For the past two weeks, I’ve been testing Sky, the new app by the original Shortcuts team.

It’s a mind-blowing app that brings AI + automation everywhere on your Mac. Coming later this year. It’ll change how we think of AI features on macOS.

Parce qu'il faut mettre le doigt dessus, le jeu des médias, qui fait des drames ici, et passe sous silence des informations qui révèlent l'état de notre monde. Tant d'inégalités !
Non, La Réunion n'est pas détruite ! Des dégâts, comme en serait-il autrement lors du passage d'un cyclone ? Des vents très forts, plus de 200km/heure, ce sera chose courante maintenant avec le dérèglement climatique. Mayotte a été détruite, les constructions y sont si fragiles !
Nous sommes restés plusieurs jours sans eau, ni électricité, mais tout est rentré dans l'ordre et enfin c'est la fin du vacarme des groupes électrogènes !

Ainsi nous avons retrouvé notre petit confort, alors qu'à Madagascar...
Deux cyclones dans la zone en même temps :

"D’après le premier bilan officiel publié par le Bureau National de Gestion des Risques et de Catastrophes, ce samedi 1er mars en fin d’après-midi, Honde a fait trois morts à Ampanihy Ouest et 42 blessés.
Par ailleurs, le nombre de personnes sinistrées s’élève à 38 949 , soit 9 303 familles, dont la majorité est recensée dans les villes de Toliara I et II. Plus de 20 000 personnes ont dû quitter leurs habitations pour rejoindre les sites d’hébergement.
Même si son épicentre n’a pas touché terre, le cyclone Honda a aussi laissé des dégâts matériels importants : 7 099 maisons inondées et 1 271 autres sont complètement détruites. "

Plus de 20 000 sinistrés qui eux ne connaissent jamais ce confort dont je parlais.

Newly uncovered ABC footage helps family hear late war hero father's voice again

Check comments below the video. Currently there are 491 comments.

"My brother was killed in Vietnam on May 24 1968. I would give anything to have had the chance to hear his voice. This family is so fortunate and have been given a great gift. I had recently read about Captain Pitts and I am glad to have found this video. He seems to be a very brave and caring man. Prayers for his family."

@monarchist

During the Vietnam War, many in political office including the Military Industrial Complex were as evil as the Communists. Research the ROE in Nam instituted by LBJ & McNamara to discover how many military patriots were killed & maimed by our own people in government & corporations. Then look at the repercussions of Agent Orange that is destroying lives to this day. What Corps profited from killing our own troops in Nam??

I just picked up my CPAP machine today.

And of course it’s internet enabled.

Even has its own SIM card and was already transmitting data while learning how to set it up at the home care office.

I don’t mind if it collected stats on me.

I don’t mind if it sent it to my doctor.

But, from what I understand, it’s also sending data to my insurance company.

That is a bridge too far, but I need the damn thing to survive.

FUCK CAPITALISM!

in reply to Marcus "MajorLinux" Summers

Pull the SIM out and tape it to the inside wall of a mug with water in it and put it in the microwave for 60 seconds. Let it dry. Then put it back in. Should be no more data transmitted after that. Taped to the inner wall to guarantee it gets exposed to as much high frequency electromagnetic radiation in the microwave. Water to absorb some of the radiation and to prevent any "fires" if the SIM combusts.

Bir halkın iradesini teslim alma hikâyesi...

Ahmet Zeki Okçuoğlu

Bu yazıda size, bir halkın kurtarıcı arayışının nasıl tuzağa dönüştüğünü anlatacağım...
Niccolò Machiavelli, Livy Üzerine Söylevler adlı eserinde Britanya’daki Kelt halkının nasıl kendi kıyametini hazırladığını anlatır.
5. yüzyılda Roma çekildiğinde Britanya savunmasız kalmıştı. Keltler, kuzeyden gelen saldırılara karşı koyamayınca, kuzeyden gelen düşmanları püskürtmeleri için savaşçı iki Cermen aşiretini ülkelerine davet ettiler: Anglo ve Saksonlar.
Bu savaşçılar bir süre sonra Britanya'nın efendilerine dönüştüler ve onları davet eden Kelt halkı ise bu yabancıların köleleri oldular.
Bu hadiseyi anlattıktan sonra Machiavelli, son derece ilham verici şu tespitte bulunur:
“Kendi kılıcını değil de yabancının kılıcını kullanarak güvenlik arayan bir halk, sonunda hem güvenliğini hem hürriyetini kaybeder.” (Discorsi, II. Kitap, 30. Bölüm)
Bu hikâyede Kelt halkının köleleşmesinde esas olan dışardan gelen tehdidin büyüklüğü değildir; onun kendisinden olmayan bir güce sığınarak kurtuluşu onda aramasıdır.
Kelt halkının zaafiyeti, yalnızca kurtarıcı olarak sığındığı gücün ülkelerini istila etmelerini kolaylaştırmakla kalmayacak, dış gücün halkın iradesini ele geçirmesini de mümkün kılacaktı.
Günümüzde aynı hikaye daha incelikli metotlarla yaşanıyor. Fiziksel işgallerin yerini, zihinsel teslimiyet almış durumda.
Özellikle günümüzde savaşlar daha ziyade sahte kurtarıcılar, efsaneler icat edilerek yürütülüyor ve bu noktada tarihsel döngü yeniden başlıyor.
Kurtarıcı arayışı içine giren halklar için düşmanları, kendi elleri ile 'kurtarıcı' icat edip onlara takdim ediyorlar.
Bu sahte kurtarıcılar çoğu zaman o halkın özlemlerini dile getiriyor gibi görünüyor; onların geçmişte yaşadıkları acıları, baskıları, kimlik tahribatlarını dile getirerek o halkın duygularına hitap ediyorlar. Ama zamanda bu sahte kurtarıcının, halkı özgürlüğe götürmek yerine köleci sisteme mahkum ettiğine şahit olunur. Ve halk, bir noktadan sonra artık kendisi için değil, sahte kurtarıcı için yaşamaya başlar: "Bê serok jîyan nabe!"
Sahte kurtarıcının son durağı, onun tanrılaştırılmasıdır...
Sahte kurtarıcının, o halkın düşmanları tarafından, tanrısal özelliklerle teçhiz edilmesi, düşmanın en çok istediği şeydir. Çünkü tanrılaştırılmış sahte kurtarıcı sorgulanamaz, eleştirilemez, ona alternatif üretilemez...
Böylece halk kolektif iradesini kaybeder, her şey sahte kurtarıcının iradesine bağlıdır artık...
Artık halk düşünmez, analiz etmez, sadece sahte kurtarıcının onlar için ne vaazda bulunacağını bekler; tek varlığının o olduğunu düşünür.
Bu, kendiliğinden bir gelişmenin neticesi gibi görünse de; aslında bu, dıştan kurgulanmış bir tuzaktan ibarettir.
Kimi zaman halklar, kurtuluş yolunu ararken düşmanın kendilerine sunduğu sahte kurtarıcının peşinden giderler. Yukarıda da temas ettiğimiz gibi bu sahte kurtarıcılar başta halkın özlemlerine tercüman olurlar. Ama aslında onlar bir misyonla sahneye çıkarılmışlardır. Onların vazifesi, halkın potansiyel direniş enerjisini kontrol altına almak, yönlendirmek ve içeriden pasifize ederek köleler olarak düşman(ları)nın hizmetine sunmaktır.
Bugün milyonlarca insan bir sahte kurtarıcı/tanrı için 'irademdir' diyorsa, orada artık halk yoktur, birey yoktur, sadece düşman tarafından yönlendirilen bir köleler sürüsü vardır.
Düşmanın inşa ettiği bir sahte kurtarıcı/tanrıya tapan halk, özgürlüğü değil, esareti hak eder.
Sahte kurtarıcı/tanrı, halkı önce ayağa kaldırır, sonra onu diz üstü çöktürür.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social For everyone else that may be a US Citizen and gets "flagged" coming back into the Country: 1. Customs CAN search your phone, your laptop, and your bags. Thank SCOTUS for that. They CAN use your FaceID or FingerprintID to unlock your phone. Any biometric. They can NOT ask for your PIN, "swipe", or anything non-biometric to unlock your phone. Make sure your phone is TURNED OFF before you enter the Customs area! This includes air travel, cruise travel, bus travel, and train travel (if you cross borders). While not impossible it is MUCH harder for Customs or the FBI to access your data if your phone is turned off. If on Windows, make sure you have Bitlocker Encryption turned on and that are NOT syncing your Bitlocker recovery codes to your Microsoft Account. They can easily be subpoena'd with a no-Judge Administrative Subpoena. If on Linux make sure you use a strong Luks passphrase that is different than any of your account passwords. If on Mac same thing for you. Enable whatever it is Apple calls your FDE. For ALL OSes, enable a power-on/ BIOS/ UEFI boot passphrase. This is a separate passphrase that must be entered before your device will even begin to boot, let alone even access your encrypted partitions. Be sure to tell them you do not consent to any searches too. 2. Border Patrol can NOT deny you entry if you are a citizen by birth or naturalized. Flat out CAN'T. For any reason. "Am I under arrest? Am I being detained? Am I free to go?" keep asking them this with every few minutes and with every new person you see. 3. You do not have to answer any questions. You technically don't even need to answer Custom's questions. If they tell you you do they are lying. Full stop. 4. The correct answer to any FBI agent's questions that shows up is: "Am I under arrest? Am I being detained? Am I free to go." That's it. Memorize this. Practice this. Repeat it. Confidently. Doesn't matter how long they are holding you. "Am I under arrest? Am I being detained? Am I free to go?" Because the Courts have ruled that excessive detention is just the same as an arrest and are civil rights violations and by forcing them to deny you are forcing them to also follow the book on their end. Better still, when crossing the border use a pre-paid cell phone and a Chromebook. Do not bring any device that has sensitive or personal information near any US border. Full stop.

New Round of Russia-Ukraine Talks to Be Announced Soon, Lavrov Says en.sputniknews.africa/20250528…

Capital investment is when you use the accumulated value from the past to fund things in the present.

Finance is when you use expected value in the future to fund things in the present.

For the last 40 years the world of finance has been pulling money out of the future to fund the good times in the present.

All well and good, except that the future is now, and the rent is due.

And then they blame capitalism.

This is why cops need to be dealt with "extra judicially" because the Judicial System ain't going to do shit to right their wrongs.

Lyrics:
If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did he come from, where did he go?
Where did he come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to Hell, broken, sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left only men ’cause of Cotton-Eye Joe

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

ne s'intéressaient absolument pas au réchauffement climatique
Alors au fond de moi je me disais "le jour où la montagne tombera
ils s'y intéresseront..:"

Et la montagne a fini par tomber ...

Lyrics:
Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, be happy)
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, be happy)

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
(Look at me I'm happy)

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be Happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me, I make you happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy

Now there, is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy, be happy now

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it, be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Put a smile on your face, don't bring everybody down)
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(It will soon pass, whatever it is)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
I'm not worried, I'm happy
