Al-Qassam Targets Occupiers, Vehicles in Top-Tier Op. in Khan Younis, Yemen Continues Missile Attacks


The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced Saturday the execution of a top-tier operation against Zionist occupation forces in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

According to details released by the Brigades, the operation took place on Friday morning near the Directorate of Education in the al-Mahatta area, in central Khan Younis. Resistance fighters stormed a gathering of Zionist soldiers and their military vehicles, the statement added.

As part of the operation, al-Qassam fighters targeted two Merkava tanks using two Shawaz explosive devices, resulting in its crew members being either killed or injured.

In addition to the tanks, the Resistance fighters also struck an armored personnel carrier with a Yassin 105 shell.

When Zionist rescue forces arrived at the scene, they were attacked with light and medium machine gun fire, the Brigades pointed out.

During the operation, al-Qassam fighters observed the landing of helicopters conducting an evacuation that lasted several hours.

The Brigades also reported a second operation on Friday, in which its fighters targeted another Zionist armored personnel carrier using a Yassin 105 shell on al-Bi’ah Street in central Khan Younis.

Al-Quds Brigades documents complex, top-tier operation in al-Shuja’iyya


Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Movement, released footage on Friday documenting a complex and top-tier operation its Resistance fighters conducted on Wednesday in the eastern al-Shuja’iyya neighborhood of Gaza City.

The al-Quds Brigades operation targeted Zionist military vehicles and soldiers, as well as homes where occupation forces had taken cover, engaging in direct confrontations at close range.

The commander of the operation reported that the Zionist soldiers showed no initiative or response, resorting only to screaming and fleeing without returning significant fire toward the Resistance fighters.

He added that the fighters encountered charred bodies of officers and soldiers, confirming that 40 Zionist soldiers were either killed or wounded, and stated that the occupation continues to lie and conceal its losses as it always does.

Yemen launches ballistic missile in solidarity


Zionist air defenses scrambled to intercept a ballistic missile launched from Yemen over occupied Palestine early Sunday.

At 2:45 am (local time), the Zionist military command warned that a missile was launched from Yemen, later announcing that its air defenses successfully intercepted it. Sirens sounded in settlements in the southern occupied West Bank as well as some settlements near the Dead Sea.

The strike comes as Yemen reiterates its military support for Gaza, vowing continued operations until the aggression ends.

Yemenis affirm their continued support for Palestine


On Friday, the Yemeni governorates of Saadah, Raymah, and Marib witnessed massive rallies in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance and in solidarity with the Gaza Strip under the slogan: “Steadfast with Gaza, prepared and mobilized in the face of aggression.”

Participants raised slogans affirming Yemen’s unwavering support for Palestine, in light of the ongoing Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, emphasized the continuation of the Yemeni ban on Zionist shipping, affirming its success and praising Yemen’s ability to continue the battle.

I do find it interesting that most of the references to greek homosexuality come from one group talking about their rivals. Spartans called the Athenians boy lovers and the Athenians said the same thing about the Spartans. almost as if it was meant as an insult

Harvard trying to choose the path that punishes people who oppose genocide while at the same time fighting off the Trump admin's attack on academic freedoms is a remarkable effort at squaring two completely adversarial roles.

Here's the commencement speech by Zehra Imam from Harvard Divinity School. The speech Harvard censored.

All major US institutions have betrayed the values America pretended to stand for.

Yet while institutions like Harvard act in cowardice, some who attended it, like Zehra Imam, still see the world with moral clarity and act with courage in service of truth & real justice.

FreeOffice isn't open source. It's available as a deb or an RPM, or a basic archive. No Flatpak, Snap or Appimage, though.

FreeOffice does word processing, creating spreadsheets, and presentations. FreeOffice aims to be as compatible with MS Office as can be. FreeOffice gives you a choice between the classic menubar + toolbar combo, and the ribbon interface that MS office uses.

In terms of Office compatibility, I tried a few complex templates, and there seem to be a few issues on word documents, with header images not being in the right place, and elements being moved where they don't belong.

FreeOffice is free of charge to download, but the free version does lack a few features.

You probably all know about Libreoffice. It has a word processor, a spreadsheet module, a presentation app, but also a flowchart /diagram editor that also doubles as a PDF editor, and a database module comparable to Microsoft Access.

It's completely open source, doesn't cost a dime, and is installable in virtually every way you'd ever want: deb, rpm, flatpak, snap, appimage, you name it.

LibreOffice is compatible with the opendocument format, but also with MS office formats. The compatibility with openXML formats, like docx, xlsx or pptx isn't 100% perfect though.

In terms of interface, LibreOffice is super customizable: not only can it pick up your GTK or Qt theme, but you can also change its icons in the settings, and change how the interface looks and feels. By default, it uses the older menubar + toolbar layout, but you can change that into a ribbon interface, a simplified ribbon, a grouped bar, a sidebar, basically you can do whatever you want, and customize each toolbar to add or remove what you want.

There's another open source office suite for Linux, and that's OnlyOffice. It only offers the 3 basic modules: word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. It's free to download and open source, and comes as a deb, an RPM, a flatpak, an appimage, or a snap package, so anyone can get it.

OnlyOffice supports the Microsoft OpenXML document format, as well as the opendocument format that Libreoffice defaults to, and the older proprietary office formats as well. Compatibility seems better than FreeOffice, and LibreOffice, at least with my test templates. It actually seems pretty much identical to how MS office renders the same document.

In terms of interface, Onlyoffice isn't as customizable as LibreOffice: you only get a ribbon interface, and you can't change what's displayed in each toolbar. The ribbon will use a dedicated color for each program, if you use the light theme, so they're still easy to differentiate. Onlyoffice also supports interface scaling, with factors ranging from 100% to 200% with 25% increments.

Now we come to another non open source office suite, WPS Office. You get a word processor, a spreadsheet module, and a presentation module, and you also get a PDF viewer. It offers deb and RPM packages, and it's also available on flathub, and as a snap.

In terms of compatibility, WPS opens older office docs, newer office docs, as well as their own format. Compatibility seems good, at least with openXML formats, although a little bit less perfect than OnlyOffice. It should be good enough for most people.
