I have many pictures of two specimen (presumably a male and female)

The one with bent wing has this appendix which I think uses to penetrate my luffa fruit skin and lay its eggs or maybe that's the male's organ

I will never forget the schoolteacher who negotiated with seven RSF men to rape her instead of gang-raping her 14-year-old daughter, or the countless families who lost fathers and brothers, shot dead while the women and children in their households were gang-raped. One mother had lost her husband and was fleeing eastern Gezira on foot with her three daughters after they were gang-raped. One of her sons later found a lorry to carry them. On the journey, she mistook the blood coming from her 18-year-old daughter for menstrual bleeding, only to discover that her daughter had cut her vein. The young woman did not survive the journey.

This is a follow up to my previous post regarding strange gathering of ants on my lufa plant https://sh.itjust.works/post/57881489

I managed to identify a spot that ants gathering around and placed it under digital microscope.

this bump is what is attracting ants but I still don't know what it is or whether its the plant that produce it or the ants causing it.

Edit: Looks like I am not the only one

Seems harmless. Good to know

If you look at the bottom side of the leaves you'll see lot of ants. They are mostly stationary. Wonder what are they up to

The agriculture and environment ministries said laboratory tests confirmed the substance was glyphosate, a chemical used to destroy vegetation, with concentrations in some samples "between 20 and 30 times the levels usually accepted".

President Joseph Aoun condemned the spraying of what he described as "toxic substances", calling it a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and an environmental and health crime.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told the BBC they had no comment on the matter.

أعلنت السلطات المصرية اتخاذ إجراءات مشددة بلغت حد الإغلاق ضد مجموعة من المتاجر المتخصصة في بيع الأطعمة والحلويات، في إطار سلسلة "الإجراءات الرقابية" التي تهدف "لضمان مأمونية الغذاء وصحة المستهلك" وضبط المخالفات في العمل والتشغيل، وفق ما قالت السلطات.

وطالت الحملة محلات عدة، منها مطاعم شهيرة بالمأكولات مثل الأسماك واللحوم والدواجن، وأخرى بالحلويات، ويعد "بلبن" أحد أشهر محال الحلويات التي تعرضت للغلق، إذ لقي خبر إغلاقه تفاعلاً واسعاً في المنصات المصرية، بعدما أصدرت الهيئة القومية لسلامة الغذاء، بيانا قالت فيه إنها تلقت شكاوى من حالات "تسمم غذائي" بعد تناول أطعمة من عدة محال تقدم الطعام والحلويات، من ضمنها "بلبن" ومطاعم أخرى.

وأضافت: "قامت الفرق الرقابية خلال الأيام الماضية بتنفيذ حملات تفتيش ميدانية موسعة على المصانع ومحلات بيع وتداول المنتجات الغذائية التابعة لسلاسل (بلبن ، كرم الشام ، كنافة وبسبوسة ، وهمي ، عم شلتت) محل الشكاوى في مختلف محافظات الجمهورية."

I have 16GB of RAM. If I were to play a game like minecraft with few mods (RLCraft), then it completely fills up my memory. No other app can run beside it and even then sometimes system runs out of memory and shut down plasma-shell to have enough memory for the game. (I don't use swap)

Now if I restart and use X11, I can play that exact same game and have firefox, mozilla thunderbird & signal running and still have 5 GB free memory.

The weird thing is that memory consumption per app doesn't really differ much between X11 and wayland session but in wayland amount of memory used by all apps don't add up to amount used memory. like there is couple of GIgabytes unaccounted for.

I asked about that before and people suggested disk cache might be the culprit but why I don't have this problem with wayland?

I use KDE plasma / Gentoo if this is at all relevant.

3 months ago, I discovered a unique 0-click deanonymization attack that allows an attacker to grab the location of any target within a 250 mile radius. With a vulnerable app installed on a target's phone (or as a background application on their laptop), an attacker can send a malicious payload and deanonymize you within seconds--and you wouldn't even know.

I'm publishing this writeup and research as a warning, especially for journalists, activists, and hackers, about this type of undetectable attack. Hundreds of applications are vulnerable, including some of the most popular apps in the world: Signal, Discord, Twitter/X, and others. Here's how it works:

Lemmy.world now has few different frontends. the one I am interested in is Alexandrite.

Is there any chance we could have that here as well?

Now for the first time scientists researching the brain of a fly have identified the position, shape and connections of every single one of its 130,000 cells and 50 million connections.

It's the most detailed analysis of the brain of an adult animal ever produced.

One leading brain specialist independent of the new research described the breakthrough as a "huge leap" in our understanding of our own brains.

The indictment of Senator Bob Menendez on charges of corruptly aiding the Egyptian government has set the stage for a week of renewed pressure on US lawmakers to withhold military aid to Egypt.

Menendez stepped town temporarily from his position as head of the Senate foreign relations committee on Friday after he was indicted by New York’s southern district court on a set of explosive and detailed charges.

These included accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes as well as gold bars, payments towards his mortgage and gifts including a luxury car, in exchange for using his influence and breaching his duties “in ways that benefited the government of Egypt”, while bolstering a halal meat certification business based in his New Jersey district linked to the Egyptian state.
