BRICS youth seminars strengthen Global South themes across Brasilโ€™s five regions infobrics.org/post/47147/

Welcome to a new privacy-first initiative challenging the digital identity status quo, urging a sharp turn away from the surveillance-ready infrastructure embedded in mobile driverโ€™s licenses.

The campaign, called No Phone Home, brings together a broad alliance of civil liberties groups, privacy experts, technologists, lawmakers, and public officials who are resisting the ways digital IDs compromise peopleโ€™s rights.

Whatโ€™s fueling the campaign is concern over how mobile driverโ€™s licenses, increasingly adopted in the US and abroad, are built atop a technical framework that allows them to silently transmit data back to issuing authorities. While this function may not be active by default, it exists; and that, privacy advocates argue, is a serious vulnerability.

Even if unused, if the architecture allows for data to be sent back to government servers, it eventually will be the campaignโ€™s statement warns.

My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows for Ubuntu to see how it goes


There are more than a billion PCs in use and, according to StatCounter, only 71 percent of them run Windows. Among the rest, about 4 percent run Linux. That's tens of millions of people with Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, etc as their desktop operating system. I envy them.

Windows 11 has become more annoying lately as it shoves ads for XBox Game Pass in my face, pushes AI features no one asked for and demands that I reconsider the choices I made during installation on a regular basis. Plus, it just isn't that attractive.

I'm ready to try joining that industrious four percent and installing Linux on my computers to use as my main OS, at least for a week. I'll blog about the experience here.

It's hard to give up Windows forever because so many applications only run in Microsoft's OS. For example, the peripheral software that runs with many keyboards and mice isn't available for Linux. Lots of games will not run under Linux. So I think it's likely I'll be using Windows again, at least some of the time, after this week is through.

However, for now, I'm going to give Linux a very serious audition and document the experience.

Arch user looks for ease of mind


Whelp, here I am. Been an Arch user for over 10 years now, and to this date I love it. But something is bothering me lately. Almost two years ago I jumped ship and completely switched to Wayland (using Plasma first, then Sway). I tasted modernism with all its features and it was sweet. But those last two years were a timeframe where I had to troubleshoot quite a lot compared to before where I used XFCE which was a very stable and reliant experience.

I am at a stage in my life where I do not have the time, nor the energy anymore to troubleshoot problems on a regular basis. I am now almost afraid of installing updates, because something new could fail again.
But I cannot go back anymore. Wayland is too sweet.

So although I still love Arch, maybe it is time for me to look for something else which gives me more ease-of-mind. I am specifically looking at immutable distros now since the concept seems to be exactly what I am looking for (stable, low maintenance, up-to-date packages, easy rollback). But I am a bit lost with the options and hope that you can help me with some recommendations.

  • I mainly browse the web, watch movies, game, do some scripting and run qemu VMs
  • I am comfortable with the terminal
  • I don't do fancy customizations
  • I don't like GNOME
    Distributions that I find interesting so far:
  • Aurora
  • Bazzite
  • NixOS

I am still trying to wrap my head around what the differences between NixOS and the other two are. Afaik, with Nix you can configure your system once (including what packages you want to use), save this configuration in a file, and load it up whenever I need to set it up again. And it seems to have the same concept of updates, such that you can easily roll back if needed.
But it seems to be aimed more at professional users and that I might overshoot at what I was aiming for.
So for someone who likes to setup a system once and then just wants to use it indefinitely without too much maintenance what would your recommendation/advice/critisism regarding my situation be?

Edit: thank you guys so much for all your recommendations and thoughts!
After some further analysis I decided to install Bazzite for the following reasons:

  • shares a lot of similarities with other Atomic distros
  • but has all the nice gaming related things pre-installed and configured and it uses a properly pre-installed Steam (not the Flatpak version) (the main reason why I chose it over Aurora, which would have been my next best pick)
  • my qemu virtual machines run perfectly fine (also the shared folder)
  • some dev stuff already pre-installed (don't think I need more than there already is)
  • fast and the OS feels like made out of one block, very consistent
  • I was ready to use my machine like I want to in basically no time
  • I already love the atomic way of handling updates
  • so far no issues

The only thing left for me to do is to figure out how to properly install SyncThing and Zerotier-One, then I am absolutely set.

Noooo that's a terrible idea ๐Ÿ˜ญ

If six months from now you decide that you do need updates, Arch won't like the accumulated six months of updates coming all at once and might throw a tantrum.

Also not updating is a bad idea in general, you do need security updates for stuff like your browser. Please don't use an out of date system. If you want, install something like debian which will give you only critical updates that won't break stuff until the next release.

Military Activity Along I-90 Westbound Towards i-405 Southbound 6pm June 4th 2025


Was curious if anybody knows what the military convoy along I-90 westbound past Bellevue towards I-405 Southbound? Lots of weird armored vehicles that had four large tires on each side instead of tracks, also asphalt paving equipment. Made it impossible to get from Bellevue to I-5 because they wouldn't let me in to get to the other side of the freeway.

Do they? I am sorry but I do not believe that and I feel that this child has been abused by those that have used her to push their propaganda. She is simply a tool. She is spouting dumb rhetoric that I grew tired of 30 years ago although then it was the Amazon rather than the car etc. but it was the same tactics and comments "If you do not do as I say the world will end in 5 years". The world did not end. Have you bought an electric car yet? Do you actually believe you will save the world in doing so? They produce more CO2 in their lifespan than an ICE car but that is not their point, they are throw away and they get the public to finally stop cutting down on pollution by buying things that last and buy cars that you throw away after 8 years. If people buy a new car every 8 years rather than every 30 profits soar. The ultimate in pollution. The world is much cleaner today than it was 30 years ago but that has nothing to do with people like her. It is because of normal people who do not shout at you. The earth will continue to get cleaner if we continue as we have but those abusing her want us to spend more to make them richer and stop caring about the planet. We can buy an electric car and believe we are saving the planet even though we are in fact increasing the pollution by 400%.

Heute meldet die Tagesschau die RIAS Zahlen und titelt:

Leider tut RIAS alles dafรผr um so intransparent wie mรถglich zu sein, packt alles mรถgliche in ihre Begrifflichkeiten rein und zรคhlt das selbe Ereignis mehrfach (zb mehrere Anzeigen von den selben oder gleichen Sticker).
So gut das Ansinnen mit RIAS auch war, die Zahlen als Fakten gemeldet, sind reichlich wertlos.

In der oben verlinkten Studie kann man zahlreiche Beispiele nachlesen, aus den deutlich wird, welche Probleme deren Begrifflichkeiten haben, welche Schlagseite deren Arbeit hat, wie systematisch historische Fakten verzerrt werden, und internationales Recht geleugnet wird um zur gewรผnschten Interpretation zu bekommen.
Die fehlende Systematik, was, wann und wie gezรคhlt wird macht die Zahlen reichlich unklar, und kaum nachprรผfbar.

Israel versucht momentan รผberall Zeit zu schinden, damit sie ihre Mission, Palรคstina palรคstinenserfrei zu kriegen, vollenden kรถnnen, bevor ihnen einer auf die Fรผsse tritt oder dem Massenmord endlich Einhalt gebietet.
Weiss nicht, aber langsam wรคren Waffenlieferungen an die Palรคstinenser, die Unterdrรผckten, notwendig. Existenznotwendig.
In der Ukraine machen wir das schon seit 3 Jahren, in Palรคstina schauen wir nur zu und fragen uns, was Israel als nรคchstes als antisemitisch bezeichnet.

My doctorโ€™s office just asked me if I consented to an AI scribe taking session notes. (Obviously I said absolutely not and over my dead body).

I am physically incapable of minding my own business so I asked for details. They confirmed that means the rooms are capable of recording now, but assured me that it is โ€œcompletely deletedโ€ in a โ€œtimely fashionโ€.

Iโ€™m with One Medical. So that means the steward of that data is AMAZON.
