🔴 Les fêtes de San Fermin à Pampelune (Navarre, nord l’État espagnol) sont ouvertes chaque année le 6 juillet par un tir de fusée, depuis le balcon de la mairie.
Une personnalité ou une association est désignée par votation populaire sur proposition d'un comité de citoyens pour le faire. Cette année, la votation, qui avait lieu début juin, a mobilisé un nombre record de participants (plus de 17.000 votants) et c'est l'association Yala Nafarroa por Palestina qui a été élue avec plus de 50% des suffrages.
Au moment de tirer la fusée d'ouverture, Lidon Soriano a proclamé : « Stop au génocide ! Free Palestine ! »
Des dizaines de drapeaux palestiniens étaient tendus sur les balcons de la place de la mairie et flottaient dans la foule.
@matthew hey there - couple Thinkpad questions if you have time:
do you have any recommendations for where to get a replacement keyboard for a Thinkpad T480? I probably can't afford genuine Lenovo but I'm not sure about these $30 knockoff ones I'm seeing.
also, the trackpad on my T480 occasionally goes wild with ghost inputs and I have to disable it til a reboot, I'm curious if that's a known issue.
I am in the US, so my prices my be less than if you are in Europe.
My go to place to look is ebay for used OEM parts. Used parts are almost all original OEM parts, while the new ones are frequently lower quality knockoffs.
Seems like there are a good number between $18 and $30.
If you are in the US, I could possibly sell and ship one to you.
For the trackpad, it may be difficult to diagnose if it only happens occasionally. I've seen things like that. Sometimes software. Sometimes a physical capacitive short. Disassembling, cleaning and putting back together could possibly help.

Des rescapées témoignent : des membres du Parlement israélien participent à des rituels sexuels impliquant des mineurs
Par Eliav Breuer – Source Jerusalem Post
Plusieurs femmes ont témoigné mardi à la Knesset des abus sexuels qu’elles ont subis en tant que mineures dans le cadre de cérémonies rituelles religieuses.
Les témoignages ont été recueillis lors d’une réunion conjointe de la Commission de la Knesset sur la condition de la femme et l’égalité des sexes, présidée par la Députée Pnina Tameno-Shete (Unité nationale), et de la Commission spéciale sur les Jeunes Israéliens, présidée par la députée Naama Lazimi (Les démocrates).
La réunion conjointe a été organisée à la suite d’un rapport d’enquête publié le 2 avril par le journaliste d’Israel Hayom, Noam Barkan.
Yael Ariel, l’une des survivantes des abus, a déclaré : “J’ai subi des abus rituels pendant de nombreuses années jusqu’à la fin de mon adolescence et j’ai été forcée de faire du mal à d’autres enfants. J’ai choisi de parler et de faire entendre ma voix. J’ai reçu des menaces après avoir révélé mon histoire. De l’âge de cinq ans à l’âge de 20 ans, j’ai été blessé lors de ces cérémonies.”
Selon Ariel, elle a reçu des témoignages de plusieurs femmes qui affirmaient que des médecins, des éducateurs, des policiers et des membres passés et présents de la Knesset étaient impliqués dans ces abus.
“J’ai déposé une plainte auprès de la police qui a été classée après quelques mois, et je connais d’autres affaires qui ont été classées. S’exprimer aujourd’hui à la Knesset est un moment historique« , a-t-elle déclaré.
Une autre survivante, Yael Shitrit, a témoigné « Vous n’avez aucune idée de ce qu’est l’abus rituel. Le cerveau humain ne peut pas le comprendre. Vous ne pouvez pas imaginer ce que cela signifie de programmer une fillette de trois ans par le viol et le sadisme pour qu’on puisse faire ce qu’on veut d’elle veut sans que personne ne le sache. »
« Ils m’ont trafiqué dans tout le pays. Ils m’ont déplacé de cérémonie en cérémonie. Des hommes nus se tenaient en cercle. Mon thérapeute, son mari et son fils m’ont fait du mal, et il y avait des dizaines d’autres filles et garçons qui m’ont fait du mal. »
« Il y avait des cérémonies et des rituels destinés à me faire oublier », a poursuivi Shitrit. « La police est au courant de cela depuis un an, mais elle n’a pas les outils pour y faire face. »
Les personnes qui tomberont sont des personnalités très, très haut placées. Ces personnes dirigent des communautés et des agences gouvernementales. Ils nous menacent. J’ai des enfants que je dois protéger. Quelque chose doit être mis en place pour y faire face.
« Ils ont essayé de nous faire aimer d’eux – les gens qui nous ont causé une douleur sans fin », a déclaré Shitrit. « Votre rôle est les arrêter, à Safed, Jérusalem, Jaljulya, ou n’importe où ailleurs”, a-t-elle déclaré.
Le Dr Naama Goldberg, responsable d’une ONG appelée Lo Omdot MeNegged (“Ne pas rester les bras croisés” en hébreu), qui aide les survivants de la prostitution, a expliqué que les histoires sont parfois si horribles qu’elles sont difficiles à croire, mais cette incrédulité sert les agresseurs, qui convainquent les victimes de ne pas se plaindre en arguant qu’elles ne seront pas crues.
« Il y a plusieurs années, j’ai reçu des descriptions d’abus sadiques sur des enfants », a déclaré Goldberg. « Les récits semblaient absurdes. [Mais] les témoignages continuaient à arriver et ne cessaient pas. Ils décrivaient des viols collectifs commis par des hommes, et parfois par des femmes. L’abus a été filmé et des drogues ont été consommées. Il y avait des pratiques rituelles et du symbolisme. »
« J’ai présenté à la police les témoignages écrits de cinq femmes. À ce jour, personne ne m’a contacté. Depuis le rapport, d’autres témoignages ont fait surface », a déclaré Goldberg.
Un représentant de la police israélienne, le surintendant Anat Yakir, a déclaré qu’il y avait une unité nationale qui examinait tous les cas et que les plaintes étaient « une priorité absolue au sein de la division du renseignement. »
Les députés qui ont assisté à la réunion ont été visiblement secoués par certains des témoignages, l’un l’appelant un “moment décisif” et un autre qualifiant les révélations de “titanesques”.
Tameno-Shete a déclaré « La réalité nous montre que la police n’est pas capable de traiter les infractions sexuelles. Personne ne veut parler de viols brutaux et d’enfants violés. Il y a des cas inimaginables de monstruosité ici. »
Lazimi a ajouté « Je ne pouvais plus respirer quand j’ai entendu parler d’un réseau d’abus rituels contre les filles et du fait qu’il existe un mécanisme organisé et dangereux et que rien n’est fait pour l’arrêter. Dans cet endroit, nous allons en discuter et essayer de l’exposer pour apporter des changements. »
Deux autres survivants ont parlé lors de la réunion sous couvert d’anonymat.
L’une d’elles a témoigné qu’un cousin l’avait trafiquée à partir de l’âge de 11 ans. « À 14 ans, il m’a emmené dans des clubs sadiques. J’ai enduré la torture et la famine aux mains d’individus bien connus et éminents. J’ai souffert de manière infinie ».
« Il y avait des événements publics, et il y avait des cérémonies internes où j’étais attaché à un grand poteau avec des menottes. Autour de moi, il y avait d’autres victimes menottées avec des rituels de consommation de sang menstruel et de meurtre de chats et d’autres animaux. Ils m’ont dit que personne ne me croirait si je parlais. »
Elle a poursuivi en expliquant qu’elle avait déposé une plainte auprès de la police il y a cinq ans. « L’accusation a classé l’affaire faute de preuves, alors j’ai fait appel, et cela a été accepté. Je suis venue témoigner alors que j’étais alitée pendant la grossesse, mais l’affaire a de nouveau été classée faute de preuves. »
My wife called the Epstein debacle, Trump's Kobayashi Maru Test.
1) The base wanted all the Epstein info and prosecutions. 2) Bondi, Patel, and Bongino made promises to that effect. 3) The FBI had previously destroyed a lot of evidence. 4) Epstein was identified as an intel asset in the 2008 prosecution. 5) Involvement of intelligence services: CIA, MI-6, and Mossad made it a political grenade.
Trump's staff took a no-win situation and then further screwed it up in the worst possible way.

Kommt darauf an. Schon als das Verfahren los ging, haben Experten gemeint, die Totalleugnung werden sie im Laufe der Zeit aufgeben müssen, weil die Richter*innen sonst denken, dass Israel sie für Vollidioten hält, und früher oder später auf die Verteidigungsstrategie umschwenken muss, dass zugegebenermaßen Kriegsverbrechen stattfinden, aber eben kein Völkermord im speziellen. Denn das Gericht ist nur und ausschließlich für letzteren zuständig.

"The Intercept found a gulf between how the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office presented the operation to the public and what actually happened. Rather than serving existing criminal warrants, local authorities conducted traffic stops, arrested people without licenses, and sent information about the detainees to DHS. Only then, after the men were in custody, did the federal agency issue warrants for their arrest."
I’m going to tell you a story that represents my best explanation for how America has fallen into this depressing condition. It’s a story that draws heavily on the thinking of Alasdair MacIntyre, the great moral philosopher, who died in May at age 94. It’s a story that tries to explain how Western culture evolved to the point where millions of us—and not just Republicans and Trump supporters—have been left unable to make basic moral judgments.
This matches the thinking of my master Jean-Claude Michéa, based upon George Orwell ( and his notion of "common decency" as a moral guide). This all goes back to Max Weber and his notion of value-freedom (Wertfreiheit, "neutralité axiologique").
I enjoy reading this ❤ thank you! still a quarter left to read but it's so good it even made me want to eat sth. ;D so I go, make some act of selfpreservation and read the rest for dessert.
I'm having a hard time connecting that essay with the apparent reality of Trump supporters and the seemingly vast majority of them who claim to be "fundamental" "Christians" of some sort.
The disconnect seems, to me, to be that they claim to have a shared morality dictated by devotion to a dogmatic religion. They're not descended from the Enlightenment -- they're a throwback to pre-Enlightenment dark ages, but somehow they latch onto a god-less evil sociopath.
hi greg! (notice: my english is too bad to serve good expression, so beg your pardon for the following) I do not live in america but we sure follow the desaster here in central europe too... I do not have hard time connecting the essay with ongoing reality (viz. ca.60% that 2 paragraphs from "along comes trump"- "part of your predicament") that summs up what I felt in the first election where hilary clinton was on vote - the double standards that were ruling(and are ruling still, like the christdemocrats here in eu) suddenly lost and were replaced by sb. like trump. there is one difference: he had the rhetoric of a wrecking ball. he was talking like an arsehole and made politics like an arsehole. those before him got nobel price for peace but were also making politics like arseholes... I thought that trump would break up the system and he would never get elected again... that was an error here we have von der Leyen and mr. german vote chancellor Merz their double standards will in worst case lead to the election of some right wing arsehole in the next terms - in italy they already have Meloni - the female trump-style. in poland the double standard Tusk now playing big democrat what seems a joke when sb. looks deep enough but in contrary to the trump-style PIS-shits he really can put himself in scene like that... even the green party germany in on european level a christian party. it is a desaster where ever you look - its that instrumentalisation of values which devalues. for me what I read and uderstand from that article/essay is (again) one of the questions to be solved (by us the people of this age): how do we get some common base done without giving up our hyperindividualistic claims. nobody solved that yet. it's on us and those generations who follow after us. 😀 I hope you uderstand me ❤
I think I understand you, but that's not what the essay seems to be talking about.
The author seems to be trying to suggest that the Enlightenment brought about a form of secular thinking that "thinned" morality to the point where people don't have a strong enough guiding belief system to prevent them from doing bad things.
However it seems to me the average MAGA person is a "fundamental" "Christian" of some sort. (I use quotes around those words because there are many variations and they may not all mean the same thing as traditional Christianity). They claim to have extremely strong "god"-linked morals, right down to many being "right-to-lifers" and bible pushers.
Meanwhile what seems to have actually happened in the USA is that all these "fundamental" "Christian" MAGA people have chosen to ignore each and every immoral thing (based on their own "Christian" morals!) that Trump has done and continues to do.
So I think the essay misses the mark entirely. It doesn't answer the question at all.
I don't even think that they believe "Trump is Good" -- they just like the smarmy arse, as if he is one of them.
Now part of that is probably due to what some call "celebrity culture", which may actually be a fallout of the distant past Enlightenment.
How it's all connected, I'm not sure, but the essay doesn't answer that either.

And they keep the TV on just in case. So if someone comes in suddenly they'd get distracted and not sound the alarm for the anti-shoe-at-home patrol 🥴

Fascism comes in many flavors; the German Nazi version of the 1930s is the worse.
Why would anyone expect that the American version of fascism would unfold like the German or the Italian? It is unfolding more like Austria under Orban as the Republican Party promised.
Smith makes the utilitarian argument that it's bad for social justice to call our system fascism. That may be true but it would be more beneficial to hear how whatever is happening to our country now can be reversed and defeated.

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

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)

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.
😢
