Israelis 'Flooding' Into #Cyprus to 'Buy Anything In Sight' 24 mins
Dimitri Lascaris travels to Cyprus to investigate reports in the Israeli and Cypriot media that Israelis have been 'flooding' into Cyprus and 'buying anything in sight'.
In the course of his investigation, Lascaris visited resorts and other business that quietly cater to an affluent Israeli clientele.
Lascaris also examined the little-discussed fact that the earliest Zionists viewed Cyprus as a stepping stone to the colonization of Palestine.

there are a few HEMA clubs that I go to that donโt bring up any affiliation one way or another. I enjoy it because these clubs have a culture of leaving differences at the door in order to just fight and train with each other. Christians, queers, nerds and jocks, there is mutual respect to just get together and learn the art.
It does appear HEMA has more progressive practitioners than other combat arts, but I also personally know many fighters that identify as conservative or independent that just keep to themselves so its hard to know what the demographic is truly like overall. In my opinion, it does you no good to only fight people that ideologically agree with you. You improve the most when you fight as many different people as possible and I think there is nothing wrong with trying to be friends with people of walks of life. Jesus ate with criminals, outcasts and deviants. All were invited.

The main event in Ubuntu 24.04 is GNOME 46, it you improved notifications, that can be expanded, or collapsed, and they'll now show a little symbolic icon next to their title. More interesting, you get experimental support for variable refresh rate. It's not enabled by default, you'll need to use dconf to turn it on.
Fractional scaling also got better, with fonts now looking less blurry and properly aligned when using fractional scaling, and you can now login to a GNOME user through RDP, instead of having to remote into a session where someone was already logged in.
Nautilus, the file manager, now finally lets you edit the file path by clicking on the path bar, it will also search faster, and through the entire filesystem by default now, file transfers are now moved to the sidebar, and you can also change a folder's icon from the properties panel of that folder. Finally, you also get a new option to change how dates are displayed.
The main system Settings changed a bit as well, with a new "system" page, default apps have been merged into the main "apps" settings page, which also includes the default actions you can configure when you insert removable media.
The mouse and touchpad settings now let you configure how you trigger the right click, and there's a new mouse test page to make sure these settings work for you. You can also turn off the touchpad when typing.
The GNOME Online accounts also received some love for its backend: it now uses the default browser for authentication into accounts. You can also add a WebDAV account, or a Microsoft Personal Account as well, which will give you access to your OneDrive storage straight from Nautilus.
Ubuntu 24.04 comes with the kernel 6.8, the latest available right now. The main thing in here is the new P state drivers, meaning your Intel CPUs will be able to hit their advertised boost speeds, but also that using it on laptops should yield better batter life, whether you have an AMD or Intel CPU, especially since Ubuntu 24.04 now uses better power profiles based on these new P State drivers.
Ubuntu also moves to Netplan, a network management tool that shouldn't change anything for regular users that just connect to wifi, but will definitely improve the life of people who have to create complex network configurations.
For gamers, you're also getting a better experience here: the virtual memory mapping limit was increased by a factor of 16 in 24.04, meaning that games that could crash at launch, or after a few hours of play time will no longer do so, at least if the crash was related to them trying to grab a lot of memory. It's a change that Arch also recently made.
Another interesting change is that all services that are affected by a library update will automatically be restarted, to ensure that these services will be running with the latest security fixes apps one, there'slied. It's more important for servers than desktops, but it's a good change, that you can disable if you don't like it.

They get you there by first tricking you into believing you do understand.

Key Markets report for Thursday, July 3, 2025Alex Krainer (I-System TrendCompass)
If you think the Democrats are going to save us, think again. Californiaโs state assembly, overwhelmingly Democratic, just passed a new fascistic censorship and government control bill, AB715, with 100% unanimous support.
The bill claims to protect public school students from antisemitism and islamophobia. In reality, it simply suppresses free speech of students and staff. Itโs definition of antisemitism is so broad that it will likely lead to an official policy equating anti-Zionism, and criticism of Israel, with antisemitism.
It prohibits schools from using any instructional material the state finds discriminatory, which will likely lead to bans and erasures of maps and distortions of curriculum on Palestine, Kurdistan, and Arab and Muslim history, in general.
The law would create the stateโs first โAntisemitism Czar,โ a new bureaucratic arbiter of what is acceptable speech and curriculum versus what is to be considered โantisemitic.โ
Teachers, staff, and board members would be subject to rapid and severe consequences should the state find them in violation of this new law. Not only is this a severe restriction on academic freedom and the ability of teachers to teach the historical facts to their students, but itโs a violation of teachersโ rights to due process and to protection from vindictive and arbitrary discipline. No where does it state that a teacher must be found guilty of discriminating against a student, or a class of students. All they have to do to be in violation of the law is to say something the new state Antisemitism Czar finds offensive, like โPalestinians have the right to self-determination,โ or โIsrael is committing genocide.โ Or even something as innocent as "Save the Children in Palestine."

El ecuatoguineano, una de las voces mรกs relevantes de la literatura africana en espaรฑol, serรก desahuciado de su casa en Espinardo, donde reside desde hace 20 aรฑos. La comunidad africana y afrodescendiente ha lanzado una campaรฑa de apoyo ante este "nuevo capรญtulo de abandono institucional"
Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo (Niefang, 1950), considerado por muchos como el mayor intelectual africano en lengua espaรฑola, se enfrenta a un desahucio que amenaza con dejarlo en la calle junto a su esposa e hijos. Serรก el prรณximo 7 de julio, en Espinardo (Murcia), donde reside desde principios de los 2000. El impago de su hipoteca, producto de una situaciรณn econรณmica asfixiante agravada por su exilio forzado y dรฉcadas de exclusiรณn institucional, ha desembocado en una orden de desahucio que ya no tiene marcha atrรกs. โNo estoy deprimido, ni me voy a suicidar. Llevo toda mi vida plantando cara al poder y no voy a agachar la cabeza ahoraโ, ha declarado a elDiario.es de la Regiรณn de Murcia.
Ndongo vive actualmente con su familia en una vivienda que comprรณ en 2002, al instalarse en la Regiรณn de Murcia tras su expulsiรณn de Guinea Ecuatorial, donde fue perseguido por el rรฉgimen dictatorial de Teodoro Obiang. โMe dijeron que estaban hartos de mรญ y que me tenรญa que irโ, contaba en una entrevista con este medio. Fue ministro del gobierno en el exilio, corresponsal de EFE en รfrica Central y director del Centro Cultural Hispano-Guineano de Malabo hasta 1994, cuando tuvo que abandonar su paรญs a punta de pistola.
Desde entonces, su carrera ha sido una sucesiรณn de vetos. Fue cesado de su puesto en la Agencia EFE tras presiones que รฉl vincula directamente al entonces director general de Polรญtica Exterior para รfrica, Miguel รngel Moratinos. Mรกs tarde, en 2000, ganรณ el concurso pรบblico para fundar y dirigir un Centro de Estudios Africanos en la Universidad de Murcia, pero su contrato fue rescindido en 2004 sin explicaciones.
โSi no he podido pagar mi hipoteca es porque el Estado espaรฑol me debe una pensiรณn por todos los aรฑos que trabajรฉ para EFE. Todo eso estรก acreditado, documentado y demostradoโ, expone. Pese a su prestigio internacional como autor de obras como 'Las tinieblas de tu memoria negra' o 'El sueรฑo', Ndongo sobrevive con una pensiรณn mรญnima. Segรบn relata, todos sus ingresos estรกn destinados a que sus hijos puedan estudiar.
Ahora mismo se encuentra afrontando la ejecuciรณn hipotecaria en solitario: โMis hijos estรกn en Madrid y mi mujer, que se operรณ de la rodilla hace poco, estรก recuperรกndose en Francia con su madre. Estoy aquรญ solo, recibiendo telefonazos de medio mundo, porque nadie se puede creer lo que me estรก pasando. A finales de julio tengo una ponencia en Canarias y no sรฉ cรณmo voy a prepararla sin casaโ.
Durante dรฉcadas, Donato Ndongo ha denunciado las dictaduras africanas, el neocolonialismo europeo y la instrumentalizaciรณn de la identidad negra en los discursos oficiales. Fue el รบltimo periodista que informaba desde Guinea Ecuatorial hacia el exterior antes de ser forzado a huir.
Sin alternativa habitacional, sin apoyo institucional y con apenas medios para resistir, Ndongo se enfrenta al desahucio con la dignidad de quien ha plantado cara al poder toda su vida. Asegura que no tiene intenciรณn de irse por su propio pie. โSi quieren que me vaya, me van a tener que sacar esposado o muerto. Si no resistimos, nos aplastanโ. La fecha ya estรก marcada: el 7 de julio. Ese dรญa, las autoridades acudirรกn a la vivienda de Espinardo para ejecutar la orden judicial.
La noticia del desahucio ha provocado una oleada de indignaciรณn en la comunidad africana y afrodescendiente en Espaรฑa, que ha emitido un comunicado urgente denunciando el abandono institucional que Ndongo ha sufrido durante dรฉcadas. โCuando el sistema abandona, la comunidad se hace corresponsableโ, afirman en el texto, en el que acusan al Estado espaรฑol de invisibilizar y maltratar a quien consideran โnuestro escritor mรกs universalโ. Para evitar que la familia se quede en la calle, han lanzado una caja de resistencia con la que esperan reunir fondos que permitan, al menos, cubrir una vivienda en alquiler: ING - ES61 1465 0320 0617 4412 9794.
En su comunicado, los firmantes advierten de que lo que estรก ocurriendo con Ndongo no es un caso aislado, sino โuna muestra mรกs del racismo sistรฉmico que a menudo impide nuestro progreso en paรญses como Espaรฑaโ. Pese a haber dedicado su vida a la recuperaciรณn de memorias histรณricas invisibilizadas y a la difusiรณn de la cultura hispรกnica en tres continentes, denuncian que sus aportaciones han sido sistemรกticamente ignoradas por las instituciones. โO quizรก precisamente por esoโ, ironizan. Reclaman no solo una soluciรณn inmediata a su situaciรณn habitacional, sino tambiรฉn el reconocimiento pรบblico de su trayectoria y la posibilidad de que โpueda ser contratado en algรบn lugar donde le valoren como se mereceโ.

I don't know if this is common knowledge but I hadn't found anything on the web (for Windows specifically) that stated that this was possible.
I kinda badly want to fully switch to Linux in the short term but wanted to first properly test how different distros feel at these specs (and maybe try some basic gaming too); maybe someone that wants to do the same can find this post useful (I hope this is the right community to post to).
To do this I used QEMU, and had to edit the source code and recompile it to enable 240hz.
Forcing higher refresh rates is surprisingly not that hard, I only had to edit a single line of code (hw\display\edid-generate.c, line ~390, set '75000' to '240000').
So far Mint, Fedora and KDE Neon work perfectly at that refresh rate (after adjusting mouse input polling rates), then I added a couple other nice features like shared clipboard and mouse device toggling (I tested q2pro and it wouldn't work with absolute mouse coordinates, and relative mouse was a pain to use in normal desktop browsing, so I had to find a way to toggle them if I didn't want to reboot the VM every time).
This is my very first lemmy post (hi fedi!), I wrote this lengthy blog post detailing how I did everything, hopefully I'm allowed to post it here (reddit traumatized me with the blanket banning).
Ever wanted to run a VM at 240hz on Windows? No? Understandable. But I did that anyway cause it seemed very cool to me (still is), and I've explained how to do that in this post. K bye.blog.enkhayzomachines.net

If you try to run the game from the windows vm yes the perf are bad.
But try to play these game from linux using wine/lutris ou protom/steam and you could be surprised
My games were running better (really better) on archlinux than windows 11. And i have also a nvidia card (RTX 3090 FE)

Interesting article reporting that Android will soon give Gemini broadened access to phones and the apps they run, even when Gemini has not been turned on. Article gos on to say people who don't want this should "open the Gemini app from your Android device" and turn off each app extension. Sounds simple enough, but I'm not finding any Gemini app installed on my pixel. Can anyone help me figure out what precisely people must do too keep Gemini off of their android devices?
