China's Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) will build its electric AION V model at a Magna facility in Austria

Edit: Also covered by the Guardian here

After recently announcing they'd like to take the gold and jewellery of incoming immigrants, Nazi style, last week, the UK government has now revealed it's latest plan to make immigrant lives worse, possibly fatally.

The government now plans to restrict access to benefits (unemployment or health-based financial help) immigrants without Settled Status.

Settled Status, previously available for anyone who has been in the country for more than 5 years, will now also be raised to up to 20 years for legal entry and 30 years for illegal entry.

This double-whammy of changes will likely result in huge amounts of unnecessary suffering, homelessness and possibly death.

If that wasn't enough, homelessness is a lot more expensive than paying out benefits, so this is likely to further add to the financial burden of the country.

Who is to say whether the government will stop there? How long until they start revoking settled statuses and kicking out people who have lived here for decades (like myself)?

On top of this, all of these actions embolden the far-right. People are regularly having to stop them from trying to harass refugees currently being kept in hotels.

These countries are the embodiment of toxic masculinity

(Example is based on US politics, but could apply to any equally corrupt government) In this day and age, it's clear that rampant corruption is abound with mega corporations buying up politicians with relative pennies they found under their couches.

When words and calls to action fail. Why are there no crowdfunded grassroots movements that actively try to play the same bribery game. If anything, to finally shine a light on how broken the system is.

If the dollar has a voice, why not let the people's dollars speak?

Of course, this is clearly a terrible idea long term for any system to work like this, plus a bit of a race to the bottom.

The question is more along the line of: Has anyone actually tried this? If so, why/why not?

Be civil please.

Genuine question, so please don't be mean to whoever responds. Better to learn than to judge.

Curious if people who are on Cloudflare are considering any selfhosted alternatives? If not, interested to hear what is a deal breaker in regards to using a service besides Cloudflare. I do hear a lot of praise for Cloudflare when facing DDOS, and always happy to learn more!

The bill, initially approved by Parliament in February 2024 with bipartisan backing, proposed a three-year jail term for persons who identify as gay and five to 10 years for those who promote or advocate LGBTO+ activities.

The EU must seize Russia’s frozen assets, Maria Malmer Stenergard believes, because any other solution would be unfair to Ukraine’s biggest backers.

Nordic countries can't keep taking on a disproportionate share of supporting Ukraine, Sweden's foreign minister warned in an interview with POLITICO.

"A few countries take almost all of the burden," Maria Malmer Stenergard said on her way into a gathering of foreign ministers in Brussels. "That is not fair and it's not sustainable in the long run."

She added: "The fact that the Nordic countries, with less than 30 million people, we provide for one-third of the military support that the NATO countries, with almost 1 billion people, provide this year ... This is not sustainable. It's not reasonable in any way. And it says a lot about what the Nordics do — but it says even more about what the others don't do."

I always want to wear a baseball cap while wearing a helmet so I can have it when I arrive at place so I can offset my helmet hair. But my helmet is really uncomfortable with a bb cap in the way. I don't want to carry a bag with the hat in it and I outworn my beanies. Would it look stupid to place the cap on the handlebars or clip the cap into the strap of the helmet to carry it while riding? Does anybody have a good solution to wearing baseball caps with a helmet?

• US plan would require Kyiv to give up land, accept curbs to military, sources say
• French minister: peace cannot mean capitulation
• US army delegation is visiting Kyiv

European countries pushed back on Thursday against a U.S.-backed peace plan for Ukraine that sources said would require Kyiv to give up more land and partially disarm, conditions long seen by Ukraine's allies as tantamount to capitulation.

...

European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels were careful not to comment in too much detail about a U.S. peace plan that has not been made public. But they made clear they would not accept demands for punishing concessions from Kyiv.

...

Moscow played down any new U.S. initiative.

A U.S. Army delegation ... was in Kyiv [and] met Ukraine's top military commander Oleksandr Syrskyi late on Wednesday. Syrskyi said he told them the best way to secure a just peace was to defend Ukraine's airspace, extend its ability to strike deep into Russia and stabilise the front line.

Has anyone gotten navidrome mobile apps to work with traefik and authentik sso? I used this article to get the webapp sso to work, but mobile apps won't work even with the /rest path supposedly being bypassed. the traefik config was copied/modified for my setup, so I think the article is still missing something.

I've tried a couple navidrome apps: dsub, tempo, tempus.

Amidst the glossy marketing for VPN services, it can be tempting to believe that the moment you flick on the VPN connection you can browse the internet with full privacy. Unfortunately this is quite far from the truth, as interacting with internet services like websites leaves a significant fingerprint. In a study by [RTINGS.com] this browser fingerprinting was investigated in detail, showing just how easy it is to uniquely identify a visitor across the 83 laptops used in the study.

As summarized in the related video (also embedded below), the start of the study involved the Am I Unique? website which provides you with an overview of your browser fingerprint. With over 4.5 million fingerprints in their database as of writing, even using Edge on Windows 10 marks you as unique, which is telling.

Israeli air strikes pummelled the besieged Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing at least 33 Palestinians, including 20 women and children, less than 48 hours after the UN Security Council adopted US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for the enclave.

Israeli fighter jets bombed tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, as well as homes in Gaza City, with more than 70 people reported wounded.

Shelling and air strikes were also reported on Thursday morning, with most of the casualties reported in Khan Younis, local media reported.

The Palestinian group Hamas condemned the latest "massacre" and described it as "a dangerous escalation through which [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu seeks to resume the genocide."

Defence secretary reveals details of recent incursions as he warns UK is facing ‘new era of threat’ from hostile countries

A Russian spy ship has entered British waters and shone lasers at military pilots, the defence secretary has said, as he warned the UK was facing a “new era of threat” from hostile countries.

John Healey told reporters on Wednesday the “deeply dangerous” move was being taken “extremely seriously” by the government, adding the UK would continue monitoring the ship and had “military options ready” should the vessel change course.

He said the surveillance ship had crossed in and out of the UK’s exclusive economic zone multiple times in recent weeks, not for the first time this year.
