In a letter calling to end immigration detention at Fort Bliss, interviews with 45 people report physical and sexual abuse, medical neglect, and intimidation to self-deport.
The point is pretty clear, the EU is not a genuine democracy in any meaningful sense, It's a neoliberal project run by the most corrupt people imaginable.

I’ve seen tooling for self-contained Clojure apps before, but CRaC is new to me.
The CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) Project researches the coordination of Java programs with mechanisms to checkpoint (make an image of, snapshot) a Java instance while executing. Restoring from the image could solve some of the problems with the start-up and warm-up times. The primary aim of the Project is to develop a new standard mechanism-agnostic API to notify Java programs about the checkpoint and restore events. Other research activities will include, but will not be limited to, integration with existing checkpoint/restore mechanisms and development of new ones, changes to JVM and JDK to make images smaller and ensure they are correct.
Right to health networks are preparing for the upcoming meeting of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Executive Board with a series of in-depth discussions on key agenda items, organized under the umbrella of the Geneva Global Health Hub (G2H2).

Right to health networks are preparing for the upcoming meeting of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Executive Board with a series of in-depth discussions on key agenda items, organized under the umbrella of the Geneva Global Health Hub (G2H2). On January 19, the People’s Health Movement (PHM) launched this discussion cycle with a conversation on WHO’s Global Plan of Action (GPA) for the Health of Indigenous Peoples – an early draft of which Executive Board members will review between February 2 and 7.
In recent years, the health of Indigenous peoples and ancestral medicine have received greater attention in global health forums, following decades of grassroots organizing and advocacy. The document to be reviewed next month builds on discussions from 2023, reflecting growing recognition of Indigenous peoples’ right to the highest attainable standard of health. At the same time, the speakers at the event – as well as the documents under discussion – acknowledged that Indigenous communities continue to face more vulnerability than others, underscoring the need for concerted efforts to realize this right. The draft GPA is thus being developed through consultations, a participatory approach long advocated by civil society within the WHO. As signaled by PHM’s Lauren Paremoer, this has generated cautious optimism among activists.
Ultimately, however, responsibility for the plan’s expected adoption in 2027 lies with WHO Member States, emphasized Alia El-Yassir, Director of WHO’s Department of Gender, Rights, Equity and Sexual Misconduct Prevention. As she walked participants through the current draft and next steps, El-Yassir stressed that many proposed measures – such as ethical data collection and support for Indigenous community members pursuing jobs in health care – require further development and commitment by national governments.
While referring to persistent health inequities faced by Indigenous populations, including higher maternal and infant mortality, higher prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases, and lower life expectancy, El-Yassir also situated these outcomes within broader systems still shaped by colonization and structural racism.
Bolivian Indigenous leader and PHM member Dr. Vivian Camacho echoed these concerns, reflecting on the ongoing marginalization of ancestral knowledge and medicine in spaces dominated by perspectives from the Global North. While traditional medicine has been particularly disparaged, Camacho argued that market-driven approaches to health undermine all forms of health work. “If it’s Western modern medicine or traditional ancestral medicine, it should be a human right, not merchandise, not business,” she said, reiterating a longstanding PHM position. “Without social justice, none of us will have health.”
Indigenous knowledge, participants noted, has not only been sidelined but also exploited for commercial gain, with catastrophic results. This point was raised by Putira Sacuena of Brazil’s Secretariat of Indigenous Health, who cited the example of açaí – a fruit with health-promoting properties that has been recently so aggressively commercialized that it has contributed to environmental degradation in its native ecosystems. The extractivist dynamics that have accompanied the appropriation of ancestral knowledge in the West, speakers agreed, represent serious dangers for both climate justice and planetary survival.
As a result, discussions at the WHO have implications beyond Indigenous communities alone. Over time, they may contribute to a reinvention of health systems and care with the wellbeing of people in mind. However, this outcome should not be taken for granted, Tido von Schoen-Angerer from the Complementary and Integrative Healthcare Coalition cautioned, noting that some WHO Member States, particularly European states, had previously shown limited understanding of alternative systems.
PHM’s discussion concluded with a renewed call to continue campaigning for Indigenous participation in all health-related decision-making processes and to strengthen collaboration between progressive organizations in global health. “It is not interculturality to continue foreign programs imposed on our people, but to have a respectful dialogue between both modern Western medicine and traditional ancestral medicine,” Camacho said. Invoking the legacies of left physicians such as Ernesto Che Guevara and Salvador Allende, she emphasized the need for continued struggle. “From the Global South, we must keep speaking out, because we are places that have been colonized, and we are resisting with our own ways and views.”

That's what things like deb and rpm are for, or scripts to download and compile locally.
Edit: thank you tomalley8342 for being the single person to reply with any basic sense. It's a hell of a thing to thank someone for but with how stupid everyone else has made this comment thread I really do mean it.
I can say that the app works on mobile but I still need to optimize it. The UI is a bit weird when the scaled small and the keyboard doesn't auto-activate because libcosmic is missing support for the wayland protocol used to do that.
tl;dr rust yt-dlp frontend in a flatpak for some reason
This is why we can't have nice things.
~~The community~~ Vocal members thereof, instead of seeing genuine effort as something praiseworthy always find the worst stupid angle to belittle well-meaning people from.
I mean it's not that belittling for sure. But you said something you didn't need to say either. Op is happy sharing their first app and you stating "facts" is something no one asked for. My mother taught me: it's okay to stfu sometimes
yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).
Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.
Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.
I am trying to use it, but when I download the music, nothing shows up in my music directory. I read the logs and saw that it is trying to move the downloads to ~/Music. I don’t have that directory, in my localization, it is ~/Música. I tried creating a symlink, but it did not work. Is there any way to fix this? I can share the logs if you want
I had similar problems where the logs say it moved the file to my Music directory, but the directory was empty. I made multiple attempts using different directories and making sure the app has permissions with flatseal, but no luck.
It seems like a nice app though, I'm gonna keep an eye on it!
On the download done page there is a button on top with a directory icon, which opens the files in a file manager. Can you please try again and click it and tell me where the files have been downloaded to? That may be a mistake on my part
Hey, thanks for the response! I tried again with the recent update (--version says 1.2.1) and still having the problem. The button you refer to opens my file manager in the system root directory, instead of the download directory shown in settings which is now by default set to my home folder instead of ~/Music like in the prior version.
To recreate, I ran the app from the CLI and searched the videos tab for "flowers", then clicked download on the top result. The metadata pages had blank values (are they supposed to populate automatically somehow?), and I clicked through until I got to the final page below.

Edit: forgot to mention, I'm using Fedora Workstation 43, in case that's relevant for you.
Okay interesting. Are you using the Flatpak? If so, can you try running flatpak run --command=bash net.fhannenheim.musicfetch and running xdg-user-dir MUSIC in the bash shell?
Hey, sure no problem. I don't actually have a Music folder ordinarily since I keep my music in a network location instead.
$ flatpak run --command=bash net.fhannenheim.musicfetch
[📦 net.fhannenheim.musicfetch ~]$ xdg-user-dir MUSIC
/home/luke
Flatseal shows that the app has requested permission to access xdg-music, which in my case is my home directory. I would assume that means it should be able to write there, but maybe the "All user files" toggle being off supercedes that? I'm not sure how flatpak permissions work, exactly.
I tried the new version of the app (1.3.1) and it works a little better. As mentioned in my other comment, the app tries by default to write to my home directory, which fails. However, if I manually tell the app to use ~/Downloads instead, then it works!
On the other hand, closing and relaunching the app again clears out what I've manually configured and it tries to write to my home directory again until I change it every time.
(Also, apologies, I should be reporting to your issue tracker instead.)
Cool! I don't really understand the focus on music as you're probably better off using soulseek to find it, but I'm sure there's people who will appreciate this.
Well I'm not really an audophile and on soulseek you mostly get FLACs which are bigger in size. My Music directory is already 10Gb and I'm happy with it being mostly opus which sounds good enough for me
You aren't wrong for liking what you like. But I love subtext, make me riddle out the meaning.
I know this isn't all 'non-subtext' works, but I hate when theres a beautiful passage that neatly implies what a character is thinking and feeling indirectly... Followed by them just blithely stating their current emotional state out loud. Hits like a sack of bricks every time.
i don't hate subtext, but reading some authors who most people consider garbage (very likely on the spectrum), it made me realize that there should be no rules. who decided that subtext was superior than direct text. or poetry better than vulgarity? those are arbitrary rules and stuff that breaks all convections can be amazing.
and I will genuinely hold that Chuck tingle is worth a read. he breaks every single convection, and still makes books are that so loving and wholesome I actually had to hug his trans Harry Potter finalist erotica.
not saying one is bad or better. just that those rules are made up and it's ok to break them.
My mom has pretty old and shitty home HP notebook and I was thinking that since she mainly uses it for browsing Facebook and watching Youtube that I would upgrade it for her to Linux instead of Win 11. The only thing is that I want some lightweight desktop like XFCE or maybe Mate and to make it as painless as possible for her I would like to install Windows 10 looking theme on that machine.
Do you guys know of any good themes that are updated at least on semi-regular?
First of all, I apologize for not answering your specific question about themes but.
To be honest, instead of struggling with themes on XFCE or MATE, you should consider that there isn't much difference in performance right now between those and Cinnamon or KDE Plasma. Both have a workflow very similar to Windows 10 out of the box, which would make the transition much more painless for your mom.
I highly recommend Linux Mint (Cinnamon Edition); it's the gold standard for 'it just works' and feels like Windows 10 without needing extra themes. If you prefer Plasma, Kubuntu or Tuxedo OS are excellent, stable, and beginner-friendly options that run great on older hardware without being 'bleeding edge' or unstable.
KDE has an insane footprint, from my testing. easily 2-4 minutes top from booting up Mint or Void Xfce, and GL getting KDE (tested using Chimera and Fedora) to fully load up in under 15 minutes. Of course, this is all live booting, but still…
What hardware are you running this on? I've got Ubuntu with KDE running on some ancient Pentium dual core systems from like 2009 or 2010, and it boots to desktop in ~30 seconds or so.
So I checked the specs, I misremembered. The CPU in the systems I'm using is a Pentium G630 @2.7 GHz with 4gb of ddr3. Benchmarks put that at about double the Celeron N3060 in performance. I'm also booting from an internal SATA SSD.
I think the most limiting factor for you is the live boot, it is pretty much always slower to boot from a live image than from an install.
Fast storage is relative. It works flawlessly on a budget SATA SSD from like 10 years ago. It would probably have a 1-2 minute load time on a SATA spinning disk, but I have not used a system with a spinning disk boot drive in years.
No KDE for new users, it's way too convoluted and bloated ui-wise. It also uses lots of ram, more than cinnamon. XFce is indeed much lighter than either, but it doesn't have enough desktop preference panels like Cinnamon does (e.g. printer panel).
Honestly I installed Kubuntu when I started trying Linux a couple of months ago and it's the system that I stuck with and wasn't completely confused, compared to the standard Ubuntu or Linux Mint which I tried beforehand and decided to uninstall
KDE is incredibly "windows like", the "bloat" you might be refering to are options. The only criticism I agree with here is the footprint, KDE is indeed heavy and not recommanded for old machines.
KDE? Lightweight? Even cinnamon is incredibly heavy next to xfce and lxde. Have you ever used a sub-4GB of memory machine?
I do second mint (LMDE) for a non gamer and non tech savy windows 10 refugee though, it's debian so, stable, and cinnamon is an okay-ish middle ground between KDE usability and xfce weight.
I second the recommendation of Linux Mint. Try a Live USB, and see if it feels fast. If it does, it is a great option.
In terms of theme, have you considered that Linux Mint's theme is sexy as hell? I wouldn't install it apologetically. I think it sells itself well.
Edit: and the practical stuff is all in the same places as on Windows, anyway. Start menu is in the lower left. Bar is along the bottom. Time and network applet are in the lower right.
The few ways I have noticed it is different seem to be because Mint doesn't require corporate branding and names a few things in plain language, instead of MS jargon.
I found a Windows XP theme for Cinnamon. Not because I need it to look like Windows, but because nostalgia can be fun and XP was iconic. The bit I really like is the actual Windows XP default system sounds I also got my paws on, though. That was back when software developers cared about good soundscapes!
Though I have to admit, the classic grey boxy look basically every computer GUI had in the 90s is also something I really like. So maybe I'm just way more stuck in the old days of tech than my chronological age might suggest is possible.
My XFce Win11-like theme under Linux #Mint. The theme has a couple of bugs, but overall it works well.
I found that XFce is the most themeable of the DEs, however it has started showing its age. For example, no connection of open apps to their launcher (they open a second icon), no "live" thumbnail of an open app, etc.
Abu Hamza, the spokesperson of the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), says the group handed the coordinates for the location of the body of Ran Gvili to the mediators three weeks ago based on new information.
“But the enemy deliberately delayed the coordination and search operations,” Abu Hamza alleged.
The Israeli military says the remains of Ran Gvili, the last Israeli captive in the Gaza Strip, have been retrieved, clearing the way for the next phase of a ceasefire deal agreed in October.
“Following the completion of the identification process by the National Centre of Forensic Medicine, in cooperation with the Israel Police and the Military Rabbinate, [military] representatives informed the family of the late Ran Gvili that his body has been returned for burial,” said army spokesman Avichay Adraee.
Donald Trump is threatening Cuba: “Make a deal or else…” But in December 2014, the Cuban government already made a deal with another U.S. president, Barack Obama. Obama loosened sanctions and the two countries started normalizing relations. U.S. companies and movie stars flocked to Havana.
Even Donald Trump thought the opening was a good idea. That was no shocker. Back then, Trump and Marco Rubio weren't exactly friends.
So what changed? Trump made a deal. Not with Cuba, but with Rubio.
Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández looks at how Trump reversed course once in office, and how U.S. politics, driven by Marco Rubio, reshaped Cuba policy.

Yunio was a Cuban communications specialist in the Ministry of the Interior. A cryptographer. The father of three children.
He was sent to Venezuela on an internationalist mission, which was helping Yunio save money to buy a house. None of his friends and family imagined that he was at risk. Yunio died on January 3, when U.S. military forces killed more than 100 people while abducting Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro.
In this interview, journalist Claudia Rafaela Ortiz remembers her close friend: his work, his deep sense of duty, his dreams, and the moment she learned that he had been killed during the U.S. attack.
“I’m doing this interview because it is my way of fighting against what killed him. I have no desire to remain silent and suffer until it passes, or until at some point I forget that I lost one of my best friends,” said Claudia to Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández.

Nvidia has confirmed "Globes" report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.
According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.
The kickstarter for the Mecha Comet just launched the other day and I am seriously considering backing it as I love the idea of the device as a whole.
Originally when I heard about the project a couple of years back I thought it would be good to have to try and replace my phone for the most part but still have a phone handset setup solely to run as a hotspot for the Comet to run through. Now with the launch of the kickstarter I see that there is actually a physical sim card slot and an LTE modem available so maybe it could be used outright as a phone without needing a second device to use as a modem!
Is anyone familiar with this device beyond the info detailed in the kickstarter? I'd be interested to hear further details if anyone has any, maybe someone here has had hands on experience with some of the units that were shown at CES (I think it was there)
Do you guys think it would be viable to use as your only handset?
I guess I'm mostly looking for more knowledgeable peoples opinions on it but also make people aware of it if they hadn't heard of it to hopef

Probably not mainline kernel, but at least not Android. I don't so much care þat it runs mainline, but þat any drivers þey write for þe hardware is open sourced. If, say, it needs a special driver for a chip which isn't in mainline, I'm Ok so long as þat driver is FOSS.
Are we saying þe same þing? Or are you needing it to not require external kernel drivers?
Edit: down furþer it implies MechanixOS is mainly þe distro; Linux 6.12 plus
Our graphical shell designed for the Comet's unique form factor powered by the GPU.
Looks like þey based it on Fedora 43.
Þe repos is mainly Rust and Flutter apps like a file browser, music player, etc. Basic minimum smart phone apps.
I want to update a device I use and not replace it when the manufacturer decides to no longer release updates, often after just two years or less.
Therefore I need mainline kernel support.
That's why I use a Pixel 3a with Mobian, which I've ported. I can just use it with a mainline kernel. And that's why I'm working on mainline support for the Xperia 10 III.
I don't want to use a device that'll become a security nightmare after a while, it doesn't matter how great the hardware is if I cannot use it securely.
What is your experience with the Pixel 3a and Linux? I’m mainly curious about calls. The last time I tried a Linux phone, only the PinePhone could reliably receive calls, because the modem is a separate board that wakes the main one on an incoming call.
camera: There are some wip patches, so that should improve in the next weeks. Currently photos do not look very good.
phone calls: Only through the phone, speakers and headphone jack, but not yet via Bluetooth
battery life: I think it's better than on Android
phone calls on standby: That's wip and will come, but for now you'd have to disable standby. Battery life is still what I'd describe as "good", especially considering the age of the Pixel 3a
The issue with waking up for calls is that you need to tell the modem what events you want to wake up for. Currently it is either "everything" or "nothing" and waking up from everything means constantly waking up as the modem reports the signal strength. That "filter" is currently being built, but I haven't followed it closely so no idea whether it is ready now.
If it is, I'd make sure this gets into Mobian, but not sure who's working on it and who to ask.
For calls on suspend (and functioning GPS, and emergency alerts, and some SUPL fixes), I'd recommend checking out the latest ModemManager commits.
I ran into another problem though (which may or may not be fixed), where travelling to a different location while suspended can cause missed calls, even after the device wakes up: gitlab.postmarketos.org/postma…
For the others: The one that did sooo much work getting the kernel running well on the Pixel 3a :D
Maybe you can elaborate a bit on the camera and what's missing there to take full advantage of the camera and what's missing for Bluetooth calls.
I haven't really followed those topics.
And for sensors, I have another question: When I start hexagonrpcd on Mobian, the whole device seems to completely lock up. The screen just will be stuck until the battery runs out. Is that a Mobian issue or a kernel thing that also happens on pmOS?
The ADSP crashes on resume if HexagonRPCD is invoking while suspended. In postmarketOS, it gets terminated before suspend.
The only unsupported camera hardware are the rear stabilizer and focus. @katzenmann made a focus driver but it can't set the focus to a value that we want.
For Bluetooth calls, @dylanvanassche made a draft MR that curently fails. It might work if ported to the Pixel 3a which only uses SLIM for Bluetooth. gitlab.com/sdm845-mainline/lin…
The SDM845 SoC contains 2 SLIMBus Controllers, one for the WCD934x codec and another one for the WCN3990 Bluetooth codec. The secondary SLIMBus Controller allows offloading Bluetooth audio...
As you mentioned Modem Manager, do you know whether there's a way to make the device always use a specific SIM slot booting up? It always starts the modem on the eSIM, so I have to switch to the physical SIM.
The term would be "close to mainline", some patches are still being sent upstream and getting merged. You could use a fully mainline kernel, but the sdm670 repo has better support for now. At least the day when everything is upstreamed will come.
all of that extra bullshit is 100% landfill fodder. Just give me a phone with OLED touchscreen, good camera, modern and decent cpu/gpu/npu, big battery, and a proper Linux distro. Essentially give me a OnePlus phone with Non-Android Linux.
I guess everyone is different. I want a decent physical keyboard as I hate touchscreens and I don't give a shit about cameras although we can definitely agree on non android! :D
Just leaned about this and backed it this morning. Probably an impulse buy I'll regret.
The idea of a phone replacement crossed my mind as an after thought.
Mostly going for it for novelty and I thought it could be nice to have a handheld to maybe do some development on. The keyboard will likely frustrate me and the screen will probably strain my aging eyes.
Yeah I shouldn't be able to buy things before my first cup of coffee.
