No one here wants this. It’s an incredibly small minority of morons and nothing will ever come of it. It’s just a bunch of noise because our premier is a piece of dog shit.

Israel says it has found the body of the last Israeli captive left in Gaza, amid local reports of heavy shelling and bulldozing during the search.
According to the Wafa news agency, the operations to find Ran Gvili, a 24-year-old policeman, were launched on Sunday morning.
The Israeli army carried out extensive bulldozing operations in the area of al-Sanafour and around the al-Batsh cemetery, located east of Gaza City.
Several graves were desecrated during the search for Gvili, who was found east of Gaza City.
Dozens of injuries and killings in the area have been reported since Sunday as a result of heavy artillery shelling and intense gunfire from military vehicles and quadcopter drones.

I just wish I could have Secure Boot on a Mac, that's the reason I don't have one running Linux, currently on a ThinkPad X13s with a Snapdragon SoC. Encryption without something like Secure Boot... nah.
Once that's a thing, though, it gets very interesting to me.
do you mean cryptographic keys? or metaphoric keys? becausd they dont need to give any cryptographics keys at all, just look how it is done on x86, you can just add your own keys and most boards let you disable the builtin ones
As there's currently no functionality for that type of Secure Boot, it'd require an exploit that manupulates the firmware, which is unlikely to happen any time soon.
The M-series hardware is locked down and absofuckinglutely proprietary and locked down and most likely horrible to repair.
But holy shit, every other laptop I’ve ever used looks and feels like a cheap toy in comparison. Buggy firmware that can barely sleep, with shitty drivers from the cheapest components they could find. Battery life in low single digits. The old ThinkPads are kinda up there in perceived ”build quality”, but I haven’t seen any other laptop that’s even close to a modern macbook. Please HP, Dell, Lenovo, Framework or whoever , just give me a functional high quality laptop. I’ll pay.
i almost want to see affordable laptops, that focus on ergonomics and dependability over cutting edge specs... the build quality is so important for using a device long term - i had a mac laptop that i bought for like 10 years ago and it amazingly still works...
I can only offer you garbage specs along with really shitty build quality for 1kEUR. It’s certified as ”not a direct fire hazard”. Take it or leave it. (/s)
I have high hopes for framework, but last time I was in the market they still had some things to resolve.
it is quite unfortunate that only x86 UEFI vendors have an option (and only because it is part of the specification to have) to add your own secure boot keys, it allows for user freedom without compromising with the potential security benefit that secure boot can provide
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). 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.

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.

PS: I tried again with another song (Big Boogie - Shut Up) that seems to have metadata available from however MusicFetch is finding metadata. The logs are slightly different in that it seems to attempt to save the file where it is configured to do so (the home folder), but there's still not actually a file saved in that location when I click to open in my file manager:

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.
