i don't think enough people realize that when you make a phone call to someone else, the other phone literally stops what it is doing and makes a noise and shakes, it's very distracting, please do not make phone calls
@drchaos In fact, I keep my smartphone turned off unless I explicitly need it for a specific purpose. I check for important email, vm, etc. at intervals.
@nanook @ernestoDuracelli @lauren I cannot talk for the op, but I'm not buying a tablet because they are way too big for me.
Unfortunately my 7" tablet has a bad battery and is... ancient (for such a device, and slow, and actually an Intel device). The thing is that size is an issue. Phones are getting too big to put in my pockets, and tablets are too big. Maybe I'll convert an e-reader (or actually get a cheap phablet). Though a tablet would just be a "nice to have" now.

the palestine chronicle published this article with a photo that is allegedly a screen grab from a photo of the iranian attack on al-udeid air base in qatar.
from whati saw reportrd, no missiles landed in qatar, they were all destroyed in the air. Also, that is a distinctive skyline, maybe compare it with a search to verify where it was. I remember a drone strike landing in a former american base in iraq.....
@doublemonkeyfun thats definitely not iraq. both trump and qatar said one missile landed, the iranians claimed 6. so i think 1 hitting is fair to assume.
it might be somewhere outside the middle east if the skyline doesn't match qatar. Some people were posting images from the ukraine claiming it was iran.
they're usually good. it's a small entity. i don't think malice or disinformation is at play here, and literally all outlets have shared some type of crap in the past. that being said, always double check important information.
As Prime Minister, Rutte was known for forgetting things ('I do not have an active memory of that') and for deleting text messages from his phone ('It does not have enough memory').
There are people here defending Rutte, saying flattery is needed to keep Trump 'on our side'. For me, there are legal and moral limits to such tactics, and ignoring international law is one of those. Also, when you keep telling a bully he's the greatest, he'll take his bullying to the next level.
Blowing up NATO's foundation, right before its Summit:
"Trump refused to give a clear commitment to NATO’s Article 5 — its collective defense clause — as he departed for The Hague, raising fresh concerns about his stance on one of NATO’s core princi…
Further making a fool of himself & NATO, and emboldening the bully, Rutte now called Trump 'daddy'...
Your daddy supports genocide, bombs Iran while negotiating, betrays Ukraine, holds razzias in the US, ignores Supreme Court rulings, kills climate action. Get a spine.

Dutch media frame Rutte's shameful behavior towards Trump ("We really loved your bombs on Iran, daddy!") as successful. Because European NATO members agreed they'll spend "5%" of GDP on defense (let's wait and see) and Trump firmly recommitted to Article 5 (in your dreams).
I don't think many of former Trump employees or collaborators who did his dirty work can boast that he stood by them when their dirty hands landed them in trouble. So getting him on our side won't help us on the long term, probably not even in the short term.
this is absolutely insane. we absolutely must free ourselves of US protection, we cannot be dependent on sending that kind of narcissistic bait to a madman for survival.
this is clearly sarcasm that mocks the infantile American President, so explicitly that it would be obvious to an average person, but he will be too simple and too narcissistic to appreciate. Right?
The other option, Trump made up the message and Rutte didn't have the guts to tell the word Trump is a liar (that may break up NATO), could also be true.
Especially as we know Rutte has a hard time having 'active memories' of facts.

#Smooth-Operator by @SadeSME performed by The #Graystones (4 min) March 14, 2025 #TheGraystones #music #video We love Sade... and Smooth Operator is such an iconic song. Her voice is so effortless and silky and the groove is great. We worked really hard on this song to get it right. We hope you enjoy it!
(We wanted to say that the audio in our live performances is overwhelmingly live and, on many videos, is 100% live. To some select songs, we may add layers of sound, such as harmonies or string parts. But the original live sound as the foundation for our videos, and then we might decide to add/replace some parts, if we feel it would help to bring the song even closer to the original that we’re honoring - but always in service of the art! With love, The Graystones)

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) filed an article of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday, accusing the president of failing to notify or seek authorization from Congress before the U.S. launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.
The resolution alleges “abuse of presidential powers by disregarding the separation of powers—devolving American democracy into authoritarianism by unconstitutionally usurping Congress’s power to declare war.”
“President Trump’s unilateral, unprovoked use of force without congressional authorization or notice constitutes an abuse of power when there was no imminent threat to the United States, which facilitates the devolution of American democracy into authoritarianism,” Green’s resolution reads.
Congress has the sole power to “declare war” under the Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution. Presidents of both parties have struck adversaries without approval from the legislature.
Pretty easy to argue this comes under 'official duties' too. Surely there's a thousand other reasons he could be impeached that would stick.
I agree they'll never get the votes to pass anything, but they should keep doing it anyway. Flood the zone back at these arseholes and put them on the back foot.

What is your reasoning for not just using capital letters where grammar requires it? I agree with OP, it makes it very annoying to read the way it is now.
I've got a buddy who texts like this. It's madness, but I love him and texts are short. I didn't realize the ability to write like this long form. It's just a style, but it makes it hard as hey for me to actually get my brain to not just error out and quit is all. This isn't a blog for anyone though, it's for you so you do you!
Yes, actually! I love Knifepoint Horror, but I can't ever read any of the books because the tell-tale signs of readability weren't there and it breaks my brain. I can read all caps fine though.
not familiar, though i'm not much of a horror guy myself
i'm gonna assume based on context it's the kind of work my senior-year english teacher would have spent two classes having us discuss the meaning behind the punctuation (or lack thereof) and capitalization, with my attention divided between [i have redacted this for several reasons...]

You'll do well, just keep fostering your voice, skills and more of that purposeful consumerism. I'd like to read more about your phone, so I hope you share it some time.
Also horror sucks, I just love it. Don't worry about it.
Oh yeah, of course! I hope to see it, but I update by the hour so who the hell knows if I will. Either way best of luck. I often remember fucking up is just part of the learning process. So if you break something, just learn from it. When you make your first public phone, I'll line up.
Yeah, sorry, that came a bit harsh. I'm just a bit salty, because i dislike monospace and white-on-black for reading. But i'm working on something, that lets the user choose the reading settings. In the meantime, i just create a usercss (Stylus) for pages i see often.
But that's another reason i'm salty; please don't do * {…} CSS hacks. Just set the rule on body, because children inherit, if not set otherwise. And * is the worst for performance, use the rightmost selector instead.
no problem! i'm frequently described as "abrasive" so i guess what goes around comes around...
i do appreciate the CSS tip(s) -- that stylesheet is a few years old with many alterations over time, so there are bunch of weird hacks that i'm not even sure why they're there. off the top of my head, for some reason the header is a div-within-a-div: #header and #header_internal. no idea why. 😛
It seems like you updated your webpage in the wake of the meme incident. But it has made it unbearable to read. Whilst I was able to read the article in reader mode, the ~ page is virtually an eye sore to browse right now.
Yes. But also, I don’t care about the resolution. What Trump did was flatly unconstitutional already. More legislation making it “more illegal” is bad obfuscation. The real resolution is called impeachment.
@Simplicator The resolution is a piece of it that Hakeem SHOULD back. It's Constitutional. But AIPAC bought him so he could back #GenocideJoe and his extra-Congressional efforts to fund and arm Israel's genocide and war crimes. That's why we have Trump. Because of second rate corrupt assholes like Jeffries and neoliberal warmongering assholes like Biden.

1. LIE BIG Big lies work better than small because the masses won't believe that anyone would lie "about that."
2. FOCUS Don't make it complicated, ignore history, keep it simple for simple minds.
3. REPEAT People cannot tell the difference between facts and familiarity. If they hear the same words repeated enough, they become true in their minds.
4. BLAME Never credit the other side, always blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize.
5. PROVOKE Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powerful than reason, logic, or facts.
6. CRISIS Issues must be life or death, good vs evil, love vs hate, us vs them. Urgency defeats objection.
7. EMOTION A person might question facts, but they will never question their own feelings. Go emotional.
8. PANDER Ignore reasonable arguments, demonize all who disagree as having bad intentions.
9. NO LIMITS Morality is for losers. The victor's morality will not be questioned. No limits.

QUE RETENIR DES 12 JOURS DE CONFRONTATION ENTRE L’IRAN ET ISRAËL ? Infos Brutes- 24/06/25
La confrontation inédite entre l’Iran et Israël aura duré près de deux semaines, marquant une rupture majeure dans la dynamique régionale. Le cessez-le-feu, initié par les États-Unis, témoigne de la volonté israélienne d’éviter une désavantageuse guerre d'usure. Cette initiative reflète en réalité un signal d'essoufflement d’Israël. Mais que nous enseignent réellement ces douze jours d’échanges de frappes ?
Sur le plan politique interne iranien
L’attaque israélienne, justifiée par le prétexte nucléaire, n’a pas affaibli la République islamique. Au contraire, elle a consolidé la cohésion nationale. Face à l’agression, le peuple iranien a resserré les rangs autour du régime, démontrant que la capacité de résistance d’une Nation repose avant tout sur l’unité de son peuple.
Sur le plan technologique – Iran
L’Iran a pu tester grandeur nature ses missiles balistiques à longue portée. Au-delà de la démonstration de puissance, c’est une opportunité d’ajustement technique. L’expérience de terrain servira à perfectionner ces armes, à les rendre plus précises et potentiellement plus dissuasives à l’avenir.
Sur le plan technologique – Israël
La supériorité technologique israélienne, longtemps considérée comme un acquis, a été sérieusement mise à rude épreuve. Malgré la présence du Dôme de Fer, des systèmes avancés de défense antimissile et la puissance de son aviation, les missiles iraniens ont percé les « rideaux de protection » et atteint des cibles stratégiques, ébranlant la confiance dans ces boucliers.
Des décennies d’assassinats ciblés de scientifiques iraniens n’auront pas empêché l’Iran de maîtriser la technologie nucléaire. Les bombardements israéliens, en partie aveugles, n’ont pas détruit les capacités et le savoir-faire nucléaires de l’Iran. La centrale nucléaire de Bushehr n'a pas été touchée et l'incertitude demeure sur l'efficacité des frappes sur les infrastructures souterraines. Pire encore, le stock d'uranium hautement enrichi dissimulé ne finira pas de hanter Tel-Aviv.
L’image d’invincibilité d’Israël en sort affaiblie. Pour la première fois, un État souverain a revendiqué et exécuté des frappes en profondeur sur le territoire israélien avec un lourd bilan humain et des dégâts considérables. Cette brèche stratégique aura un impact durable sur la perception de la superpuissance militaire d'Israël.
Sur le plan tactique – Iran
L’Iran s’attellera désormais à renforcer considérablement ses systèmes de défense aérienne. L’investissement dans des technologies hypersoniques et furtives deviendra une priorité, tout comme la dissimulation accrue des infrastructures militaires stratégiques pour renforcer sa dissuasion et sa capacité de projection.
Sur le plan de la retenue iranienne
Malgré sa capacité à infliger des dégâts considérables, l’Iran a fait preuve de retenue stratégique. Il aurait pu viser la centrale nucléaire de Dimona ou les installations de dessalement, provoquant une catastrophe humanitaire et écologique. Ce choix délibéré de ne pas franchir certaines lignes rouges montre une volonté de ne pas provoquer une guerre totale.
Bien que la Russie et la Chine aient ouvertement condamné les frappes israéliennes, leur soutien concret se veut plus discret. La présence de scientifiques russes sur certains sites iraniens suggère une collaboration étroite dans le nucléaire et le militaire. Les missiles iraniens devenus subitement performants prouvent l'efficacité de la coopération militaire et technologique avec la Russie, la Chine, la Corée du Nord et le Pakistan.
La situation ramène paradoxalement le dossier nucléaire iranien à son point de départ: la voie diplomatique. L’Iran se retrouve en position de force pour relancer les négociations avec ses conditions ou, au contraire, accélérer discrètement sa transition vers le nucléaire militaire, s'il est considéré par Téhéran comme seule garantie de sécurité face à des menaces existentielles.
Sur le plan militaire israélien
Habitué à affronter des groupes non étatiques comme le Hezbollah ou le Hamas, Israël découvre les limites de sa stratégie face à un État organisé, disposant de moyens balistiques conséquents. L’option militaire perd de son attractivité stratégique, et la confiance dans les systèmes d’alerte précoce et de défense est sérieusement entamée.
Sur le plan des pertes humaines et matérielles
Malgré une communication strictement contrôlée par Tel-Aviv, de nombreux observateurs remettent en question le bilan humain en raison de l’ampleur des dégâts. L'étendue des destructions à Haïfa, Tel-Aviv ou Beersheba , associée aux indemnisations civiles et au coût des interceptions, pèsera lourdement sur l'économie israélienne, même avec le soutien américain.
Sur le plan de la politique intérieure israélienne
#Netanyahou a momentanément renforcé sa position en détournant l’attention de ses ennuis judiciaires et à se maintenir au pouvoir. Mais l’opinion publique, d’abord favorable à l’attaque, pourrait basculer face aux limites révélées par la riposte iranienne. La paix avec les voisins s'imposera désormais comme une option crédible.
Sur le rapport de force régional
Cette confrontation aura des effets durables sur l’équilibre régional. Les États arabes observeront avec attention la capacité d’un État comme l’Iran à tenir tête militairement à Israël. Cela pourrait redessiner les alliances, refroidir certaines normalisations diplomatiques, et réactiver des dynamiques de dissuasion nucléaire au #Moyen-Orient.
Sur le plan du droit international
L’agression israélienne contre l’ #Iran, sans justification reconnue par le droit international, viole la Charte des Nations unies. Pourtant, les États occidentaux n’ont ni condamné cette action ni rappelé les principes de souveraineté. En invoquant une « guerre préventive » — non reconnue juridiquement — pour justifier l’attaque, ils valident un double standard. Or selon leur propre définition, les États qui ne respectent pas le droit international sont qualifiés d'«États voyous».
et personne ne parle JAMAIS des bombes nucléaires israélienne estimées entre 60 et 300 ogives selon wikipédia ni que c'est la France qui a aidé Israël à démarrer ses recherches sur le nucléaire dans les années 50-60
Instead of pursuing sane policies such as reindustrializing Canada by creating crown corps, and improving relations with China as a counter balance against the US, Carney predictably chose to appease Trump instead.
Yet, after all the grovelling he did, Trump is still going to fuck him over. Neoliberals are the dumbest people to walk this earth.

a bit misleading does that mean they had sex convictions that were already adjudicated or new one unresolved? what were the details on the so called pedophilia? were they consensual?
The attack on Iran was a reckless, criminal act of aggression by both the U.S. and Israel and it will have profound ramifications that will echo for decades to come.
While he was in college, my son came home for summers and holidays and the occasional weekend. Still it was melancholic, watching him drive off to return to school.

Um, no. Ross Scott, the organizer of this whole thing, said that it will most likely fail. Meaning that there's still a chance of success, not that he's completely given up. The deadline for the European Citizens Initiative is 31st July, more than a month from now.

It is usable from Linux Mint live boot, even with only 4GB memory. Not sure how it will work with Windows 11 (though I may upgrade to 16GB if Windows ends up staying on it).
The A6-4400M CPU isn't that powerful. It could be upgraded to an A8 or A10, but I don't think I have one of those lying around.
This laptop is perfectly fine for retro or minimal type tasks, but would struggle a bit what is expected out of laptops today (as least without upgrades).
I have customers who want laptops under $200 - this certainly would fit that requirement.
Yeah, Windows 11 isn't going to perform very well on this dual core AMD A6-4400M. CPU is at 100% for about half an hour and Windows Updates are still not done.
It'd work okay, but not great. Upgrading the CPU in this laptop to a quad-core A8 or A10 would help a bit.
