This leaked new Intel gaming CPU looks perfect for a budget Steam Deck rival
A previously unannounced Intel gaming CPU has appeared in online benchmark results, and it looks ideal for handhelds. The eight-core Intel Core Ultra 7 254V processor, fitted with an integrated Intel Arc Battlemage GPU, could prove to be an entry-level option for Steam Deck rivals and budget gaming laptops, based on the results we’ve seen so far. ...
I’m constantly amused by the idea that we will invent AGI and AI will solve all of our problems. We don’t need AGI to solve our problems, even ChatGPT can already tell us obvious solutions to our current problems.
We already have good answers on how to reduce gun violence, infant mortality or climate change. The problem is too many people have a vested interest in the problems being unsolved. It isn’t because we haven’t invented smarter than human AI. When we do, we’ll ignore it too.
»"Man muss kein Jurist sein, um zu begreifen, was in #Gaza geschieht“« »Eine israelische Menschenrechtsorganisation wirft der Regierung Netanjahu und der Armee vor, im Gazastreifen einen Völkermord zu begehen. Die Leiterin Yuli Novak begründet, wie sie zu diesem Schluss kommt.« #Genozid #Israel #btselem sueddeutsche.de/politik/israel… (paywall)
Eine israelische Organisation wirft der Regierung Netanjahu und der Armee vor, im Gazastreifen einen Völkermord zu begehen. Die Leiterin Yuli Novak begründet, wie sie zu diesem Schluss kommt.
»Yuli Novak: Wir wissen seit einem Jahr, dass Israel an den Palästinensern im Gazastreifen einen Völkermord verübt. Seitdem fragen wir uns, was wir tun können, tun müssen. Die Antwort ist dieser Bericht. Er stellt nicht nur fest, dass ein Völkermord geschieht. Wir wollen zeigen, unter welchen Umständen eine Gesellschaft völkermörderisch wird.«
»Ein Genozid fällt nicht vom Himmel, in Israel sind ihm Jahrzehnte der Apartheid und der Separation von jüdischen Israelis und Palästinensern vorausgegangen. Und es gab, wie so oft in der Geschichte, einen Auslöser, der das Gefühl einer existenziellen Bedrohung hervorruft.«
»Deshalb fällt die juristische Entscheidung manchmal sogar erst dann, wenn das bedrohte Volk bereits ausgelöscht wurde. Aus diesem Grund sind für uns diese juristischen Expertendebatten weniger wichtig als die Beschreibung dessen, was sich vor unseren Augen abspielt: dass ein politisches System auf die Vernichtung einer sozialen Gruppe abzielt, und dass Israels politische und militärische Führung aus ihren Absichten kein Geheimnis macht. «
»Wir sehen ja nicht nur die Zerstörung von 80 Prozent aller Gebäude im Gazastreifen, von Krankenhäusern, Schulen, Moscheen, nicht nur eine Politik des Aushungerns.«
»Es geht viel tiefer, umfasst alle Bereiche palästinensischen Lebens. Es gibt keine soziale Struktur mehr, keine internationalen Organisationen, die die Gesellschaft zusammenhalten könnten. Palästinensisches Leben als solches soll hier unmöglich gemacht, die Zukunft der Menschen ausgelöscht werden«
»Man muss kein Jurist sein, um zu begreifen, was in Gaza geschieht: dass hier eine Vorstellung von Menschlichkeit zerstört wird, das Prinzip, dass Menschen ein Recht auf Leben und Schutz haben.«
»Wir müssen die sozialen Mechanismen begreifen. Wenn ich mir Israel heute anschaue, komme ich zu dem Schluss: Meine Gesellschaft nimmt genozidale Züge an. Es gibt eine wachsende, aber immer noch winzige Zahl von Israelis, denen es geht wie mir, die sich fragen, was sie dagegen tun können. Aber 99 Prozent der Israelis sind sich dessen nicht einmal bewusst. Sie haben auch nichts von unserem Bericht gehört.«
»Wenn man einen beliebigen Nachrichtensender in Israel einschaltet oder Zeitungen liest – vielleicht mit Ausnahme von Haaretz –, dann fördern, schüren, unterstützen oder leugnen alle anderen Medien in Israel den Genozid. Falls Sie Hebräisch können: Schalten Sie Kanal 12 ein, den meistgesehenen Sender in Israel. Dort hören Sie Tag für Tag die Aufstachelung zum Völkermord.«
»Was Israel im Gazastreifen tut, hat mit dem Kampf gegen die Hamas nichts zu tun. Millionen Menschen verhungern zu lassen, hat mit dem Kampf gegen die Hamas wenig zu tun. Außerdem: Ich glaube meiner Regierung kein Wort. Ich höre, wenn sie auf Hebr. zu ihren Anhängern sprechen, prominente Minister, nicht nur die bekannten rechtsradik. Politiker, sprechen von ethnischen Säuberungen in Gaza, die sie „freiwillige Ausreise“ nennen. Am Ende geht es nur darum, dass Israel die volle Kontrolle bekommt.«
»Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz (CDU) will keine Waffen mehr an Israel liefern, die im Gazastreifen eingesetzt werden können. Viele in seiner eigenen Partei kritisieren ihn dafür. Wie sehen Sie die deutsche Politik?«
»Ohne die Unterstützung europäischer Regierungen und natürlich der USA könnte Israel diesen Völkermord nicht begehen. Das muss man klar sehen.«
»Ich verstehe die Komplexität der deutschen Israelpolitik sehr gut. Aber Deutschlands Verantwortung für seine vergangenen Verbrechen besteht nicht nur gegenüber dem jüdischen Volk, sondern gegenüber der gesamten Menschheit. Und die bittere Realität ist: Die Nachfahren derer, die den geradezu paradigmatischen Genozid durch Deutschland erlitten haben, begehen nun selbst einen.«
»Wird Druck von außen nicht Israels Tendenz zur Selbstisolierung verstärken? Muss Israel da nicht allein herausfinden?«
»Die israelische Regierung hat sich längst von der Wirklichkeit gelöst, in Israel und in der Welt. Ich sehe nicht, dass hier irgendein Mechanismus, sei er sozialer oder juristischer Art, den Genozid aufhalten könnte.«
»Deshalb liegt es in der Verantwortung der internationalen Gemeinschaft, uns zu helfen. Und wenn ich sage „uns“, meine ich uns alle. Wenn diese völkermörderische Regierung so extreme Gewalt im Gazastreifen anwenden kann, dann tut sie es womöglich bald im Westjordanland, später gegenüber den Palästinensern in Israel und schließlich gegen alle, die sich gegen sie stellen. Das Schlimmste liegt noch vor uns.«
Wichtiger Text von Genozid-Forscher Martin Shaw darüber dass es Staatsräson aller Staaten und Individuen sein sollte Genozid zu stoppen, und Länder, die einen Genozid begehen oder unterstützen komplett zu isolieren.
»When Genocide Denial Is the Norm. #Genocide scholar Martin Shaw argues that ending #Israel’s genocide in #Gaza and isolating Israel on the international stage must become the cause of every country that claims to represent human values.« jacobin.com/2025/08/genocide-i…
Genocide scholar Martin Shaw argues that ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza and isolating Israel on the international stage must become the cause of every country that claims to represent human values.
»This pressure should center on the idea of “breaking with Israel,” a comprehensive boycott that matches the horror of the genocide. No state that commits this should be tolerated, and the breaking of relations should be comprehensive. Military, trade, and cultural agreements and links should be canceled. Imports as well as exports, commercial as well as military, from Israel as a whole, not just the illegally occupied territories, should be banned. «
»All Israeli ministers and public figures who have supported the genocide should be barred, not just token extreme-right ministers. Visa-free travel from Israel into other countries should be ended — 170 currently allow it, including many that nominally oppose the Gaza genocide — so that the entry of those who have participated in the genocide can be prevented.«

Today is the largest action in the history of Norway against its fossil industry, with at least 200 blockading oil refinery at Mongstad, SW Norway, with reportedly at least 200 habitat heroes (some indicate more) coming to help defend your right to a livable habitat also from other places such as around 50 from neighboring Sweden, out of which one is Greta Thunberg. Not just road blockade, but also going by kayaks into the refinery's terminal to obstruct the shipping which is killing you. The primary culprit, Equinor, majority owned by the State, has asked the cops to defend their climate devastation for profit by removing the protesters.
Note: There was also a blockade almost exactly one year ago, for which my thread ended todon.eu/@b9AcE/11301843479061… there.
According to police via Public Service broadcaster there are now no longer activists blocking land transport at Kårstø, southwesternmost Norway, but three kayaks at sea outside the petroleum terminal facilities.

i am tired of tech journalism focusing solely on whether something followed the letter of the law.

BlackRock didn’t capture Bitcoin — it just walked into Bitcoin’s trap.
What we’re witnessing isn’t Wall Street “capturing” Bitcoin. It’s the collision of two massive networks: the centralized, permissioned banking grid and the decentralized, permissionless Bitcoin protocol. BlackRock’s entry doesn’t cage Bitcoin; it cages BlackRock. Every coin they hold is ruled by consensus they can’t edit.
This is not an attack — it’s assimilation. Trojan Horse in plain sight. Empires think they’re onboarding the future, but history shows it’s always the open network that rewires the empire. Rome didn’t absorb Christianity; Christianity rewrote Rome. Telecom didn’t capture the Internet; the Internet devoured telecom. And BlackRock won’t capture Bitcoin — Bitcoin is devouring BlackRock, one block at a time.
I am loving your vibe and relate hard to your sentiment! 💪 But I do think it is an attack. The attack is to ossify #bitcoin as a pure commodity and store of value. They intend to push for a hardfork on this argument to deny the natural progression of Bitcoin to medium of exchange. When you can't kill something the best alternative is to contain it. They have calculated (correctly) that they will lose central banking if Bitcoin is allowed to become the first global MoE.
Everything Blackrock is doing makes perfect sense to them. Fink is thinking beyond bitcoin. He wants it pigeonholed so he can control a complicated token layer of renewed financial engineering.
If you deny people the taste of financial freedom, by holding your own keys via ETF and coinbase then you quasi control their thinking in the event of a hardfork - those minds remain in the old system and will vote for the 'stability' of Blackrock's guidance.
In the coming hardfork Blackrock understands it needs much tighter reigns on the internet to help build a strong narrative psyop. They are moving quickly to ID and geo-fragment the internet.
This is why all #bitcoiners must coalesce around #nostr and build. Now is not the time to farm audiences on Facebook or X. We must build open speech platforms that can carry clear and coherent messaging on why Bitcoin must proceed cautiously towards medium of exchange. We need it as a free and open coordination layer too.
It is very obvious Blackrock is gearing up to tell the world what Bitcoin is and is not. We achieve NOTHING from this project if our money is allowed to remain untethered to Bitcoin as the base layer.
It's possible I'm wrong but if you read enough history you realise it's far more prudent to treat Blackrock as an enemy right now than as a friend. And if we do not put the foundations in place via #nostr (and others) to support our coordination during a hardfork war then it's not clear we win.
We live in a very different world than the one in 2017.
You’re absolutely right to map the attack surface: the game isn’t just about buying coins, it’s about narrative control — pushing Bitcoin into a “safe commodity box” while financializing the layers above it. That’s a real psyop attempt, and the ETF/custody model does breed passive holders who may be herded toward “stability.”
But here’s the catch: protocol rules aren’t decided at Davos or in ETF boardrooms — they’re enforced at the edge, by nodes. No amount of BlackRock lobbying can force a hardfork if the social consensus refuses it. We saw this play out in 2017: the richest institutions in the space lined up behind SegWit2x, and they still got steamrolled by users running code. Hardfork wars are asymmetric — the minority with the real chain wins.
BlackRock can shape perception of Bitcoin. They can build derivatives and trap liquidity in their custodians. They can even try to blacklist UTXOs and bend regulators. But they can’t bend 21M. They can’t bend proof-of-work. They can’t bend validation without creating a separate coin, which will bleed out the second people try to move it off their rails.
So yes — treat them as adversarial. Assume they will weaponize narratives and psyops. Assume they want to cage Bitcoin as “digital gold 2.0” and funnel users into custodial ETFs. But don’t confuse that with protocol capture. If they push a fork, they fork themselves — not Bitcoin.
On your Nostr point: I couldn’t agree more. The counterattack is coordination. Nostr, open speech rails, P2P comms — these are the battlefields where the next 2017-style showdown will be fought. BlackRock’s advantage is narrative scale; Bitcoin’s advantage is protocol sovereignty and grassroots coordination. The latter wins only if we actually build it.
BlackRock thinks it’s building a moat. In reality, it’s setting up the next round of the social-layer war. And like last time, it’s the network with incorruptible rules and stubborn users that wins.
