Just to be clear, when I say that Fedora is the new Ubuntu, I mean that Fedora now occupies the place that Ubuntu used to have in terms of Linux distributions. It's a GOOD thing.

One of the things I really enjoy about using Fedora, is that they push the Linux desktop towards the future. Some call it bleeding edge, but it's not. It's cutting edge: you don't get the absolute latest, but you get the best that's also stable.

Fedora was among the first to adopt Wayland, the first to adopt Pipewire, to push Flatpak, portals, the first mainstream distro to push immutable filesystems in Fedora Silverblue.

This drive towards modern tech was what Ubuntu was doing back in the day: they were implementing the latest versions of GNOME, adopted newly developed programs at the time, like Banshee, or F-Spot, they pushed to have better driver integration, and more software available.

Using Fedora, I got that same excitement I used to get when I was using Ubuntu: every 6 months, there's a new drop of amazing updates. You get more modern technologies, you get improved security, you get new features right as they're being released, and you get that sense of really taking advantage of all that new stuff the Linux community talks about.

Fedora is a "current" distro, which means that you get the latest release of all the interesting stuff, like the desktop environments, the linux kernel, the graphics drivers, or wayland. And they do this without sacrificing stability.

Fedora, in my experience with it, has been rock solid. In general, I didn't have many problems with any Linux distro that I daily drove, but all of them tended to exhibit small issues after a while.

My experience with Fedora has been fantastic thanks to this: Flatpak is wonderfully integrated in the GNOME Software app, it's all a one click install, all updates are handled there, I just never think about my system anymore, I just use it. That peace of mind is something I never truly achieved with any other Linux distro

Another thing I really like is that Fedora has the DEFAULT experience. They ship the desktop as is, without any meaningful extensions, themes, configurations, or tweaks.

It's just productivity central. GNOME, for me, doesn't need anything else than the default experience. It is extremely efficient once you wrap your head around how it works, and providing me with a crutch, like an always visible dock, or desktop icons, would just compromise that productivity.

Moving to Fedora also had me learn a few things, especially how to use dnf. I didn't need to use it, but I wanted to; and since I was a lot more familiar with APT, I had no idea what I was doing.

Turns out, Fedora has a huge community as well, something Ubuntu has had since it began, so it's another checkmark next to my "Fedora is the next Ubuntu" checklist

Une évaluation des mois passés par Trump à la Maison Blanche par un éminent commentateur de CNN.

Stephen Collinson a déclaré :

Au cours de ses quatre mois à la Maison Blanche, Trump s’est livré à des menaces de droits de douane, à des déclarations sur son désir d’annexer le Canada et le Groenland et à la destruction de programmes humanitaires dans le monde entier.

Le résultat, selon lui, est :

« À l'heure actuelle, les dirigeants chinois, russes, israéliens, européens et canadiens ont constaté que Trump n'est plus aussi puissant qu'ils le pensent. Ils en concluent donc qu'il est possible de lui désobéir sans conséquences. » (E)

Seuls les Arabes prennent au sérieux ses bêtises quotidiennes, achètent ses faveurs et lui offrent des concessions, tout en soulignant nécessairement leur rejet de son plan de déplacement de Gaza, mais sans prendre de positions qui contrecarreraient son potentiel ultérieur.

Covert Web-to-App Tracking via Localhost on Android

"a novel tracking method by Meta and Yandex potentially affecting billions of Android users. We found that native Android apps—including Facebook, Instagram, and several Yandex apps including Maps and Browser—silently listen on fixed local ports for tracking purposes.

These native Android apps receive browsers' metadata, cookies and commands from the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica scripts embedded on thousands of web sites. These JavaScripts load on users' mobile browsers and silently connect with native apps running on the same device through localhost sockets [WebRTC]. As native apps access programatically device identifiers like the Android Advertising ID (AAID) or handle user identities as in the case of Meta apps, this method effectively allows these organizations to link mobile browsing sessions and web cookies to user identities, hence de-anonymizing users' visiting sites embedding their scripts."

localmess.github.io/

similar to what ebay does. seems like facebook wants another maximum GDPR fine (which should be increased btw).
these attacks should be mitigated by disabling :javascript: (e.g. uBlockO), blocking tracking scripts (e.g. uBlockO), android without Android Advertising ID (GrapheneOS) and avoiding facebook and yandex sites and apps or better yet all proprietary spyware apps (f-droid.org)

ESA’s ocean training expedition arrives in Nice

After an extraordinary six-week voyage from northern Norway, the iconic Norwegian tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl has docked in Nice, France, concluding ESA’s 2025 Advanced Ocean Training course. Braving everything from wild storms to calm near-freezing seas, students aboard mastered techniques for collecting ocean measurements and harnessed satellite data to unlock insights into our blue planet.

Led by experts, this real-world expedition offered more than education – it sparked curiosity and a deeper commitment to understanding and protecting our oceans.

Ukraine could attack Russian bombers like sitting ducks because the New START treaty. That's why US nuclear bombers (B-1Bs, B-2s, B-52s) are also parked visibly at Diego Garcia and elsewhere; China, who didn't sign the treaty, hides its bombers away in underground concrete shelters.

So of course the US must feign ignorance, else it would obviously constitute unilateral break of a treaty, that could call for thermonuclear retaliation. That's how close we come to global annihilation but, hey, "the good guys scored a point". Morons.

"Nucléaire : la relance de l’atome rejetée en commission à l’Assemblée à la suite d’un imbroglio


Mais un amendement de la députée (Isère, Parti socialiste, PS) Marie-Noëlle Battistel @BattistelMarie
a déposé, semble-t-il d’abord par erreur, un amendement supprimant la construction de six nouveaux EPR2 d’ici à 2026 et de huit autres ainsi qu’un petit réacteur modulaire d’ici à 2030. Elle a finalement maintenu cet amendement, qui a été adopté.
Le rapporteur du texte, le député (Haute-Savoie, Renaissance) et ancien ministre Antoine Armand @antoine_armand
, lui a alors signifié son erreur, l’invitant à retirer son amendement, mais celle-ci a finalement décidé de le maintenir. Il a donc été adopté, supprimant les objectifs de relance pour les cinq prochaines années."

Liberalism flourished after WW2 due to the US's unparalleled economic advantage, which was built on the massive expansion of its industrial base during the war while the rest of the world burned.

The economic supremacy that legitimized western system has now faded and liberal democracies face a crisis of confidence while China's model is emerging as a successful alternative.

@Arindam I'm not saying USSR economy was inferior in nature, merely that the US had a massive head start. The US leveraged this advantageous position during the Cold War to pull of the world economy into its orbit which further shifted the balance of power in its favor.

The problem USSR had was that it was stuck in an ideological struggle with the US where countries were forced to pick bloc allegiance. China managed to avoid falling into that trap.

in reply to Yogthos

The advantageous position of the United States in 1945 was whittled away in the subsequent decades.. and furthermore, it didn't prevent the following:

The USA lost the first half of the Cold War

youtu.be/cK7CUy8PxRQ

(Not just Vietnam, but also the defeat of Pakistan by India in 1971 were indicative of declining American power).

The ideological struggle wasn't the problem - especially since the existence of the Non-Aligned Movement demonstrates that countries didn't have to pick sides. The problem was that the Soviets made a few critical mistakes (the Sino-Soviet split, the war in Afghanistan, the failure to push forward in IT, etc...) - and were subverted. The latter is of utmost importance.. and a key source on it is:

Learning from the Soviet example, Beijing has avoided the mistakes - and has taken extraordinary care to avoid subversion.

Shlomo Sand: De la rivière à la mer, tous peuvent être libres et égaux


#politique #Israël #Palestine

Shlomo Sand nous fait aujourd'hui l'honneur de participer au podcast. Historien, professeur à l'université de Tel Aviv, ses ouvrages font polémique depuis des décennies. A travers "Comment le peuple juif fut inventé", Sand revisite l'archéologie et les faits pour remettre en cause le mythe de l'Exil, fondement du sionisme et du retour à la terre d'Israël. Plus récemment, "Deux peuples pour un État ? Relire l’histoire du sionisme", Sand remet en cause la doxa de la politique des deux états. Il propose alors d'imaginer un Etat unitaire qui réunirait juifs et arabes sur une même terre, de la rivière à la mer, égaux en droits, et libres.

How to edit a PDF document:

One tool that is probably already on your Linux desktop is LibreOffice Draw. It can open PDF documents, and edit them, as long as it's not an image.

If you're familiar with vector drawing programs, then Inkscape can also edit PDF documents. For more robust solutions, you have proprietary commercial solutions, including PDF Studio, Master PDF, Foxit PDF Editor, or WPS Office, but you'll have to pay for them.

How to manually sign a PDF:

Okular can actually do that. You can use the manual drawing tool to write your signature, or you can add the ability to paste an image on top of a document, but it's convoluted. You have to go to settings, toolbars shown, enable the quick annotations toolbar, then click the "configure button", click "Add", select the type "Stamp", and click the little button next to the "stamp symbol" field, to pick your own hand drawn signature that you previously saved as an image. Afterwards, you can just add that to any document in one click from that quick annotations toolbar.

You can also open the PDF document in LibreOffice Draw or the GIMP, and add your image signature this way.

How to digitally sign a PDF:

The easiest way is to use LibreOffice. Open the LibreOffice suite, click File, then digital signatures, and then "sign existing PDF", then the "sign document" button at the top. It will list all the available existing signatures and certificates you have installed on your device, and you can pick the one you want.

By default, LibreOffice will look into Mozilla Firefox's certificates list, so you'll have to put your certificate file there. To do so, open FIrefox, then the main menu, Preferences, Privacy and Security, and then "View Certificates". Then click on "authorities" and "Import", and then the "OK" button, and you're done.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)!

A simple option is GImageReader, an open source app that will let you import a document or image, and will recognize all the text inside, in a very large variety of languages. It can take a while to do its thing, but it works reliably, and it was able to extract text from scanned PDFs and images like a PNG.

If you prefer doing these tasks from the command line, then you have Tesseract OCR, which is actually what GImageReader uses in the background.

How to annotate a PDF:

Your best option is probably Xournal++. It lets you open PDF documents, and draw all over them. You can highlight text, add hand drawn notes, shapes, type some text. It can even handle equations and graphs, and has a very customizable interface.

How to modify pages, split and merge PDF documents:

If all you need is modifying the pages in a PDF document, like reordering them, or deleting them, then you have PDF Arranger, a simple GNOME app that will run on any Linux desktop, and is available on Flathub.

Monsieur Retailleau,

La loi définit l'injure raciste comme « toute expression outrageante, terme de mépris ou invective adressé à une personne ou à un groupe à raison de leur origine ou de leur appartenance à une ethnie, une nation, une prétendue race ou une religion déterminée ».

Quand vous dites que « le vote musulman » est antisémite, vous rentrez exactement dans cette définition en outrangeant un groupe en raison de sa religion.

Retirez vos propos. Et partez avec.

I'm sad to see so many posts mocking the use of #ContentWarnings. They're rarely used, but somehow people act like it's a major violation of their Freedums.

Have you had real, deep, lasts-for-years trauma? If you have, you might understand why a heads-up can be a welcome relief from the onslaught of triggers streaming from the media.

Flashbacks are not something you should wish on anyone, even if you Haven't had trauma yourself. Content Warnings help prevent them, period. Don't be a jag.

@VaylLarkinPoet@disabled.social But there's real societal value in learning to cope with one's triggers. I am triggered by things every day both on the fediverse and in real life and it is a valuable life skill to learn how to cope. I can't go around to people around me and ask them to change their behavior simply because I find something they do triggering.
We have no choice over what happens to us in life sometimes.But we have the choice in how we choose to respond. I'm a firm believer in that. That being said, if I know that something I'm doing bothers somebody I'm not going to be a dick and continue to do it if I don't need to.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is asking members of the world community to either tag on social media or write the Foreign Ministers of the countries of each of the crew members aboard the Madleen in order to offer protection as they sail en route to Gaza. Anyone can help but if you are also constituent of one of these countries, you have an advantageous influence. If you're French, Brazilian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Turkish, or Swedish, you can pressure your Foreign Ministers to fulfill their duty to their citizens and to humanity.

From Freedom Flotilla:
"After drones repeatedly hovered over the #Madleen last night, we need people of the world to help tag and email their foreign ministry. The volunteers aboard are delivering life-saving aid to Gaza. They are unarmed, carrying only food, medicine, and baby formula, and acting fully within international law. It’s time for world governments to step up. Demand they protect their citizens aboard the 'Madleen' and stop enabling Israel's war crimes. Safe passage is a legal obligation, and a moral one."

I will post below graphics with the relevant information for each of the crew members. Please share the word. Thank you.

🧵Gjovik v Apple update: I filed a Motion for Reconsideration in 9th Circuit today. The court dismissed my appeal claiming "no jurisdiction" while ignoring 28 USC §1292(a)(1) - which gives mandatory jurisdiction over injunctive relief denials (my Gobbler claims!). It's not discretionary.

But here's the kicker: While I was fighting this procedural maze, Congress was busy criminalizing Apple's exact conduct through the TAKE IT DOWN Act & AI Whistleblower Protection Act. 📊⚖️

The district court's plays were: ✅ Strike my legal arguments without reading them ✅ Dismiss claim for not addressing the struck arguments ✅ Deny motion to fix problems they identified ✅ Claim I waived arguments they refused to consider

That's not case mgmt!

9th Circuit now gets to decide: follow federal law requiring review of injunctive relief denials or continue enabling procedural traps that silence AI whistleblowers on matters Congress deems nationally critical & I file a new RICO suit.
