The Moldovan defence ministry said the video shared on Telegram shows participants in the exercises supposedly shooting at targets depicting Russian soldiers. The ministry emphasised that this video was created using artificial intelligence and supplemented with archive footage from other exercises.

"These videos have no connection to this year's exercises. The aircraft, parachute jumps, terrain of the training grounds and other video elements also do not reflect the reality of the Fire Shield 2025 exercises. The purpose of such videos is to sow fear, undermine trust in state institutions and destabilise society," a statement reads.

Donald Trump has ordered the national guard to Washington DC and seized control of the city’s police force, describing a “lawless” city in ways that are sharply at odds with official crime statistics.

The US president’s move was swiftly condemned as a “disgusting, dangerous and derogatory” assault on the political independence of a racially diverse city. The federal takeover is expected to be in effect for 30 days, the White House confirmed to the Guardian.

Speaking at a White House press conference on Monday, Trump said he was taking “a historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor and worse. This is liberation day in DC and we’re going to take our capital back.”

He described Washington DC as “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world”, claiming its murder rate is higher than Bogotá or Mexico City, even though violent crime is at a 30-year low.

The defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, who was among officials joining Trump on the podium, said 800 national guard troops would take to the streets of Washington over the coming week. “They will be strong, they will be tough and they will stand with their law enforcement partners,” he said.

I'm currently trying to install Docker on my old Raspberry Pi (3 Model B+) to host some personal projects. When I run docker run hello-world, I get:

Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/hello-world/manifests/sha256:ec153840d1e635ac434fab5e377081f17e0e15afab27beb3f726c3265039cfff": dial tcp [2600:1f18:2148:bc00:eff:d3ae:b836:fa07]:443: connect: network is unreachable

My Internet connection does not support IPv6 at all, which would explain why this error occurs. But how do I force docker-pull to only use IPv4?

I was wondering if industrial tourism is a real thing or just another one of my million weird obsessions. Ddg searched and it's a real thing. It's got a Wikipedia page and everything.

I would love to go to places and see how things are made. Modern Marvels is my favorite show (yes, I'm old) and also how it's made.

Anyone done something like this? How was your experience? How did you set it up?

Not sure where to post this so into memes it goes.

Several months after launching Matter 1.4.1, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) is back with version 1.4.2, introducing Wi-Fi-only commissioning and other upgrades.

The summer of layoffs is real.

Found this podcast today co-presented by Antoinette Lattouf.

Quite interesting to hear her thoughts and details about how the court case unfolded. Especially her comments on Ita Buttrose's disdain for having to be at the court.

In a highly unusual arrangement with President Trump, the companies are expected to kick 15 percent of what they make in China to the U.S. government.

I am trying to put together my own take on a low-distraction writer deck platform. The brain will be an SBC, either a Pi Zero or a "Le Potato" Pi 3 alternative, partly because neither has built in wifi, but more because I already have both of them. I'm not quite to a point where I want it truly minimal, but I would like the word processor to be "the" app that it can run.

Software wise, I'm looking at two early leaders. MS Word 5.5 running on DOSBox, or Wordgrinder. That version of Word is oddly nice, but I'd prefer to have something run without needing the overhead of DOSBOX or an x86 emulator. With a tweak to the terminal's color palette, Wordgrinder could probably be good enough, and I thoroughly appreciate that it does in-line text styling, but it's still a bit more limited than I'd like. I am wondering though, if there isn't a solution that would run native on Linux in an ncurses terminal like Wordgrinder but have some of the QoL improvements something like that mature DOS version of Word would have (mouse support, spellcheck, easy color scheme changes, more comprehensive shortcuts).

I would love something like a rich-text editor that is simply markdown behind the scenes, possibly with a spellcheck engine. I don't need full WYSIWYG, but I do want that basic visual of formatted text without having to mentally parse the markdown code, so I'm not looking for a two-phase solution with VIM and LaTeX, a two-pane markdown editor with live preview, or a note-taking app. If I have to install a DE, I guess Focuswriter or AbiWord could work, but I'd like to avoid that if possible, especially if I go with the Zero.
