Starmer urged to open reparations talks at Commonwealth summit
The UN judge Patrick Robinson concluded last year that the UK owed more than £18tn in reparations for its historical involvement in slavery in 14 countries.Successive UK governments have resisted calls for reparations. Downing Street sought to shut down the discussion before the Commonwealth summit this week by saying that reparations were "not on the agenda". The government has also ruled out making a formal apology this week.
As the meeting in Samoa approaches, the Commonwealth, which was created from the ashes of the British empire, faces bigger questions about its usefulness as an association.
Summit attendance by heads of government has declined. The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, and the South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, are set to snub this week's meeting in favour of the BRICS summit in Russia.

The commander of the Zionist 162nd Division’s 401st Armored Brigade, Colonel Ehsan Daqsa, was eliminated by Palestinian Resistance fighters in Jabalia, the northern Gaza Strip, on Sunday.
A Zionist military investigation into the incident found that Colonel Daqsa was positioned outside his tank with a number of other officers when an explosive device was detonated near them.
Daqsa, the commander of the 52nd Battalion, and two other officers were positioned outside the tank in Jabalia and walked several meters to an observation point. Palestinian Resistance fighters had booby-trapped, the presumably cleared site, with explosives, killing Daqsa and seriously wounding the commander of the 52nd Battalion. Two other officers were listed with light and moderate injuries.
The commander of the 401st Brigade is among two of the highest-ranking Zionist officers killed during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. His killing marks a major achievement for the Resistance in Jabalia, a city that has defended against three military campaigns, seen extensive bombing, and the forced displacement of thousands.
First commander of Generals’ Plan eliminated
In the latest military campaign against Jabalia, Daqsa was among those leading the so-called “Generals’ Plan”, which aims to transform the area into a closed military zone. This means that civilians would either be forced to leave their homes by soldiers on the ground or face starvation and death.
Daqsa was also pictured with Palestinian civilians, as he oversaw the implementation of ethnic cleansing in Jabalia.
Zionist command chain rattled
The only other colonel to be killed in the Gaza Strip, was Colonel Itzhak Ben Bassat, the head of the Golani Brigade chief’s forward command team, who was killed along with eight other troops in an ambush in Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood, on December 12, 2023.
Facing a crisis in its command chain, after Palestinian Resistance fighters eliminated multiple top-ranking Israeli officers, the Zionist military command appointed the deputy head of the 162nd Division to command the 401st Brigade in the meantime.
Further shedding light on the systematic crisis that Zionist occupation forces suffer from, today’s ambush will force Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Ella, the former commander of the 52nd Battalion, who was moderately injured in July, to return to command the battalion after his replacement was seriously wounded on Sunday.
Moreover, Colonel Benny Aharon, who had handed over his position as commander of the 401st Brigade to Daqsa in June 25, 2024, will be brought back to serve as deputy head of the 162nd Division.
Hamas leader Osama Hamdan spoke to to Al-Jazeera about the war:
The Jabalia operation proves that the martyrdom of leader Al-Sinwar did not weaken the resistance in Gaza.
The assassination of the leaders did not disrupt the negotiations, as evidenced by Al-Sinwar’s continued leadership of the talks after the assassination of Commander Haniyeh.
Al-Sinwar was busy stopping the aggression on Gaza without compromising the rights of our resistant people.
The movement is arranging its papers and managing its affairs internally, and after that, it will be announced who will succeed Sinwar.
The heroic personality of leader Sinwar pushed him to resist the occupation from the front lines.
The scene of Sinwar’s martyrdom invalidated the occupation’s cheap propaganda about Hamas leaders since the start of the war on Gaza.
Our resistant people in northern Gaza will foil the plan of the new Nazi generals from the occupation leaders.
Northern Gaza is witnessing a holocaust that has no parallel in history, in full view of the entire world.

India, China reach pact to resolve border conflict, Indian foreign minister says
NEW DELHI, Oct 21 (Reuters) - India and China have reached a deal on patrolling their disputed frontier to end a four-year military stand-off, the Indian foreign minister said on Monday, paving the way for improved political and business ties between the Asian giants.
The news came on the eve of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Russia for an Oct. 22-24 summit of the BRICS regional grouping, during which he could hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Indian officials said.
Relations between the world's two most populous nations - both nuclear powers - have been strained since clashes between their troops on the largely undemarcated frontier in the western Himalayas left 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers dead in 2020.

These kinds of news articles are an example of how universities are being increasingly pressured by state actors to be more critical of China.
High numbers of Chinese students at Australian universities have created an environment of self-censorship with lecturers avoiding criticism of Beijing and Chinese students staying silent in fear of harassment, Human Rights Watch said.
Human Rights Watch’s core mission is to publish negative propaganda about states that the US wants to have regime changed. The purpose of this article is to put pressure on universities to get in line with the new cold war.

That's pathetic. That's a pathetic misunderstanding of geopolitics and the nature of modern intelligence infrastructure.
You're still in the mindset of "Having SIGINT = bad guys".
As if places like Russia, and North Korea would just be magical kingdoms of freedom and accountability if they just didn't have signals intelligence!
That's stupid. What differentiates the west (much like what differentiates good media sources from bad) - is accountability, and oversight.
Anyways I'll let you get back to your petty fears and misunderstanding the basic lay of the informational and geopolitical landscapes. Maybe if Trump magically wins the election Glenn Greenwald will spend Trump's time in office attacking the Democrats and defending Trump and Russia again. I'm sure you'd enjoy that.
The crypto-rightwing are just like that. Aren't you. Semi-pro-authoritarians who don't understand what causes freedom, and think it's something about being a soldier of fortune for a foreign state, or something that comes from "the barrel of a gun". Idiots believing they're freedom fighters popping some imaginary info-bubble.
You don't know how lucky you are, or how good you have it, or why... That's your problem, and your weakness.
I know right, the cowardly mods on .ml just nuked my comment because they can't handle that perspective... I didn't swear at you (and you know this), I didn't aim to be insulting - it's just indicative of the fragility of the marxist left today when it comes to discourse they can't combat, compute, and have no reasonable response to.
Users have to be protected because apparently they need to be kept in a state of false consciousness for a Marxist left to continue. Which as Marxists you should all be worried about (it hints at an issue with Marxist party politics). But you lot may well not understand what I've said.
Good luck having your eyes protected for purely ideological reasons.... And good Marxists should know - he wasn't a huge fan of ideology or respecting it as causal or desirable.
He was very practical, hence concrete historical materialism.
And good Marxists should know - he wasn’t a huge fan of ideology or respecting it as causal or desirable.He was very practical, hence concrete historical materialism.
This is what happens when you don't read Marx and just sort of assume what Marx said based on a literal interpretation of his ideological labels.
Marx was not, like liberals, laboring under the delusion that ideology is something that can simply be escaped. Paraphrasing Zizek (who I hate, but he has some good points), it is when you believe that you are free of ideology that you are most firmly under ideological control, because in such circumstances ideology is necessarily acting on you without your awareness of it. To be aware of your ideology allows you to engage with it and modify it and so on.
He also recognized, like anyone who spends a few seconds thinking about what would become sociology (it wasn't really around in his time) that ideology does cause things. His distinction is that ideology is superstructural, it was an abstract product of the concrete base that is material conditions, but the two of them exist in a dialectical relationship with each other. Any base will produce a superstructure so long as that base has people who relate to each other, and this superstructure, in essence, is ideology.
What Marx hated with respect to ideology, and this is the closest you are to being even superficially right, is the idea that was and is popular among liberals (and others, such as utopian socialists) that ideology alone is enough to transform the world, that it acts independently of material circumstances and people will just freely be moved by what is "right" in a completely absolute sense irrespective of their historical or current conditions. Again, these things have a dialectical relationship, and the superstructure cannot fly freely, unbounded by the base, any more than the base can fly freely (by human hands) when the superstructure stays in place. They will only make progress in the context of each other.
Edit: For the sake of being more complete, I will say more explicitly that the base has primacy, which is why the superstructure comes from it -- there can be no culture in out in space where no one is. It has primacy and its change -- e.g. by scientific inventions -- tends to drag the superstructure along with it, but those inventions are only created thanks to the superstructural elements of preserved and transmitted knowledge and the desire to, for example, develop production.
It's very difficult to talk about dialectics because I often want to address both sides simultaneously even though it can't really be done.
Oof imagine trying to be better than someone by citing dialectecs as if it's some hidden aspect to Marxism that others don't know about. That's a whole lot of basic shit, yes, I'm aware of one dimensional man, and tge inescapablity of ideology. I never suggested ideology can be escaped.
Haha, you cited Zizek as if he's a Marxist. He's a postmodern anti-capitalist at best. if you believe Capitalism is a stage of Marxism trying to get to Communism then utopia ...oof I would not be just like "oh Zizek will lead us!" Hahaha.
Anyways, I'm not a Marxist but I hear looking for a leader is also not something Marx was a huge fan of.

This amounts to a conspiracy theory. It's a completely different kind of format and the hosts introduce themselves up front. If it's a knock-off, it's not a very effortful one. You'd probably have an easier time saying they stole the name, because it's a very good name.
Sorry, not everyone is willing to take: Random guy said it on a podcast, (or defender of Trump said it on a podcast cast) as a source worth listening to for trusted reporting.
Not to mention the rudeness of just assigning someone a podcast in an online discussion, or the fact the podcast had no relevance to the topic of whether Australian universities are self-censoring due to reasons of; Capitalist exchange.
Whether the podcast is relevant or not has nothing to do with what I said. Whether it is credible or not has nothing to do with what I said. Whether you are justified in feeling offended over it? Nothing to do with what I said.
For my own mental health I'm going to just not take the bait which is that parenthetical. Instead, I would like to focus on how "I refuse to listen to even two minutes of this podcast because I don't like its pedigree" is not actually a go-ahead to blindly presume things about it like the conspiracy theory I initially pointed out. You can refuse to listen to it, that's fine, but that puts you in a position of lacking a lot of information for making assertions about it. What that means is that what you can do is ignore it, or say you don't want to engage with it for such and such a reason that you actually have good reason to believe and then leave it there. That's how epistemology works.
Good job making up a quote, then knocking it down. You should totally spend your life energy getting into tangential argument that only you give a shit about.

I have downvoting disabled anyway but it sucks that others are influenced by it.
I think there are a lot of people on Lemmy trying to turn public spaces into their private space, or shape communities into what they want instead of fostering a new one from the ground up.
It's dead simple to start an instance or even a community on an instance that aligns with how people feel. Somehow instead we've defaulted to projecting negativity, which inhibits growth. Lemmy can be better.

Including this thread, OP has made 4 posts and 20 some comments over the last year.
How motivating do you think it is to post to smaller communities just to get an unrepresentative number of downvoters right off the bat? I can't speak for OP but I'm sure there are plenty that don't post or reply at all because of it.
I think at its core downvoting can be fine but on smaller platforms it's easily abused as a form of content suppression, bullying, etc. Lemmy seems to be particularly prone to account hopping downvote spam, which sucks but it is what it is.
Thankfully Lemmy is flexible enough to create what you want more privately if one is so inclined. I'm smoking weed about it.

Agree. If you're not interested in something, just block the community/curate your feed and don't spam downvotes. It's like intentionally showing up somewhere you don't want to be just to "boooo" everything.
Steps in Tesseract:
1) Click the community name in the post to bring up the community profile modal.
2) Click "Block Community"
3) You and the people minding their own business with their own interests can now both be happy.
Bonus: This works from the feed and from the post. If you're in the feed when you block a community, any other posts to that community will magically disappear.

Do you mean downvoting or blocking the communities? There is no feed fine-tuning based on downvotes on Lemmy, so if you don't see those communities in All after a while it means the community members just stopped posting altogether, not that the community got hidden from you.

On December 1, the situation, somehow, worsened when Kanye appeared on The Alex Jones Show. Over the course of the broadcast, he repeatedly praised Hitler and the Nazi party, insisting that he “loves” Nazis and “likes” Hitler, and at one point blatantly declaring, “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world.” His remarks placed Jones in the rare position of attempting to help Kanye walk back his extremism by reminding him that Nazis “did a lot of very bad things.”“But they did good things, too,” Ye responded. “We’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all of the time.”
That was in the morning. By evening, Ye had been indefinitely suspended from Twitter for posting an image of a Nazi swastika inside of a Star of David.
Android "Password Store" client for pass discontinued
Over the past 3 years the pace of development in APS has steadily fallen off as maintainers including myself have moved on to other things. I no longer have time and motivation to dedicate to this project, and in the absence of significant external contributions there is no-one else I can offer the project's stewardship to.To that effect, I will be archiving the repository on Monday, October 14th 2024 at 7AM GST. In the situation that a serious and viable fork emerges, I will help them as much as I can with the transition. The criteria for what counts as "serious and viable" is entirely vibes-driven for now, and may become more specific in the future. In case I determine that a fork does not live up to my made up standard, they will have to come up with a slightly more creative name than "Android Password Store" and watch low 4 figures of cash wither away in OpenCollective's bank account.

Good thing i switched to selfhosted vaultwarden setup.
Sees bitwarden drama, Noooo😭
Yeah, with all the stuff going on with password managers, I wonder if there's a truly future-proof setup that can be self-hosted and will never have these issues.
I was a Keepass user many years ago, but I'm not confident that a Keepass-like system would work well with some very computer-illiterate family members. Bitwarden is hard enough to teach them, and it's one of the easy ones!
you could just not update your mobile app and keep using vault warden.
Well, I'd prefer that the apps that are a gateway to my most important pieces of data (passwords) be updated to plug vulnerabilities and exploits. If it were any other app/service, then I can live without updates. But not something related to passwords.
Yup. I'm either hoping for a more sustainable alternative, or a fork with active updates.
For now, I'm holding my position, but preparing for an exit from Bitwarden.
albeit it being only source available
Isn't that exactly why we need to leave the official Bitwarden client for something else?
Differences in the thread model. And of course convince. How to you backup your paper regulary? How do you transfer it? What if you need to access a pasdword when you are not home?
Most ppl will just reuse or use very weak passwords when they have to write every password they have to enter.
I know a lot of services that log you out regularly. Or need a password when you change settings or whatever.
Well yea people with the "I don't care. I just press the button and it always works" model do exist.
WTF no. Password managers are reasonable secure. That is no i don't care behavior.
And when you are worried about password managers you should not use cookies. Stealing a cookie is much more simple than stealing and encrypting your password safe.
That is why you use an open source manager. KeePassXC for example is not owned by a for-profit company.
Losing the container due to corruption disk failure etc can be easily managed with backups.
Losing the password. Yes this is a real valid scenario. I personally have no problem with that i manage fine for years without having to write it out on paper to backup it.
A solution would be to actually write that password out somewhere and hide it/ put it into a safe. An attack then needs to attack both, depending if you use disk encryption it is easy to get access to the password safe or not. There are other things to consider, like you could try to hide it in a very long string of characters like 20 pages of random characters, even if you forget it you will be able to find it cause it is very likely that you remember a few characters.
You still need to store those secrets. You would probably refer to a keychain but in the end it is still a password/secret manager.
And the current implementation is not really better, services like paypal still do not allow you to use a passkey on the desktop.
I then installed password store inside termux and I am using it as if I am using it from my PC. That works pretty well.

Japan - Protests Force Israeli Elbit Systems to Shut Down Tokyo Booth Over Gaza Genocide
Tokyo, October 18, 2024 — Protests erupted at the Japan International Aerospace Exhibition (JA2024) in Tokyo, leading to the forced closure of the booth operated by Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.
The protests, organized both inside and outside the exhibition hall, targeted Elbit Systems’ involvement in supplying weapons used in the ongoing genocide in Gaza and military operations in the West Bank.
Activists stormed Elbit Systems’ booth, holding signs and chanting slogans such as “Shame on you, Elbit!” and “The genocidal company must go!”
Their presence, alongside the growing number of protesters outside the exhibition center at Tokyo Big Sight, prompted the company to shut down its display prematurely.

If you have everything you need backed up you can reinstall on a new hard drive and restore everything you need. So you should not be completely fucked. Just an inconvenience you might have to go through. You will lose the stuff not backed up so if any of that is a pain to get again it might be more painful to restore everything.
Others have said some thing you might want to try. But having a spare disk you can swap to is never a bad idea. Disks to fail and you should plan for what to do when they do. Backing up your data is a good first step.
I would say it is not a bad idea to just get a new disk now and go through the process of restoring everything anyway - you can treat it like your disk has failed and do what you would need to do to restore. With the ability to swap back when you need to.
This is a good way to find things you might have missed in your backups.
If it's your os drive that dies, nothing important has been lost except for a few minutes of work. You can boot from a variety of media (cd, usb...) for recovery, or drive replacement. Worst case, you'll have to reinstall a few things in the following days.
It's also why it's not a bad idea to separate the various aspects of the system on distinct drives.
- Back up your data now
- Reseat the cables for the drive
- Run a self test on the drive -
smartctl -t long- if it doesn't pass, then the drive is trash. If it does, then it might limp along a bit longer before catastrophically failing

I did perform the self-test function, the long version that says it will take 10s of minutes. Some of the errors were displayed with red text before the test. After the self test, it said that my drive passed and all the red errors showed up as "Old age" in black text, every single one.
(This is in the GUI app for smartctl)
Please stop trying to interpret the SMART data report. Even if you're knowledgeable it can easily mislead you because this is vendor-specific data that follows no standard and is frequently misinterpreted by even the program displaying the data.
If the self-test passed, it's likely the cable or the controller. Try a different cable.
I’d say it’s time for a clean install and thinking of a new root password.
Huh? What has that to do with a possibly failing drive?
No need to worry, disk failures almost never result in fires or hazardous conditions.
A-yuk-yuk-yuk.
Seriously: you have a disk that has failed, based just on that little snippet of the logs, internally (ICRC ABRT). You can either use a tool like spinrite to try and repair it, but you may lose all the data in the process, or replace it.
A user suggested bad cabling and that’s a possibility, one you can check easily if the error is reproducible by swapping the cable. Before I swap cables often I’ll confirm the diagnosis using smartctl and look for whatever the drive manufacturer calls the errors that happen between the media and disk controller chip on the drive. If it has those then there’s no point in trying a cable swap, the problem is not happening there.
People will say that you can’t “fix” bad disks with tools like spinrite or smartctl. I’ve found that to be incorrect. There are certainly times when the disk is kaput but most of the time it’ll work fine and can go back into service.
Of course, that’s recovering from errors when I get an email or text the first time and going back to service in a multi-parity array so lowered criticality and early detection could have lots to do with that experience.

Humanity is on the verge of ‘shattering Earth’s natural limits’, say experts in biodiversity warning
Humanity is “on the precipice” of shattering Earth’s limits, and will suffer huge costs if we fail to act on biodiversity loss, experts warn. This week, world leaders meet in Cali, Colombia, for the Cop16 UN biodiversity conference to discuss action on the global crisis. As they prepare for negotiations, scientists and experts around the world have warned that the stakes are high, and there is “no time to waste”.
“We are already locked in for significant damage, and we’re heading in a direction that will see more,” says Tom Oliver, professor of applied ecology at the University of Reading. “I really worry that negative changes could be very rapid.”
