this should be a controversial post lol

Dana Joudeh was in shackles when she found out she was pregnant.

The 35-year-old from the West Bank city of Nablus was newly married and had just spent her first night in an Israeli prison. Israeli forces had ~~arrested her without charges and put her under administrative detention, an arbitrary condition for holding Palestinians hostage~~ abducted her.

She lost consciousness in front of Israeli soldiers at Sharon Prison, a ~~temporary detention facility~~ torture dungeon in the city of Netanya, and they took her to a hospital blindfolded. There, with her hands and feet bound in chains, she was given a pregnancy test that came back positive.

Israeli forces used sound grenades inside the prison, according to Joudeh’s family and her lawyer, Hassan Abbadi, who provides volunteer legal support for detained Palestinians. They said soldiers would force the women to lie face down on the floor.

On September 12, Joudeh gave birth by C-section under local anesthesia, watching the operation as it was happening. Maram said that Joudeh’s hands and feet were shackled while she was cut open, and female Israeli soldiers surrounded her with guns in the operating room, standing guard.

Joudeh’s doctor was Israeli, and she recalled him speaking to her in cruel, degrading terms, according to Maram. “The terrorist has arrived,” she remembered him saying about the fragile newborn. Joudeh named her Lia.

Hi, maybe I'm old school but i did not appreciate Google replacing their old "Google assistant" on Android with the new Gemini. I do not want to participate in Gemini.

How can i replace it with a more traditional voice assistant?

I don't use it for very much: the only workflows it would really have to support are:

• Play music (currently Spotify), e.g., "Play the Beatles on Spotify"
• Set timers and alarms on the clock app, e.g. "Set a timer for one hour with the label: laundry".

I think tasker can do this? But i couldn't find a good guide online.

Anyone know a good way of going about setting this up without it becoming a new hobby?

Linux Networking Diverts 50+ Fixes To Next Kernel, Still Bombarded With AI Fueled Churn

Today’s game is Pokemon Soul Silver. I’m about to take on the Pokemon League, but before I do I want to try and fill out the Johto Dex. I’d like to have to avoid doing return trips that way.

I had gotten the Master Ball and decided to use it on Lugia. I usually go without using it, but this time I wanted to try something different because I always end up with an extra Master Ball I don’t use. I’ll always try and save it for a bigger fish, and never end up using it.

Since I’m running all around the region I decided to check in on some of the NPCs. Lyra is one of the ones I checked on. Now that I’m thinking about it though what did she do? I know she went with us on our journey a few places but I don’t remember much beyond that.

Anyways, tomorrow I’m gonna try and fill out some more of that National Dex. I don’t think it will be too hard but we’ll see.

"I think the Russians saw me through the drone camera. When I heard the drone, I hid in the stairwell for ten minutes. When I came back into the yard, the drone hit right next to me. My legs folded away and then I only saw a blood fountain, says the boy, who is now home after the operation. Andrij's mother, 43-year-old Yuliia Spitsa, is convinced that the Russian drone pilot knew that he had hunted a child. But that did not stop him.

...

Andrij has injury of drone shards on his leg. He was rescued by Ukrainian soldiers who were passing by. They put on a pressure bandage and took the boy first to his mother, later to the hospital. Now the 11-year-old can walk again. His family says that compared to other victims of Russian drone strikes in Cherson, Andrij was quite lucky.

The 11-year-old can recognize different types of Russian weapons by their sounds, his playground is surrounded by air defenses.

...

According to Human Rights Watch, 30 civilians were killed by Russian drones in Cherson between May and December 2024, and at least 500 were injured. In January 2025, short-range drones, particularly FPV drones, accounted for 70 percent of all civilian casualties in the Ukraine-controlled part of the Cherson area, according to the United Nations.

The port city of Cherson is shelled almost daily. The city on the right bank of the river Dnipro was liberated by Ukrainian troops in November 2022. According to local authorities, about 60,000 people still live here today, compared to 279,000 in January 2022.

“Santa”, the Ukrainian soldier, watched this video [showing the drone attack on the 1-year old Andrij] several times and tried to analyze the action of the Russian drone pilot.

"This was not a practice or a mistake. The man was not a beginner – he simply cold-bloodedly chased a civilian. The Russians know that they can no longer take Cherson. And they simply try to destroy what they are not entitled to, what they cannot get, says the man who has been defending his hometown since the first days of the great war."

...

In one of many related report, France24 published ‘Not an isolated incident’: Russian drones stalk Ukraine’s civilians in ‘human safaris',

The video of a Ukrainian cyclist being targeted and killed by a short-range drone posted – and later deleted – by the Russian military Friday left viewers outraged and shaken. But it’s not the first time that Russian drone operators have been accused of terrorising Ukrainian civilians by deliberately targeting them in “human safaris” denounced as a war crime by an independent UN commission.

Based on the numbers at https://steamframeout.com/ you can do some very rough back of the envolope calculations and it's not looking great.

In recent days, purchases and deliveries seem to move to a pretty consistent 150/day pace. At this rate, moving through the queue of roughly 37.000 reservations will take around 240 days.

Being more generous you could substract the already shipped Frames and assume a more optimistic 160 deliveries per day. This shortens the timespan to just 200 days for the outstanding backlog.

So yeah, the last reservations would be delivered around April 2027.

I am fully aware of all the caveats of the numbers used, this is just a fun little exercise based on available data.

CEO Dana White has long been an ally of President Donald Trump and his administration. Agents would be trained in hand-to-hand combat.

The FBI plans to offer the Ultimate Fighting Championship an exclusive one-year contract to train its special agents in hand-to-hand combat, according to a document released by the agency in September.

The UFC, according to the bureau, is “the sole qualified vendor” capable of providing tactical training that meets FBI standards. The justification for the contract cited the “expertise” the multibillion-dollar global media business has in mixed martial arts, striking techniques, grappling and takedowns.

The bureau said that market research determined that “no other vendor can provide comprehensive training encompassing all required skills at the necessary expertise level within the required timeframe.”

Duration - 5:21 [a video on Peertube about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

When Massachusetts-based musician and activist Ben Grosscup (@BenGrosscup) learned his mother had Alzheimer’s, he turned to Cuba for help.

He traveled to Havana to obtain NeuralCIM, a groundbreaking Cuban medication that has had remarkable results in slowing the progression of Alzheimer's.

The treatment was developed by Cuban scientist Dr. Teresita Rodríguez, whose work Belly of the Beast documented in Teresita’s Dream: https://peertube.world/w/12Ys6gA19mfGA8Li574VY5

Grosscup has long opposed his government’s economic war on Cuba. But as intensified sanctions and an oil blockade limit the island’s ability to produce medicines like NeuralCIM, U.S. policy became more personal.

“The blockade is harming my own family,” he says.

A link to the original post.

And a screenshot of said post along with top comments:

Rules listed as broken:

• Rule 4 (chiliedogg): "No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or ‘wasted votes on 3rd party’ is lessor evil rhetoric." (Note: they mean "lesser-evil" rhetoric, as in an appeal to "vote for the lesser evil" in a first-past-the-post system.)
• Rule 6 (me): "Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, ‘paid by Putin,’ Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming."

"Homophobia"

Addressing this upfront because it makes no sense: I can't tell where the "homophobia" claim came from. None of my three comments in that thread (shown below) contain anything even pertaining to sexuality, so I was baffled seeing this.

Grasping at straws, my only guesses are that @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml:

• (Charitably) Doesn't know what the word "meatpuppet" means and didn't bother to take three seconds to check. (In case you don't want to check, it's a person with no agency of their own controlled by somebody else as a front.)
• (Less-than-charitably) Didn't think I'd retain the evidence and wanted to throw a little libel into the mod log, as a treat.

Comments

Note: the article I linked to in the hypertext "Putin's meatpuppet" was a current news story from the Associated Press titled "Trump strikes deal with Putin to get diesel in sharp reversal of US policy weeks before midterms", wherein Trump struck a deal with Russia to buy 500,000 tons of diesel, with even more in the future.

Note 2: NoneOfUrBusiness' comment changes between the first and second images due to a ninja edit, which I point out.

Context: the OP, K1nsey6, is one of three moderators of this community and thus makes and enforces these rules.

chiliedogg's comment

chilliedogg isn't even criticizing third-party votes. They're literally just still calling Democrats the "frustratingly slow option" (the exact phrasing of the post) while (correctly) calling Republicans the "we're gonna piss in your mouth and poke you in the eye with needles" option. This challenge alone to the post – the act of simply saying the US' fascist far-right are worse than the post claims while not arguing the assessment of the Democratic Party in any way – is enough to warrant a comment removal.

That is, the act alone of making Republicans seem considerably worse than Democrats – without any reference to third-party voting or even directly advocating voting for Democrats – is treated as a Rule 4 violation, which significantly bolsters my point below that what I was saying was true.

This is an obvious abuse of Rule 4, even accounting for the vague and repressive way it's already written.

My comments

I never stated or even implied in this thread that got me banned that the OP was paid by anyone, a tankie, a bot, or was otherwise doing this as some sort of larger operation coordinated with others. I stated that the OP was acting in the interests of Republicans, whose de facto party leader has been acting in the interests of Vladimir Putin. Co-moderator BrainInABox's response to criticism of the Republican Party above is obvious evidence of this.

The rule is used as a catch-all to remove criticism of the community's function as propaganda useful to authoritarian regimes like Russia, where the "etc." is a baked-in "remove any criticism whatsoever if I feel like it" clause. The community is functionally an island of lemmy.ml – if that connection wasn't obvious by the link to "Audiobooks Read by Dessalines [lemmy.ml administrator]" in the community's sidebar.

And if you think the part of the rule that I violated is "Be civil in comments", well boy, do I have a screenshot for you:

And a link to that exchange.

For context, again, K1nsey6 is a moderator, and notably, this comment is over two days old. Moreover, the comment below Doc_Crankenstein's was removed, so this thread clearly wasn't somehow sacred or missed by the moderators. A moderator read a comment where they were told "No shit sherlock [...] I'M FUCKING AGREEING WITH YOU!" then asked if they could "not be a cunt for like 5 minutes [...] instead of arguing with your own imagination" and then called a "fuck face" with basically nothing else of substance and either thought that didn't violate Rule 6 or didn't care.

So I'm going to venture a guess that if this passes as "civil", my pretty plain statement that K1nsey6 is running interference that helps Republicans should be considered downright pleasant and affectionate. (But in reality, it's pretty obvious that the fact they agreed with the moderator, regardless of civility, is what saved them.)

Edit: K1nsey6 replied to one of my comments in that thread a couple minutes after I posted this. This is their personal interpretation of "Be civil in comments":

Conclusion

I believe I deserve to be unbanned and my comments and chiliedogg's comment reinstated. Even under rules designed solely to stifle legitimate criticism, our comments weren't doing anything wrong.

What I'd like most, though, given it seems like the moderators designed the space expressly to power trip, is to bring this abuse of power out in the open, because this is clearly the norm for this community. They don't actually care about what their rules say (e.g. "Be civil in comments"); they exist as "rules for thee, not for me" in order to remove whatever they want.

I compiled these screenshots because I had a sneaking suspicion some excuse would be conveniently found to remove them and wanted a means to be able to defend myself from a one-sided narrative. Although I'm especially glad I did because I didn't in my wildest dreams think "homophobia" would be one of them. In the charitable interpretation (above), it's extremely sloppy, and in the uncharitable one, it's disgraceful and abusive libel.

It should not take someone to die and a ghost bike to be placed to get safe bike infrastructure.
