יש כאן דוברי עברית? בעיקרון r/Israel_bm וסרוגים הן שתי הקהילות הכי גדולות אז הייתי מניחה שגם פה יהיו

(Or maybe Israeli/Palestinian Arabic?)

Basically, the company had to pay for its own buyout when private equity firms KKL, Vornado, and Bain bought the company for $6.6 billion, mostly with loans.

Because the company then had to pay off those extreme loans, they were forced to sell off their assets and property, which they leased back from the very private equity firms that now owned them.

The same thing happened more recently with Red Lobster and JoAnn Fabrics.

I currenly reside in a country with strict piracy rules but also have access to the internet in a country where piracy is not enforced. I want to setup a VPN and route qBittorrent's traffic through it. The idea is to do something like this:

I am fresh to selfhosting and most of the time have no clue how to achieve what I want. So far I have tried Tailscale but I think it won't work how I want it to. If it helps, I have domain name registered. Can anybody point me to the right direction?

Update (if anyone is seeking answers):

I went with tailscale which I have already set up before on the rpi3. Somehow, no matter what I try, wireguard or pivpn would not work. Maybe I have hands growing out of my ass or something, no idea.

What did work is Dante. I setup socks5 on pi through tailscale0 and it worked wonders. Qbittorent did connect and detected IP of rpi3. The best part is that opposed to wireguard, dedicated port does not have to be open in order for Dante to work. I see it as a win win! Now I'm hyped to go back to my homeland and install pi there.

Spain became one of the first European countries to approve a full arms embargo on Israel as Mr Sanchez again grasped a rare leadership role for Madrid in world affairs.

But he is also using Israel’s war in Gaza to save his political skin in a country that is, with Ireland, the most pro-Palestinian in Europe.

Experts predict that he will try to [...] draw a line under the corruption scandal engulfing his Socialist party (PSOE).

Months of accusations of cronyism and fraud have threatened his fragile coalition government and have touched some of the 53-year-old’s closest allies – not to mention his wife and brother.

This week, a court ruled that his brother, David, will stand trial after taking a well-paid government job that was allegedly created for him by party officials.

Separately, a judge indicated that Begona Gomez, the prime minister’s wife, would face a court hearing over accusations she embezzled state funds to pay for a personal assistant. [Begona Gomez refused to show Saturday at a hearing meant to formally notify her she should face trial, according to reports citing a legal source at the appointment.]

Spain is starkly polarised, and locked in a culture war between the Right and Left. At the last election in 2023, fragmented Left-wing parties obtained a combined vote share of 47.9 per cent. Right-wing parties achieved 47.2 per cent, with the centre-Right Partido Popular (PP) winning the most votes but falling short of a majority.

[...]

In addition, Spain cane under fire for contracting Huawei to store judicial wiretaps by its EU partners. The Spanish Ministry of the Interior has awarded €12.3 million ($14.3 million) contracts to manage and store judicially authorized wiretaps used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, raising concerns about potential Chinese government access due to the company’s ties to Beijing.

The future of this elegant and proven system was put in jeopardy last month, when Google unilaterally decreed that Android developers everywhere in the world are going to be required to register centrally with Google. In addition to demanding payment of a registration fee and agreement to their (non-negotiable and ever-changing) terms and conditions, Google will also require the uploading of personally identifying documents[^regid], including government ID, by the authors of the software, as well as enumerating all the unique “application identifiers” for every app that is to be distributed by the registered developer.

If it were to be put into effect, the developer registration decree will end the F-Droid project and other free/open-source app distribution sources as we know them today, and the world will be deprived of the safety and security of the catalog of thousands of apps that can be trusted and verified by any and all. F-Droid’s myriad users5 will be left adrift, with no means to install — or even update their existing installed — applications.

Chimps on a Blimp

Okay, so as the title says, I'm looking for a very cheap android phone that can support LineageOS. I know this is a stretch, but my current phone isn't compatible. I'd also prefer a flip phone, but I'll take what I can get. I'm trying to not break the bank with a phone as I'm trying to save for a car (I'm about 1/6th of the way there for a beater). Any help at all is appreciated!

Also, can anyone recommend a desktop YouTube client since they decided JS was necessary to combat whatever the fuck?

Hello World,

as some of you might be aware, there have been various accusations against one of our former community team members, Jordan Lund.

We have removed Jordan as a member of our community team a week ago, on 23rd of September, due to various behavior that we do not consider acceptable for a member of our team. We haven't posted about this earlier, as we're still in the progress of reviewing and making decisions, and we originally expected to be able to conclude this earlier, within a time frame where we could have presented the final outcome in the first post.

During his time with Lemmy.World, Jordan has been helping out our team with various admin-level tasks, as well as moderating a few large communities, including !news@lemmy.world, !world@lemmy.world and !politics@lemmy.world. As far as we can tell, most of his actions, including moderation actions, were in alignment with both our instance rules and also rules and spirit of the affected communities.

Unfortunately, this does not apply to all his actions. We have identified multiple cases of conduct that do not align with what we expect from members of our team. We currently do not have any explicit rules or code of conduct for our community team or other team members like instance admins on top of our ToS/bylaws, as we expected to have a common understanding of acceptable behavior. In the past we already had discussions with Jordan about some of this behavior and we believed that to be enough at that time. Going forward, we will be working on a code of conduct applicable to all members of our team, including community team and anyone above.

Being a member of our community team provides additional privileges for selected members, such as the ability to appoint community moderators, update our community spotlight or even banning users. In Jordan's case this included permissions to appoint community moderators and ban users from the instance.

As of today, we are not aware of misuse of these additional privileges. Once we have reviewed other actions taken by Jordan we will also review these types of actions taken by Jordan in the recent past. If you believe that you or someone else was incorrectly banned from Lemmy.World, you're welcome to appeal your ban by reaching out to our team. As we currently have some technical issues with our ticket system, I recommend sending an email to report at lemmy dot world for the time being, visting our Matrix room #general:lemmy.world or reaching out to @MrKaplan@lemmy.world directly, also possible via Matrix at @mrkaplan:lemmy.world.

Following our instance rules, we have a few cases in which we may remove community moderators from their communities:

1. Grossly committing a violation of the Terms of Service
2. Acting repeatedly against the local community rules
3. Extended periods of inactivity, as evident by lack of public interaction and/or failure to respond to reports

We are still discussing whether we consider his behavior a "gross violation of our ToS", as there are definitely some arguments to be made in favor of that. This includes for example using incorrect gendered pronouns, which we will update in our ToS in the coming days to make it more clear to everyone that this will not be tolerated. Due to his previous and current position we are still discussing what our final resolution to this issue will be as far as instance rules are concerned. Whether or not a person is trolling does not justify using incorrect pronouns for them. We have also informed Jordan that we expect his behavior in this regard to change immediately.

We're currently also in conversations with other moderators of communities moderated by Jordan to review their position on his behavior within their communities and whether they believe that his actions in those communities were appropriate and in line with the community rules. As a reminder, the order of community moderators in the sidebar has direct impact on the moderator hierarchy, where a moderator listed earlier is able to remove any moderators later in the list. This means even if an action might not (yet) be taken by instance admins, other community moderators may be able to remove moderators if they're no longer desired to be part of the team. Especially community rules about civility and respectful conduct do not appear to have been followed in a number of cases, and we are reviewing with the community moderators whether this is in line with other content they would usually moderate/not moderate.

It should also be noted that not all things reported to us are actually or clearly violating our rules, even if we may not agree with them. For example, we currently do not have rules about moderators removing other people's arguments, especially as "misinformation", to strengthen their own misguided arguments, and then continue to accuse the other side of misinformation later on. We do expect our team members to not use positions of power to "win arguments" or falsely accuse others of misinformation, when this isn't actually the case. Therefore, while this example is not something we tolerate for members of our team, having this happen on community level (by a person who isn't also holding a role above community mod at that time) is currently not something we are enforcing.

Once we have worked out a CoC for members of our team, we will post about this separately and also gather community feedback on whether you believe that enforcement of that (or parts of it, or more things) should also include moderators of Lemmy.World communities.

Additionally, we will also be looking at expanding our community team a bit in the near future, as we have both lost some people over time and recently also Jordan. We will also be posting about this separately, currently expected to be in a few weeks, with a description of expectations and responsibilities.

We will also be updating this post over the coming days until we have finished our review and actions.

Update 2025-10-06 01:27 UTC:

After reviewing various comments and actions by Jordan, he has received a warning, especially relating to following our rules at https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#1-attacks-on-people-or-groups. Going forward, if we see additional violations of our rules, especially when it comes to attacking others, we will consider additional consequences in the form of a temporary or permanent ban. If you still see Jordan's behaving in ways violating our ToS, please report this directly to us, e.g. through a pm to @lwreport@lemmy.world. We always review messages received by this account in our team.

In line with our current rules about potentially removing community moderators, we have reviewed the communities Jordan is currently a moderator in:

1. !politics@lemmy.world: This community has active moderators above Jordan Lund, such as @aidan@lemmy.world.
2. !news@lemmy.world This community has active moderators above Jordan Lund, such as @JonsJava@lemmy.world.
3. !world@lemmy.world: We have moved Jordan from being top moderator to being bottom moderator. New top moderator is @Tenthrow@lemmy.world.
4. !business@lemmy.world: No other active mods
5. !comicbooks@lemmy.world: No other active mods
6. !portland_oregon@lemmy.world: No other active mods
7. !thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world: We have moved Jordan from being top moderator to being bottom moderator. New (active) top moderator is @JonsJava@lemmy.world.
8. !hottubs@lemmy.world: No other active mods
9. !keeptrack@lemmy.world: No other active mods

Any community moderator above Jordan will be able to remove him from his moderator position, should they decide that he is not a good fit for the community. It is up to those community moderators whether they want to keep him on the team.

We generally intend to limit our involvement in community moderation to enforcement of instance rules. Without disallowing other community mods to add Jordan back as a moderator, there would also not be much impact of removing him entirely, as they could just add him back right away. If you do not agree with the rules in a community or the way it is moderated, it's always possible to look for alternative communities with different rules, different mods, or creating your own community.

Having said this, we're still working on our team CoC, and will be gathering community feedback in a standalone post to determine whether we should enforce additional standards for community moderators.

Our review of Jordan's delegated admin actions (instance bans) are still pending. Unless we find evidence of this having been abused, we we do not currently expect additional consequences to arise from this.

Hii! So a few days ago I began a nearly fully carnivore diet. Eating Angus and 85% lean grass fed patties and I have been experiencing these crazy symptoms.

Question with no context: Do you experience what feels like our ancestral psychology of Kill, Conquer or Reproduce endlessly. From eating a carnivorous diet?

It began with this incredible energy and irritation to certain things. That was almost all consuming. Though I had to control of course.

Then this absolute arousal mixed with the want to eat more meat but also nonstop reproduce.

Beyond that I had amazing pain management. Where I got a cut that almost circled my whole arm. Barely any pain. When before that’d sting like a BITCH.

I also today held a 375 F pan and only got one blister and the rest of my hand healed in 30 minutes to an hour and I held it for probably 30 seconds or longer. I’d assume you’d have worse burns. Though most of my hand has no burns, the elasticity of my thumb came back in that 30-1 h. Only thing left is the blister that’s tiny.

Lastly I managed to automatically breathe or just absorb air for 15 minutes rapidly moving. Probably 10-15 reps per 20 seconds until I went 30-40 reps per 20 seconds. I pushed myself to max near the end and that’s when my breathing dramatically increased needing me to actually breathe.

Does anyone else experience this with eating constant meat? It almost feels like Kill, Conquer or Reproduce. If that makes sense.

A classified US military intelligence report seen by the ABC says China is rapidly building up the country's commercial ferry fleet to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan.

The report dates from earlier this year and was prepared by members of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for the Pentagon.

The US intelligence says the large ocean-going vessels have been modified to carry tanks and partake in amphibious operations.

Putin and Trump are both agents of the Clintons. Bill Clinton oversaw the looting of post Soviet Russia and made sure his compradors took and held power there. Since then, Russia has served as a stick the US uses to cow Europe and keep them subservient and loyal to the empire.

Trump is a longtime friend and ally of the Clintons, whom they enlisted in 2008 to spread racist conspiracy theories about Obama, and again in 2016 both to give Hillary a weak enough opponent in the general and to ensure that no matter who won, the Clintons either got back in personally or got their loyal friend and ally in instead.

All the public bickering and supposed geopolitical conflicts between them are just kayfabe that just happens to get lots of innocent people killed in the crossfire."

This bit engineered in a lab to drive both chuds and libs into a spluttering, indignant frenzy as their wriggly cognitive dissonance worms get drenched in mind salt and trigger all of their psychic defense mechanisms at once.

I think 1 is more than enough despite the size of the polycule and keeps the counter looking tidy. What do you think?

Update: getting an electric tooth brush with our first fruits and getting a separate brush attachment for each of us that we can make a piece of pottery to hold super easy! Thanks for the input those that were helpful!
