Oxfam: UK government complicit in war crimes in Israel
Oxfam’s UK chief executive, Dr Halima Begum, expressed disappointment at a British court ruling which refused to halt the export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, which it’s using in its war on Gaza, on Monday. Oxfam submitted evidence in the case.
“The judgment is surprising and deeply disappointing,” Begum said.
“The Court and the Government have both acknowledged that UK arms are at risk of being used in breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza yet prioritise the supply chains of fighter jets over the lives of Palestinians,” she added.
“It is unconscionable that the Government would continue to license the sale of components for F35 jets knowing that they are used to deliberately attack civilians in Gaza and destroy their means of survival, including vital water supplies.

Iran envoy leaves meeting over presence of hostile US media
TEHRAN, Jun. 30 (MNA) – Iran's ambassador to Armenia has walked out of a National Press Club meeting, in protest over the presence of a Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) correspondent, who "works for our enemies."
Mehdi Sobhani initially demanded the removal of the RFE/RL reporter from the National Press Club meeting, noting that “this outlet currently works for our enemies”.
As the moderator Narine Mkrtchyan said she could not remove the journalist and urged to begin the event, Sobhani replied “I will not participate,” and left the room, according to Press TV.
Eventually, the correspondent of RFE/RL, which is funded by the US and operates under the US Agency for Global Media, left the meeting, as his presence caused disruption.

As the Iranian Armed Forces pounded Israel and its military and industrial infrastructure, using many new-generation missiles that precisely hit the designated targets, the embattled regime was forced to unilaterally declare a truce deal on June 24.

.ua domain
covering your bases by owning multiple URLs in different domains is called being thorough. There also exists gazeta-pravda.ru, pravda.sk/, pravda.com.ua/, main.pravda.rs/, and many others.
Pravda .ru is not the same as the pravda.com.ua
Ukrainska Pravda (Ukrainian: Українська правда, lit. 'Ukrainian truth') is a Ukrainian socio-political online media outlet founded by Heorhii Gongadze in April 2000.... In May 2021, the publication’s new owner became Tomas Fiala, CEO of Dragon Capital.Dragon Capital is a Ukrainian group of companies in the field of investment and financial services, offering a comprehensive range of products in equities and fixed income sales, trading and research, investment banking, private equity, and asset management to institutional, corporate, and private clients. It was founded in 2000 in Kyiv... It is also the owner of news media holdings in Ukraine — Ukrainska Pravda and The New Voice of Ukraine.
This is all from that same site. Is all of this also "Russian propaganda"?
This is the equivalent of calling Haaretz an "anti-semitic source"

I think I'm gonna grab an old external USB drive and live boot from there and test things out
Just keep in mind, in such a case, that your performance will be quite reduced due to limits on I/O. When you have Linux on a real drive - especially a striped RAID, the system is blazing fast. It’s a substantial difference you should keep in mind when evaluating.
You could acquire a pretty cheap PC for Linux it runs on a potato. Try an electrical scrap heap nearby that you can fossick from or a friend with an old, unused system in storage (even a cheap $20 retro PC from your local marketplace?) to acquire an old retro system. You might not even need a new screen depending what connections your existing screens/TV has and if you could use a cheap adapter and cable from the thrift store.
Linux runs on basically any retro PC and laptop excluding some annoying wifi chips that need planning before the install if you don't have ethernet. Some really old tech may also require specific distributions that still offer support too.
Machines with a 32bit CPU you will want to confirm beforehand if your chosen distribution still offers a supported 32bit install image and retro PC's with obscure expansion cards that perhaps were never supported. This is likely moving into vintage collectors territory though and you would have to be pretty lucky now to find a machine like that super cheap and working.
Solved: Any desktop environment or WM with configurable placing/opening of windows?
When using TMUX, it is easy to create a script, which opens TMUX, configures the screens/panes of TMUX and open/run programs.
I like this a lot.
My baseline would be something like, when I login, some applications are executed and their windows automatically placed on a virtual desktop.
For example:
- Open Firefox and put it on virtual desktop 1
- Open Terminal in fullscreen and put it on virtual desktop 2
- Open VSCode and put it on virtual desktop 3
Something like that is possible with sway, in the environment I am working, sway is not able to run XWayland applications w/o crashing.
Is there any way to have this functionality on Gnome, Mate, Xfce?
Even better would be something to open several windows and arrange them automatically for different work tasks/projects I am working on. Any ideas?
Edit: Solved! Thanks for the input. Auto Move Windows extension for Gnome solves my problem.
Share a script/alias you use a lot
# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}
Technically not an alias, because I just use nushell's history + autocompletion everytime I use it, but one could alias it. I think I might even write a custom command for it, with path argument, some day. Anyway, here it goes:
rsync -aPh -e "ssh -p 2222" test@172.16.0.86:/storage/emulated/0/PicturesArchive/ ~/PicturesArchive/
I run an ssh daemon on my phone, and use this snippet to back up my photos.
