Bundeswehr startete 2001 geheim und ohne Mandat nach Afghanistan
25 Jahre nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September gibt es neue Erkenntnisse zum damaligen Auslandseinsatz der Bundeswehr. Nach NDR-Recherchen waren Spezialkräfte bereits nach Afghanistan aufgebrochen, bevor es ein Bundestagsmandat dafür gab.

The Imperial Household Agency is considering holding a funeral rite for Emperor Emeritus Akihito on a smaller scale than that of his father, per the request of the emperor emeritus, sources in the agency said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09/03/japan/emperor-emeritus-funeral-downsize/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #emperoremeritusakihito #imperialhouseholdagency #imperialfamily
Autistici/Inventati got sanctioned by the U.S. for providing secure services to left-wing activists and allegedly terrorists.
This must be another wake-up call for digital sovereignty.
After all, #privacy is a human right, and we must not take that away from everyone.

Sie tun zwar gerne so – aber die AfD hat die Landtagswahl noch lange nicht gewonnen.🤗 Lasst uns jetzt nochmal alles geben und die Message verbreiten: Strategisch wählen – AfD-Regierung verhindern. 🤝
This is dismaying, to say the least. I’ve had a family account for 8 years and an individual account for years before that. I have trusted @1password with So. Much. Personal. Info. I do not want to have to migrate… but I will, if this doesn’t change.

I noticed today that an update to the #Linux #Zoom client has made it start proactively reading _everything_ written to the X11 clipboard.
If you keep interesting secrets in your clipboard – particularly, if a password manager uses it as a means of getting the password to where it needs to be – this might be a thing you need to know about!
Para pasar un rato alucinante esta página con un mapamundi de los hongos de la micorriza arbuscular que pueblan el planeta desde hace 450 millones de años, que conviven con el 70% de las plantas del planeta formando una red que si se estirara llegaría a medir más de 10 años luz.... Un montón de materia viva que conecta literalmente el mundo: 5 veces la biomasa humana... Pero lo más chulo es pasearse por el mapa y leer las historias que cuentan en "Underground Networks":

In modes derived from special-mode (e.g., help or info buffers), q is bound to quit-window, which will bury the buffer but not kill it. Most of the time I DO want it to kill the buffer too, though, which can be achieved with C-u q.
Emacs 31.1 made this a lot easier by adding a variable called quit-window-kill-buffer:
@citizen428 Maybe I should read this manual again. The last time I did that is about 35 years ago, and it was Emacs 18.55 or so.
So pennies were too expensive to make, but a $1 coin with Trump on it wasn’t?
Republicans are the biggest bunch of bootlicking snotsuckers…
It is not easy to avoid this topic in full. The hardest part is that other topics are "AI-soaked". You can follow other people because they do good things (programming, making art and other), but they might also touch AI in any way. Is it worth then to not follow them?

@bpl @kaleissin @stefano I've been building a GenAI Discourse™ filter set for a while that's now >500 terms, and takes a couple *hours* every week to continue adding terms just so I can engage with the topic in a way of my choosing.
people can talk about what they want and what's important, that's the point of social media, but what's going on here is well beyond that.
the fedi "region" I'm in, I would not currently recommend to 95% of people looking for an offramp from megacorp social media.
"The Brazilian meteorological agency warned last week that the El Ninõ will delay the onset of the Amazonian rainy season, raise temperatures, deplete rivers and intensify fire risks.
This is a cause of global alarm because the world’s greatest tropical rainforest is an important climate regulator that draws down carbon dioxide and distributes cool, moist air across South America and far beyond. It acts like a heart, but pumping water instead of blood, according to the scientist, Antonio Nobre, When the Amazon weakens, the entire world suffers.
The timing of the El Niño could hardly be worse. Scientists and indigenous residents warned the Amazon is still struggling to recover from the devastation caused during the last El Niño year in 2023-24, which left some of the world’s greatest rivers at record low levels, prompted unprecedented fire outbreaks and caused mass deaths of dolphins and fish.
With a third of the Amazon now degraded by farming, mining and human-caused climate disruption, the forest is now more flammable and vulnerable to “megafires,” raising concerns that many parts may tip beyond the point of no return."

"The government of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has stepped up countermeasures. It has reduced deforestation enormously since the Bolsonaro years with satellite monitoring and enforcement operations.
This produced positive results last year, when the burned area of the Amazon fell to its lowest level since records began in 1985. The government is also investing more in firefighting capacity.
Many traditional communities are also forming their own firefighting units.
The government has warned that traditional lands will face increased fire risks, and has stockpiled food in case of shortages. In protected areas, ICMBio has previously distributed these emergency supplies to stranded communities.
But it is far less clear which agency will help families – like Mauyra Asurini’s- who live outside federal areas, if they are cut off and afflicted by shortages of water and failure of crops."

> Lianyong Wei's death marks the 57th death of an immigrant detainee held in the care of the government since the start of President Trump's second term. Twenty-four of those have occurred since Jan. 1.
Besides Google and Apple Maps...
...are there any good GPS / Map apps that do rail and transit routing well?
Ideally something based on OpenStreetMaps and available on Apple.
