🗨️ My comment on the #eu council:

Real humans and defenders of #humanrights hope, these so called "next steps" will be implemented asap to save lives in #gaza.

It took the #eu more than a decade to recognize #crimesagainsthumanity committed by Israel. It took them 20 months to react on the #UN / #icj findings, Human Rights NGO's reports, just to be concerned how to use language in a way this killer regime would understand, that's not how humanity and international #law works, the EU is guilty.

Como será la excursión de fin de curso de esta gente si se gastan 40.000€ en la orquesta para la fiesta

interesting #distrochallenge candidate idea, increasingly appealing, too often overlooked, even dismissed... #puppylinux (and/or any of mmmmmany respins thereof).

similar to slitaz, it has wows.
there be really enthralling innovations.
community seems far less riddled with the toxic, stifling, stultifying, "stupid cants".
far less bloat too.

wows like versions focusing on different package managers.
(e.g. as i was just reading about, a voidlinux xbps puppy and how easy )

there is mmmuch going for puppy.
yes it's a mite unconventional, compared to the glut of debian and redhat based linuxen. so what. conformity to convention is not a factor.
could even have a puppy with .debs or .rpm.

the anti-bloat, the innovation, the low-entry-bar friendly vibes... its a very refreshing combination of aspects.
very appealing, enticing, enthusing.

heh, and in wondering about cheating the distro-challenge again, with bedrock, i wonder about having a bedrock install [without my regular artix-devuan-gentoo-void base] with a base of slitaz, puppy, slax, (even DamnSmallLinux and tinycore?!) and other small quirky distros... []... maybe it makes even more sense... given these distros can do their own use of other package managers ~ afaik, only 1 at a time though ~ makes sense to put them in a bedrock context, where can get access to all the package managers (without jamming them all into one puppy and it stepping on its own toes tripping itself up) safely in each their own stratum. (... each their own strata. ? ... grammer fail. boik. idk if that's plural or not, there, properly.). so could even do a bedrock install that's entirely populated by puppies, but still availing me the same access to all the same package managers' commands and repositories as i have now (with artix, devuan, gentoo, and voidlinux strata).

XD ... way to have a challenge turn into the same thing already got.

buuuuuut...

there's so much more tinkering freely vibes with puppy.

similar to what i get from slackware (also oft considered for a distro challenge).

the pedagogical boon would be humungous.

... but then, so might also the burnout, breakages, and bailing [out of the challenge, back to something more reliable (less prone to invite me to tinker and break things with my jank)].

puppy remains a strong candidate for a distro-challenge.

Will asteroid 2024 YR4 hit the Moon?

Asteroid - artist's impression

Asteroid 2024 YR4 made headlines earlier this year when its probability of impacting Earth in 2032 rose as high as 3%. While an Earth impact has now been ruled out, the asteroid’s story continues.

The final glimpse of the asteroid as it faded out of view of humankind’s most powerful telescopes left it with a 4% chance of colliding with the Moon on 22 December 2032.

The likelihood of a lunar impact will now remain stable until the asteroid returns to view in mid-2028. In this FAQ, find out why we are left with this lingering uncertainty and how ESA's future NEOMIR space telescope will help us avoid similar situations in the future.

#Inspiration This is the way...

[...] Mamdani, Lander, and Hanif give people a reason to vote for something. And they give people like me hope that maybe I won’t be locked out of the formal American economy forever. If Zohran Mamdani can be arrested protesting for Gaza, face a barrage of racist Islamaphobic attacks, and still win the mayoral primary in the nation’s biggest city—with the help of his Jewish brother who got arrested defending migrants from ICE—then maybe there is room to fight in this country, still.

lithub.com/zohran-mamdani-and-…

In New York City's Democratic primary, Muslim state legislator Zohran Mamdani and Jewish comptroller Brad Lander emerged as top mayoral candidates, demonstrating the potential for criticizing #Israel without political repercussions. Their successful campaign, marked by mutual support and a focus on maturity, challenged prevailing beliefs about career risks for advocating for social causes and navigating anti-Muslim and anti-Zionist sentiment. This outcome, alongside the re-election of Muslim City Council member Shahana Hanif, signals a shift in New York politics and offers hope for those who have faced professional consequences for their activism.

FT: Trump increasingly disappointed with Putin over his demands on Ukraine en.news-front.su/2025/06/26/ft…

In a week, more that 4500 people have pledged over £150k to support Palestine Action's legal acton against the Govt.s moves to proscribe the groups rendering them as 'terrorists'.

If you are concerned this is a fundamental threat to the right to protest and so a threat to our very democracy... then you might want to join me & the 4500 supporting their crowdfunding for their prospective legal costs.

When I hear stories of people being fired from jobs for doing the right thing (Walmart employee for example who filmed ICE detaining an elderly janitor and was himself detained) I get infuriated at the lack of loyalty to employees companies show. And more so than a gofundme I hope someone offers the people in such stories better jobs with employers who stand behind their employees and reward not punish them when they do the right thing. Often the outrage leaves the people in the story behind

India’s Social Regression Under Modi’s Eleven Years May Not Be Mendable

While much has been written about the Modi regime’s economic failures and diplomatic missteps, the most insidious damage lies elsewhere – in the corrosion of India’s socio-cultural fabric.

What Is Mobile Concrete Batching Plant


Mobile concrete batching plant is a kind of portable concrete production equipment that precisely proportions and mixes water, aggregates (such as rocks, gravel, and sand), cement, and fly ash to produce tens to hundreds of cubic meters of concrete per hour. Mobile batching plants are typically divided into two types: self-propelled and trailer-mounted. During operation, the coordination of equipment. such as concrete pumps and transit trucks is essential to ensure timely delivery and placement of the mixed concrete.

Benefits of Mobile Concrete Batching Plants

1. High Flexibility
They can swiftly adjust to diverse and dynamic engineering environments, and are capable of rapid relocation and installation in confined urban settings or remote regions, thereby ensuring seamless project advancement.

2. Automation and Intelligence
The integration of various concrete production processes enhances production efficiency, lowers costs, and guarantees consistent concrete quality through precise measurement and control, leading to increasingly intelligent and automated concrete production processes.

3. Easy installation and Disassembly
Greatly shortens the preparation and closing time of the project, offering substantial advantages for projects with strict deadline requirements.

4. Outstanding Environmental Performance
By employing enclosed design, the emission of dust and noise is effectively reduced, while the optional wastewater recycling system enables resource recycling, which realizes remarkable results in reducing environmental impact.

Gem cutting groups are all crying about the string of deaths lately. Yeah, there are a ton of people 70-90 years old who are dying out of the business. What a shock.

“Oh no, the art is being lost, it’s never going to be more than a hobby!”

I feel like these guys are WHY it’s stuck as a hobby in so many countries.

These are the people who want to get together in little local clubs and gearfag over testing meetpoints at 10X and 20X instead of doing something creative and making money.

in reply to dobó istván

These same groups that BANNED Phan Thanh Trung because he had the audacity to sell his original gemstone designs for money.

The guy is one of the most innovative designers not working with concave faceting (which we still don’t have modeling software) or carving.

He tried to build an original Vietnamese gemstone brand.

Instead, he got shut out of the industry and is living on fucking buymeacoffee money and prison ed.

in reply to dobó istván

I remember running a show one time and having some young kid interested in gemcutting come up to me.

“Your work is so amazing. What’s your rank in the guild?”

“I have never entered a competition.”

“But then how do you know how good you are?”

“This is my primary income. It’s how I feed my kids.”

“But don’t you want a master certificate?”

“… Do people pay more for my stones if I have it?”

“No.”

“Then why would I waste 100 hours on a competition stone?”

“I don’t like you…”

in reply to dobó istván

This is the essence of hobbyist mentality.

And I find it rich that groups created to make a hobby out of gemcutting are crying about the death of the art when they are largely responsible for making sure the people they brought into it didn’t accidentally turn it into a career.

It wasn’t always like this.

The early guilds were more professional knowledge associations. It was the rise of competition faceting that drove everything into manchild hobby land.

in reply to dobó istván

Think about it.

A good machine is $5,000-$10,000.

Good laps are $700-$1,300 each and you need at least four of them.

Gem rough is big bucks.

And you make a show out of doing events to cultivate interest in the art, but 90% of your members are people 40-80 years old who don’t even work in the business. You aren’t showing anyone how you can make money at this except a couple unicorns.

Make these numbers make sense if you want to see more people take up cutting.

in reply to dobó istván

The only ones even trying are the lab gem guys. They’ve made a business out of building parts to fix the ghetto-tier Chinese machines and make them a lot more usable.

Brings the entry level cost for a young person with an interest down to about $700.

That’s something people can actually take a chance on and see if they can build something.

Bless his heart for that thankless work.

How did the guilds respond?

“IT’S RUBBISH! YOU CAN’T CUT ON THAT! WE WON’T HELP YOU IF YOU GET STUCK ON THAT!”

in reply to dobó istván

And what help.

When someone pays their yearly dues and comes to the groups with a problem, they get 200 different answers: not one of which is right.

It’s your machine. Turn this knob. Fuck with that screw. Buy this $300 part. Throw $6000 at a new machine. Have all your laps remachined by my friend for $1200. Use wax. No! Use epoxy.

I’ve had at least 100 students over the years.

The answer is almost always “Durr, you pressed too hard. Do it again, go slower, build hand control.”

Downvoted.

Domain Catching is a nasty sort of #fraud. Ever heard of it?

Here's what happens:

Fraudster manages to register an expired domain, then creates a simulation of the previous website (using an archive version)

Next, they add (spam) content to this website

This way, they exploit the online identity of the previous domain owner

The damage done can be serious, and a personal violation

the usrmerge thing is not anything to do with personal use vs enterprise multi-user system.

lmddgtfy.net/?q=usrmerge says before the results:

UsrMerge is a process that combines the traditional directories like /bin, /sbin, and /lib into their counterparts in /usr, creating symlinks to streamline the filesystem structure in Linux systems. This change aims to improve consistency and organization within the operating system, but it can complicate upgrades and package management. community.linuxmint.com en.opensuse.org

Soberania JÁ - Plantaformas

plantaformas.org/conferences/S…

Construindo um Plano Digital para a Soberania NacionalVivemos um momento decisivo para o futuro digital do Brasil. A crescente concentração de poder nas mãos das grandes plataformas, a dependência de infraestruturas estrangeiras e a ausência de políticas públicas robustas no campo da tecnologia colocam em risco a soberania nacional, os direitos fundamentais e a democracia.A regulação das plataformas e da inteligência artificial já estão no centro do debate. No entanto, é preciso ir além. Precisamos de um projeto estruturante, nacional e coletivo, que aponte caminhos concretos para a construção de uma infraestrutura digital própria, baseada em código aberto, tecnologias públicas e controle democrático sobre dados, algoritmos e redes, com foco na soberania popular dos territórios e das pessoas.Nesse contexto, convidamos você e sua organização a participar do encontro Soberania Já! , que acontecerá nos dias 08 e 09 de julho , em Brasília.
