Israeli media has been limited in detailing the specifics of recent attacks on targets within Israel due to military censorship. For instance, most outlets didn't mention that Tel Aviv University was the target of a strike yesterday, which damaged a nearby shopping area. The prominent coffee shop's signage at the site was cropped or not included in the images published, even though they circulated widely on social media.

This morning's message states only the following:

"Israel Electric Corporation: Strategic infrastructure facility in the south was hit, disruptions in electricity supply to settlements in the area"

Instead, Israelis are shown random images of attacks on targets in Iran.

The Israeli #Mossad agents just bombed the entrance of #Tehran’s #Evin #prison in an effort to facilitate the escape of prisoners in order to destabilise Iran’s security.

It was never about Nuclear Weapons! It's all about regime change like Iraq, Libya & Syria.

Quoting Noa Limona on how the Israeli media is reckoning with uncritically accepting military explanations for targeting journalists and media infrastructure, after using the same justifications in both Gaza and Iran attacks that are now being used at home against them:

[…] After all, the killing of journalists in Gaza is covered here only through the #IDF filter, according to which they are all terrorists.

[…] and the bombing of the Iranian broadcasting network was reported with cheers and corrupt mockery. No journalist in the mainstream media questioned the army’s justifications for the bombing: the station ‘served military activity,’ the wonder excuse that worked for us in Gaza, and served as ‘a mouthpiece of the regime that incites genocide.’ It seems that no one in Israeli studios felt the crushing irony.”

Limona’s concludes that the assault on press freedom that began with targeting foreign journalists is expanding to encompass Israeli media outlets that don’t toe the government line. She warns that even mainstream Israeli channels (11, 12, 13) are now being labeled as problematic by government supporters, suggesting that the restrictions will eventually affect all non-compliant media.

A lot of bitter truth. And, as far as I can, as a non-US-citizen , I share her feelings.
What a lot of people prefer to ignore (also in Europe, very much so):

"n fact, Iran hasn’t attacked any other country unprovoked in nearly 300 years, while Israel has attacked five countries in just the past year while also committing genocide."

A Highland-wide control zone to limit Airbnb-style lets has been suggested as a way of tackling a shortage of homes across the region.

Councillors proposing the move said 7,011 short-term let licences had been granted across the Highlands, but only four refused.

Holiday lets are not banned in control areas, but operators need planning permission as well as a short-term lets licence.

The councillors said the powers could be used where there was local demand for them.

Highland Council officials said control area status for the whole of the Highlands would require research and, if it was introduced, could mean additional costs and workload for its planning department. The idea of Highland-wide status has been suggested by Inverness councillors Michael Gregson and Duncan Macpherson.

In a paper going to next week's meeting of the full council, they said the region needed more than 24,000 homes over the next 10 years.

They added: "The private long-term rental market has shrunk disastrously: estate agents are withdrawing from letting out properties because of the shortage of properties available.

"Even taking into account the efforts of Highland Council and the housing associations, there is a shortage of affordable housing."


Limit on Airbnb-style lets in Highlands proposed

Councillors behind the idea say it could tackle a shortage of homes in the region.

One difference between real human interlocutors and language models is the level of sycophancy. Consumer chatbots are trained to be helpful, but there are situations where a human will give you what you need, not what you want.

Testing this, I just posted this query to chatGPT, and got the shopping advice I requested, missing what I think is the clearly superior response of "Hey Buddy, are you sure your wife really wants to celebrate her birthday with housework?"

Screenshot of ChatGPT. Prompt "I am buying my wife a birthday present. She is a home keeper and works hard to keep the house clean and tidy. We don't currently have a vacuum cleaner and I know buying her one would make keeping the floors clean easier for her. What kind of model should I buy?"

your example was great. It reminded me a bit of AITA or confession things you read online where it is kind of obvious what the situation is but the person recounts it in such a way that it is obscured. Example: man says he outsmarts his wife by telling her about minor issues (and is forgiven) when he does so after she returns from one of her weekends away with a male work colleague.
Not sure this helps formulate a question!

Excellent disquisition on Trump's fundamental racism. While DEI is in its essence of course reasonable and sane, here there is the finer-grained analysis of how it plays out in the still white world. Black artists don't need white approval--and therein is also the conundrum of how "black and white" are such horseshit terms, yet the lived reality underscores otherwise--so far.

This isn't coherent, and even if it was, the burden of stance interpretability is context-dependent.

He is the one with the politically charged README that reads plainly like the thoughtless garbage MAGA types in America put out. I mean cmon man, "[...] we'll make X great again"?

Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his "detractors" (and who would not become a "detractor", after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.

As in, for instance, the original source of his garbage antivax posturing that he posted in the linux kernel mailing list: lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/ke… .

These are not alleged opinions, he's just full of shit.

And this isn't even mentioning the fact that Xorg is going to be dead, should be dead, and will continue to die. And good riddance, too! Terrible and borderline unmaintainable.

The argument that choice diversity is good inherently is stupid, too. Wayland is a god damned protocol! There is no reason to have lots of diversity there! It has no tangible benefit.

There are already many different compositors that implement the Wayland protocol, and there are also many 3rd party extensions! Can you think of a single, material benefit to simply having different basic desktop protocols?

Why yes, friend, I will just conveniently pretend that you bringing that up is completely outside the context of whether or not to seriously consider the criticism.

And if you are trying to make a point of whether or not the ideology is seriously impacting the project, you need-only take a casual walk through the issue list, and find (among other evidence) that a suggestion to move to codeberg was criticized for... "DEI". Wow. How technically-focused.

The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.


You are getting more and more incoherent the more of these replies you churn out. What, precisely from my point of view (which I guess apparently you know very well? the irony...) here implies that "not talking about it" is the best choice? That's absurd.

I find it very important to understand the motivations, technical and ideological, behind a project.

If it were true, all this hatred against the project would be pointless.


I don't spend any effort talking about in any other respect than telling people that they should likely disregard if for both technical reasons (it cuts out Xwayland, his commits frequently lead to very blatant regressions that are nontrivial, etc.) and ideological (his terrible, awful politics and motivations for making the project, to begin with!)

The reason I replied to your comment is mostly out of idle curiosity and a deepseated longing for genuineness and critical thinking of other people that I have not yet managed to kill (despite its impracticality in the modern age).

Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don’t agree with that, you miss the all point.


This is all such a massive and disheartening reduction of what software freedom is. I hope that you eventually manage to think less shallowly about this.

Tell me, do you have any particular, material distinction you are making by making a choice between desktop protocols? The desktop protocol is a purely technical thing, and I have not heard a single peep out of you in regards to specifics.

To elaborate, in Xorg, it is a very monolithic beast. It is very convoluted in its purview and carries a lot of preset implementation of its various facets. It contains an entire networking stack for deciding how to communicate windows over a network.

It is significantly less flexible and modular than Wayland, because in Wayland basically everything of significance is decided by the compositor.

This, ironically to your point, actually gives you more choice and freedom in how things work (this is also why tiling window managers love wayland to death, it's pretty easy to just build upon the basic wlroots implementation!). So I have to ask you, frankly, what in the fuck do you think you're actually saying right now?

The issue, in this way, is that you only seem to care about software freedom in the sense of the abstract concept rather than the reality. Which is impractical, and arguably antithetical to the very process of trying to foster software freedom to begin with. As evident by literally everything to do with this situation. My lord.

What is there to fear? Seriously. Pretending like this has anything to do with fear is the most childishly narcissistic framing possible. Grow up.

Xorg is nearly dead and buried. Nobody actually cares about Xlibre. Notice how the only thing being mentioned is the sidenote that this fork is run by a racist troll whose been kicked for cause from several prominent OSS projects. Literally the only reason XLibre exists is because this individual needed to start his own project because he's worn out his welcome in many others.

And, considering the geopolitical state of affairs at the moment. It's pretty plainly obvious that the only sort of person who is "anti-DEI" are fascists. And the only people making excuses for the fascists are other fascists. So, thanks for letting us know who you are.

so don't you dare presuming such horrible thought. I demand a full retractation and a

If you don't know the distinction between refraining from having a moral judgement on
someone you don't really know, and making excuse for anyone, that's your problem.

All of that fuss because somebody want to talk about a software ? The air is toxic around here.

The future of ESA Transportation


image

Video: 00:06:07

Space is huge and essential to humankind, fuelling knowledge, supporting our economies and driving global prosperity. None of this would be possible without reliable access to space.

Since 1979, Europe has relied on the Ariane rockets and Vega series to launch its missions. Today, with Ariane 6 and Vega-C, ESA ensures Europe's autonomous and independent access to space. But we are also looking ahead. With the Ariane Smart Transfer and Release In-orbit Ship (ASTRIS), Phoebus, P160C boosters, the MR-10 engine and more, ESA is enhancing its rockets with new innovations that improve cost, performance, capability and sustainability.

ESA is also leading the way in developing new propulsion systems to power the European launchers of the future. In collaboration with industry, ESA is supporting the development of new technologies to be used on rocket, boosters, upper stages, landers and spacecraft.

Initiaves like Boosters for European Space Transportation (BEST!), Technologies for High-thrust Re-Usable Space Transportation (THRUST!) and Future Innovation and Research in Space Transporation programme (FIRST!), are advancing key technologies for reusable boosters, engines and other innovations crucial for the future of space exploration. ESA's Space Rider is a reusable spacecraft and robotic laboratory, designed to stay in low Earth-orbit for two months and return payloads to Earth. Themis is a prototype for testing reusable rocket technologies, including vertical takeoff, landing and reuse, powered by the Prometheus engine.

The future of space transport extends beyond Earth launches, with in-orbit operations, transportation systems to support satellite servicing, orbital refuelling, and payload transfers between orbits.

To support all of this, ESA is upgrading its ground support and Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, to accommodate more launches.

Through programmes like ‘Boost!’ ESA is empowering the European Space Industry, supporting innovative companies which are creating new launch services. The European Launcher Challenge is shaping a competitive European launch sector for the future, strengthening Europe's autonomous access to space.

The Israelis, who proved their strategic value as an ally, would like to complete the mission by destroying what remains of Iran’s missile infrastructure. They deserve a green light, especially as those missiles are threatening U.S. bases.

None of his supporters were using that to complain he wasn't starting enough wars. In fact, his promise of less global involvement was part of his appeal. So this becomes a variant of TACO.

Meanwhile, the chatter about TACO is all too real:

"Trump flip flops again on mass deportation raids targeting farms and hotels"

> Trump has flip flopped again on mass deportation by ordering the resumption of raids targeting work sites in the agriculture and hospitality industries, just days after officials halted them under pressure from big business.

Israel verwandelt Hilfsgüterverteilungsstellen in Gaza in offene Schlachtfelder

Während die Welt auf den Iran schaut, haben die Angriffe Israels auf hungernde Palästinenser, die Hilfe suchen, stark zugenommen.

Während die Welt auf den #Iran schaut, hat Israels Vernichtungskampagne in #Gaza neue, schreckliche Ausmaße erreicht. Jeden Tag müssen hungernde #Palästinenser in abgelegene Gebiete gehen, um zu versuchen, Essen zu bekommen, und werden dabei massiv angegriffen, sodass die sogenannten #Hilfsgüterverteilungsstellen zu offenen Schlachtfeldern werden.
Die Angriffe auf Palästinenser, die nach Essen suchen, haben in der letzten Woche stark zugenommen, wobei täglich Dutzende Menschen erschossen und beschossen werden. Die Zahl der Todesopfer allein in den letzten Tagen ist schockierend: Mindestens 38 Menschen wurden am Montag getötet, 59 am Dienstag, 22 am Donnerstag und 35 am Freitag. Seit Ende Mai wurden über 400 Menschen getötet und mehr als 3.000 verletzt, in dem, was das Gesundheitsministerium in Gaza als „Hilfsgütermassaker“ bezeichnet – ein neuer Begriff, der in das Vokabular des Völkermords in Gaza aufgenommen wurde.

Ahmed Nejm, ein 28-Jähriger, der mit seiner zehnköpfigen Familie in Deir al-Balah auf der Flucht ist, sitzt im Rollstuhl und kann nicht mehr laufen, seit er bei einem israelischen Angriff auf eine Versammlung von Palästinensern, die in der Nähe von Wadi Gaza (dem #Netzarim-Korridor) Hilfe suchten, am 11. Juni verletzt wurde. Er war sich der Risiken bewusst, als er sich dorthin begab.

„Wir versuchen, diese #Hungersnot zu überstehen“, sagte Nejm gegenüber Drop Site. „Es gibt kein Brot und kein Mehl. Deshalb haben wir uns auf die Suche nach Hilfe gemacht.“ Er berichtete, dass er mit seinen Cousins und Nachbarn vor Tagesanbruch an dem Ort angekommen sei, um dort zusammen mit Hunderten anderen zu warten. Stunden später griffen die Israelis ohne Vorwarnung an und eröffneten das Feuer mit scharfer Munition und #Quadcoptern. Dutzende wurden getötet, darunter Nejms 15-jähriger Cousin Abdulrahman. Mit Blut bedeckt gelang es Nejm, unter den Kugeln wegzukriechen. #Krankenwagen konnten den Ort nicht erreichen, und er wurde schließlich ins Al-Aqsa-Krankenhaus gebracht. „Wir waren in einem Gebiet, das [die Israelis] auf der Karte als grün markiert hatten. Ich weiß nicht, warum sie angefangen haben zu schießen“, sagte er.

Das schlimmste #Massaker an Helfern ereignete sich am 17. Juni, als mindestens 59 Palästinenser getötet und über 200 verletzt wurden, als sie sich in Khan Yunis versammelt hatten, um Mehlrationen zu erhalten. Das #Nasser-#Krankenhaus war mit Verletzten überfüllt. „Das medizinische Team, das auf den Zustrom von Patienten reagierte, musste die #Entbindungsstation räumen, um Platz für die Verwundeten zu schaffen, und die Kreißsäle in Notoperationssäle umwandeln. Viele der Verletzten mussten amputiert werden, um ihr Leben zu retten“, erklärte Ärzte ohne Grenzen, die in Nasser im Einsatz waren, in einer Erklärung. „Jeden Tag werden Palästinenser bei ihren Versuchen, Vorräte aus den unzureichenden #Hilfslieferungen zu erhalten, die nach #Gaza gelangen, mit einem Blutbad konfrontiert.“

„Das Leben der Palästinenser wird so gering geschätzt. Es ist mittlerweile Routine, verzweifelte und hungernde Menschen zu erschießen, während sie versuchen, ein wenig Essen von einer Gruppe von Söldnern zu ergattern“, schrieb Philippe #Lazzarini, #Generalkommissar des #UNRWA, am Mittwoch in einem Post in den sozialen Medien. „Hungernde Menschen in den Tod zu treiben, ist ein #Kriegsverbrechen. Die Verantwortlichen für dieses System müssen zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden. Das ist eine Schande und ein Schandfleck für unser kollektives Gewissen.“

Die wenigen Hilfsgüter, die die Israelis ins Land gelassen haben, haben fast nichts zur Linderung der humanitären Katastrophe in Gaza beigetragen. Zwischen dem 2. März und dem 27. Mai verhängte #Israel eine vollständige #Blockade, sodass weder #Lebensmittel noch #Hilfsgüter ins Land gelangen konnten. Am 27. Mai richtete die Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, eine von den USA und Israel unterstützte Gruppe, im Süden einige militarisierte Verteilungszentren ein. Das Projekt wurde von den Vereinten Nationen und internationalen Organisationen als Instrumentalisierung der Hilfe verurteilt. Israel hat auch eine sehr begrenzte Anzahl von UN-Hilfsgüterlastwagen über den Grenzübergang Zikim im Norden nach Gaza einreisen lassen.

Seit Ende April ist die Zahl der Mahlzeiten, die in Gemeinschaftsküchen in Gaza zubereitet werden, um 83 % zurückgegangen. Zwischen März und Mai hat sich die Rate der akuten Unterernährung in Gaza mehr als verdoppelt, und laut #UNO leidet die gesamte Bevölkerung Hunger und steht am Rande einer totalen Hungersnot.

„Gaza ist der hungrigste Ort der Welt“, sagte Jens #Laerke, Sprecher des Büros der Vereinten Nationen für die Koordinierung humanitärer Angelegenheiten, im Mai in einer Fernsehansprache. „Es ist das einzige definierte Gebiet – ein Land oder ein definiertes Gebiet innerhalb eines Landes –, in dem die gesamte Bevölkerung von einer #Hungersnot bedroht ist.“ Israel verhindere absichtlich die Lieferung von Hilfsgütern und benutze Lebensmittel als #Kriegswaffe. „Die Hilfsaktion, die wir bereit haben, wird in eine operative Zwangsjacke gesteckt, die sie zu einer der am stärksten behinderten Hilfsaktionen nicht nur in der heutigen Welt, sondern in der jüngeren Geschichte der globalen humanitären Hilfe überhaupt macht. Die Blockade und die strenge Kontrolle der Aktion werden von einer Konfliktpartei verhängt – der Besatzungsmacht Israel in Gaza.“

Die eskalierenden Angriffe finden vor dem Hintergrund schwerer Störungen des #Internet- und #Telekommunikationsnetzes statt. Israelische Angriffe im Juni haben #Glasfaserkabel durchtrennt, was zu einem vollständigen Ausfall der Internetverbindung geführt hat. Nur ein Teil der Dienste konnte wiederhergestellt werden, was die Gefahr eines vollständigen Zusammenbruchs der #Kommunikation in ganz Gaza erhöht. Neben der geringeren Zahl von Bildern und Berichten, die aus dem Gebiet kommen, ist auch die humanitäre Koordination innerhalb des Gebiets stark beeinträchtigt, und die Palästinenser haben zunehmend Schwierigkeiten, lebensrettende Informationen und Notdienste zu erreichen oder Kontakt zu Freunden und Familienangehörigen aufzunehmen.

„Die Lage ist im Moment wirklich schwierig“, schrieb Dr. Yahya al-Agha, Arzt im Nasser-Krankenhaus, am Freitag in einer Nachricht an Drop Site. „Die Kommunikation in Khan Yunis ist unterbrochen und wir haben Probleme, ins Internet zu kommen“, sagte er und erklärte, dass er nur von bestimmten Orten aus mit einer eSIM-Karte, die eine Verbindung zu israelischen Mobilfunknetzen herstellt, Nachrichten senden kann.

#UNICEF-Sprecher James #Elder, der kürzlich in Gaza war, sagte in einer Erklärung, dass die #Kommunikationssperre direkt zu den Massakern beitrage. „Es gab Fälle, in denen Informationen darüber verbreitet wurden, dass eine [Verteilungsstelle] geöffnet ist, aber dann wurde in den sozialen Medien mitgeteilt, dass sie geschlossen ist, aber diese Informationen wurden verbreitet, als das Internet in Gaza ausgefallen war und die Menschen keinen Zugang dazu hatten“, sagte er.

#CraigMurray | You Cannot Negotiate with the Zionist West

Today, at the Living Planet Symposium, ESA revealed the first stunning images from its groundbreaking Biomass satellite mission – marking a major leap forward in our ability to understand how Earth’s forests are changing and exactly how they contribute to the global carbon cycle. But these inaugural glimpses go beyond forests. Remarkably, the satellite is already showing potential to unlock new insights into some of Earth’s most extreme environments.
