Its utterly amazing to me that some people are soooo retarded that they haven't figured out that modern education credentials are utterly usless in identifying expertise or intelligence.
Anybody identified as an expert, is likely just a degreed pinhead, is likely wrong, and likely too stupid to know just how ignorant they are. After all they have a piece of paper that says otherwise.

We brought the price of Eggs back to what they were supposed to be. When I took over on January 20th, the Fake News was screaming that, “Egg prices have gone through the roof, quadrupled,” they said. Now they’re plentiful, and inexpensive. “Thank you President Trump!”
This is the kind of content the .ml admins cultivate through their bans and censorship. They'll frequently remove articles from credible good sources that directly go against their narratives, while allowing misinformation and conspiracy websites to include RT, Sputnik and (as shown) random substack blogs as long as they tow the narratives that align with them.
E.g. Ukraine is a Nazi regime and Russia is just "liberating" the Ukrainian people
Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead
Unfortunately, the "block" isn't really a block on Lemmy, it's barely a mute and that goes for user and instance blocks. Because dessalines refuses to implement a proper system (unsurprisingly). It's been 4 years since "blocks" rolled out
In any case it still allows their toxicity and misinformation to spread, trolling new users who come here unaware of the need to block and such
Really, the best answer is to call for wide defederation like the rest of the Tankie Triad is treated
Is piefed a Lemmy alternative? There are so many new things (very cool!) out there, and Lemmy starts to lose it's luster IMO, not very much interesting news or discussions, lots and lots of "gEnOcIdE" troll bullshit (I mean you can't even ask questions to these people).
Yea, for the most part, but it's still fully federated so you'll still be part of the Threadiverse and will be able to fully see and interact with all of Lemmy's content and users without issues
But, on PieFed, at least block means block, blocking lemmy.ml or any other instance on PieFed blocks comms and users alike and blocking an individual user on PieFed means they won't be seeing any of your comments or posts. So none of this mute BS on Lemmy where problematic users can still brigade your content and comment "behind your back" on your posts/comments without your knowledge

This text was written in the context of the anti-fascist three-day conference of June 20-22, but its typing and publication was delayed.
Responding to the call of the anti-fascist days of actions (20-22 June), of antifa Maja T. who has been on hunger strike since 5/6 in Hungarian prisons, we send our own signal of solidarity to their struggle. Two years ago, during the day of honor (anniversary of the mass extermination of Hungarian and German Nazis in 1945), where a fascist rally-march takes place in Budapest, where hundreds of neo-Nazis and fascists gather. In response to this call, anti-fascists from Europe have decided to return to them some of the violence they produce.
The far-right Hungarian government began a series of arrests, openly supporting the fascists, with inflated indictments of criminal organizations and inhumane conditions of confinement. Other European states cooperated with each other, engaging in a series of deportations and persecutions. Germany played a leading role in characterizing the German anti-fascists persecuted by the Hungarian state as dangerous criminals, culminating in the overnight extradition of Maja T. Many of the people involved chose to go underground, refusing to surrender their freedom in the hands of either the German or the Hungarian state. One of these people was Maja T. until their arrest and extradition.
We are going through a period of vertical rise of the far right and nationalism in the West. More and more people are turning to fascist and nationalist formations. The incompetence of the left and the retreat of the revolutionary movements left room for all kinds of fascist formations to develop and expand their audience. A disappointed audience that found in its face the anti-systemism it was looking for.
Fascism and nationalism have always been the other side of systemism. Especially in times of crisis, when neoliberalism is rotting, fascism emerges as a solution to the problem. The narrative of the national core, racial superiority and the necessity of militarization is used. Militant anti-fascism is the only solution to this problem. We have no illusions about the education of the descendants of the blackshirts, nor do we obviously seek their imprisonment. After all, fascism is crushed in the streets.
Defending anti-fascism, Maja T found themself imprisoned in Hungarian prisons in conditions of extreme isolation. Conditions that led them to embank their own body, starting a hunger strike from 5/6. From our own cell, the least we can do is stand by it, sending strength and solidarity.
Victory in Maja T’s hunger strike. Solidarity with those who are persecuted for their anti-fascist activity Solidarity with the two persecuted comrades, accused of attacks on the offices of Golden Dawn Kyriakos Ximitiris present
It’s easy to show solidarity with powerless victims who endure their suffering with stoicism. But Palestinians chose to break free of their cage, even if it shattered the image of perfect victimhood.

New SpaceX report on Starlink conjunctions and deorbits (a.k.a. dumping tons of metal/plastic/solar panels/computers into the upper atmosphere) scribd.com/document/883045105/…
Scariest part: 472 Starlinks were burned up in the atmosphere in Dec-May. Assuming each satellite is 800kg, and 50% aluminum by mass, that's 1 ton of aluminum PER DAY.
The natural infall rate of aluminum from meteoroids is 0.3 tons per day. Starlink has been ~3x that, for the last 6 months.
Kessler Syndrome update: They report 144,000 collision avoidance maneuvers across the whole constellation in Dec-May. That's about one maneuver every 2 minutes.
Every 2 minutes there's a chance for a mistake that would lead to a very bad day in orbit. And as this paper shows (with Dr. Kessler himself as a co-author!), a very bad day at that altitude would lead to a runaway collisional cascade. No more satellites at that altitude! conference.sdo.esoc.esa.int/pr…
SpaceX spends a lot of time saying how safe they are with their threshhold for collision avoidance maneuvers, which is great. But they HAVE to be! With those densities, high collision probability conjunctions happen many times per day. It is impressive that they have been operating perfectly, but how long do they think they can keep this up with zero mistakes?
And what if all the Starlinks are not all fully burning up as they claim? That's a lot of stuff hitting the ground...
did you write the thread on what Kessler-Syndrome would look like with a timeline description of the fireworks? I saw it a year ago here on mastodon, but didn't bookmark and don't remember the author :/
Do you have a reading tip for laypersons about the effects aluminum has in the atmosphere? I'm often asked by people who have no idea about satellites and believe that "everything vanishes in the air".
Welp, in case we needed even more things to worry about, apparently in 3 days we're going to stress-test Starlink's current orbital configuration with a severe geomagnetic storm.
dang, I really thought these things were smaller and lighter. 800kg really? Who would've thought that burning up space debris in the atmosphere wouldn't always be a low-impact solution 🙄 yikes
Just found out that the 3 NASA WB-57 aircraft often carry a cosmic dust collector on their high-altitude missions. Think satellite debris would be detectable in it soon?
a) how does this compare with baseline other satellites without Star Link and previous generations like iridium?
B) so starlink could theoretically offload the expense of running its own collision avoidance unit to some world government entity because the risk is shared even though the gain is not. Like doing now what would happen if they were to go bankrupt and cease operations
Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven't looked back.
Lag? And discontinuous of stuff like X11 and PulseAudio. They even tried to pass removal of 32 bit packages recently. It may not sound important for 64 bit systems but actually a lot of apps (especially proprietary ones) are in themselves 32 bit.
You only have to replace it if the disadvantages affect you. Usually they affect old hardware, specialist hardware and NVidia GPUs. If you have none of those, you should probably be fine.

The state of remote working with Wayland is, well, lackluster to put it kindly. And with Sway, it's quite abysmal.
Here is my solution to remote my Sway desktop at work and make it persistent so it survives network outages. This is not the perfect solution, probably, but it works for me.
A few prerequisites
You need a dedicated remote account. It's generally a good idea regardless of whether you use Wayland or X11 to have a main account and a secondary remote account if you don't want to work with the same desktop locally and remotely. The reason is, your local desktop settings can differ significantly from the remote desktop settings (for instance, if you work with 2 high-res monitors locally but on a small laptop screen remotely) so a unique set of settings may not work well in both cases.
Also, unless you log out of the local and remote sessions religiously after you're done, you're likely to run both sessions at the same time at some point. If you do, you may run more than one instance of the same utilities, which tend to overwrite one another's temporary files, caches and such, and generally creating a mess.
So it's much cleaner to have a separate main account and remote account, with adequate permissions to access files in one from the other, and run two separate desktops.
To remote a Sway desktop, you'll use VNC. It's not great but that's the only option at the moment.
My solution below is reasonably secure if you're the only user on your machine, or if the other local users aren't adversarial. If they are, you'll use a Unix socket or enable authentication in Wayvnc for extra security (see Final note below), which works fine, but is incompatible with Remmina. And I happen to like Remmina 🙂 So I didn't. I'm a low-risk target but do what works best for you.
If there are more than one user doing remote work on the machine, each one will need to be assigned their own VNC port. Again, it's not great, but Wayland makes doing anything else with the existing tools exceedingly painful.
Setup
The idea is to: - SSH into the remote machine and create a tunnel from the remote machine's VNC port corresponding to the particular remote user (if you're the only one, 5900 most likely) to a local port on your local machine. - Upon connection through SSH, start Sway headless in a persistent manner (meaning the Sway session doesn't get killed if the ssh connection dies). - Make Sway start Wayvnc to expose the headless display through VNC. - On the local machine, connect to the local end of the SSH tunnel to connect to the remote Wayvnc server.
Required software packages
On the remote machine
tmux: this is a screen-like terminal multiplexer that allows sessions to remain open even if the terminal underneath disappears.
sway obviously...
wayvnc: that's the Wayland VNC server
On the local machine, install:
ssh: the SSH client
Any VNC viewer
Configuration of the remote machine
Add a user called <your_main_username>-remote for example.
In the remote user's account, configure:
sway: Put the following lines in .config/sway/config:
# Start the VNC server: set the resolution you want (fixed)
output HEADLESS-1 mode 1920x1080
# Start the VNC server
exec cd $HOME/.config/wayvnc && /usr/bin/wayvnc -C $HOME/.config/wayvnc/config
wayvnc: Put the following lines in .config/wayvnc/config
address=localhost
port=5900
If you have more than one user, allocate a unique port per remote user
Create a ~/scripts directory in your home directory (that's where I put my scripts. If you want to do something else, it's up to you, but the following assumes the relevant scripts are located in ~/scripts)
Create ~/scripts/sway_headless.sh with the following content, to start Sway headless:
Create a start_persistent_sway_headless.sh script to start Sway and Wayvnc in a background tmux session if it doesn't exist already, and only exit when the Wayvnc server is ready to accept connections:
#!/bin/sh
# Pass the -w argument to this script to wait until the VNC server stops before exiting (for interactive SSH sessions, to keep the tunnel open)
# If not already running, start Sway headless in a tmux session and immediately detach from it
tmux has-session -t sway 2> /dev/null || tmux new-session -d -s sway $HOME/scripts/sway_headless.sh
# Source the wayvnc config file to get the address and port it's listening on
. $HOME/.config/wayvnc/config
# Wait until the VNC server is up
retry=5
while [ ${retry} -gt 0 ] && ! nc -z ${address} ${port} 2> /dev/null; do
sleep 1
retry=$((retry-1))
done
# Wait until the VNC server goes back down if requested
if [ "$1" = "-w" ]; then
while nc -z ${address} ${port} 2> /dev/null; do
sleep 1
done
fi
Optionally, create a stop_persistent_sway_headless.sh script to stop the background tmux session running Sway and Wayvnc. It's not strictly needed but you might find it useful if you want to stop Sway manually:
#!/bin/sh
tmux kill-session -t sway 2> /dev/null
Connecting from the local machine
Manually:
To start Sway and Wayvnc on the remote machine, and create the VNC tunnel manually with SSH, do this in one terminal (the local end of the tunnel is port 35900 here):
Then to connect to the remote machine through the SSH tunnel manually, do this in another terminal:
$ vncviewer localhost:35900
With Remmina:
Final note
This setup is acceptable if you're the only user on the machine, or the other users are friendly folks, and your machine is secured!
The reason for this is, when Wayvnc is running without authentication, malevolent local users can freely connect to your session and take over your remote desktop.
There are two ways around that, but neither is compatible with Remmina.
Use a Unix socket instead of a TCP port to serve up VNC on the remote machine. To do this:
Remove ~/.config/wayvnc and replace the Wayvnc startup line in the remote user's Sway config file with:
exec /usr/bin/wayvnc -u $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayvnc
Replace the content of ~/scripts/start_persistent_sway_headless.sh with:
#!/bin/sh
# Pass the -w argument to this script to wait until the VNC server stops before exiting (for interactive SSH sessions, to keep the tunnel open)
# If not already running, start Sway headless in a tmux session and immediately detach from it
tmux has-session -t sway 2> /dev/null || tmux new-session -d -s sway $HOME/scripts/sway_headless.sh
# Wait until the VNC server is up
retry=5
while [ ${retry} -gt 0 ] && ! [ -S ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/wayvnc ] 2> /dev/null; do
sleep 1
retry=$((retry-1))
done
# Wait until the VNC server goes back down if requested
if [ "$1" = "-w" ]; then
while [ -S ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/wayvnc ] 2> /dev/null; do
sleep 1
done
fi
Then to start the SSH tunnel manually to tunnel the remote Unix socket to the local TCP port, do this:
$ ssh -L35900:/run/user/<remote user ID>/wayvnc <your_main_username>-remote@reform "~/scripts/start_persistent_sway_headless.sh -w"
This is more secure because the socket file is only visible to your remote user on the remote machine, and not to other local users on the remote machine. Unfortunately Remmina doesn't know how to forward Unix sockets.
Enable TLS or AES authentication in .config/wayvnc/config as described here. Unfortunately, when authentication is enabled in Wayvnc, it's not possible to use just a username and password (which would be secure enough in a local context) and Remmina can't work with either forms of authentication offered by Wayvnc. Other VNC viewers like Tigervnc have no problem however.
Also, it means you have to enter your password again to log into VNC, so it's not great for automation.

On TikTok, there are hundreds of conversations about the phenomenon of internal monologues — and the lack thereof. Here's what experts say about inner speech.
« Mes amis Parfois, on ne parvient pas à dire non, car la personne en face ne semble pas pouvoir se débrouiller sans vous. Voyons le « non » comme une opportunité de l’aider : elle va devoir essayer seule ! Vous pouvez bien sûr lui montrer le chemin : tendez la canne à pêche sans lui livrer le poisson ! Elle progressera. »

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority struck down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban on Wednesday, ruling 4-3 that it was superseded by newer state laws regulating the procedure, including statutes that criminalize abortions only after a fetus can survive outside the womb.
The ruling came as no surprise given that liberal justices control the court. One of them went so far as to promise to uphold abortion rights during her campaign two years ago, and they blasted the ban during oral arguments in November.
« Mes amis Lorsque l’on vous sollicite, demandez-vous toujours si vous vous apprêtez à dire oui par politesse ou par envie. Si vous vous forcez afin d’être gentil alors que vous préférez rester chez vous ou faire autre chose de votre temps, vous méritez de dire non. »
The 15 ministers said that Israel's "strategic partnership, backing, and support of the U.S. and President Donald Trump" make this a "propitious time" to formally steal most of Palestine.
« Pour lutter contre la procrastination, évitez de penser : « Je dois accomplir cette tâche », essayez plutôt de vous dire : « Je choisis d’accomplir cette tâche » ou : « Je peux au moins accomplir cette tâche ». S’exprimer ainsi change tout : vous redevenez maître de vos actions, vous prenez le lead, vous ne subissez plus. »
The American Minot nuclear base in North Dakota has been threatened by an invasion of squirrels known to local personnel as "dacrates." These rodents, which have long been a problem, cause serious damage to infrastructure, spread diseases, and threaten the safety of military personnel and their families.
At the same time, the base recently received an 850 million dollar upgrade aimed at strengthening the US nuclear potential. Squirrels reproduce without control — natural predators have disappeared, and effective means of control cannot be used because of the risk to people, including children.
Thus, instead of demonstrating strength and technological superiority, one of the key US nuclear bases looks vulnerable to a pack of small but extremely annoying animals.
#Ukraine : Latest News Russian forces open new front in #Kharkiv region. Stormy developments in the Kharkiv region, as Russian army units carried out a lightning operation, crossing the border and capturing the settlement of #Melovoe, thus opening a new front in the Kharkiv region.
This creates a huge problem for the Ukrainian army, which is already unable to fill the gaps that existed on other fronts.
