In the past few days, the Trump administration has:

— Limited Ukraine's use of Starlink to receivers moving less than 100 mph — less than the speed needed by Ukraine's interceptors.

— Ended delivery of intelligence about incoming ballistic missiles.

— Required Ukraine to not hit Russian energy infrastructure even though Russia continues their attacks on energy infrastructure.

In the final days of Trump's reign, Putin wants to squeeze every last bit of support out of the wannabe king.

@randahl The Trump administration has no new plot twists. It's the same script, but new episodes. When their audience gets bored of the current show, they cycle in an old theme:

- Tariffs wars,
- Iran as the arch-nemesis,
- EU as the villain,
- Canada as the villain,
- Mexicans as the plague,
- ungrateful Zelensky,
- the North Korean bromance

That's pretty much it. What's impressive is just how well it works for them.

          La questione del Potere è: da chi dipende.
          Un dittatore, di suo, nel vuoto, è una persona qualunque e non ha più potere di me o di te.
          Ne consegue che chi sostiene al potere il dittatore è più importante del dittatore per sè.
          Questa è una cosa che le monarchie assolute in Europa avevano risolto brillantemente: il potere viene da Dio, quindi è incontestabile.
          Certo questa soluzione lasciava scoperto il problema: viene da Dio ma tramite il Papa, fino al brillante colpo di genio di Enrico VIII che ha rimosso il terzo incomodo tra Dio e il Potere.
          L'inconveniente per i dittatori degli ultimi due secoli è che si prende per assodato che il potere non venga da Dio (...insomma...poi bisogna discuterne con Trump, ma vabbeh...generalmente...).
          Formalmente in democrazia il potere - laico - viene dal popolo che delega uno o più rappresentanti ad esercitarlo.
          Questa della laicità e della rappresentatività del potere è stata una conquista borghese, non popolare: borghese, uscita dal pensiero borghese che ha guidato le rivoluzioni borghesi che hanno formato la borghesissima Europa moderna.
          Questa ipocrisia di fondo è il cuore allo stesso tempo della fragilità e della solidità della democrazia occidentale: formalmente il Potere viene dal popolo, sostanzialmente il Potere viene da quella parte del popolo che controlla i soldi (la borghesia).
          La solidità dipende dal fatto che chi controlla i soldi ha interesse a mantenere la democrazia occidentale esattamente come è stata negli ultimi ottant'anni durante i quali chi controlla i soldi ha governato.
          La fragilità dipende dal fatto che il popolo ad un certo punto potrebbe decidere di volersi per davvero prendere il Potere che formalmente gli appartiene.
          Ora...per sè questa è una buona cosa: il Potere appartiene al popolo e dovrebbe essere suo da esercitare.
          Diventa una cosa meno buona quando il popolo, abbandonato a se stesso, in assenza di un'educazione allo spirito critico e all'esercizio del potere diventa facilmente influenzabile e cade nelle mani di quei movimenti che non a caso si definiscono "populisti".
          Quando avviene questo il cerchio si salda e il Potere laico torna nelle mani del dittatore, consegnato direttamente dal popolo che in realtà non l'ha mai davvero posseduto e francamente non sa cosa farsene perchè non è stato educato a sapere cosa farsene perchè se fosse stato educato a sapere cosa farsene avrebbe messo in questione il potere della borghesia che controlla i soldi e...vabbeh...
          Il potere laico torna nelle mani del dittatore, consegnato direttamente dal popolo per tramite della borghesia che essendo borghesia sa perfettamente quando cambia il vento e da che parte girarsi per continuare a controllare i soldi che sono essenzialmente l'unica cosa che ad essa interessa.
          Molte persone di sinistra fanno una scelta populista pensando di votare contro la borghesia, la dittatura, il fascismo: molte persone di sinistra riceveranno (di nuovo, già è tragicamente successo in passato) un enorme cetriolo nel didietro. Putroppo lo riceveranno anche quelli che hanno cercato di avvisarle.

Dear Prime Minister Ambani,

Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. 

Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? 

There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better. 

Thank you 🙏

            "Without notice, SpaceX has stopped the ​operation of its military-grade version of Starlink above 100 mph (160 km/h) in Ukraine.

            A source in Ukraine's defence ministry added that the limitations significantly complicate logistics and some drone ‌operations.

            Although it was not immediately clear why the Starlink service was throttled, the move comes as Washington pressures Kyiv to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries."

.@elonmusk please tell me these overnight disruptions to Starlink terminals in Ukraine were unintended - that @SpaceX
 is doing everything it can to fix a temporary glitch.

I'm confident this does not reflect a change in SpaceX policy because if so, intentionally degrading Ukraine's ability to defend itself might be construed as aiding and abetting a mass murderer. Can you confirm that's not SpaceX’s intent?

Ukrainians simply want to live in peace. They did not ask Putin to bomb their homes, schools and hospitals. They do not want Putin to kidnap and brainwash their children. They are not interested in destroying energy infrastructure - in Ukraine or in Russia. They only want to defend their country and live their lives.

Supporting Ukrainian sovereignty - or at the very least, allowing for it - should not be a gray area for the U.S. government or for American corporations. Can you clarify the SpaceX position?

But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.

Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration, U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter said.⁠
⁠
Both Musk and President Trump have expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries in recent weeks, which the president blames for high energy prices. Last week, Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network, the people said, rendering some offensive drones and interceptor drones virtually useless.⁠
⁠
Musk and Trump discussed the Starlink decision in a call soon after the slowdown became public, two of the people said. One of the people also claimed Musk and Trump discussed the matter prior to the decision to throttle Starlink.⁠
⁠
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s public complaints—namely that Ukrainians could die if the unrestrictive service wasn’t restored—led to widespread confusion about who ordered the slowdown, and to an informal investigation inside the White House.⁠
⁠
During the uproar, SpaceX representatives called White House counterparts seeking a unified understanding and subsequent message that the company and Trump administration coordinated ahead of Musk’s directive, the people said.⁠
⁠
Musk himself tweeted hours after the slowdown became public, “Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS,” using the acronym for president of the United States. Trump told reporters Monday that he didn’t know who was responsible for the Starlink slowdown, “but I would like to find out.”⁠
⁠
Some U.S. officials say that Musk acted unilaterally and that Trump didn’t specifically order any retribution against Ukraine. But a person familiar with the situation said Musk talked to multiple senior administration officials, including with Trump, before imposing the new speed cap, which Ukrainian officials said had allowed Russian missiles to evade their defenses.⁠

                                Chi vuol Venezia
                                Morta di fame."

                                A Venezia nel 1849 venne soffocato lo slancio di un popolo che orgoglioso della sua storia rifiutava di vivere da suddito.

                                In quello stesso periodo tristemente finiva anche la breve ma bella parentesi della Repubblica Romana.

                                (Su queste cose ci sarebbe da scrivere tanto, soprattutto su Mazzini e Garibaldi, due figure di pensiero estremamente moderno, soggetti post-mortem ad una normalizzazione narrativa che li ha spiattellati su un conformismo unitario, così che mentre gli si dedicavano strade e piazze e costruivano statue, venivano anche privati del potere rivoluzionario di dar fastidio al nuovo Regno d'Italia e a chi effettivamente ne deteneva il potere. Ma vabbeh...qui ragiono d'altro)

                                "Viva Venezia!
                                Feroce, altiera,
                                Difese intrepida
                                La sua bandiera;"

                                E' sempre una tragedia quando un popolo che chiede solo di poter mantenere la sua identità e vivere secondo la sua legittima autodeterminazione è abbandonato alla mercè di una dittatura.

                                Per fortuna sono cose del passato, in tempi moderni non succede, soprattutto in Europa.

                                Non succede vero?

                                "Ma il morbo infuria,
                                Il pan le manca;
                                Sul ponte sventola
                                Bandiera bianca!"

GRAZIE DI VERO CUORE a tuttɜ quellɜ che ci hanno aiutate, diffuso gli appelli e che lo faranno in futuro. Senza di voi non l'avrei potuto fare!

                                        Broadcom, an American company, are telling Europeans not to use to achieve , due to the risk of "depending on Open Source maintainers", and instead tells you to *checks notes* use their proprietary solutions, the same proprietary solutions they recently locked users into, then increased the price by 1000%.

                                        I applaud their audacity.

                                        Open Source prevents you from being locked in and extorted. That same lock-in is Broadcom's business model.

                                          4 panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: The first panel shows a witch with long red hair wearing a black dress and a pointed hat. She is sitting at a window, looking outside at what appears to be a typical autumn scene, with a few clouds in the sky. She holds a drink in one hand and declares, “It has begun. It’s Fall.” Panel 2: The scene shifts to a fairy doing her nails while sitting on the floor. The fairy has green wings, a light green dress, and blonde hair tied up in buns. She is surrounded by objects like a skull, a candle, and some drinks, giving the scene a laid-back vibe. The fairy looks relaxed as she responds, “It’s actually spring.” Panel 3: The third panel returns to the witch, still looking out the window. She confidently repeats, “No, it’s Fall. I can smell it.” Panel 4: In the final panel, the witch clenches her fist in determination, with a look of resolute confidence on her face. She declares, “The fall of the Patriarchy.”

                                            A 19-year-old walked through Helsinki airport in April 2026 carrying two 2TB hard drives and a ticket to Japan.
                                            He couldn’t make that flight.
                                            Finnish police stopped him on an Interpol Red Notice, and by July, US prosecutors had unsealed a federal complaint identifying him as Peter Stokes,
                                            an alleged member of the Scattered Spider hacking group, wanted over a May 2025 breach of a US luxury jewelry retailer that ended in an $8 million ransom demand.

                                            The tool is called a "Global Device Identifier", or GDID,
                                            and outside a handful of enterprise documentation pages, most Windows users had never heard the term before this case made it public.
                                            We went through the full 39-page complaint,
                                            cross checked it against independent reverse engineering of how Windows generates and transmits this identifier,
                                            and fact checked the technical claims since the story broke.

                                              Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has made five requests to the EU that would drastically curtail Russian citizens' ability to travel into and around the bloc,

                                              "The Kremlin must see that continued aggression will deepen its isolation.

                                              I ask you to take these proposals forward as an urgent priority,"
                                              writes Valtonen, as EU foreign ministers meet in Luxembourg.

                                              The first demand is to "stop issuing Schengen visas to Russian nationals for non-essential travel,
                                              including tourism."

                                              Finland has placed national restrictions since 2022, she said, but several countries
                                              — notably France, Spain, and Italy
                                              — have opposed attempts to ban Russian tourist visas.

                                              Valtonen writes that she would support a German proposal "for visas with limited territorial validity," but only as an interim measure.

                                              While attending the one room school house on the rez he got to be friends with my mother's family.
                                              She went off to Indian Boarding School and he to Alaska until they were adults. They were pen pals for years.
                                              He left his world for hers because she wouldn't fit in his.
                                              He had to stick out like a sore thumb living on the reservation.
                                              They moved to town before I was born.
                                              This photo is my mother's uncles on each side of my dad.
                                              It isn't lost on me that ICE would stop my family because of their skin color these days.
                                              Things haven't changed so much.
                                              Unfortunately.

                                                My father's family was from a mix of European countries. Their history here in the US dated back to the revolutionary war and fought on both sides of the civil war.
                                                They came west on the Oregon Trail.
                                                I know I have a gazillion relatives on his side.
                                                My sister used to go to massive family reunions in Kentucky.

                                                              So far I've assumed that all crocheters hold the yarn with the hand opposite of the one holding the hook - hook in right hand, yarn on left hand and vice versa

                                                              A few days ago I saw someone in a YouTube video holding both hook and yarn in the right hand. It took me a while to realize what was going on (not a tutorial, just casually crocheting while talking so the hands were only partially visible)

                                                              Is this actually something a lot of crocheters do? @crochet

                                                                            "Hi. We have a FreeBSD server. It's been working perfectly for years, but it hasn't been updated since then. We asked AI to update it, but now it won't boot anymore. It didn't even make a backup before starting. The AI keeps trying things, everything is down, and we've already spent over €500 in tokens. Can you help us?"

                                                                            "Sure. €500, plus the time it'll take me to try to fix it. Assuming it can still be fixed and nothing important has been deleted."

                                                                                                                                                          I plan to visit Mum this morning as I didn't see her last week, and I had a confused sounding voicemail from her when I was in the shop yesterday.

                                                                                                                                                          Not much planned for the afternoon, although there's a big pile of ironing that needs tackling.

I’ll have to buckle down and do some housecleaning. Maybe by then our morning showers will have moved on and I take a walk.

I’m back, tired and have so much processing to do. What an amazing couple of days we had with Session Days, and four models in different set ups each day; I’ll post some photos later - maybe in a day or so - when I’ve had a good look and worked through them. Will be doing it all again next year sometime, when they return with different models & set-ups.
                                                                                                                                                                            Hope you had a good weekend. 💖

Fra queste una canzone sefardita che avevano raccolto a Turchia (forse sbaglio e hanno detto la Tunisia) e che versa su un rabbino che va a fare la spessa per la moglie (libera interpretazione: no fatemi troppo caso, che il mio Esperanto è ancora molto rudimentale).

Ma è molto facile da imparare perché non ci sono irregolarità e perché la costruzione di parole è straordinariamente logica.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              Io faccio una attività con i miei studenti al liceo: facciamo gruppi di quattro alunni, gli do un piccolo testo (tre paragrafi) in interlingua senza dirgli di ché lingua si tratti, gli chiedo di lavorare in gruppo e tradurlo al catalano; poi, i gruppi leggono le traduzione ad alta voce e i dubbi degli uni si risolvono con le proposte degli altri. Alla fine, io devo aggiungere al massimo tre o quattro parole, ma loro hanno capito il senso del testo e le idee principali. (Questo serve a fargli perdere la paura alle lingue «sconosciute», fra altre cose.)

                                                                                                                                                                                                              Dopo, gli chiedo di ché lingua si tratti, nella loro opinione (per fargli riflettere prima bisogna stuzzicare la loro curiosità). Poi gli spiego che si tratta di una lingua artificiale (noi, linguisti, preferiamo il termine «pianificata») che fu elaborata partendo dalle lingue romaniche e con certe caratteristiche anglogermaniche. Gli parlo un po' della storia delle lingue artificiali, di quelle fatte per gioco (aggiungere una sipallapabapa "pa" dopo la sillaba di ogni parola, come facevamo da piccoli), o per essere usate in mondi di finzione (alto elfico, klingon, dozraki), e continuiamo a parlare su quelle che hanno una finalità «pratica» (volapuk, esperanto, ido, interlingua) e quale sia la loro situazione attuale.

But a tiny fraction is re-emitted as fluorescence at red and far-red wavelengths between 640 and 800 nm.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                Drought, the availability of nutrients and pests affect photosynthesis and the machinery controlling absorbed light and fluorescence.

Using cutting-edge technology, ESA’s FLEX mission is designed to reveal new insights into how plants function by measuring the faint fluorescence they emit during photosynthesis. Although invisible to the human eye, this signal changes with environmental conditions and plant health – allowing scientists to assess vegetation health, and stress. The FLEX satellite is equipped with the Fluorescence Imaging Spectrometer (FLORIS), an instrument designed specifically to detect and map this delicate glow from space. The image depicts FLEX in action where the red–orange colours represent the FLORIS instrument receiving a high fluorescence signal and the green–blues a low signal.

Just above the centre of the image, the broad, flat expanse of the Po Valley – Italy’s agricultural heartland – stands out in shades of brown and green. Just to the north, the snow-capped Alps form a dramatic contrast with the lowlands, their bright peaks clearly visible against the surrounding landscape. Across the rest of Italy, variations in green and brown reflect differences in vegetation, agriculture and other types of land cover.

To the east, the deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea separate Italy from the Balkan Peninsula, which is partially visible in the image. Noticeable variations in sea colour can be seen along Italy’s eastern coastline, where lighter blue waters hug the shore. These brighter tones are likely caused by sediment carried into the sea by rivers and transported along the coast.

On Italy’s western side, the dark waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea surround the islands of Sardinia and Sicily, which are clearly visible, while Corsica is largely obscured by cloud. Together, the contrasting colours of the land, snow-covered mountains and surrounding seas provide a vivid view of Italy’s diverse landscape from space.

U.S. Forces Disable Cargo Vessel Attempting to Violate Blockade 

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces disabled a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman, Oct. 10, after the ship’s crew ignored repeated warnings and attempted to run the ongoing naval blockade against Iran.
 
A U.S. military fighter jet struck the stern of Panama-flagged M/V Ocean Molica (also known as the “Arika Sun”) with a precision munition, fully disabling the ship’s propulsion without harming the crew. The large cargo vessel was attempting to transit regional waters after having previously departed an Iranian port.
 
CENTCOM forces resumed America’s blockade against all ships entering or departing Iranian ports on July 14. Four commercial vessels have been disabled and 135 ships have been turned around during three months of strict enforcement. Additionally, U.S. forces have destroyed 10 tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' multibillion-dollar shadow network over the same period.
 
All mariners are advised to heed blockade warnings from CENTCOM forces. Crews should also continue to monitor Notice to Mariners broadcasts and contact U.S. naval forces on bridge-to-bridge channel 16 when operating in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz approaches.
