It's not surprising, but sobering and alarming:

After members of the new German gvmt cast doubts on 🇩🇪's climate target, claiming it is too strict, chancellor Merz was asked today in the Parliament's Questioning Time (by the Greens) whether he can unequivocally declare that 🇩🇪 stands by it constitutionally mandated target of climate neutrality in 2045. Merz absolutely could not get himself to say that. Instead he gave answers that I cannot find satisfactory:

1) He declared that 🇩🇪 stands behind intl. agreements but avoided the question on the 🇩🇪 target
2) launched into the denialist trope that 🇩🇪 has just 1% of ppl & 2% of emissions, so its efforts make barely a diff (wow - the EU, US & China cause half of all emissions)
3) welcomed reducing emissions abroad rather than at home (used for fake reductions)
4) promoted the trope that climate policies can't be allowed to cause "deindustrialization" (sugg. that's what it leads to; the opposite is true)

in reply to Guido Günther

I installed the latest postmarketOS and found it to be missing, which is why I asked in this release announcement.

I'm guessing that there has been no changes in this release to improve this?

I also really disliked not having navigation buttons on screen, so while discoverability may be forced, it seems inferior to having buttons in my experience.

On screen buttons are predictable and accessible - gesture navigation is invisible and hard to understand, given no affordances.

in reply to Guido Günther

The tour is a good explainer that IMHO should be shipped in full in every distribution (e.g., IIRC @postmarketOS ship a shorter, customized one). But the accessibility issues for people with sensoric or motoric difficulties remain. IIRC, old Phosh was all taps to get to the launcher/multitasking view (swipe up) or quick actions/notifications (swipe down) and if we attach a pointing device, we still have the close buttons on apps. This old way could be all @yoasif wants. @phosh
in reply to 1peter10

@postmarketOS I've seen many people praise the early Phosh interface for everything being an obvious tap away and that there's no need for performing swipes to use it. At the same time lots of people (perhaps more) complained that they couldn't swipe 🫩
Swipes solve some issues and we're in much better place now than we were without them, but I think it may be worth contemplating on how to bring back the possibility of swipeless operation, even if behind an a11y flag
in reply to 1peter10

That said, I recognize that one can't just bring the old stuff back (and come up with a visual design that makes clear what to tap for what just like that), and that an additional mode also requires extra testing on every change/release etc. Still, it's IMHO really worth considering (accessibility always is!), and it may even get some use by people who don't strictly need it (just like high contrast themes do). I don't want to put stuff on your plate or make demands though! @yoasif @phosh

What do you are? Your participation in the government was to increase military spending. Your participation was to fuel the war.

I had Windows on a 4 Tb hard drive in my old Mac Pro and I could use only 2 Tb — because Apple's early EFI can't boot Windows natively, only with BIOS emulation — so MBR it is. Having half the space wasted is very annoying. And yes, there is GPT with protective MBR, but in practice this configuration is very frail — Windows updates could ruin the partition table, they usually create a recovery partition at the end of the disk so if system in your main partition stops booting you could boot off the recovery one. And software updates update not only the system in the main partition, but the recovery one too and if that partition isn't big enough to accommodate the update… A new bigger one gets created! 🤦
I had to keep the partition table backed up and a few times I had to restore it by hand because the newly created recovery partition wasn't in the backed up GPT table 😩
in reply to mirabilos

It's not as bad when it works. I really enjoy being able to just copy the bootloader as EFI binary — as a file, instead of having to write into a specially defined sector, being able to have multiple binaries in one partition, so I can boot several operating systems without having to use a separate bootloader for it — yes, booting particular operating systems requires their own extras, but it can all happily reside in the same small partition.
in reply to mirabilos

I was messing with x86 real mode assembly programming in my teens, but I've never went that far. And when it comes to MBR… I once wanted to change the order of partitions in the partition table — most don't care what order they have, so I didn't know where to look, nowadays you can easily export the partition table with gdisk, edit the file and recreate the partition table with different order — again with gdisk. But at the time partitioning software was very limited so I wrote a C program that rearranged them 😅

It's not that it's complex, but why bother? Sure, UEFI has its shortcomings, but having this higher level of abstraction — at least having a concept of partitions at this boot stage, being able to work with files… I think it's good!

I recently received an email that at first glance appeared to be a well-crafted phishing message, warning that my Microsoft Entra ID was going to expire in a month if I didn't make a purchase. The only piece of information in the message was my supposed Entra ID.

After checking with Microsoft it appears this automated message is legitimate, and it is in reference to a Microsoft Teams trial account I created for a day and then abandoned. But apart from the Entra ID, which isn't mentioned in any prior communications from Microsoft, there is zero context for the user.

How hard would it be for Microsoft to include just a tiny bit more information in each message? Like, "Hey, this message is about an account created 5 years ago, for Teams" or something. Otherwise these marketing messages train users to fall for phishing scams.

After years of dominance in #ESET’s top #infostealer statistics, the era of #AgentTesla has come to an end. It finished H1 2025 in fourth place, its numbers having decreased by 57%. The reason? It is no longer under active development.
The threat actors behind Agent Tesla have reportedly lost access to the servers with the malware’s source code. A successor appeared almost immediately – another #MaaS threat, known as #SnakeStealer or #SnakeKeylogger, has claimed the number one spot.
Recommended as a suitable replacement directly in Agent Tesla’s Telegram channel, SnakeStealer now takes up almost a fifth of all infostealer detections registered by ESET telemetry. Between H2 2024 and H1 2025, its detections more than doubled.
If you want to find out more information about this changing of the guard in the infostealer threat landscape, head on over to #ESETThreatReport: welivesecurity.com/en/eset-res…

At least 20 Palestinians were killed in the early hours of Wednesday following two separate airstrikes carried out by Israeli warplanes in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis and al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, according to Palestinian Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal.

Basal said, "Paramedics recovered at least 20 martyrs, including at least six children and two women, along with dozens of injuries."

An Israeli military court judge proposed on Monday that five reservist soldiers, accused of raping and abusing a Palestinian detainee from Gaza, enter a mediation process, one year after their arrest at the notorious Sde Teiman detention facility.

Last year, a vidoe emerged of a gang rape of a Palestinian detainee by Israeli guards at the Sde Teiman detention facility in the Negev desert.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza – and planning to force Palestinians into “a mass concentration camp”, a leading legal expert has said.

Baroness Helena Kennedy, a KC and director of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute, was questioned on her use of the term to describe Israel’s plans by BBC presenter Sarah Montague.

A group of top economists, incl. Yanis Varoufakis, Thomas Piketty, and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, has issued a powerful open letter in defense of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, endorsing her findings on the economic enablers of what she terms the economy of genocide in Gaza.

Posted on X by former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, the letter arrives amid intensified US-led pressure to remove Albanese from her position.

The American Dream is, has, and always will be, a ***lie***.


When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.

The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.

They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, defunded the schools of their own kids, plauded the ruling class for leaving them alone in time of need, supported masked agents kidnapping regular citizens, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.

Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else.

And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.


When you haven't been exposed to advertising for a while and it's no longer normalised, it's quite jarring. Not because it's annoying or shit, rarely lacking any artistic merit, begging and pleading and lying for attention and complicity - that bit you remember.

But because the only way this crap exists at all is through force, ramming it through devices without permission or consent. An entire industry based on tracking and surveillance to target assault.

It's fucking despicable.

Following the devastating Beit Hanoun operation, in which the Israeli army suffered significant losses close to Gaza’s northern border, many Israeli commentators and military analysts are sounding the alarm: Israel may be sliding into a war of attrition in Gaza.

Writing in Haaretz, military analyst Amos Harel raises the existential question being asked by many in Israel: What is the point of this war?

For those of you using librewolf you may have noticed that color coded tab grouping has been in effect. You just right click a tab and add it to a group, or create a new one with spcific name and color code. Fine, that doesn't appear unreasonable and remains optional for the use to configure.
Now mozilla is coming out with automatic grouping of tabs, based on what criteria, Ai?

Firefox automatically groups your tabs and suggests names based on what you’re working on. It helps you stay focused, find things faster, and reduce clutter.


I sure hope the librewolf gang will have this disabled at build time

Across the UK and around the world, the tide has turned. From musicians chanting at Glastonbury, to students occupying campuses, to doctors’ unions passing motions of solidarity, public opinion has shifted.

People are demanding an end to active participation in genocide and ethnic cleansing.

The votes two weeks ago at the British Medical Association’s annual representative meeting are a powerful symbol of that shift.
