The Guardian article on Ukrainian feminist horror films
Ukrainian audiences, now mostly women due to men at war, flock to homegrown feminist horror where witches and zombies battle russian forces; the genre offers catharsis, market appeal, and taps rich folklore amid real conflict.
Homegrown, female-driven scary movies in which witches and zombies lay waste to invading troops are proving popular in Ukraine. But why seek out horror on screen if you have so much of it in real life?
I know that many people don't like complex or intransparent recommendation algorithms.
Currently, there are "subscribed", "local" and "all" categories (at least in the default lemmy web UI).
I would like to change this to include custom topics ("listings"). They are a custom way of choosing content (in case of Lemmy listings). In Lemmy, custom listings appear just like standard listings (API-wise), just that instead of "https://discuss.tchncs.de/?dataType=Post&listingType=Subscribed&sort=Active" you have "https: //discuss.tchncs.de/?dataType=Post&listingType=list:AAAA4865698@lemmy.world&sort=Active" or something.
Listings could either be lists of communities and other listings. Consider this simple text file to describe a listing for a memes-topic: (that contains 2 communities, everything on 1 domain, and another sub-listing)

Gene Therapy Aims To Slow Huntington’s Disease To A Crawl
Despite the best efforts of modern medicine, Huntington’s disease is a condition that still comes with a tragic prognosis. Primarily an inherited disease, its main symptoms concern degeneration of the brain, leading to issues with motor control, mood disturbance, with continued degradation eventually proving fatal.
Researchers have recently made progress in finding a potential treatment for the disease. A new study has indicated that an innovative genetic therapy could hold promise for slowing the progression of the disease, greatly improving patient outcomes.

Gene Therapy Aims To Slow Huntingtonโs Disease To A Crawl
Despite the best efforts of modern medicine, Huntingtonโs disease is a condition that still comes with a tragic prognosis. Primarily an inherited disease, its main symptoms concern degeneration of the brain, leading to issues with motor control, mood disturbance, with continued degradation eventually proving fatal.
Researchers have recently made progress in finding a potential treatment for the disease. A new study has indicated that an innovative genetic therapy could hold promise for slowing the progression of the disease, greatly improving patient outcomes.
Treatment
Huntingtonโs disease stems from a mutation in the huntingtin gene, which is responsible for coding for the huntingtin protein. This gene contains a repeated sequence referred to as a trinucleotide repeat, where the same three DNA bases repeat multiple times. The repeat count varies between individuals, and can change from generation to generation due to genetic mutation. If the number of repeats becomes too long, the gene no longer codes for huntingtin protein, and produces mutant huntingtin protein instead. The mutated protein eventually leads to neural degeneration. This genetic basis is key to the heritability of Huntingtonโs disease. If one parent carries a faulty gene, their children have a fifty percent chance of inheriting it and eventually developing the disease themselves. Over generations, the number of repeats can increase and lead to symptoms appearing at an earlier age. Excessive repeats in a critical gene are the root cause of Huntingtonโs disease. Credit: NIST, public domain The new treatment relies on advanced genetic techniques to slow the disease in its tracks. It involves the use of a custom designed virus, which is inserted into the brain itself in specific key areas. Itโs a delicate surgical process that takes anywhere from 12 to 18 hours, using real-time scanning to ensure the viral payload is placed exactly where it needs to go. The virus carries a DNA sequence and delivers it to brain cells, which begin processing the DNA to produce small fragments of genetic material called microRNA. These fragments intercept the messenger RNA that is produced from the bodyโs own DNA instructions, which is responsible for producing the mutant huntingtin protein which causes the degenerative disease. In this way, mutant huntingtin levels are reduced, drastically slowing the progression of the disease.
The effects of the treatment are potentially game changing, with progression of the disease slowed by 75% in study patients. Results indicate that with effective treatment, the decline expected over one year would instead take a full four years. In more qualitative areas, some patients in the trial have managed to maintain the ability to walk at a point when they would typically be expected to require wheel chairs. In typical Huntingtonโs cases, the onset occurs between 30 to 50 years old, with a life expectancy of just 15 to 20 years after diagnosis. The hope is that by delaying the progression of the disease, affected patients could have a greater quality of life for much longer, without suffering the worst impacts of the condition. A microscopic image of a neuron damaged by mutated Huntingtin (mHtt) protein inclusion, visible via orange stain. Credit: Dr Steven Finkbeiner, CC BY-SA 3.0 The initial trial involved just twenty-nine patients, but results were promising. Data indicated consistent benefit to patients three years after the initial surgery. Crucially, the treatment isnโt just slowing symptoms, but there is also evidence it helped to preserve brain tissue. Markers of neuronal death in spinal fluid, which would typically increase as Huntingtonโs disease progresses, were actually lower than before treatment in study patients.
The therapy isnโt without complications. Beyond the complicated and highly invasive brain surgery required to get the virus where it needs to go, some patients developed inflammation from the virus causing some side effects like headaches and confusion. Thereโs also the expense โ advanced gene therapies donโt come cheap. However, on the positive side, itโs believed the treatment could potentially be a one-off matter, as the brain cells that produce the critical microRNA fragments are not replaced regularly like other more disposable cells in the body. While itโs a new and radical treatment, pharmaceutical company UniQure has plans to bring it to market as soon as late 2026 in the US, with the European market to follow.
Itโs not every day that scientists discover a new viable cure for a disease that has long proven fatal. However, through genetic techniques and a strong understanding of the causative factors of the disease, it appears scientists have made progress in tackling the spectre that is Huntingtonโs disease. For the many thousands of patients grappling with the disease, and the many descendents who struggle with potentially having inherited the condition, news of a potential treatment is a very good thing indeed.

CHAT CONTROL 2.0 THROUGH THE BACK DOOR – Breyer warns: “The EU is playing us for fools – now they’re scanning our texts and banning teens!”
Just before a decisive meeting in Brussels, digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament Dr. Patrick Breyer is sounding the alarm. Using a “deceptive sleight of hand,” a mandatory and expanded Chat Control is being pushed through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan. The legislative package could be greenlit tomorrow in a closed-door EU working group session.
“This is a political deception of the highest order,” warns Breyer. “Following loud public protests, several member states including Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Austria said ‘No’ to indiscriminate Chat Control.

CHAT CONTROL 2.0 THROUGH THE BACK DOOR โ Breyer warns: โThe EU is playing us for fools โ now theyโre scanning our texts and banning teens!โ
Just before a decisive meeting in Brussels, digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament Dr. Patrick Breyer is sounding the alarm. Using a โdeceptive sleight of hand,โ a mandatory and expanded Chat Control is being pushed through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan. The legislative package could be greenlit tomorrow in a closed-door EU working group session.
โThis is a political deception of the highest order,โ warns Breyer. โFollowing loud public protests, several member states including Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Austria said โNoโ to indiscriminate Chat Control. Now itโs coming back through the back door โ disguised, more dangerous, and more comprehensive than ever. The public is being played for fools.โ
According to Breyer, the new compromise proposal is a Trojan horse containing three poison pills for digital freedom:
1. MANDATORY CHAT CONTROL โ MASKED AS โRISK MITIGATIONโ Officially, explicit scanning obligations have been dropped. But a loophole in Article 4 of the new draft obliges providers of e-mail, chat and messenger services like WhatsApp to take โall appropriate risk mitigation measures.โ This means they can still be forced to scan all private messages โ including on end-to-end encrypted services. โThe loophole renders the much-praised removal of detection orders worthless and negates their supposed voluntary nature,โ says Breyer. โEven client-side scanning (CSS) on our smartphones could soon become mandatory โ the end of secure encryption.โ
2. TOTAL SURVEILLANCE OF TEXT CHATS: A โDIGITAL WITCH HUNTโ The supposedly voluntary โChat Control 2.0โ goes far beyond the previously discussed scanning of photos, videos, and links. Now, algorithms and AI can be used to mass-scan the private chat texts and metadata of all citizens for suspicious keywords and signals. โNo AI can reliably distinguish between a flirt, sarcasm, and criminal โgroomingโ,โ explains Breyer. โImagine your phone scanning every conversation with your partner, your daughter, your therapist and leaking it just because the word โloveโ or โmeetโ appears somewhere. This is not child protection โ this is a digital witch hunt. The result will be a flood of false positives, placing innocent citizens under general suspicion and exposing masses of private, even intimate, chats and photos to strangers.โ Under the current voluntary โChat Control 1.0โ scanning scheme, German federal police (BKA) already warn that around 50% of all reports are criminally irrelevant, equating to tens of thousands of leaked chats per year.
3. DIGITAL HOUSE ARREST FOR TEENS & THE END OF ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATION In the shadow of the Chat Control debate, two other disastrous measures are being pushed through:
The End of Anonymous Communication: To reliably identify minors as required by the text, every citizen would have to present their ID or have their face scanned to open an email or messenger account. โThis is the de facto end of anonymous communication online โ a disaster for whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who rely on the protection of anonymity,โ warns Breyer.
โDigital House Arrestโ: Teens under 16 face a blanket ban from WhatsApp, Instagram, online games, and countless other apps with chat functions. โDigital isolation instead of education, protection by exclusion instead of empowerment โ this is paternalistic, out of touch with reality, and pedagogical nonsense.โ
URGENT APPEAL: GOVERNMENTS MUST NOW USE THEIR VETO! Several EU governmentsโincluding those of Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Czechia, Luxembourg, Finland, Austria, and Estoniaโhave previously voiced strong opposition to indiscriminate mass scanning. โNow, these governments must show some backbone!โ demands Breyer. โBlock this sham compromise in the Council and demand immediate corrections to save the fundamental rights of all citizens. The EU Parliament has already shown, across party lines, how child protection and digital freedom can be achieved together.โ
Breyer demands the following immediate corrections before any government should agree:
No mandatory chat control through the back door: Clarify that scans cannot be enforced as โrisk mitigation.โ
No AI chat police: Restrict scanning to known child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
No mass surveillance: Only allow targeted surveillance of suspects based on a court order.
Preserve the right to anonymity: The mandatory age verification requirement must be scrapped entirely.
โThey are selling us security but delivering a total surveillance machine,โ Breyer concludes. โThey promise child protection but punish our children and criminalize privacy. This is not a compromise โ this is a fraud against the citizen. And no democratic government should make itself an accomplice.โ
About Dr. Patrick Breyer: Dr. Patrick Breyer is a jurist, digital rights expert, and a former Member of the European Parliament (Pirate Party) until 2024. As a co-negotiator of the Parliamentโs position on the Chat Control regulation (CSAR), he is a leading European critic of indiscriminate mass surveillance.

Moving From Windows to FreeBSD as the Linux Chaos Alternative
Back in the innocent days of Windows 98 SE, I nearly switched to Linux on account of how satisfied I was with my Windows experience. This started with the Year of the Linux Desktop in 1999 that started with me purchasing a boxed copy of SuSE Linux and ended with me switching to Windows 2000. After this I continued tinkering with non-Windows OSes including QNX, BeOS, various BSDs, as well as Linux distributions that promised a โWindows-likeโ desktop experience, such as Lindows.
Now that Windows 2000โs proud legacy has seen itself reduced to a rusting wreck resting on cinderblocks on Microsoftโs dying front lawn, the quiet discomfort that many Windows users have felt since Windows 7 was forcefully End-Of-Life-d has only increased. With it comes the uncomfortable notion that Windows as a viable desktop OS may be nearing its demise. Yet where to from here?
Although the recommendations from the peanut gallery seem to coalesce around Linux or Appleโs MacOS (formerly OS X), there are a few dissenting voices extolling the virtues of FreeBSD over both. There are definitely compelling reasons to pick FreeBSD over Linux, in addition to it being effectively MacOSโs cousin. Best of all is not having to deal with the Chaos Vortex that spawns whenever you dare to utter the question of โwhich Linux distro?โ. Within the world of FreeBSD there is just FreeBSD, which makes for a remarkably coherent experience.
Ghosting The Subject
The GhostBSD logo. Although FreeBSD doesnโt have distributions the way that Linux does due to it being a singular codebase rather than a duct-taped patchwork, you do get a choice as far as difficulty settings go. You can always pick plain FreeBSD with its functional but barebones installer, which dumps you into a command line shell and expects you to jump through some hoops to set up things like a desktop environment. This is generally fine if youโre an advanced user, or just want to set up a headless server system.
In case youโre more into the โjust add waterโ level of a desktop OS installation process, the GhostBSD project provides the ready to go option for a zero fuss installation like you would see with Linux Mint, Manjaro Linux and kin. Although I have done the hard mode path previously with FreeBSD virtual machines, to save myself the time and bother I opted for the GhostBSD experience here.
For this experiment I have two older-but-quite-usable systems at my disposal: one is a 2013-era Ivy Bridge Intel-based gaming laptop thatโs a rebranded Clevo W370ET, the other a late-2015 Skylake PC with a Core i7 6700K, GTX 980 Ti and 32 GB of DDR4. To give both the best chance possible I also installed a brand new SATA SSD in both systems to run the OS from.
Down To Bare Metal
GhostBSD offers two images: the official Mate desktop version and the community XFCE version. Since I have always had a soft spot for XFCE, thatโs the version I went with. After fetching the image, I used Rufus to create a bootable USB stick and made sure that the target system was set to boot from USB media. First I wanted to focus on the laptop, but this is where I ran into the first issue when the installer froze on me.
After a few hours of trying various things, including trying a known good Manjaro Linux installer which flunked out with a complaint about the USB medium, I figured I might as well give a Windows 10 installer a shot for fun. This actually got me a useful error code: 0x8007025D. While it broadly indicates โsomethingโ being wrong along the USB-RAM-HDD/SSD path, it led me to a post about USB 3.0 being a potential issue as it changed some things compared to USB 2.0. The solution? Use a USB 2.0 port instead, obviously. Creating a new ZFS system partition for the GhostBSD installation. (Credit: Maya Posch) Long story short, this sort of worked: the GhostBSD installer still froze up once it entered the graphical section, but the Manjaro installer was happy as a clam, so now that laptop runs Manjaro, I guess.
A subsequent attempt to boot the GhostBSD installer on the 6700K system went much better, even while daringly using a USB 3.0 port on the case. Before I knew it GhostBSD was purring along with the XFCE desktop sparkling along at 1080p.
Iโm not sure what GhostBSDโs issue was with the laptop. Itโs possible that it found the NVidia Optimus configuration disagreeable, but now I have two rather capable gaming systems to directly compare Linux and FreeBSD with. There are no mistakes, just happy little accidents.
Gaming The System
Since any open source software of note that runs on Linux tends to have a native FreeBSD build, the experience here is rather same-ish. Where things can get interesting is with things related to the GPU, especially gaming. These days that of course means getting Steam and ideally the GoG Galaxy client running, which cracks open a pretty big can of proprietary worms. Playing the Windows GoG version of Firewatch on GhostBSD. (Credit: Maya Posch) Annoyingly, Valve has only released a Steam client for Windows, MacOS and Linux, with the latter even only officially supporting some versions of Ubuntu Linux. This is no real concern for Manjaro Linux, just with the disclaimer that if anything breaks, youโre SOL and better start praying that itโll magically start working again.
Unfortunately, for FreeBSD the userland Linux ABI compatibility isnโt quite enough as the Steam DRM means that it goes far beyond basic binary compatibility.
The two available options here are to either try oneโs chances with the linuxulator-steam-utils workarounds that tries to stuff the Linux client into a chroot, or to go Wine all the way with the Windows Steam client and add more Windows to your OSS.
Neither approach is ideal, but the main question is whether or not it allows you to play your games. After initially getting the Linux tools setup and ready to bootstrap Steam, I got thrown a curveball by the 32-bit Wine and dependencies not being available, leading to a corresponding issue thread on the GhostBSD forums. After Eric over at the GhostBSD project resolved the build issue for these dependencies, I thought that now I would be able to play some games, but I was initially sorely disappointed.
For some reason I was now getting a โpermission deniedโ error for the chdir command in the lsu-bootstrap script, so after some fruitless debugging I had to give up on this approach and went full Wine. I probably could have figured out what the problem here was, but considering the limitations of the LSU Steam approach and me just wanting to play games instead of debug-the-FOSS-project, it felt like time to move on.
Watery Wine
The Windows Steam client running on GhostBSD. (Credit: Maya Posch) As it turns out, the low-fuss method to get Steam and GoG Galaxy working is via the the Mizutamari Wine GUI frontend. Simply install it with pkg install mizuma or via the package center, open it from the Games folder in the start menu, then select the desired applicationโs name and then the Install button. Within minutes I had both Steam and the โclassicโ GoG Galaxy clients installed and running. The only glitch was that the current GoG Galaxy client didnโt want to work, but that might have been a temporary issue. Since I only ever use the GoG Galaxy 1.x client on Windows, this was fine for me.
After logging into both clients and escaping from Steamโs โBig Picture Modeโ, I was able to install a few games and play them, which went completely smoothly, except for the elevator scene in Firewatch where I couldnโt look around using the mouse despite it working fine in the menu, but that game is notoriously buggy, so thatโs a question mark on the exact cause. Between buggy games, Wine, and the OS, there definitely are sufficient parties to assign blame to.
Similarly, while the Steam client was a bit graphically glitchy with flickering on the Store page, and trying to access the Settings menu resulted in it restarting, I was able to install and play Windows games like Nightmare Kart, so thatโs a win in my book. That said, I canโt say that Iโm not jealous of just punching in sudo pacman -S steam on the Manjaro rig to get the Steam client up in a minute or so. Someone please convince Gabe to compile the Steam client for FreeBSD, and the CD Projekt folk to compile the Galaxy client for FreeBSD and Linux.
It should be noted here that although it is possible to use alternative frontends for GoG instead of its Galaxy client, you need it for things like cloud saves. Hence me choosing this path to get everything as close to on par with the Windows experience and feature set.
Next Steps
Aside from gaming, there are many possible qualifications for what might make a โWindows desktop replacementโ. As far as FreeBSD goes, the primary annoyance is having to constantly lean on the Linux or Windows versions of software. This is also true for things like DaVinci Resolve for video editing, where since thereโs no official FreeBSD version, you have to stuff the Linux version into a chroot once again to run it via the Linux compatibility layer.
Although following the requisite steps isnโt rocket science for advanced users, it would simply be nice if a native version existed and you could just install the package. Based on my own experiences porting a non-trivial application like the FFmpeg- and SDL-based NymphCast to FreeBSD โ among other OSes โ such porting isnโt complicated at all, assuming your code doesnโt insist on going around POSIX and doing pretty wild Linux-specific things.
Ranting on software development aside, for my next steps on my FreeBSD/GhostBSD journey Iโll likely be giving approaches like this running of Linux software on FreeBSD another shot, barring finding that native video editors work well enough for my purposes.
Feel free to sound off in the comments on how to improve my experiences so far, as well as warn me and others who are embarking on a similar BSD journey of certain pitfalls.

Looks like business world is finally waking up to what weโve know for a long time: many companies are astroturfing the job market with fake job openings. cnbc.com/2025/11/11/ghost-job-โฆ
in one of my side positions I was contacted by sales from a national MSP thinking we were a MUCH larger organization (by 100x). They're local so I took a look at their site and jobs listed - they're either abysmal to work for and can't hire/have huge churn, do a terrible job of hiring, or just leave all their jobs listed.
@fencepost my hypothesis is that with the advent of ATC, companies see little downside to keeping jobs posted since applicants arenโt tying up staff to process them, and there may be some benefit, from an investment perspective, from appearing to be growing. I have to believe that most companies are doing it and so itโs probably not really factored in much any more. But still no incentive to stop.
@AAKL I think itโs a good idea to try to stop, but I have no idea how a petition would have any hope of changing the behaviors of tens of thousands of independent companies.
My experience: one past Mgr posted jobs asking for criteria such as a certain degree that didn't exist or 5 years experience with some new tech. Then filling from within...that vacancy went unfilled regardless of crew workload and the Mgr rcvd a big bonus for being under budget.
The ghost jobs I've seen were spots held open for politicians to keep them above water until they got re-elected. Other places simply keep an open application process to generate a list of qualified applicants.
I gave up applying for โMillions of Cybersecurity Jobs!โ after wasting 3 years on bupkus. When I and others shared on LI that companies were posting but not hiring, we got shouted down by outraged recruiters and hiring managers, told we were expecting too much, we werenโt trying hard enough, we werenโt technical enough, we werenโt American enough, and we needed to get more certifications. Pffft. The reminder to pay up and get more CPD certs to renew my ISACA letters is sitting in my inbox and I am just going to let it slide. There are no jobs, there wonโt BE jobs, and I could spend the money I would have to spend on certs and memberships on bagpipes.

Altro che Marketing! Le VPN si vendono da sole ogni volta che un governo blocca i siti per adulti
Centinaia di milioni di utenti di smartphone hanno dovuto affrontare il blocco dei siti web pornografici e lโobbligo di verifica dellโetร . Nel Regno Unito รจ in vigore la verifica obbligatoria dellโidentitร sui siti web per adulti e leggi simili stanno per essere introdotte in alcuni stati degli Stati Uniti e in Italia.
In risposta a tutto questo, le VPN, servizi che consentono agli utenti di nascondere la propria posizione reale e aggirare le restrizioni, hanno registrato una crescita esponenziale.
Le vendite dei servizi VPN sono alle stelle
Come sottolinea la BBC, dallโentrata in vigore dellโOnline Safety Act nel Regno Unito, le registrazioni a Proton VPN sono aumentate di oltre il 1.400%, mentre NordVPN ha registrato un aumento del 1.000% negli abbonamenti. Secondo TechRadar nel Regno Unito sono stati scaricati 10,7 milioni di app VPN nella prima metร del 2025.
Ora, le autoritร britanniche stanno discutendo la possibilitร di vietare completamente le VPN. Iniziative simili sono emerse negli Stati Uniti: in particolare, nel Wisconsin รจ stata proposta una proposta di legge che renderebbe illegale lโaccesso a โcontenuti per adultiโ tramite VPN.
Progetti simili sono allo studio anche nel Michigan, dove i rappresentanti di Proton si sono espressi contro tali misure.
Gli esperti ritengono che tali restrizioni minaccino la libertร di Internet. Le VPN rimangono uno strumento essenziale nei paesi sottoposti a censura, consentendo alle persone di leggere notizie, utilizzare i social media e le app di messaggistica.
Dietro le VPN gratuite si nascondono gravi rischi
Nel frattempo, Google ha emesso un nuovo avviso, sottolineando che i truffatori stanno mascherando app dannose come VPN legittime. Lโazienda consiglia di scaricare tali servizi solo da fonti ufficiali e di prestare attenzione alle autorizzazioni: una VPN non dovrebbe richiedere lโaccesso a contatti o messaggi personali.
Secondo Google, le app dannose possono distribuire spyware e rubare password, dati bancari e wallet di criptovalute. Lโazienda ha anche osservato che scaricare VPN gratuite o discutibili aumenta il rischio di infezione del dispositivo e di perdita di dati.
Red Hot Cyber raccomanda di non scaricare mai app VPN da siti non ufficiali o da link trovati casualmente su internet, poichรฉ molti di questi pacchetti possono contenere codice malevolo (come infostealer, RAT, spayware e malware in generale). Prima di installare unโapp, รจ buona pratica verificare lo sviluppatore, leggere le recensioni reali, e controllare che le autorizzazioni richieste siano coerenti con le funzioni di una VPN. Unโapp che chiede accesso a fotocamera, microfono o contatti รจ un chiaro segnale di pericolo.
Gli esperti avvertono inoltre che, se i governi dovessero vietare lโuso delle VPN, molti utenti finirebbero per rivolgersi a versioni illegali o modificate, creando un vero e proprio โparadiso per gli hackerโ e rendendo di fatto impossibile mantenere buoni standard di sicurezza online.
