For media, unruly protesters are a bigger problem than Trump’s police state. FAIR calls on journalists to focus on the Trump administration's efforts to suppress dissent rather than the broken windows and property damage at protests.

The Iran-Israel conflict will be one of the main topics at the G7 summit – Merz en.news-front.su/2025/06/16/th…

There are brain things that I think people should know and then learn how to use to their advantage and I don't know, whatever.
But, imagine the way you think, the words you use, the tone, the imagery, the self-talk, the images in your environment that reflect you back, the images and stories you seek, the images and stories either imbued or thrust upon us...
These things create our internal filters, the way we see the world. From the inside, through repetition and patterning we create a model of the world, intentionally or otherwise. This model/filter is how we see the world as it occurs. We have no choice.
And we do not share the same filters. Look around, that's obvious.
But, with many people, it's a program.
And here's how. I learned this back with 9/11...
There's a part of your brain called the amygdala, it means almond because of the shape of it. This little gizmo smack dab in the center of your skull behind your eyes and betwixt the ears is like a switch.
If the switch is turned forward, the brain sends electrical impulses forward into the pre-frontal cortex where we think and imagine and create and solve problems and stuff and things.
But when the switch is switch back yonder, the electrical impulses go to the brain stem, colloquially known as the reptile brain. But don't assume that means that reptiles rule the world. That would be absurd, right?
But when the juice is flowing to the back forty, we don't think, we don't reason. Instead, we look to authority to tell us what to do.
Frank Herbert said it best in Dune, "Fear is the mind killer..."
Things things you should know.
Then you should learn how to use your Reticular Activating System.
Yeah, your RAS. I shit you not. Maybe next time...

It is unacceptable that the Collective West supports unconditionally Israel!

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk has delivered a sharp rebuke of Israel’s military operations in Gaza, accusing it of causing “horrifying, unconscionable suffering” for Palestinians trapped in the besieged enclave.

He condemned the Israeli government for deliberately obstructing humanitarian aid and using starvation as a weapon of war.

#GazaGenocide #Gaza #IsraelWarCrimes

in reply to Fou

“Israel has weaponised food and blocked lifesaving aid,” Turk told the Human Rights Council in Geneva during the presentation of his annual report. “I urge immediate, impartial investigations into deadly attacks on desperate civilians trying to reach food distribution centres.”

On 12 June, all internet and landline telecommunications services were completely cut off when Israel launched a direct attack on the last remaining main fibre optic route connecting Gaza.

Frankly, there should be none of this guided crap. All that does is insert bias and prejudices by the person/ org running the "guide".

Instance operators should be able to specify something like a "keywords.txt" file and "description.txt" on their server and allow users to search by keywords and then maybe the server's metrics or metadata.

A I had a nightmare last night

B Arch devs on drugs again


A I read in the news that the US drone used by Israel to bomb the nuclear powerplant in #Iran was running joborun linux. I jumped out of bed in total fear!

But think about it, if you really didn't want to miss your target would you run it on, something with systemd? I wouldn't, too afraid it will drop on my head instead.

The things we don't know and are afraid to find out!

#joborun

This world is turning to total shit run by absolute gangsters and thugs with limited brain capacity.

B Meanwhile in the past 2 days arch has been running some rebuilds, for no apparent logical reason, different maintainers and different sources. The only change is renaming the file name LICENSE in the source to a file called license-from-upstream same content, same checksums. I fell for the first and renamed it, but the rest have been left as LICENSE and just added 1 to the release number to match them. Absolute waste of computing capacity and electricity.

Or try Catfish. In the Linux Mint App repository. It finds files more reliably than the Cinnamenu file search. Recoll is probably better for deep dive file searching.

Didn't assume that at all and I appreciate the suggestions. Never heard of Catfish. Can't help but chuckle though since that's an odd name for a software that searches considering a catfish is someone pretending to be someone else. LOL.

I wanted to put a rack for those dishwasher trays into a regular cupboard, so that we could have basically a real dishwasher for dirty stuff, and a cupboard for clean stuff so that we never have to empty it.

My husband Veto'd it, because "that's the epitome of laziness". Which I think is exactly the point, but whatever. It's his job to empty the dishwasher now, which solves the problem too.

That would be so convenient! Sanitizing pots and bottles in boiling water is a pain. THEY FLOAT. Plus the water is so hard here that after a long bath of boiling water you can barely see through the glass, they are clean but look so dirty 😡

No space for a dishwasher though 😢

WhatsApp is officially getting ads


WhatsApp is rolling out ads. In an update on Monday, Meta announced that it will now show ads from businesses through its Stories-like status feature.

Meta says it will tailor the ads to your interests by using “limited” information, including your country or city, language, the channels you follow, and how you interact with ads on the platform. You can also change your ad preferences from Meta’s Accounts Center.

This isn’t the only change Meta is making to WhatsApp. The company will also start showing promoted channels when you click on the Explore button to find new ones to follow. It’s also rolling out the ability to subscribe to channels to “receive exclusive updates” as well.

yeah, I can see now that this specific iteration of the meme is based on subjective ("pop-culture") opinions, not on hard evidence.

Also, I just noticed the "Chosen People (TM)" thing, so obviously that explains all the Jewish people at the far-right end.

Just as an aside, one of the interesting things about Trotsky was that he basically was a Nietzschean but he couldn't openly say so (Nietzsche was an arch-conservative) so he re-worded Nietzschean terms ("Ubermensch" became "Socialist Superman").

Proba-3’s first artificial solar eclipse

Solar corona viewed by Proba-3’s ASPIICS

Today, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the solar corona. The mission’s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first ‘artificial total solar eclipse’ in orbit. The resulting coronal images demonstrate the potential of formation flying technologies, while delivering invaluable scientific data that will improve our understanding of the Sun and its enigmatic atmosphere.

Xi is visiting Kazakhstan for talks with Central Asian leaders, aiming to strengthen China's economic influence and safeguard its economy against potential conflict with the US. China has become Kazakhstan's top trade partner, and Xi is expected to discuss trade along with economic cooperation during his visit, including potential business deals such as an aluminum smelter project.

🏳️‍⚧️🏴 JOIN THE FEMINIST ANTI-FASCIST COUNTER DEMO AGAINST TOMMY ROBINSON AND THE FAR RIGHT 🏴🏳️‍⚧️

On the 28th of June, racist and zionist agitators including Tommy Robinson and the 'Democratic Football Lads Alliance' (DFLA) want to march from Russell Square to Downing Street against "grooming gangs".

The far-right is attempting to weaponise survivors' pain to incite racist pogroms when sexual violence is caused by patriarchy, not immigration. Fascists don't care about the safety of women and girls, they're out for their own gain.

We won't let this happen. Join us in taking a stand.
No rape! No racism!
No silence to violence!
We keep us safe

All genders welcome
28.06.25 - 11.30am
Central London location TBA

My entire life, I've been able to remember cartoon shows down to the smallest detail... Actual life has been a different story. I've been daydreaming about an augmented reality program that turns the world into The Simpsons to help filter the extra stuff out... Kind of like how high school biology text books had drawing of human organs instead of pictures. 🤔

Respect. You're probably better at not being a dick than me. I have major beef with people showing support for trumpistas. There are a lot of them; asking me to empathize with people who literally want to make me and mine not exist. I can do the empathy thing very well but know when to cut it off, and people who support my genocide don't deserve shit. Dox them all.

@AyPapi That's a manul (aka Pallas' Cat, Otocolobus manul), a small wildcat from Asia. There are at least two subspecies, one living in the mountains and one in the steppe. Usually you don't see them in the wild because they're very shy and also good at pretending to be small rocks, and they live in places where there aren't many humans around.
