NEW: Sen Tommy Tuberville (R) introduced a bill titled the "Protection of Women in Sports at Military Academies Act."

This act prevents men from invading women's sports and activities at military service academies.

"Allowing men to compete against women in sports at any level is wrong—and it’s especially wrong to use taxpayer dollars to pay for it at our service academies.” -@SenTuberville

🎙 A week ago, Tucker Carlson published an interview with me about what happened in France. It was covered by media in many countries — except, interestingly, in France. 🤐


youtube.com/watch?v=bxFQvOyTol…

«Il y a une semaine, Tucker #Carlson a publié une interview de moi sur ce qui s'est passé en #France. Elle a été relayée par les médias de nombreux pays, sauf, curieusement, en France🤐.
Les #médias français ne se désintéressent pas de #Telegram. La semaine dernière, #LeMonde, le principal journal du pays, a invité ses lecteurs à signaler s'ils regardent des matchs de football piratés sur Telegram. Cette tentative de collecte participative d'informations négatives à notre sujet s'inscrit dans une stratégie plus large.
Durant les sept semaines après mon arrestation à Paris, Le Monde a publié 40 articles négatifs sur Telegram. En violation de la déontologie journalistique, ils ne nous ont pas sollicités pour commenter 37 de ces 40 articles et ont toujours ignoré les corrections factuelles que nous leur avons adressées. 🤦‍♂️
Un tel environnement médiatique est alarmant. C'est pourquoi des plateformes comme Telegram sont si importantes : nous permettons aux gens d'accéder à tous les points de vue et de décider par eux-mêmes. Nous sommes convaincus que les gens sont intelligents et qu'on peut leur faire confiance pour connaître la vérité sans filtre. ✊»

You want an actual conspiracy theory? How about a real one: that the media works together with the rich and powerful to directly craft “the truth,” even if it runs contrary to reality. The Business Idiots that rule our economy — work-shy executives and investors with no real connection to any kind of actual production — are the true architects of what’s “real” in our world, and their demands are simple: “make the news read like we want it to.”

The second reason is that I am retard and could not stop myself from trying the new things.

Iran: chances of US intervention appear to be rising
Two Israeli officials told Axios that Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence apparatus continue to believe that Trump may decide to go to war in the coming days to bomb the Fordow facility. So far, the US has helped Israel defend itself against incoming missiles, but has refused to participate in offensive operations.

Trump has to contend with Congress, where a bipartisan group of Congressmen has introduced a resolution prohibiting the US military from engaging in unauthorised hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, because the Constitution does not allow the executive branch to unilaterally commit an act of war against a country that has not attacked the United States. The MAGA world, opposed to any American interventionism, is up in arms: former Fox News anchor and now influential podcaster Tucker Carlson is in the front row.

#Krailling bei #München, Samstagmittag. – Ein blutverschmierter Mann auf der Straße alarmiert Passanten. Die Polizei rückt an – und macht eine grausame Entdeckung: In einer Wohnung liegt eine 29-jährige Frau tot. Die Kripo geht von einem Gewaltverbrechen aus.


Der Ehemann, 36 Jahre alt, wurde festgenommen und dem Haftrichter vorgeführt. Haftbefehl wegen Mordes.
🧕 Die Familie stammt aus dem Jemen.
Der Mann kam 2022 nach Deutschland, Frau und sechs Kinder (zwischen 4 und 10 Jahren) folgten per Familiennachzug. Die achtköpfige Familie wohnt auf Kosten der Steuerzahler in einem Haus in Krailling.
Dieses Einfamilienhaus mit Garten, in ruhiger Wohnlage – ist für unzählige deutsche Familien ein unerreichbarer Traum.
Für Deutsche, nicht jedoch für #Asylanten. Hier wohnte eine Familie aus dem #Jemen, auf Kosten der deutschen Steuerzahler.
Miete, Unterhalt, Leistungen – alles staatlich gestützt. Und das Ergebnis? Eine Frau tot, sechs Halbwaisen und ein Ehemann, der mutmaßlich Haftkosten im oberen 6-stelligen Bereich anhäufen wird. Sollte er in die Psychiatrie kommen, wird es noch teurer.

US importers are increasingly being asked by foreign counterparties to settle transactions in currencies other than the US dollar. The volatility of the US dollar, which has declined by 8% this year against a basket of other currencies, is driving this trend.

Foreign vendors are seeking to limit their exposure to further swings in the greenback by denominating contracts in local currencies or other alternatives.

Android without Google: the /e/ Project blew me away!


I've been trying to degoogle my life as much as possible lately, but there are 2 main holdouts: youtube, and Android. While I still haven't found a competent enough youtube alternative, apart maybe from LBRY, I might just have found the Android replacement I was looking for! Let's take a look at the /e/ operating system !

What is /e/

"e" is a nonprofit project, backed by the /e/ foundation. Its goal is to provide a compeltely de-googled version of Android. This is in the strictest sense, as anything that might call to Google has been plucked out of the operating system: the google services, app store, default applications, even the time server and DNS have been changed.

The /e/ operating system is the result: it can be installed on a lot of Android smartphones, from a fairly wide selection of manufacturers, or you can order a refurbished smartphone from the /e/ website More recently, /e/ has become available on the Fairphone 3 as well, which you can buy preinstalled with /e/ from their online store.

Gael also told me that the PinePhone might be a target at some point, and they already had a port for the PineBook.

/e/ account

As you won't be using any Google services, the /e/ project feels that you also need a few services for day to day use, that's why they provide you with a free /e/ account. This is basically your own user account on the /e/ project's Nextcloud, with an email address that ends in e.email, as well as contacts, a calendar, some file storage, photos, and tasks.

In term of features, the /e/ team is also working on End to End encryption, which is proving tricky to implement, as well as the ability to self host the /e/ online services if you want to have as much storage space as you'd like and control your data 100%.

They also have an SMS to cloud feature that allows you to keep your messages when you change phones, and are working on the ability to let users log their geolocation in the cloud if they want to, to be able to find their device if it gets lost or stolen.

The /e/ OS experience

The /e/ OS is very inspired by iOS in terms of look and feel, out of the box. You get a default grid of icons, some widgets when you swipe left, no standard Android app drawer, and a global search if you swipe from the top.

The OS ships with default apps for everything you might need out of the box, and all of these apps are open source, just like the OS itself.

Most of these are forks of other open source applications, for example, the web browser is a de-googled fork of Chromium, the mail client is a fork of K-9, the camera is a fork of OpenCamera...

Some apps are the default Android applications, like the contact, clock, calculator, keyboard, or gallery, and some are just preinstalled apps available anywhere alse, like MagicEarth for maps, PDFViewer Plus for PDFs, or OpenTasks for the todo list.

Using these applications, you also won't help but notice the Android roots behind them: older tab bars, three dot menus and pop-ups abound, and look like the stuff you'd have been using on an Android Kit Kat smartphone. This doesn't mean they're bad, but it does look a bit dated compared to the smooth interfaces of today. Some might prefer this older style, but I know I don't.

But why would you prefer /e/ over another Android custom ROM ? Well, as Gael Duval puts it, they are not targeting tech savvy users, or geeks. They want to offer a simple option that even beginners can get to grips with, without jumping through too many hoops and sacrificing convenience.

/e/ offers integrated services out of the box so you don't have to look for them intially, they put a lot of effort in the launcher user experience, and they are 100% Google Free. They are probably the only one to address the low level stuff as well, like the connectivity checks, or the NTP server, while most other custom ROMs still send information to Google.

Installing apps

/e/ doesn't try to reinvent the wheel here: they provide their own app store, that is basically a mirror of the applications available on the play store. Not all of them will be as up to date as the ones available on Googl's markeplace, and some of them won't be available, but the selection is pretty large here.

You also get some nice touches that you won't find on competing stores, like a privacy score. This is determined by scanning the apks and identifying the permissions they require, as well as the trackers they include, so you know, when you install an app on the /e/ store, what it will collect, and if you can reliably use it or not.

Software Ecosystems are bad, but Linux needs one


DOwnload Safing's Portmaster here: safing.io/portmaster/
Every company is talking about building their ecosystem. Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, even Amazon, they all want to have the full experience, with hardware, software, services, all designed to lock the users in and keep them coming for more products, more data, all at the price of convenience. I don't like these walled gardens, but I still think we need a full open source ecosystem where the desktop works well with mobile, smartwatches, iot devices, and services. Let's see how that could work.

As of today, there is no syncing between your Linux desktop, and a potential Linux phone. No interaction between your pinetime and your desktop or phone either. We have no "open source service suite" that a user can just start using on every device. And that's what I mean by ecosystem: a one stop shop, with a single account, that lets you access cloud storage, photo syncing, browser bookmarks and passwords, an email account and calendar, an office suite, text message syncing, basically an open source icloud or Microsoft account.

Ok, now, I think ecosystems are terrible. That's pretty paradoxical, I know, but that's because current ecosystems, that encompass hardware, software and services, are all proprietary, and designed as walled gardens, to lock you in and prevent you from switching.

Once you've bought a Mac, an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and iPad, and AirPods, the cost of switching to anything else becomes way too high. You've bought your apps, you're using Apple services, your hardware works beautifully together. If you just replace one piece of all of that, it all breaks down and the simplicity and ease of use is gone.

Because, yes, these ecosystems bring a lot to the table: everything tends to sync together super easily, you get your files, photos, settings, applications on every device, seamlessly. Stuff just connects together in the most simple way. That's appealing. But the cost is your freedom to decide that a superior product might be worth your money. Instead, you'll buy the product from the company you're beholden to, because anything else will just not work as well. It's a trap, but I think an open source ecosystem would solve that issue.

An open source Linux ecosystem would solve that


Open source, is, by definition, open. This means that building a walled garden with purely open source software is impossible, anyone could decide to fork and make sure that their device worked with the existing ecosystem.

In terms of hardware, we already have plenty of options: the Pine64 has the mobile devices, with the PineTAb, PinePhone, and PineTime. Any laptop or desktop can basically run Linux, so hardware doesn't matter that much for us. It's already pretty open, and we can switch to another manufacturer without any lock in.

In terms of software, the very philosophy of free software would allow anyone to plug in, or extract their own data from the ecosystem, to reuse it somewhere else. There would be no lockdown, no walled garden, only the simplicity, and seamless connectivity would remain.

How would that work


We already have a lot of the building blocks available to us. Nextcloud, for example, is a fantastic starting point. It does cloud storage, photo syncing, it offers a calendar and email application, it integrates with an open source office suite easily, and can be extended with apps. That would do for a backend and web interface.

What's missing is an open source email service, not too tricky to deploy, some bookmark and password storage, which Firefox already does with Lockwise and the Firefox account, so there's another building block.

The other missing piece is how to integrate that with our various distros, and that's the trickier part. For that idea to be successful, every desktop environment would have to work to make sure that just entering your credentials would allow you to use your cloud storage as a network drive, syncing your pictures and videos inside the right folder, automatically configure your email account and calendat with their default applications, open access to the integrated office suite, and sync the bookmarks and passwords with whatever browser they ship by default.

I can imagine a provider in the Online Accounts, like in GNOME or elementary OS, that just lets you set all of that up by just entering an email, and a password, obviously with 2 step verification.
