Just as a refresher, this is what the 2009 Brookings paper said about using Israel to provoke a war, and how the US required a perceived Iranian "provocation" to wade into the war itself.
the sheer fact that "sleeper cell" became an overnight mantra for a particular group of people is enough to make me think it's a psyop... definitely no cells.
Exactly. And as worrying as the prospect might seem, I will officially never think about it again if another 48 hours passes and nothing happens. If ever there was a provocation big enough for Iran to go for broke, THIS WAS IT.
Eles abandonam a terra, recusando-se a sacrificar-se por ela — porque nunca foi a terra deles. A verdade fala por si — nunca é difícil ver quem realmente pertence à terra.

Hi, please kindly direct me to the right community to ask this:
Plasma 6 is my favorite DE and i use KDE neon. The screen brightness adapts automatically to the windows i focus on, which is a good idea. But it does that the wrong way IMO. Dark windows are dimmed and bright windows are lit up. Why? Now i have both extremes switching back and forth all the time. Can we turn that the other way around or turn it off please?
I like that the screens hardware brightness setting is used now from the desktop. Great! But now i have no control over it anymore, since when i open a bright window, the brightness setting goes up too. I hate that at night.
Usually adjusting the brightness for me has one purpose: - bright room: max display brightness (day) - dark room: min display brightness (night)
...maybe something in between for transition. All the other features are nice to have but please only work on them when this main feature is secured.
If both monitors are messing with your sensors, you may just want to disable adaptive brightness and manually control it. They don't seem to have a workaround for it as of yet.
Whoops, it's already been months since I last blogged. I've been actively involved with Plasma and especially its power management service PowerDevil for over a year now. I'm still learning about how everything fits together.
That's probably the new Extended Dynamic Range setting from Plasma 6.4. You can find it in the display settings. It is meant to adjust the display's brightness to emulate an HDR display.
"The order that we received from our CIC was focused; it was powerful , & it was clear. We devastated the Iranian nuclear program. What it's worth noting that the operation did not target the Iranian troops or the Iranian people. For the entirety of his time in office, President Trump, has consistently stated for over 10 yrs, that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon, full stop. Thanks to President Trump's bold & visionary leadership ...

Depends on the timeline. Years from now when everyone has forgotten her? Maybe. But right now she's too high-profile and it would be too obvious, even for the pseudo-mask-off regime. I think at most it will be a resignation.
Taiwan is "of course" a country and China lacks both the historical evidence and legal proof to back up its sovereignty claims, President Lai Ching-te said on Sunday in a strong rebuke to Beijing and its stepped up political and military pressure.
China says democratically-governed Taiwan is "sacred" Chinese territory that has belonged to the country since ancient times, and that the island is one of its provinces with no right to be called a state.
Lai and his government strongly reject that view, and have offered talks with China multiple times but have been rejected. China calls Lai a "separatist".
Giving the first of 10 speeches in a series called "uniting the country", Lai drew on Taiwan's history, including the millennia-long connection of its indigenous people to other Austronesians, like native Hawaiians, to show what he said was Taiwan's separate and distinct development from China.

The territorial aspect of the conflict is only the result of “military logic” making this a fait accompli as the conflict dragged on after the Anglo-American Axis sabotaged spring 2022’s peace talks.
About a year ago, I heard someone mention that Outer Wilds had a VR mod. I do have a VR setup and am an experienced VR player, so I really could experience this game for the first time in VR.
Is that reasonable or should I play it the first time with flat graphics?
I have only played the game in VR and loved it. The mod worked great for me a year or two ago so unless a patch went through it still should. Since you’re an experienced VR player I don’t think you’ll have too much issue with motion sickness. That being said it takes a lot to make me nauseous, so your results may vary. I think it’s an amazing way to get drawn into the world.
So beautiful ❤️ I have similar flowers in the "flower meadow" corner of my garden, but only one poppy so far. I hope there will be more, so that it's more colourful, like yours ☺️
Although specific for the UK, I doubt these numbers differ much between countries. The market has always been an ideological construct, to benefit a small clique.
- The Israeli and US attacks against Iran are blatantly illegal under international law. The US attacks are blatantly illegal under US law and represent the most casual, blasé violation of the constitution I can recall in my life.
- No one involved in these crimes will ever suffer meaningful consequences for their crimes (unless we can figure out how to do it ourselves). Law cannot save us because it was never meant to protect us, and the fiction of a constitutional order in the US or a functioning system of international law should be well and truly dead now.
- The Iranian regime is genuinely, truly awful. There is very little the Iranian regime has done to the people under its rule that the Israeli state has not also done to Palestinians. All of these regimes deserve to be destroyed—by the people they rule and abuse, not by rival monstrous regimes.
- Real human beings are suffering because of this—the civilians on the receiving ends of these strikes, the people who will sicken and die if nuclear materials are exposed and scattered, the children who go hungry because meals were stolen from their mouths to pay for ballistic missiles and B2 bombers and one-way attack drones.
- US news outlets are writing headlines like “US dragged into war with Iran!” and deploying the passive voice like they’re covering a cop who shot and murdered a civilian. Gramsci and Althusser were correct, the US press is an institutional state apparatus that exists to reproduce hegemony and just generally fucking sucks.
- Iran’s next logical response is to launch retaliatory attacks against US facilities and personnel across the region. More civilians will suffer and die.
- Despite like a century’s worth of damning empirical evidence, air power alone cannot win wars. Israel and the US now face the choice of either repeating Trump’s failed war against the Huthis—bombing stuff for a few months at enormous cost before getting bored and declaring victory—or escalating.
- Israel’s ground forces have been reduced to the status of a colonial constabulary that can do occupation duty and commit war crimes but isn’t in a position to fight a major ground campaign. I can’t even begin to imagine how incompetent US forces would operate under Trump’s command.
I know just a little about Iranian history and think it's pretty unlikely they'll give in to demands to surrender. I really despise the regime there, but it's the regular people who also hate the regime who are going to suffer. I feel a very strong sense of deja vu from 2003.
"The Israeli and US attacks against Iran are blatantly illegal under international law."
You mean states are going back on their pinky promise that they're not going to do a state violence? As a neoliberal, I am very concerned. If they do this another million times, I'll consider writing a letter to my congressperson (lol, no I won't).
The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".
Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!
I have a similar experience. Google Maps shows a hiking path in my area that doesn't exist which sends hikers the wrong way. I tried to edit it 3 times showing the exact shape of the actual path which is visible on the satellite image. I never even got a notice on my edit and the shown path is still wrong.
I wonder if their 'verification' process is literally just "look it up on other maps like OSM and see if it says the same thing" so that they can claim that Technically, It Was Contributed To Us

Good hint. Have a similar issue here. Pity OSM is 100% perfect already with bollards and footpath where Google shows a regular road.🤦♀️ I wish they would just copy this.
Yea, I've also made edits on openstreetmap that Google Maps have stolen.
To make an edit on Google Maps you need another user with privileges to approve the change. Or make lots of changes yourself to level up and have more control.
that's a great hint, thank you! I have a similar Situation here, Google decided last summer, that the street where I live in, is not longer accessible by car, which makes route planning impossible. Great problem with parcel delivery services... I will have a look at OSM and will see, what I can do.
In my experience, edits on Apple Maps are applied within some days up to two weeks at most. They appear to use some user based trust rating, as my initial edits needed significantly more time. I made approximately 100 edits so far.

Could they please also steal the shapes of buildings that don't fall into the river? It's been like that for at least 4 years. In general, Google Maps are broken like that at least in St Petersburg and Dubai. They were fine in Paris, Brussels and Cologne when I visited Europe last year but I still had trust issues.

So a while back, I wanted to play Conkere bad furday. After doing some math I worked out that it was cheaper to get an Xbox One and Rare Replay, than the original game.
But now that I have Conkers, and a new box. I thought to myself. Hey isn’t this backwards compatible with 360. Which it was. But this lead me to another thought. Why deal with Ubisoft BS on PCs and their Client. Where older games force you to sign in to play them. When I could just have them on one box.
Which eventually lead me to acquiring this small collection. Total price is $155.88 CAD (before tax) and I know I overpaid for some of the later games. But it’s all on one system with no Uplay BS in my face.
Ac1 - $3
AC2 - $4

ACS - $13
ACC - $18 (shocked with this one)
ACOr - $20 (could’ve got it for $10 but got it on impulse)
Almost guaranteed, at least. Consoles are now in the habit of closing their stores after a new generation or two when they stop making enough money, and there are a lot of games today that aren't really playable without a day 1 patch or additional content requirement that are simply not included on the disc.
A lot of games (not even just Nintendo) don't even include the game data on the physical media anymore. The disc/cart acts only as a license and the entire thing is downloaded from the store when first used.

Regarding Adam's comments about Siri's "not ready" clip. There was a key statement in that clip. Apple is trying to run the model on-device. You can't run a model of any usable size on an iPhone. Even if it had the memory, it would take days for it to crunch through the prompt. It's like trying to pull a tractor trailer with a Honda Civic.
So, instead, they have to run smaller models which can't handle any worth while tasks.
Umm. Only part of Siri runs locally cybermagazine.com/operational-… if it decides it needs server support - it will send the information & query to Apple servers to process it. IIRC this transfer is transitory - on a server spun up just for your request.
Newer versions allow data to be sent to ChatGPT as well (allows account access).
No way the Zionist entity can sustain a conflict with Iran for this long - even with US support! Neither has the manufacturing capacity to re-stock the expended munitions! The US/ NATO are already struggling to supply Ukraine!
“BREAKING: Iran estimates that the war will last up to 6 months, and has planned for this”
There’s lies, damned lies and American lies.. No rise in radiation detected, suggests the Americans certainly didn’t bomb an active nuclear facility with bombs that would be ‘ready in weeks’. Either there’s no bombs at all, which is what the inspectors have noted for years, or Iran’s nukes are somewhere they will not be found, until they use them. flipboard.com/@aljazeera/us-ca…
Since there’s no algorithm, it’s kind of interesting to go on here when I can’t sleep and see things in languages I don’t understand and remember we’re all on this same planet together. Kinda makes me sad and happy at the same time.
At least part of the servers have Translate button directly on the Mastodon user interface, allowing getting some kind of understanding about what people are writing in other languages. DeepL.com translation integration seems to be working rather quickly.
I can tell how tired I am by how many words of a Dutch or German post I read before I remember that I don't understand Dutch or German.
I still have an opinion on it though
I recommend everyone on here follow at least a few people who are not speakers of the followers native language. The translate button works great, and it really makes a huge change in tone.

I picked up an old optiplex I'm trying to use as a NAS and do other things with. Initially I put Debian on there but felt like I was running into too many problems with things like power management, remot desktop, Docker, and mounting drives.
So I put Openmediavault on there and it's working now. But what are some of the best ways to get the most out of it?
Can I do most things through the browser interface, or should I remote into it to install things?
How easily can I mount it as a network drive to other computers? I still have a Windows PC so I'd like to access it from there too if possible.
And what's the best way to get other services running on it? I'm thinking of how it's possible to set up torrenting software and control it with a remote app from your phone. (For managing and sharing my distros, of course).
Happy to hear any feedback on what people do with OMV, or their setups for a NAS in general. This is more of a tinkering computer to get me more familiar with networks and Linux.
I don't use OMV, but I have a nas server I built and here is my .02
set up an smb share in OMV for windows. Mounting that in windows should be trivial (don't hold me. Haven't used windows in years now, but last I used win10 smb was super easy to mount)
look into docker on OMV for deploying stuff. I run docker on my NAS and host a bunch of stuff including
with docker, if you want a GUI for ceeating, managing and interacting with your stuff, look at Dockge and Portainer
Portainer is your container management software to deploy, troubleshoot, and secure applications across cloud, datacenter, and Industrial IoT use cases.
Here’s the thing: fuck the ayatollah and his mullahs and fuck Hamas (neither of those bastards would hesitate to put a bullet in the head of an atheist apostate like me) but that doesn’t mean you attack the people of Iran (most of whom oppose the regime) or Palestine (who also suffer under the yoke of Hamas – an organisation that, furthermore, was funded and supported by Netanyahu’s regime to sabotage the peace process).
If you cannot separate authoritarian regimes from the people being oppressed by them, and if you condone the indiscriminate slaughter of the latter, then don’t be surprised when the same rules end up applying to you… given the way things are going in the United States, for example.
We have rules of combat and international law for a reason. It’s not because we’re morally superior; far from it. It’s because we don’t want that same shit done to us. That’s a dangerous thing to forget.
It warms my heart every day that people all over the world have no trouble distinguishing the current American government from the many Americans who are resisting it. The same applies to the peaceful people of Palestine and Iran.
Stability and lasting peace depend on good relations with governments supported by their own people. You don't get from here to there by bombing hospitals full of children.
@Professor_Stevens No matter where “there” is, “Stability and lasting peace depend on good relations with governments supported by their own people. You don't get from here to there by bombing hospitals full of children.” 💔
@agaudeul Precisely what kind of fucking stupid are you? The "I'll believe any propaganda that confirms my racism" kind, or the "The brown civilian victims are all actors" kind, or the "Muslim kids are just terrorists in waiting" kind, or what? Take your brain rot elsewhere.
@gfpreger Yeah, you love them so much, why don’t you go live under their rule? For fuck’s sake, man, can you just be on the right side of history without being a goddamned tankie?
I sadly don't believe that is the reason we have international law. The reason seems to me being to legalwash all the neo-colonialist shit the colonial powers are doing and convince their people that they are "doing the right thing".
The fact that they now decided to do away with pretenses mean that either they are desperate and in a corner or they know nobody is going to touch them.
truth being told. But keep in mind that when a war starts there will be collateral damages. But what Israel is doing right now in the Gaza Strip overcomes everything, they are doing what others made to their people in the past... They forgot really quick.
hamas was founded in the 80s, before bibi was in power. and while Israel's government HAS helped, most of the evidence given boils down to 'they've been too lax, they should've cracked down pre-Oct 7'--that is, 'do this war earlier'.
Also, all of those are dictatorships. In a democracy like Israel, Hamas (or Iran, or Hezbollah, or...) could say Bibi's popular (not that it'd help). But in Iran and Gaza, it's not 'the people' supporting this. The people are being dragged along for the ride.
