#Norway / Divestment from occupied territories rejected

Norway rejects call to divest wealth fund from Israeli-occupied territories. Despite emotional debates and protests, Norwegian MPs voted against proposals to stop the country's sovereign wealth fund from investing in companies contributing to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. The decision maintains Norway's position as the largest European investor in #Israel's occupation.

Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg stated that Norway has "an established ethical regime for the fund" and that they "divest from the companies that contribute to Israel's breach of international law, but we do not divest from all companies that are present on the ground".

ยปThe testimony of the two intelligence sources, along with those of two additional security sources who were in Gaza in recent months, reinforces this claim.

Looking for the Best KDE Distro โ€“ Fast, Stable, and Feature-Rich

Hey folks,

Iโ€™ve been using Linux on and off for over a year nowโ€”not a total newbie, but still learning. I know the basics and usually rely on GPT or forums when I hit a wall. Iโ€™ve tried a bunch of distros so far: Kali, Debian, Pop!_OS, KDE Neon, Kubuntuโ€ฆ and currently running Fedora KDE.

Fedora is solid, but I keep finding myself tempted to try something new. Maybe I get bored easilyโ€”or maybe I just havenโ€™t found the one yet. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m asking for your help.

Hereโ€™s what Iโ€™m really looking for:

๐Ÿ”น Large and fast app repository โ€“ I want access to a wide range of apps, updated quickly, without weird dependency issues.

๐Ÿ”น Great UI/UX โ€“ KDE is my current favorite. I love how modern and smooth it feels, and I want something that builds on that experience.

๐Ÿ”น Stability without being outdated โ€“ I donโ€™t mind rolling release if itโ€™s reliable. Crashes and breakages are a dealbreaker.

๐Ÿ”น Good extras โ€“ Whether itโ€™s unique tools, deep customization options, or just thoughtful polish, I love a distro with a โ€œcompleteโ€ feel.

๐Ÿ”น Active community/support โ€“ Docs, forums, or anything that helps when things go wrong.

Iโ€™d love your suggestionsโ€”especially if youโ€™ve been in the same place: bouncing between distros, loving KDE, and still chasing that โ€œperfectโ€ setup.

What would you recommend and why? Any underrated KDE-based distro I should check out? Or maybe something mainstream but deeply customizable and stable?

Appreciate your thoughts!

Also, if you can, please share some of the best (and free) resources to really learn and master Linux.
Iโ€™m still learning and only know some basics, but I want to go deeper and really understand how things work under the hood. Even if I donโ€™t feel super advanced yet ๐Ÿ˜…, Iโ€™m curious and willing to grow.

Thanks a ton in advance!

#Palestine / IDF promotes officer accused of ordering soldiers to shoot Gazans carrying white flag

An IDF officer was promoted to battalion commander despite a pending decision on whether to investigate reports that he ordered soldiers to shoot two #Gazans carrying a white flag in 2024. Soldiers reported the officer's "shoot-to-kill" order, which was countermanded by another officer.

Haim Har-Zahav, a soldier who wrote an op-ed in #Haaretz about an incident he witnessed in 2024 along the Netzarim corridor, discussed an incident where an officer ordered soldiers to shoot two Gazans carrying a white flag. He highlighted that the order was disregarded because it was recognized as manifestly illegal, which, to him, demonstrated the value of the IDF's ethical code. However, he also emphasized that the lives of Palestinians often depend on the individual ethical standards of the commanders on the ground, leading to inconsistent and potentially deadly outcomes.

[โ€ฆ] "The lives of the Palestinians in Gaza depend first and foremost on the private and personal ethical code of the commanders on the ground... Those who want to kill Arabs, because they are Arabs, will kill Arabs. No one will ask them questions, and no one will investigate or punish them. Those who want to maintain their humanity will do so, but will also know that their replacements in the Gaza Strip might not share the same moral and ethical code. Consequently, the person who survived thanks to a decision made by one officer will die of a command given by the next. If not tomorrow, then the next day"

The IDF stated the incident is under investigation.

Is there a quick way to know which instance might need mods?

As per title.
I've been wondering about this. How can we help when someone managing a community/instance can't find help locally, for whatever reason? Something like an "help wanted" board. Even if it's for one month, three months, etc.

I've been an admin for a 8-9k+ users Discord server for years, but I love Lemmy so much I'd like to see if I can be somehow useful here. I don't think I'm power tripping at all, but have zero tolerance for harassment, racism or sexism, bigotry and honestly want to keep neocons and bigots/trolls out of Lemmy as long as it's humanly possible. Whenever in doubt, I generally abstain from using any moderation power and talk with other mods/users to find the best course of action.

The situation I imagined in the first paragraph did happen to me. Managing the server alone was draining my mental health, and I couldn't find anyone to help with all I had to do. Then someone wrote to me, we had lengthy discussions about the rules and philosophy of the server and we've been co-managing it together for years. Lemm.ee closing down made me think about "how to help where and when it's needed"?

I'm posting in this community in hope that other users may be wondering about it and may find any answer useful.

The Indian governmental incursion must've been part of the original script as all the actors were perfectly lined up and ready to go right at the start.

So per script we're also supposed to be in an entirely different place where novelty injections are now accepted as perfectly normal and fine. Everyone has already come to accept that a deadly invisible pathogen gone 'endemic' so obviously we're going to need plenty of government help going forward willingly or unwilling. vaxpass and digital id been in place for several years and BTC is everyone's favourite novelty currency.

That's the world in which all this was supposed to have happened. But it's not so obviously not an ideal situation for the people running this show. They're essentially just trying out the new arrangement to see how well it goes down. So far not many complaining which means the fluoride supplement is working a treat.

It's likely that Americans who'd want to radically reshape the US (and the same principal will hold in other nations) would make use of foreign and dual nationality individuals because those people will have less misgiving about following radical paths.

For instance, in the UK we've had government ministers who were likely picked up by our security services and selected for power at a young age from abroad. Those people won't care about preserving a way of life.

There's likely political value here in portraying this as an external attack, but is it _only_ that? Could they get away with this if the most powerful local forces did not see this as beneficial to them? I doubt it.

Although much smaller in scale, an analogy here would be the role played by the Israelis in taking down Corbyn for installing Starmer as leader of the UK Labour party. I expect the UK security services approved this on behalf of their backers: co-opting foreign nationals and embassy staff then provides a kind of plausible deniability.

And perhaps that deniability is why the script was written like this.

He's good. I admit to only having listened to a few of his podcasts. I can't say many others have heard of him. I think one other person mentioned him to me at work one time, possibly around 2021.

I read Alford and Secker's National Security Cinema. They totally missed the transhumanism angle on Avatar, regarding it as a pacifist film which slipped through the net.

Films are Not Your Friends, which used to be on Youtube was my eye-opener on the scale of the security state interference in movies and TV.

He did a good podcast on the Manchester / Aria Grande event. Contrasts with the angle taken by Richard D Hall and Iain Davis, though not necessarily contradictory.

There are several reasons why I hesitate to identify as a Christian. One of the big ones is because Iโ€™m not entirely sure I believe in the existence of God, or any gods. Thus far, my approach has been to take Pascalโ€™s wager, but thatโ€™s not a viable long-term solution to the problem.

The other big one is, well, other Christians.

I once saw a bumper sticker that read, โ€œJesus, save me from your followers.โ€ At the time, I was a far more committed Christian, and I found myself offended at the notion. But now? I watch in horror as white evangelicals and conservative Catholics embrace Donald Trump, MAGA, and the moral rot they represent. Consider Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, whose response to the potential Medicare/Medicaid cuts was, โ€œWeโ€™re all going to die.โ€ Later, she followed up with, โ€œFor those who would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ.โ€

With no due respect, senator, thatโ€™s not the Jesus I read about in the Gospel. The Jesus I read about in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (yes, I read all four in their entirety) repeatedly stressed the importance of loving your neighbor. (And thereโ€™s a preponderance of evidence that by neighbor, Jesus meant EVERYONE, not just the people you like/love. See Matthew 5:46-48 for one example.) He even referred to it as the greatest commandment. Evangelicals love to quote John 3:16, but maybe they should spend more time with John 13:34-35: โ€œA new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this, all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.โ€

Rev. Dr. William Barber II understood the assignment. Thatโ€™s why heโ€™s been protesting and praying in the Capitol Rotunda, and why heโ€™s doing everything in his power to stop Trumpโ€™s so-called โ€œbig, beautiful billโ€. He rightly points out that thereโ€™s nothing Christian about the bill, which takes from the poor and gives to the rich, in clear violation of Matthew 6:24: โ€œNo one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.โ€

the idea of a god has never made any emotional or logical sense to me. But I don't dislike the teachings of (maybe a real person, maybe a combination of people or not) Jesus or other such "gurus" of the religious world. Ultimately I note that there are mean spirited and good hearted people and that their religion, or lack of it, has nothing to do with how they are and how they behave.
