Il y a un peu plus d'un mois, le #23mars ( #2025), les forces israéliennes ont exécuté 15 travailleurs humanitaires palestiniens, parmi lesquels des ambulanciers du #Croissant-Rouge, des équipes de secours et des membres du personnel de l'ONU. Lors de la même opération, les troupes ont tué au moins 10 #civils, dont cinq #enfants et une #femme. Cependant, des éléments suggèrent que le nombre réel de victimes ce jour-là est nettement plus élevé. 1 - Nouvelles révélations concernant le terrible massacre des #ambulanciers à #Rafah ( #Gaza) ...
In the last months, major advances have moved the 6,800km natural gas pipeline—designed to carry African gas to Europe—off the design table and to the point of actual construction.
If you ever asked yourself why the #Jewish state needs hundreds of #nukes? These are really infective in a local conflict with the indefinite people of the land. The answer is devastatingly simple. They see themselves as a ‘kosher dingy’ surrounded by a ‘sea of #Goyim’.. the Israeli nukes weren’t made for the Palestinians, not even for the Iranians. Their nukes are pluralist, they don’t differentiate between #Dublin, #Tehran or #Amsterdam (that just called for #EU to stop association with Israel) . In their eyes all dissidents to their Old Testament’s driven barbarism deserve the same fate….

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

CHÈRE MADAME HAUTE REPRÉSENTANTE DE L'UE POUR LA POLITIQUE ÉTRANGÈRE KAJA KALLASOVA !
Chère Kaja, j'ai pris note à maintes reprises de vos déclarations à mon allocution concernant la visite d'aujourd'hui à Moscou et la réunion notifiée non seulement avec le Président de la Fédération de #Russie V. Poutine. Apparemment, je ne suis pas du bon côté de l' #histoire ou d'autres considérations géopolitiques profondes similaires.
Tout d'abord, je suis à Moscou pour rendre hommage aux plus de 60 000 soldats de l'armée rouge qui sont morts lors de la libération de la #Slovaquie. Je ne comprends pas clairement ce que ces braves personnes ont en commun avec la situation internationale actuelle.
Deuxièmement, en tant que haut fonctionnaire de la Commission européenne, vous n'avez absolument pas le droit de critiquer le Premier ministre souverain d'un pays souverain, qui a une approche constructive de l'agenda européen dans son ensemble.
Troisièmement, je ne suis pas d'accord avec la #politique du nouveau rideau de fer sur lequel vous travaillez si intensivement.
Pour la quatrième fois, je vous demande comment faire la #diplomatie et la politique étrangère si les politiciens ne sont pas censés se rencontrer et avoir un dialogue normal sur des questions sur lesquelles ils ont des opinions différentes.

Terrifying eh...
"Thomas Renz, a vaccine-skeptic lawyer and supporter of Trump, claims the new policy doesn't end gain-of-function. He says it 'codifies it.'
He told The Daily Pulse: 'They’re going to allow it under new regulations. And by doing that, they’re essentially saying, "We’re fine with gain-of-function as long as it follows the current rules."
'So in that way, they’re actually legitimizing gain-of-function work in this country, which is absolutely mind-blowing to me,' he added."

Anyone paying attention to German politics lately should have a look at this. Beautiful detailed run-down of the latest election for Chancellor -- what should have been a placebo election, a done deal, got turned on its head.
Tuesday's ballot to crown Merz Chancellor failed in the first round because 18 conspirators among the coalition parties withheld their support. Thoughts on this political mystery.

🚨 BREAKING : Les injections d' #ARNm contre la #COVID-19 détruisent plus de 60 % des réserves d'ovules non renouvelables des femmes Une nouvelle étude révèle que des rats ayant reçu une injection intramusculaire de doses d'ARNm équivalentes à celles de l'humain ont subi une perte irréversible de follicules primordiaux, fondement de la fertilité. 👇 📍 > 60 % des follicules primordiaux détruits (p < 0,001) 📍 Les niveaux d'AMH ont chuté — l'hormone clé de la fertilité 📍 Augmentation des follicules atrétiques (mourants) 📍 Marqueurs d'inflammation et d'apoptose enrichis (TGF-β1, VEGF, caspase-3) Cette perte est permanente : les follicules primordiaux ne se régénèrent pas. Si cela s'applique aux humains, cela signifie une #ménopause précoce, une #infertilité et une chute des taux de #natalité. 📉 Manniche et al ont confirmé ce schéma chez l'homme : Les femmes tchèques vaccinées contre la COVID (18 à 39 ans) ont eu environ 33 % de grossesses réussies en moins que les femmes non vaccinées. ⚠️ Les dommages ovariens se produisent probablement parce que les #nanoparticules lipidiques encapsulant l'ARNm ont une préférence particulière pour les ovaires, selon des études de biodistribution. Ces données indiquent que nos agences de "santé publique, en conformité avec le complexe biopharmaceutique, ont compromis la capacité de créer de nouvelles vies à travers le monde, en détruisant les réserves ovariennes. Et elles continuent de le faire.
On pourrait aussi commencer par demander de vrais comptes à Ursula, l'EMA, Macron, l'ANSM, les députés qui imposent d’être injecté au peuple mais pas pour rentrer à l'AN, les "experts" bidon à la télé, radio, internet, avec tout ce beau monde de mon point de vue on a déjà des crimes contre l'humanité. Parce que plus haut, avant les crevures de Bigpharma, on arrive au niveau de l'OMS, de BillGates et ses amis, du ministère de la défense US, de la CIA et de ceux qui la dirigent (c-a-d les maîtres de nos sociétés), et là c'est une autre paire de manche....
demander des comptes aux puissants du moment sans avoir des moyens de leur imposer une vérité dont ils ne veulent pas est chimérique : c'est croire que nous somme dans une Démocratie et que le Peuple reçoit un jugement juste et fidèle.

Mmm.....BigPharma est une émanation de plus haut que les pipolitiques européens du moment. Et cette galaxie (BPh et ceux qui les détiennent) sont prêts à assassiner, (physiquement et/ou économiquement) pour garder leur pouvoir. Cette pseudo-santé est le 1er ou 2e plus gros business au monde (après/avant les armes) et un énorme moyen de manipulation et pouvoir sur tous les peuples naïfs, il suffit d'observer le cas du psychopathe Bill Gates. Quand suffisamment de gens se réveillent (au moins un peu) et refusent quelquechose, comme une immense partie des français qui n'est plus allé se faire injecter sa 3e,4e,5e dose, ces horreurs peuvent s’arrêter. De la même façon que si 1-5 millions de francais exigeaient que macron vire, il virerait.
En fait le seul niveau accessible et pouvant être soumis à la pression d'une partie d'un peuple, ce sont ses dirigeants directs et ses instances de gouvernance, donc macron, ursula, ue, ansm, etc.
Après, effectivement, je suis d'accord avec toi que si on peut les attaquer légalement sur des histoire de fric, de corruption, de contrats, etc, je prend aussi ! Je crois que c'est aussi l'avis de Christine Cotton.

Majora's Mask was delayed, technically. But yeah, Miyamoto's quote hasn't aged very well at all. Usually a game being delayed nowadays is kind of scary.
@beardalaxy I think many of the delayed games suck because they were trying to keep up with the industry trends instead of making a good game.
Duke Nukem Forever is probably the best example. The developers wanted it to be on par with the most advanced games at the time because DN3D was released a month before Quake and looked severely outdated because of it. So they were constantly changing engines and starting from scratch.
Though I haven't played or know the development story about any of the games on the right side of the image, so I don't know what happened with those games.
ok lads i managed to get the new wheels balanced today and about to install them i had to remove and reinstall one of these tires 3 times cause it kept giving me tiny slow leaks on the bead. but i finally nailed it.
i think i need some new locks for these wheels cause i discovered my other locking lugs can be removed just with a 12 point socket. kinda pointless
yea i did put a few little scratches on my rims ugh. but my honda guy balanced them for me for just $10/wheel. so not too bad. trying to save money for building materials not blow it all on car stuff

A new documentary on the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh reveals that Israeli soldiers use her photo for target practice. This exposes the Israeli mentality that journalists are “fair game”, and that the killing of journalists in Gaza is no accident.
The past few months have been among the most violent in the #WestBank, with escalating attacks by #Israel and its #settlers. As a result, we have not had the chance to share until now that our appeal against the ruling in the lawsuit filed by the settler Zvi Bar Yosef has been accepted by the Jerusalem District Court. Links to the original post about Bar Yosef - the subject of the lawsuit - and to our announcement about the appeal are in the comments (please see on X link).
On February 18, #2025, Judge Alexander Ron ruled in our favor, accepting our appeal after the settler, Zvi Bar Yosef, failed to submit a response - even after being granted an extra extension to do so. We do not know what led Bar Yosef to abandon his case at the District Court level, but one can assume he had his reasons. We would like to thank Attorney Carmel Pomerantz for her dedicated and profesional representation, including during the appeal process.
A big thank you to everyone who stepped up and donated after the Magistrate's Court initially ordered us to pay Bar Yosef 40,000 NIS. To support our continued efforts to document settler #violence, land grabs, and the state's role in enabling them, you can donate via paybox, PayPal, or bank transfer.

Insightful article. I have to confess I never realized the accessibility situation was this bad.
I also want to highlight this excerpt from the comments:
Making things accessible isn't hard technically. But it requires coordination and people to care about it enough to work on it at the expense of other features. If [I] developed an application on a team and said I had 'one security guy that works on that stuff as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of our work' I'd be dragged over the coals and have my project forked by the public.
But with accessibility? There's really no sense of priority or urgency despite it being broken for years and not putting much effort in to fixing it.
This is devastating and truly an indictment on the "code it yourself" mentality that is leaving accessibility as an exercise for the user... which is the opposite of accessibility.
Woah their partner, major software developers have been having similar issues with accessibility for decades now. For instance the ability for the blind to deal with Windows if it crashes or errors out is pretty much non-existent.
Please read the article I referenced. Most of their gripes are also issues found in Windows. Also OP's article is clearly written from a constructive criticism point of view that I appreciate. Keeping software accessible is hard work and proprietary software is not some magic bullet.
I think you are taking this all out of context hence why I told you to get off your high horse. Apparently you decided to climb onto an even higher horse instead. You are not echoing anything but your rather alarmist perspective. See below for excerpts about Windows accessability.
"A concrete example of a product that simply cannot be used by the blind, but which is an integral security component used in employment situations, is Microsoft's BitLocker software, which provides full disk encryption. BitLocker requires the user to enter a PIN (personal identification number) before the full Windows operating system is started. While competing full-disk encryption programs have offered the ability to generate an audible tone that can be used to alert the blind user that information needs to be entered, BitLocker offers no such indication. Despite years of repeated entreaties by blind people for Microsoft to fix this problem, we have yet to see a version of BitLocker that addresses this issue. A blind employee who is required to use a computer with Microsoft BitLocker installed will be unable to turn the computer on and get it running—not to mention use it.
Microsoft SharePoint, a program used by many institutions (many of which employ the blind), is not fully accessible to the blind. SharePoint has been found to be so frustrating for the nonvisual user that a third-party vendor believes that it can sell an add-on solution to large enterprises (e.g., state or federal agencies) that costs as much as $12,000 for a single user license. If Microsoft's accessibility effort were working, a product that is as widely used as SharePoint would already be as convenient and effective for the nonvisual user as it is for everyone else.
There does not appear to be any user-experience research being conducted by Microsoft into improving efficiency for keyboard-only users, including the blind. This has already had a negative impact on keyboard-only users of the spell checker in Word 2013, which no longer provides accelerator keys to speed up the selection of options when spelling errors are detected.
Microsoft struggles to implement an API (application program interface) which makes it easier for screen-access software to get information about application states, messages, and controls. Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) and User Interface Automation (UIA), two examples of existing accessibility APIs, have existed within the Windows operating system for many years, but they have apparently not done much to solve the accessibility problem. While I applaud the fact that Microsoft has worked hard to ensure that Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 have worked with updated releases of screen-access software on the day they were released to the public, it must also be recognized that, in order for this to have happened, the screen-access software vendors (very small companies in relation to Microsoft) had to devote considerable resources to make this happen. It would be better if these relatively small companies could spend more time and effort coming up with innovations that improve the efficiency and productivity of blind users of their software.
Unlike its main competitors on desktop and mobile platforms, Microsoft has failed to provide built-in support for refreshable Braille displays to be connected to and used on its various platforms. This is particularly vexing for users who are both deaf and blind for whom refreshable Braille displays are the only way to interact with computer software. The Apple Macintosh and the Apple iPhone support a variety of refreshable Braille displays without requiring the customer to install device-specific drivers, and these products entered the market well after Microsoft began working on accessibility.
The maintenance, setup, and recovery of Microsoft Windows continue to be inaccessible to the blind. Consequently, there is an added cost in time and/or money to the blind user, who has to bring in (and often pay for) sighted assistance to install, upgrade, or repair a Windows system. This situation is unacceptable—especially given the fact that Apple OS X and iOS operating systems incorporate accessibility tools that enable the blind computer user to perform maintenance, upgrade, and recovery tasks without sighted assistance. Moreover, this problem curtails the ability of the blind to accept Windows system support jobs in information technology."
At no point did I even begin to insinuate proprietary code is better. That's you deciding that is what I must mean despite me not mentioning it at all.
This is a really well written article. It's unfortunate that this person has to deal with all these issues.
I suspect the reason that both MATE and the Debian installer have good accessibility support is because their codebases are quite old. In general, it seems like older software is more likely to have better accessibility support than newer software.
Accessibility should be something that's built into software from the very beginning, but I totally understand that not all developers have time for it or properly understand it. It's unfortunate.
Edit: I forgot to mention that accessibility is going to be mandated for some types of sites and apps in the EU thanks to the European Accessibility Act (EAA) coming into effect later this year, which should help somewhat. Won't really help with Linux itself though.
One thing I've had troubles with when trying to implement accessibility is in web dev. There's so many attribute tags and I think a few different software based standards as well? I'm not entirely sure. The documentation on it felt a bit hard to follow and implement. Then I'm not sure how to go about testing it fully either without having those proprietary softwares either. I'm on an all Linux machine and the only accessibility software I know of is Orca and it's so and so last time I tried it.
While I slowly figure that out however I make sure to follow tag recommendations and keep things in sections, only one h1 tag per page, descriptive and short alt tags, and so forth. At least that helps a tiny bit.
Web is a bit easier than native since the browsers handle all the platform-specific details across all common platforms, and you mostly just have to follow some guidelines that aren't overly technical or arcane. Some examples: - Use ARIA roles where appropriate - Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colours. Should at least meet the WCAG level AA which is a 4.5:1 contrast ratio, but ideally meet AAA which is a 7:1 ratio for body text and a 4.5:1 ratio for headings. - Ensure you use <label> tags for all your <input>s, alt attributes on all images, title attributes where appropriate (e.g. on <table>s to describe the data contained inside the table), etc.
If you use Firefox, its developer tools have an "Accessibility" tab that can audit for common issues - things like missing labels on checkboxes and radio buttons, colours that don't meet WCAG contrast ratio requirements, etc.
It's a good time to learn more about building accessible sites and apps given it's becoming a legal requirement in some jurisdictions. For example, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) goes into effect later this year, and it mandates that sites and mobile apps for various industries (like ecommerce, airlines and other transport, media streaming, social media, banks, and some others) meet accessibility guidelines.

It's probably worth spinning up a Windows VM to test in NVDA. It's one of the most popular screen readers and probably the most popular open-source one, but only works on Windows since it deeply hooks into the Microsoft Speech API, accessibility APIs, and and other Windows APIs.
ARIA roles provide semantic meaning to content, allowing screen readers and other tools to present and support interaction with an object in a way that is consistent with user expectations of that type of object.
Last week, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman announced in San Francisco that the World project he co-founded, formerly known as Worldcoin, is opening six stores across the United States, allowing users of the project's app to scan their eyeballs.
Russia destroyed more than 40,000 German tanks from June 1941 to November 1944. By the time the Allies came ashore at Normandy, the Germans had already lost the war, writes Scott Ritter. Larry Wilkerson responds.
Yesterday my boy turned 22. Today he graduated magna cum laude from college. With a BS in electrical engineering with high honors and a second bs in computer science. He did this in 4 years but it required taking 18 credit semesters and some summer classes. He wanted double the usual bs When he graduated from HS he wore my shoes to the ceremony and today I was quite surprised to see that he grabbed my shoes, when he was home last weekend to wear again, though he had his own suitable ones....
Menachem Begin: Our race is the Master Race. We Jews are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.

Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.

Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

I compiled it a few months ago and was fairly impressed. I really hope we see another major browser engine rise in the same way Firefox/Gecko did in the early to mid-2000s, before Mozilla sacrificed all their values and destroyed their userbase.
Edit: I was able to recover my partitions by creating new partition starting and ending from same exact sectors.
I was copying files from my previous installation to my new Gentoo installation. After I was done. I ran wipefs on /dev/nvme0n1 thinking it is my old nvme drive which is connected through usb. I am in disbelief. Lost all of my configuration files. My perfect installation of gentoo. Just gone. How do I never make such mistake again? Thankfully I had backup of passwords file. Rest is gone. I am sad.
I have nothing to offer but some sympathy and one advice: I have two critical backups running: my personal files and the various folders containing my config files.
As I learned more or less the exact same way you just did how critical it is to backup those files too as, losing them by formatting my drive, I instantly realized they're as personal as my 'real' files are.
I've recovered my boot partition but my other partition was formatted with luks. The boot partition is working and not throwing any errors. How can I restore the luksheader? Is it even possible?
Guys, I managed to recover my partitions. I used test disk to write the detected efi partition which was of 500MiB. The gpt partition table backup uses 33 sectors to I created second partition starting from where the previous ended to totalsectors-33. I was able to luksDump the header after this and successfully decrypt and mount my device. I had to grub-install and now my system is up and running. Thank you so much everyone for their help and their kind words.

Covid Vaccine Genocide Update… Recipients of the ‘Covid Vaccine’ Pfizer Batch beginning with an ‘E’ (Excess Death Risk) were given batches that were the most lethal. EL0140, EL9261, EL3248, EN9581, EJ1686, EK4176, EK5730, EH9899.
i had to remove and reinstall one of these tires 3 times cause it kept giving me tiny slow leaks on the bead. but i finally nailed it.
