The messages showed Matar initially talked about wanting to “expose” Rushdie, then about taking his life. In a private note to himself, he wrote: “We need to kill him ASAP,” according to Lynch. The prosecutor said Matar framed the planned killing as part of what he considered a jihad, or holy war.

Matar repeatedly broached the fatwa with contacts in messaging apps in 2021 and 2022, according to exhibits shown in court. The messages showed Matar fuming that he felt Rushdie had attacked Islam and, by surviving, emboldened others to insult the faith. Matar alluded to a 2006 comment along those lines by the late Hezbollah militant group leader Hassan Nasrallah, the messages showed.

Religion of peace at it again

Just found out PugJesus left: https://aussie.zone/u/[email protected]

Funnily enough wasn’t the community that caused him to leave, it was the people making the fediverse software

Not happy with Lemmy because they’re actual communists in 2026 and not happy with Piefed because it appears to be going in a direction he didn’t like

… feel like if it’s not one thing, it’s another. Kbin and lemm.ee went down. Dbzer0 shifted towards the tankies and bizarre clique shite. .world won’t stop making amateurish admin mistakes. Now Piefed is playing “experiments in anti-social-media”…

that’s not very queenslander of the weather :(

You do understand that Mozilla (previously Netscape Navigator) is older than Chromium right?

Yes, I used Netscape Navigator, what does that have to do with being a ‘reference browser’?

Chromium is just today’s Internet Explorer.

Well no because Internet Explorer wasn’t open source and couldn’t be forked

I’m using reference browser to mean a base browser of sorts that others build upon, Chromium clearly has that covered:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)#Browsers_based_on_Chromium

I get the feeling you mean ‘reference browser’ as some sort of left wing progressive hippie browser that is funded with magical money that drops out of the air (or in reality mainly open source devs working in their spare time for pennies (if that))

In my humble but correct opinion, Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

Building THE reference implementation web browser, and

Chromium already has that covered

Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.

Firefox has almost no market share thus it has no real say in standards

There is no 3.

I don’t see this going very far tbh, good luck but yeah

Did you know Kangaroo’s are Left-Handed?

Humans and some other primates exhibit “handedness,” or the tendency to use one hand more naturally than the other. Scientists once thought this was a unique feature of primate evolution, but more recent research suggests handedness is also common in kangaroos.

Based on research with red kangaroos, eastern greys, and red-necked wallabies, researchers have found the animals are primarily left-handed, using that hand for tasks such as grooming and eating about 95% of the time. Their hands also seem to be specialised for different types of work, with kangaroos typically using their left hand for precision and their right for strength. This challenges the idea that handedness is unique to primates, researchers say, noting it may be an adaptation to bipedalism.

DAMNIT

The original article was on the australian news corp website, so it’s probably not true and/or exaggerated but anyway

after attempting to register a motorcycle in a nearby town, Rolando Pérez Paz told the radio outlet. In the last few months, the family struggled with money and had trouble with violence and the federal government

What violence and why issues with the government?
