I got a DM from a brand new user created on lemm.ee that is using my username. The DM came through at 3 minutes and 10 seconds of the account being created.

All my local junkyards accept e-waste but they bounce anyone who shows up with a screwdriver. Once a machine is dumped, it becomes the property of the junkyard who sees repairers who remove stuff as a threat to their bottom line, which comes from the melt value of the metals. I cannot even pay for the parts even if I wanted. I have been kicked out of junkyards enough times that the whole staff recognises me now. It’s really fucked up that the shitty melt value of the metals is prioritised above consumers will to repair.

The disposal chain goes like this:

1. consumer dumps appliance waste (sometimes straight to the dump, sometimes to an org in step 2)
2. some org that decides if the thing is broken or not
3. if it works → goes to a charity to resell
4. if reparable → goes to a charity to fix and resell
5. if “non-repairable” → broken down for proper disposal

That last step uses scare quotes because they are piled under such an unsurmountable stock pile of disposed appliances that only trivially repairable things get repaired. Countless things that are either repairable or good for parts get destroyed. I suspect there is a blanket assumption that inkjet printers are never regarded as repairable.

The idea of repurposing is completely absent from this process. E.g. they would never remove a broken LCD panel from a flat screen device and use it to make a lightbox / table for a stained glass artist or photographer who looks at slides.

Step 5 needs a mod. Everything not put through the charity should go to a weather-protected staging area where the general public can walk through and take what they want. Every item should be there for at least a week or two before breakdown.

Freeloaders might use such a mechanism to grab things with a high melt value. But I’m not sure a petition to the city needs to address that -- it’s the city’s problem to solve.

Cardinals are appointed by the Bishop of Rome and they are, technically, Roman clergy. They obtain titular churches in the diocese of Rome, or titular dioceses in the suburbs of Rome. The case of Cardinal Patriarchs is a little different, but you can see their close association with the Roman Pontiff by their arms, which bears the tiara. It was, in antiquity, the job of the Roman clergy to elect a Bishop of Rome. That’s what they do today. NB: Not all the clergy of Rome vote, but only the designated “hinge-men” who are electors (“cardinal” comes from the Latin word for “hinge”, cardo).

If Francis was at the very least only the Bishop of Rome all these years, he could create cardinals. The College of Cardinals (divided into three orders of bishop, priest and deacon) don’t have to be consecrated as bishops. They usually are now, but not necessarily. This distinguishes the College of Cardinals from the College of Bishops, which seems more strictly related to the Successor of Peter as Vicar of Christ rather than Successor of Peter as Bishop of Rome.

Moreover, while examples don’t immediately spring to mind as I type, I believe there were cardinals created by antipopes who were later accepted as cardinals who could vote for a legitimate Pope (again, “Pope” being a complicated office that comprises Vicar of Christ and Bishop of Rome – and for a long time now the head of a state – in one person who is Successor of Peter).

All of this is to argue that, like Francis or not, think we wasn’t the legitimate POPE or that he was, it is pretty clear that he could rightly name cardinals.

It is precisely the role of cardinals to elect popes.

Ergo, we don’t have to worry about the legitimacy of the Electors.

“Numerous signs of torture and ill-treatment were found on the victim’s body, including abrasions and hemorrhages on various parts of the body, a broken rib, neck injuries, and possible electric shock marks on the feet. However, due to the condition of the body, experts have not yet been able to establish the cause of death." Yuriy Belousov, the head of the War Crimes Unit at the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office, described the results of the forensic medical examination to us.

The body was missing some organs: the eyeballs, the brain, part of the larynx, and the hyoid bone was broken, said a source close to the investigation into Viktoriia Roshchyna’s death. It was launched by the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine in March 2025.

A forensic expert, who requested anonymity, suggested in a conversation with journalists that the removal of specific organs could be an attempt to conceal strangulation: “Removing the larynx during an autopsy is not standard practice. The larynx can be good evidence of strangulation. When a person is strangled, the hyoid bone is most often broken. In cases of strangulation, bleeding can be found in the whites of the eyes, and a lack of oxygen in the brain.”

A person is abducted [in by Russia occupied territories of Ukraine] by people without insignia, they do not identify themselves, do not present any documents, and do not explain anything to relatives. The person simply disappears. No one “knows” about them in the military commandant’s offices, the prosecutor’s office, the police, or the investigative committee. Sometimes, the local police even opens a “missing person” case.

It is unknown who exactly detained Viktoriia. Sevgil Musayeva recalls that in conversations with the journalist, she mentioned that she was trying to establish the identities of FSB officers involved in the abduction and torture of Ukrainians in Enerhodar.

[...]

“She arrived [in the detention center] already pumped full of some unknown medications,” says another former detainee who was held with Vika in the Taganrog pre-trial detention center. “At some point, she stopped eating. Her cellmates started telling the guards and the prison staff — that she’d stopped eating, that something needed to be done. They didn’t give a damn until her condition got seriously bad.”

[...]

But even in this state [of poor health], she maintained her courage. Yevgeny Markevich, a prisoner of war who was held in a cell next to Roshchyna’s in [the detention center of] Taganrog, heard her talking to the guards.

She told the prison guards right to their faces: “You are occupiers, you came to our country, you are killing our people... I will never cooperate with you!” She was probably saved by the fact that she was a woman. If I had said something like that, they would’ve killed me on the spot.

[...]

Ukrainian prisoners call Taganrog Detention Center No. 2 (SIZO-2), where Viktoriia ended up, hell on Earth. “Even the term ‘concentration camp’ would be too mild for SIZO-2,” said one of the prisoners.

Recently in Spain we have suffered a complete power outage, with no electricity for a long time. Some were able to have power on their computers with generators, solar panels, etc. And I know you can have data connectivity with SDR or HAM radio. But my question here is, what are some good self-host/local offline software that we can have and use for when something like this happens. I know kiwix, and some other for manuals. Please feel free to share the ones you know and love, can be for any type of thing as long as it works completely offline, just name it. Of course for GNU/Linux (using Arch myself BTW). Thanks in advance.

AI Summary:
Berlin's Neutralitätsgesetz prohibits public employees from wearing visible religious symbols while on duty. The proposal has thrust Berlin into a larger European conversation about the intersection of secularism, religious freedom, and workplace neutrality. In a divided Europe, national identities, historical experiences, and political priorities deeply influence how societies respond to religious expression in public life. Belgium: Security and cohesion over visibility Belgium has implemented some of Europe’s strictest measures regarding face coverings. In 2011, it became the second country after France to ban full-face veils in public, justifying the move on the grounds of public safety and social integration. The European Court of Human Rights upheld the ban in 2017, ruling that it aligned with broader principles of gender equality and public order. ADVERTISEMENT Netherlands: Partial restrictions in key institutions In the Netherlands, a 2019 law restricts face coverings in specific public settings. It reflects a growing inclination toward regulating religious expression in state spaces. Italy: A law from another era Italy does not have a specific ban on religious dress. ADVERTISEMENT US President Donald Trump has marked the first 100 days of his second administration by attacking judges he says are standing in his way. The 78-year-old, whose approval ratings have fallen significantly in recent weeks, focused heavily on immigration. Trump promised supporters that his administration had “just gotten started”. Despite Trump’s claim to have had “the most successful 100 days of any administration in the history of our country”, polls suggest that only about 4 in 10 Americans approve of how he is handling the presidency. The US public also has concerns about Trump's immigration policies, with roughly half saying he has “gone too far” over deportations.

Background

Greece and the EU are considered among the most attractive destinations for foreign investment in the world, attracting billions in investments from non-EU countries each year. While such investments are key to maintaining a strong economy and job market, some investments may pose a risk to the security or public order of EU member states or the EU as a whole. Therefore, most EU member states have adopted national rules to screen foreign direct investments in sensitive areas. Until now, Greece has been an exception, being one of only four EU member states without an operational national Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) screening regime.

Now, a draft law published by the Greek government for consultation on 2 April 2025 seeks to establish a framework for the screening and authorisation of FDI in Greece on grounds of security or public order. Accordingly, investments by foreign investors in sectors identified as sensitive or highly sensitive will need to be notified to the relevant Greek authority prior to their implementation.

Key takeaways

• As part of the EU’s Economic Security Strategy, the European Commission proposed updating the EU’s FDI Screening Regulation, to require that all EU member states adopt national FDI screening regimes
• Greece published its draft national FDI screening framework in April 2025, which will require that foreign investors file for pre-approval for acquisitions of 25% and above in targets active in sensitive sectors (including energy and transport) and 10% and above in targets active in highly sensitive sectors (including defence and cyber-security)
• The current proposal lacks turnover, asset value or transaction value thresholds (except for start-ups) and broadly defines foreign investors in highly sensitive sectors, making legal advice essential prior to any investments in these sectors in Greece
• Once the proposal is implemented, transactions concerned will require diligent preparation at an early stage to avoid delays and proactively manage potential FDI concerns, as well as to identify potential impact on transaction structure
• Parallel filings under merger control rules and the Foreign Subsidies Regulation may also be required, making a coordinated, streamlined and strategic approach essential

Want to know what the complaints contact is for Aldi Australia after having a negative discriminatory experience with one of the checkout staff at my local aldi bag checking my mother specifically but not the people in front of us because they had white skin

My mother noticed it and told her she didn't check the bags of the people in front but she lied and said she did even though we where right behind them and she didn't bother checking their bags
