Atlanta, GA โ 58-year-old Filipina activist Alma Bowman was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after a check-in at the Atlanta facility. Separated from lawyers and her family at the start of the check-in, abused by staff in the ICE office, and detained without medication, Bowman is yet another instance of deportation being used as a tool to repress immigrants.
Bowman was originally detained by ICE for three years at the infamous Irwin County Detention Center. She later blew the whistle on forced hysterectomies at the detention center, resulting in it being shut down.
Julie Jamora, an organizer with Malaya and the Justice for Alma Bowman (J4AB) campaign said, โShe witnessed and experienced grave human rights violations while detained at the Irwin County detention center. Witnessed migrant women getting unnecessary and forced gynecological procedures, was at the center of a congressional investigation against this doctor. She highlights the everyday inhuman experiences of migrants while in detention.โ
While she was released from ICE detention in 2020, Bowman continued to be a victim of the racist immigration system. She was forced to have check-ins with ICE, requiring her to drive nearly two hours from her home in Macon, Georgia on a regular basis. Despite being out of custody, Bowman was constantly terrorized by ICE, oftentimes not sure if she would be separated from her children.
Bowmanโs detention is the latest in a series of ICE detentions and deportations used to target politically active immigrants and migrants, like what weโve seen with pro-Palestine student protesters such as Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia University and Badar Khan Suri at Georgetown University. Both were labeled as political threats and targeted by the White House, showing that reactionary forces will employ any means to attempt to silence our movements.
Malaya is currently organizing a call-in to the Philippines Embassy to demand they take action for Alma Bowman and push for her release due to her chronic health conditions and the unjustness of her detention. The Consulate of the Philippines in Atlanta can be reached at: (404) 442-5667.

The treaty laid the foundations for a remarkable success. As of 2024, worldwide emissions of the main ODS are 99% lower than at their peak, in 1989, and the ozone layer is on track to recover to pre-1980 levels by mid-century."

00:00 Intro 00:33 Sponsor: 10% off your first website with Squarespace 01:26 What is an Immutable Distro? 03:30 Advantages 05:16 Installing software 07:44 Updating software 10:48 The Complexity problem 12:01 Are they the future? 13:26 Sponsor: Get a PC made to run Linux 14:29 Support the channel
They are linux based operating systems that are designed to be read-only and not easily modifiable.
Most of these immutable distros still let you install apps and packages on top of the system, through flatpaks, snaps or appimages, or with a specific layer of packages, that is kept when rebooting and updating. Some immutable distros give you easy access to containers so you can still use a full system with full write access.
And there are a BUNCH of immutable distros: Fedora Silverblue, and Fedora Kinoite are basically Fedora Workstation, with GNOME or KDE, but with an immutable base. Vanilla OS is an Ubuntu based, soon to be debian based immutable distro that gives you access to any packaging format through containers. BLendOS does the same thing, but based on Arch. SteamOS, the linux distribution that powers the steam deck, and also my Linux gaming console / PC is also immutable.
You could also say that NixOS is an immutable distribution, since you only install things and modify configurations through a declarative config file that is used to build the system. And there are a lot more, like microOS from openSUSE, endlessOS, and more!
So in terms of advantages, immutable distros are just way more secure. Since you, the user can't modify the base system, and since the super user can't do it either, it also means any third party programs also can't modify that base system.
Another advantage is reliability. Since you can't tinker with the system files, you also have a much smaller chance of actually destroying your system.
And in terms of maintenance, since you only use an updated system after a reboot, there is no risk of breaking something by updating it while it's running.
But how do I install anything if I can't write to the system? Most immutable distros work around that using universal packaging formats like flatpaks, snaps and appimages.
But that's not the only way to install stuff to an immutable distro. A lot of them actually still let you install packages to the system, in a dedicated layer. That's called "layering".
WHat this means is that you still have access to the distro's repos of packages, and you can still elect to install some, but you won't use the usual package manager, but another dedicated tool.
Some immutable distributions also use containers, generally with something like distrobox.
Another difference that can be considered a drawback is updating. Updates on immutable distros are never applied in place. When an update is available, they'll build another system image. So you end up with 2 systems; the one you're currently using, and the updated one, which is not currently active. And you only get the updates after you reboot onto that new system image.
Another drawback is the complexity of these systems. Everything you try to do is different: installing a package doesn't use your usual package manager. Applying updates isn't the same command, or requires you to reboot to actually use the updated system.
Immutable distros are a different sort of system, with different tools to interact with things you might already know how to do.
Are they the future? Probably not. For servers, they make a lot of sense. For regular users, they do have a lot of advantages, but they also have a bunch of limitations that require the use of workarounds.
And so I don't think immutable distros will replace regular distros. They'll grow, and occupy a space next to let's call them "mutable" systems, but they'll probably never be the default thing most people use.
I found this interesting in a way that really did not directly relate to the subject of the video, but they talk about an experiment where they train one creature, take RNA from it and inject it in another, and that creature then displays memories from the trained creature.
This suggests involvement in RNA in memories other than just genetic evolution memories, but actual memories acquired during the organisms lifetime.
And if this is the case, then you really have to wonder what the REAL purposes of Fauci's modified Covid-19 and Bill Gates MRNA vax was.

Saw the new Mission Impossible movie and it was good. Villain had a great voice, and they did a lot to pay off plot points from other movies. The most unbelievable thing was that a shechimp was the most rational leader in America, but that was baked into the sci-fi of the setting ever since the smartest man in the world was cast as a fat man in movie 1.
It helps that I tried to watch the new black Roadhouse, where even the titular location had all Whiteness stripped from it and I'm supposed to believe a medium-sized jew is an unkillable meatslab that shakes the earth with every step. Suck my balls and just make a Patrick Swayze sequel.
@porkcow I miss the old television series. It was a nice touch that the machine playing the audio instructions went up in smoke afterwards like the old tape recorders. I never did understand how that smoke would prevent someone from grabbing the tape reels off the machine and playing them elsewhere.
Ok so the cartridge door snapped and it fell inside the console. Was mint condition before. I guess that's just what happens to brittle plastic after thirty years.
Worse things could always happen, but the perfectionist in me is mildly irritated.
Second article concernant l'application SIHA-DZ lancรฉe par le Ministรจre de la santรฉ algรฉrien
Ceci est la suite du billet nยฐ01 dans lequel j'ai essayรฉ d'analyser le lancement mรฉdiatique de l'application SIHA-DZ lancรฉe par le ministรจre algรฉrien de la santรฉ en octobre 2018.
SIHA-DZ - Episode 02
Dans cette seconde partie, je vais essayer de braquer les projecteurs sur certains aspects de cette application dont le but supposรฉ รฉtait de faciliter aux citoyens et citoyennes algรฉriennes de gรฉolocaliser, c'est ร dire, de trouver ร l'aide d'une carte et de sa position GPS, les diffรฉrentes structures publiques et privรฉes de la santรฉ : Des hรดpitaux, des polycliniques, des salles de soin et des pharmacies y compris des pharmacies de garde.
SIHA-DZ disponible en tรฉlรฉchargement sur ...
Le site web du Ministรจre algรฉrien de la santรฉ a dรฉcidรฉ d'hรฉberger le fichier de l'application (en format APK) sur son propre espace de stockage et offre jusqu'ร maintenant la possibilitรฉ de tรฉlรฉcharger ladite application sans offrir la possibilitรฉ de vรฉrifier le hash ou la signature du fichier.
Lien de tรฉlรฉchargement direct (attention) : http://www.sante.gov.dz/downloads/sihadz.php
Ceci dit, pour faire les choses sรฉrieusement, le Ministรจre de la santรฉ a dรฉcidรฉ d'ouvrir un compte dรฉveloppeur pour pouvoir profiter de l'audience de Google Play Store afin de faciliter aux utilisateurs de tรฉlรฉcharger SIHA-DZ.
J'ai donc pris la peine de tรฉlรฉcharger l'application, ayant une taille d'environ 12 Mo et d'en analyser le code sous le capot. Je tiens ร prรฉciser que j'ai tรฉlรฉchargรฉ l'APK hรฉbergรฉe sur le site web du ministรจre de la santรฉ et non celle de Google Play Store et vous allez savoir pourquoi.
SIHA-DZ sur Google Play Store
Le MSPRH, comprenez Ministรจre de la Santรฉ de la Population et de la Rรฉforme Hospitaliรจre a publiรฉ l'application sur Google Play Store, consultable par tout le monde sur ce lien :
Un utilisateur ne pourra donc pas se tromper, il peut se fier ร cet รฉlรฉment clรฉ qui est l'adresse du dรฉveloppeur pour pouvoir tรฉlรฉcharger une application dite d'origine ... contrรดlรฉe et non pas un clone.
La seconde capture affiche clairement que le dรฉveloppeur que de l'application est :
dsii@sante.gov.dz
SIHA-DZ - Sous le capot de l'application Android
Sous le capot et dans le code de du fichier APK tรฉlรฉchargรฉ depuis le site Web du MSPRH, comme dans toute application conรงue pour Android, on trouve ce qu'on appelle un fichier manifest.xml
Dans ce manifest, ce qui saute aux yeux c'est le nom du paquet.
com.maximeesprit.ClusteringGoogleMap
C'est ce qu'on peut voir clairement sur la capture d'รฉcran suivante :
N'importe quel utilisateur curieux n'a qu'ร chercher l'expression com.maximeesprit.ClusteringGoogleMap sur un moteur de recherche ou voire mรชme sur Github pour avoir une explication, pourquoi le choix d'un tel nom de paquet pour une application dite algรฉrienne.
Toujours curieux, laissez votre recherche pour la fin, aprรจs avoir lu la suite de l'article ;)
Aprรจs avoir fait le tour de certains de ses articles, je vous conseille d'ailleurs d'y jeter un ลil sur son blog, peut รชtre que vous allez y apprendre un tas de choses, j'ai remarquรฉ une ressemblance de l'un de ses projets avec le code de l'application SIHA-DZ, lancรฉe par le Ministรจre algรฉrien de la Santรฉ, notamment certaines icรดnes ou markeurs utilisรฉes dans son projet.
J'ai dรฉcidรฉ de le contact via son blog histoire d'avoir le cลur net et si ce dรฉveloppement lui a รฉtรฉ confiรฉ.
Je suis fainรฉant, je n'รฉcris pas de longs mails, j'ai prรฉfรฉrรฉ que le contact soit bref. Voici mon message :
Retranscription
Bonjour, J'ai rencontrรฉ votre code sur l'une des apps du Ministรจre de la santรฉ algรฉrien sur le Play Store. รtes-vous l'auteur de cette app. ? Salutations amicales
Je n'ai pas attendu trop longtemps pour recevoir une rรฉponse, intriguรฉ par quelle application cela s'agit-il, Maxime me rรฉpond :
Retranscription
Bonjour, Je n'ai pas travaillรฉ pour le Ministรจre de la santรฉ algรฉrien. De quelle app s'agit-il ? Bien cordialement
Capture d'รฉcran :
Il fallait tout de mรชme prรฉciser, alors j'ai fais de mon mieux pour lui fournir des liens et des sources concernant cette application qui contient du code lui appartenant.
Aprรจs avoir envoyรฉ plus de dรฉtails concernant cette application dont tout les mรฉdias ont parlรฉ comme souffler dans un seul saxophone, je reรงois une rรฉponse de Maxime
Bonjour Je te confirme que je n'ai pas rรฉalisรฉ cette application. En revanche, en voyant les photos sur play store, je devine que l'auteur s'est inspirรฉ de mon article ... pour crรฉer sa Google Map et les regroupement de markers. Il a certainement copiรฉ-collรฉ mon code, manifest y compris. Si l'app ne fonctionne pas et que le dรฉveloppeur a ainsi copiรฉ collรฉ mon code sans mรชme modifier le nom du package ... c'est une preuve que ce n'est pas du tout un bon dรฉveloppeur android ^^ Merci d'รชtre entrรฉ en contact avec moi pour poser la question ๐
Wut ?!
Euh ! Wut ! Ehchem Maxime ! J'avais envie de dire ร Maxime que comment รงa c'est un mauvais dรฉveloppeur ? Ehchem c'est le Ministรจre de la santรฉ de la QowwaIqlimiyaSuperPuissanceContinentale mais je pense que รงa n'aurait rien changรฉ.
Je tiens ร remercier Maxime pour ses rรฉponses rapides et franches ainsi que pour ses conseils. Perso, je ne m'y connais absolument pas en dรฉveloppement mobile et ... je ne fais pas de copier/coller des manifests des projets des autres comme Messaoudi Mawhoub.
Au fait, Messaoudi Mawhoub c'est le nom du dรฉveloppeur de l'application SIHA-DZ que vous pouvez trouver en signature de l'APK sur la rapport Exodus Privacy.
Bon, on fait quoi maintenant ? On se regarde dans les yeux ? On contact l'Office National du Droit d'Auteur (ONDA) ? On fait sortir les version 2 de SIHA-DZ ? On achรจte des prรฉservatifs ce soir chez l'รฉpicier ? On fait des excuses ร Maxime ou bien ... On fume du thรฉ, on reste รฉveillรฉs, le cauchemar continue ?
La voix des utilisateurs et utilisatrices
Et les utilisateurs ont un avis tranchรฉ.
Merci de m'avoir lu ! Salutations aux mรฉdecins rรฉsidents algรฉriens et algรฉriennes ;) ainsi qu'aux devs Android arrรชtรฉs par la gendarmerie pour interrogatoires.
What are the implications for user trust and data security when a government health Crazy Cattle 3D Unblocked application is distributed via a direct APK download without hash verification or digital signature validation?
Crazy Cattle 3D is a free, indie battle royale where you control a 3d sheep in chaotic, physics-based arenas. With no upgrades, skill rules, just run like a crazy sheep.
Go have a listen to my new album, The Mechanics of Mysticism, and immerse yourself in a psychedelic soundscape of weird wizard synth and uncanny ghostwave.
Friday is here and that means a new Other People's Music! Post rock meets post ambient! Post punk! Plus minimalist drone, vintage-flavored indie rock, & more!
it was a bittersweet thing, it had to go unfortunately. but, its always good to practice gratefulness for what we have. at least we have comfy channel for a few weeks ๐ you should maybe do a #RFFF show!
Ahoy friends. The world needs more #comfy. If the weekend means a chance to relax or just more work/stress we're back to help you thru.
As a gift to old friends, for others to get a tiny taste of what #RFF was all about, and because times require comfy measures, we've popped up the Comfy Channel as it was for the month of June.
