IDF probe: Hamas force of 35 gunmen overwhelmed Israeli outpost near Gaza on October 7 haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-0…

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesman confirmed Tuesday that five Iranians were arrested while attempting to illegally cross the U.S. northern border with Canada.

"On July 1, Border Patrol Agents from the Champlain, New York Station, responded to suspicious activity near Mooers Forks, NY," CBP's Swanton Sector said on Facebook. "Agents located a minivan occupied by five citizens of Iran and two citizens of Uzbekistan."

Looking for an alternative to google wallet, when it’s the default option to download a German travel card.


I now reside in Germany and my current employer pays 50% of this so called Deutschland-Job-Ticket. There is no physical card but travel information you download to an android wallet, but apparently google wallet is the only available option. See the picture:

Google is a company I don’t trust with my data, neither do I expect your regular public transportation authority employee to care about his privacy (he looked at me as I was asking if 2 + 2 equal 4). I am not aware of non google based wallets where I can download the travel information.

I tried some f-droid and droidify options but it turns out they’re pure crap.

The site: abo.ride-ticketing.de/app/ I log in with my username and password, get my travel information and on the bottom the picture I uploaded.

Any workarounds?

This being Germany, shouldn’t there be an alternative to those who refuse google? Don’t I have that right as a consumer?

Another question: I screenshot my logged in session on the link I provided where you see my qr code and my billing data. The public transportation employee told me that’s not allowed (wtf?). Can anyone here provide a rationale?

I know android is minimally related to linux and the question doesn't resemble a typical question for a linux forum but each time I've asked here you've provided valuable information:

As far as I remember, things other than credit/debit cards in Google Wallet are pretty much images that you can scan like you would a paper ticket. Maybe download that ticket somehow — if some other app provides the same android "activity" as Google Wallet (so it shows up in "Open WIth" menu when you clicj that button), you can use it to avoid Google completely. If it's hardcoded to use Google Wallet, make a separate account just for this ticket. Then just open the ticket in the app, take a screenshot, and use your favorite gallery app to scan it in at ticket gates.

I'm using fWallet for Eurostar, plane tickets, etc anything with PkPass. Very minimalist, just does the job.

Anyone else getting a weird error in #FDroid when trying to update your repos today?

I'm seeing a little bottom-of-the-screen text popup (I don't know what they're called in #Android) that says "F-Droid: not nullable: icon"

Huh? ;)

It happens in both my main profile and my work profile, so it's probably not a configuration thing.

This piece by Trend Micro is amusing:

trendmicro.com/en_us/research/…

It's billed as new research into Copilot with a new vulnerability.

It's not. It's old, and patched.

Trend essentially stole it from Aim Security, a competitor, didn't mention them or link the research, and used generative AI to write half the article.

It then calls for collaborative AI research (lol) and tries to sell their own products as the solution, despite having no link.

Tour de France : violente répression de la dénonciation du blanchiment des crimes d’Israël par le sport


Depuis le départ du Tour de France, le 5 juillet, les militantes et militants présents pacifiquement sur le parcours pour dénoncer la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course et pour exprimer un soutien au peuple palestinien ont été victimes de violences policières inédites et particulièrement graves. À Lille, le 5 juillet, des citoyens et citoyennes, membres de l’Association France Palestine Solidarité, qui manifestaient pacifiquement ont été nassé·es, contrôlé·es et fouillé·es. Des drapeaux rangés dans des sacs ont été saisis par des policiers en armes … À Caen, le 9 juillet, d’autres membres de l’AFPS ont été gazés et jetés à terre. Une banderole a été lacérée de coups de couteaux et détruite, des drapeaux palestiniens ont été volés ainsi que des keffiehs tandis que d’autres objets personnels ont disparu. Des policiers qui se sont livrés à ces violences ont affirmé qu’ils avaient reçu la consigne qu’aucun drapeau ou marque de soutien à la Palestine ne soit visible sur le parcours du Tour de France. À Flers, le 10 juillet, une dizaine de militant-es se sont vu interpellés et là aussi des drapeaux palestiniens ont été confisqués au prétexte que « le port de signes religieux est interdit lors de compétitions sportives ».

Ainsi, la complicité du gouvernement avec les crimes d’Israël éclate au grand jour. Ce gouvernement qui utilise les forces de l’ordre pour faire taire tout soutien à la cause palestinienne tout en assurant la tranquillité des propagandistes d’Israël. Il a été en effet révélé que des escortes policières mobiles et huit agents des forces de l’ordre entourent chaque jour le périmètre autour de l’équipe israélienne, armes au poing.

Cette connivence dans la répression a permis à Sylvan Adams, le patron de cette équipe qui soutient ouvertement l’expulsion des Palestiniens de leurs terres de se féliciter de n’avoir vu aucun drapeau palestinien sur le Tour de France.

Alors que les massacres et les horreurs se poursuivent quotidiennement à Gaza et dans toute la Palestine, ces violences policières à l’encontre de celles et ceux qui dénoncent pacifiquement le génocide en cours sont injustifiables et inacceptables. Il est révoltant de constater que le gouvernement de la France vend impunément du matériel de guerre à un régime génocidaire et dans le même temps réprime les personnes qui en dénoncent les crimes.

L’AFPS dénonce avec la plus grande fermeté l’attitude du gouvernement français et de la police sous ses ordres. Elle assure les militantes et militants agressé·es aussi injustement de son plus chaleureux soutien.

L’AFPS tient également à affirmer sa détermination à poursuivre la dénonciation de la complicité de génocide du gouvernement français et des organisateurs du Tour de France par le blanchiment des crimes d’Israël à travers la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course.

On ne nous fera pas taire !

I’m pretty good rebuilding shit, but these two cycle Walbro carburetors are a pain. They made thousands of variations. I can’t even find what rebuild kit number mine needs. My blower stalls once started and you hit the gas. Hoses are good. I’ve tried rebuilding these fuckers and it seems to be a time waster. Some ports you have to remove a “Welch plug” to clean out. Good luck sealing the new one with “nail polish”. I hate these carbs. 😡

“The Trump administration has urged the Supreme Court to reject an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and former associate of Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell, 63, is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Florida for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.

Her lawyers had asked the court to review her conviction, arguing she was protected under a 2008 non-prosecution agreement Epstein struck with prosecutors in Florida.”

Schiff accused of Mortgage Fraud

On Tuesday, Trump posted a message calling Schiff a “scam artist” and alleging that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division had uncovered a “sustained pattern of possible mortgage fraud”...

...Schiff falsely reported his Maryland residence as his primary home to secure a mortgage with more favorable terms...

Trump’s allegations also draw comparisons to mortgage fraud accusations against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

After over 30 years on this planet, I finally overcame my fear of putting my hands in the oven. So yes. I woke up my apartment's oven which hasn't been activated since I moved in two years ago and put in.... crab cakes. It was so simple. Just wait 20 minutes and boom! Time to eat. What a marvelous invention. Much easier than flipping things on the stove. And with my whimsical turtle oven mitts I bought at the beach a few years back, I barely felt the heat at all. 🙂

Tensions have eased between Australia and China. China accounts for over 40% of Australia's exports. What did we get for ties w/China? Inferior quality, poisoned and leaded products, Covid, Fentanyl dumps, theft of money, military secrets, intellectual property, failed economic policies, propaganda, division, CCP police, riots against citizens, and so on. We're putting a stop to it here, and China must innovate without our help. It will be interesting to watch.
