Israel is hiding potentially deadly Oxycodone inside humanitarian aid flour bags in Gaza found at an aid distribution point.
The pills have been identified as Oxycodone 80mg, a highly addictive and deadly drug in larger doses, especially to children.

Annalena Baerbock Elected UN General Assembly President Amid Outcry Over Support for Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

Former UN human rights official Craig Mokhiber sharply criticized Baerbock’s election. He wrote: “The United Nations was born in opposition to German war criminals. Today, it has elected a German war criminal to oversee its accelerating decline. Eighty years later, the Reich takes its revenge with Annalena Baerbock as UNGA President, in the midst of a genocide that she has enthusiastically abetted.”

I haven't had a proper game console since the PS3.
I would like to get one, mostly to play with my family (wife, 7yo kid). I had been waiting for the Switch 2 for a while now (I really resisted the urge to get a Switch OLED back when it was released...).
On the plus side:
On the minus side:
Should I still go with it, or is there a better option? (I hope the better option is not to wait 4 more years for Nintendo to release a newer Switch 2 that would fix the shitty hardware).
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Switch 2's IPS display probably isn't using overdrive.Jeremy Laird (PC Gamer)
I personally don't recommend anyone get the Switch 2. The new price points are frankly ridiculous, and I'd hate to see that shit get justified by sales.
Personally, I'd recommend looking into handheld PCs. I haven't looked into them much myself due to lack of money, but they're generally much more worth the cost from what I've heard.
All that said, I missed that you were looking for something to play with your 7 year old child. Switch might be better, but any handheld would be... notably destructible, so that's a factor to keep in mind.
Yeah, Mastodon's Unlisted is such a misnomer. My biggest gripe with it is that it mainly means "unsearchable".
And you can't really change that on a server, since that would mean that people who did mean "unsearchable" when they chose "unlisted", suddenly find their posts showing up in searches without their consent...
Friendica meanwhile shows threads as threads, but without the collapsing which would be very useful.
That's an urban legend, alas. While that *would* be a great way to make "unlisted" work, that's absolutely, positively, 100% *not* how "unlisted" works.More here, including how to manage threads in your timeline:

#Kneecap news: according to the band themselves, they've been told that their set will not be streamed live but will be available on demand (presumably with some politically inappropriate words cut out) this evening.
I don't know what time this evening, and finding recorded sets on the iplayer during the festival is a challenge at the best of times.
But everyone, do please watch it when you can. I know that most of the people posting about Kneecap here will have no interest in enjoying the actual music, it's just a political point to make.
However, the only reason their political stances have made any headlines at all is because they're popular. And the only reason they're popular is that they are very good at what they do. It would be a great shame if everyone just focused on using them as a political football without paying attention to the tremendously entertaining music that Kneecap make.
Anyway, in about a quarter of an hour, BBC will be streaming Bob Vylan from the West Holts stage without controversy, and they're very good too, so watch that.

We are constantly fed a version of AI that looks, sounds and acts suspiciously like us. It speaks in polished sentences, mimics emotions, expresses curiosity, claims to feel compassion, even dabbles in what it calls creativity.But what we call AI today is nothing more than a statistical machine: a digital parrot regurgitating patterns mined from oceans of human data (the situation hasn’t changed much since it was discussed here five years ago). When it writes an answer to a question, it literally just guesses which letter and word will come next in a sequence – based on the data it’s been trained on.
This means AI has no understanding. No consciousness. No knowledge in any real, human sense. Just pure probability-driven, engineered brilliance — nothing more, and nothing less.
So why is a real “thinking” AI likely impossible? Because it’s bodiless. It has no senses, no flesh, no nerves, no pain, no pleasure. It doesn’t hunger, desire or fear. And because there is no cognition — not a shred — there’s a fundamental gap between the data it consumes (data born out of human feelings and experience) and what it can do with them.
Philosopher David Chalmers calls the mysterious mechanism underlying the relationship between our physical body and consciousness the “hard problem of consciousness”. Eminent scientists have recently hypothesised that consciousness actually emerges from the integration of internal, mental states with sensory representations (such as changes in heart rate, sweating and much more).
Given the paramount importance of the human senses and emotion for consciousness to “happen”, there is a profound and probably irreconcilable disconnect between general AI, the machine, and consciousness, a human phenomenon.
AI may appear human, but it is an illusion we must tackle.The Conversation

NATO's decision to increase military spending to 5% of nations' GDP by 2035 is an obscene betrayal of global needs. This goal is a result of US pressure and will impoverish societies while enriching weapons contractors.

@Beeks the obvious alternative is to use diplomacy to normalize relations with Russia.
The idea that Russia is going to invade Europe militarily is an absurdity. However, the austerity that such drastic increase in military spending will necessitate will absolutely create political discontent that Russia will be able to exploit.

⭕️ The new aid distribution system has become a killing field. Over 400 starving people reported killed since it started operating just a month ago.
⭕️ Instead of "orderly food distribution”, this system brings dehumanization, chaos and death. This cannot become the new norm. This abomination must end through a return to humanitarian deliveries from the #UN including #UNRWA.
⭕️ A #ceasefire is needed and the siege must be lifted to bring back a standard flow of basics including food, medicine, soap and fuel.

Palantir specializes in data analysis and surveillance software used by governments and law enforcement agencies to predict potential threats and guide decision-making.
Palantir has significant influence through contracts in various countries, including the US, UK, Germany, and France.
The company's operations are shrouded in mystery, and its success is tied to the failure of institutions and the erosion of public trust.

On June 23, two people – identified under the pseudonyms “Palay”, 56, and “Putot”, 41, owner of a restaurant – were executed in the municipality of San Isidro. On Thursday, June 26, a third person, identified under his pseudonym “Isagani”, was killed with automatic pistol in the municipality of Bandila (photo). These two municipalities are located in the Toboso region, in the Western Negros. The Maoist guerrillas claimed these executions by explaining that the three men were informants of the army. The struggle has been intesified lately and informants are very present.
