US importers are increasingly being asked by foreign counterparties to settle transactions in currencies other than the US dollar. The volatility of the US dollar, which has declined by 8% this year against a basket of other currencies, is driving this trend.

Foreign vendors are seeking to limit their exposure to further swings in the greenback by denominating contracts in local currencies or other alternatives.

Android without Google: the /e/ Project blew me away!

I've been trying to degoogle my life as much as possible lately, but there are 2 main holdouts: youtube, and Android. While I still haven't found a competent enough youtube alternative, apart maybe from LBRY, I might just have found the Android replacement I was looking for! Let's take a look at the /e/ operating system !

The Linux Experiment merch: get your goodies there! teespring.com/en-GB/stores/the…

What is /e/

"e" is a nonprofit project, backed by the /e/ foundation. Its goal is to provide a compeltely de-googled version of Android. This is in the strictest sense, as anything that might call to Google has been plucked out of the operating system: the google services, app store, default applications, even the time server and DNS have been changed.

The /e/ operating system is the result: it can be installed on a lot of Android smartphones, from a fairly wide selection of manufacturers, or you can order a refurbished smartphone from the /e/ website More recently, /e/ has become available on the Fairphone 3 as well, which you can buy preinstalled with /e/ from their online store.

Gael also told me that the PinePhone might be a target at some point, and they already had a port for the PineBook.

/e/ account

As you won't be using any Google services, the /e/ project feels that you also need a few services for day to day use, that's why they provide you with a free /e/ account. This is basically your own user account on the /e/ project's Nextcloud, with an email address that ends in e.email, as well as contacts, a calendar, some file storage, photos, and tasks.

In term of features, the /e/ team is also working on End to End encryption, which is proving tricky to implement, as well as the ability to self host the /e/ online services if you want to have as much storage space as you'd like and control your data 100%.

They also have an SMS to cloud feature that allows you to keep your messages when you change phones, and are working on the ability to let users log their geolocation in the cloud if they want to, to be able to find their device if it gets lost or stolen.

The /e/ OS experience

The /e/ OS is very inspired by iOS in terms of look and feel, out of the box. You get a default grid of icons, some widgets when you swipe left, no standard Android app drawer, and a global search if you swipe from the top.

The OS ships with default apps for everything you might need out of the box, and all of these apps are open source, just like the OS itself.

Most of these are forks of other open source applications, for example, the web browser is a de-googled fork of Chromium, the mail client is a fork of K-9, the camera is a fork of OpenCamera...

Some apps are the default Android applications, like the contact, clock, calculator, keyboard, or gallery, and some are just preinstalled apps available anywhere alse, like MagicEarth for maps, PDFViewer Plus for PDFs, or OpenTasks for the todo list.

Using these applications, you also won't help but notice the Android roots behind them: older tab bars, three dot menus and pop-ups abound, and look like the stuff you'd have been using on an Android Kit Kat smartphone. This doesn't mean they're bad, but it does look a bit dated compared to the smooth interfaces of today. Some might prefer this older style, but I know I don't.

But why would you prefer /e/ over another Android custom ROM ? Well, as Gael Duval puts it, they are not targeting tech savvy users, or geeks. They want to offer a simple option that even beginners can get to grips with, without jumping through too many hoops and sacrificing convenience.

/e/ offers integrated services out of the box so you don't have to look for them intially, they put a lot of effort in the launcher user experience, and they are 100% Google Free. They are probably the only one to address the low level stuff as well, like the connectivity checks, or the NTP server, while most other custom ROMs still send information to Google.

Installing apps

/e/ doesn't try to reinvent the wheel here: they provide their own app store, that is basically a mirror of the applications available on the play store. Not all of them will be as up to date as the ones available on Googl's markeplace, and some of them won't be available, but the selection is pretty large here.

You also get some nice touches that you won't find on competing stores, like a privacy score. This is determined by scanning the apks and identifying the permissions they require, as well as the trackers they include, so you know, when you install an app on the /e/ store, what it will collect, and if you can reliably use it or not.

Software Ecosystems are bad, but Linux needs one

DOwnload Safing's Portmaster here: safing.io/portmaster/
Every company is talking about building their ecosystem. Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, even Amazon, they all want to have the full experience, with hardware, software, services, all designed to lock the users in and keep them coming for more products, more data, all at the price of convenience. I don't like these walled gardens, but I still think we need a full open source ecosystem where the desktop works well with mobile, smartwatches, iot devices, and services. Let's see how that could work.

As of today, there is no syncing between your Linux desktop, and a potential Linux phone. No interaction between your pinetime and your desktop or phone either. We have no "open source service suite" that a user can just start using on every device. And that's what I mean by ecosystem: a one stop shop, with a single account, that lets you access cloud storage, photo syncing, browser bookmarks and passwords, an email account and calendar, an office suite, text message syncing, basically an open source icloud or Microsoft account.

Ok, now, I think ecosystems are terrible. That's pretty paradoxical, I know, but that's because current ecosystems, that encompass hardware, software and services, are all proprietary, and designed as walled gardens, to lock you in and prevent you from switching.

Once you've bought a Mac, an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and iPad, and AirPods, the cost of switching to anything else becomes way too high. You've bought your apps, you're using Apple services, your hardware works beautifully together. If you just replace one piece of all of that, it all breaks down and the simplicity and ease of use is gone.

Because, yes, these ecosystems bring a lot to the table: everything tends to sync together super easily, you get your files, photos, settings, applications on every device, seamlessly. Stuff just connects together in the most simple way. That's appealing. But the cost is your freedom to decide that a superior product might be worth your money. Instead, you'll buy the product from the company you're beholden to, because anything else will just not work as well. It's a trap, but I think an open source ecosystem would solve that issue.

An open source Linux ecosystem would solve that


Open source, is, by definition, open. This means that building a walled garden with purely open source software is impossible, anyone could decide to fork and make sure that their device worked with the existing ecosystem.

In terms of hardware, we already have plenty of options: the Pine64 has the mobile devices, with the PineTAb, PinePhone, and PineTime. Any laptop or desktop can basically run Linux, so hardware doesn't matter that much for us. It's already pretty open, and we can switch to another manufacturer without any lock in.

In terms of software, the very philosophy of free software would allow anyone to plug in, or extract their own data from the ecosystem, to reuse it somewhere else. There would be no lockdown, no walled garden, only the simplicity, and seamless connectivity would remain.

How would that work


We already have a lot of the building blocks available to us. Nextcloud, for example, is a fantastic starting point. It does cloud storage, photo syncing, it offers a calendar and email application, it integrates with an open source office suite easily, and can be extended with apps. That would do for a backend and web interface.

What's missing is an open source email service, not too tricky to deploy, some bookmark and password storage, which Firefox already does with Lockwise and the Firefox account, so there's another building block.

The other missing piece is how to integrate that with our various distros, and that's the trickier part. For that idea to be successful, every desktop environment would have to work to make sure that just entering your credentials would allow you to use your cloud storage as a network drive, syncing your pictures and videos inside the right folder, automatically configure your email account and calendat with their default applications, open access to the integrated office suite, and sync the bookmarks and passwords with whatever browser they ship by default.

I can imagine a provider in the Online Accounts, like in GNOME or elementary OS, that just lets you set all of that up by just entering an email, and a password, obviously with 2 step verification.

Hundreds of Zionists Flee the Occupation by Boat


Hundreds of Zionist are fleeing the occupied territories daily by yacht to Cyprus following the closure of Zionist airspace due to the escalating war with Iran, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.

The paper described the Herzliya marina as taking on “the atmosphere of a makeshift terminal,” with at least a hundred people preparing to set sail on one particular morning.

The paper cited Facebook groups “dedicated to sea-based exits” proving that “hundreds of people” are attempting to leave the country this way.

Since there is a demand, there are those ready to supply “for a price,” the paper said, with some passengers saying they paid 2,500 shekels ($713) each for the journey, which can take up to 25 hours.

“Someone asked me for 6,000,” one passenger told Haaretz, adding, “It’s all supply and demand.”

Another told the paper that prices “also depend on the type of yacht, the amenities it offers and how fast it sails.”

The passenger explained that some yachts have private cabins, “and there are those that run on diesel and can get to Cyprus in just eight hours.”

Some vessels are also operating illegally, one commercial captain told the paper as “some private owners are charging passengers without having proper insurance for transporting people.”

The paper said only a few were willing “to speak openly” to reporters.

One mother, leaving with her partner and four-year-old child, admitted: “We’re tired of the missiles,” the report said.

Ben-Gurion International Airport was closed on Friday night, leaving “an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 ‘Israelis’ stranded abroad as well.”

The report said land crossings with Jordan and Egypt remain open, however, their hours are limited and a high demand “means long waits at the border with no certainty of crossing.”

The escalation between the Zionist entity and Iran began at dawn on Friday when the occupation, with clear support from the United States, launched ‘Operation Rising Lion’, a large-scale aerial assault on Iranian nuclear facilities, missile bases, and key personnel.

That evening, Iran responded with ‘True Promise 3’, launching dozens of ballistic missiles and drones at the Zionist occupied cities, killing leading to hundreds of casualties.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned on Sunday that if the Zionist attacks continue, Iran’s response would become “more decisive and severe.” He stated that the Iranian military had so far responded “forcefully and appropriately.”

[Review] Wurkkos TS10 SG – mini thrower with SFT-25R

The full review is available here


English review at BudgetLightForum
German review on my website

With this little review I wish you a merry Christmas! Have fun, but don’t overdo it with the lights. The tree should not start to burn at any time! 😉

Summary


When the Wurkkos TS10 was released in mid-2022, only few might have imagined what a great success this flashlight would become. Compact, playful, great light and also affordable. Over time, different colors and materials such as titanium, brass and copper were added.

The Wurkkos TS10 SG is a successful update of the classic TS10. With the new optics and the Luminus SFT-25R, the throw has been significantly increased. Otherwise everything has remained the same. There’s a reason the TS10 has enjoyed great popularity for years.

If anyone cares, this light was on sale for $10 last week (not any more) and I got one along with an H25L. The TS10 SG is great, smaller than I expected and a terrific value at $10. I will EDC it for a while. For some reason I thought it came with a USB-rechargeable 14500 but it's the TS10 Max that comes with a USB cell. It's ok though. I will probably get a D3AA sooner or later but this will do me for now.

I also got an HD10 a while back and I like that a lot too. Unfortunately it's being discontinued, maybe in favor of the non-Anduril HD12. So we'll again be in a situation of having no available Anduril headlamps with USB charging. Meh.

The regime change maniacs are back - UnHerd


#geopolitics #imperialism #chaos #war

For be in no doubt, without boots on the ground, regime collapse — Israel’s now-stated; now-disavowed war aim — will generate a massive crisis destabilising the Middle East and regions far beyond it. The crisis will have dimensions that will be ferociously entangled in ways that we can only vaguely discern right now.

As soon as I go to record a new record it automatically records the current date & time and presents me with a list of my meds and I just check the one's I've took (or taking) and click save when done.

Des avions-cargos militaires russes et chinois transportent du «matériel de soutien» vers l’ #Iran : des systèmes d’armement, des défenses aériennes, des missiles, etc.

Pour la première fois dans l’histoire, un avion-cargo militaire chinois a atterri en Iran, vraisemblablement pour décharger du «matériel de soutien» chinois. Un avion-cargo Airbus A330-243F (photo d’archive ci-dessus) a décollé de l’aéroport international de Guangzhou Baiyun et a été repéré volant vers le sud-ouest au-dessus de l’est du Turkménistan. Il a éteint son transpondeur avant d’atteindre l’espace aérien iranien.
Les Russes et les Chinois voient clairement qu’Israël est utilisé comme un proxy par les #États-Unis pour nuire à l’Iran. On pense que cela sert plusieurs objectifs : cela permet de s’occuper d’un puissant voisin du Moyen-Orient dont #Israël se méfie depuis 40 ans. Cela perturbe également le soutien militaire iranien à la Russie dans le conflit actuel en Ukraine, en détruisant les chaînes d’approvisionnement militaires iraniennes.
La #Chine a mis en garde vendredi contre les «graves conséquences» que pourraient avoir les attaques israéliennes contre l’Iran, s’opposant à toute violation de la souveraineté, de la sécurité et de l’intégrité territoriale du pays.

Les frappes de missiles iraniennes contre Israël montrent que les forces de Téhéran sont capables de se regrouper même après que Israël a tué plusieurs commandants militaires lors de sa première attaque.
«Ils (les Israéliens) ont sous-estimé la capacité de l’Iran à se regrouper après avoir très efficacement ciblé les hauts dirigeants de l’armée iranienne et réussi à en tuer plusieurs», a déclaré Trita Parsi, vice-président du Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
Parsi a ajouté qu’Israël pensait avoir «perturbé le commandement et le contrôle iraniens», mais que cette idée s’était avérée fausse, car l’Iran «s’était rapidement restructuré».
Ce que nous constatons actuellement, c’est que «les missiles iraniens parviennent à pénétrer toutes les couches du système de défense aérienne israélien», a déclaré Parsi.
Parsi s’exprimait sur CNN alors que de nouvelles vagues de missiles iraniens s’abattaient sur Israël aux premières heures de lundi matin et frappaient plusieurs endroits.
L’Iran a tiré entre 100 et 150 missiles par jour. Le premier jour, 40 missiles ont été interceptés, le deuxième jour, 50, et le troisième jour, 75.
Le taux de destruction des forces de défense israéliennes DIMINUE RAPIDEMENT. Si les Iraniens maintiennent ce rythme, il n’y aura PLUS AUCUN AÉROPORT UTILISABLE en Israël la semaine prochaine. C’est dans sept jours !
Bibi est à la télévision aux États-Unis 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7, car deux bases aériennes des forces de défense israéliennes ont été durement touchées. La télévision est contrôlée, tout comme Internet. Le point de vue israélien bénéficie donc TOUJOURS d’un traitement préférentiel. Mais leur point de vue n’est pas exact en ce qui concerne les missiles iraniens qui passent.
Un événement imprévu s’est déjà produit : le Pakistan a effectué un ravitaillement terrestre en Iran pour fournir des équipements anti-aériens ! Le Pakistan a envoyé 720 missiles à l’Iran.
Les Chinois et les Russes ont tous deux livré de nouveaux systèmes anti-aériens (avancés) destinés à défendre Téhéran, qui devraient être opérationnels d’ici le matin du 17 !
La Chine et la Russie veulent tester leurs systèmes au combat contre le F-35. Les forces de défense israéliennes ont déjà perdu des avions et des pilotes !
Remarques de Hal Turner
Depuis lundi 16 juin, il semble que les forces de défense israéliennes soient dans une situation très délicate, et Netanyahou en est la cause. Ses propos absurdes de ce matin, selon lesquels le Pakistan serait la prochaine cible, ont immédiatement mis les Pakistanais dans une position hostile.
Israël a clairement averti le Pakistan de cesser de fournir des armes à l’Iran, «sinon». Les Pakistanais ont immédiatement triplé leur aide à l’Iran.
La situation dégénère très rapidement d’une manière que peu de gens auraient cru possible. La troisième guerre mondiale est bel et bien là. Tout cela parce qu’Israël a lancé une attaque surprise contre l’Iran.
La situation est bien plus grave que ce que l’on veut bien le dire, et des personnes bien informées parlent discrètement de la façon dont la situation est devenue beaucoup plus sombre et dangereuse.
Il existe des vidéos de la nuit dernière où des batteries Iron Dome et Arrow se sont entre-tuées, frappant d’autres sites Iron Dome et Arrow.
Et puis les putains de ravitailleurs ont décollé des États-Unis et ont continué à décoller, et ce ne sont que ceux qui émettaient des signaux pour que le système de suivi ADS-B puisse les voir.
De plus, quiconque vous dit qu’Israël ne censure pas les vidéos montrant les dégâts et les frappes, et des choses encore plus graves, est soit stupide, soit menteur.
Est-ce que je dis qu’Iran est en train de gagner ? Certainement pas.
Franchement, je pense que personne ne sait qui est en train de gagner ou ce qui se passe actuellement, la situation a pris une tournure incontrôlable.

Firefox is dead to me • The Register

No notes. All good points. I'm still not going to a Chrome based browser. Not yet.
I hear Opera is nice if that day ever comes.

Main points:

  • Shitty removal of promise to never sell your data from the FAQ.
  • Hard pivot to AI that nobody wants.
  • Killing programs people actually like and use.
  • Losing on performance (again).
  • Mass layoffs.

As is pointed out in the article, most of the crap comes directly from Mozilla and management, not the people doing development.
It could be righted with a massive leadership change that isn't going to happen.

I've switched to IronFox on my phone and LibreWolf on my laptops. I'll keep doing that as long as it's feasible.

I have to use Edge and Firefox at work because they are "approved" (along with Chrome) and centrally managed.

Edit: fixed a typo.

I am so pissed. Went to login to my credit union today after a few months (normally I use the mobile app) and found I couldn't login.

When I contacted member services they told me that Firefox was no longer supported that it was "being sunsetted" and discontinued.

I'm like WHAT THE FUCK!

Told me my only option was Chrome.

Or the mobile app.

Yeah.

This isn't going to end well.

For the first time ever, Israel is asking America to fight alongside it – or for it

Breaking the longest taboo, Israel is requesting not defensive support but direct military involvement: U.S. pilots and planes, to bomb Iran's uranium enrichment facility in Fordow. It is an unprecedented peak in Israel's reliance on the U.S.

The cops in LA are more out of control than normal in the footage of these protests.

They are shooting into crowds who are standing in a park with signs during the day well before curfew. Throwing tear gas. And also not saying anything? There are no instructions to leave or anything being given as they try to make the protest end.

It's not about keeping the streets clear for cars. They are acting like having a protest is illegal.

This is LAPD too. What is they mayor doing?

Is it legal to gather in the park and shout slogans and hold some signs to petition the government for redress of grievances or nah?

I think it can be easy to get jaded and assume that when people get injured by police in protests they must have "done something" eg not gone on the sidewalk when asked by the police* or whatever but this isn't true. We don't really live in a country where protest is defacto legal anymore and this has been the case more and more over time.

Do you like that?

Iran Has Nukes


Let me get this straight. #Atomic/#Nuclear #weaponry has supposedly been around since 1945. It’s very old, very basic technology that has been acquired by countries as underdeveloped as #India, #Pakistan, #SouthAfrica, and #Israel.

#Hypersonic #missiles are so technologically advanced and difficult to manufacture that only four countries in the world have deployed them: #China, #Russia, #NorthKorea, and #Iran. The #USA hasn’t successfully developed one yet, neither have #Japan, #France, or the #UK.

And yet, we’re supposed to believe that Iran doesn’t already possess nuclear warheads to install on those hypersonic delivery systems?

I don’t buy it. If nuclear weaponry actually exists – and there is very good reason to #doubt that it does – then Iran has it. If Iran doesn’t have it, then no one does because it doesn’t actually exist. The fact that nuclear weapons have been held over humanity’s collective heads for generations and used to justify globalist organizations for decades is sufficient reason for them to have been among the foremost #myths perpetrated by #ClownWorld.

THIS IS HOW THIS SHIT ENDS - WHEN WOMEN STAND UP AND SAY NO TO IT!

"Furious woman confronts ‘transgender’ man wearing a bikini after he tried to go in a girls bathroom.

“You’re not a woman. Get out. If you want to practice your transition you don’t do it at a young kids softball field.”
