Niger to nationalize uranium to wrest control over its resource from France.
Accusing French state-owned Orano of illegally extracting a disproportionate share of Uranium, Niger’s government said that nationalization will make way for “optimal enjoyment of the wealth from mining resources by Nigeriens.”

Interesting perspective though I wouldn't trust him in general. "He already sent troops into Los Angeles under the guise of “restoring order.” But I’m hearing it’s just the beginning.

PM Mark Carney has described developing fossil fuel infrastructure as “pragmatic.”
But it’s unclear how a country grappling with abysmal air quality due to wildfires fuelled by global warming will benefit from further fossil fuel development. Deborah de Lange writes.
Rescuers Attempt to Save Tourist Trapped In Active #Volcano » Explorersweb
Rescuers are still trying to reach a Brazilian tourist who fell into the crater of #Indonesia’s 3,726m Mt. Rinjani on Saturday. Juliana Marins, 26, rose before dawn to hike around the rim of the country’s second-largest volcano with a small guided group. But in the early-morning fog, she slipped over the edge of the trail and fell down a cliff into the crater.
Drone footage captured over the previous three days shows her alive and conscious, but rescuers have been unable to reach her.
However, when rescuers descended to that point, they were unable to find her. They called out but received no response and were forced to climb back up to the rim. On Sunday, more drone footage confirmed that she was no longer in her original location.
On Monday morning, authorities found Marins again, even further down the slope. It appears that at some point on Saturday, she slid further down the cliff from where she was perched. Rescuers attempted to reach her again, but stopped a little under halfway down. They were reportedly able to send food and water down to her before retreating.
Everyone involved made a whole bunch of mistakes: The local guide who wasn't anywhere near her when she fell. Whoever never advised her to take her own backpack with at least a few things in it that might have kept her alive. (She had nothing with her at all.) (and though this can't fairly be criticized:) Mistakes which she very probably made through her own inexperience when she was in her original safe position 1000 ft down (see the photo above).
If she'd barely moved a muscle and stayed exactly there, maybe very carefully, inch by inch, digging herself a kind of bucket seat, they'd have reached her the next day and she'd only have had to make it through one bad night.
We'll never know, but I'm guessing she panicked, tried to climb out on her own or change her position, and then fell far further, likely injuring herself badly. There are quite a few signs that the Indonesian rescuers weren't very expert or experienced. Americans, Europeans or Russians would have got her out well within 24 hours. If I'd been i/c the rescue effort, I'd have commandeered a military sea rescue helicopter with a 2000 ft steel cable and winch, and trained operators who could pull anyone out of anything. Nothing like that ever happened. Deaths occur in adventure sports all the time. But the very worst kind are when someone is clearly alive and yelling for help, but for one reason or another just can't be reached or helped in any way. "

TRIBUNE - Pour le colonel Douglas Macgregor, conseiller défense dans la première administration Trump, la décision de rentrer en guerre contre l'Iran pourrait s'avérer fatale à l'empire américain.
Even the EU, which so far has provided full political, economic, military and diplomatic cover to the Israeli regime, admits in a leaked report that Israel is committing every war crime and atrocity in the book, including “indiscriminate attacks” on civilians, “starvation”, “torture” and “apartheid”.

Russia? Full-on cynical thug mode. No pretense, no moral fluff. They bomb, lie, and shrug — and don’t even try to look noble doing it.
The West? Now that’s the real show. Constant smiles, speeches about “values,” “rules-based order,” and “democracy” — while running drone wars, backing shady regimes, and bending the rules whenever it’s convenient.
And that’s what makes it more dangerous: the West actually believes its own(!) moral PR. It plays global sheriff while quietly acting like just another empire — only with better branding and a bigger arsenal

⭕️ Overall developments in Gaza today according to Al-Youm News: "53 Palestinians martyred in ongoing Israeli airstrikes on Gaza since dawn on Monday, 23 June, including 24 who were waiting for humanitarian aid."
○ Southern Gaza:
– 11 killed by Israeli army fire at aid distribution centers west of Rafah.
– 7 bodies recovered from various areas east of Khan Yunis.
– 4 killed in an Israeli strike on a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Mawasi al-Qarara.
– 2 passed away from injuries sustained in a previous strike on Khan Yunis.
China, Indonesia, and South Korea warn of global fallout after US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, urging restraint and diplomatic resolution amid rising tensions.
Today, even that pretence is gone. In Gaza, and now with the strikes on Iran, the gloves are fully off. What we’re witnessing is a regression to a kind of global lawlessness — a “might makes right” free-for-all where nothing is off limits: not the mass slaughter of civilians, not the bombing of nuclear sites, not even the complete sidelining of international institutions. And all of this is happening in the nuclear age — a reality that brings us to the next point.
We have now entered a new phase of Western-led global savagery — prefigured by the genocide in Gaza — in which all pretences have been dropped and only the logic of raw, unrestrained violence remains

The third estate, those of perquisitive classposture, wanted to go back to normal. Wanted to go back to their brunches.
The second estate, those of oligarch classposture, would have continued to find means to extract rents even if we all remained in quarantine in perpetuity.
Until we grapple with the fact that those everyone wants to blame #PublicHealth apologism on, the second estate, in point of fact sequestered wildly more wealth when public health interventions were in effect...
We will continue to spout the comfortable myth that it was some minuscule minority of people who are to blame for those health interventions being abandoned...
Letting the powerful plurality of people who just wanted to go back to having someone serve them at a restaurant...
Continue to behave as if they've nothing to do with any of this.
It wasn't the ultra-wealthy who cheered as they ripped off their masks mid-flight after the captains of airplanes across the country announced the mask mandate for air travel had been lifted.
To lay the end of pandemic measures at the feet of those who weren't and never would be held accountable to commercial airline passenger guidelines, what with their flying in private planes, is puerile fantasy.
Society at large was not going to grieve the interruption of a social contract that equates the burning of disposable income with self redemption. They were going to fly, and eat, and breathe freely, and willfully expose their own children to lifelong harm, confident that they were good people.
Confident that they were untouchable.
They weren't going to grieve, because that would mean feeling bad. And we don't feel bad in this country. Only unhealthy people do that.
Ah--mask mandates were dropped at the behest of biz interests who persuaded asshole Walensky of the CDC and under Biden's direction and ending the Emergency too soon (even as he signed 9/11 Emergency dutifully each year). It came from the top down. Yeah, some assholes like that crap.
Yeah I don't understand your use of perquisites or modeling on the Estates as being much more than sophistry. But then perhaps you're just far too clever for the likes of me. Bye.
Understanding would begin by reading and engaging with what is written, rather than ignoring same and spouting the incessant consensus opinion you tracked in on your boot.
As you've proven unwilling to actually do more than waft those boot scrapings, your leave is welcome.
As Paul Waldman notes, somehow the US got through a couple of hundred years without law enforcement officers needing to cover their faces. Yet suddenly this is the norm for the Trump administration, which claims this is necessary to protect the officers. Why?
"Government agents, especially but not only those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will now wear masks when prowling through American streets, raiding homes and workplaces, snatching people out of their cars, rounding up immigrants or people who look like immigrants, and carting them away in unmarked vehicles."
"This image of masked men ready to do violence is everywhere now, just as the administration wants. The practical purpose is to remove the possibility of accountability, but there’s another message it sends: Unlike even previous iterations of state violence, this is a form of power with which there is no negotiating."
Mientras sufrimos aquí la puta #revetlladesantjoan decir que es otra de esa fiestas que el puto capitalismo también nos ha robado. Cuando era pequeña la Revetlla era una fiesta en el pueblo, ¿con petardos? SI. Pero entonces eran lo que se llamaban piulas y poco más. Y el Ajuntament entonces contrataba una orquesta y se daba más importancia a la fiesta con baile y hogueras en la playa. Ahora el ajuntament se gasta miles de euro del presupuesto (guiño a esas comisiones) en pirotecnia a ver cual petardos más fuerte (sin tener en cuenta a los que sufrimos este horror, claro) y adivinad qué ha desaparecido?. Efectivamente, la orquesta,la música, y la charanga. Añado: todos estos ajuntaments que fueron corriendo a traerse refugiados ucranianos,seguro que se lo pasan genial hoy 😒😒😒 #stoppirotecnia
If you like gaming computers, do those... but cost more to get into the mid-range and higher end.
If you like Linux or retro gaming, there's older computers that are not supported by Windows 11, but will be great for Batocera Linux and add a couple Logitech USB game controllers.
I usually give discounted services on the computers I sell. That way they understand that my time does have value, but I'm giving them a deal for continuing to do business with me.
Yeah for me it's being blamed for anything that ever went wrong on any computer I had ever touched as a teen it was beyond tiresome the irrational stuff I was blamed for.
Setting the terms of the deal up front is a way to avoid that situation.
Sometimes people are unreasonable, but usually not. Question for those types of people would be "If you had bought this from Walmart, would you expect them to give you the kind of service you are demanding from me?"
I have a HP laptop my secondary school gave me because disabilities. When you shake it, it rattles, but it still works. I used to use it for a Minecraft server.
I would use it as a server today but I can't find the power cable and the battery's dead.
Im not totally sure either. I think the message is that a lot of countries / groups wanted something to be done about Iran but while they were discussing it Trump just pulled a leroy jenkins on that shit and now they're mad about it.
It appears that their nuclear weapons program has just been destroyed, where would they get nukes from anytime soon? I suppose Israel and USA could be lying about hitting anything (but not about Iran having a nuclear weapons program), but that doesn't seem that likely.
We have yet to see any country just give their allies nukes, and it doesn't look like any of these countries give half a shit about Iran in the first place.
You can't just make nukes because you want to just like that, it takes a huge amount of resources that's kinda hard to hide from foreign intelligence. Chances are better than even that they were already trying to do that anyway, and it doesn't seem like it has worked out so well for them.
"According to several biographers, #Vladimir #Lenin was intolerant of opposition and often dismissed outright opinions that differed from his own. He could be "venomous in his critique of others", exhibiting a propensity for mockery, ridicule, and ad hominem attacks on those who disagreed with him. He ignored facts that did not suit his argument, abhorred compromise, and very rarely admitted his own errors. He refused to change his opinions, until he rejected them completely, after which he would treat the new view as if it was just as unchangeable. Lenin showed no sign of sadism or of personally desiring to commit violent acts, but he endorsed the violent actions of others and exhibited no remorse for those killed for the revolutionary cause."
Say what you will about #Microsoft #Windows but not once did Microsoft go and uninstall Calibre from my #Windows11 system without my fucking knowledge!
It's happened 5x (that I've noticed) now since December only because I went to launch something I knew for a fact was installed only to discover that it was no longer installed.
It's still better than Windows by a country mile but it's shit like this that really piss me the hell off.
Don't ask me. I used it about a month ago. Went to launch it again today and it was gone. Only I use my workstation, and it's not open/ exposed to the Internet. In fact doing so is damn near impossible since I'm double-nat'd and my ISP uses CG-NAT.
I have no idea. All I know is Calibre was there a month ago and today it wasn't and it's not the first time something like this has happened. More like the 5th time since December when I switched to LinuxMint.
you probably have unattended upgrades running. if there's a package conflict and you have it set to always upgrade, it will remove packages to make it happen as you have specified. but i'm speculating, you have to check if the packages are present and if you have apt configured with auto upgrades.
Not sure what your particular Mint flavor is based on, but the #calibre package still shows in the stable Ubuntu and Debian repos. Is it truly uninstalled or maybe just not launching for some odd reason?
The author recommends downloading from his site:
> Please do not use your distribution provided calibre package, as those are often buggy/outdated. Instead use the Binary install described below
Linux Mint 22.1 Xia. Installed originally via Software Manager. All I know is it was installed a month ago (I used it) and it wasn't installed yesterday. Fortunately when I re-installed it my Calibre database and settings were not removed and everything came back up.
Lefty upstart Zohran Mamdani has leapfrogged over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the city’s ranked choice Democratic primary for mayor, according to a stunning new poll released Monday.
Following the blatant military aggression of the criminal regime of the United States of America against the peaceful nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the clear violation of international law, by the order of the Supreme National Security Council and the leadership of the Central Headquarters of the Rasool Al-Azam, the IRGC with the sacred code of ' Ya Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein' has targeted the Al-Udeid base in Qatar with a devastating and powerful missile attack in Operation Besharat Fatah.
This base is the headquarters of the Air Force and the largest strategic asset of the U.S. terrorist army in the West Asian region.
The message of this decisive action of the sons of the nation in the armed forces is clear and unequivocal for the White House and its allies:
The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on God Almighty, relying on the faithful and famous people of Islamic Iran, will not leave its territorial integrity, sovereignty and national security unanswered under any circumstances.
With the aggression of the American enemy, it became clear to everyone that the evil of the Zionists was an extension of the Americans' design. Accordingly, we remind you that in this national defense, the U.S. bases and mobile military targets in the region are not a point of strength, but rather a major weakness and a thorn in the side of this warmongering regime.
On the eve of the month of Muharram, the month of mourning for the leader and commander of martyrs, Hazrat Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS), we once again warn the enemies of Islamic Iran that the era of hit-and-run is over, and the will of the country's powerful people's armed forces.
Any repetition of U.S. aggression will lead to the acceleration of the collapse of the U.S. military pillars in the region, their ignominious escape from West Asia, and the realization of the common aspiration of the Islamic Ummah and the freedom-loving nations of the world in eradicating the cancerous tumor of Zion.'

No matter what Trump may want, I don't think there's a window for de-escalation unless both Iran and Israel can go 72 hours without attacking the other.
I tried self-hosted AI agents so you don't have to!I wanted to see what options were available and took n8n and ollama for a spin to see what was possible. There are some pointed criticisms about the entire concept, but I can definitely appreciate why people find the idea attractive.
My professional contacts are acting strange. The ones who know that I'm a weak fit for government research are shutting me out. The ones who *don't* know that are desperately reaching out.
There's a stupidly huge number of job postings for DoD contractors. They actually pay industry standard - they usually pay garbage.
I personally suspect that our government is trying to develop some previously inconceivable military technology. I'll call such a secret project "Z," out of ignorance of what it actually is. My discipline is highly specialized, but it's also so broadly applicable that "our government wants CMD to be useful" gives zero fucking information other than "there's a camera of some kind somewhere" which could easily just mean 'we want new face detection tech to keep Z out of our enemy's hands."
The US has been atrocious at keeping secrets for decades. DOGE was obviously a government purge - I suspect that this was actually done to throw out people who our government suspects would leak information about Z. That is, this was a transition from a pseudo-peacetime civil service to a wartime civil service.
Our government is trying to scrape up scientists from the streets right now - if it wasn't, I wouldn't know shit. It cannot find enough suitable scientists to develop Z. That must mean Z is either big enough that it requires a stupidly huge number of scientists, or the US scientific community is full of people unfit to work on Z. I'd suspect it's the latter - American scientists are mostly driven by one of two desires: the desire to publish public research or money.
Patriotism in the scientific community is very low. Unfortunately, the scientists that *do* fill our National Labs are...not the best, nor the brightest. They're usually driven by the desire for a stable job where they don't have to compete...a desire held by incompetent people. They are not *idiots*, but they are undeniably outclassed by the typical university professor, and they are comically outclassed by people selling you ads.
I think we're looking at a second nuke race. I don't know what the next "nuke" is, but whatever it is the US government is trying to make it right now.
