... But a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that the detention centre can remain open while a Trump administration appeal of the shutdown order is being heard.

The majority ruled that the project — which has been funded by the state of Florida — did not trigger the kind of environmental review needed for federally funded construction projects.

Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit arguing that the facility threatens the sensitive Everglades wetlands ecosystem and was hastily built without the legally required environmental impact studies. ...

It started with smaller dots and black areas in her eye ~2 years ago:

Since then we took her to the doctor many times to make sure she is okay. He told us that its all right, simply she has more pigments in here eyes, and its okay as long as there are no fluids.

Over time a lot of black areas started appearing in her eyes, and I started nagging the doctor. He still said that its just pigments, but if we wanted to be sure, we should take her to a detailed eye examination.

When we noticed that her pupils got deformed, and didn't respond to light like her healthy one we immediatelly took her to an eye examination, and they told us she has a high possibility for diffuse iris melanoma, which can spread to parts of her belly and lungs. They also told us, there is a chance that there is nothing wrong, but there is no way to make sure. They can try to get some fluids from her eye, but that doesn't give an accurate representation.

We decided to have her eye removed, because we think its better to have 0 chance for diffuse iris melanoma and it spreading than anything more than 0. Especially in this case where its very likely. As far as I understood even if we knew this sooner there weren't anything we could do.

This was a very hard decision for us, having such a radical surgery on our first cat feels depressing, and the chance that we do this for nothing makes things even harder. We saw on the internet that one eyed cats gets used to the new situation quickly, but that doesn't fully reassure us.

I'd like to ask you to share your experience with cats you know that had diffuse iris melanoma, or one eyed kittens. We would like to make sure she feels loved and can live a full life after this. Thanks in advance! Make sure you check your cats health regularly.

Hey everyone! We're moving to Piefed.social! You can find the comm at

!NonCredibleDefense@piefed.social

(this link might work if you're on Fedia) !noncredibledefense@piefed.social

Hope to see everyone there!

Feed for all migrated comms here: https://piefed.social/f/pugmigration

Will I need to change my account to participate?

Nope! Piefed is compatible with Lemmy instances, so you can keep using your current account! All you have to do is hit 'unsubscribe' on NCD on Lemmy.world, and hit 'subscribe' on NCD on Piefed.social

After that, just participate as you normally would!

Why move the comm?

Nothing in particular against Lemmy.world - the admins here have made some amateurish mistakes, but I'm willing to accept that we're all human and running a big instance is not easy, especially for a volunteer team. The issue is with the Lemmy devs.

There's been long-standing tension with the Lemmy devs - namely, that they use their influence over their flagship instance - .ml - to enforce the removal of acknowledgements of incidents of genocide and imperialism that they like. If you're morbidly curious, !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works documents this, with things like acknowledgement of the Holodomor or refutation of the claim that Ukraine deserves to be genocided by modern Russia being removed by dev/admin fiat.

This places users who are not genocide deniers or supporters in an awkward position - namely, that either we refrain from contributing to the devs - damaging the longevity of the platform we're using - or that we contribute to them despite their horrific views - enabling them to continue spreading and creating a space for genocide denial.

With that in mind (and I was a Kbin user initially precisely because of my discomfort with the Lemmy devs - I hope Ernest is okay, wherever he is), I've been keeping an eye out for a viable Lemmy Fediverse alternative for a while now. Piefed's main dev has a good head on his shoulders, and it appears to be a robust platform. I think Piefed is ready, and I'm just medicated enough at the moment to make the effort of revving up the comms from scratch and writing up this screed.

Why Piefed.social specifically?

A good question. I considered Piefed.world, as the organization .world belongs to is larger than Lemmy/Piefed and robust. Anarchist.nexus was right out, on account of it being an offshoot of dbzer0, whose admins have chosen to indulge in very concerning Uyghur genocide denial and tolerating Holodomor denial on its instance. Ultimately I decided to give Piefed.social a chance on account of a coherent core mission statement in favor of democracy and rational discourse.

What will happen to this comm?

Well, I won't be participating in it anymore except to remind people of the move, and hopefully most users will follow suit and join the Piefed.social community. I'll stick around to remove spam, but that's about it.

Im currently running bazzite, but the flickering has also happened on OpenSUSE

Im running the games via Heroic and Steam, both installed via normal packages (no flatpak)

Running via Proton-GE latest (10-10 at this point)

Running on a 1080p 144hz monitor connected with displayport

I have a ryzen 5 5600x, rtx 3060ti

I will try using a Gsync Monitor, but if anyone has any idea I'm open for it

Edit: Thanks to everyone, changing the Monitor did the Trick. I had a MSI MAG271CR, which already has had problems randomly disconnecting from Linux, and not showing a picture again until I did some shinanigans changing the resolutions

I changed my Main Monitor to a (Gsync compatible) Acer XB270H A, and it has none of these problems

Almost to the day, a year ago I was in the market for a new mouse and I searched for "鼠标" (computer mouse) on Taobao. On each page (of 100: the max it will return) of 48 results, at least 30-40 results would be "AI" mice.

Compare and contrast with today:

Screen shot of search on 鼠标

Maybe I'm blind but I'm not seeing a single "AI" mouse there. Just to be sure, I searched specifically for "AI鼠标" (AI computer mouse):

Screen shot of search on AI鼠标

Sure enough there's plenty (maxing out the search results again!) listings for AI mice.

But AI mice are no longer the default they were last year at this time. The world's largest market has decided that AI is no longer That Thing That Will Be Everywhere.

(Also of interest is that almost all the AI mice are linked to Deepseek now, instead of ChatGPT as they were last year.)

Construction work has intensified on a major new structure at a facility linked to Israel’s long-suspected atomic weapons programme, according to satellite images analysed by experts.

They say it could be a new reactor or a facility to assemble nuclear arms — but secrecy shrouding the programme makes it difficult to know for sure.

The work at the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center near the city of Dimona will renew questions about Israel’s widely believed status as the Mideast’s only nuclear-armed state.

It could also draw international criticism, especially since it comes after Israel and the United States bombed nuclear sites across Iran in June over their fears that Tehran could use its enrichment facilities to pursue an atomic weapon.

Kyiv sees a well-equipped army as a stronger deterrent to Moscow than any Western pledges to defend it. It is working to attract billions to buy more arms.

#Google has come under intense criticism after signing a $45M contract with the Israeli PM’s Office in June 2025 to run a digital #advertising campaign on #YouTube & #Display & #Video360, aimed at promoting official Israeli #propaganda during military operations in #Gaza.
One of the key ads featured a video by the Israeli Ministry of MFA falsely claiming that there is food in Gaza, which garnered over 6M views through paid promotions #Genocide #Staevation #Profiteers #BDS
