Harvard experts warn Diaspora Jews are suffering from ‘traumatic invalidation’ after Oct. 7

"They call it traumatic invalidation, a condition first studied a decade ago for victims of other traumas such as sexual assault who are told it's their fault or they should get over it. For Jews, the same label should apply, the authors found, because it involves what they describe as a stunning mix of silence, denial, blame, gaslighting, whataboutism, and exclusion, such as documenting many cases of Jews being told their grief does not matter because of what's happening in Gaza"

Ik zat vanochtend net een halve poging te doen om dochterlief naar Linux te helpen. Haar leptop is stuk dus dit is een mooi moment voor verandering.

Maar eigenlijk weet ik niks van Linux. Net zo min als de dochter heb ik veel zin in systeembeheren.

Ik zou wel tips willen welke tweedehands laptop geschikt zou zijn voor een verse Linux-installatie waar een eh, normaal mens ook mee kan werken.

#linux

Dochterlief schreef: "Geen gekke suggestie, maar ik heb altijd het idee gehad dat een linux os het leven van de gebruiker zo’n 15% lastiger maakt en ik heb niet per se aanleg voor troubleshooten. Heb jij dr ervaring mee?" Ik: "Wat moet je er minimaal mee kunnen doen?" Dochter: "Mijn minimale eisen heb ik niet in specs gekwantificeerd voor me maar opzich als zo’n ding 100 tabbladen firefox, een statistiekprogramma en zes worddocumenten tegelijk aankan zit ik goed. Op mn oude kon ik ook spelletjes spelen maar daar heb ik in geen jaren gebruik van gemaakt"

Ik draai al jaren Ubuntu op mijn desktop, en mijn ervaring is dat de hoeveelheid systeembeheren ongeveer net zo veel is als bij Windows. Met als voordeel bij Ubuntu dat iemand het al voor je heeft uitgezocht en je een paar commando's in de commandline plakt die het in orde maken.

Grootste issue zal de software zijn -- als je Windows-only programma's gebruikt dan is het wel echt pielen geblazen. Maar Firefox (en dus ook alles wat via een browser kan) gaat prima.

The only one that I have ever known

Changes in September temperatures in the #Arctic by decade. The largest warming is co-located with areas of melting sea ice, such as the along the Eurasian coast.

Data from doi.org/10.24381/cds.f17050d7

Four polar stereographic maps showing Arctic near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of September in 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014, and 2015-2024. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest at the edges of the Arctic Ocean on the Atlantic and Pacific facing marginal seas.

ERA5 monthly averaged data on single levels from 1940 to present

ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF reanalysis for the global climate and weather for the past 8 decades. Data is available from 1940 onwards. ERA5 replaces the ERA-Interim reanalysis.

The other day me and @gregkh shot down a draft proposal to add a new role in the CVE ecosystem (SADP: "supplier ADP") that would append data to CVEs with details about dependencies and how they are or are not vulnerable to each particular CVE.

Imagine the amount of dependencies that use curl or the Linux kernel etc. These sweet innocent proposal makers thought in the terms of 5-10 dependencies per CVE. Not tens or hundreds of thousands which is far from unthinkable.

For number lovers: during the past 31 days, the #IzzyOnDroid repo saw almost 800,000 APK downloads – which roughly corresponds to 18 APKs/minute, or 1 APK every 3 seconds. And that's only from our main server, not counting the mirrors (coming soon™).

I’ve gotta be real with you, @Tutanota: I love your work and your company, but you need to add Web Key Directory compatibility.

At this point, PGP/WKD support for a privacy-focused email provider has to be as fundamental as supporting TLS. Proton does not own PGP.

I simply cannot in good conscience recommend Tuta over Proton to people generally speaking, knowing that Proton users benefit from E2EE when they email me on my self-hosted email servers, as well as when they email plenty of other providers (Posteo, Mailbox.org). And that is a shame, because trust me I would love to be able to point anywhere other than Proton when I’m asked this.

Keep your superior encryption for intra-Tuta emails, absolutely. Give it a different UI indicator so people know the difference, I don’t care. At the end of the day, not at least silently supporting in the background the only decentralized email encryption method we have is antithetical to what email is all about: interoperability.

People have been asking you about PGP for 8+ years, I know Autocrypt used to be on your roadmap and now it seemingly no longer is.

There is a clear winner now, and it’s WKD.

Contact with Europeans in the 19th century first provided the Yapese at Palau with iron tools, that made the cutting and shaping of the stones much easier. Not much later, the Yapese made deals with Europeans to use their ships to transport the stones back to Yap. These arrangements enabled the manufacture of much larger and heavier rai stones, up to 4 meters in diameter, as well of a larger number of them. However, these "modern" stones were less valuable than more ancient ones.


Even stone money suffers from inflation.

So, if I write you a document before a meeting, you use AI to summarize that document, and then during that meeting you rely incorrect or partial information, not only you wasted everybody's time, but you also made it clear that you don't think I'm capable of relying information synthetically, moreover you're clearly stating that you're not intelligent enough to read a simple document.

Using AI makes you "look" fast and productive, but in reality it paints you as cheap and lazy

Also, with the most recent "optimized" models is estimated that to generate a small image (how small, who knows), it consumes an average of 0.25 kWh.

So if only one person generates 6 images it's the equivalent of keeping your electric heater running full power for 1hr.

Your silly memes built on stolen art are helping boiling the ocean.

But hey...now you can see what a gorilla wearing an iron man suite looks like, because your imagination is stunted.

Congrats, I guess

Questioning whether or not I've overreacted as the post *is* in the Introductions subforum, I read every single introductory post on the Ubuntu Discourse made in 2025. Every one was focused on the person's technical and professional backgrounds and what skills they want to learn or tech topics they're interested in.

One guy mentioned off-hand about being busy moving around the country with his wife and kids. Another guy is 75 and mentioned in a reply to someone inquiring about his early career that women did the punch cards and men did the programming when he started. Those were the only two other semi-questionable comments if you want to really be pedantic.

Not a single mention of personal life details like this in any other post.

Read the room.

(also revealing your name and birth date like that is a bit of an opsec issue this guy should be coached on... honestly where is the mod at on this, they should really be censoring that in his post)

hey, do you folks have recommendations for an USB fingerprint reader that works reliably with Fedora (or ideas how I could get mine to work)?

Mine (a "Benss" branded Elan 04f3:0c3d) is supposed to work, but I can't get it to verify prints - Apparently fprintd really doesn't handle "tap to scan" readers well, like the one I've got.

I've tried tapping, swiping, in every direction, I'm running out of ideas
