Scott Horton's speech to the Tbilisi Summer Forum on June 6th No offense, but Georgia's interests are just none of my affair. It's such a long way from here.Antiwar.com
Donald Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan said Saturday the administration is planning to send in the National Guard Saturday evening to quell protests in Los Angeles.“This is about enforcing the law, and again, we’re not going to apologize for doing it,” Homan said on Fox News. He continued: “We’re already ahead of the game. We were already mobilizing. We’re gonna bring National Guard in tonight. We’re gonna continue doing our job. We’re gonna push back on these people, and we’re gonna [enforce] the law.”
On Saturday night, following Homan’s on-camera remarks, both national Democratic and Republican figures were scrambling to figure out if he was just mouthing off, or if the federal troops were actually on their way, or just … what the hell was going on.
Two Trump administration officials say they learned about the alleged National Guard plans from journalists such as Rolling Stone’s who had reached out to them on Saturday evening, asking for clarification.
Homan did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
“The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) wrote on Bluesky Saturday evening. “That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.”
He added, “LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need. The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.”
The president can request, but not order, a governor to deploy their state’s National Guard. The governor can refuse the request, and Trump would not be allowed under the Constitution to send National Guard troops to California from other states. However, the Trump administration has previously mulled invoking the Insurrection Act, which could allow the president to deploy the U.S. military domestically, federalize the National Guard, and send in troops to quell uprisings or civil disorder.
Editorializing beyond here:
The Insurrectionist invokes the Insurrection Act.
Donald Trump will send 2,000 National Guard to quell ICE protests in Los Angeles, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.Naomi LaChance (Rolling Stone)
i don’t think this will go well for trump ultimately.
Like, two ways this goes, the national guard shows up, says “there are no ongoing and active riots so we’re done.” and leave
Or they just make a big PR mess for trump by massively over reacting to something.

Un journaliste de la chaîne australienne Channel prise pour cible par la police a los angeles
Si la violence policière ici semble similaire à la brutalité des forces d’occupation israéliennes, ne soyez pas surpris… La police américaine reçoit une partie de sa formation en Israël !
** à Los Angeles** pas été surpris par les émeutes ou la violence.
Pas même la sévérité de la gestion de cette crise #trump ; l'homme n'éprouve que des sentiments de haine envers cet État démocratique libéral, et l'État lui rend le même sentiment, car il rejette sa politique, en particulier celle liée à la persécution des immigrés illégaux, et va jusqu'à leur fournir une protection et leur accorder tous leurs droits.
La Californie regorge d’immigrants pacifiques qui considèrent la politique de Trump comme une menace directe pour leur tissu social.
Ce qui se passe aujourd’hui n’est pas inhabituel ; c’est un conflit naturel, le résultat de politiques qui persécutent les immigrants illégaux – dont la majorité sont d’origine latino – qui ont créé des communautés soudées dans l’État.
Mais ce qui est anormal, c'est que Trump outrepasse l'autorité de l'État et envoie la Garde nationale sans coordination avec le gouverneur, malgré les déclarations de ce dernier selon lesquelles la police est capable de contenir les manifestations et qu'il n'y a pas besoin d'intervention militaire.
Le plus alarmant est que Trump ne s’est pas arrêté là, mais a menacé d’envoyer l’armée américaine et de couper le financement fédéral à l’État.
Il ne s’agit pas d’un président autoritaire menaçant ses adversaires à l’étranger, mais plutôt d’un président menaçant d’utiliser l’armée dans son pays contre son propre peuple.
Sous Trump, l’Amérique ne restera plus la même, et le monde ne restera plus le même.

Since I've left my last job, I've been thinking about the guy who used me as an alternative to ChatGPT whenever he hit a problem that he couldn't vibe code the answer out of at work.
He basically rotted his own brain by compulsively using ChatGPT in lieu of actually thinking with most any of the projects he was working on. Instead of taking the time to read through code in our framework, look up documentation, or do any sort of debugging, he instead just begged and pleaded with ChatGPT to try and get somewhere because "it was faster." Basically just really hammering his brain with the Programmer's Slot Machine. (@davidgerard wrote a really good article here about this specific gambling addiction angle here. I highly highly recommend reading/watching the corresponding YouTube video:
pivot-to-ai.com/2025/06/05/gen… )
Back to the story; When that wasn't working, which was a significant portion of the time, he'd then just turn and use me as a "more informed alternative" to ChatGPT.
I worked fully remote and the majority of our interactions was via a Teams chat. which apparently crossed some wires in his monkey brain and made him start just... Basically verbally barraging me like he would with the company ChatGPT instance. No thoughts at all, just an immediate process of:
- Ask vague question
- Get guess for an answer with a request for more details
- Try applying the guess blindly without thinking if it's applicable at all
- Have it not work and just report back that it didn't work.
- No follow-up details, no further explanation of what was going on or what he's trying to do. Nothing added past the original vague situation
- If lucky, I might get a screenshot of part of the error, meticulously sliced before it gave something useful in the output because he stopped reading error output to things and made no attempt to understand it. (Why? ChatGPT can do that part!)
- Rinse and Repeat until I get fed up and get into a call with him
- Fix the thing in less than a minute, pointing out that he should have been able to tell what was wrong almost immediately if he actually dropped a break-point and debugged the code at *literally any point* along the way
- Fuck off immediately after getting his fix, no thank you or anything
- start the process anew the following day when he vibe coded himself into a corner all over again
I literally had to go to leadership and make them have a talk with him and get him to leave me the fuck alone at work, after repeated attempts to establish boundaries about it, due to how much time it sucked out of me being able to work on other projects. Effectively just doubling up my work and slamming me with burn out right at the start of the year for absolutely no reason other than his belligerent insistence to just Not Do His Job Without His Hand Being Held By A Chat Window.
It rapidly went from a "He sometimes asks informed questions that I can answer and help him with. I enjoy working with him" to "The dude isn't even trying in the slightest and is now basically offloading his work onto me because he broke his capacity to actually do work independently of an external chat window. I fucking hate him and I hope he gets in a car wreck so I can get a break from the bleakness of dealing with him every goddamn morning"
ChatGPT has basically just been an absolute blight for me since it's inception. Going from the team being generally pro-crypto to intensely pro-genAI/LLM because their favorite scammers (er.. I mean YouTubers) had them hooked on a fantasy of some day making it Big by jumping from one Hype cycle to the next. I sincerely was very close to just finding an entirely different career path altogether because of just how incredibly shitty it was working with that team on just about anything, but lacking the job experience on the resume to land someplace else.
Nobody wanted to be an actual expert, nobody really wanted to learn anything. They had their degree and ChatGPT, which means they learned all they ever will need. ...While working in an industry that tends to re-invent itself every half decade or so while half-assing solutions with an outsourced bullshit generator. 🫠
All in the name of "Well it got me from point A to point B faster." and leaving it at that, despite taking significantly longer than they should have from the get go over it.
I've seen and lived what an AI Fueled future looks like:
Mediocre men harassing their talented and likely autistic peers until their peers just up and fuckin leave to a different organization out of frustration and exhaustion.
I think down the road, we'll be able to measure the negative impact using LLMs has on people's cognitive faculties by comparing it to horse kicks to the head, and only be exaggerating it by a little bit.
You’ll have noticed how previously normal people start acting like addicts to their favourite generative AI and shout at you like you’re trying to take their cocaine away. Matthias Döpm…Pivot to AI

Die Behauptung Greta Thunberg würde humanitäre Hilfe nur als Selbstinszenierung nach Gaza bringen ist eine extrem lächerliche Aussage.
Die israelische Regierung darf keine Menschen in internationalen Gewässern festnehmen. Die IDF hat keine Jurisdiktion über den Gazastreifen. Alles was hier geschieht ist höchstgradig verstoßend gegen das Völkerrecht und Aktivist:innen wie Greta Thunberg stellen sich in die erste Reihe um auf diese Missstände aufmerksam zu machen. Denn ALLE humanitären Hilfslieferungen werden blockiert, auch ihre. Anhand dieser Aktion sieht die gesamte Welt wie Israel sich gegen Menschenrechte zur wehr setzt um ihren Genozid durchzuführen.
Genau wie du es schreibst sagt es das israelische Außenministerium auch, aber „Selfie Yacht” ist ggf. nicht der beste Begriff den sie hätten wählen sollen, wenn man bedenkt wie viele ihrer eigenen Soldaten von Kriegsverbrechen überführt wurden Anhand von Selfies und Selbstinszenierung...

Password complexity tips: networkworld.com/article/27262…
Tips to secure SSH: cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-…
The more software you use, the larger the attack surface for your Linux install is. It's always good to take a look at all the installed applications, and libraries, and remove what you don't use anymore. You can also remove packages that aren't linked to anything else and aren't used by anything.
On Debian or Ubuntu, for example, you can find these by running sudo apt autoremove
And on a desktop, you probably already apply updates, or your distro has auto updates enabled. But on a server, it's easy to let things slide, and forget to log in regularly and make sure things are up to date. I'm guilty of that myself.
And just like with packages, libraries, and apps, you should also make sure you only run the services you actually use. You can list all services running with:
systemctl list-unit-files
To stop a service you don't need, you can run
systemctl stop SERVICE
To stop the service from starting with the system, you can run
systemctl disable SERVICE
If you're on a server, the general rule of thumb is also NOT to run a graphical desktop on it. It will often be much more secure to use SSH to log in to the server remotely.
But you might also need to secure SSH first. If you have multiple users, make sure only the ones who need it have SSH access. To do that, you can edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and type AllowUsers then the names of the users that will actually have access to SSH.
Now, something that might be useful in general, for a server or a desktop, is making sure all the users are correctly handled. The first thing will be to disable root login.
If you decide to disable the root account, make sure at least one user has admin privileges though, or you'll have a system without any way to access any task with sudo. Once you're certain everything is ok, you can use the following method:
Edit /etc/passwd, and change the first line, by replacing /bin/bash, or whatever other shell root currently logs into, by /sbin/nologin (or /usr/sbin/nologin depending on the distro)
If you prefer, you can simply disable root login through SSH, so the account is still there if you want it locally, but remote attackers won't be able to login as root. To do so, you can edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and uncomment the PermitRootLogin line, and then set its value to no. Restart SSH with sytemctl restart sshd, and you're done.
To remove the ability to use USB, Thunderbolt or Firewire, you can add the following lines to their respective files (create them if need be). To revert this, just remove the lines that have been added in the various files by the commands.
Add: install usb-storage /bin/true to /etc/modprobe.d/disable-usb-storage.conf
Add blacklist firewire-core to /etc/modprobe.d/firewire.conf
Add blacklist thunderbolt to /etc/modprobe.d/thunderbolt.conf
Linux gives you lots of ways to create complexity in passwords that include a lot more than just length, such as mixing upper- and lower-case letters with numerals and punctuation marks along with other restrictions.sandra_henrystocker (Network World)

“Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard the Madleen [...] This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ’s binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade—their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately.”
I don’t know, asshole, was 1947 worth it? Was close to 80 years of settler colonialism and apartheid worth it? Is the current genocide of the Palestinian people being committed by israel worth it? ravenation.club/@welkin7/11465…
Israel had already declared what it was going to do. This was bound to occur. About baby formula, food and medical supplies, the Palestine authority should step up and handle it.Gaza strip had zero Israel troops prior to 7-Oct-2023. It had hospitals, schools and electricity. Now significant portion of Gaza is rubble and it is crawling with Israeli troops.

Friedensfähig statt kriegstüchtig!
Eine Woche vor der 1. offiziellen Militärjubelfeier- dem Veteranentag - mit der Bundeswehr vor dem Reichstagsgebäude müssen wir noch einmal auf die in unsere Köpfe geprügelte "Wende" in unseren Köpfen aufmerksam machen. Plötzlich wird wieder offen über Kriegstüchtigkeit gesprochen und oft sogar schon ein Datum für den nächsten Krieg genannt.
Angeblich will Russland ab 2029 die NATO angreifen und deshalb müssen wir unseren in den letzten 3jahren bereits verdoppelten Kriegshaushalt noch einmal mehr als verdoppeln (von 2 auf 5% des BIP). Dem Wahnsinn scheinen keine Grenzen gesetzt, denn so eine Erhöhung ist ohne weitere Einschnitte in Soziales, Bildung, Rente unmöglich.
Um diese wahnsinnigen Ziele durchzusetzen soll die Wehrpflicht - und die innere Bereitschaft bei der Jugend - erhöht werden, wie der 1. verlinkte Artikel zeigt. Lesenswert!
Im 2. verlinkten Artikel wird dann deutlich, was die Rolle Deutschlands als Kriegsschauplatz dabei sein soll. Mit Polen an der "zukünftigen Ostfront" gelegen, müssen die Brücken, Straßen und Eisenbahnlinien für den Durchmarsch der NATO Partner im Westen "resilient" sein.
Nebenbei wird dabei auch an die "Probleme" für Krankenhäuser, THW und Feuerwehr gedacht, die mit den hohen Opferzahlen überfordert sein werden. Seit der proklamierten "Zeitenwende" werden Vorschläge unter dem Label "Zivil-Militärische Zusammenarbeit" in die Debatte geworfen, die allesamt grausig sind. Auch der Bunkerbau soll wieder gefördert werden. Dabei werden die Bunker bei der nächsten Ahrtal-Katastrophe genauso absaufen wie die Häuser ...
Abgesehen von den Milliarden-Kosten für diese angebliche Resilienz, die auch in den beschlossenen "Sondervermögen" (Jahrzehnte andauernde Schulden) nicht vorhanden sind, wird es langsam Zeit die Debatte für Alternativen zur Kriegstüchtigkeit zu öffnen. Wenn dies nicht bald geschieht, machen wir selbst Deutschland wirtschaftlich, sozial und bildungsmäßig zu einer Ruine ...

“All those on board have been abducted. They have been taken against their will while they were sailing peacefully and lawfully in international waters…
They were in international waters, sailing towards Palestinian territorial waters, not getting near Israeli waters…
It needs to be made very clear that Israel has absolutely no jurisdiction, no lawful authority, to take over this vessel.”

Iodé is Android, but with all Google software removed. It uses Lineage OS as a base, but adds a built-in ad and tracker blocker that runs at all times, locally on the device.
The ROM itself will be familiar if you ever used a Pixel. On the Pixel 5, Iodé OS 4 was preinstalled, and it's based on Android 13. The latest security update was on January 5th 2023. The Iodé team told me they provide security updates every 2 months, and every month for beta users.
The default experience is as close to stock as can be: you have either the 3 button layout of Android, or the gestures, a dock of apps at the bottom, an app drawer by swiping up, and a few preset widgets.
In terms of apps, Iodé ships with a Firefox fork by default, which disables telemetry, trackers and enables alternative search engines right out of the box. The default email client is Pretty Easy privacy, or pEp. It's a simple email client with an easy interface, that adds end to end encryption capabilities to any mail account.
For Maps, you get Magic Earth, which is also open source, and uses OpenStreet Map. The keyboard is OpenBoard, the camera app is OpenCamera, which, while very powerful, has a terrible user interface and looks pretty bad.
Iodé comes with a tracker blocker built in. This thing works using a man in the middle attack style: the OS intercepts all communications and requests that go out of your phone, and blocks everything that's part of the blocklists. These blocklists are collaboratively sourced, and include a LOT of adblock and tracker blocker related things. This system is based on Energized Protection, which is an open source project licensed under the MIT license.
To complement this, there's a preinstalled app that lets you check out how many requests you've blocked to how many recipients.
Iodé OS relies on 2 app stores: you get F Droid for all your open source app needs, and you get the Aurora Store. Installing apps works very well, I encountered 0 problems here.
Where you'll have issues is running apps that depend on Google services. I tried installing the Youtube app, and it never opened. Other Google apps got me the same experience, like the youtube studio app. Stuff like Google Maps or Google Photos worked, but were unable to use the already added Google account in micro G.
After reaching out to the Iodé team, they told me they have identified the issue, which is fixed in the beta, and will be patched in the next OTA release.
Interestingly, stuff like my banking app worked immediately on Iodé, letting me use the phone as my secure device to authenticate purchases online, something that is usually blocked because the device doesn't pass SafetyNet checks. Here, it all worked perfectly for me.
Compared to Lineage OS, it adds all these tracker and ad blocking capabilities. You could probably replicate that yourself on Lineage, but at least here, it's setup right out of the box.
Compared to something like /e/, the latter has more advanced privacy features, with the ability to scramble your location at the press of a button, and more complete privacy controls.
But /e/ also deviates a lot from stock Android, with their own launcher, their own forks of open source apps, and generally an experience that won't appeal to everyone.
iodé phones protect your privacy and put you back in control of your data.iodé

Zangemann est un inventeur mondialement connu et immensément riche. Enfants et adultes adorent ses fabuleuses inventions. Mais soudain, gros problème : les skateboards électroniques des enfants buggent et les glaces ont toutes le même parfum. Que se passe-t-il ?
Ada, jeune fille curieuse, va découvrir comment Zangemann contrôle ses produits depuis son ordinateur en or. Avec ses amis, elle va bricoler des objets informatisés qui échappent aux décisions de Zangemann.

@milkman76 Neat. I was once you. For 10 years, I only used Linux.
Then I realized that I preferred having fun.
By the way, I also have a Steam Deck. It’s good. But Windows has advantages.
@milkman76 Hey, remember the time Richard Stallman said he was “skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children”?
Seems pretty unethical to me.

Did you know that archaeologists discovered the skeleton of a mouse beside Saint Peter’s bones, beneath the altar of the Vatican’s basilica?

A new paper criticizes the capabilities of LLMs in reasoning and formal logic. It builds on previous arguments made by Gary Marcus and Subbarao Kambhampati about LLMs' limitations in generalizing beyond their training distribution.
The paper argues that LLMs are not a substitute for well-specified conventional algorithms and have limitations that are becoming clearer. The the field of neural networks is not dead, but the current approach has clear limitations.

Just a reminder that Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically any genetic tech today, was only possible because of an extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. The value of basic #science cannot be predicted and often is realized decades after it's done.

China initiates large-scale application of non-binary AI chips, integrating hybrid computing technology into critical sectors like aviation and industrial systems.
A team at Beihang University in Beijing made the breakthrough by merging binary and stochastic logic, enabling fault tolerance and power efficiency.
The team overcame challenges in today's chip technologies, the power wall and the architecture wall, by proposing a new numerical system.

Saw that the IDF has boarded the Freedom Flotilla and arrested everyone aboard: abc.net.au/news/2025-06-09/isr…
Worth remembering that the IDF killed nine people on the Freedom Flotilla in 2010, and injured thirty, so it's not as bad as it could have been. Maybe the high profile of Greta Thunberg helped.
But as they say, it's not about this boat or these activists. It's about the people, including the children and the little babies, starving to death in Gaza as Israel calculatedly denies them food, and locks up the measly trickle they are allowing in behind a ghoulish series of death traps. Good on the Flotilla activists for trying to shine a spotlight on that #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

This is an act of international piracy.
“Catania, Sicily, Italy- The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) confirms that its civilian ship, Madleen, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has been attacked/forcibly intercepted by the Israeli military at 3:02 am CET in international waters at 31.95236° N, 32.38880° E. The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo—including baby formula, food and medical supplies—confiscated.”

DON’T LOOK AWAY The Children Are Dying and the World Is Watching My new book goes live June 15, the day of the World March to Gaza from Egypt. This work is a witness, a protest, and a call to conscience. ➡️ www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCDPVZHV #Gaza #FreePalestine #MarchToGaza #HumanRights #EndApartheid
I think this very precisely describes the methods of consequent #dehumanisation practiced by Western media, that lays the very foundation for the current #genocide in #Gaza.

Melbourne people: there's a snap protest tonight at the State Library in support of the Freedom Flotilla activists. Copy-pasting from the post on the Students for Palestine Instagram:
"The Madleen Freedom Flotilla has been attacked by Israel and the activists onboard have been kidnapped.
"We demand that our government immediately sanction Israel for their attack on the Freedom Flotilla, their siege on Gaza & cut all economic, diplomatic and military ties with the state of Israel." #FreePalestine #AusPol
