Summary by Leo AI :

This investigative report reveals how Harita Nickel, a major Indonesian mining company supplying the electric vehicle industry, concealed evidence that fish near its operations on Obi Island contained dangerous levels of heavy metals including lead, cadmium, chromium, and nickel. Internal documents show the company commissioned studies in 2022 that found contamination exceeding safety limits, then edited reports to remove warnings about health risks and publicly claimed fish were safe to eat—even hosting fishing tournaments to reassure communities. The contaminated fish pose serious health risks, especially to children, yet local villagers who depend on fishing continue consuming them daily, unaware of the dangers. Harita indirectly supplies major automakers including Tesla, Volkswagen, Ford, and Toyota, and experts suggest the company may have violated Indonesian securities law by withholding this material information during its 2023 stock exchange listing.

Following our experimental releases, this is our first non-experimental release based on Android 16 QPR1, the first quarterly release of Android 16. Android 16 QPR1 was pushed to the Android Open Source Project on November 11 rather than September 3 as expected. This is a very large quarterly release with more prominent user-facing improvements than Android 16 provided compared to Android 15 QPR2.

Changes since the 2025110800 release:

• rebased onto BP3A.250905.014 Android Open Source Project release (Android 16 QPR1)
• Terminal (virtual machine management app): re-enable GUI support now that the surfaceflinger crashes are resolved upstream by Android 16 QPR1
• adevtool: massive overhaul entirely replacing the small remnants of the Pixel device trees to fix several regressions introduced since Android 16 such as charging mode booting into the regular OS and to prepare for adding 10th gen Pixel devices via automated device support without any need for device trees to use as a reference
• adevtool: switch to obtaining Android 16 QPR1 backports from the latest November releases for relevant Pixels (there are no security patches listed for the Android or Pixel bulletins and not all Pixels received the tiny release)
• kernel (6.12): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision
• raise declared patch level to 2025-11-05 which has already been provided in GrapheneOS since our regular 2025090200 release (not a security preview) since the patches were included in the September security preview and were then pushed to AOSP despite not being listed in the bulletin along with there being no Pixel Update Bulletin patches for November 2025
• Vanadium: update to version 142.0.7444.158.0

Creating a security preview release on top of the new Android 16 QPR1 release is still in progress and will be available soon. For detailed information on security preview releases, see our post about it.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) signaled in an interview with Axios on Monday that she would not support New York City Council member Chi Ossé in a primary challenge against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez is one of several high-profile progressives distancing from Ossé's potential run, arguing that it is a distraction from New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's victory.

Ocasio-Cortez told Axios during a brief interview at the U.S. Capitol that she was "not aware" that Ossé was challenging.

"But," she added, "I certainly don't think a primary challenge to the leader is a good idea right now."

Almost one full hour about tamagotchi

City Councilmember Chi Ossé of Brooklyn has taken the first official step toward a Democratic primary challenge against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the highest-ranking Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“The Democratic Party’s leadership is not only failing to effectively fight back against Donald Trump, they have also failed to deliver a vision that we can all believe in,” Ossé said in a statement.

Ossé, 27, was elected to his second full term on the City Council in November and recently joined the Democratic Socialists of America. He has used a growing social media presence to engage New Yorkers on how the government works and when it doesn’t.

No industry is safe from artificial intelligence. Not even podcasting.

This isn’t hyperbole. There are already at least 175,000 AI-generated podcast episodes on platforms like Spotify and Apple. That’s thanks to Inception Point AI, a startup with just eight employees cranking out 3,000 episodes a week covering everything from localized weather reports and pollen trackers to a detailed account of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and its cultural impact, to a biography series on Anna Wintour.

Its podcasting network Quiet Please has generated 12 million lifetime episode downloads and amassed 400,000 subscribers — so, yes, people are really listening to AI podcasts.

The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

The new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it's possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now, you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo.

This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don't auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.

One of the oddest UN resolutions in history seeks to solidify shaky Gaza ceasefire into an enduring peace | Gaza | The Guardian

WASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The UN Security Council on Monday voted to adopt a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza and authorizing an international stabilization force for the Palestinian enclave.

Hamas, in a statement, reiterated that it will not disarm and argued that its fight against Israel is legitimate resistance, potentially pitting the militant group against the international force authorized by the resolution.

Russia, which holds a veto on the Security Council, earlier signaled potential opposition to the resolution but abstained from the vote, allowing the resolution to pass.

The UN ambassadors of Russia and China also abstained, complained that the resolution does not give the UN a clear role in the future of Gaza.
