Real estate #phishing?
Today a Greek-American woman asked me about the house next door, which is for sale in some website. Her son had found it. She called the owner to ask for details and she replied that the house is not for sale and that she doesn't know anything about any ad.
The buyer showed me another picture of yet another house in the neighborhood which was up for sale. Again, it isn't!
There's a major scam going on! Unfortunately she didn't show me the website.

# My thoughts on EU Chat Control
I just don't think we are ready for what's coming, most people will be caught off guard when the real consequences of losing our privacy come: democracy and other rights will be affected in the near future, and when people realize this it will be too late (the "I've got nothing to hide" crowd is what I am referring to).
Insane timeline that we live in, I don't see a future where we get to maintain end-to-end encrypted communications unless we develop some sort of peer to peer mesh network that no single entity has control over (that is very complicated to make).
Centralized messaging apps (Signal included) while they can be privacy respecting, they are not immune to censorship or government bans.
And privacy is important, it is a fundamental right that we all should have, and guess what, you know who's not allowing their messages to be read and unencrypted? The people making this law!, politicians and other government officials are excluded from the message scanning... They get privacy!!
To add insult to injury, because the network effect is too strong (as in people don't like changing apps) we will be stuck with unsafe unencrypted messaging, even if an alternative emerges that is decentralized and encrypted somehow.
For now I see no solution for the general population, of course actual end-to-end encrypted chats will not go away, but they will be probably be made illegal somehow, criminals will definitely not care about any of this, so the law is pointless, it just is an excuse for the increasing government overreach on the EU.

Australia - where one in two people is either born overseas or has a parent born overseas - has been grappling with a rise in right-wing extremism, including protests by neo-Nazis.

it’s shopee, which is just like temu
it’s important bc it’s not like aliexpress, it has less variety (not that aliexpress aren’t hundreds of the same products being sold), and aliexpress is a lot more aggressive with shipping costs
here if you are buying stuff that is <50 bucks, shopee is cheaper, but if it’s >100 this flips
anyway i have a matte film for the back of the z fold 7 and a 90 degree usb adapter coming, things i definitely needed
Gaza's Health Ministry said on Sunday that Israeli attacks killed at least 88 Palestinians and wounded 421 over the previous 24-hour period as US-backed Israeli attacks continue across the Strip and the Israeli military is moving to conquer Gaza City…News From Antiwar.com
Polls consistently show that Jewish Israelis view Palestinians as less than human. This deep-seated racism is rooted in the Zionist colonial project and helps explain the broad support for the Gaza genocide.

Why I resigned as chairman of #Amnesty Israel
Israeli human rights groups can’t advocate for Palestinians without Palestinians.
"Amnesty #Israel finds itself in the awkward position of being neither a source of legal expertise, nor providing a diverse human rights perspective of Israelis and #Palestians. It is just another place for Israeli Jews to express themselves.
When I became chairman of Amnesty Israel in January 2024, there were no Palestinians on the board of managers or in managerial positions on staff. By way of comparison, this is a lower standard than the one found in Israeli public service and government-owned corporations, which are, according to the attorney general’s guidelines, at least obligated to have a proper representation of Arabs “in all ranks and professions, in every office and auxiliary unit,” including the board of directors.
I insisted on Palestinian representation in managerial roles, but nothing changed. Members of management and the board were reluctant to make the necessary structural adjustments. "

Question for mastodon machinists:
This lathe is for sale locally and a couple of my friends are trying to figure out what this attachment with the pair of rollers on the back of the lathe does. None of us have ever seen anything like it.
Do you know what it is?
If you don't know, that's fine. You don't have to make wild-ass guesses.

Satan used to have standards. Back masking in metal albums, recruiting through MTG, pokemon taught 'evolution,' D&D had actual demon names in the Monster Manual, Harry potter was teaching real witchcraft, and every Halloween decoration at Target was a portal to hell
the Satanic Panic had variety! Range! Creativity!
Now it's just 'this doll's name sounds like a demon if you say it wrong.' where's the effort?

You can't spell Satan without an N, S and A so maybe they were onto something.

Major European #Warmongers' news of the last days.
"Europe is drawing up "pretty precise plans" for a multinational troop deployment to #Ukraine as part of post-conflict security guarantees that will have the backing of U.S. capabilities, #European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the Financial Times in an interview.
The deployment is set to include potentially tens of thousands of European-led troops, backed by assistance from the U.S., including control and command systems and intelligence and surveillance assets"

A confidential letter by the French MoH dated July 18, 2025, directed regional health agencies to place hospitals on alert for a high-intensity war scenario in #Europe, likely by March 2026, according to the French weekly Le Canard enchaîné. The preparation includes the massive reception of wounded soldiers and an unprecedented mobilization of medical personnel.
In an article titled "The Ministry of #Health Mobilizes Hospitals for #War," published on August 26, the newspaper revealed that the Ministry called on senior health officials to ensure the health system is ready, by next March, to face a "major mobilization".

This is what psychologists call "displacement activity." Keeping yourself busy with something irrelevant to the actual problem, to avoid standing helplessly by or even worse, grasping the bull by the horns.
All these plans are built on the assumption that Russia will accept a ceasefire; yet the more they are announced, the more the chances of a ceasefire are cemented at zero. This war started to prevent further NATO presence in Ukraine and, as they're winning, why would the Russians suddenly stop so NATO "peacekeepers" can come in?
Of course the financiers are delighted. They have a new phrase "military Keynesianism" which means corporate welfare for banks & arms firms.

Ich wollte einmal darauf hinweisen das einer der Gründe das viele selbst da wo der ÖPNV via Bus gut verfügbar und gut gemacht ist, die Verbindung via Bus meiden, da eine Fahrt damit nicht so viel angenehmer als auf der Ladefläche eines Pritschenwagens ist. Gerade bei längeren Strecken im ländlichen Bereich schlägt sich auch das massiv nieder.
Moderne Linienbusse sind in Sachen Barrierefreiheit und Transportkapazität den im ländlichen Bereich früher einmal oft eingesetzten Reisebussen in vielen überlegen, aber eben nicht in allem. Den wenn es um den Fahrkomfort geht, verlieren die modernen Linienbusse auf voller Länge. Da fangen die Busse schon bei kleinen Unebenheiten und schlechter Straße an zu rütteln und zu vibrieren wir irre, daran sich vor oder nach der Arbeit noch ein wenig zu erholen ist nicht zu denken. Das Smartphone, Tablet oder gar Laptop zu benutzen ist oft reine Glückssache und auch die Polsterung der Sitze die einiges abfangen könnte, wird seit vielen Jahren immer mieser. Ja das sind im Endeffekt Luxusprobleme und Überfüllung, ausgefallene Klimatisierung und Heizungen sind schlimmer. Aber das ist eben auch ein Punkt der sehr wichtig ist, wenn man Menschen davon überzeugen will von ihrem bequemen Auto auf den ÖPNV zu wechseln.
