As the government designates Palestine Action a 'terrorist' group, Jeremy Corbyn argues that MPs wouldn’t be here without the right to protest – and that this authoritarian crackdown must end now

ESA’s week-long Living Planet Symposium kicked off today in Vienna, Austria, bringing together scientists and researchers from around the globe. Throughout the week, we’ll be covering the bigger stories in depth, such as the first images from ESA’s Biomass mission published earlier today – but we’re also sharing some daily snapshots of other significant happenings.
So, today’s few ‘extras’ include Sentinel-2 marking 10 years in orbit, ESA selects Telespazio to run the ground segment for the TRUTHS mission and listen to EarthCARE data transformed into a dragon’s song for peace.
Le "Gobi Wall", ce mur médiéval méconnu qui éclaire l'histoire des frontières en Asie

My friends and I are hosting a Linux and FOSS group chat to have some casual chat, help, and anything related to the topic really. We chose this platform to chat on to keep a privacy preserving way to engage with one another.
Alright. Haha, I filter out Big Tech and far-right shit on Mastodon 😛 It's probably because of that. And if some far-right person starts to chat/talk to me, I often ignore him/her.
I really have no idea why everyone is bashing Signal so much here. None of the concerns listed seem even slightly technical.
The only problem I have with signal is that it is:
A. Centralized (which isn't explicitly a privacy concern, but a control concern in-line with linux and foss)
B. Requires a phone number to register.
It is quite private in spite of that, and goes to great lengths to achieve that privacy. It is what I see people in the security community consistently suggest.
However, if this is a public group, are we to really be that concerned about many of the considerations Signal tries to tackle? Worst case scenario a bad actor simply enters the chat and backs everything up.
It seems like our threat model is moreso in the way of general surveillance economy concerns (and perhaps to have a slightly less public entry).
In this case, point A and B become even more glaring! Why not something like an E2E encrypted Matrix chat?

"In eight days, the United States and Israel eliminated Iran’s nuclear capabilities with minimal civilian casualties. One of the greatest military achievements ever." — Bill Ackman
Israel killed 55,998 in Gaza Israel killed 15,613 children in Gaza Israel caused 25,000 children in Gaza to be hospitalized for malnutrition by cutting off food aid and supplies. 377,000 ppl are missing in Gaza (Harvard Dataverse - some may be displaced; an area pop. comparison) - when/if verified, these will increase #s killed.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Department deleted messages from its official social media channels that referred to Iranians as 'victims' of bombings, stirring backlash.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday slammed attacks on Iran as “unprovoked” and “unjustified” in a meeting with Tehran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, but did not announce any concrete support to his key ally in the Middle East.
“This absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran is unjustified,” Putin said in televised remarks to Araghchi.
Putin has pitched himself as a mediator between Iran and Israel, an idea rejected by US President Donald Trump last week
Araghchi told Putin that Russia has been a “partner and companion” to Tehran and hailed ties between Tehran and Moscow “very close and longstanding”.
Moscow is a major backer of Tehran, but has not swung forcefully behind its ally since Israel launched a wave of attacks on 13 June.
While Russia condemned the Israeli and US strikes, it has not offered military help and has downplayed its obligations under a sweeping strategic partnership agreement signed with Tehran just months ago
- The US asked Arab officials to convey to Iran that Israel was seeking to end the conflict soon. Iran responded that it was not yet ready to back down, because it 'feels obligated' to respond to the US attack
- Israel is looking to wind down its military campaign against Iran in the coming days. Israeli officials believe they are close to completing their list of targets and hope this will open a path to end the fighting 1/2
- Arab officials say the U.S. has asked them to relay Israel’s desire to de-escalate, but Iran has so far signaled it is not ready to stop, citing the need to respond to the American attacks
Israeli Channel 11
- Israel sent a formal message to Iran saying Tel Aviv wants to "end the war".
Iran responded by saying that the time for ending the war "has not yet come"
Qatar temporarily suspended air traffic around the country, its foreign ministry said Monday, after nearby Iran threatened retaliation for US strikes on its nuclear sites. “The competent authorities announce the temporary suspension of air traffic in the country’s airspace, as part of a set of precautionary measures taken based on developments in the region,” the foreign ministry said. Qatar is home to the United States’ largest base in the region. (Iraqi News) @qatar @iran

Die "Save Social"-Initiative sprach vielen aus der Seele, dass wir uns bessere Soziale Medien (zurück)wünschen. Wo sind wir gelandet und wie bekommen wir gemeinwohlorientiertere Öffentlichkeiten, die nicht in der Hand einzelner Milliardäre und ihrer politischen Agenden sind?
re:publica 25: Save Social - Wie bekommen wir ein besseres Netz?
Ich finde solche Initiativen eigentlich total klasse.
Was ich noch ausbaufähig finde, ist, dass die Diskussion nicht mehr so sehr auf Twitter verengt geführt wird. Die Social-Media-Welt besteht nicht nur aus 𝕏, sondern aus vielen anderen Plattformen, die die Daten ihrer Nutzenden auf viel krassere Art ausschlachten und monetarisieren. re:publica 25: Save Social - Wie bekommen wir ein besseres Netz?

You do realise Iran is direclty supplying weapons to Russia that are used against Ukraine. Did you really expect for Ukraine to side with Iran here? It seems a lot of people are forgetting what a shitty country Iran actually is ...
Israel also supplied Drones to Russia after the Crimea invasion, didn't join sanctions and as reported by an Ukrainian official demanded Ukraine to surrender behind closed doors.
Now with the US getting itself dragged into another Iraq style war by Israel, Ukraine could suffer in two major ways:
Western military aid will be cut short in favor of Israel and US
The rising energy prices will lead to Russia's strained warchest to replenish and could even lead to EU countries easing sanctions to buy oil and gas from Russia again.
Ukraine is being played by the US and Israel but either plays along because Zelensky is high on Zionism or because Ukraine by now is owned by the US and he has to say everything Trump wants him to say. Either way this is bad for the Ukrainian people and it is delusional to think that anyone in the West would feel emboldened now to bomb Russia.
Israel also supplied Drones to Russia after the Crimea invasion, didn't join sanctions and as reported by an Ukrainian official demanded Ukraine to surrender behind closed doors.
This is clear whataboutism. Iran and Israel can both be bad. Ukraine wants max pressure on the Russian war machine. So they cheer the weakening of a Russian military supplier. They also probably figure that if America is itching to fight again, it might as well help them out. They also probably sense the news cycle further shifting away from Ukraine and are trying to bring themselves into the conversation.
This right here is why I've always laughed at the concept of "energy independence" through domestic oil extraction. The US produces much more oil than it uses. The oil coming out of the straight of Hormuz is not coming to the US. However, oil is a global commodity and the price goes up or down for everyone.
No, but the gas you out in your car came from oil imported from Canada. The best way to ensure energy independence is installing solar and wind farms across the US, but the people that scream the loudest about oil prices are against that too
Solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, even natural gas would all be independent from international conflicts. Obviously, if your goal is an energy transition, pivoting into fossil fuels is brain dead, but that seems like what we're doing.

@Max_Imum I've been growing tobacco for a few years now. It's incredibly easy to grow. These are from seeds I grew last year and they were from seeds from the year before. Kratom is next on my list. I need to do another run of poppies next year for more seeds.
The Trump administration's plans to convert some 50,000 civil servants into at-will employees has some worried that essential government functions will be politicized.
Lyrics Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year To save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year To save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance But you still catch my eye Tell me, baby Do you recognize me? Well, it's been a year It doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it With a note saying "I love you" I meant it Now I know what a fool I've been But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year To save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year To save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room Friends with tired eyes I'm hiding from you And your soul of ice My god, I thought you were someone to rely on Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man under cover, but you tore me apart Now I've found a real love. You'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year To save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year To save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart I gave you my heart A man under cover, but you tore him apart Maybe next year I'll give it to someone— I'll give it to someone special
Special Someone Someone I'll give it to someone— I'll give it to someone special
Who give me something in return I'll give it to someone— Hold my heart and watch it burn I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone— I'll give it to someone special
I thought you were here to stay How could you love me for a day I thought you were someone special
Gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone— I'll give it to someone—
Last Christmas I gave you my heart You gave it away
US farmers face a tough outlook as China's imports of various US agricultural products plummeted in May.
The trade war and China's concerns about the long-term relationship with the US could have deep implications for global supply chains and the US farm sector.
Capitalism is when the guy who builds a social media app and shares it freely with the world gets next to nothing for their effort while the fascist convicted criminal who uses their work makes billions.
Please, tell me again how capitalism breeds innovation. All it breeds are greedy psychopathic parasites (aka billionaires).
(Trump’s Truth Social is built on Mastodon which is licensed under AGPL. You should all continue pressuring them to keep releasing the source.)
Ayn Rand's book, "Atlas Shrugged," is supposed to convince us that greedy sociopaths who own everything could bring the world to a halt if they all stopped working. Frankly, I wish they'd just get out of the way and, until they do, maybe it's all the rest of us who should go on strike.
Open social media software enables all users alike, the ones who want to genuinely connect with other people on the left hand, and on the right hand, the ones who want to scam as much as they can out of NPCs just for a higher score carved into their grave marker. They each benefit from the same work, but one side tends to kick back more to the toolmakers.
But that's not capitalism. The only innovation capitalism breeds is how to capture more of the consumer benefit of trade.
The AGPLv3 doesn't require making the source code publicly available - only providing it to the users that it does the computation of.
If there is a refusal to provide the corresponding source to such users, that is a case of copyright infringement, which the copyright holders can respond to by permanently terminating the license.
@Suiseiseki The guy is a complete idiot. Truth Social does provide it's source code to both it's Mastodon and Soapbox forks. It's just that they don't put them in Git (or any other version control) repositories, only as downloadable ZIP files.
