So much more becomes politically possible when you don't start from the premise that obviously you're so much better than those filthy peasants. Instead you can engage in intersectional solidarity not only across space and culture but also forward and backwards in time. As Walter Benjamin said: if the enemy wins not even the dead will be safe. We have tasted victory before and we will taste it again.

The time has come to reveal the "first light" images taken by the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, located in Cerro Pachón, Chile.

The images will be presented in a press conference today at 11:00 a.m. EDT (15:00 UTC), live-stream at

Images are transferred from the Rubin Observatory using "direct writes via the S3 API to an object store" at the US Data Facility at SLAC in CA and distributed to the UK and France sites.

Given the high bandwidth-delay product of the links between sites (~8 Gbps per image transfer * ~165 ms round trip time RTT = ~165 MB), transfers are done using specialized connection pooling/keep-alive code and TCP tuning (e.g., initial and max cwnd size, congestion control, ..).

Seven of them are near-Earth asteroids, which fortunately pose no danger to Earth.

"Annually, about 20,000 asteroids are discovered in total by all other ground and space-based observatories. Rubin Observatory alone will discover millions of new asteroids within the first two years of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time."

The key lesson from Iran? Kim Jong Un was right about everything.


#geopolitics #imperialism #war

USA and Israel, the ultimate rogue states.

It’s hard to overstate or even begin to list all the genuinely awful precedents set by Israel and the U.S.’s behavior vis à vis Iran in the latest war. But if we had to summarize it in one expression it’d be “maximum paranoia and secrecy is the only rational security strategy.”

Iran was paradoxically in many ways too transparent, reasonable and cooperative - accepting international monitoring that provided targeting intelligence, engaging in diplomatic processes that turned out to be elaborate traps and honoring agreements that were unilaterally abandoned.

In short, the key lesson for any reasonable third-party state is, paradoxically, be like North Korea.

The €2 Billion Microsoft Office Problem Just Got Worse: We’re Not Just Wasting Money, We’re Creating Security Disasters | by Markus Sandelin | Jun, 2025 | Medium


#GAFAM #security

Someone needs to coordinate a military operation. Instead of using purpose-built operational planning systems, they create an Excel spreadsheet with unit locations, timing, and personnel assignments. They email this spreadsheet to 15 different national representatives for “coordination.” Each person makes changes, saves a new version, and emails it back.

Within 48 hours, there are 23 different versions of this file floating around on various government email servers, shared drives, and personal devices. Nobody knows which version is current. Half the recipients forward it to subordinates who “need to see this.” Some clever staff officer converts it to PowerPoint for a briefing.

Final result: Operational security details scattered across hundreds of endpoints with zero audit trail, no access controls beyond “has this person’s email address,” and absolutely no way to revoke access once the information is distributed.

This isn’t hypothetical. This is how NATO’s enterprise side operates when people need to actually get work done.

I disagree with ‘tests of purity’ taken to the extreme. Of course a university will collaborate with a range of industries, usually with the aim of improving the way things are done. Universities support change in the world, sometimes incrementally, sometimes dramatically.

When I pay you to legitimise me and to train my future workforce, we’re not collaborating, I’m employing you.

My dad’s a professor and I’ve been in academic environments my whole life and it’s pretty clear, at least from my experience, who’s holding the leash and who’s wearing the collar in the relationship between industry and academia.

(Which is sad because I still naively wish an academia removed from industry servitude existed as I’d love to be a part of it.)

* this is not to say folks don’t exist within this system that work against the grain of industry influence – often at odds with the goals of the institutions that work for. As a friend who heads up a department in Vienna once told me, “I’m the only one I know who said no to Google’s €100,000” (to whitewash their image on privacy)

The image depicts a coastal scene shrouded in a thick layer of smoke, likely from a wildfire. In the foreground, a calm body of water, possibly a lake or sea, is visible, with a sandy beach and some beach chairs and umbrellas lined up along the shore. The beach is bordered by trees and a few buildings, suggesting a developed area. The middle ground features a line of trees and buildings, partially obscured by the smoke. In the background, a mountain range is visible, with smoke billowing from the top, indicating the source of the fire. The sky is overcast, with a gradient of colors from light to dark, suggesting either dawn or dusk. The overall atmosphere is hazy and muted, with the smoke dominating the scene and reducing visibility.

Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?

Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?

Dear all

I have deleted Onedrive and disabled File system access in Privacy.

  1. I would like to know, which other ways that my personal files could be uploaded in a non-malicious non-hacker way?
  2. Just by using Windows, Microsoft could upload all my personal files to themselves if they would?
  3. Does every installed App / software have full access to my whole drive? How can I found out, how much access it has?

Thank you for your interest and reply

Best regards

@Rikudou_Sage@lemmy.world

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).

“Too Late” Jerome Powell, of the Fed, will be in Congress today in order to explain, among other things, why he is refusing to lower the Rate. Europe has had 10 cuts, we have had ZERO. No inflation, great economy - We should be at least two to three points lower. Would save the USA 800 Billion Dollars Per Year, plus. What a difference this would make. If things later change to the negative, increase the Rate. I hope Congress really works this very dumb, hardheaded person, over. We will be paying for his incompetence for many years to come. THE BOARD SHOULD ACTIVATE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
