Des soldats israéliens ont fait irruption dans une maison d’un village de #Cisjordanie. Un soldat a tiré quatre coups de feu sur un jeune homme qui dormait dans son lit. Les soldats ont emporté le corps et ont fait sortir le tireur, et le frère de la victime les a entendus demander à leur camarade : « Pourquoi tu as tiré ? »
« Pourquoi tu as tiré ? », a-t-on entendu les soldats demander à leur camarade, qui venait de tirer quatre balles dans une chambre obscure sur un jeune homme de 20 ans qui n’avait probablement même pas eu le temps de se réveiller.
« Pourquoi a-t-il tiré ? », demande le père du défunt. Le père dormait, mais il s’est réveillé en sursaut en entendant les soldats faire irruption dans la maison, immédiatement suivis par les coups de feu dans la chambre de son fils. Les soldats ne l’ont pas laissé s’approcher, mais il dit avoir vu son fils allongé sur le dos, le sang jaillissant de son épaule et de sa poitrine.
Pourquoi le soldat a-t-il tiré sur un jeune homme innocent dans son lit ? Cette question a également été posée cette semaine au porte-parole de l’armée israélienne. La réponse : « L’incident fait l’objet d’une enquête. » L’exécution de sang-froid d’un jeune homme dans son lit – et « l’incident fait l’objet d’une enquête » ? Bien sûr, nous n’entendrons rien sur les résultats de l’enquête dans un avenir proche, si tant est qu’il y en ait. Mais aux premières heures du mercredi 28 mai, un soldat a pris la vie d’une personne de son âge sans raison apparente. Juste comme ça, comme si ce n’était rien.
Les soldats ont enfoncé la porte métallique de la maison – les dégâts sont encore visibles. Pourquoi, pour commencer, ont-ils fait irruption dans cette maison et réveillé tout le monde en pleine nuit ? Personne dans la famille élargie qui vit dans cette maison à deux étages n’était « recherché ». De plus, la victime, Jassem al-Sidda, n’avait jamais été arrêtée. Le village de Jit, dans le nord de la Cisjordanie, est connu pour le fait que beaucoup de ses habitants, dont Jassem, travaillent dans les colonies – mais cela n’a bien sûr pas empêché les colons de se déchaîner là-bas en août dernier, perpétrant un pogrom au cours duquel un villageois a été tué.

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/
Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student.

Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.
Marche mondiale pour Gaza, départ des caravanes de Tunisie et d’Algérie

Palestine. Deuxième phase de la levée du siège israélien : un autre convoi quitte la Tunisie pour Gaza !
resumenlatinoamericano.org - 9 de junio de 2025
Les volontaires arabes ont quitté la #Tunisie pour #Gaza dans une caravane.
Une journaliste britannique rapporte qu'environ 1 000 Tunisiens ont entamé la deuxième phase de la levée du blocus israélien de la bande de Gaza.
« Environ 1.000 Tunisiens, en majorité des jeunes, participent à partir de ce lundi au « convoi Al-Soumoud », en direction de la Tunisie vers la frontière égypto-palestinienne », a averti Vanessa #Beeley dans un message sur son compte X.
Elle a souligné que l'objectif du groupe est de tenter de briser le siège imposé par Israël aux Palestiniens de Gaza depuis mars dernier.
Les organisateurs de cette campagne ont appelé les citoyens algériens et libyens à prendre part à l'accueil des participants lors du passage de ce convoi sur leurs territoires. "Ce convoi terrestre, qui rassemble des volontaires algériens, tunisiens et libyens, n'est pas la seule initiative", a-t-elle souligné.
Un porte-parole du convoi, Wael Naouar, a déclaré que « des partisans de la cause palestinienne de 32 autres pays devraient arriver par avion à l'aéroport international du Caire » en soutien aux Palestiniens de Gaza et à la rupture du siège israélien de l'enclave côtière.
Cette mobilisation pour mettre fin aux crimes d'Israël à Gaza intervient après l'attaque par Israël du navire d'aide humanitaire, le « Madleen », qui se dirigeait vers Gaza.
Le « Madleen », l’un des navires appartenant à la Coalition de la Flottille de la Liberté (FFC), a commencé à naviguer le 1er juin depuis le port de Catane, dans le sud de l’Italie, vers la bande de Gaza, dans un geste symbolique visant à briser le siège imposé par le régime sioniste à plus de 2 millions de Palestiniens vivant dans l’enclave palestinienne, dévastée et assiégée à la suite de 20 mois de guerre génocidaire.

Chinese exports to US fall most since 2020 despite trade truce.
This outcome was entirely predictable. The US launched a trade war against virtually the entire world. China, conversely, is fighting a trade war solely against the US. Naturally, China has abundant opportunities to redirect trade away from the US and towards the very nations the US is simultaneously attacking economically.

En Haute mer, le droit maritime coutumier s’applique, qu’ #Israël ait ratifié ou non la Convention de Montego Bay sur le droit de la mer.
D’ailleurs, les 🇺🇸 ou la 🇹🇷 ne l’ont pas fait non plus.
Mais la mer, ce n’est pas le Far West!
. Deux principes fondamentaux s’appliquent en Haute mer (des principes coutumiers, codifiés dans la Convention de Montego Bay) :
🌊 La liberté de navigation (art. 87).
⛵️La Juridiction exclusive de l’État du pavillon (art. 92 et 97)
4. Un État ne peut intercepter un navire étranger en Haute mer que dans des cas exceptionnels :
🏴☠️ Piraterie.
🧪Trafic illicite.
🏴 Navire sans pavillon.
❌ Blocus licite, proportionné, et respectueux du Droit international.
👉 Aucune de ces conditions n’est remplie ici.
5. Dans ce cas, 🇮🇱 invoque le blocus de Gaza. Mais c’est illegal car :
❌Gaza est un territoire occupé illegalement.
❌Ce blocus est un élément d’une politique criminelle visant à entraver l’aide humanitaire.
Ce n’est pas moi qui le dit, c’est la justice internationale! ⚖️
6.🔹 Gaza est un territoire occupé illégalement.
✔️ @CIJ_ICJ , avis de 2004 & 2024 : malgré le retrait de 2005, Israël exerce un contrôle effectif et donc une occupation prolongée & illégale.
➡️ Le blocus fait partie intégrante de cette occupation illégale.
7. 🔹 Le blocus contribue au risque de genocide / genocide.
✔️ @CIJ_ICJ : ordonnances de janv., mars & mai 2024 (affaire 🇿🇦 c. 🇮🇱) :
• Risque plausible de génocide
• Obligation de garantir l’aide humanitaire.
➡️ L’arraisonnement de @GazaFFlotilla viole ces décisions.
8.🔹 Le blocus total de #Gaza constitue un #crime international.
✔️ En novembre 2024, la @CourPenaleInt a lancé des mandats d’arrêt contre #Netanyahu et #Gallant notamment pour la #famine et l’entrave à l’aide humanitaire comme crime de guerre et crimes contre l’humanité.
9. 📌 En droit international humanitaire :
✅ L’aide humanitaire doit être autorisée et facilitée.
❌ La famine comme méthode de guerre est interdite.
👉 Le #Madleen, navire civil et humanitaire battant pavillon 🇬🇧 est protégé par le droit international et le droit britannique.
10. La @CourPenaleInt a déjà jugé que l’arraisonnement du⛵️Mavi Marmara 🇰🇲 (9 civils tués par 🇮🇱) pouvait constituer un crime de guerre.
L’affaire a été classée par la Proc. Bensouda pour “gravité insuffisante”, mais PAS pour absence de compétence.👇
11. Le Madleen (@GazaFFlotilla) agit donc dans le respect du droit international :
✔️ De la mer (navigation pacifique, pavillon 🇬🇧)
✔️ Du droit humanitaire (aide humanitaire).
✔️ des ordonances de la @CIJ_ICJ (risque de génocide).
➡️ Son action est légale, légitime, protégée.
12. Au contraire, en agissant de la sorte, Israël viole :
❌ Le droit de la mer
❌ Le droit international humanitaire
❌ Les ordonnances de la @CIJ_ICJ.
🔎 Cet acte constitue une preuve supplémentaire pour le dossier du Procureur de la CPI. 🗃️
13. Six Français étaient à bord du navire, dont la députée européenne @RimaHas.
🇫🇷 La France protège ses ressortissants.
🇬🇧Le Royaume-Uni doit défend son pavillon.
🇪🇺L’Union européenne protège ses représentants.
14. L’arraisonnement du Madleen n’est pas un incident isolé.
C’est un nouveau test pour le respect et la mise en oeuvre du droit international!
L’inaction face a ces violations repetees renforce l’impunité et fragilise le droit international.
15. Comme le souligne parfaitement @FranceskAlbs : Le Madleen est un symbole. Celui de civils qui font appliquer le droit là où les États échouent.
➡️ Ce sont eux, et vous tous, par vos paroles et actions, qui sauvaient le droit international.
16. Même si le navire Madleen avait été intercepté dans les eaux territoriales de Gaza, cela constituerait un acte illégal. Comme expliqué, Gaza est un territoire occupé illégalement, Israël n’y a aucune souveraineté et doit faciliter l’aide humanitaire, pas l’empêcher.
17. Bravo à @BenjaminFiorini pour avoir rappelé avec clarté et pédagogie les principes fondamentaux du droit international. @JURDIasso, une boussole juridique plus que jamais bienvenue dans un environnement saturé de médiocrité et de propagande. ⚖️
Johann Soufi.
19.
Il est maintenant clair, -si confirmation officielle est nécessaire- que Israël emmerde toute la planète.
+ Bafouer le droit international en génocidant un petit peuple est une chose, bafouer le droit international de ceux qui prétendent faire les règles en est une autre.
Faire des règles sans respecter les règles, il va falloir faire la danseuse.
Sans rire; soutenir l’absurde par de la violence pure est une des définitions du nazisme. M’étonnerai que cela soit pérenne.
BP.

The first thing is that Linux is everywhere and already used by professionals all around the world.
I could take the example of Android, which is the most popular smartphone OS in the world, and using a Linux kernel. I could turn to the absolute domination of Linux on the server space.
I could also point to every NAS out there, generally using a Linux kernel, if we look at IoT and small appliances, Linux also dominates the space. But it's not what people intend when talking about an OS. Generally, they mean that the Linux DESKTOP isn't ready for professionals.
The first obvious counter argument is developers. Linux is used by 47% of professional developers. That's higher than the market share of macOS among developers.
If we take the vast majority of people who will interact with a computer, what do they truly need in their day to day job? A web browser, an email client, an office suite, and a usable interface.
On that specific front, Linux has all that's needed. Whether it's KDE for an interface closer to Windows, or GNOME for the simplest thing to use possible, the Linux desktop IS one of the most usable out there.
In terms of web browsers, there's no question, we have them all. For email clients, we do lack Outlook, but the web interface might be enough for most people's needs, and if not, we have awesome clients that can replace Outlook: Evolution and Thunderbird.
LibreOffice might be a great option for a lot of people, but it does have some problems, let's face it. But LibreOffice isn't our only choice. For perfect compatibility, we have access to SoftMaker Office, now called FreeOffice, or to WPS Office.
Now, for media creation, Linux lacks all the Adobe programs. But that doesn't mean we don't have tools either. Davinci Resolve is a tool used by professionals and hollywood studios to edit videos, edit audio, and create virtual effects. It basically does what Audition, After Effects and Premiere do, in one single package. it's available on Linux.
We have Blender for VFX. Houdini, a tool used by VFX artists for simulations? It's on Linux.
Maya? It's on Linux. Studio One, a professional DIgital Audio Workstation, just released a beta for Linux. We have inkscape, Ardour, Krita - one of the most popular digital drawing apps- OBS, PDF Studio for editing PDF documents, Bitwig, and a lot more.
Whether you like AI or not, it's happening. And AI is a professional domain in which Linux is the standard.
And that's the tip of the iceberg. Cybersecurity professionals mostly use Linux. Almost 100% of supercomputers used for any specific domain run Linux. The whole space industry runs on Linux. A bunch of military sytems run Linux.
The market share of Linux on the desktop is low, there's no denying that: it's listed at barely 3%, far below macOS or Windows. But this doesn't include another system: Chrome OS. And chrome OS has 3.9% market share on the desktop. Combined with non Chrome OS Linux ssytems, taht's almost 7%. it's still lower than proprietary OSes, but that's a LOT of computers running a Linux system.
Now, that doesn't mean Linux is ready for every professional out there. If you absolutely need certain software that's not available, then Linux won't work for you. But I'd argue that it's not necessarily a Linux problem: it has the tools needed to do the same job in most cases. It's just not the tools you're allowed to use, or want to use.

Nice. Now do Netanyahu, the rest of the israeli government, and everyone in the IDF. You know, the folks perpetrating the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Oh, and maybe stop running surveillance flights to help israel commit genocide.

one of the PLA’s top generals, Xu Qiliang, suddenly died... "heart attack" - supposedly on June 2 and 12:12 PM.
June = 6

"12:12" has symbolic meaning pointing to a coup in both China and Korea.
Was the official time of death saying he was involved in a coup?

in reply to LandedGentry • • •Now imagine how the parents of Uvalde felt. Police showed up, and not only did nothing, but actively prevented OTHER parents, who were showing up to storm the grounds to shoot the shooter themselves. But the police protected the shooter, causing the deaths of more kids. If memory serves me right, 12 kids had died before parents showed up. And something like 37 died by days end.
Meaning, even if the police did nothing, and allowed the parents to go through, parents would have shot the shooter and saved 25 more kids.
Imagine knowing your kid is dead because police were afraid.
