The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) has found that France is responsible for grave and systematic violations of the rights of unaccompanied migrant children, stating that many are being left homeless, deprived of basic care, and living in conditions that the Committee described as “degrading” and “contrary to human dignity”.

The Committee concluded that France has breached its obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child by violating a wide range of children’s rights. These include the best interests of the child, the rights to health care and education, as well as the prohibition of detention for migration-related reasons and inhuman or degrading treatment, among others.

Germany, like other European governments, has generally considered such returns as voluntary gestures of goodwill, and “interstate (political) affairs,” rather than part of a duty to repair historic and ongoing colonial harm affecting communities.

18 WEAPONS OUT actions in a week of continent wide antimilitarist shenanigans. From Elbit to Marand to Saab to Boeing we used dragons, frogs and furries to harass the war profiteers .

We tried new tactics and forged new bonds. The Rebel Choir was born. Bombs 4 Billionaires popped out of a bottle of Bollinger. Tree Frogs Against Genocide gave Leonardo the shittiest day ever. We picketed and blocked and occupied and rallied for

Homes Not Guns Food Not Bombs. Planets Not Profits.

Gratitude to all the creative minds and hot bodies that got in the way of the war machine during Weapons OUT!

Hey all. Unemployed and looking for something fun/interesting to work on lol

I use gadgetbridge to connect to a smart ring to track some basic health data, and while having everything on the phone is OK, I much prefer doing/viewing things from my PC. I thought maybe having some kind of self hosted dashboard/site displaying data gathered by gadgetbridge could be cool, but what do you guys think? Anything more interesting that could be done with the database that it can export on a schedule? I've also considered having gadgetbridge as one of several sources, but I'm not sure how many other privacy conscious options are out there.

I'm thinking of just leaving the transferring of the database to other programs, would that be acceptable? I already have gadgetbridge export every 2hrs and use syncthing to get it onto the NAS.

Would appreciate any thoughts, or if you think it's unnecessary even.

Result falls short of giving Milei a congressional majority but surprises many analysts after series of scandals

The party of Argentina’s far-right president, Javier Milei, has won Sunday’s midterm elections after a campaign in which Donald Trump announced a $40bn bailout for the country and made continued aid conditional on the victory of his Argentinian counterpart.

With more than 95% of ballots counted, La Libertad Avanza secured 40.84% of the nationwide vote, in an election widely seen as a de facto referendum on the self-styled anarcho-capitalist’s nearly two years in power. The Peronist opposition, Fuerza Patria, secured 31.67%.

While the result falls short of giving Milei a congressional majority – which remains with the Peronists – it has surprised Argentinian analysts, given the recent blows to the libertarian’s popularity from corruption allegations involving his sister to the current economic crisis.

British journalist Sami Hamdi was reportedly detained on Sunday morning by federal immigration authorities at San Francisco international airport, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) says that action is apparent retaliation for the Muslim political commentator’s criticism of Israel while touring the US.

A statement from Cair said it was “a blatant affront to free speech” to detain Hamdi for criticizing Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza while he engaged on a speaking tour in the US. A Trump administration official added in a separate statement that Hamdi is facing deportation.

The Quebec government says it will ban religious symbols in the province's daycare centres.

Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge says there is a "broad consensus" that Quebecers want secularism to be strengthened.

The announcement follows a recommendation made this summer by a committee tasked with advising the province on how to enhance secularism. The committee had called for the ban to be extended to daycares.

Quebec has already banned public sector workers in positions of authority, such as teachers and judges, from wearing religious symbols on the job.

So I’m self hosting Immich in docker with Immich frame. I’m running Immich frame on a raspberry pi 4 in chromium (full screen on an 7” touch screen frame) and it works great, until it seems to randomly close chromium. If I reopen chromium it says do I want to restore tab, when I do it just pulls up my Immich frame IP and works like normal again. I am going to look through my docker logs today after work but has anyone else run into this issue before? It is pretty random and it’s been working for a week straight and then randomly the pi will just be on the home screen instead of full screen chromium.

Etc.

The obvious solution is to forbid medias to be bought by the wealthy, giving them to their journalists. And to also increase the pluralism instead of aiming for a uniformity/pseudo-objectivity/'chase of the militant medias'.
The problem isn't the existence of far-right medias, but that they're disproportionately supported by the anti-communists/wealthy, and that there's almost no anti-imperialist/communist media in comparison.
At least in my opinion.

As an example to continue C.Johnstone's enumeration, many people oppose communism because they love freedom, how stupid is that.
And atrocity propaganda is unfortunately here to stay.

They see a tyranny to bring down, while i see a population opressed(, from the start,) for their political/economic ideals : https://t.me/MFARussia/27001

My point would be that no western media will ever defend the DPRK, and that lack of pluralism is considered normal. How easy it is to win a debate if only one side can speak.

The coming months will test the limits of the New York governor’s ability to work alongside a fickle president who is detested by fellow Democrats, with her 2026 reelection potentially at stake. Mamdani’s base will press Hochul to give him left-leaning victories, like a tax increase on rich New Yorkers that the governor opposes. If that’s not enough pressure, Trump has made clear he’ll exert his power over the city if Mamdani wins.

Hochul is walking a very delicate line. She needs Trump’s ear to ensure that funding for crucial infrastructure projects and anti-terrorism efforts will continue to flow. Yet the governor, who is being challenged in a primary by her lieutenant governor Antonio Delgado, can’t be seen as too chummy with a president who is loathed by her own party. Waiting in the wings is Trump ally Rep. Elise Stefanik, who is weighing a bid against the governor.

The situation creates an uncomfortable bind for Hochul, who has cobbled together a surprising rapport with the mercurial president, as evidenced by several White House meetings with him this year. She speaks to Trump frequently on the phone, often calling him directly. In public, Hochul has been eager to castigate the president when she believes his policies will harm New York. But a Mamdani win stands to upend this carefully constructed dynamic.

“I’m not going to send a lot of money to New York. I don’t have to. You know, the money comes all through the White House,” Trump said recently. “And if they’re going to be sending us stupid policies, I mean, communist policies… we’re not going to ruin one of our great cities.”

Hochul has pledged to “fight like hell” to oppose any cuts to the deep blue city, whose voters she will need to win reelection next year and where the president is deeply unpopular. The governor, too, believes Trump doesn’t want to do anything that would hurt his hometown, where he still retains significant business interests.

I have had around a dozen smart bulbs/switches/plugs from three companies for 5-10 years now. Globe Suite, Meross, and 'C by GE' (General Electric). All three are dependent on their respective cloud services, and are integrated with Google Home. (I know, I know.... It's time to dump this crap, it's why I'm here) Globe Suite has been great tbh, but 'C by GE' is absolute trash, and one of the two Meross devices have now died, prompting a long awaited change.

My big sticking point is knowing where to start with hardware. I don't know much about the different communication protocols/methods or what to choose (zigbee? Z-wave? Do I need some sort of Hub? Can/should I just use a wifi connection like the current setup? 🤷), and I don't really know where to look to purchase smart devices that aren't cloud dependent. (buying from Canada)

Funds are tight so this'll be an over time project. For now I'm looking to replace three switches. One single pole. One 3-way. Ane one dimmer. Neutral wires are available at all three locations.

Later I'll be looking to replace 3 smart plugs. Adding current/power monitoring would be neat, but definitely not a priority as I have an Iotawatt at the pannel. After that 4 dimmable white light smart bulbs. Finally there's an RGBW LED controller that'll need replacing. The plugs, bulbs, and leds are all Globe Suite; I'm not in a major hurry to replace them as they've given me next to no trouble compared to the other two companies garbage.

Where do I start? Where do you guys buy hardware, and what manufacturers?

What should I be looking for in hardware I can integrate with HA and essentially firewall off from the internet?

Finally, how about things like sensors? (weather, motion, moisture, sound)

The next week or so I'll fire up an HA container just to poke around a bit more. That part I'm pretty confident in, it's just figuring out some hardware to go with it. Thanks for any advice :)

The New South Wales supreme court has struck down a law that had given police expanded powers to prevent protests near places of worship.

Josh Lees, on behalf of the Palestine Action Group, had challenged the law on the basis that it was unconstitutional.

Justice Anna Mitchelmore ruled on Thursday that the police powers impermissibly burdened the freedom of political communication implied in Australia’s constitution.

The challenge came after the NSW government in February made changes aimed at curbing antisemitism. This included a law which gave police the power to move on protesters who were “in or near” a place of worship.

[...]

The court heard the catalyst for the places of worship bill was a protest outside the Great Synagogue where a member of the Israel Defense Forces was speaking.

“[It] was not a religious event,” PAG’s barrister, Felicity Graham, had told the court.

Lees told reporters after the judgment was delivered: “The Palestinian group has not organised a single protest targeting a place of worship.

“These laws were about targeting anyone who protested near a place of worship, even if it had nothing to do with that place of worship.”

Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
