Betting that Israel will continue committing atrocities to soften Iran’s underbelly, and that Washington will pretend they’ve lost their leash, is a rational bet. Question is what are they gonna do about it. It seems to me the breaks in fighting have been more for Iran’s benefit than Washington. Oil reserves are still down, the number of ships passing is still way smaller than needed. Shit’s not good.

No, so technically you really are gatekeeping slop rather than “AI” specifically. So there can be the code itself, so this example from a recently claimed ‘user level anti-cheat’, we have a purported “kernel integrity checker”: https://github.com/TuncorReUnion/TLAC-MODERN-LOCAL-ANTI-CHEAT-REUNIONED/blob/main/kernel/tlac_kernel.c So a relatively intact structure for a kernel module, but just the dumbest concept imaginable (a kernel is ‘good’ so long as the words ‘rootkit’ nor ‘suspicious’ appear in /proc/modules, since rootkits obviously must name themselves ‘rootkit’ and other suspicious software must name itself ‘suspicious’. Basically look at almost any file in that repository and you’ll see similar stuff, in-tact, even suspiciously complete boilerplate with stupid logic. Alternatively, crazy verbose. The there’s the git activity, the project above has a git commit history: https://github.com/TuncorReUnion/TLAC-MODERN-LOCAL-ANTI-CHEAT-REUNIONED/commits/main/ Activity comes in crazy number of commits, and you can kind of see for each one what kind of prompt would have driven that change, with the disconnect between syntax correction but the underlying concept is just stupid. Then sometimes, it’s not the code or code activity itself, but the commentary. So this change looks plausible to most folks without much tell: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/7074/changes Then there’s the discussion, which mostly proceeded in a “no one has any idea what any of this is about, but everything sounds plausible and it’s niche enough that heck if I know if it really makes sense”. Eventually this comment: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/7074#issuecomment-4509336034 It has that LLM smell “That’s a great question”, and the expanded description is enough for a broader audience to start seeing jargon that doesn’t make sense. But it’s still niche enough for most people to have no idea what to make of it.

Covert Sino-Russian military training signed off at high level Training was linked to war in Ukraine, Reuters reporting showed At least four generals took part, sources and documents say Training in China included biological and chemical warfare European officials grow more anxious about China-Russia defence ties China’s covert military training of Russian forces last year was personally approved by President Vladimir Putin’s defence minister and directly involved at least four Russian and Chinese generals. … A classified Russian document seen by Reuters directly referred to an internal decree issued by Defence Minister Andrei Belousov in August, 2025. It said that, in accordance with a decision by Belousov, a delegation from Russia’s armed forces travelled to China to participate in training exercises at People’s Liberation Army (PLA) facilities. … The same report detailed one of the training courses - a three-week session focused on radiological, chemical and biological protection at a military facility in Beijing in November. The report and a second one described and displayed images of Russian soldiers being lectured by a Chinese instructor, looking at a model nuclear reactor, and being taught about “chemical reconnaissance”, “radiation reconnaissance” and protecting ventilation systems from contamination. The inclusion of radiological, biological and chemical warfare training underlined the strategic nature of the exchanges, one of the European officials said, noting that the topic was particularly sensitive for militaries in general. … Beijing says it is neutral in Russia’s war with Ukraine, and presents itself as a peace mediator. According to a Reuters report last month citing European intelligence agencies and military documents, China in November trained around 200 Russian military personnel, some of whom have since joined the war in Ukraine. … The EU has already imposed sanctions on Chinese companies that it says support Russia’s war effort. A third official, in Brussels, told Reuters the bloc had to stop viewing China primarily through an economic lens, but focus on what Kallas called its role as a “decisive enabler of Russia’s war”. Both of the European officials, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the information, identified the signatories of a July 2 agreement underpinning the training as Russian Major General Rustam Khusainov and Chinese Senior Colonel Sun Dayun. … CHINA’S LACK OF COMBAT EXPERIENCE Russia has accrued extensive experience in more than four years of combat in Ukraine, while China, with a vast and technologically advanced military, has not fought a war in decades. Internal Russian military reports seen by Reuters noted strengths and weaknesses in the training. One report on the training in Nanjing praised the standard of the equipment, the use of simulators and the instructors’ high theoretical knowledge while specifically noting China’s lack of combat experience. Other documents named three generals who took part. One Russian military document seen by Reuters listed the names of every participant in all of the courses - including those of senior officers - providing rank, date of birth, affiliation and level of security clearance in each case. Colonel General Rustam Muradov, deputy commander-in-chief of Russia’s land forces, led the Russian delegation, according to the list and a second military document seen by Reuters. According to the latter, Chinese Major General Li Jinsun, head of the PLA’s Military Academy of Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defence, took part in the opening of one of the courses. Russian Major General Vitaly Gerasimov took part in a course in Bengbu, according to the list.

Thousands are taking to the streets of the capital, Kolkata, and other major cities in the Indian state of West Bengal everyday against the newly elected ultra-right-wing government’s policy of large-scale demolitions of houses and small shops. The mobilizations, some spontaneous but mostly organized by the left parties in the state, are a result of the left’s call to not allow such actions to take place without proper rehabilitation and compensation, as most of the affected are poor and marginalized people. Whenever the bulldozers turn up for demolition without prior notification and well announced rehabilitation plans, cadres and local leaders of the left parties, carrying red flags and banners, march with the affected population often surrounding them and forcing them to retreat. On most occasions, the protesters face state repression, such as violence and arrests. Sometimes, the cadres have to stay up all night keeping watch for the possible return of the bulldozers, as the state has tried to deceive them on several occasions with tactical retreats in the day only to return and conduct the demolitions in the middle of the night. The left organizers, including the hawkers’ unions, have also filed several legal petitions demanding protection from what they call the “arbitrary actions” of the state. The courts have obliged them temporarily on certain occasions. The left’s anti-demolition protests across West Bengal and in Kolkata city in particular have pushed other groups and common people to also stand up against the drive, which threatens to force millions of poor city dwellers into destitution. Anti-minority, pro-rich government Only days after assuming power in the state, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government unleashed the demolition drive against millions of people living in shanties/slums inside Kolkata and other parts of West Bengal. It also issued notifications against several residential colonies, calling them “illegal.” The media in the state tried to portray the demolitions as a move against “illegal immigrants” a euphemism for minority Muslims in order to polarize majority support behind the government’s move, Sawmen Mitter, a prominent resident of the city and a left sympathizer told BreakThrough News. The BJP may still want to push a narrative that pits Hindus against Muslims, claims Alakesh Das, a former member of the parliament and a left activist, as it serves their purpose of legitimizing pro-rich and anti-poor policies. The fact is, Das argues, most of the people affected by the demolitions are poor Hindus who have migrated to Kolkata and other major cities in the state in search of better livelihoods in the context of the prolonged rural distress in the state. The demolitions target street vendors, petty shopkeepers, shanties and slums in Kolkata and other major cities. Demolition also aims to “reclaim” government land near railway stations, bus stands, and public places, apart from targeting some residential areas within the city which have emerged during the 15-year rule of the previous government and are mostly considered to be inhabited by Muslims. Though Mitter rubbishes the BJP claims of most of the minority Muslims are “illegal Bangladeshi migrants” flooding the state and the city, he agrees that the number of people living in those shanties, on the streets and even in unauthorized colonies in Kolkata increased many fold during the last 15 years of TrinaMool Congress (TMC) rule. This happened because “the real estate developers in the city and across Bengal used their links with the ruling party to illegally occupy open spaces in the city to fill it with migrants from rural areas in exchange for money and electoral benefits, with the administration largely looking the other way. “Most of the people living even in those illegally constructed apartments – in those ghettos in particular – are also not really well off,” Mitter notes. Most spent their hard-earned money to move to these apartments for better living and protection from rising religious hatred across the country, he argues. Responding to the questions of legality, Mitter argues that “to the left, that is not the question at all.” “That’s a middle class narrative which, in essence, I think, is absolutely self-centric. It’s the neoliberal Hindu middle classes that think as such, devoid of any compassion whatsoever for the people living on the margins, irrespective of whatever their faith is.” Lives of millions at stake It is well established that most of the people affected by the demolitions are poor who have been working in Kolkata city and other urban spaces in the state. “The BJP-led government is using the beautification of Kolkata, talking about laws just to displace hundreds of thousands perhaps millions of people who have lived and worked in the same cities for decades without making any alternative arrangement for the affected,” Alakesh Das says. The absence of a rehabilitation program would mean that millions who are already very poor will become destitute in the city as they cannot go anywhere else. They would be living without shelter and with no source of livelihood if pushed out from their present dwellings, Das warns. Das talks about the lack of consideration of the impact this mad drive may have on millions of people. Thousands of these street vendors have long been the main provider of affordable goods and services to millions living and working in the city and the adjacent areas. Even if your daily income was less than two US dollars per day you could eat two square meals in street side food stalls and restaurants and save some money for other basic needs. This will no longer be possible as one of the largest sections affected by the demolition is those very food stalls and restaurants, Alakesh Das said, citing one example of how the large-scale demolitions may affect normal life in Kolkata as a whole. The poor who pull cycle rickshaws and drive autos in the city, for example, will be forced to pay more for their food and accommodation now because of these demolitions. It will make their services also expensive. This would mean both the poor and the middle class, the majority of the city dwellers, would be affected, Das underlines. Talking to BreakThrough News, Debes Das, another left activist living in the city for generations, claimed that the BJP wants to replace these petty shops with big malls and shiny shopping centers, which will raise the cost of living for the majority of people in the city. “Demolitions are anti-people because those at the receiving end of such drives are mostly the ones that live a hand to mouth existence,” Mitter says. He claims that it is almost impossible for those affected by these demolitions to “find a means to somehow sustain themselves and those dependent on them” once the demolition is carried out. “They can barely afford to live a life of minimum human dignity with their settlements gone, nor can they carry on with what they do for a living out of the shops they had been running for quite some time.” The dubious role of the media Talking about the media’s attempts to give the demolitions a religious face and completely ignore the poor, both Mitter and Das call it deliberate. It is an execution of a malicious agenda of the ruling party which has mastered the art of selling anti-people policies as pro-Hindu, they argue. “There’s nothing surprising in this,” Mitter argues, noting it has been the norm across the country in the last 12 years of BJP rule. Mitter also argues that, “the corporate controlled pliant media” has created a binary and loves to promote it. The result of the binary is the absence of talks around actual people, poor people, and their daily struggles. The media “hardly ever mentions the left for example. Even though, over the last four to five years, it has taken the state by storm time and again over issues concerning the people and the state. In a society like it is now, people – even die hard left sympathizers remain in the dark if things are not shown on TV.” This affects the movements’ capacity to have a demonstrative effect. In most cases, the movements remain a local intervention, even if they have larger aspects, as in the case of the anti-demolition protests. That is why the left has pushed anti-demolition actions on social media, hoping to shift public opinion in opposition to the narratives pushed by the mainstream media in India. Left in West Bengal The left in West Bengal is largely made of cadres of the communist party of India (Marxist), the Communist Party of India (CPI), and other left parties. Though it has been a leading political force in the state during and after the anti-colonial period in Indian history it emerged as a ruling party only after winning the 1977 elections and retained power for over three decades. It lost the state legislative elections to the centrist TMC in 2011. The 15-year rule of the TMC is considered the worst phase for left politics in the state as its activists and leaders faced massive state-sponsored repression. This also made the left electorally irrelevant for over a decade. The BJP won the last state legislative elections held in April this year amidst allegations of large-scale manipulation and the misuse of state machinery. The left alliance could only win two seats in the state legislature, despite popular disenchantment from the TMC rule. However, unlike the TMC, which seems to be disintegrating as a political force since the electoral defeat, the left decided to put all its force behind protecting the livelihoods and shelters of hundreds of thousands of Bengalis and stand against the sectarian and anti-poor policies of the BJP. Both Kolkata and the state of West Bengal are one of the most densely-populated regions of India, with large-scale migration from rural areas to urban centers in search of jobs and better living conditions. West Bengal is also a state which shares a large international border with Bangladesh. The BJP has promoted the majoritarian narrative that most of the Muslims in the state, around 30% of over a 100 million population, are “illegal migrants” from Bangladesh. It had promised to push these “illegal immigrants” out in its attempts to mobilize majority Hindu votes during the elections. Kolkata is one of the largest cities in India with a population of over 16 million. The left is the only force which can defeat the pro-corporate Hindutva force “The left cannot simply afford to leave people to fend for themselves when a vindictive government is out to destroy them and thereby, polarize the populace on religious lines even further,” Mitter argues and demands a sustained and strong movement. Though the media has totally blacked it out, the anti-demolition movement by the left is getting popular support as well. This is simply because it is the people who are affected in mass and there is no other political force which is even willing to stand in front of the BJP’s anti-people policies, Debes Das asserted. Despite the fact that it’s an “uphill task for the left, particularly the CPI (M), to stand up to this aggression, given its diminished strength” electorally, it is putting up the best possible fight it can in decades, Mitter affirms. Of course, if the government continues with its demolition drive, the left will continue to fight against it. This fight will only grow more organized in the coming days, exploring all possible means, including legal avenues to stop the BJP’s anti-people policies, claimed Alakesh Das. We simply cannot let the BJP destroy millions of peoples lives and force them into destitution, just so that some people can become richer. The left won’t allow this in Bengal, he concluded.

On the occasion of the 105th anniversary of the Communist Part of China’s founding, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization salutes the party that has led the Chinese people through the fires of revolution and into the dawn of building socialism. The party took everyday people’s dreams for a better life and organized them to fight, bringing dreams into reality. Mao understood that “without the Communist Party there could be no new China” as a historic truth. For hundreds of years, the Chinese people were being crushed under the enormous weight of three mountains: feudalism, bureaucratic capitalism and imperialism. The CPC led the people in a righteous struggle to tear those mountains down. With the science of revolution, incredible sacrifice, and a refusal to surrender, they won liberation and embarked on the construction of a socialist society that continues to chart new courses. A single spark can indeed light a prairie fire. In 1921, at its founding, membership was just over 50. 105 years later, it surpassed 101 million members and stands as the largest governing party in the world, with an unbreakable bond with the masses of people, because the Party is part of the fabric of everyday life, from farm to factory. The CPC’s achievements have been rooted in the commitment to “serve the people.” And the achievements are truly world-historic: lifting nearly 100 million people out of absolute poverty, making breakthroughs in advanced technology, pioneering green energy and development, and building out infrastructure projects that make life better for the many. In unleashing the productive forces, China has truly reshaped the world. With its party at the helm, the brave spirit and blazing hope of the Chinese people are shining a light on the path to a brighter, socialist future. Long live the Communist Party of China! Long live international solidarity! #FRSO #International #China From Fight Back! News via This RSS Feed.

Today’s game is some more Jedi Survivor. I went through with the story today and that’s been my main focus. I did get one picture i felt turned out exceptional though and that’s the one above of the storm trooper. I was playing with the filters too and got this one i rather liked. I took a few other shots but they felt far more fantastical. One thing i’ve noticed is this game feels a little less refined than Fallen Order, for example, this scorpion. I got locked into one of those “kill” animations and for some reason it moved their position like 20 feet in the air and then dropped Cal right after it was done. Also, this one isn’t an issue but Cal has a habit of making the dorkiest faces. I got this one in the wind tunnels area for example. If you take note i also gave him the Windswept hair style. I think it’s meant to look like Anakin, and if not it’s at least giving off similar vibes (when it’s not being shoved around by air at least). Anyways, after that quest I decided to go back to Coruscant. I saved the game there. I want to take and redo some pictures i botched the first time i was there before i realized i had to actively hide the UI in the second game

Honestly, Lemmy has been good for me in some ways because it isn’t as popular and doesn’t have the deep niche communities reddit has that I was super active in. I get more accomplished now because I essentially “finish” my Lemmy browsing and move on, whereas reddit always had something else for me to dive into.
