Single-board computers (SBC) developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation are designed for low-energy projects and affordable custom computing devices, but there is always room for improvement on the software side. The Linux kernel, used by most Raspberry Pi-compatible operating systems including the official Raspberry Pi OS, was recently updated with two patches designed to enhance functionality.

Japan wins 2-year “war on floppy disks,” kills regulations requiring old tech

But what about fax machines?
Per a Reuters report on Wednesday, Japan’s government “eliminated the use of floppy disks in all its systems.” The report notes that by mid-June, Japan’s Digital Agency (a body set up during the COVID-19 pandemic and aimed at updating government technology) had “scrapped all 1,034 regulations governing their use, except for one environmental stricture related to vehicle recycling.” That suggests that there’s up to one government use that could still turn to floppy disks, though more details weren’t available.

A Bugatti car, a first lady and the fake stories aimed at Americans
A network of Russia-based websites masquerading as local American newspapers is pumping out fake stories as part of an AI-powered operation that is increasingly targeting the US election, a BBC investigation can reveal.
A former Florida police officer who relocated to Moscow is one of the key figures behind it.
The following would have been a bombshell report – if it were true.

Appeals court rules students can sue U.S. over ICE’s fake university
Teja Ravi said in a lawsuit that he spent $12,500 in tuition for what he thought was a Michigan university. It was a fake school set up by ICE, and he never was repaid, he said. The fictional University of Farmington, part of an undercover operation, came to light publicly in 2019 when eight people were indicted in Michigan on counts of visa fraud and “harboring aliens for profit.”

A New Documentary Goes Behind the Scenes of Christian Nationalism
“Bad Faith” traces the origins of January 6 back to the Moral Majority of the 1980s.
The new documentary Bad Faith, directed by Stephen Ujlaki and Christopher Jacob Jones, begins with footage familiar to many Americans: an army of insurrectionists adorned in stars, stripes, and military gear storming the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 election results. It was a watershed moment that left many Americans wondering how we got here. Bad Faith seeks to help answer that question by looking at a crucial reason why American democracy ended up at a precipice: the rise of Christian nationalism. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/bad-faith-christian-nationalism-documentary/

Some ex-DOJ officials who worked for Trump fear the Supreme Court just made it easy for him to use the DOJ to attack foes “It sets him up to do the things he has said, to investigate people and send them to jail,” said one ex-official.

Countdown to Trump comparing himself to Jesus being crucified…

In case Mormons think they are safe from Christian nationalism, they should think again. The president of the Claremont Institute, a Project 2025 partner, belongs to a secretive society of Christian men that bans not only Jews & Muslims, but also Mormons.

Steve Bannon boasts that the Heritage Foundation (the lead organizer of Project 2025) is the “Revolutionary Guard … for MAGA.” He’s speaking w/ Project 2025 director Paul Dans.

 Matar judíos

In the Spanish town of León, locals toast Easter with a ‘Kill Jews’ cocktail
In León, Spain, locals enjoy “limonada” during Holy Week, uttering “Kill Jews” cheerfully – a tradition rooted in historical events.

Matar judíos (lit. ‘killing Jews’) is a tradition during Holy Week celebrations in the northern Spanish Province of León, especially in the city of León and its environs, during which participants drink Leonese lemonade, consisting primarily of lemonade, red wine, and sugars.

June 23, 2015 – The small Spanish town of Castrillo Mota de Judios recently changed its name from Castrillo Matajudios, or “Fort Kill the Jews.” The town approved the name change at the end of 2014

THE ROLE OF THE CARIBBEAN PIRATES IN AMERICA

England, France, Spain and Holland, masters of the world (1600-1700)​
While some Jews took up piracy in part to help make a better life for expelled Spanish Jews, others were motivated by revenge against the Spanish Inquisition.
It’s a largely untold story of tragedy and triumph for a group who resisted forced conversion by the hypocritical Spanish Inquisition who tortured in the name of Jesus.  This group of Jewish pirates scattered throughout parts of Europe, Africa, and the New World. Several went on to play very important roles in history, especially the daring Lafitte Brothers.

UNTOLD STORY OF JEWISH PIRATES-LAFITTES
Facing torture and death in Spain, then Portugal, then in much of the New World, Jews were forced to emigrate over and over. Living under the strict anti-Semitic laws in Europe and the American Colonies meant Jews often had to look outside of normal society to find work. Piracy and privateering allowed them to win favor with (and therefore protection from) powerful government officials, seek out new lands to which they could emigrate, and prosper financially despite their situation.

Anti Semitic Evangelical GQP in Bucks County, PA

 

Christian Nationalism GQP in PA Bucks County is trying to edit history for the benefit of white supremacy.

This is what happens when part of your school board participated in J6.

Removing a quote from a Holocaust survivor is tantamount to erasing the Holocaust. A librarian is not permitted to display a quote from an 9th grade textbook that is part of the curriculum.

Bucks CountyBeacon @BucksCoBeacon reports

@CBSDSchools forced a librarian to remove a quote from his door by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel: “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” BC of Policy 321 this isn’t considered fair & balanced. Nazis may be offended.

They want to be fair to the “oppressor” and the “tormentor?” Meaning the Nazis of course. The timing of this, 2 days before Holocaust Remembrance Day, is chilling and telling. So, is this the “culling” Superindent Lucabaugh is talking about?

Listen to ULTRA by @maddow
The nazis infected us at the highest levels. Never say never, it can happen again. This time it’s christo-fascist white nationalists. Banning books, whitewashing history or erasing it all together, and injecting religion into our school curriculums. Vote them out . Call the school and administration office today, flood the phones and email the board ?! They’re preparing for a new Holocaust by pre-emptively silencing anyone who’d speak against it.

Central Bucks residents please be aware that the CDSDS board has proposed a severely gerrymandered district map that would make it near impossible to vote the GQP out.

We Don’t Need Opinions in a Newspaper.

I only want hard cold facts.

Doug Mastriano Prayed for MAGA to ‘Seize the Power’ Ahead of Jan. 6

“Caught on Tape: Doug Mastriano Prayed for MAGA to ‘Seize the Power’ Ahead of Jan. 6” “The content of & context of Mastriano’s participation on the call gives lie to his protestations that he’s neither affiliated with NAR nor a Christian Nationalist.” 1/

Full clip Rolling Stone

In a Dec. 2020 meeting with Christian Nationalists, the man who would become the GOP PA nominee for governor prayed Congress would “disregard” Pennsylvania’s election results.

“God I ask you that you help us roll in these dark times, that we fear not the darkness, that we will seize our Esther and Gideon moments,” the man said, invoking a pair of Old Testament heroes who made themselves instruments of God’s vengeance. “We’re surrounded by wickedness and fear, and dithering, and inaction,” he added, “But that’s not our problem. Our problem is following Your lead.” Looking ahead to Jan 6, the man said: “I pray that… we’ll seize the power that we had given to us by the Constitution, and as well by You, providentially. I pray for the leaders also in the federal government, God, on the Sixth of January that they will rise up with boldness.”

Trump’s army of God: Doug Mastriano and the Christian nationalist attack on democracy

Pennsylvania lawmaker is a Christian zealot, an academic fraud and an insurrectionist. He’s the tip of the iceberg

Christian nationalism … draws its roots from “Old Testament” parallels between America and Israel, who was commanded to maintain cultural and blood purity, often through war, conquest, and separatism.

the New Apostolic Reformation — could be more clearly defined, and doing that can shed light on Christian nationalism’s lesser-known, but more nefarious fellow-traveler, Dominionism — a creed that adds two more elements: a belief in “biblical law,” as adherents define it, and the religious supremacy of their version of Christianity.

These people are fascists
