Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s Cheops mission have caught an exoplanet that seems to be triggering flares of radiation from the star it orbits. These tremendous explosions are blasting away the planet’s wispy atmosphere, causing it to shrink every year.
This is the first-ever evidence for a ‘planet with a death wish’. Though it was theorised to be possible since the nineties, the flares seen in this research are around 100 times more energetic than expected.

Hallo Internet, geehrte Denkende!
Ich bin ein extremer Befürworter der #GenferKonvention, sie muss aber auch endlich und konsequent umgesetzt werden.
Überall bzw. weltweit sehe ich gerade circa 120 kriegerische bzw. völkerrechtswidrige Kriege, alle verstoßen gegen die Genfer Konventionen.
Kriege sind nur durch Gespräche zu lösen, also nicht durch immer mehr und neuere Waffen.
Dass das nur durch gute Politiker gelöst werden kann, ist eh klar.
Sollten diese jetzigen "Politiker" uns als Bevölkerung nicht durch Verhandlungen schützen können oder wollen, so sollte man sich wirklich die Frage stellen, ob man diese Versager noch in ihren Ämtern belässt.
Einen freiwilligen Rücktritt kann man wohl heutzutage leider kaum mehr erwarten, wenn "man" gleichzeitig in einer der Aufsichtsräte der Waffenindustrie sitzt und mitkassiert.
Die Demokratie braucht ein Fundament, was die kapitalistische Gesellschaft gar nicht bauen kann, weil der Krieg zum Kapitalismus gehört wie das Amen zur Kirche.
Was machste mit einem machtgeilen Verrückten, der einfach seinen Nachbarn überfällt und Zivilisten bombardiert? Und jedem mit der Atombombe droht, der ihn hindern will?
Mit so jemanden ist nicht zu reden, jedenfalls nicht über die Genfer Konventionen. Der versteht und respektiert nur eine Sprache: Stärke und Konsequenz.
Klar kann man den Konflikt durch Verhandlungen "befrieden" - indem das Opfer aufgibt. Aber Appeasement funktioniert nun mal bekanntlich nicht. Nachdem es außerdem mehr als einen verrückten Potentaten gibt, die Erde aber eine Kugel und ihre Oberfläche daher endlich ist, stößt diese Strategie unausweichlich an Grenzen. In einer Welt, wie sie am Ende dieser "Befriedungen" wäre, will niemand leben. Wer das aber verhindern will, für den ist Kampf alternativlos.
Durch die Art und Weise, wie man ihn führt, definiert man hingegen nachhaltig, wer und was man ist. Den Kampf mit den Unmenschen aufzunehmen und dabei die eigene Menschlichkeit zu bewahren - das ist die Kunst.

_If there were no government, wouldn’t psychopaths or supervillains acquire nuclear weapons and either deploy them or use them for blackmail?_
Christopher Cook's answer:
Nuclear bombs are incredibly expensive. Fissile materials have to be mined and then enriched. Delivery technology must be invented, improved, built, and maintained. States can do this because they can steal your money through taxation or print it (and enrich themselves and their cronies in the process due to the Cantillon Effect).
In a condition of market anarchism, a private person must acquire this wealth through providing goods and services. He would have to be a successful businessman—offering things that people want, things that people feel would make their lives better—BEFORE he can get the wealth necessary to build even a small number of missiles/bombs.
So does our nuclear-mad psychopath intentionally seek success in business just so he can acquire the wealth needed to develop even a small arsenal? Maybe.
But then we must ask—what are his incentives to do so? Bloodlust? Lunacy? Again, maybe, but certainly not a common scenario.
Meanwhile, we know the perverse incentives of the state. We know that “War is the heath of the state.” War makes the state more powerful. War allows centralizers to centralize. War allows some to become fabulously wealthy making weapons. “Democracy” allows all of these costs to be passed on to the people. And the nationalism of the modern state allows authorities to convince people in their own lands that people in far-off lands are their bitter enemies. To sacrifice their wealth and treasure, to sacrifice themselves and their children to fight this far-off enemy. And if you are unwilling to fight, they can draft you and kill you if you refuse.
The private psychopath in a condition of market anarchism has none of these incentives and none of these abilities. The state, by contrast, has all of them. The state has a record of using nuclear weapons. The state can build and maintain a world-destroying number of them. The Japanese were suing for peace when “we” dropped Fat Man and Little Boy, just to show the USSR we meant business.
I am not saying that psychos will not exist in a condition of market anarchism, or that such a condition will be perfect. But when we compare that possibility to the current reality, how can we possibly prefer the current reality?

Today in Labor History July 2, 1929: Augusto Sandino left for México to seek aid for his Nicaraguan rebels, fighting the U.S. occupation of his country. The rebellion lasted from 1927-1933. In 1934, he was assassinated by General Anastasio Somoza, who seized power in a 1936 coup d’etat, and who, along with his sons, ran the country as dictators until the Sandinista Revolution of 1979 ended their reign of terror. While in México, during early 1920s, Sandino participated in strikes led by the IWW. Inspired by the Wobblies, he returned to foment revolution in Nicaragua, adopting the IWW's black and red syndicalist colors in their Revolutionary Flag.

Peut-on encore parler de fascisme ? Dans les médias dominants, employer ce terme pour décrire la montée des mouvements d'extrême-droite est tourné en dérision. Trop radical, trop polémique : le mot "fascisme" serait anachronique, inopérant.
Pourtant, depuis 1945, jamais les discours autoritaires, racistes et identitaires n'ont autant imprégné le débat public dans les démocraties occidentales. L'ascension de Trump et le salut nazi d'Elon Musk incarnent une extrême droite décomplexée, désormais au pouvoir.
Malgré les discours populistes et antisystème de ces mouvements, leurs alliés s'affichent maintenant au grand jour : les milliardaires et leurs multinationales, de Zuckerberg à Arnault, et une partie grandissante de la bourgeoisie, prête à tout pour conserver son pouvoir. Le vent a définitivement tourné.
Alors, l'histoire se répète-t-elle ? Assistons-nous à l'émergence d'un nouveau fascisme ? Mais d'abord, qu'est-ce que le fascisme ?
Dans ce climat de grande confusion où il devient urgent de nommer clairement l'ennemi pour mieux le combattre, Blast vous propose de revenir aux sources : comprendre les origines, l'histoire et les mutations du fascisme d'hier pour éclairer les dangers d'aujourd'hui.

Linus Torvalds order to block the Kees Cook's account after the detection of syuspicioiuus alterations
Darkcrizt
A few days ago, an unusual incident occurred, which shook the Linux kernel community, and Linus Torvalds ordered the immediate blocking of Kees Cook's account at kernel.org, after detecting the existence of manipulated commits in this developer's Git repository.
Kees Cook, renowned for his leadership in Ubuntu's security team and for maintaining more than a dozen subsystems related to the safety of the Kernel, was temporarily banned from sending changes while the facts were clarified.
Alteration of authors and signatures in Kees Cook's repository
The problem was generated by a request for incorporation of change into the branch of the kernel 6.16, in which Linus identified references to a repository containing commits manipulated with his name as author and confirmer, despite not having made them. One of the most serious examples was the existence of a duplicate commit, identical in content to the original but with a different SHA1 hash, which falsely included the firm of Linus Torvalds.
These changes could not simply be attributed to an accident error during a git rebarate operation, as they involved the massive modification of sensitive information, including more than 6,000 rewritten confirmations, 330 of which bore Linus's name as author.
Torvalds' reaction: suspicions of deliberate manipulation
Linus Torvalds did not hide his concern and described the facts as potentially malicious:
One or two rewrites could be a mistake. But thousands of them, many with my forged signature, are not," he said. In response, Kees Cook explained that he had had recent technical problems that could have triggered the incident. His SSD unit reportedly had failures during copy operations, which had caused corruption in several repositories. After those mistakes, he tried to recover the status of his repository using redoor git and various automation tools.
However, these operations were carried out on critical branches, such as for-next/hardening and for-linus/hardening, which led to an accidental modification of the history of the repository, including the change in the authorship of commits. Despite his explanation, Linus was skeptical:
I don't understand how you can do an accidental overrun, let alone with this volume of alterations.In a later message, Kees Cook identified the likely source of the error: the combined use of two tools, git-filter-repo and b4 trailers, which manipulate the history of confirmations and trailers (labels as -off-by:) in commits.
This improper use of the utilities would have caused automatic rewriting of thousands of confirmations, including the author's replacement with the default value (in this case, Linus Torvalds), without Kees warning of the error at the time. Konstantin Ryabitsev, author of the b4 tool, confirmed this theory and assured that there was no malicious intention on Cook's part. In fact, the system was already generating warnings that were ignored.
After the situation was clarified, Kees Cook's access to kernel.org was restored. As a preventive measure, it has been announced that tool b4 will include a new security check, which will henceforth prevent the modification of commits whose author does not coincide with the identity of the current user. This seeks to prevent similar errors and protect the integrity of the kernel source code.
Kees, for his part, pledged to recreate the affected branches from individual patches and analyze in depth the steps that led to the error. While the incident has strained relations within the kernel development team, it has also highlighted the importance of cautiously using history rewriting tools, especially in projects as critical as the Linux core.
Finally, it should be mentioned that this incident between Linus Torvalds and Kees Cook serves as a warning about the dangers of manipulating the commissioning record and that thanks to the rapid intervention of the kernel.org officials and the transparency of the process, the situation has been controlled.
Finally, if you are interested in being able to know more about it, you can consult the details in the following link.

Yarr citizens of the high seas! The Stop Killing Games movement is still ongoing and we've recently had a second wind. It's within reach!
We're all lovers of media in here, and games currently have no safeguard that guarantees that they won't be locked down long after being released and abandoned. If crackers help us, they can still be played long into the future, but many times there isn't such a possibility, specially in multiplayer games.
This initiative seeks to change that by mainly:
- Disallowing planned obsolesce in paid video games. (Ex: By disallowing phone-home based DRM after the game reaches end of life. Like in Ubisoft's The Crew)
- Ensuring that paid multiplayer games can still be reasonably played long into the future. (Ex: By releasing relevant server hosting software)
If you didn't sign yet, there is only one month left. Tell your friends too.
Disclaimer: Reminder post, sort of relevant since piracy movements have much to benefit from this initiative.
Have a fine day!

Let's say you're company x budgeting y millions to make a game, after this passes, you may want to account for the fact that the EU may legislate the issue in the years it takes you to develop your game. Might as well work on compliance in advance.
Yeah, wishful thinking, I know.
EU has done some legislation on microtransactions, the most recent one being mandatory real-life currency price tags instead of the in-game currency ones.
It could be seen as a gambling issue rather than digital ownership, but it at least means they pay attention to video games.
