Please note I have included a link from the article that has graphic video and images.

Police in New York City are searching for a suspect they say set a man on fire in Times Square shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday morning near West 41st Street and 7th Avenue.

Officers spotted the 45-year-old victim and extinguished the flames. He was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition, police said.

Law enforcement officials declined to comment further, saying the case remains under investigation.

Video and images from the scene show the victim walking along the sidewalk shirtless and accompanied by firefighters after the flames were put out. Footage of the man being treated in an ambulance showed burns to his face, neck, chest and arms.

Donald Trump's former ambassador to the European Union says nothing should be off the table when it comes to Canada-U.S. trade discussions and that the U.S. president wants immediate change on his irritants like dairy and auto manufacturing.

"You cannot have fair and multilateral trade by someone saying that something is not up for grabs," Gordon Sondland said in an interview on Rosemary Barton Live on Sunday. "Everything is up for grabs. Everything."

Sondland referred to Canada's supply management system — a national policy framework meant to ensure predictable and stable prices by guaranteeing supply-managed dairy farmers a minimum price for their products. Trump has railed against the system for years.

Upgraded my instance from 0.19.3 to 0.19.9 today, and fetching metadata for Youtube videos no longer works. Worked perfectly on 0.19.3 as of 3 hours ago (pre-upgrade).

This is how it's supposed to look:

Good job, lemmy devs! 👍

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will bring a vote to the government this week to dismiss the director of the Shin Bet internal security service, Ronen Bar.

Netanyahu said Sunday he has had “ongoing distrust” with Bar. The decision comes after an increasingly acrimonious dispute between the men focused largely on who bears responsibility for the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack that sparked the war in Gaza.

The Shin Bet is responsible for monitoring Palestinian militant groups. It recently issued a report accepting responsibility for its failures around the Oct. 7 attack. But it also criticized Netanyahu, saying failed government policies helped create the climate that led to the attack.

The tensions boiled over this weekend when Bar’s predecessor, Nadav Argaman, said he would release sensitive information about Netanyahu if it is found that the prime minister had broken the law. Netanyahu accused Argaman of blackmail and filed a police complaint.

v2.8, v2.9, v2.10 were all released recently after a few months hiatus (v2.7 was in Oct).

Most of the changes were bug fixes but v2.8 had new features too:

• New visibility mode: Intelligent Auto Hide (aka Intellihide / Dodge Windows): in this mode, the dock only hides itself when there's a window covering it or there's a maximized window.
• Supports LXQt (KWin) on Wayland: including special menu entries (e.g. Log Out), specific default launchers, setting wallpapers and separate config.
• Task icon: Allow cycling backwards through window applications with CTRL: so left-clicking cycles forwards and CTRL + left-clicking cycles backwards.

Crystal Dock is a cool dock (desktop panel) for Linux desktop, with the focus on attractive user interface, being simple and easy to customize, and cross-desktop support.

The current version (version 2) supports KDE Plasma 6 and LXQt (KWin) on Wayland. Other desktop environments will be considered when they run on Wayland and provide sufficient APIs. The previous version (version 1) supports KDE Plasma 5, GNOME, LXQt, Cinnamon and MATE on X11.

Looking for the new Baldur’s Gate 3 subclasses? Although patch 8 has a host of content to be excited about, arguably the most important is the 12 new subclasses. Below, we have a thorough breakdown of all 12 new subclasses in Baldur’s Gate 3, their associated abilities, levels and more.

I've been trying for a few months to get rid of any stuff made out of EU (even before it was mainstream lol), and here are my conclusions at the moment:

Groceries: It's pretty easy. I try to go to local stores, but if I need to go to a supermarket, I go to Carrefour, Mercadona or Froiz, all european, and I've reached to the point that EVERYTHING I buy is european (mostly spanish, portuguese, french or italian).

Clothes: This has been tricky. To buy sneakers has been more dificult than I thought it would be. There are a lot of european brands that actually make it's products in China, Bangladesh, etc., so I had to look very close. Finally, I buyed Victoria sneakers and I'm very happy with them. For shoes and boots, Pikolinos is a very good brand also. Miguel Bellido shirts are very good as well.

Furniture: Well, Ikea is the obvious choice, but I do preffer to buy on spanish and portuguese stores that also have prety good quality for a good price, like Lufe.

Sports: Only sport that I play is climbing, and my last pair of climbing shoes are Tenaya Ra, and I couldn't be happier with them. La Sportiva has amazing products also, being italian and as far as I know, still manufacture in Italy.

Technology: Oh man, this is a pain... I don't want to throw away my iPhone 13 mini until it's done, but when the time comes, I don't know if there are going to be any alternatives. Fairphone, probably, but the components are also from China, right? And anyway, I will struggle with a big phone, which I hate. In PC I can move from Windows to Linux, but the mayority of the PC parts would be made in USA.

Good news is that the only USA page that I actually visit is Reddit, as I don't have Instagram, facebook or any other social media. Bad news is that it will be virtually impossible to leave Whatsapp.

Well, this is it, I guess that all of you are struggling with the same, being the technology the real issue, cause the rest is pretty easy to find alternatives even better.

My faith in Europe has risen since few months back, and I hope it's not too late for us to being able to compete in this new world that is emerging, where if you depend on any way on USA or China, you're lost.

A hug from Spain to all of you, european brothers. And sorry for my poor english.

Guten Abend,

ich bin komplett neu auf feddit und dem fediverse, also entschuldigt vorab meine Frage:

Wieso kann ich beispielsweise auf /c/buyfromEU keine Beiträge mehr sehen, wenn ich eingeloggt bin? Was habe ich falsch eingestellt? Sobald ich mich auslogge, kann ich alle neuen Beiträge sehen

Vielen Dank vorab!

What European email services do you use?

Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.

I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

In Deutschland sind erstmals Automaten als offizielle Postfilialen anerkannt worden. Man habe neun Zulassungen für automatisierte Stationen anstelle von Universaldienstfilialen erteilt, heißt es in einem Schreiben der Bundesnetzagentur an ihren Beirat, das der Deutschen Presse-Agentur vorliegt.
Es handelt sich um sogenannte Poststationen, in denen Pakete abgegeben und abgeholt sowie Briefmarken gekauft und Briefe eingeworfen werden können. Außerdem ist eine Videoberatung möglich. Solche Automaten gibt es zwar schon seit einigen Jahren, sie wurden bislang aber nicht als Filialen anerkannt - daher halfen sie der Post auch nichts zur Erfüllung ihrer Filialnetzpflicht. Das ändert sich nun.

Edit: from the comments it looks like Gerband is way superior to Tesa and also from Germany.

Sorry probably nothing for the pro’s on here but man, I am so excited to climb off of the macOS on this old MacBook Air 2015 and breathe new FOSS life into it.

My brother and father have been using Blender 3D for years and my sister got her first job as a designer using Inkscape!

So here’s to a “mint-y” fresh Linux MacBook Air! :-D

Lebensmittel enthalten zahlreiche Aromen, die unser Geschmackserlebnis prägen. Diese Aromen werden durch flüchtige Moleküle vermittelt, die wir beim Essen und Trinken über die Nase wahrnehmen. Dieser retronasale Effekt ermöglicht es uns, die komplexen Düfte von Speisen und Getränken zu erleben.

Aromen sind entscheidend für unseren Genuss, da sie uns helfen, Lebensmittel zu identifizieren und deren Qualität zu beurteilen. Selbst unangenehme Gerüche, wie bei verderblichen Lebensmitteln, warnen uns vor potenziellen Gefahren.

Extreme Beispiele wie Surströmming und Durian zeigen, dass selbst starke, unangenehme Gerüche durch Gewöhnung genießbar werden können. Diese Lebensmittel enthalten eine Vielzahl von Aromamolekülen, die ihre charakteristischen Düfte erzeugen.
