Israel kills 29, including children, in new Gaza ceasefire violation
At least 29 Palestinians, including at least six children, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza City and Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip since dawn, according to medical sources speaking to Al Jazeera.
The violence comes a day before Israel is due to reopen the Rafah crossing, which links Gaza with Egypt, on Sunday for the first time since May 2024.
Mahmoud Basal, the spokesman of the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza, has told Al Jazeera that most of those killed in Israeli attacks today are children.

Not sure how different things are today than in 2003 but back then it was easier to immigrate to QC as well. It took 6-8 months to immigrate to QC and 3-5 years for the rest of Canada.
I don't think it's a bad idea to prioritize other parameters than growth in our immigration programs. Even though I might lose a great junior on my team who's working on PR and learning French to get it. 😅

The world’s largest particle accelerator now has an important new mission: heating thousands of homes. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has begun to funnel the waste heat from its cooling system to a new residential and commercial area in the nearby French town of Ferney-Voltaire, with the new linkup expected to be able to heat several thousand homes at once.
The $100 Billion Megadeal Between OpenAI and Nvidia Is on Ice
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has privately played down likelihood original deal will be finalized, although the two companies will continue to have a close collaborationThe companies unveiled the giant agreement last September at Nvidia’s Santa Clara, Calif., headquarters. They announced a memorandum of understanding for Nvidia to build at least 10 gigawatts of computing power for OpenAI, and the chip maker also agreed to invest up to $100 billion to help OpenAI pay for it. As part of the deal, OpenAI agreed to lease the chips from Nvidia.
At the time, the ChatGPT-maker expected the deal negotiations to be completed in the coming weeks, people familiar with the plans said. But the talks haven’t progressed beyond the early stages, some of the people said.
Now, the two sides are rethinking the future of their partnership, some of the people said. The latest discussions, they said, include an equity investment of tens of billions of dollars as part of OpenAI’s current funding round.

With the recent "spotify hack", can one now easily get songs from that hack?
So, there was a "spotify hack" recently, from Anna's Archive, as we all know. My question is:
- Has the songs from that hack been made available? Can one easily get these songs? Say, I want song X from artist Y. Can I search and download?
There's a lot of Japanese stuff on nyaa. They even have a lossless audio section. Lossy is usually 128k or 320k mp3. I do lossy myself, but I encode to m4a low-complexity 192k (the highest option it has). So I grab lossless and encode to my settings, then use mp3tag for perfect metadata control (free for you Windows guys; $30 on Mac). Then it's a unique file. Can still be sonically identified, but so can the tracks you legit ripped from CD, so that doesn't matter.
Also collect Japanese music, mostly j-rock.

Furthermore 96kbps is more than enough for casual listeners. You may hear a difference but most people wont care tbh.
As far as I know what they archived was not MP3 compressed but rather opus or ogg.

Ah yes, the Davos Elite, the usual conspiracy scapegoats.
The same group that is organizing the "You will Own Nothing" plot and force you to eat bugs and be locked up in your 15 minute prison.
Lots of topics are brought up at the WEF. Even Trump's word salad of a "speech" got polite applause from those who stayed to the end but I doubt the Davos Elite agreed with his message that the USA needs full ownership of Greenland and Europe can't function without the USA.
Can someone define the differences/commonalities between the Davos Elite and the Laurentian Elite? Is Trudeau the common factor? It's hard for me to keep up with the conspiracy villains.

Is there any Fediverse project aimed at creating a safe space for kids to interact within?
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/42450990
Features I can think of:
- a system for stricter content moderation, especially something that would automatically delete NSFW/NSFL posts,
- no direct messaging,
- some kind of tool for moderators to efficiently review content,
- multi-layered access to an account to allow for parental control,
- time management tool that would not be based on the client, but with the session duration calculated through interactions.

What do you expect that to do, on a technical level?
Because if all you want to do is the societal result, you can use any existing backend and configure it to disable federation except with other servers with the same goal. Unclear what you are trying to achieve.
like this
Well, already knowing if anything like what you described exists it would be great.
Also, maybe an application or instances that would have implemented:
- a system for stricter content moderation, especially something that would automatically delete NSFW/NSFL posts,
- no direct messaging,
- some kind of tool for moderators to efficiently review content,
- multi-layered access to an account to allow for parental control,
- time management tool that would not be based on the client, but with the session duration calculated through interactions.
Thanks for your observation, I will add these ideas to the post description.
There isn't, the only posibility is creating an own instance of Mastodon or whatever, where you can implement the corresponding rules and filters for kids.
The fediverse as such can't never be safe for kids, due to it's own structure if safe instances are federated with such which are not family safe.
blog.elenarossini.com/gotosoci…
Alternatively social media, specific for kids
internetmatters.org/resources/…
It is always needed to educate the kids about the risks and for an correct and safe behavior in the network, using safe search engines, eg.SwissCows, private and family safe by design.

I sometimes point to the F35 sales as an example of what it means to be an America ally, as China would never sell this level of weaponry to anybody.
