MAERSK just announced they have halted all container shipping operations in and out of Haifa, the only deepwater port in Israel that’s still functioning. And just like that, Israel’s maritime logistics capabilities have all but collapsed.
With each day of Iran’s missile strikes, Israel is looking more and more like Ukraine – a failed state that only (barely) functions because it’s propped up by money and supplies from the USA. Source: timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent…
After striking Tehran, the army closed hundreds of gates to seal Palestinians inside towns and strand them on roads — proof of annexation in all but name.
NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility vision involves the skies above the U.S. filled with new types of aircraft, including air taxis. But making that vision a reality involves ensuring that people will actually want to ride these aircraft – which is why NASA has been working to evaluate comfort, to see what passengers will and won’t […]
I love that Iran uses AI in their propaganda (not using the term in a negative manner here). It is one of the reasons I wanted to learn AI, because I recognized it has some democratizing powers. I recognize it has other uses too but at this time we are focusing on the good uses;

The first line of her post reads almost exactly like Replika's copy about itself. Here's a quote from a talk by Sherry Turkle:
Consider Replika, at this point a chatbot that offers itself as a friend, confidante, lover, psychotherapist. It’s built to be emotive, supportive, and erotic if that’s what a person wants. There’s a remarkable parallelism between what Replika’s developers promise and what enthusiastic users say they like about Replika. ... In my studies people tell me that they like chatbot friendship because it takes the stress out of relationships. With a chatbot friend there is no friction, there is no second guessing, there is no ambivalence, there is no fear of being left behind.

Physicist Francis Perrin sat at a nuclearfuel-processing plant down in the south of France, thinking to himself: “This cannot be possible.” It was 1972.
I'm trying to boot some VMs using a script w/ a kickstart file. I'm using the following script that I found online and modified:
\#!/usr/bin/env bash
\#set -x
## Define variables
MEM_SIZE="8192" # Memory setting in MiB
VCPUS="2" # CPU Cores count
\#OS_VARIANT="rocky9" # List with osinfo-query os
OS_VARIANT="rhel7.9" # List with osinfo-query os
ISO_FILE="~/Documents/software/os/RHEL-7.9-20200917.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso" # Path to ISO file
case $OS_VARIANT in
rhel7.9)
KS=ks7.cfg;;
rocky9)
KS=ks9.cfg;;
esac
echo -en "Enter vm name: "
read VM_NAME
OS_TYPE="linux"
echo -en "Enter virtual disk size : "
read DISK_SIZE
DISK=~/.local/share/libvirt/images/${VM_NAME}.qcow2
echo "Creating disk"
sudo virt-install \
--name ${VM_NAME} \
--memory=${MEM_SIZE} \
--vcpus=${VCPUS} \
--location ${ISO_FILE} \
--network network=default \
--disk path=${DISK},size=${DISK_SIZE} \
--graphics=none \
--os-variant=${OS_VARIANT} \
--console pty,target_type=serial \
--initrd-inject ~/virt/${KS} --extra-args "inst.ks=file:/${KS} console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"
I've obfuscated the directory paths, but they're all full paths and the script will build a VM. So basically just setting up a basic system, using the default network. Here's the config for that:
When this VM is installing, and when it's booted, it does not have an IP. Meanwhile, if I go through virt-manager and select the default network, it gets an IP just fine. I've tried running the virt-install command w/ and w/o sudo (I run virt-manager as me - I'm in the libvirt group). Looking at the virt-manager built VM:
$ ip link show master virbr0
11: vnet7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master virbr0 state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether fe:54:00:07:82:78 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
12: vnet8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master virbr0 state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether fe:54:00:5e:f5:05 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Only difference I can see is one is created using virt-install and the other using virt-manager (which calls to virt-install, no?). I thought there was a way to see the actual virt-install command virt-manager was about to use when creating a VM, but I can't find it. Also can't find any logs to give me an idea why the VM isn't getting an IP. Running ethtool on the VM interface shows a link. I've wasted too much time getting this to work, and all the documentation suggests it should "just work!"
ETA: PEBKAC! Remember where I said I was using kickstart? Yeah, well it helps to actually include a network configuration, even if it is just DHCP! Feeling stupid, but it's working.
I spoke to Doctorow about the big problems with Big Tech today, what we can do to hold them accountable, and how envisioning science-fiction utopias can help us on the way to something better.

Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:26 Sponsor: Proton VPN 01:46 Qt6 and Wayland 05:15 Visual changes 07:21 New desktop features 12:03 Settings changes 14:00 Applications changes 16:15 Was it worth the wait? 18:21 Sponsor: Tuxedo Computers 19:32 Support the channel
Plasma 6 moved to Qt6 entirely, and it's also the first version with fully complete wayland support, and Wayland is actually the default session. And that Wayland support is pretty flawless in my experience.
And this release also brings a few cool things, courtesy of Wayland: HDR is now supported, provided your display also support it. You can also set a color profile for each display individually, on Wayland as well. And finally, you also get color blindness correction filters in the settings.
First, the theme is now lighter on the eyes. They have removed a bunch of the blue borders that every single panel inside of an app had, so the whole feel of the desktop is similar, but also nicer, you don't have that many lines that draw your eyes. Highlighted items in list views are also different, now with rounded corners and a little bit of spacing.
Another visual change is the floating panel by default.
The defaults have changed drastically First, single click to select is now the default, with double click to open. Tap to click on touchpads is also the default now, and they've disabled scrolling on the desktop to switch workspaces.
It's now way easier to change panel configuration. The previous messy pop-up was replaced by something much more visual, which will absolutely be a better experience. You get visual representations of the settings you're changing, with combo boxes to select what you want, and tou can now auto hide the panel.
Another big change is the combination of the overview and the present windows effect. It feels like the older overview, except, it looks a lot like GNOME's. What has changed is the touchpad gestures, and these are much, much better. You also get the desktop cube back.
Another change is the ability to just click inside of a scrollbar's area to move the content directly to that area. Finally, Krunner got faster, way faster, and now lets you reorder the various elements that it shows when you search for something.
Visually, the settings are less busy. Gone are the double rows of icons at the bottom of a page, they now mostly moved to the toolbar of the settings app, meaning that settings pages now look a bit nicer. They've also reduced the number of pages that were opened by clicking a button inside of another page, so things are easier to find, and the settings were reordered into other categories.
You get a new sound theme preference page, and, easier configuration of which app will open a broad category of file.
Dolphin received changes to its settings as well, reordering a bunch of things, and it gained kjeyboard shortcuts to access the toolbar buttons and the disk space usage bar that lives in the status bar. You can also now right click a folder to open it in split view.
Spectacle, the screen recorder, now shows a tray icon when it's recording your screen, you can click it to end the recording. It also support recording a part of your screen, and has new keyboard shortcuts to handle all of this. Everything will now be saved by default in the pictures screenshots directory, you can change that of course. It also support VP9 to record videos, and can be used using the CLI
Konsole has redesigned settings, and will use less ram. Text selection now works for chinese, korean or japanese, and every tab now uses a separate cgroup, meaning the entire app will no longer be killed if your system needs to kill a process to save somle resources

Google has lost three separate antitrust cases, and more are on the way. Why does this company still exist in one piece? It shouldn't, but we're still dealing with the hangover of the 1990s.
This vision now has real teeth. If the United States escalates its military campaign against Iran, it risks not only igniting a broader regional war but raising the stakes in the ongoing de facto world war. Indeed, as Tariq Ali noted, Trump’s threats against Iran should be seen as part of a wider plan against China ...
The Ukraine war and the Israel-Iran conflict are not separate crises, but interlinked fronts in a piecemeal world war — one that pits the US against a de facto alliance of of Russia, Iran and China

At $84.99, the Switch 2 Pro Controller is the most affordable premium option compared to the Elite Series 2 and DualSense Edge, which both retail around $199.99
My dude is really saying that the switch 2 pro controller (without even analogic triggers) is a "premium" controller better than the elite and edge gamepads?
Mate, how much did Nintendo pay you to say this? Or are you scared that nintendo might stop sending you review items if you tell the truth?
The way I understood it, he's putting the pro controller in the "premium" category, as the edge and elite controllers. It's the "most affordable premium option" as if it was on the same league than the other two.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying ha, your previous comment made me think you believed they were saying it was better than those premium offerings. I must have misread it

Today, the dollar value of circulating stablecoins is around $250 billion. For that sum to be backed with sufficient reserves, it is estimated that last year issuers purchased $40 billion of US Treasury bills, more than any foreign buyer of Treasuries during 2024. In the same year, the stablecoin issuer Tether alone reported annual pre-tax profits of $13 billion — not bad for an offshore company employing around 100 people.
Hum, isn't this a ploy to keep the dollar afloat against the US' own sanctions ?

Ukraine should accept the current situation on the front lines and the impossibility of regaining previously lost territory in order to achieve progress in the peaceful settlement of the armed conflict.
ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot’s first mission to the International Space Station now has a name: εpsilon. The mission name and patch were announced today at the Paris Air Show by ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Sophie Adenot, who joined remotely from the United States, where she is training for her spaceflight.
Sophie Adenot is one of the five astronauts selected from ESA’s most recent astronaut class of 2022. Following the successful completion of their basic training in spring 2024, Josef Aschbacher announced during the Space Council in Brussels that Sophie and fellow graduate Raphaël Liégois had been assigned their first missions to the International Space Station, currently planned for 2026.
The εpsilon name and patch reflect the power of small, yet impactful contributions and how multiple parts unite to create a whole.
In mathematics, “ε” represents something small. In the extensive collaborative effort of space exploration, involving thousands of participants, all roles, including the astronaut's role, stay small yet meaningful.
The hummingbird, central to the patch, embodies this idea; though one of Earth’s smallest birds, it plays a crucial role in the jungle’s ecosystem, pollinating numerous plants.
Encircling the patch is a ring of small dots, symbolising the many small contributions that together make great achievements possible. All these little actions that can be coordinated to form a circle and close the loop. At the top, three of these dots are coloured – blue, white, and red – representing Sophie’s home country, France, and ESA’s exploration destinations: Earth, the Moon, and Mars.
The name εpsilon, being the fifth Greek letter and the fifth brightest star of the Leo constellation, also follows the French tradition to name human spaceflight missions after celestial bodies. It also pays tribute to the five career astronauts of ESA’s 2022 class.
Three lines emerge from the “i” of the εpsilon, shaping the tail of a shooting star, a poetic reminder that dreams keep us alive.
At the base of the patch lies a rounded blue shape, representing Earth’s surface and its natural beauty: mountains, forests and landscapes that Sophie enjoys exploring. It serves as a reminder of our motivation for spaceflight: to explore, learn, and return with this knowledge to benefit life on Earth.
From an emotional perspective, the same message is conveyed. In life's intricate tapestry, small threads contribute to create the most beautiful patterns. A kind word, a gentle smile, a moment of patience - these seemingly insignificant actions can transform lives and shape destinies. This patch invites each of us to embrace the potential of our smallest actions as they ripple outward, touching hearts and inspiring souls.
During her εpsilon mission, Sophie will perform numerous scientific experiments, many of them European, conduct medical research, support Earth observation and contribute to operations and maintenance aboard the International Space Station.
Marking the first public day of this year’s International Paris Air Show, the President of France Emmanuel Macron visited the Paris Space Hub.
ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher and Director of Human and Robotic Exploration Daniel Neuenschwander welcomed President Macron, introducing him to the assembled French astronauts and a group of young space professionals in attendance.
French ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot joined by video link from the United States, where she is training for her upcoming mission to the International Space Station. Sophie detailed some of her training, explaining that no two days are alike. Fellow astronauts Thomas Pesquet, Jean-François Clervoy and Claudie Haignéré also addressed Sophie and offered their advice for her time in space. Together President Macron and Sophie announced that her mission will be named εpsilon, and revealed her mission patch.
Speaking about the development of the space industry, President Macron said Europe must increase investment in commercial space, and emphasised the importance of complementarity of public and private investment – particularly with the upcoming ESA Council at Ministerial level and ongoing discussions for the next EU multiannual financial framework. He also mentioned the developing need for dual-use space capacity including surveillance. President Macron highlighted the importance of research and of making Europe a destination for researchers in line with the EU Choose Europe for Science initiative. He also called on Europe to improve its competitiveness in space. Watch a replay of the visit.
A new Letter of Intent between the European Space Agency and Dassault Aviation was also announced, signalling the common interest of the organisations in working on low Earth orbit exploration, in particular orbital vehicles.
Japan, seeing how strongly this “Asians defeating the West” narrative resonated in Asia, made it their main propaganda arc: they decided to frame their own imperialism and colonialism as a fight for justice, positioning themselves not as conquerors but as liberators freeing their Asian brothers from the yoke of white supremacy and coining slogans like “Asia for Asians” and the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.”
In war on Iran, US empire seeks hegemony in West Asia (Middle East), destroy Axis of Resistance, colonize Palestine, destabilize Iranian revolution, preserve petrodollar, prevent de-dollarization, divide BRICS, break up Iran-Russia-China partnership.
Le premier dit : « Le sionisme n’aurait jamais pu gagner sans l’holocauste ». Le second ajoute : « Netanyahou, il a fait un peu exprès de laisser faire pour reconquérir Gaza ». Qui sont-ils ? Où s’expriment-ils ? Combien de temps s’écoulera-t-il avant qu’ils ne soient injuriés dans tous les médias, convoqués par la police et gardés à vue ? Eh bien il s’agit respectivement de Daniel Cohn-Bendit et de Luc Ferry, ça se passe sur LCI et nous sommes le 19 mai 2025. Quant à la réprobation publique et à la convocation au commissariat, nous attendons encore. Ainsi va la tectonique des plaques.
L’ahurissant retournement de veste qui s’opère sous nos yeux, et l’autoblanchiment collectif à sa suite, resteront comme un cas d’école dans l’histoire de la propagande.
Tant que Netanyahu faisait massacrer les palestiniens, le sionisme ne causait aucun problème à personne, bien au contraire, être antisioniste était allègrement assimilable à de l'antisémitisme mais évidemment avec cette petite faute de parcours avec l'attaque de L'Iran... Il y a un doute qui se profil et la réplique est amère.
In the end, Lagarde’s proposal is less about global strategy and more about justifying greater EU centralisation. But what Europe needs is not “more Europe” — it’s a different Europe altogether.
