Amnesty Report on Israel Genocide: Silence So Far from BBC News


Amnesty International released a “landmark new report” on Thursday 5 December. It concluded that Israel “has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip”. But nine hours later, BBC News was still nowhere to be found. The UK’s state broadcaster apparently had nothing to say about “the world’s best known human rights organisation” judging a close British ally to be guilty of genocide.


Utredningar om attacker mot Israels ambassad nerlagda. Flera utredningar om vapenbrott där det funnits misstankar om att unga fått uppdrag att skjuta mot den israeliska ambassaden i Stockholm har lagts ner.

virtio-win question


Contemplating Fedora Kinoite for work daily driver. Need to prove that I can virtualize an existing physical Windows 11 machine. Using Bazzite on a personal laptop as a host test bed.

Test host seems to be set up correctly. I layered the packages in the virtualization group, layered virtio-win (from downloaded rpm package), added my user to the libvert group, and enabled libvirtd. After a reboot or two, I can connect with the Virtual Machine Manager and define my VM.

On physical machine I used Disk2vhd to generate a vhdx. Moved that file to the test host and converted to qcow2. Copied disk image to /var/lib/libvert/images and added it as my drive image when I defined the VM.

VM starts but will not boot. Stupid question: Should I have installed virt-win-gt-x64.msi from the virtio-win ISO on the source Windows install before I created the vhdx?

On Ubuntu, only the server version of driver is available at this point.

DeepMind AI weather forecaster beats world-class system (this time with Bayesian statistics)


in reply to zlatiah

It's hard to make a good weather forecast tool without theoretical elements incorporated in it.

I'm sure the model produces higher accuracy results on historical data. I read the abstract and it's not mentioned if they tested it on new data.

With ml, the most difficult part of the work is making sure not to overfit historical data. Is target have a less accurate model (on the training data) than a model that can be justified using theoretical reasoning. This way, I can be much more confident that it will work in the long run.

Let's see where this will go in the coming years!

in reply to zlatiah

This is honestly a WAY better domain for the application of ML than LLMs.

Fängelse för misslyckat bombdåd mot Elbit Systems. Två termosbomber med 3,3 kilo dynamitsprängämne placerades utanför det israeliska företaget Elbit Systems i Kallebäck. Därefter tändes sprängladdningen på.

“Here in Deir al-Balah, it’s like an apocalypse. There is no room for you to pitch a tent; you have to set it up near the coast… You have to protect your children from insects, from the heat, and there is no clean water, no toilets, all while the bombing never stops. You feel like you are subhuman here.”

Car dependent infrastructure is an unsustainable, temporary grift until all resources are stolen.

That's nice dear, any comments on this article which has nothing whatsoever to do with car infrastructure?


Cant shutdown the system!(Fedora crashed)


I have been facing this issue since yesterday, but basically at some point the system becomes insanely slow, and the restart and shutdown options disappear from the menu, tty3-7 dont work, it freezes at the shutdown -now command(at which point I just manually cut the power(bad Idea I know)),

but today I stuck around as my system got insanely borked, eventually freezing up and giving me the screen above. the problem shows up after I wake it up from suspend but not always:
My system specs:

OS: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition) x86_64

Bluesky isn’t the ‘new Twitter,’ but its resemblance to the old one is drawing millions of new users


What would you say at Twitter’s funeral?

That’s the question my collaborators and I asked over 1,000 people on social media as part of a broader research project on Twitter migration. Responses ranged from the profane to the poetic, but one common theme was that despite its significant flaws, Twitter at its best was truly great … until it wasn’t.

in reply to florencia

It's going to get the most toxic elements from twitter. Social media just isn't cool anymore, like it was back when big sites first developed. They were already overwhelmed with users reporting each other almost as soon as people started moving there.

Once any site is big enough, marketing, trolls, influencers and propagandists move in too. Then it comes down to moderation to keep toxicity down.
in reply to florencia

Not sure if this is the right community for this post.
in reply to mayhair

“Science?” Yeah no.

I see these posts about how amazing things are at BlueSky literally every single day here. I got sick of it a long time ago but have mostly kept quiet because promoting alternatives to Twitter is a good thing.

However, I’m starting to think that taking up Lemmy airtime to promote another private, for-profit enterprise brought to you by the same guy who sold Twitter to an evil billionaire is perhaps not an approach worthy of extraordinary support.

in reply to mayhair

Perhaps it would be better to link directly to the more scientific sources linked in the article:

The author of the article contributed to or co-authored those as well. The article is very general writeup, but there is real science here.



Can't access containers remotely


Hey everyone. So I created a wire guard tunnel to my home network in order to access my are containers but all I can access is my router login page and one of my access point login page. All being in the same range is 192.168.3.1(router), 192.168.3.2 (access point and switch) and 192.168.3.10 server. My arr listen to their respective ports ie 8989 for sonarr etc. When I'm at home I reach them with no issues.
What could be the reason I can't access them remotely?

Inquiring minds want to know how the science wing of the center for science and international affairs recruits control groups and conducts experiments.


in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Yeah i would prefer to get my mail but I'm not angry at the workers wtf. Everyone who talks about it IRL gets meet with an immediate "yeah Holy fuck just pay your workers" to let them know i won't be talking shit

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Nice out of context quote. He's not saying the strike is disrespectful, rather than the lack of progress on resolving it.

The full quote isn't unreasonable:

“The parties are still very far apart, and that is in my view, among other things, highly disrespectful of Canadians who are suffering through this work stoppage, small businesses, people in rural and remote communities who rely on Canada Post’s services and these parties have to knuckle down and get the work done.”
in reply to Shadow

It's plenty unreasonable because implies that workers who are very clearly underpaid somehow share equal responsibility here, or that they need to cave in because it's inconveniencing people.
