Martin Varsavsky criticized the regularization of immigrants in Spain without requiring a work contract and the granting of the Minimum Living Income (IMV) to people who, as he wrote, had never worked. He also questioned the provision of unemployment benefits to those who stop working instead of sending them back home, and mentioned non-contributory pensions. Varsavsky argued that bringing in 700,000 immigrants a year, a third of whom are unemployed, when only 250,000 are needed, could open the door to social chaos. He added that the arrival of robots could leave many people without jobs. Regarding culture, he argued that if immigration was accepted because Spaniards were having few children, priority should be given to Hispanic people who spoke Spanish and loved Spain. #Inmigración #España #CaosSocial (translated)

U.M. OSINT wrote that Yandex data centers in Sasowo were hit on the night of October 8, 2026, in Kaluga on October 9, and in Vladimir on October 11. All three locations are far from Ukraine. Following an English-language address by Volodymyr Zelensky, bot activity noticeably decreased, the author reported, but questioned whether this indicated an actual decline in propaganda bots. The frequently cited graph from Cloudflare Radar shows a drop in automated HTML requests to websites, U.M. OSINT explained. Such requests could come from crawlers that create previews for shared links or from services that provide search engines and chat AI with information. Propaganda bots could be included, but they don’t have to be. The author also pointed out that propaganda is coming from Iran, Turkey, China, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Attacks on data centers make sense as military targets, U.M. OSINT wrote. He expected further Ukrainian attacks and mentioned Ivanteyevka and Mytischchi as possible next targets. He claimed that Russian air defenses could not adequately protect such facilities. At the same time, damage to Yandex services could impair Russian armed forces, which the author claimed use them for maps and possibly for drone operations. However, Yandex has not been shut down, U.M. OSINT wrote: the company has two additional large data centers and possibly dozens of smaller ones. Data can be shifted. According to IODA data from the Georgia Institute of Technology, connectivity has dropped by about 72 percent compared to the previous average. The attack harms Russia, but how severely remains to be seen. The claim that all propaganda bots have disappeared due to this is based on a misinterpretation and is not supported by the available information, the author explained. #Russland #Propaganda #Yandex (translated)

Hidde Bouwmeester wrote that after a Ukrainian attack on a Russian data center, a portion of the bot traffic had disappeared, especially traffic that, according to him, spread pro-AfD and MAGA viewpoints. He suggested that mainstream media should therefore assign less news value to what is happening online, as many discussions and uproars, according to him, were created by bots. #Oekraïne #Rusland #Bottraffic (translated)

The former player believed that the Frenchman had the qualities, character, and audacity necessary to aim for the Ballon d'Or. He added that Cherki was among the players he would pay to watch in a match and that Zinédine Zidane could help him take a step forward in the national team, where he would play with players he admires.
