Missiles launched by Hezbollah achieved at least one “direct hit” in the greater Tel Aviv area late on 18 November after air defenses failed to intercept the barrage launched from Lebanon.
Impacts were reported by the Israeli municipalities of Bnei Brak and Ramat Gan, located just east of Tel Aviv. According to the military, only fragments of the missiles hit the populated areas, injuring at least five.
However, the district police commander for Ramat Gan told Israeli media that the damage in the city “is not fragments of an interceptor but a heavy missile hit.”
The impacts in Israel's economic hub came following a large missile barrage launched from Lebanon. According to reports in Israeli media, the projectile that bypassed air defense systems was the Fateh 110 surface-to-surface ballistic missile.
The Lebanese resistance's latest attack on Tel Aviv comes after the Israeli army significantly escalated its attacks across Lebanon, hitting the country over 300 times in the span of 48 hours.
Let’s see how the incoming regime goes. Most people seem to view him as a useful idiot and it wouldn’t be difficult for trump to bury him by ripping up contracts or regulating him into obscurity
NEW DELHI: Residents in India's northern states woke up to another day of poor air quality on Tuesday (Nov 19), as a layer of dense fog shrouded most of the region, and pollution in the capital Delhi remained severe.
Hmm right. Maybe replace TM with BTW. Pacman won't stay at 7.0.0 either. Maybe over time you make newer or alternative versions. :D The overall layout of the elements and the styling looks good, no complaint there.
Idk, ~five years doesn't seem like a long time with regards to CPUs. I had my Ryzen 2200G from summer 2018 to this January, and I would consider my purchase of a cheap Ryzen 3600 to be a bit premature (and it was definitely an impulse purchase). And it also means that the CPU sticker became outdated pretty soon.
I just feel that it's technically wrong to call it x64. x86 is the architecture. The x belongs there, so x86-64 makes more sense, but not "x64". It's a marketing term, but it still bothers me.
The U.S. Department of Justice will ask a judge to force Alphabet's Google GOOGL.O to sell off its Chrome internet browser, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the plans.
The DOJ will also ask the judge, who ruled in August that Google illegally monopolized the search market, to require measures related to artificial intelligence and its Android smartphone operating system, the report said.
The DOJ declined to comment. Google, in a statement from Lee-Anne Mulholland, Vice President, Google Regulatory Affairs, said the DOJ is pushing a "radical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case," and would harm consumers.
If it happens, who would buy it? Amazon, M$? Much good that would do, just shift power from one giant to the next. Maybe if IBM bought it and ran it to the ground after a few years…
lmao this is hilarious after decades of accusing Chinese companies of "stealing" tech from western companies. Which even if true would be cool and good.
Are you claiming China doesn’t steal tech? It’s rather well known that they do. Didn’t know that was a fact up for debate. DuPont alone has lost billions in IP theft alone to the Chinese.
It sounds surprising given the headline, but looks quite reasonable when looking at the details in the article: * The requirement is part of a tender for €1bn worth of grants to develop batteries. It only affect companies who engage in this tender. * This is in part a response, at a smaller scale, to China's own regime that "pressures foreign companies into sharing their intellectual property in exchange for access to the Chinese market. "
This is one of the features I miss on Windows (github.com/Collective-Software…), I was wondering if there was an alternative to this for Linux?
Essentially instead of pasting all the text from your clipboard, it will type out the contents as though the letters were typed on the keyboard. One by one. This allowed me to "paste" into VMs and other places that I normally couldn't.
The ol' google gave me nothing but "How to paste into terminal" posts which is not what I want.
I work around this by enabling rdp or ssh on guests as soon as possible and connect from my terminal for ssh, I use remmina for rdp, paste works there.
I don't know other situations where I would need this.
Pipe your clipboard contents through either of those depending on your windowing system. I'd recommend putting that in a script and binding it to a keyboard shortcut.
I'm on Wayland these days, but if you happen to be using X11 this is the homebrew solution I used to use:
xdotool type --delay 50 "$(xclip -o -sel c)"
The --delay argument specifies the delay in milliseconds between keystrokes; if you go too low on that it tends to break things.
Interested to see what solrize comes up with because this method definitely has drawbacks -- no way to interrupt it and if you accidentally paste something large it takes a long time to finish due to the forced delays.
I've never really had the need for a Wayland version, but I don't see why subbing ydotool for xdotool and wl-paste for xclip wouldn't work.
If you pasted something long, you could possible switch to a terminal (ctrl+alt+f2 or something), and kill the process. Or you could grab another machine, and ssh into yours to kill the process.
Works awesome! Thanks for introducing me to xdotool, what a helpful utility. Question: what does the --file flag in your command do? I can't find it in the manpage
The Israel Defense Forces is allowing armed Palestinians to loot aid convoys entering Gaza and to extort protection money from them, say sources in international aid organizations working in the enclave.
The sources told Haaretz that the armed men who belong to two clans from the Rafah district have blocked a large portion of the aid shipments entering Gaza through Israel's Kerem Shalom crossing.
The looting is systematic, they said, yet the IDF has turned a blind eye. And since some of the aid groups refuse to pay protection money, the aid often ends up sitting in warehouses that are under Israeli army control.
Armed clans in the Rafah area are blocking trucks entering Gaza from Israel, leading some organizations to avoid sending desperately needed humanitarian aid.
Polisen om den ökade uppklarningen. Polisens menar att ett förändrat arbetssätt lett till att brottsuppklarningen vad det gäller våldsbrott i den kriminella miljön ökat markant. Enligt preliminära siffror för skjutvapenmord ser de ut att klara 72 procent av ärendena 2023.
Bomb på Gärdet i Stockholm kopplad till utpressningsärende. I söndags sprängdes en port på Gärdet i Stockholm. Enligt uppgifter i Aftonbladet kopplar polisen bomben till ett utpressningsärende som just nu behandlas i tingsrätten.

A popular feature of BlueSky that really gets new users' feeds going is their Starter Packs.
Mastodon Migration Blog is replicating this good idea for the Fediverse with follow packs. These are csv files that can be downloaded and imported into Mastodon to follow a bunch of users around a topic.

This process is indeed much clunkier than bluesky and not really accessible to a new user, but it's a good start and perhaps some servers or 3rd party apps could streamline this eventually? Even just going account-by-account in the list a dozen times and following each one manually would fill an empty feed pretty well.
The Pixelfed developer is actively working to get a streamlined solution for Starter Packs out for all kinds of ActivityPub servers that will use existing APIs and methods that already exist within the protocol. He mentioned it should be available in beta in a day or two.
Heck yeah! This is what I love about the Fediverse, we all don't have to wait for one team to figure it out.
Since Multi-Communities seem a ways away, Lemmy could do something similar with Community Subscription packs, where people with different niche interests could follow a number of communities related to a topic. Right now it's not always easy to find which instance has the most active ones.
It really is great! The amount of innovation and creativity in regard to the Fediverse is amazing. Although Bluesky seems to be blowing up big right now, I’m actually hopeful that it will motivate those of us within the ActivityPub realm to create even more and it seems to already be happening.
I’d love to see an easier path of entry to Lemmy as well. “Community Packs” would be a great way to help with that!
PieFed already has categories of communities. It would be hard for Lemmy to copy the code into Rust I imagine. There is an open feature request to add API support to PieFed, at which point perhaps the same front end apps could serve both Lemmy and PieFed? I don't know which ones may have categories of communities though.
I'm here out of sheer bloody mindedness, it felt like both Lemmy and Mastodon actively resisted me using them at. every. step. from discovery of service to accessing service to finding content
I'm not criticising my right to put in extra work to make promising efforts available on platforms that do not track users; I criticise the fact that the developers didn't do this in the first place.
But good work putting the onus on me, you complete corporate rando.
The Mammoth for Mastodon app has curated smart lists and a For You feed. It can also suggest people to follow based on your interests. I think that’s an easier way to get new users started vs importing a csv file which the average internet user will be too lazy to do.
Misskey and its forks have had user recommendations for forever now. Suddenly this is an issue for Mastodon, but it wouldn't have been an issue for the fediverse if Mastodon didn't have a functional monopoly over the conversation.
It's really showing the huge issues with fediverse monoculture, too, that is driven in no small part by Mastodon. Mastodon is designed with very limited theming, very limited ability to self-brand, etc. It's designed so that every Mastodon website looks just like every other. This gives most people the impression that Mastodon is a place on the Internet, in the same way that, say, Facebook is, rather than a website platform like WordPress.
The magic of being able to see what people post on other websites from the one you're using gets totally overwritten by the expectation that everything is actually the same place. And once you have that expectation, Mastodon kind of feels broken. "What do you mean I can't see all of the comments? Why not?", "What do you mean you're denying me access to those people over there?", etc.
And don't even get me started on the people lobbying for limited functionality because they want to own the commons and dictate how people use the public and open communication protocol.
I mean, yeah. Especially when the content of your flawlessly customised site is federated to thousands other activity pub enabled sites with different stylesheets and aesthetics. That isn't a problem with Mastodon per se, it's just the nature of federation.
I do agree with your broader point that Mastodon has become synonymous with fediverse microblogging, which again is what most people associate with the fediverse, period.
The issue isn't where the content lands, it's the erasure of the local. The idea of branding is to help create a local community on the server that has access to the rest of the social web, rather than an impersonal general node on the network.
What we really want is people who are into, I don't know, really into Mazdas coming together to talk to each other on MazdaFans.social, with bespoke theming and branding, while also having access to anything else that they want from startrek.social, weirdbugs.social, etc. What we have is everyone on generic omninodes looking for hashtag mazda, totally unsure if they'll find anything.
I use misskey too, but I wouldn't call user recommendations the same as BlueSky Starter Packs or this. It's more of a starting point for specific topics rather than just generally popular users or algorithmically determined recommendations. Instead it's a set of lists of curated users for people to get their feed started, who will then follow more people that those users boost.
Unrelated: Maybe it's just my Japanese misskey instance and followings, but most people there just say they woke up, had a nice meal, came back from work, or just the random thought on their mind, and a lot of supporting reactions under each.
A U.N. memo obtained by The Post concluded that gangs “may be benefiting from a passive if not active benevolence” or “protection” from Israel’s military.
As for discoverability, posting frequently to your local community can help you reach a wider audience. Additionally, using relevant hashtags can significantly boost your content's visibility, as many people use them to find new content.
As a general rule, try to also include a description of who you are on your profile. If you're active people will check in, if you give some sort of description there they are more likely to actually follow you.
Usually when someone follows me I'll check out their profile, if they look interesting I'll follow them back. If their profile is empty I usually won't.
Why did this put Threads first? It's not chronologically? And it's not user counts? This seems free advertising for a service that hardly compares even with the likes of Xhitter - which isn't even one of the options?
As the recent USA election shows, nothing is billionaire-"proof". They could e.g. put huge tariffs on purchasing server machines, or on non-mobile-device internet access, or use of any IP address that is not registered with a central authority and verified(TM) to run only M$-"approved" software.
Also I thought there is no (real) account migration on Mastodon either (at least, people have definitely reported feeling "stuck" in that while they can move, will any of their followers be able to successfully follow them after they do?). Nor can celebrities prevent people from impersonating them on new instances - which according to them is why they haven't joined it (last I heard).
Sorry, I am probably vastly overthinking this, and the graphical style is cute. I think I'm just overreacting to the idea that Mastodon seems to be having an identity crisis whe

Sorry, I am probably vastly overthinking this, and the graphical style is cute. I think I'm just overreacting to the idea that Mastodon seems to be having an identity crisis where it both wants to be something entirely different than Xhitter, while also competing with / replacing it at the same time, yet refusing to do the things that would make that happen (like make changes to be more welcoming to celebrities). If we want to remain a niche, like a federated service for the common person, then just do that?
I’m sorry, the platform that allows you to use a custom domain as your identity has “no account portability”, as opposed to the one where you have to manually copy over almost everything?
Yes because as I understand it the custom domain is basically just a pointer. Everything still goes through the bsky servers and you can be deplatformed there at the whim of an admin/mod (On Mastodon if you don't run your own instance that can still happen, but you can instance hop. If you run your own then other instances can block your instance but it's not the whole network all at once)
I was surprised to learn how little the domain as user name feature actually means, after setting it up with my bridged account.
The real user names on Bluesky are called DIDs. Different URLs can point to a DID, making your profile discoverable through this URL. By default it'll be username.bsky.app (or username.instance.bsky.brid.gy), but as long as the URL redirects to the DID it could really be anything.
Several such redirects could be active, but you choose one to be the "official" one that shows up on your profile. People don't follow your domain though - when they interact with you, they interact with the account associated with the underlying DID.
It's basically just smoke and mirrors for what is still a very centralized service.
It is still, of course, more decentralized than Twitter, as one can post there through the bridge without having an account. So that's neat. But the whole domain thing is deceiving as hell.
I had the same thoughts about using a domain as username and it is basically smoke and mirrors. I did not know however that you can use a domain for a bridged account. Are you saying that my ActivityPub account that is bridged to Bluesky can have a username that is a domain that I own?
