@nanook @ernestoDuracelli @lauren I cannot talk for the op, but I'm not buying a tablet because they are way too big for me.

Unfortunately my 7" tablet has a bad battery and is... ancient (for such a device, and slow, and actually an Intel device). The thing is that size is an issue. Phones are getting too big to put in my pockets, and tablets are too big. Maybe I'll convert an e-reader (or actually get a cheap phablet). Though a tablet would just be a "nice to have" now.

okay, still kind of stuck on the iran israel war, bc fog of war and censorship and media bias makes it hard to fill in some of the blanks...

the palestine chronicle published this article with a photo that is allegedly a screen grab from a photo of the iranian attack on al-udeid air base in qatar.

can anyone verify if this is legit? because that "one missile" landing must have been a hell of a weapon to cause a scene like that.

We love Sade... and Smooth Operator is such an iconic song. Her voice is so effortless and silky and the groove is great. We worked really hard on this song to get it right. We hope you enjoy it!

(We wanted to say that the audio in our live performances is overwhelmingly live and, on many videos, is 100% live. To some select songs, we may add layers of sound, such as harmonies or string parts. But the original live sound as the foundation for our videos, and then we might decide to add/replace some parts, if we feel it would help to bring the song even closer to the original that we’re honoring - but always in service of the art! With love, The Graystones)

Al Green introduces article of impeachment against Trump

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) filed an article of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday, accusing the president of failing to notify or seek authorization from Congress before the U.S. launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.

The resolution alleges “abuse of presidential powers by disregarding the separation of powers—devolving American democracy into authoritarianism by unconstitutionally usurping Congress’s power to declare war.”

“President Trump’s unilateral, unprovoked use of force without congressional authorization or notice constitutes an abuse of power when there was no imminent threat to the United States, which facilitates the devolution of American democracy into authoritarianism,” Green’s resolution reads.

Congress has the sole power to “declare war” under the Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution. Presidents of both parties have struck adversaries without approval from the legislature.

Yeah, sorry, that came a bit harsh. I'm just a bit salty, because i dislike monospace and white-on-black for reading. But i'm working on something, that lets the user choose the reading settings. In the meantime, i just create a usercss (Stylus) for pages i see often.

But that's another reason i'm salty; please don't do * {…} CSS hacks. Just set the rule on body, because children inherit, if not set otherwise. And * is the worst for performance, use the rightmost selector instead.

The Nine Principles of Propaganda

1. LIE BIG Big lies work better than small because the masses won't believe that anyone would lie "about that."

2. FOCUS Don't make it complicated, ignore history, keep it simple for simple minds.

3. REPEAT People cannot tell the difference between facts and familiarity. If they hear the same words repeated enough, they become true in their minds.

4. BLAME Never credit the other side, always blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize.

5. PROVOKE Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powerful than reason, logic, or facts.

6. CRISIS Issues must be life or death, good vs evil, love vs hate, us vs them. Urgency defeats objection.

7. EMOTION A person might question facts, but they will never question their own feelings. Go emotional.

8. PANDER Ignore reasonable arguments, demonize all who disagree as having bad intentions.

9. NO LIMITS Morality is for losers. The victor's morality will not be questioned. No limits.

EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TOLD IS A LIE!

Do not consent! Do not comply!
AND MOST OF ALL,...HAVE NO FEAR!
THEIR STRENGTH IS AN ILLUSION!

NATO is currently facing four crises at once: a security crisis due to the conflict in Ukraine, a preparedness crisis due to the decline of European armies, a strategic priority crisis due to the US pivot to Asia, and a crisis of confidence, exacerbated by Trump's actions.

QUE RETENIR DES 12 JOURS DE CONFRONTATION ENTRE L’IRAN ET ISRAËL ?
Infos Brutes- 24/06/25

La confrontation inédite entre l’Iran et Israël aura duré près de deux semaines, marquant une rupture majeure dans la dynamique régionale. Le cessez-le-feu, initié par les États-Unis, témoigne de la volonté israélienne d’éviter une désavantageuse guerre d'usure. Cette initiative reflète en réalité un signal d'essoufflement d’Israël. Mais que nous enseignent réellement ces douze jours d’échanges de frappes ?

  1. Sur le plan politique interne iranien

L’attaque israélienne, justifiée par le prétexte nucléaire, n’a pas affaibli la République islamique. Au contraire, elle a consolidé la cohésion nationale. Face à l’agression, le peuple iranien a resserré les rangs autour du régime, démontrant que la capacité de résistance d’une Nation repose avant tout sur l’unité de son peuple.

  1. Sur le plan technologique – Iran

L’Iran a pu tester grandeur nature ses missiles balistiques à longue portée. Au-delà de la démonstration de puissance, c’est une opportunité d’ajustement technique. L’expérience de terrain servira à perfectionner ces armes, à les rendre plus précises et potentiellement plus dissuasives à l’avenir.

  1. Sur le plan technologique – Israël

La supériorité technologique israélienne, longtemps considérée comme un acquis, a été sérieusement mise à rude épreuve. Malgré la présence du Dôme de Fer, des systèmes avancés de défense antimissile et la puissance de son aviation, les missiles iraniens ont percé les « rideaux de protection » et atteint des cibles stratégiques, ébranlant la confiance dans ces boucliers.

  1. Sur le plan tactique – #Israël

Des décennies d’assassinats ciblés de scientifiques iraniens n’auront pas empêché l’Iran de maîtriser la technologie nucléaire. Les bombardements israéliens, en partie aveugles, n’ont pas détruit les capacités et le savoir-faire nucléaires de l’Iran. La centrale nucléaire de Bushehr n'a pas été touchée et l'incertitude demeure sur l'efficacité des frappes sur les infrastructures souterraines. Pire encore, le stock d'uranium hautement enrichi dissimulé ne finira pas de hanter Tel-Aviv.

  1. Sur le plan #géopolitique

L’image d’invincibilité d’Israël en sort affaiblie. Pour la première fois, un État souverain a revendiqué et exécuté des frappes en profondeur sur le territoire israélien avec un lourd bilan humain et des dégâts considérables. Cette brèche stratégique aura un impact durable sur la perception de la superpuissance militaire d'Israël.

  1. Sur le plan tactique – Iran

L’Iran s’attellera désormais à renforcer considérablement ses systèmes de défense aérienne. L’investissement dans des technologies hypersoniques et furtives deviendra une priorité, tout comme la dissimulation accrue des infrastructures militaires stratégiques pour renforcer sa dissuasion et sa capacité de projection.

  1. Sur le plan de la retenue iranienne

Malgré sa capacité à infliger des dégâts considérables, l’Iran a fait preuve de retenue stratégique. Il aurait pu viser la centrale nucléaire de Dimona ou les installations de dessalement, provoquant une catastrophe humanitaire et écologique. Ce choix délibéré de ne pas franchir certaines lignes rouges montre une volonté de ne pas provoquer une guerre totale.

  1. Sur la coopération avec la #Russie et la #Chine

Bien que la Russie et la Chine aient ouvertement condamné les frappes israéliennes, leur soutien concret se veut plus discret. La présence de scientifiques russes sur certains sites iraniens suggère une collaboration étroite dans le nucléaire et le militaire. Les missiles iraniens devenus subitement performants prouvent l'efficacité de la coopération militaire et technologique avec la Russie, la Chine, la Corée du Nord et le Pakistan.

  1. Sur le dossier #nucléaire

La situation ramène paradoxalement le dossier nucléaire iranien à son point de départ: la voie diplomatique. L’Iran se retrouve en position de force pour relancer les négociations avec ses conditions ou, au contraire, accélérer discrètement sa transition vers le nucléaire militaire, s'il est considéré par Téhéran comme seule garantie de sécurité face à des menaces existentielles.

  1. Sur le plan militaire israélien

Habitué à affronter des groupes non étatiques comme le Hezbollah ou le Hamas, Israël découvre les limites de sa stratégie face à un État organisé, disposant de moyens balistiques conséquents. L’option militaire perd de son attractivité stratégique, et la confiance dans les systèmes d’alerte précoce et de défense est sérieusement entamée.

  1. Sur le plan des pertes humaines et matérielles

Malgré une communication strictement contrôlée par Tel-Aviv, de nombreux observateurs remettent en question le bilan humain en raison de l’ampleur des dégâts. L'étendue des destructions à Haïfa, Tel-Aviv ou Beersheba , associée aux indemnisations civiles et au coût des interceptions, pèsera lourdement sur l'économie israélienne, même avec le soutien américain.

  1. Sur le plan de la politique intérieure israélienne

#Netanyahou a momentanément renforcé sa position en détournant l’attention de ses ennuis judiciaires et à se maintenir au pouvoir. Mais l’opinion publique, d’abord favorable à l’attaque, pourrait basculer face aux limites révélées par la riposte iranienne. La paix avec les voisins s'imposera désormais comme une option crédible.

  1. Sur le rapport de force régional

Cette confrontation aura des effets durables sur l’équilibre régional. Les États arabes observeront avec attention la capacité d’un État comme l’Iran à tenir tête militairement à Israël. Cela pourrait redessiner les alliances, refroidir certaines normalisations diplomatiques, et réactiver des dynamiques de dissuasion nucléaire au #Moyen-Orient.

  1. Sur le plan du droit international

L’agression israélienne contre l’ #Iran, sans justification reconnue par le droit international, viole la Charte des Nations unies. Pourtant, les États occidentaux n’ont ni condamné cette action ni rappelé les principes de souveraineté. En invoquant une « guerre préventive » — non reconnue juridiquement — pour justifier l’attaque, ils valident un double standard. Or selon leur propre définition, les États qui ne respectent pas le droit international sont qualifiés d'«États voyous».

It can be a competidor in companies where is teamwork needed, there it has some advantages over Vivaldi, but that is.
