The ship workers - in support of Gaza - have refused to load the cargo aboard the ship.
The container ship that is supposed to pick up the military equipment in #France for Israel is "CONTSHIP ERA", registered in #Greece, which is likely Israeli-owned.

Lemmy is a federated social link aggregation and discussion platform. It’s being developed by the Lemmy devs
About Federation
What does federation mean?
It means Lemmy is using a protocol (Activitypub) which makes it possible for all Lemmy servers to interact with each other.
Think of it a bit like email - you send a message from your gmail account to your friend's outlook account. You're on different servers, but all your messages are shared between you both.
You can search and view communities on remote servers from here
You can create posts in remote communities
You can respond to remote posts
You will be notified (if you wish) of comments on your remote posts
You can follow Lemmy users/communities on other platforms that also use the Activitypub protocol like Mastodon
Please note that a server only starts indexing a server/community once it has been interacted with by a user of this server.
About Lemmy.zip
Lemmy.zip is a Lemmy server aimed at welcoming all and providing a space for all types of topics and discussions, with maybe a slant towards technology and all things related. We are one of the many servers hosting the Lemmy software.
Quick Start Guide
- Feed
Your feed may look relatively empty when you first join, with just the Lemmy.zip posts available. This is because by default your view is set to "Local". You can use the options at the top of your feed to see more posts.
"Subscribed" will show you the communities you have subscribed to.
"Local" will show just posts from communities that are local to Lemmy.zip.
"All" will show posts from all communities that have been subscribed to by members of Lemmy.zip from across all servers.
You can also sort your feed by different options, such as "Active", "Hot", and "New".
I fully recommend "Hot" for a good turnover of posts in your feed.
You can set the default Sort and Type in your user settings to your taste.
If you can't see your own posts in the feed, go to your settings and make sure Show Read Posts is turned ON!
To help new users settle in to Lemmy, we've added some of what we call "Default Blocks" to your account. These are instances where the content is quite graphic (NSFW) or very political in nature. You are free to remove these whenever you want. Go to your account settings (or click here) and go to the "blocks tab". This is a list of all the blocks you have in place for users, communities, and for instances. You'll see there are already a few instances listed. If you wish to remove these blocks, click the little X next to their names, and you'll be able to interact with them.
You can add these blocks back at any time you like. (In fact, we encourage you to tailor your feed to your preference as much as possible!)
- NSFW
We are now a NSFW enabled instance, which means there may be NSFW content in the Local and All categories if you leave NSFW enabled in your account. If you do not wish to view NSFW content make sure you toggle off Show NSFW content under your Settings.
Another option is to select “Block Community” from the sidebar, when on the specific community. Once you have done that you will never see it again!
- Searching
In the top menu, you’ll see the search icon. There, you can search for posts, communities etc. You can just enter a search-word and it will find the Post-titles, post-content, communities etc containing that word that the server knows of. So any content any user of this server ever interacted with.
You can also search for a community by it’s link, e.g. !lemmy@lemmy.ml or its URL, e.g. https://lemmy@lemmy.ml/. Even if the server hasn’t ever seen that community, it will look it up remotely. Sometimes it takes some time for it to fetch the info (and displays ‘No results’ meanwhile…) so just be patient and search a second time after a few seconds. Please note search time may be increase if remote servers are experiencing high loads.
For a more in depth list of remote communities, you can visit browse.feddit.de or Lemmyverse search. From there you can copy your chosen communities URL and search for it in Lemmy.zip.
- Communities
You can subscribe to any community on another server and post/comment on that server, all from this instance. Once you've subscribed, this server will continue to pull the latest content from that community through to here.
The subscribe button is on the top right of the community. Click this will federate Lemmy.zip with that community.
You can create a community on this server too (there is no restriction on creating communities on Lemmy.zip, unlike some other instances) and anyone else will be able to subscribe to your community.
You can see all of the instances we've federated with by going here or clicking instances in the footer of the webpage.
Creating a community? Once you've created your community, you can advertise it via a couple of different communities dedicated to sharing new communties.
There is no problem with having similar communities across instances, as each can host its own discussions, but it may be a good idea to search for a community before creating it as you may find a group that has already done some of the legwork for you.
While this instance is primarily focussed around game and tech related communities, please don't feel restricted to that. Any topic is fine (and encouraged!) as long as it adheres to the general instance rules.
On Lemmy.zip, anyone can create a Community and become its moderator by default. It takes very little effort to create but requires a little bit of commitment to looking after it. You can always choose to remove yourself as moderator (and ideally hand it off to someone else) or delete it completely if needed.
- Funding
Lemmy.zip will never run ads, sell user data, or generate income in a way that isn't clear and agreed by the community.
Therefore if you're enjoying using Lemmy.zip please consider a small donation to help us keep going for the longer term.
You can see mod actions via the this link or by clicking modlog at the bottom of the page.
- Mobile Applications
We have a dedicated mobile/tablet site for those who don't want to download an app. This is a webapp and can be saved to your phone's home screen for easy access.
You can navigate to this site by going to m.lemmy.zip
If you'd prefer a native app, a full list of apps for every platform can be found by clicking here.
An alternative website is also here, where you can filter by platform or type: lemmyapps.netlify.app/
These should all work with Lemmy.zip without any issues.
- Joining Lemmy.zip
Currently there are no restrictions on joining this server. Anyone is free to join as long as they continue to follow the rules in the sidebar.
Please interact with Lemmy after you've joined. The more interactions, the better Lemmy will be (plus, it helps out Lemmy.zip too!)
- Help or Support
If you ever feel you need help or support while on Lemmy.zip, or you've seen something that isn't right or makes you feel uncomfortable, you can send Sami or Demigodrick a message and we will confidentially help. We both have secure messaging links in our profile if you'd rather message with encryption, or you can send an email to hello@lemmy.zip and we'll respond that way. We're always here to help.
- Thank you!
Thank you for joining Lemmy.zip. Please remember, the most important thing is that you enjoy yourself!

5 anni fa veniva condiviso il primo post in questo nostro Social federato. Un buon traguardo per un progetto autogestito.
Alcuni di voi sono con noi sin dall'inizio: grazie! Ma grazie anche a chi si è aggiunto/a da poco! E grazie pure a chi è stato con noi e poi ci ha salutati.

Il y a donc un 4ème Poilu dans l' #Oise !! C'est un mâle et je ne sais pas comment il s'appelle. Il a débarqué ce matin quand j'étais dans mon bus pour partir à Paris ! Je me suis dépêchée de rentrer pour le rencontrer ! On a repéré son propriétaire, je pense qu'il va rester un peu ! Il est super mignon !
Les Poilu.e.s vont avoir besoin d'ajustement. Mais honnêtement, tout à l'heure, tout se passait bien. Et puis le nouveau a vraiment l'air content d'avoir trouvé des potes !
I don't think fedex actually wants to *deliver* packages. I think they want to move them between cities and have you pick them up yourself.
I currently have a package coming that requires an "indirect signature", which their website states "the recipient can sign for the package electronically through fedex delivery manager". Delivery manager tells me that I simply click on a shipping notification and click on "Sign for a package". The shipping notification says "This package can no longer be signed online... blah blah blah".
Meanwhile, the AI bot in the corner is suggesting I can pick up the package at a fedex location. Fuck you. Bring my shit to my house. That's the fucking job. The nearest location requires a 25 mile round trip drive.
So, fedex sucks for me and the GOP wants to kill my access to the Postal Service. UPS is the "good" option, but I'm not holding my breath on that continuing.
Epilogue: FedEx showed up right in the middle of their delivery window, which is a truly shocking occurrence. Dude handed me my package and, DID NOT ask for a signature, even though everything online seemed to indicate that I would absolutely NEED to be home to provide one. I assume he just scribbled something on his digital pad, but I'm really curious whether he would have done the same if I wasn't home? It's all just fucking random.
this is a v important rant. in some ways i dont think anything will bring this country together like how fucking impossible it is to rely on the usps now, and how expensive and barely-better the private options are.
@benda That's absolutely it. I think that's why they're slow-walking their destruction of the postal service. I think they realize it's one of the live wires where they can't afford to move too quickly, lest the public lose their shit.
I will NEVER forgive Biden for not taking decisive action against DeJoy. I've heard all the explanations why he "couldn't" and... (Gestures vaguely toward the Trump Whitehouse)... Yeah bro, no one would ever let a president get away with firing the people on a supervisory board because they refuse to fire a guy who is there to literally destroy the agency he's been placed in charge of. **That** would be overreach... 🤦♂️
those narratives are verifiable bull shit. biden had the opportunity in the first year and a half of his term to put THREE members on the board of governors. we only needed *two* of those three to vote in favor of getting rid of dejoy. biden, in his infinite incompetence, put one republican, and one "democrat" who was in favor of dejoy's 10 year bankruptcy plan. sorry, this is a topic that pisses me off hugely because the msm reports on it picking and choosing which facts to report in order to construct a narrative that dem leadership isnt exactly the same as the republican party. at this point, biden/dnc are just as much to blame for the impending failure of the usps as trump/republicans.
@benda Oh, absolutely. It was obvious bullshit from the word go. It's painfully apparent that the "money assholes" are salivating at the prospect of stripping several government sectors of every dime. One party is busy crying that they just can't seem to do anything about it, and the other party is trying to convince us that we'll actually be happier without. USPS, medicare, social security, the park service... you fucking name it, they all want to strip mine it and sell us a watered down replacement.
the dam will break. and i think fairly soon. the only question is whether we'll be dumb enough to be at one anothers' throats or go for the assholes that ran this ship into the ground.
Time for our Wednesday tease of Other People's Music! This thread will share JUST the first line of each entry, along with links to the music, the artist's socials, and the full review. Don't need/want a tease? Dive into the full thing here:
A compact epic of a single that starts off somewhere between The Streets & Arctic Monkeys & ends up neck deep in Bowie’s underrated late ‘80s/early ‘90s output.
And, as always, please remember that indie musicians live and die by your clicks and listens, and eventually by your monetary support. Please open your ears for anything that looks intriguing and your wallet for anything that fulfills that promise!
On a similar note, I could use your support to help keep making this happen every week! Read, subscribe, repost and share widely among non-Bluesky social media platforms! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies!
"What I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people."
Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 7
"Yet most men don't understand computers to even the slightest degree. So, unless they are capable of very great skepticism (the kind we bring to bear while watching a stage magician), they can explain the computer's intellectual feats only by bringing to bear the single analogy available to them, that is, their model of their own capacity to think."
Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 9-10
🔥🔥🔥 "And so the rationality-is-logicality equation, which the very success of science has drugged us into adopting as virtually an axiom, has led us to deny the very existence of human conflict, hence the very possibility of the collision of genuinely incommensurable human interests and of disparate human values, hence the existence of human values themselves."
Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 14
"The feeling of hunger was rejected as a stimulus for eating; instead, one ate when an abstract model had achieved a certain state, i.e., when the hands of a clock pointed to certain marks on the clock's face (the anthropomorphism here is highly significant too), and similarly for signals for sleep and rising, and so on."
Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 25
"Yes, the computer did arrive "just in time." But in time for what? In time to save - and save very nearly intact, indeed, to entrench and stabilize - social and political structures that otherwise might have been either radically renovated or allowed to totter under the demands that were sure to be made on them."
Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 31
"That was the option man chose to exercise. The arrival of the Computer Revolution and the founding of the Computer Age have been announced many times. But if the triumph of a revolution is to be measured in terms of the profundity of the social revisions it entrained, then there has been no computer revolution. And however the present age is to be characterized, the computer is not eponymic of it."
Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 32
"If a particular technique requires an enormous amount of computation and if only a limited computational effort can be devoted to it, then a failure of the technique can easily be explained away on the ground that, because of computational limitations, it was never really tested."
Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 35
"One programs, just as one writes, not because one understands, but in order to come to understand. Programming is an act of design. To write a program is to legislate the laws for a world one first has to create in imagination."
Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 108
"Indeed, many professional programmers believe that their craft is difficult because the languages with which they must deal have rigid syntactical rules. There is therefore a persistent cry for natural-language, e.g., English, programming systems. Programmers who hold to this belief have probably never tackled a truly difficult problem, and have therefore never felt the need for really deep criticism from the computer."
Computer Power and Human Reason, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 109
"A real reason that programming is very hard is that, in most instances, the computer knows nothing of those aspects of the real world that its program is intended to deal with. [...] It is in fact very hard to explain anything in terms of a primitive vocabulary that has nothing whatever to do with that which has to be explained. Yet that is precisely what most programs attempt to do."
Computer Power and Human Reason, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 109
"A computer's successful performance is often taken as evidence that it or its programmer understand a theory of its performance. Such an inference is unnecessary and, more often than not, is quite mistaken."
Computer Power and Human Reason, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 110
"The extreme phenomenon of the compulsive programmer teaches us that computers have the power to sustain megalomaniac fantasies. But that power of the computer is merely an extreme version of a power that is inherent in all self-validating systems of thought." (1/2)
"Perhaps we are beginning to understand that the abstract systems - the games computer people can generate in their infinite freedom from the constraints that delimit the dreams of workers in the real world - may fail catastrophically when their rules are applied in earnest." (2/2)
Computer Power and Human Reason, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 130-131
"If a theory written in natural language is, in fact, a set of patches and patches on patches, its lack of structure will be evident in its very composition. Although a computer program similarly constructed may reveal its impoverished structure to a trained reader, this kind of fault cannot be so easily seen in the program's performance. A program's performance, therefore, does not alone constitute an adequate validation of it as theory."
Computer Power and Human Reason, Weizenbaum, 1976, p152
"The public vaguely understands but is nonetheless firmly convinced that any effective procedure can, in principle, be carried out by a computer. [...] Indeed, on the basis of this unwarranted generalization of the words "effective" and "procedure," the word "understanding" is also redefined. To those fully in the grip of the computer metaphor, to understand X is to be able to write a computer program that realizes X."
Computer Power and Human Reason, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 157
"When the computer is used merely as a numerical tool in psychology (or in any other field), it does not usually create a focusing of vision; i.e., it is not comparable to the microscope. It is therefore unrealistic to expect such use to uncover previously unseen worlds or to render distinct what was earlier seen only in vague outline."
Computer Power and Human Reason, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 160
"That is why, for example, the computer expert who knows nothing but computers (the "Fach Idiot," as the Germans call such a person) can derive no broad intellectual nourishment from his expertise and is therefore doomed to remain forever a hacker. That is also why the computer metaphor is, as George Miller puts it, "most productive in areas where a considerable foundation of theory based on previous research already exists.""
Computer Power and Human Reason, Joseph Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 160
The analogy to stage magick seems really apt too me. Reminds me of a Pen and Teller clip and one of Teller in which they explain their magic.

Les ouvriers d’une usine de thé autogérée décident d’aller à contre-courant et d’appliquer leurs règles.
En 2010, Unilever a annoncé la fermeture de l'usine rentable de préparation et d'emballage du thé Fralib dans le Sud de la France. Après 1336 jours de résistance, les ouvriers ont célébré leur victoire contre la multinationale géante. Aujourd'hui, avec l'entreprise et la production sous contrôle ouvrier, une nouvelle lutte a commencé dans un marché concurrentiel.

Neofeud is a Dystopic Cyberpunk adventure game in the vein of Blade Runner, but with an overlay of Game of Thrones-like political intrigue, and 1366x768, hand-painted, stylized visuals.
China's CSG commissioned the world's first grid-forming sodium-ion battery storage plant, Baochi Energy Storage Station, in Yunnan province.
The plant is a hybrid lithium-sodium battery energy storage facility with an installed capacity of 200MW/400MWh.
The facility, which can power 270,000 households, supports the integration of high shares of renewables into the grid and alleviates the impact of intermittent supply.

At lunch today, I saw a person, that must have weighed 350 to 400 lbs. He was wearing a dress and had long curly hair, had heavy makeup on and some major five o clock shadow. I am now suffering from PTSD.
✅ The focus on perfect form: calisthenics bros will applaud 2 perfect reps over 50 sketchy ones ✅ Systems built around 'progressions' ✅ Almost entirely compound movements ✅ The focus on the eccentrics ✅ Makes you fucking jacked
What i don't like:
❌ Nothing will make you feel like a more uncoordinated klutz than calisthenics ❌ Progression is actually pretty slow ❌ A lot of the advanced movements are stupidly risky for no real gain [besides showing off]
Let me start by saying, i really don't like any machine workouts, they take something that is probably already boring and make it 10x more boring.
But the rowing machine might be the worst of all machines because you can't really just zone out and do it like a treadmill, elliptical, or stationary bike, you actually have to pay attention to your speed and form pretty consistently.
BUT, i will say, it is _very_ effective both for cardio and a full body workout.
