A new report from ENISA (European Union Agency for Cybersecurity) warns that public administrations across the EU are facing a surge in cyberattacks, with hacktivists increasingly relying on distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) campaigns. Central governments were the most targeted, accounting for 69% of incidents. The majority of incidents targeted the websites of parliaments, ministries, and national authorities/agencies, largely skewed by DDoS attacks.

As these institutions handle vast amounts of sensitive data and provide essential public services amid growing digitization, even a single incident can cause major disruption and erode public trust. The 42-page report identifies DDoS attacks, data breaches, ransomware, and social engineering as the most prevalent threats. ENISA’s latest sectoral analysis offers a comprehensive view of these risks, aiming to inform better risk assessments, strengthen mitigation strategies, and guide policymaking across the public sector.

...

ENISA expects several trends to shape the cyber threat landscape for the EU’s public administration sector in 2025. DDoS campaigns are likely to continue, particularly around major events such as elections and international summits, though they may not cause significant operational disruptions. State-linked activity is also expected to persist, with Russia- and China-aligned intrusion groups maintaining cyber espionage campaigns aimed at collecting strategic data from EU institutions.

The use of artificial intelligence in social engineering is projected to grow, with generative language models, voice-cloning, and face-swap tools increasingly leveraged for phishing, vishing, and misinformation campaigns. These operations may move beyond simple extortion to focus on manipulating public opinion and eroding trust. Opportunistic ransomware attacks are also anticipated to continue, causing occasional but notable service disruptions across the public sector.

...

The report also identified state-nexus intrusion sets publicly documented as associated with Russia and China that were active in cyberespionage campaigns against the public administration in the EU, notably targeting governmental entities.

China-linked hacker group UNC6384 (also known as Mustang Panda) attacks European diplomatic agencies in Hungary, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and Serbia between September and October 2025.

Basically title. I want an app that can integrate with a server to run whisper and small local llms to place phone calls and such. Already have ollama and such, so that side is done. I just need the integration.

Edit for clarity: I mean a local siri type thing.

The United States has struck two more alleged Latin American drug-running boats, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Monday, adding that all six people on board were killed. Critics say the US strikes in the Pacific and Caribbean – which have now claimed the lives of 76 people – amount to extrajudicial killings

Note: a bit weird title; better is" LatAm boats".

Edit: apperantly someone liked my suggestion, as the title was just changed.

After the pathetic move by the Democrats just days after an incredibly positive election for them, I am wondering what people think about the next shift in consciousness among the working class in the US.

Just anecdotally, I have found that most people are not afraid to talk about politics in places where its usually prohibited (mostly work, school, etc). The anger among the more liberal people I've seen is palpable.

As the American economy is showing trends of generational decay, the US government is also taking actions that will immediately impact tens of millions of people. The economy is in turmoil while ICE kidnaps people off the streets. Universal healthcare, food assistance, etc, seem like sound policies to many people simply because it would stabilize the economy more at this point.

The Dems are still the vehicle through which the majority of people think that the "resistance" will come from, but after this latest government reopening vote I'm seeing some very existential reactions.

I'm curious what people think will happen next in terms of the consciousness of the masses. I dont think the masses are anywhere close to accepting a vanguard party, but I do think that a massive shift away from the two current parties in power is possible within the next few years. I could see a shift toward democratic socialism as a party emerges with all the new contradictions that will arise with that.

What do y'all think?

The soldiers who agreed to talk confirmed the IDF’s routine use of human shields, contradicting official denials, and gave details of Israeli troops opening fire unprovoked on civilians racing to reach food handouts at the militarised distribution points set up by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

“In basic training for the army, we all chanted ‘means, intent and ability’,” Capt Yotam Vilk, an armoured corps officer, says in reference to the official IDF training guidelines stipulating that a soldier can fire only if the target has the means, shows intent and has the ability to cause harm.

“There’s no such thing as ‘means, intent and ability’ in Gaza,” Vilk says. “No soldier ever mentions ‘means, intent, and ability’. It’s just: a suspicion of walking where it’s not allowed. A man aged between 20 and 40.”

European carmakers are rapidly losing market share globally as Chinese rivals enter a new phase of expansion and innovation, said the head of the world’s biggest operator of car-carrying ships.

“The reason why Chinese are winning market shares is because they innovate themselves,” he told analysts on a recent earnings call. “The Chinese producers have gone from being cost leaders to now being technology leaders.”

Wallenius Wilhelmsen has historically benefited from western carmakers shipping their products to China. But the Norwegian group, which sells space on its ships to carmakers, is now trying to capture more revenue by helping newer Chinese brands to expand overseas.

They called the police. They showed their wounds. They begged for protection.

But when two women in China tried to escape their violent husbands, the system that promised to protect them looked the other way, until it was too late. One woman died from being beaten. The other woman was left severely injured.

Their stories rippled across the Chinese internet, setting off a wave of anger over how authorities treat domestic violence as a private family matter, even as state media has called for "zero tolerance” of abuses.

China’s leader, Xi Jinping, said the country needed to "resolutely combat all forms of violence against women” when he spoke at a global summit for women in Beijing last month. But he has also fostered a culture that emphasizes women’s traditional role at home, creating a reluctance among the police and courts to break families apart even when there is violence.

Activists say that the resulting inconsistent enforcement of laws has led to most cases going unpunished. A crackdown on nonprofit groups has made things worse by shutting down volunteers who once helped to provide aid and support to victims of domestic abuse.

[...]

China has a wide-ranging anti-domestic violence law that was signed into law in 2016 and covers both physical and emotional abuse, and includes legal tools that authorities can use, like protection orders and mechanisms for reported cases to be expedited.

"The law on paper is quite advanced,” said Xin He, a law professor at the University of Hong Kong. But when it comes to enforcement of the law, the authorities are failing many victims, and there are not enough social workers to support victims,” He said.

"The system has a lot of inadequacies, which is why you see a lot of women that feel so helpless.”

[...]

"When the police intervene, then they will emphasize staying in the marriage. The police often see their role as a mediator,” said Minglu Chen, a senior lecturer at the University of Sydney who studies gender and politics in China. "There are also cultural forces in China, because the family is seen as a source of stability and any wrongdoing that happens within the family, you have to keep it in the family.”

[...]

A woman named Ms. Xie, who chose not to disclose her first name, told state broadcaster CCTV she was attacked by her husband more than a dozen times over her three-year marriage and that she had repeatedly asked the police to detain him.

In April 2023, she went to a court in Chengdu to seek a restraining order but was turned away. The court argued that the case was outside its jurisdiction because her husband was not originally from Chengdu.

[...]

When her husband found out that Ms. Xie had applied for a restraining order, he beat her for hours. She was sent to a hospital the next day, where doctors found that her liver, kidney and small intestine had ruptured. Her injuries, which included a broken nose and ribs, left her in critical condition for a week.

Deflation signals a lopsided economy where supply dwarfs demand. That hurts companies, which in turn hurts workers. As consumption weakens, businesses spend less, economic activity slows, debt burdens rise, which then causes more deflation. The downward loop, known in economics as a deflationary spiral, feeds on itself once entrenched.

The trend also carries global implications: cheap Chinese exports can depress prices abroad, strain relations with trading partners, and create knock-on effects for multinational companies. Global institutions are sounding the alarm, with the International Monetary Fund projecting that consumer inflation in China will average zero this year — the second-lowest of nearly 200 economies it tracks. The Bank of Korea warned in July that China could export deflation to its trading partners.

[...]

And the problem could be even worse than they realize. China’s official CPI figure — which offers limited item-level detail and is shaped by a complex methodology that isn’t transparent — has hovered around zero since early 2023, occasionally posting modest gains. Bloomberg News analyzed prices for dozens of products in 36 major cities as well as both official and private data across China to get a sense of how much cheaper things have become on the ground. We looked at items in categories like food, groceries, consumer goods and services, as well as housing costs and price changes for specific car brands.

[...]

Across the market, company results show the same pressures: the share of “zombie” firms — those whose profits can’t cover interest payments on their debt — rose from 19% to 34% over the past five years; capital and R&D spending fell for most companies, a first in a decade; and more than a third of companies across industries cut jobs in 2024.

[...]

Last year, salaries at private companies — which employ over 80% of China’s urban workforce — grew at the slowest pace on record. In industries like manufacturing and IT, wages fell for the first time in official statistics for private firms. A private survey on salaries, before being discontinued last year, showed average pay offers in 38 cities dropped 5% between 2022 and 2024. Even in China’s prized “new economy” sectors like AI and new energy, entry-level salaries are down 7% from their 2022 peak.

Meanwhile, households have boosted their savings to the equivalent of around 110% of China’s gross domestic product last year, the highest ever, indicating consumers are expecting lower prices in the future and heightened economic uncertainty.

[...]

There is no suggestion that the situation in China will be reversed. Despite slight seasonal upticks on holiday spending, persistent weakness across both the industrial and consumer sectors indicates China’s prices are on track for a third consecutive year of deflation in 2025. And that matters: the longer prices sag, the greater the risk that growth in the world’s second-largest economy could slow for years — even decades.

Prolonged deflation would also be virtually unprecedented for a major economy since World War II, with the lone exception of Japan, which just this year escaped its own painful battle of over a decade of weak prices and deflation. It’ll also become harder for China to climb into high-income status sustainably, or to surpass the US in economic size. Years of rising incomes and property gains had fueled dreams of upward mobility, but now deflation is quietly hollowing out the confidence of China’s once-aspiring middle class.

[...]

For Zhu, the economics professor at CEIBS, there is little time to waste for China to get itself out of this deflationary spiral. The government must pour more money into encouraging consumption — to the tune of half a trillion dollars — via unlimited vouchers for households to drive spending. If not, China’s economy is in dangerous trouble, he said.

“Historically, deflation is extremely rare,” said Zhu. “If prices are down for three years and inflation doesn’t come back, then people will believe it won’t come back. And that’s when China becomes Japan.”
