Portuguese author and former politician Bruno Maçães took to social media to criticise a post by Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz. Katz had shared a screenshot from a video showing Israeli airstrikes on Syria, captioned: “The painful blows have begun.”
In response, Maçães wrote: “Not sure what to call this. Psychologically it’s a mental disease. Politically it reminds us of the old European fascism like nothing else since then.”
The exchange followed a wave of powerful Israeli airstrikes that hit Damascus on Wednesday, 16 July. According to Syrian state media, the attacks targeted the Syrian defence ministry, military headquarters, and areas close to the presidential palace.
Footage aired on local TV channels showed a large explosion in central Damascus. Thick plumes of smoke were seen rising around Umayyad Square.

It’s 3am here but Matt Taibbi has yet again misread a (politicized) doc release to claim it says something it doesn’t. He’s so blinded by a desire to exonerate Russia/be right that he’s become functionally illiterate. My article explaining his prior fuckup:www.lawfaremedia.org/article/retc...
Now Tulsi has jumped on the “Russiagate” doc-release bandwagon. She has begun to regularly BS releases where she claims docs say one thing but reading them shows another. Here she is taking an assessment about HACKING VOTING MACHINES, claiming it means 🇷🇺 did nothing. Pay attention to how they lie.
Taibbi is echoing this and implying it means the HACK & LEAK operation etc. The right wing propaganda machine is claiming it’s a coup, a conspiracy, treasonous. Russia interfered in the 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections. In the US. Elsewhere. It’s not hard. This spin is becoming another Big Lie.

I'm thinking about how to make high rigidity complex (complex meaning lots of surfaces, holes, etc) parts at home.
Idea:
3d print multi-part assemblies which have: 1. Internal pockets that can receive rectangles of cut granite tile for rigidity, and/or metal plate that has been burned to shape on a CNC plasma cutter. 2. A hollow inside with fill and vent ports for casting
Then after assembling the part with all of the granite and/or steel support structures, you pump epoxy granite paste in through the fill port, forcing all of the air out through the top vent ports.
The result will not be precise, but it will be fairly rigid, and if you require precise surfaces, you can clamp ground metal parallels into a jig which holds them in the correct orientation, and then use more epoxy to glue the main assembly onto those metal parts.

Histoire de patriarcat ordinaire : Des amis veulent refaire leur salle de bains et cherchent un miroir. Le père de mon amie lui dit : "je vous conseille de prendre ce modèle de cette enseigne. Ça fait 6 mois qu'on l'a, on l'a jamais nettoyé il est toujours propre". Sur ce, sa femme lui rétorque : "mais, tu te fous de moi ? Bien sûr que si je le nettoie le miroir". Le mec, un boomer, pensait sincèrement que le miroir était resté propre car c'était de la bonne qualité et n'imaginait pas un instant que sa femme passait derrière lui tous les jours... Depuis, elle nettoie uniquement son côté.
I'm leaning toward this being a fake story. #1, you wouldn't leave the name of your tow truck visible. #2, this Explorer should tow with the rear wheels off the ground, so why the dollies? When you're trying to snatch a vehicle, you aren't going to take the time to use dollies, so something else is up with this vehicle. It also appears to me as the truck turns the corner their is an ICE agent sort of walking away. (man in brown uniform)

Just revisited (Shakira - La Tortura ft. Alejandro Sanz](tube.matrix.rocks/w/kKF8qjcPbJ…) and it still hits as hard as ever! As a long-time fan of Shakira, I’m always amazed by the raw energy and chemistry on display in this classic.
Released in 2005 from Shakira’s album "Fijación Oral, Vol. 1," "La Tortura" became an anthem for Latin pop and reggaeton fans worldwide. The song dominated the charts, spending an incredible 25 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks and holding the top spot in Spain. Its global impact was massive, with chart appearances in over a dozen countries and more than 329 weeks in various international chart rankings!
The music video itself is iconic - Shakira’s passionate sexy latina dancing and emotional storytelling, paired with Sanz’s heartfelt vocals, created a new standard for Latin music videos. Fun fact: "La Tortura" was the first Spanish-language music video to be featured on MTV’s Total Request Live, breaking language barriers and bringing Latin music to a global audience.
What I love most is being able to watch this on tube.matrix.rocks, an ad-free, tracking-free PeerTube instance. This platform prioritises privacy and is part of the My Privacy DNS project, upholding fundamental human rights and online privacy as detailed in their Human Rights and Online Privacy article.

"La Tortura" was an absolute phenomenon when it dropped in 2005 on Shakira's "Fijación Oral, Vol. 1" album. The chemistry between Shakira and Alejandro Sanz is off the charts! This collaboration dominated Latin music charts, spending a record-breaking 25+ weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks, and charted for over 329 weeks worldwide, ranking #1 in Spain and dominating Latin airwaves everywhere. Fun fact: It was the first Spanish-language music video to air on MTV's Total Request Live!
The iconic music video, with those famous black paint scenes and urban dance moves, revolutionized how Latin music was presented globally. Shakira's belly dancing mixed with reggaeton beats in the Shaketon remix version adds an extra layer of spice to an already caliente track!
What makes this viewing experience special is enjoying it on tube.matrix.rocks, where our personal data isn't being harvested while we groove to these Latin rhythms. That's real digital freedom right there!
Anyone else remember where they were when this hit first came out? And how do you feel about the Shaketon remix compared to the original? Drop your thoughts below!

00:00 Intro 00:42 Sponsor: 100$ free credit for your Linux or Gaming server 01:42 Install process: unnecessarily complex 03:09 Desktop: simple and good, on the surface 06:17 Issues: it's not ChromeOS 07:55 App switching is completely broken 09:45 Interacting with windows is sub-par 10:44 Big UX errors in the Settings app 12:11 The Overview isn't useful 13:39 Who is this thing for? 16:14 Sponsor: Get a device that runs Linux perfectly 17:14 Support the channel
The interface is extremely simple. You have a basic bottom bar with a main menu and search field at the far left, app icons that also serve as a task bar in the middle, and a calendar and system menu on the right. If you have something playing in an app, you also get a media indicator next to the calendar to let you control playback.
You can't change anything apart from the wallpaper and the position of that task bar: bottom, left or right, no top option. You also have a dark mode.
You have touchpad gestures, with a 3 finger swipe up to display an overview of all your windows and virtual desktops, and 4 finger swipes left or right to switch between desktops.
Windows use the windows button layout, on the right hand side, wit minimize, maximize and close, plus a menu to interact with the window.
You can run any webapp from the CHrome Web store, which has a lot of stuff, you can add any website as a shortcut that will appear in the main menu and be usable as an app, or you can enable the Linux development environment from the settings.
It gives you a Debian container, with access to basic repos, but you can install faltpak, add flathub, and run anything you'd like, although since it's a container, some stuff won't work, like OBS for example
The problems:
First, the killer feature for ChromeOS is that it has its own Android container that runs any Android app really well. CHrome OS Flex can't do that. It doesn't have access to Android apps, which is a big bummer.
Then, we have more factual, UX based problems, like the window inconsistencies. Chrome OS uses web apps and passes them for desktop applications. The problem is, not all apps are treated in the same way. Opening youtube, or the file manager brings a window that looks like an application: short title bar, and standard controls. But if I open Google drive, then I get a browser window with a URL bar, tabs and a different title bar. Then, if I open Google sheets, I don't get a separate application window, it opens in a tab inside of the Google drive window, so I don't get an app icon in the task bar.
It's completely illegible: you never know what to expect when opening an application, where it's going to open, where your tab or window is, and if it's been minimized by another application.
Then you have that horrible visual aid when resizing a window: as your mouse pointer gets towards a window's side, you get this black bar that appears around that side.
Moving windows around sucks. See, the theme is either completely white, or dark. The title bar merges with the header or toolbar. Except you can only drag a window from its titlebar, and you don't know exactly where it starts or ends, because the title bar doesn't show a window title, just buttons. And you can't press Super or Alt while dragging anywhere on the window to move it either.
The settings are all displayed in a single page, with a sidebar. CLicking the sidebar moves you to the relevant section of that single settings page. Moves you, not scrolls you, so you don't immediately realize it's a single page. If you scroll yourself, the sidebar selected item doesn't change. So the sidebar is now telling me I'm in the Accessibility settings, when I'm looking at the network settings. Pretty bad design.
And then the overview. It lists all your open windows, pretty useful. But ChromeOS doesn't know what is a window or not, so no, I don't see all my windows, I see all individual apps, and then a Chrome window with multiple tabs that should be separate apps.
