen? Bei Tinder? Im immer seltener werdenden Dritten Raum (ein Ort, an dem Leute sich aufhalten können ohne Geld bezahlen zu müssen)? "Hyper-Individualisierung" klingt, als hätten die Singles einfach nur keine Lust sich Partner zu suchen.

"The day before she was released, on Monday, Sakeik was awoken by guards and told that she was going to be removed from the detention facility in Texas, where she was being held. An officer told Sakeik that she was being deported, but then she was not.
Sakeik was first threatened with deportation on 12 June when ICE agents brought her to the tarmac at Fort Worth Alliance Airport and told her they were deporting her to “the border of Israel.”
A US federal judge had previously ordered that Sakeik could not be deported."
'Ward was arrested and almost deported simply because she is Palestinian and ICE thought they could get away with it' - Chris Godshall-Bennett, lawyer representing Sakeik
A Palestinian woman was released from custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the US government tried for the second time to deport her despite a federal court ruling prohibiting her removal.
This year, like every other year, Americans will celebrate Independence Day with flag-waving, and parades, and fireworks. The political system the flag and the parades and fireworks are supposed to represent is in tatters, but everybody likes a party.
For Americans, the madness gripping their country is a catastrophe. For non-Americans, it is an accidental revolution. This Independence Day, the world is declaring its independence from the US.
The lesson the Americans once taught the British, they are teaching the rest of the world: there are no necessary nations. There are no exceptional countries. There are no permanent global orders
I washed mine in a standard washer/dryer for about two years before a pouch tore and it began to leak weighted material. I am still unclear if it was a washer/dryer damage issue or if my new dog with God damn demon nails poked a hole in it. I honestly think it was the dog.
Most should be machine washable in cold water on the gentle/delicate cycle without any addons (no fabric softener, certainly no bleach) before tumble drying on low, which you may need to do twice and could also be where I fucked mine up (I dried it on Hellscape Hawt one time.).
Regarding your mention of an outside or slipcover, mine did not have that. If you do not see an obvious set of snaps or zippers, do not assume that your does either.
I definitely remember getting it inside a slip cover, like I had to intentionally maneuver it into one so i guess its time to get it out haha. See you guys in a few weeks while i attempt THAT haha
Yeah I have the same worry. We have a weighted blanket that we still haven't washed and it bothers me. I don't need to wash it regularly but it would be good to give it an initial wash after purchase, but I'm worried about damaging my front loader 🙁
After the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill” passed both the House and Senate, one social media user protested, “17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance.”
Van Orden responded to the post, “YES!”
After he received backlash, the post was quickly deleted, with the congressman claiming he had meant to reply to a different post.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden claimed that a post celebrating that "18 million kids just lost school meals" and 17 million people "lost health care" was made in error.

I know this is a bit controversial, I've done a tiny bit of research on it. But honestly, until last night, I didn't realize people used anything but 1:1.
From what I've read, most older recipes are 2:1? And most modern recipes are 1:1? What do you use?
I use 2:1 when I bother to heat it in a pot, but recently I've taken to just filling sugar and boiling water into the intended container and shaking it every couple of minutes, and that method leads to somewhat more watery syrup. Still more sugar than water, though.
If a recipe needs more dilution, you can always add water while mixing the cocktail. I do that pretty often.
I don't embark on such journeys, tbh. I'm more of a day by day/ path of least resistance person. But fucking good on people who do that shit. I'm proud of you. Best I can do is make rash decisions and see them through. Some of them work out really well. Some don't.
I am looking to create similar tool to AlternativeTo. This would list different brands and why you should or should not buy them. Is there some software that would be great starting point for creating this kind of service?
I would guess wiki apps would work for this, but like wikijs, but interested to hear is the something else that could be used for this.
Only thing that happens is that I get a black screen. Not sure what's happening, no error, nothing.
Disabled secure boot and stuff in UEFI.
Any suggestions? I feel stupid.
Edit: I'll leave it here for whomever might come next: use Ventoy to create the USB, not Rufus, and then boot in grub2 option. It's installing now, at least. Let's see...
How did you format the USB drive? I could never get a usb to boot on my Surface Go unless it was made in Rufus using Windows. I believe you need to format the USB (with no iso) as an unbootable disc with fat32 and GPT and THEN put the iso you want on it. (Two separate operations on the same USB stick.)
There's also a custom Linux Kernel just for Surfaces that you can use for better driver compatibility.
Edit: I see you mentioned Ventoy. I got some ISOs to work with it, but most didn't. Then again, I couldn't get some ISOs to work with Rufus either.
Doch die Verordnung war das einzige Werkzeug, mit dem eine Überdüngung auf die verursachenden Betriebe zurückzuführen war. Nun fürchten Experten, dass die Nitratwerte im Trinkwasser wieder steigen könnten, weil die Verursacher wieder anonym wären. Wenn das passiert, könnte das auch für die Regierung Folgen haben.2018 wurde Deutschland von der EU für die Nichteinhaltung der Nitratgrenzwerte im Trinkwasser verklagt. Eine Klage, die 2023 zurückgezogen wurde, weil die EU-Kommission die von Deutschland ergriffenen Korrekturen als hinreichend ansah. Dazu gehörte auch die 2018 eingeführte Stoffstrombilanzierungsverordnung.
Seit ihrer Einführung ist die Menge an Stickstoff, die von landwirtschaftlichen Flächen in die Umwelt gelangt, um fast ein Drittel gefallen. Dr. Benjamin Leon Bodirsky, PIK
Trotzdem hat das Bundesministerium für Landwirtschaft, Ernährung und Heimat (BMLEH) die Stoffstrombilanzverordnung abgeschafft. Bundesminister Rainer sagt, er löse ein Wahlversprechen zum Bürokratieabbau ein: "Damit befreien wir unsere Höfe von jährlich 18 Millionen Euro Bürokratieballast."
Dazu als Einordnung: 304 Milliarden Euro Umsatz im "agribusiness" I'm Jahr 2023 laut Agrarheute
Die Aufhebung der Stoffstrombilanzierung kommt faktisch einem Rückfall in die Gesetzlosigkeit im Bereich der Düngung gleich. Prof. Klaus Dittert, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
Bestraft würden nun nämlich wieder die Landwirte, die sich an Regelungen gehalten und verantwortungsvoll gedüngt hätten. Umweltsünder, die überdüngen, hätten wieder freie Fahrt, so Dittert.
[...] das mit der EU vereinbarte Wirkungsmonitoring, welches Bestandteil der Nitrat-Richtlinie ist, wird nun nicht mehr durchgeführt. Das könnte die EU-Kommission dazu veranlassen, das Vertragsverletzungsverfahren von 2018 wieder aufzunehmen. Es drohen Milliardenstrafen, die schlussendlich Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher schultern - ebenso wie höhere Preise für Trinkwasser. Denn das Herausfiltern von Nitrat ist teuer.
Klassiker in D: Grenzwert wird überschritten -> es wird im Bestfall reguliert -> Grenzwert wird unterschritten -> "das braucht sich kein Mensch; Bürokratie yay"
Ich bin so frustriert und Müde von der bekloppten CSU es ist doch nicht zu fassen. Für 18 Mio, so ein schmarrn.
Wie viel Dünger verlässt den Hof? Mit der Stoffstrombilanz konnte das genau zugeordnet werden. Jetzt wurde sie abgeschafft. Nehmen die Schadstoffe in Boden und Wasser wieder zu?
Zählt das eigentlich schon als Landesverrat, wenn man komplett ohne Not die Lebensgrundlage des Landes zerstört? Wenn man das Grundwasser erstmal komplett verseucht hat, werden Wasseraufbereitung und -lieferung deutlich mehr kosten als 18 Millionen im Jahr.
Niedrigere Limits führen bei gleicher Geschwindigkeit zu härteren Strafen. Leute, die versuchen mit >130 durch 90er-Zonen-Kurven zu ballern fahren nicht nur in Kurven zu schnell.
Man bekommt diese Strafen auch, wenn man auf gerader Strecke so schnell fährt (je nachdem wo die Blitzer stehen, aber soweit ich weiß sind die eher auf gerader Strecke) - ist auch gefährlich, führt aber nicht in jedem Fall zu schweren Unfällen. Das hat bei manchen einen Lerneffekt.
Mit dem Auto im Wasser gelandet: Bleibt genug Zeit zur Flucht - und warum kann ein Nothammer Leben retten? Ein ADAC-Test überrascht mit Details, die jeder Autofahrer kennen sollte.
Man beachte bei der Folge, dass ab Minute 33 auch das mit dem Fenster aufmachen getestet wird, unter anderem werden im Trockenen Eisengewichte auf eine Autotür gestapelt, um den Unterwasserdruck zu simulieren, wenn man im gesunkenen Auto das Fenster per normalem Fensterheber öffnen will. Im Endeffekt gilt, sobald das Wasser ein Fenster auch nur teilweise bedeckt, hilft in der Tat nur noch der Nothammer.
Finde aber schon cool, dass der ADAC das hier praktisch ausprobiert bzw. demonstriert hat.

An der Spitze fast nur Männer. Das ist in vielen Unternehmen immer noch so. Der Kanzler sieht Handlungsbedarf - und gibt Frauen Ratschläge. Luft nach oben ist aber auch in Regierung und Kanzleramt.
„Ich kenne das natürlich aus meiner Welt. Wir Männer haben eine bessere Begabung und Befähigung, Netzwerke zu bilden und uns gegenseitig auch zu unterstützen“
Endlich mal einer der den Frauen die Welt erklärt! /s
Um als Mann für die Frauen mal eine Lanze zu brechen:
Es gibt einen wesentlichen Unterschied, der von allen Forschern, die sich mit der geschlechtsspezifischen Wirksamkeit von Frauen- und Männernetzwerken auseinandergesetzt haben, beschrieben wird: Frauenbünden fehlt häufig eine relevante Anzahl an Alpha-Mitgliedern – also Entscheiderinnen, die bereits in Machtpositionen sind und insofern die anderen Netzwerkmitglieder mit nach oben ziehen können oder durch ihre Multiplikatorinnenfunktion einen messbaren Benefit für die anderen Frauen im Netzwerk erzielen können. Das ist insbesondere bei den sogenannten Old Boys Networks (als Beispiel etwa der Andenpakt der CDU) anders. Wobei gerade dieses Beispiel zeigt, dass ein Männernetzwerk mit wichtigen Entscheidern allein noch nicht wirksam ist – und von einer einzelnen Frau durchaus "besiegt" werden kann. Generell haben Frauen schlechtere Chancen, Mitglied in einem Old Boys Network zu werden. Man muss hierzu mit den zumeist älteren und männlichen Entscheidern befreundet und bekannt sein – und diesen Entscheidern sympathisch sein. In der Regel basieren die stark wirksamen Männernetzwerke auf informellen Seilschaften, die ohne Rahmen und nur auf Sympathie und Ähnlichkeit beruhen.
Networking haftet immer noch ein eher schlechtes Image an. Besonders Frauen halten sich zurück. Dabei sind Netzwerker besonders erfolgreich im Job. Was machen die anders?
Michaels haben definitiv zu wenig Risikobewusstsein, wenn es um die AfD geht. Wenn die mal irgendwann an die Regierung kommen, werden sehr viele AfD-Wähler "Leoparden aßen mein Gesicht!"-Momente haben.
Nach dem was man so aus den USA liest, ist das vielen rechten Wählern gar nicht so egal, wenn ihnen die Bezüge weggekürzt werden oder sie gleich ganz aus dem Bezug von Arbeitslosengeld, Krankenversicherung usw. rausfliegen oder sogar sie oder ihre Angehörigen, Nachbarn usw. ins Gulag gesteckt werden.
Selbst rechte Wähler stecken nicht alle so tief in der alternativen Realität, dass sie sogar das noch wegrationalisieren.
Poland’s main opposition party, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), has proposed an entry ban for people from certain countries in the Middle East and Africa. It says this would help stop Germany’s practice of sending migrants who have illegally crossed the border back to Poland.
The proposal comes amid renewed debate over how to tackle migration, with the Polish government on Tuesday announcing the reintroduction of controls on Poland’s borders with Germany and Lithuania in an effort to prevent the “uncontrolled flow of migrants”.
After Prime Minister Donald Tusk had announced the border controls, the head of PiS’s parliamentary caucus, Mariusz Błaszczak, said that the government’s actions were “too little, too late”.
“This crisis has been going on for months,” he continued. “This issue requires far-reaching action.”
Błaszczak said that PiS would submit a bill to parliament introducing a temporary ban on entry to Poland for third-country nationals from “specific countries outside Europe…whose citizens illegally cross borders”.
Previously, on Monday, PiS party leader Jarosław Kaczyński had called for an “immediate ban on entry to the territory of Poland for people from the Middle East and North Africa”.
PiS has not yet specified which Middle Eastern and African countries would be included in its proposed ban. It says they would be selected based on analysis of data showing which nationalities most often cross borders illegally or are transferred to Poland from Germany.
A government information campaign discouraging people from trying to illegally enter Poland was recently launched in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan and Egypt, countries from which Poland has identified the largest numbers of people crossing the border from Belarus.
Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from Asia and Africa – have tried to enter Poland from Belarus, with the encouragement and assistance of the Belarusian authorities.
In response, Poland has heavily fortified its eastern border with physical barriers and electronic monitoring. The government also recently banned asylum claims by people crossing from Belarus. Those measures have led to a dramatic decline in the numbers entering via that route.
In his remarks on Tuesday, Błaszczak made clear, however, that PiS’s proposed entry ban was designed to address the issue that has recently caused most controversy, which is Germany’s policy of sending back to Poland thousands of migrants who crossed the Polish-German border illegally.
Many of those sent back are Ukrainians. Others are non-Europeans, often from Asia and Africa, who have either claimed asylum in Poland – and therefore must remain there while their applications are processed – or have simply passed through it after entering the EU irregularly.
“After the introduction of this [proposed] law, Polish border guards will be able to prevent citizens of these countries from entering our territory,” said Błaszczak. “So those who are today being transferred from Germany by the German authorities, or who are trying to cross from Germany to the Polish side, will not be able to do so.”
The migrant returns carried out by Germany take place under a combination of EU regulations, bilateral agreements with Poland, and the border controls that Berlin reintroduced in 2023. Earlier this year, Tusk declared that Poland may stop adhering to such agreements.
However, some Poles have sought to take matters into their own hands, organising self-declared “citizen patrols” – some of them hundreds strong – at the German border to monitor and prevent migrant returns.
Błaszczak said that PiS politicians will be visiting the German border to make clear that “we support the border defence movement”, which he described as “Polish patriots who took matters into their own hands when Donald Tusk’s state abdicated [its responsibilities]”.
He also pledged that the party “will provide support to those who are persecuted by the current authorities of our country” for undertaking such actions, reports the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Earlier this week, Tusk and interior minister Tomasz Siemoniak criticised the actions of the citizen patrols, saying that they are disrupting the work of border officers and spreading false claims about the number and types of migrants being transferred by Germany.
I’d previously played the Commodore 64 version—a predictable top-down shooter with decent graphics for the old brown breadbox, but nothing remarkable.
The DOS version, released in 1989, really stands out. It supports VGA graphics and AdLib sound, delivering crisp colors and catchy music that were impressive for the time.
What blew me away, though, was the control options. Not only does it support keyboard and joystick, but you can also move and shoot using the mouse—a rarity for the platform back then. Even better, it actually works pretty well by the standards of the day.
Rambo III came out in many versions: arcade, Master System, Genesis. The computer versions are mostly similar, each carrying quirks unique to their platforms—you could find it on Atari ST, Amiga, MSX, C64, Amstrad CPC, and even ZX Spectrum.
The DOS release covers CGA, EGA, and VGA graphics modes plus a variety of sound options, offering a surprisingly eclectic experience. While critics favored the Genesis version, I think the DOS port holds its own. It’s more than playable and can deliver some solid fun.

Lemmy.ml is an instance run by admins who are hardcore tankies and will enforce their ideology on their instance through various means from allowing (and pushing it themselves) propaganda (Such as Russia being justified in some way to invade Ukraine) and known propaganda outlets (Like RT) to removing content on their instance critical of their favored authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China and even banning users for such speech or speech critical of them if it's off their instance (Just like the Reddit mods of ol!).
If it was just some random instance it would have been defederated from long ago like the rest of the "Tankie Triad" (Hexbear and Lemmygrad), but they've positioned lemmy.ml as the "flagship" instance and abused that position and influence to become large enough to keep other instances from defederating from them.
Which I believe is harmful to the Lemmy-verse's overall growth and outside reputation. I have seen it come up before on Reddit threads (and other testimonials from people who came back and tried it again) that "They tried Lemmy but it was a bunch of tankies and went back to Reddit"
I don't know about you, but I'd prefer Lemmy to not end up with the reputation for being "Tankie Central " or even worse "Voat 2.0".

This irony is pretty thick. OP is crying about propaganda while promoting overt imperial propaganda (radio free europe, etc.). Libs and tankies are the same damn thing with different imperial branding. That's all that this is.
Radio Free [Region] is a perfectly credible news source that does a fair job of minimizing bias
In any case, bias != Mis/Disinformation. They're vastly different beasts. One just tries to subtly write things in a way that makes the reader favor their position the other is just straight lies and made up conspiracy theories to force a certain narrative among the populace
Radio Free [Region] is literally a mouthpiece of blatant western imperialist
Ok prove it then, surely something so widely known and "blatant" to be an outlet for misinformation would have numerous online, credible, sources with their evidence
Radio Liberty was literally initiated by the CIA and has been controlled by the "United States Agency for Global Media" since it was privatised, please look it up...
Even fucking Wikipedia has it listed in the first 3 paragraphs
Additional considerations apply to the use of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). RFE/RL should be used cautiously, if at all, for reporting published from the 1950s to the early 1970s, when RFE/RL had a documented relationship with the CIA.
RFE/RL may be biased in some subject areas (particularly through omission of relevant, countervailing facts), and in those areas, it should be attributed in the article body. There is no consensus as to what subject areas require attribution. The scope of topics requiring attribution of RFE/RL should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
It hasn't been true for some time now and is generally found to be credible and fairly unbiased and RFA is seen in even a more positive light:
Radio Free Asia can be generally considered a reliable source. In particularly geopolitically charged areas, attribution of its point of view and funding by the U.S. government may be appropriate. Per the result of a 2021 RfC, editors have established that there is little reason to think RFA demonstrates some systematic inaccuracy, unreliability, or level of government co-option that precludes its use.
LEAST BIASED These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced.

Because individual blocks, be it for a user or instance, are not blocks. It's a barely functioning "mute", and is likely the way dessalines wants it since it was implemented this way 4 years ago and not a peep on fixing it since. Even now as they barrel towards a 1.0 release, nothing.
The only true block on Lemmy, is defederation or site bans (for individuals)
Even if it did work as expected, it still allows their toxic misinformation and propaganda to spread throughout the Threadiverse. Scaring away new users and making it look like we "accept" it because there's ever decreasing push back to it
.world has not defederated from Lemmy.ml, I really wish they would, being the largest it would be of huge boost to the health of the Threadiverse
But the others are Hexbear and Lemmygrad (if you wanna see some of the things they say, check this thread out (viewed as a local post outside your client) lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48132283)
Thanks for the heads up. I’m surprised that the support channel/community on .world doesn’t have a post requesting outright defederation from .ml. I’ve searched through nearly two years of posts there but found nothing substantial.
I don't think it was on the support comm, but they did respond on a thread about it once on why they don't defed from them like they did the other 2.
It boiled down to 3 things: big comms, official Lemmy support comms and the fact the devs rolled out instance blocking tools
The 1st one, I'm hopefully solving with my cross-posting and calls for boycotting, the third one is by calling attention to the fact that it doesn't work as one would think. Pretty sure everyone thought block meant block when it was being discussed.

Haselnusshack, mit etwas Öl rösten gehackte schwarze Oliven braten gekochte Nudeln, z.B. Fussili (wichtig ist, dass die Nudeln so klein sind, dass man sie mit dem Löffel essen kann) ordentliche Portion Parmesan o.Ä.
Alles mischen, mit Löffel essen damit Oliven und Nusshack auch zusammen mit Nudeln und Käse in den Mund kommen. Schmeckt ziemlich gut und ich liebe die Textur.
Mit dem Öl vom Braten/Rösten und der Feuchtigkeit der Nudeln (sie sollten nicht so lange getrocknet sein, dass sie zusammenkleben) geht das schon. Ist aber schon Teil der Textur, dass es trockener ist im Vergleich zu einem Nudelgericht mit einer richtigen Sauce. Hab aber auch schon öfter eine halbe Portion Nudeln ohne alles gegessen (Kochwasser sollte dann gut gesalzen sein), wenn man sich das überhaupt nicht vorstellen kann ist dieses Gericht vielleicht nix für einen.

I got completely annihilated on Korean rice wine once. Tested like slightly sweet water. Ice cold, very refreshing. By glass number four, I was at stage 2 snot bubble. Something like 24% ABV and I was drinking water glasses of it
It is a little bit like vodka. It is served ice cold, tastes like mildly sweet water and comes in a beer-style bottle so people who don't know what it is drink way too much of it too fast and then get hit like a hammer.
Now I kinda want to try soju. I have yet to meet a drink with any appreciable amount of alcohol in it that doesn't taste like paint thinner smells to me. The only way I've ever been able to "not taste the alcohol" is if there's barely any in the drink.
If that's your metric just drink "flavored fortified wine" aka bum my wine like MD 20/20. It's really high alcohol content and super sweet to mask the poor quality.
I've tried wines like that before. I apparently have that gene where you super taste bitter and it just tasted like flat LaCroix mixed with paint thinner.
That's gotta be a different gene, bourbon and rye taste like bitter wood to me (because of tannins from the cask aging) instead of the boozy vanilla that many people claim it tastes like, yet (decent) vodka tastes completely neutral to me. But I do believe that some people perceive alcohol itself as bitter while others do not.
Do you dislike bitter flavors in general, like coffee, tea, or salad?
I probably won't be able to tolerate it then sadly. I'm super sensitive to bitter flavors that's seemingly why alcohol is always so unpleasant to me. I've tried so many drinks that even friends who barely drink at all say they can hardly taste the alcohol that all tasted just vile to me. Thanks though!
Can you elaborate on that? I've never seen anything about people adding water or other mixers into their sake (except the rare case of sake cocktails, which are definitely not the default way of drinking sake).
That said, I usually add water when I drink sake, but I do that because that's what I do with most of my alcoholic beverages; I never got the impression that this is actually the normal way of drinking it.
Yeah, just a few ml to take the edge off - it's not even about the alcohol for me (I happily sip 63% ABV rum if it's the good stuff), but about the unusual sake-specific flavor. I could probably sip a milder sake as-is, but we don't exactly have a huge amount of choice where I live.
Kinda sounds like it's just something you do, which isn't a bad thing in itself, but you wrote that as if it's the standard way to do it.
I'm mostly working off magazine articles, blog posts and books like David Wondrich's "Imbibe!". Most of the time, a simple web search with terms like "how to drink [beverage]" will yield results. e.g. for single malt whisky you can easily find articles and lengthy forum discussions over how much, if any, water to add, and plenty of articles write about what temperature to drink sake at and how to make hot sake. Though it's always possible that something is fairly common in Japan that western bloggers are not aware of.

Kaitlynn Milne says her mother is usually always up first thing in the morning, hours before the rest of the family. She enjoys being productive in the quiet hours around sunrise. It’s an especially optimal time to do yard work, when the rest of her New Orleans neighborhood still sleeps and she can count on peacefully completing chores.
Gardening and rearranging the shed is how an average morning would go for Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old Iranian mother, wife, home cook, parent-teacher association (PTA) member and lifelong community service volunteer.
“She always says: ‘I’ve already done most of my day before y’all even wake up,’ complaining at us,” said Kaitlynn, 32. It was always done with love, she says, as her mother adores taking care of others and would wake up every morning excited to do just that.
But the morning of Sunday, 22 June, didn’t go like every other morning. In the early hours, while her husband, Russell Milne, slept inside the house, Kashanian was approached in her yard by plainclothes men who identified themselves as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents.

Jeremy Corbyn has hinted he could launch a political party alongside other leftwing independent MPs in an attempt to offer “an alternative” to Labour, before the next general election.
Speaking on ITV’s Peston programme, the former Labour leader confirmed discussions were under way among the Independent Alliance group of MPs that he co-founded last year.
Asked directly whether they were preparing to form a new party, Corbyn did not rule it out. “That grouping [of independents] will come together, there will be an alternative,” he said.
From what I can observe lurking, communication between Lemmy and Mastodon is pretty half-baked, with things overall boiling down to users on Mastodon being able to follow Lemmy users, but not the opposite, and posts from Mastodon users may appear on Lemmy but with the text body appearing as title instead. Issues like these may appear due to how each site engine handles the data received. If you must follow users from Mastodon on Reddit-like forums, Mbin is far more compatible.
From Mastodon you can follow Lemmy communities and Lemmy users. Some Lemmy communities name gets hashtags on mastodon, e.g. if you follow #idm there, you will see posts from !idm@lemmy.zip
From Lemmy you cannot follow/subscribe to anything from Mastodon. You can see replies and posts of Mastodon users in Lemmy communities
If you want to follow all from one account with a Lemmy-like interface, the closest you can get is with Mbin. There you can follow Lemmy communities, Mastodon and Lemmy users. You cannot follow Mastodon hashtags though.

thinking about someone I should not bother thinking about
Once upon a time, I was friends with a guy named Jim. A very, very few of you might know him. Almost all of you won’t.
I walked away some years ago, blocked him on the socials over his support for the fascist, because I said that the fascist’s promises absolutely, positively, literally required American concentration camps, and that’s what he was supporting by supporting the fascist, and I could not abide that…
…and yet, he carried on, saying I was a fool, and that none of it would ever happen.
(I asked him then why did he support someone he insisted was lying to him. I do not remember getting an answer, before I quit.)
So now that we have American concentration camps…
…and now that people with direct access to the fascist are talking about sending literally every American citizen of Latino heritage there to die… (it will require more concentration camps than that, of course, but that’s a detail which makes no difference)
I wonder…
…has he yet been moved to repentance?
Or is he still a good and solid member of that wretched cult?
It’s immaterial now, of course. We are long past the point where the pebbles’ opinions matter, and crimes already done cannot be undone.
But once in a while, I think of it.
And for a moment – a pointless, irrelevant moment – I still wonder.
Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead
What a bizarre thing to censor. Surely they could just disprove the bits that were untrue, rather than enforcing groupthink. Countries aren’t your friend.
That's just what the .ml admins do, check out the megathread
Any criticism of them, their instance, the triad, their stances, preferred sources or their favored authoritarian regimes are generally removed.
And, as a cherry on top, they'll turn around and criticize other instances like .world or SJW as the ones who censor "wrong think" or censor criticism of the instance lol
