Ich finde Pfingstrosen ja auch schön. Aber die geschlossenen Pfingstrosen (ohne oder mit nur schwer erreichbaren meist gelben Geschlechtsorganen) haben keinerlei Nutzen für Insekten, sondern schaden ihnen eher. Die Signalwirkung haben sie wegen der Farbe immer noch, nur leider gibt es nichts zu Essen.
Pflanzt doch bitte die Wildformen. Die Insekten werden sich freuen. Das gilt auch für Rosen und ähnliches.🌼🌺🐞🪲🐝

»The hooligan fans of the Beitar Jerusalem soccer team don't need a reason to beat up an Arab bus driver who provides them with service, but this time they had one: Zahi Ahmed, an Arab player, had the audacity to score a goal against Beitar, helping his team, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, win the Israel State Cup in the final. To Beitar's hooligans, a goal by an Arab player, especially in the cup final, is almost October 7. It cannot be ignored. Like after October 7, an immediate response is necessary.«
»The way they see it, the league should have been Arab-free long ago; the chutzpah of an Arab player scoring against the most Jewish team – in the cup final, to boot – could not go unanswered. If you were stunned by the assault, how can you not be stunned by the war? «

At least 26 people have been killed, and scores have been injured, near a US-backed aid distribution site near Gaza's southern city of Rafah, according to medics and residents.
A local Palestinian journalist told the BBC that thousands of Palestinians had gathered near a humanitarian aid distribution centre when Israeli tanks approached and opened fire on the crowd.
The incident reportedly took place to the west of Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, and the injured are being treated at one of Gaza’s few functioning hospitals in Khan Younis.
The wording of this BBC article, as usual, makes it seem like the PEOPLE they murdered just happened to be in the crossfire.You know? As opposes to being lured somewhere during a manmade famine. Glaze those Zionist micro dicks some more, why don't cha?
The headline is making the reader commit a 'post hoc ergo propter hoc' logical fallacy to get there. A weaselly headline like that gives cover to those who want to interpret events as the IDF not causing the deaths.
Tanks fired, then people died. How many were killed directly? Any? Did people die in a panic stampede? The headline is misleading by omission, even while speaking basic facts. I suspect people were killed directly by the IDF, but can I support that with this headline? No.
I got that, you started your comments in direct reference to OP's post. I just figured, since people replied to you with comments about the Guardian (which has since revised their headline 3 times btw) you might want to know where that was coming from.
The BBC headline right now is even worse: "Israel denies firing at civilians after Hamas-run ministry says 31 killed in Gaza side centre attack." I'm typing it out myself because it keeps changing every update.
Its enthusiastic support for Israel’s mass slaughter of Palestinians has exposed Germany’s selective engagement with its bloody history that only recognises its white Jewish victims Jurgen Mackert is Professor of Sociology at the University of [...]

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has denounced current aid deliveries to Gaza as a “mockery,” saying they fall woefully short of addressing the scale of suffering caused by Israel’s ongoing brutal war campaign.
As concerns about climate change grow, more people are looking for ways to lower their environmental impact. Transportation is a major contributor to global emissions, and choosing greener ways to get around is one of the most effective actions individuals can take. Electric bikes at lacrosebike.com/products/cyclo… offer a powerful, practical solution for reducing your carbon footprint while maintaining convenience and mobility.
Zero Emissions at the Source One of the key benefits of e-bikes is that they produce no direct emissions. Unlike gas-powered cars or scooters, electric bikes run on rechargeable batteries and do not burn fossil fuels. This means no tailpipe pollution, no harmful gases, and no added smog in your local environment.
Energy-Efficient Travel E-bikes are among the most energy-efficient modes of transport. They require far less energy per mile than cars or even electric vehicles. The electricity needed to charge an e-bike battery is minimal, especially when compared to the energy demands of larger vehicles. For short- to medium-distance travel, e-bikes are a clear winner in efficiency.
Replacing Car Trips Many car trips are under a short distance and could easily be replaced with a bike ride. Commuting, running errands, and visiting nearby places are all possible on an e-bike. By swapping out even a few of these daily drives for electric bike rides, you can significantly cut back on fuel use and emissions.
Lower Production Impact The environmental cost of producing an e-bike is much lower than that of manufacturing a car. E-bikes use fewer materials, require less energy to build, and take up less space throughout their life cycle. While the battery does contain resources like lithium, the overall impact remains small compared to larger electric or gas-powered vehicles.
Encouraging Greener Cities Widespread e-bike adoption supports cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable urban environments. As more people choose e-bikes, cities are encouraged to invest in bike-friendly infrastructure, reducing the need for expanded roadways and parking lots. This shift helps create healthier spaces with less pollution and more room for pedestrians, green areas, and clean transit options.
Supporting a Renewable Future As power grids continue to shift toward renewable energy, the benefits of e-bikes will grow. Charging an e-bike with solar or wind energy makes the process nearly emission-free. Even when charged with standard grid electricity, the overall emissions from riding remain far below those of driving a car.
Conclusion Electric bikes are more than just a modern convenience — they are a meaningful step toward a more sustainable lifestyle. By choosing an e-bike for your daily travels, you reduce emissions, save energy, and support cleaner communities. It’s a simple but powerful way to shrink your carbon footprint and help protect the planet for future generations.
Choose Lacros City Commuter E-Bike, a lightweight electric commuter bike designed for effortless urban travel. You can always feel a smooth and eco-friendly ride with this city commuter electric bike, long-lasting battery life, and sleek design.

We present RenderFormer, a neural rendering pipeline that directly renders an image from a triangle-based representation of scene with full global illumination effects, and that does not require per-scene training or finetuning.
It was taken over buy something called "Muse group". They added telemetry, which is actually illegal in EU, unless you warn about it, and then it can only be used if you are over 18. I think that also makes it against to the GPL license. Then they pulled back, but later tried to do it partially or something I don't recall.
Clearly Muse Group was a bad fit for a GPL open source project.
Edit PS: From their homepage: audacityteam.org/ I can see that the audacious project remain under Muse Group control. I would look for something else. Muse group changed the contributor license to take control away from the community, and give it only to themselves.
Later, Muse Group ruffled feathers with a new Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for Audacity, which contributors were required to sign if they wanted to continue to work on the project. This new agreement also stipulated that Muse Group must be given unrestricted rights to all contributions.
The ONLY reason to do this, is if you plan to use the code in a non GPL compliant context.
Tenacity is actively maintained, and they migrated to Codeberg instead of github. Just seems better all around to stick with it and keep avoiding audacity.

The State of Exception Against the Autonomy of the Communities
By: Orlando Cienfuegos, correspondent for Antorcha Estéreo
Extension of the State of Exception in southern Chile ignites the Mapuche Struggle; approaches to understand this century-old conflict and its relationship with the State of Emergency in Colombian Catatumbo.
May 16 marked three years since the government of pseudo-leftist Gabriel Boric decreed the State of Constitutional Emergency in the southern macrozone of Chile, which covers the regions of La Araucanía and Biobío, in order to placate the processes of land recovery and liberation, as well as the territorial autonomy demanded by the Mapuche communities, the historical and majority inhabitants in this area of the country.
After the longest State of Exception in Chilean history, which resulted in militarization and repression of Mapuche communities, this century-old conflict, instead of being resolved, is becoming more entangled every day, leaving a balance of dozens of deaths, thousands of wounded and hundreds arbitrarily detained for fighting in favor of their communities. To top it off, this week, the Chilean oligarchy, represented in Chile’s National Congress, approved a 30-day extension for the “State of Emergency”, which confirms the criminalizing and repressive policy against the Mapuche nation and the communities that confront landowning interests, multinationals and a State that does not recognize them.
To understand this ethnic, political, economic, ecological and territorial conflict that has been going on for more than 100 years, it is necessary to specify some elements that, due to their complexity and similarity, allow us to draw a parallel with what the Catatumbo region is experiencing, in our Colombia, hit by a “State of Emergency” declared in the same way by the pseudo-leftist Gustavo Petro.
Elements to understand the conflict of the Chilean State with the Mapuche communities.
The first thing that is necessary to know is that the Mapuche are a population originating from the south of Chile and part of Argentina, who have inhabited the lands they now claim for thousands of years, since before the arrival of the Spaniards in the fifteenth century to Our America, therefore their claim must be understood not only in territorial but also spiritual terms because it is justly alleged that this territory and its sovereignty are an ancestral matter, where they have lived for thousands of years, which collects their traditions and culture, where their myths took place and their ancestors lived and are now buried; one of the few territories in Abya Yala (Latin America) that resisted the colonial invasion and remained unscathed until the consolidation of the Chilean State at the beginning of the twentieth century, at which time the Creole elite attacked this area, managing to conquer it with blood and fire, displacing the native communities to 5% of their ancestral territory.
By the way, Mapuche academic Verónica Figueroa Huencho, a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Latin American Studies at Stanford University and professor at the University of Chile, notes that the first explanation of the conflict is historical and lies in the European model with which the Chilean State was created, since “from the beginning, the State of Chile is built on an ‘ideal’ of homogeneity that does not consider indigenous peoples, forgetting our culture, our language, our system of representation. And so on for 200 years.” For this reason, these communities are not recognized in their integrity, disrespecting their Law of origin, major right or their own right, as well as their historical demands, which has led to a lack of dialogue, structural racism and ignorance.
A second element is the economic interests to which this macro-zone is subjected, which due to the fertility of its lands and its water sources, has been the subject of disputes, both by the landowners who, with the concession of the State, monopolize large tracts of land, as well as by the multinationals that carry out hydroelectric and nuclear projects in contravention and without consulting the Mapuche communities, who are displaced by these dynamics. An example of this problem is the usurpation of land that reached its peak with the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who gave forestry companies enormous amounts of land to plant pines and eucalyptus. Although some governments such as Michelle Bachelet’s have made promises of land restitution, the truth is that in practice they have not been fulfilled.
Thirdly, we have State Violence as a constant that, with the passage of time, further deepens the conflict and generates intergenerational wounds that reduce the possibilities of a dialogue process that puts an end to the conflict. In this sense, Verónica Figueroa says that thanks to the use of the Anti-Terrorist Law (against the Mapuche), based on a doctrine of the Internal Enemy, the conflict is increasingly fueled. State violence has slowed down certain conversations that could take place in another way, thus advancing a political solution to the conflict. However, the logic of war persists thanks to a “constant militarization in what the State defines as a “conflict zone”: raids on communities, persecution of political leaders, children who live and grow up under this logic” Figueroa
Similarities with the conflict in Colombian Catatumbo
In accordance with the above, it can be said that the State of Exception imposed in southern Chile has several points in common with the State of Emergency decreed by the Colombian government in Catatumbo at the beginning of 2025.
The first similarity we find is that this conflict dates back a long time, it is not something spontaneous and, on the contrary, it has roots in the problem of the distribution of land, as well as in the defense and autonomy of the territories, which have been built collectively by the communities but that the oligarch and centralist State has tried to usurp by displacing the settlers through force, landowners and multinationals, installing problems such as monocultures, the timber industry and extraction projects.
Similarly, in both countries, militarization and repression have been the formula with which the oligarch State, based on the policy of the Internal Enemy, has mediated this conflict, generating countless disappearances, displacements, wounded and deaths. With this policy, the criminalization of social protest and violence against social leaders is the order of the day.
To justify the actions of the repressive forces and delegitimize the organized struggle of the communities, the States have applied the strategy of flooding these areas with illicit crops, at the expense of the will of the communities, and then militarily attacking these territories. Thus, in the south of Chile, the mass media of disinformation are carrying out a communication campaign where they point out that “criminal organizations with firepower operate in the area that are dedicated to arms trafficking through the exchange of marijuana.” All to justify militarization and make these territories look like a “conflict zone.”
Finally, the most obvious example of the similarity between these two conflicts and the actions of the oligarch states is that in both territories, the governments have promised everything; redistribution of land, universities, job opportunities, etc., but as always, they promise and never deliver.
Solution and conclusion
In both countries, the solution to the problem involves the recognition of the struggle and the rights of the communities. This is why the historian and anthropologist José Bengoa explains that “as long as the colonialist and discriminatory mentality of the Chilean State does not change, the Mapuche conflict has very little chance of being resolved.”
This step would allow, as the ELN has insisted so much, that the solution to the conflict is political, through dialogue and the direct and binding participation of the communities, carrying out real transformations, without falling into promises that will later be unfulfilled. Undoubtedly, reparation for victims is an important point.
The freedom of political prisoners is another nodal point in this political solution, since it cannot be that, for claiming or protesting for the rights, territory, self-determination and sovereignty of the communities, there are thousands of detainees in the dungeons of the State.
From the National Liberation Army [ELN], we support the Mapuche struggle and the communities of Catatumbo for the liberation of their territories, convinced that no one knows, better than the people, how to organize and administer the territory, thus achieving a dignified life, both for rural, urban and native inhabitants.
