Newly released U.S. Justice Department filings in the Jeffrey Epstein case describe the financier as a “wealth manager” for Vladimir Putin. The claim comes from an FBI report dated Nov. 27, 2017. Putin is mentioned 1,055 times in the documents; “Russia” 5,876.

A Russian drone strike killed 12 and injured 16 miners who had just finished their shift at a coal mine in east-central Ukraine on Sunday afternoon.
The strike hit a bus carrying workers from a mine run by DTEK.
Elon Musk said on Sunday that moves by his SpaceX company to stop the 'unauthorized' use by Russia of its internet system Starlink seemed to have worked, while Kyiv's defence chief said officials were working on ways to prevent any future use by Moscow.

22 years ago, Megadeth released the album "The System Has Failed". Dave Mustaine wrote the lyrics. I asked ChatGPT to tell me what each song is about, and to determine whether our society in 2026 has reached the point described in each song. It wasn't a bad prediction. Here are the songs:
1. Blackmail the Universe
Governments using fear, war, and propaganda to control populations.
Already There… fear politics + permanent crisis mode is normalized.
(1/5)
8. Something That I’m Not
Media distortion, character assassination.
Already There… algorithmic outrage + pile-ons as default.
9. Truth Be Told
Self-deception, moral hypocrisy.
High… everyone’s “right,” few are honest.
10. Of Mice and Men
Greed, exploitation, the powerful crushing the weak.
Already There… economic pressure is structural, not accidental.
(4/5)
11. Shadow of Deth
Instrumental mood piece… looming threat, unease.
Already There… permanent background anxiety is the soundtrack.
12. My Kingdom
Personal autonomy, reclaiming control in a broken world.
Medium… people want sovereignty, systems resist it.
(5/5)

The Trump administration intends to appeal a judge’s order that released a 5-year-old child from #ICE detention. This appeal could potentially lead to the child’s return to ICE custody.
#ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.
If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.
#ICE goons tried to go incognito for Mexican food in Minneapolis; local protesters made sure they left hungry and humiliated.

More details are emerging about the russian attack on the bus with miners.
The first Shahed exploded near the bus. People ran, tried to help each other. The operator saw this — and sent a second drone straight at them.
This was a deliberate attack on civilians.
16 people died.
A young couple visited the Alley of Heroes in the Ukrainian city of Zhmerynka on their wedding day.
The groom, the son of a fallen Ukrainian soldier, bowed with his fiancée before his father's memorial, seeking a spiritual blessing for their journey ahead.

As Windows typically does not have a centralised update feature, then huge amount of apps have selfwritten updaters. Those may include similar errors like the weak signing of updates, which in combination of errors by hosting providers may provide similar vulnerabity paths.
So does it mean there a need for a generic open-source windows lib to manage app updates correctly?

Come la #intelligenzaArtificiale influisce sulla formazione delle competenze. Studio svolto nell'ambito del programma #Anthropic Fellows
Lo studio analizza come l’IA influenzi l’apprendimento nel coding. Sebbene migliori la produttività immediata, l’uso passivo compromette la comprensione concettuale e le capacità di debugging. Risulta fondamentale un impegno cognitivo attivo per evitare l'erosione delle competenze tecniche.

Hubzilla, Collabora Office and OpenWebAuth - A Match Made in Heaven
The integration of Collabora Office into Hubzilla brings real-time collaboration to the Hubzilla Files app. What truly sets this apart from other known implementations though is OpenWebAuth, enabling seamless, network-wide real-time collaboration across hubs 😎
@DHeadshot's Alt Because it can. And because its concept is to be not the Swiss Army knife, but the Leatherman Surge of the Fediverse. One server application that can cover just about any Fediverse use-case.
Hubzilla is not Friendica meets Lemmy. It's more like Friendica upgraded from decentralised to nomadic, with the identity decoupled from the login, equipped with a more powerful permissions system and enhanced to also be a DAV server and a "social content management system" that offers optional features such as (formatted, non-federating) planning cards, articles, wikis and webpages.
Basically, Hubzilla is Bonfire, but much older with almost 16 years of development behind it, much more stable, much more powerful, much more resilient and not ordered from wish.com. Just about whatever Bonfire promises to offer at some point in the future, Hubzilla already has it and even more on top.

in reply to bamfic • • •Maybe all functioning, sustainable, stable human interactions are based on mutual respect/aid/cooperation, regardless of whether anyone wants to admit it or not.
Good faith interactions and good character could be more important to a functioning society than whatever systems and structures are created for it or imposed on it, or the labels given to it.
