This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.

The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.

EXCLUSIVE: Apple and the EU are telling very different stories on Siri AI, and right now, it's a standoff.

Apple's press release and comments to @LelloucheNico say the DMA would force it to give rival assistants deep access to messages, files, photos, app actions, and personal context, creating privacy/security risks.

I reached out to the EU Commission for comment, and they discussed it today (video below).

They said nothing in the DMA blocks Siri AI. Apple can launch it if it complies, but it must give rivals "equivalent access" and can’t use iOS to favour its own AI.

Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent” and an 18-month rollout to ensure only approved third-party agents could run. The Commission says they weren't "DMA-compliant interoperability proposals."

Whatever that means.

This is a standoff over who controls the AI layer on iPhone. The EU isn’t protecting user choice here. It’s trying to regulate the iPhone’s AI layer, and EU users are the ones losing out.

iPhone users can already download ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity. Apps like @poppysimplified can use your Mac to get system-level access for AI assistant apps.

The EU is demanding default, system-level access for any third-party app that claims to be an AI assistant. Which is dangerous, especially given Apple's privacy-focused AI stance. Apple, respectably, is not bowing down.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian man says he shot US Black Hawk helicopter during the search & rescue mission for the F-15 pilot:

"I saw two helicopters coming from the other side of the village. I armed myself to shoot. I aimed 2 shots at the window where the pilot was visible. I fired 2 more shots. To make the payload explode, I fired 4 shots at this one."

“We, as journalists in Lebanon, will honor their memory by continuing to work today and tomorrow and every day until the Israeli army is out of South Lebanon,” said Courtney Bonneau @cbonneauimages, VPol Contributor and photojournalist, after the IOF assassinated Lebanese journalists Ali Choieb and Fatima Ftouni, as well as photojournalist Mohammad Ftouni today.

￭ Ali Choieb, veteran resistance journalist with Al Manar, and Fatima Ftouni, correspondent to southern Lebanon for Al Mayadeen, were assassinated in a deliberately targeted Israeli drone strike on several press vehicles in Jezzine, southern Lebanon while fulfilling their professional duties.

￭ “Today, while documenting these war crimes and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, they became victims of a war crime themselves.”

@CalumDouglas1 From this text, to me it seems you had actually two ways to make C2 base material (DHD), one was to use black coal and the other is to use other material but at the expense of yields. The composition table (cv2 / cv2a) also suggest there were min two types of process (150/180 C*)

[Kurfürst @Kurfurst4]

@ErikLindy @CalumDouglas1 Are you sure of this? Why would anyone make margarine, which is plant based fat essentially and thus readily available, from coal instead?

[Kurfürst @Kurfurst4]

@BBCNews Right. The entire country is so intimidated they have elected the same guy 1+4 terms already, and will probably reelect him for the 6th term. You are in panic and damage control mode and try to invalidate the vote in advance, since you failed to control it with your lies.

‼️DISGUSTING. HERE IT IS ON THE RECORDING‼️

A Hungarian journalist, Szabolcs Panyi — a Soros-linked Transparency International award recipient and the same person who spread the bot hoax — is heard talking about foreign intelligence tied to an EU member state targeting 🇭🇺Hungary’s foreign minister, in an operation linked to Brussels-aligned and pro-Ukrainian circles.

If there is a real scandal here, it is this: which foreign intelligence service is working together with Péter Magyar and the Brussels–Kyiv axis to spy on Hungary’s foreign minister and interfere in Hungary’s internal affairs?

It is obvious what they want: a Hungarian government that does not act according to Hungarian national interests, but follows the political expectations of Brussels and Kyiv.

THANKS BUT NO THANKS!!!

🇭🇺 Hungarians will not allow Brussels and Kyiv to install a government in Hungary that goes against our national interests.

@hw97karbine These were, and are, extremely cute - essentially miniature Mauser 98 systems, produced by prominent gun makers including, of course, Mauser. The bolt is akin to the M98, with flag safety, minus the forward lugs, it even has controlled feed. High quality, and very accurate, too.
