Experts have slammed the “shamefully weak” COP30 draft text for failing to mention fossil fuels at all.

So for some time now i have been taking steam deck with me for my travels but i have always turned it off instead of putting it to sleep so battery wouldnt drop too quickly but i never checked if it would actually drop too quickly when i put it to sleep... Soo what now? Should i still power it down or would it be fine if i put it to sleep? Also forgot to add, battery precentage matters to me since i dont have always access to charger

The videos circulating on social media are brutal and terrifying — the often violent arrests, people pulled screaming from their cars, out of day care centers, away from their children and their spouses. What should give Americans equal pause is the inhumanity happening beyond the cameras, away from the view of judges and lawyers and the media. Due process is not a constitutional right afforded only to citizens; legal restrictions on unlawful detention apply to all people on U.S. soil.

The stories we were told call into question both the constitutionality and the morality of how the Trump administration is directing immigration policy. That immorality, once unleashed, may ultimately be aimed at others in this country, regardless of immigration status. If a woman returning from vacation with her young children can be suddenly removed from her family and her life, how can we believe that any of us will remain safe?

So, given AI is destroying YT, if you're any sort of a creator at all, even if you just have some random posts from years ago that you uploaded with no intention of getting popular, you really should move your stuff to PeerTube, ideally on a self-hosted instance if you have the hardware to spare, while you still can, because things are only going to get worse for YT.

Even Odysee is a decent alternative if you want more traction, but PeerTube is more ideal as an alternative platform due to having the ability to self-host an instance there and have complete control of your content and presence down to owning the infrastructure you're posting on.

Today's game is some more Halo (Mostly Reach). More? Yeah, we had some friends who weren't able too join last night so we did some more rounds today. It was fun. We got some friends who are new to Halo joining us too. I think though it may have been unbalanced (I've done all the campaigns on Legendary, they touched CE on Normal for maybe a few minutes?). We all had fun though which is what really matters here.

We played a round of infection in Reach, and damn. I love Reach, but the Shotguns in that game can sometimes feel a little ridiculous. I could get sniped from across the map with one by a friend and get my shit kicked in. Still, it resulted in some funny moments.

If you look at the cubby in the above screenshot, my friend also figured out that cubby is actually really broken in Infection, because he could just camp up there and wrack up kills from everyone trying to get him. It was funny, but when he got to 30 kills i had to stop my teammates and go "Okay, guy's, you're just feeding him kills". The issue was that they're all going at once and soaking up the Shells. What i had them do is instead sacrifice a teammate and then send someone up while he was mid shotgun cocking.

I ended up domination on Beaver Creek with a Sniper Rifle. I perched up there with a Armor Lock. What that did was allow me to tank really any power weapons or grenades thrown my way.

I ended up meeting my end though when i jumped down into the river and got cocky, and was quickly humbled with a stray grenade that took me out.

I did get a sick ass grenade kill though against a friend who took cover on one of those cubbies. I'm pretty sure they're literally only there for this reason (which, if that's the case, it's great level design), but still. It was a satisfying kill.

The final match we did was another Slayer. This one was a bit more balanced, especially since one of our players couldn't get his controller to work and had to play with Mouse and Keyboard. Not much happened, but the final kill of the round was satisfying. I lobbed a grenade and took both me and another player out. We both got flung into the barrier which was hilarious to me.

We also did a bit of Halo 3 (The Mixin' It Up playlist to be specific), and it was fun. We were looking for the Moa statues or whatever. Looking at Wort.gg i only have Wheels, Wheels, and More Wheels and LASO Campaign left to do, so i'm kind of tempted to finish these up myself. Me and a friend have been wanting to do LASO together, but it takes so long and is damn near impossible with the time we have, so this might be a fair way to handle it. Then me and him can go back and do it together. This i think is a "Later" kind of thing though, i'm already balancing AC3. I probably shouldn't add more too my plate.

Based on a recent post now deleted from !privacy@lemmy.ml, which was itself based on this article, it sounds like there's some misunderstandings and misconceptions about how Wifi Positioning (WPS) works, and how to mitigate it to the best of one's ability.

First off, Apple and Google are the primary culprits here. Every time someone who has not adjusted their settings on their phone and has location data on connects to a wireless access point of any kind, Apple and Google collect that data and location data.

This is 100% different than wardrivers, who go around scanning and mapping SSIDs and BSSIDs.

After research from the University of Maryland showed how deep the WPS database goes, they suggested the following ways to mitigate having your wifi mapped:

-Rename your network to end with _nomap, so like "FBISurveilanceVan_nomap" would be how to do that. Larger WPS operators honor it as an opt‑out because these are automated systems. This cuts you out of many crowdsourced location DBs. This is not foolproof, but it will handle 99.9% of any use cases from anyone here.

-> This doesn't prevent wardrivers from indexing your wifi. This prevents your Mother in Law or cousin that has their iPhone or Android phone with all the original settings and bloatware from letting either company index you by using the location data on their phones.

Next...

-Turn off SSID broadcast if you can. This cuts down on lazy wardrivers scanning unhidden SSIDs.

-Change the name of your SSID and router's MAC/BSSID regularly.

-> This doesn't prevent sophisticated wardrivers from indexing your wifi. It prevents lazy ones from indexing it, as well as any personal devices that index wifi signals based on simply seeing the broadcast SSID, which is a thing.

If you plan on hosting family for the holidays, now is a great time to do this.

This NOT a 100% invisible wifi network solution. This is a "best as we can get" solution. If you want truly invisible internet connections, get shielded RJ45 cable like you live in a radio blackout zone.

How to check if your wifi has been indexed? https://wigle.net/ is a good starting point. I've never had a wifi network appear on there, so apparently I'm doing something right.

Os socialistas defendem que "o 25 de Novembro foi uma vitória da esquerda democrática de Abril, militar e civil, e de todos os que se aliaram para derrotar a deriva radical e sectária que ameaçava o processo democrático, com destaque para o chamado Grupo dos Nove no seio do MFA e sob a liderança de Mário Soares e do PS nas ruas e nas praças do nosso país". Foi essa mesma ideia que defenderam na intervenção do ano passado na sessão evocativa do 25 e Novembro na Assembleia da República.
