🇫🇷🇹🇳| Mohamed, un Tunisien de 35 ans, a été assassiné samedi soir en France à Puget-sur-Argens (Var) par son voisin raciste !
Mohamed, coiffeur Tunisien de 35 ans, a été abattu par balles par son voisin français à Puget-sur-Argens. Un autre voisin, de nationalité turque, a également été blessé lors de l’attaque.
Après son passage à l’acte, le suspect a publié deux vidéos à caractère raciste et haineux sur les réseaux sociaux. Plusieurs armes ont été retrouvées dans sa voiture.
Rapidement interpellé, il a été placé en garde à vue. Le parquet a ouvert une enquête pour meurtre et tentative de meurtre à caractère raciste.

“Although we give lip service to the notion of freedom, we know that government is no longer the servant of the people but, at last, has become the people's master. We have stood by like timid sheep while the wolf killed -- first the weak, then the strays, then those on the outer edges of the flock, until at last the entire flock belonged to the wolf.”
~ Gerry Spence Lawyer and author From Freedom To Slavery

Mozilla has undeniably been an important influence on FOSS software. One thing that is often leveled against Mozilla is that they allegedly argued for internet censorship. In an infamous post, they said we needed more than de-platforming, as a bunch of people were kicked off popular social media sites for saying things that went against the terms of service.
Mozilla also has some other sticking points, notably their over reliance on Google's funding, and the fact that their executives are paid quite a lot of money for a non profit that is bleeding users and market share, at least in the browser space.
Another project that you're probably already aware of, is Snap, Ubuntu's solution for containerized apps. The main criticism levelled against snaps is its proprietary, centralized store.
Appimages are a relatively popular app distribution format, but all AppImages do rely on libfuse 2, which is deprecated and obsolete, and has been for a long while: its last version was in 2019, meaning it's been left for 5 years without any security update at all.
Other potential concerns about the AppImage projects are the fact that they're not sandboxed at all by default. There have also been some pretty harsh comments from one of AppImage's lead against apps that refuse to invest time to support the AppImage format.
Another project that has seen a fair few criticisms over the years is Manjaro. They've been known to package unstable versions of applications that weren't published as stable. Manjaro also has a pretty bad track record with security, failing to renew their certificates time and again.
Add to that the fact they partnered with a proprietary office suite and shipped it as the default, or the company behind Manjaro dropping their CFO when he refused to approve an expense for a new laptop, or their tool, Pamac, DDoSing the AUR by making too many requests, and you have a few issues that definitely tarnished the distro's reputation.
Another problematic issue we see more and more often is open source projects switching licenses to restrict what people can do, and open source projects being taken over entirely by certain companies.
A recent example is Red Hat, tacking on some license agreement to get access to the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, meaning that if you redistribute the source code you get access to as a customer, you won't be able to be a Red hat customer anymore.
Another example is Canonical, taking ownership of the LXD project, a project they had started, then gave to the Linux Containers Project, and then grabbed back again. They also removed maintainers that didn't work for Canonical but had been contributing to the project for a while.
Yet another example is Redis, moving to a source available license to try and stop giant cloud providers like AWS from making money off of Redis, but also limiting other user's rights in the process.
Finally, we have Hyprland.What some people have against Hyprland is mostly against the lead developer, not the project itself. He's been characterized as toxic, and the general community is often perceived as expressing hateful views in the form of what they call jokes. Stuff like endorsement of eugenics, calls for violence, or transphobia. The founder of Hyprland was recently banned from the Free Desktop.org community for this problematic behaviour, which went against the FDO's code of conduct. Hyprland's founder then basically doxxed the FDO member who banned him.

This sounds like it is about the flatpak runtimes. One possible reason for that failing is a lack of disk space (especially on 16GB PinePhone eMMC installs). Could this be (part of) the issue?
I suggest using the terminal and running `sudo flatpak update` and see if that gives you more info.
i do get some sick satisfaction from seeing video of fat immigrants getting arrested.
one thing i noticed about grocery stores- it's full of white people on sunday, because they have jobs. during the week, it's full of immigrants who don't have jobs and they're spending their free SNAP benefits.
every last one needs to get the hell out. i don't care how much they fake cry about it on video. good bye.
"Tens of thousands of people killed and attacks on schools and hospitals had apparently not been enough. But, along with the blocking of humanitarian aid and open calls for ethnic cleansing, #Israel’s actions finally became too severe to ignore, deny or justify."
"The facts are clear – but even acknowledging them is politically explosive."
A human rights review of EU-Israel ties is under way. The results will be significant for both the war and Europe’s reputation, says Martin Konečný, head of the European Middle East Project
"When the EU held an association council meeting with #Israel in February and politely urged more aid to #Gaza and a halt to settlement expansion, Israel responded by blocking all aid and accelerating settlement growth."

Blue Labour's pernicious influence over the Labour party is now focussed on dismantling Diversity, Equality & Inclusion provisions across the UK (following the logic of the Trump administration), supposedly to help Labour claim voters back from ReformUK.
But lets be clear; this is just a fig leaf for an older logic that looks to (once again) blame migration & multiculturalism for the travails of the UK.
This would be a move precisely in the wrong direction.
Fake #oxycodone sold in UK containing #nitazenes - has already killed 2 people on the club drug scene in #London - two worrying things - one is that they seems to be produced from the same network as partydrugs (given that MDMA and ketamine is also found in trace amounts), also why are people even taking these for partying? (oxys themselves are no good for that, and are addictive)
A study from 2018 reported the detection of fluorescent nanoparticles in Coke and Pepsi beverages.
This information is listed on the official National Institutes of Health (NIH) government website.
Not to mention, last year Microsoft signed a $1.1 billion, five-year deal with Coca-Cola to do God knows what...
You can't even make this up anymore.
They always have to tell you in plain sight.
It's part of their rulebook.
"Foodborne nanoparticles (NPs) have drawn great attention due to human health concerns. This study reports the detection of the presence of fluorescent NPs, about 5 nm, in two of the most popular beverages, Coca-Cola (Coke) and Pepsi-Cola (Pepsi). The NPs contain H, C and O, three elements with a tunable emission and with a quantum yield of 3.3 and 4.3% for Coke and Pepsi, respectively. The presence of sp3-hybridized carbon atoms of alcohols and ethers bonds was confirmed by NMR analysis. The NPs can be taken up by living cells and accumulate within cell membrane and cytoplasm. Evaluation of the acute toxicity of the NPs revealed that the BALB/c mice appeared healthy after administration of a single dose of 2 g kg-1 body weight. Analysis of glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), urea and creatinine showed that there were statistically, but not biologically, significant differences in some of these biochemical parameters between the test and control groups. No obvious organ damage or apparent histopathological abnormality was observed in the tested mice. The biodistribution study in major organs indicated that the NPs were easily accumulated in the digestive tract, and they were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and dispersed in the brain. In vitro digestion of the NPs showed a sichgnificant fluorescence quenching of the NPs. This work represents the first report of foodborne fluorescent NPs present in Coke and Pepsi, and provides valuable insights into physicochemical properties of these NPs and their toxicity characteristics both in vitro and in vivo.”

Dans L’Europe sociale n’aura pas lieu (2009), François Denord et Antoine Schwartz montrent que, dès l’origine, les fondations néolibérales de l’Union européenne l’ont mené vers une pente qui, depuis, s’est raidie lentement, mais sûrement. Or, « dans les eaux glacées du grand marché, [les] chances de survie [d’une Europe sociale] sont minces », voire inexistantes.
Carrying out an attack with Western propaganda while he tries to talk in #Istanbul about peace with #Russia? Normal people don't do that. Just imagine Russia would do this? Would they report the same way about it?
Lord, send the power of your Holy Spirit upon us that we may remain faithful and do your will in our daily lives. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
