Misstänkt näringspenningtvätt för nära en halv miljard kronor. Ekobrottsmyndigheten (EBM) genomförde under tisdagen den 24 september ett tillslag på flera platser i Stockholm och Lettland.

Nordiska länder har klartlagt onlinebedrägerier. De nordiska ländernas polismyndigheter har kartlagt aktörer som begår bedrägerier på nätet, och tagit fram en plan för att hantera och stoppa dem. Polisen i Sverige kallr det hela för ett krafttag mot onlinebedrägerier. Men hur det skulle vara ett krafttag att kartlägga saker begriper jag inte. Det är möjligen en förutsättning för att det ska kunna blir krafttag mot bedrägeribrottsligheten.
Holy Hell, The Social Web Did Not Begin In 2008
Some folks have gotten themselves together as something they’re calling the Social Web Foundation, and I’ll cut to the chase: this is an attempt by ActivityPub partisans to rebrand the confusing “fediverse” terminology, and in the process, regardless of intent, shit on everything else that’s been the social web going back twenty-five years.

Experts Say Young People Should Learn to Code so They Can Get a Job 10 Years Ago
NEW YORK — A recent poll of experts showed broad consensus that learning to code is the easiest way for Americans to remain competitive while…Travis Tack (Hard Drive)
For the first time ever Hezbollah fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv, reaching the furthest distance into the occupation to date. David’s slingshot, the Zionists medium tier air defense system, intercepted the missile. Each missile costs the regime one million dollars.
A single one of these missiles from Hezbollah force 1.2 million settlers into shelters. Zionist sources estimate Hezbollah has approximately 5,000 of these missiles.
The previous day, Hezbollah carried out 18 attacks on the entity.
The Resistance group said it targeted the Kiryat Shmona settlement with a barrage of rockets, resulting in fires according to Zionist media. Firefighting teams were dispatched to the area in an attempt to extinguish the fires.
Hezbollah also struck the Meggido military airbase west of Afula – north of Jenin – three times throughout the early hours of the day with salvos of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets.
Additionally, in a strategic operation, the Resistance announced targeting with Fadi rockets the Zionist base, which is the occupation army’s main transport and logistical support base for the northern region.
Around 60 km deep into northern occupied Palestine, in the Zichron area, Hezbollah targeted a factory specializing in producing explosives, with two seperate barrages of Fadi 2 rockets.
The Resistance also announced that it has struck the Ramat David airbase, which has been under repeated Hezbollah strikes over the past two days due its key role in launching the airstrikes on Lebanon.
Furthermore, the group targeted the logistical warehouses of the 146th Brigade at the Naftali base.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah announced a significant attack targeting the Zionist naval elite unit Shayetet 13 in the Atlit base, located south of Haifa. This marks Hezbollah’s 18th statement on the day’s operations.
The Islamic Resistance underlined that the assault involved a swarm of drones that had struck Zionist assembly points within the base. The Resistance underlined that the UAVs had struck their intended targets.
Hezbollah underlined that the operation was a direct response to the occupation’s aggression on Gaza and Lebanon, stressing that it was in support of the people of Gaza and their Resistance, as well as in defense of Lebanon and its citizens.
The targeted unit is known as the occupation’s elite naval force, ranking as a top-tier special unit within the occupation forces. It is regarded as one of the three most pivotal special forces among the ranks of the occupation, serving a pivotal role in reconnaissance operations.
Zionist media outlets reported that air raid sirens were sounded in both Atlt and Neve Yam, the first time in five years such alarms had been sounded in these areas.
Hezbollah’s drones reached an unprecedented depth within the occupied Palestinian territories, according to reports. The Atlit base, located on the Mediterranean coast, lies 12 kilometers south of Haifa.
This attack follows a series of similar high-profile operations conducted by Hezbollah in northern occupied Palestine, most notably the missile strike on the Samson base using the newly inaugurated Fadi-3 rockets, which saw the light of day following the recent outbreak of hostilities.
Hezbollah launched 50 rockets targeting the Dado base, the headquarters of the Northern Command, and the Gesher HaZiv settlement with multiple rocket salvos.
Prior to this, Hezbollah also shelled the Rosh Pina settlement and fired dozens of missiles at the main storage facilities of the occupation’s Northern Command in the Nimra base, as well as the HaGoshrim and Katzrin settlements with rocket barrages.
The military spokesman confirmed that 300 rockets had been launched from Lebanon toward northern occupied Palestine on Tuesday alone. Zionist media described the barrage of rockets over Safed as “chaotic.”
Despite heavy Zionist bombardments of villages in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, Hezbollah has continued to expand its missile strikes deeper into Israeli-occupied territories.
Inauguration of Fadi-3
Hezbollah announced on Tuesday that it had launched Fadi-3 rockets at the Samson base. In a statement, Hezbollah explained that the Samson base serves as a command and regional equipment center.
This marks the first deployment of the Fadi-3 rocket in the ongoing war, striking the Samson Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS) near the Golani Junction, west of occupied Lake Tabarayya.
The Samson base is located approximately 35 kilometers from the Lebanese border.
Zionist sources further noted the sounding of sirens across northern occupied Palestine, with Hezbollah firing 105 rockets toward the region in an hour and a half.
These strikes follow a series of earlier operations by Hezbollah, including the bombardment of the Eliakim military camp, located south of Haifa, with Fadi-2 rockets.
Iraqi Resistance escalates
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced it launched a drone strike on a target near the Jordan Valley in their occupied territories on Wednesday.
In a statement, the resistance movement emphasized that this target was in response to the ongoing massacres perpetrated by the occupation entity against Palestinian civilians—including children, women, and the elderly—the group vowed to intensify operations against enemy strongholds, pledging to escalate their efforts in defense of Palestinian rights and sovereignty.
Zionist media reported that the drone targeted Ramon Airbase and air defenses failed to intercept it.
In another operation, the resistance announced that it targeted a site in the northern occupied territory with an al-Arqab missile (a developed cruise missile).
This comes after the resistance announced early Monday that its fighters targeted “a Golani Brigade observation base in our occupied lands using drones.”
In a statement, the group affirmed that the operation comes “in continuation of our resistance against the occupation, in support of our people in Palestine, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.”
The Iraqi Resistance underlined that it will continue to “strike enemy strongholds with increasing intensity.”
The operation came a few hours after the Islamic Resistance in Iraq confirmed it had targeted an Israeli site in the Jordan Valley, east of occupied Palestine, using the al-Arfad drone, marking the fifth attack on Sunday.
Palestinians continue attacks in West Bank
The al-Quds Brigades – Jenin announced on Tuesday that its fighters had targeted occupation forces storming the town of Al-Yamun, located northwest of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank, with pre-planted explosive devices.
The Palestinian Resistance group also stated that “it showered” the storming Zionist forces with gunfire.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced they confronted the occupation forces in several areas in the West Bank.
Also in al-Yammoun, the Resistance’s group Jenin Battalion said they confronted the “invading ‘Israeli’ forces using machine guns and explosive devices.”
In Nablus, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades confirmed they engaged in fierce battles with the occupation at the Askar New Camp, east of the city, using machine guns and explosive devices.
In the south of Tubas, the Brigades said they confronted the occupation forces in the town of Tammun using machine guns.
Zionist forces withdrew from Nablus on Sunday
On Sunday, reports state that in the West Bank the occupation withdrew from the city of Nablus after a covert special unit was exposed during its operation.
Field sources in the West Bank reported that Resistance fighters from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades successfully destroyed a vehicle used by the special forces during their infiltration into the center of Nablus.
The Resistance group announced that its fighters engaged in intense confrontations with machine guns and explosive devices against a special Israeli force that had infiltrated the Old City of Nablus.
The group affirmed that they successfully inflicted direct casualties on the special forces during the confrontation, emphasizing the effectiveness of their strikes against the infiltrating unit.
Since October 7, 2023, alongside its war on the Gaza Strip, the occupation army and settlers have intensified their attacks on the occupied West Bank. These aggressions have resulted in the martyrdom of at least 716 Palestinians, over 5,500 injuries, and the arrest of more than 10,800 people, according to official Palestinian institutions.
The occupation is waging a devastating war in Gaza with full US support, leading to over 136,000 Palestinian casualties, including a significant number of children and women. Additionally, more than 10,000 people are missing, while the region suffers from massive destruction and an ongoing siege.

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine called, in a statement issued by it, on the masses of our people in the West Bank, with their national forces, social sectors, and popular movements, to continue popular mobilization and take to the streets to express their outrage and anger against the ongoing war of destruction and genocide that has extended to our beloved Lebanon and its brotherly people, aiming to weaken the support front for the Palestinian resistance, which has continued to engage with the enemy and exhaust it as long as it persists in its aggression and brutal war against our people in Gaza and the West Bank.
The Islamic Resistance Front praised the valiant resistance and the spirits of the hundreds of martyrs who rose in their steadfastness and firm stance, in the courageous and painful response to the enemy, defending Lebanon, its people, and its land, while continuing to support the Palestinian people and their resistance against the ongoing genocide war, amid the international community’s and Security Council’s inability to stop it.
The Democratic Front held the full responsibility for the continuation of the war and aggression, and the serious risks it poses of turning into a regional war, to the American administration, the actual partner in the genocide war.

Hallucinations are an issue for generative AI. This is a classification problem, not gen AI. This type of use for AI predates gen AI by many years. What you describe is called a false positive, not a hallucination.
For this type of problem you use AI to narrow down a set to a more manageable size. e.g. you have tens of thousands of images and the AI identifies a few dozen that are likely what you're looking for. Humans would have taken forever to manually review all those images. Instead you have humans verifying just the reduced set, and confirming the findings through further investigation.

There's a difference between source available and open source. For example, actually being allowed to distribute modified versions is pretty damn important:
Restrictions
- No Distribution of Modified Versions: You may not distribute modified versions of the software, whether in source or binary form.
- No Forking: You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software.
- Official Distribution: Only the maintainers of the official repository are allowed to distribute the software and its modifications.

The official open-source definition expects more freedoms that just being able to see the source: the whole point of having the source isn't transparency, it's freedom. Freedom to fork and modify. Freedom to adapt the code to fix it and make it work for your use case, and share those modifications.
This doesn't let you modify the code or share your modifications at all.
Everyone has a different opinion on what that means, some people get really angry when you don't use their (or some other group's) explicit definition of the term "open source" that nobody actually owns. If they want it to mean something really specific, they should use a registered trade name with a defined meaning. But that usually implies some kind of capitalism at work, which most FOSS zealots are very much against.
In the end, nobody wins...

People often use the OSI’s Open Source Definition when using the term “open source”.
Which is one of the possible definitions. Mine is "you can see the code". Everything else falls into "free software".
That's nice. If your goal is to ever talk to people about open source software, that's going to create a lot of unnecessary confusion.
On top of that, accepting this bolsters companies to use this kind of a definition specifically to take advantage of the mental model that many people have connecting "open source" with OSI.
If your goal is to ever talk to people about open source software, that’s going to create a lot of unnecessary confusion.
I guess that my definition of open source is not that uncommon, given that the terms "free software" and "libre software" exist and are rather well-established by this point.

opensource.stackexchange.com/q… has a discussion about this.
The short story is that the OSI failed to obtain a legal trademark in the US for the term "open source" (software), resulting in many opportunistic companies and individuals adopting the term popularized by the OSI (which was founded by Eric Raymond, Michael Tiemann and Bruce Perens).
There was controversy at the time due to it being a business-friendly spin on the ideological "free software", and I personally avoided using the term for many years as a result. Even without a trademark on the now generic term of Open Source, there is still value in the OSI brand and its stamp of approval on a license.
Those who want to be crystal clear, should probably always say OSI Approved Open Source License.
Now, I'm off to have a Nescafé Approved Coffee.

MSI Laptop fan Control

MSI laptop fan controlHello,
Until this week I was using Windows for gaming. However since it won't recognise any HDMI screen I switched to linux gaming.
So far, everything I heard was true. We can play on Linux !
There is, however, one small "issue" that I have. I have a MSI laptop (GF65 Thin 10UE) and until now I managed the fans with Dragon Center when gaming. With Linux I don't seem to have that possibility, which leads to overheating issues.
Is there any tool suited to manage fans on MSI, since isw doesn't seem to be compatible with my particular model...

Still a bit bizarre. I feel like with 2TB NVMe as cheap as it is, HDDs in anything remotely portable are insane.
Now they make sense in RAID/NAS stuff, but I feel like ones the 3.5” ones.
I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.
I'm still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.
No, I can't... I found two possibilities :
- Use MControlCenter, that I can't seem to build because it can't find Qt (I have it installed)
- Build a custom kernel with
ec_sys
enabled, which I can't do because 'm not sure where to find Nobara Kernel and if that would not make my games stop working...
qt-devel
and its associated libraries to build, not just the base package.
That might be true...
I found a solution, I compiled the program on my Arch distro and installed it on Nobara. But it couldn't read anything since the ec_sys module was missing so I sorta just gave up.
Sorry for the late reply, I'm not on Lemmy often.
It seems that, according to a Reddit thread, the Nobara kernel should include support for ec_sys
. What does the command modinfo ec_sys
output? If it doesn't return modinfo: ERROR: Module ec_sys not found.
, then you should just be able to enable it with sudo modprobe ec_sys
and then enable it persistently across reboots with echo ec_sys | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
EDIT: Replaced output redirection with sudo tee
in case you are not running the command as root.
I like CoreCtrl. I don’t know how well it works with Intel and Nvidia, but it’s great on my AMD Thinkpad and desktop.
Nice thing is it’s in most distros’ repos these days.

The list of shout-outs in the main announcement pertains to projects who have partnered with the SWF, and intend to support it and collaborate.
It's also worth keeping in mind that there are more than 80 different platforms in varying states of development. Yeah, Lemmy is one of the bigger ones, and OG Threadiverse, but the list of platforms to name is absurdly long at this point. I think it makes sense for them to focus on the protocol, and immediate partners.

I think one issue we have is how hard it is to find instances, communities, or even other media like this, since they won't even show up in your search if they're not already federated with your instance. And since many servers block crawlers, it is hard to index them externally too.
I think that really limits the reach and the perceived size of the Fediverse.

Yeah, discovery remains one of the big domain area problems for the network. There's some promising work happening in the space, but it'll be a while before we see something.
Incidentally, our publication is federated, and can be followed at @news@wedistribute.org!
I wanted to understand their perspective. But that doesn't seem to be something they are willing to share in any more detail.
There was no implication being made.
What measure of difficulty of content discovery are you using to determine that it is difficult? What would not difficult content discovery be? What content is there is desired to be discovered What do you mean by, 'there is no "why" here'?
I have many questions about how people perceive the current state of things and what they view as potential areas for improvement.
These are all different questions than "why do you think it these are issues to overcome?". Perhaps it was not your intention, but your original question came off as challenging OP's complaint.
What measure of difficulty of content discovery are you using to determine that it is difficult?
Get 1000 random people, ask them to list 3 to 5 of their interests and to find them on "Lemmy". See how many successfully complete the task in less than 5 minutes. Do the same on Reddit.
What would not difficult content discovery be?
- A better onboarding wizard.
- An unified search engine that index all of the content, not just what is available in an given instance
- Recommendation algorithms (no, not all algorithms are bad)
- Searching people by their interests
I think that WordPress integration has been added to Lemmy, so you should be able to also follow WordPress blogs right here, they show up as communities.
I mean I'm not sure how well it works, last I checked it was very glitchy.

Things have shifted a bit in the last many years. Now almost no one reads blogs anymore. They want doom-scrolling and interaction. And even the old school nerds moved away from RSS, Mail and IRC. I also liked some Linux forums, but I feel it got more quiet there during the last years. Mostly to the benefit of proprietary platforms like Discord and such. But I don't thing they're very social, as in open and giving freedom to the people...

Correct. As those of us who used GNU social 10 years ago will never tire of telling you, it was coined to describe the OStatus network. Once all the software using OS adopted ActivityPub, it came to describe the AP network, and anything hanging directly off it (eg Diaspora).

I've never seen anyone try to claim that XMPP is part of email. Or that Matrix is part of UseNet. Even they though these are all federated networks people have used for social purposes.
Yet for reasons I can't fathom, some people insist that new federated social networks that *choose not to use* the common protocol of "the fediverse" are somehow part of it.
Honestly, why?

I'm not an AP partisan. I was using the fediverse - by that name - before AP existed. I will still be here if the majority of software projects migrate to another common protocol.
I'm an evangelist for re-decentralisation. I look forward to a future where BlueSky and Nostr join all the AP projects in one unified social web space, which we might still call "the fediverse". But pretending it's already here, by changing the boundaries of the term, does not automagically make that happen.

Also technically, "social web" is super imprecise when clearly the organisation is supposed to promote and highlight federated platforms. Sounds like somebody did a super lazy brainstorm without looking up from their belly button to consider this exact fallout.

Not everybody loves the word "Fediverse". And then for those who like it, the connotations might be somewhat different.
You can't really do anything right in this field, as there are thousands of people ready to cry their hearts out at any given decision. But calling communication between web platforms the social web is not extremely controversial, and it's a bit easier to sell to a wider audience (government agencies, media outlets, people who don't know what HTML is) than going on an on about some obscure Fediverse. Different uses.

So if not the start date, 2008 is still an important milestone - it's when we started cutting the cord from these walled gardens to grow an independent web.
