🗨️ Just had a short conversation with a young man, who quit his service at the #berlin police to protest for #palestine, which is a pretty courageous step in today's #germany
He's now in front of the parliament with his smartphone recording events. Will keep you informed, what's gonna happen with the #protest.
Right now there are just a couple of tents. I hope they can give me any social links, they are not on mastodon yet.
I love how smart these AI technologies are. They understand that "bigger" for cities can be ambiguous, refer to either the population or the area. It's also great that it's showing the sources in the upper corner, and displaying the basic facts.
Small minus on consistency and correctness, but other than that, really a great answer.

This is a good post. She makes a lot of good points and clarifies some important things. The part about the actual translation of the term unveiled some details that I wasn't aware of previously.
Some things were off, however. The notion that legal interpretation 'evolves' isn't quite right. It is more the case that it adapts.
Unfortunately, she does make a significant error in stating that the Shari'ah and Islam are not a threat to democracy (Liberal Democracy, Republicanism, etc.). It most assuredly is. So in this, I agree more with Islam's apparent 'detractors' or critics than I do with the presenter here.
Overall, though, she does quite an adroit job of revealing Islamic jurisprudence and its ethical framework to those who are interested in the topic.
“Give me a piece of bread… I’m hungry.” In a heartbreaking scene that captures the suffering of children under the weight of war in Gaza, a little boy lying on the ground, soaked in his own blood turns to his injured sister and, with a faint, broken voice, whispers: “Give me a piece of bread… I’m hungry.” A wounded child, covered in blood, asking his wounded sister for bread because he’s hungry… What kind of hell are we living in? #gaza #israel #mastodon #Palestine gofund.me/6d3bce17

Another day, another story of toxic sludge cover up…admire the Guardian’s tenacity on this story.
We need head’s to roll…these obscenely powerful water company bosses, Environment Agency stooges and scientifically illiterate government ministers need to be held accountable for mass poisoning.
It’s time their actions were recognised as criminal. Otherwise what will change?
But did they bother to include provision for polluting our farmland?
And maybe bodies other than the Environment Agency and Ofwat need to be able to level charges at the senior management of water companies…because it looks like they’ve all been colluding for some time.

Elin Royles, Carolyn Rowe and Rachel Minto explore the need to take account of the different positions of the devolved governments in order to realise the aims of the May 2025 UK-EU summit.
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)

When “literally Hitler” is your starting point, anything feels justified. If you see opponents as Nazis, normal limits vanish — censorship, smears, violence all become fair game. The moral high ground turns into a blank check for extremism.
We have some new features, quality of life improvements, under the hood work and 🐛 fixes, check out the full release notes at phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.48.0… for details or see 👇 for a short 🧵
Is there a non-gesture based navigation option? I would prefer to play with phosh, but as far as I was able to find, only Plasma Mobile supports button navigation.
You'd need to specify what "button based" navigation is for you. There's a wide range from what e.g. SXMO does to just using additional physical buttons for "back" or "open overview".
That's not full button navigation (as you still need to touch), it's just what Android does. You can map the buttons in a similar way with a little tweaking if the device has the necessary buttons but it's not as consistent as e.g. different toolkits use different key bindings.
Is there any way to have on screen buttons? My devices haven't had a full complement of buttons in years, but I can't get into a completely invisible UI 😞.
I don't think it's worthwhile to transfer the concept of navigation buttons to software only buttons. It's fine for hardware buttons but not that useful for touch screens.
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.
There's a (automatically started) tour explaining the (few) required gestures which has so far been sufficient to have non tech savvy people use the devices but everyone has (obviosly) different requirements.
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
@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
@postmarketOS I mean, I'm not exactly a social butterfly and we had a pandemic meanwhile, but "ooh it doesn't need swipes, I hate those on my phone" was still something I heard surprising number of times when I showed my phone to people in those early days 😂 I honestly didn't expect these reactions.
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
I'm happy to live with the superior UI and am willing to pay for it by being omnipresent.
I hadn't realized you were a developer. Presumably there are no plans to improve this? I would much rather run phosh - I just don't think it makes sense for me to force myself to use a UI that is worse when I am willing to "pay" (in screen real estate) for a better one.
Going to pronounce the contraction "aren't" as 'are not' from now on. Something akin to: Are not you the cutest thing! Are not you going to the store later?
Wollen Sie die Welt wirklich brennen sehen, Herr Merz? CDU & SPD verständigen sich auf Rückschritte beim Klimaschutz. Sind wir Grünen die Einzigen, die für eine lebenswerte Zukunft auf unserem Planeten kämpfen? @katdro bei ihrer heutigen Rede im #Bundestag 👇
What do you are? Your participation in the government was to increase military spending. Your participation was to fuel the war. Your representative, Baerbok, is a hardcore nazi which led your govs relationships to the point of collapse. Your Capital loves your party because you are the best whitewash for the damage it creates in social relationships and in the climate. Yes, you are the ones! @katdro
America wasn’t built as a pure populist machine. It’s a population of states, not just people. Rural or urban, each state is a stakeholder with its own say. We’re the United States, not the United People. A megacity of 10 million still gets one vote if it’s in one state — that’s the design.
Take a look at the plaintiff section of the Newsom suit filed against Trump this past June. Notice that there are two States of California listed. The corporation does not let us vote in a meaningful way on anything. oag.ca.gov/system/files/attach…
That is exactly what is going on. Your all capital name is the corporate name. The SSN is the EIN number for your corporation. More people are getting hip to what is going on.
Due to government staffing cuts, the USDA team were unable to analyse pesticides in the hives and asked bee experts at Cornell University to carry out the research, with the results still to be published.

Experts scrambling to understand losses in hives across the country are finally identifying the culprits. And the damage to farmed bees is a sign of trouble for wild bees too
Gaza ist für Journalisten das gefährlichste Land der Welt. Trotzdem berichten die palästinensischen Medienschaffenden weiter. Kolumne von Sheila Mysorekar. nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1192466.…
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 😩
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.
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!
@mirabilos i switched to gpt when i got a 4tb ssd. actually i just copied my old system over there and then got shocked when i saw its not giving me the full size of the disk. then i realized i had to switch
also, a max of 4 partitions is annoying for some use cases
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.
@vikki @GossiTheDog i dont want to frighten you kids, but you do know that emails can be read by pretty much anyone who is determined enough don't you? thats why your bank doesnt send anythin except generic info via email.
@GossiTheDog got this, too and thought that it is related to an Azure subscription that I created to test something years ago. Fine for them to kill. If my 365 family stops working I’ll be mad.
@GossiTheDog I received one of these too a few weeks back. It looks like it was from when I was playing around with their hosted virtual Windows 11 PCs.
Microsoft are one of the MVPs for spouting how important it is to be on the lookout for random emails, then sending random emails that look phishy as hell.
I should add that whilst I was waiting for a response from Redmond, I suspected it probably was in relation to that old Teams account, reset the pwd for that account, and then looked at the "entra id" referenced during the login and it was a different number.
the only way this email will be improved is if some product manager comes up with a new SKU you have to rent in perpetuity to get those better email notices.
Perhaps those assholes can also make a "Useful Debugging Output In The Web UI P1" SKU for Intune whilst they're at it.
usually the only way I can identify these sketchy but legit emails is because of my longstanding practice of making up single purpose email addresses. How otherwise would I determine PayPal really wants to give me $5 and not a scammer who scraped/stole my address?
Anybody less technical is lost. As shown by the constant questions I get from my parent.
> How hard would it be for Microsoft to include just a tiny bit more information in each message?
I don't know specifically about Microsoft, but from my experience it could be quite hard indeed. Not technically, but organisationally: marketing teams often use their own systems with very loose coupling with production systems, and any non-trivial export needs a lot of extra legwork. CSV files are involved.
It's a hallmark of #enshittification that "legitimate" emails (i.e. not malicious, but still not kosher either) look more and more like phishing and phishing looks more and more legitimate... take from that what you will. 🤷♂️
Today I've opened by mistake Outlook (or however it's called now) and I saw the same email. It said that I haven't used the account for more than 200 days, so I surely don't know which account they are talking about and I don't plan to do anything about it. I'm not gonna give them money for an account that I don't use. The whole deal with Microsoft accounts, changes, forced logins and registrations is really painful and horrible.
Tangent on training people to fall for phishing scams. Piss poor phishing emulation programs.
Congratulations: you've gotten people to fall for a highly specific link that is an internal email from a legitimate HR account that has no external banner like you've trained people to look for, have no reporting and review mechanism for end users to get help checking unclear emails, and then rick rolled them.
If HR is pwned there is so freaking little my account has to offer an attacker. And under some vague circumstance there was... WTF WOULDN'T YOU WALK THROUGH THAT SCENARIO instead of a lazy ass rick roll?
Corporate email and communication etiquette is so brain dead in general I'm surprised anything of value ever gets accomplished.
I've got one basic rule: When I receive a mail that could or could not be phishing, I visit their page, login and check from there. I recently got a message from Dropbox telling me that there are problems with my credit card - and it really looked phishy. Luckily after logging in there I saw the same message.
I really don't understand why companies often don't refer to their pages to validate the mail from there.
Recently received a text from an unrecognized number stating that it was a medical bill and a link to click. Obviously, did not click the link. Friends indicated that it is a legitimate medical bill. Either way, it is a stupid idea. I ignored it and a couple of weeks later a paper bill turned up in the mail.
You can tell it's genuine Microsoft because a real scammer would never be so evil as to require you to make a repeat purchase every 200 days or withhold access to your data.

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…

'Israeli Massacres Of Starving Palestinians Seeking Food Aid – Comparing The BBC And Haaretz. Remarkably, in the aftermath of the Haaretz report, the BBC website has simply stopped reporting Israel’s food aid massacres...B’Tselem reported 130 killed in Gaza on 3 July, 104 killed on 4 July, 86 killed on 5 July, 120 killed on 6 July and 89 killed on 7 July. None of this could be guessed from BBC page.' open.substack.com/pub/medialen… #gaza #palestine #zionist @BBCNews #warcrimes #genocide #murder
On 27 June, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz published an article that demolished many of the conceits held by ‘mainstream’ journalists about Israel’s assault on Gaza.
“At the end of this process, I prepared a “Manifesto for Democratic Society”, which has to be evaluated as a historical transformation. […] I have no doubt that it will epitomize the historical tradition of manifestos.”
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."
The Health Ministry in Gaza reports that 105 Palestinians were martyred and 530 others injured over the past 24 hours as a result of ongoing Israeli bombardment across the Gaza Strip.

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.
The Spanish judiciary has opened a criminal investigation against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and several senior military officials over their alleged involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity linked to the attack on the Madleen humanitarian aid ship last June.

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.
Top economic thought leaders warn that corporations and universities are not only complicit in "Israel’s" genocide but structurally dependent on its continuation, backing Francesca Albanese's recent UN report.
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.
