Yes. Canada should celebrate but know that it is not out of the woods yet. We need a real progressive alternative and we need to stop the momentum of the far-right cult. Right now we have neither; we have just seen off the most immediate threat.
Deleting files and folders in Windows is the one that gets me. It’s so incredibly slow, and if you try to cancel it manages to take even longer “Cancelling…”.
Interestingly they did the same with Word 97: loaded Office at startup so the individual Office applications would seem to launch faster.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed because it’s very up to date yet reliable, package management doesn’t require me to get my head around anything complicated, automatic btrfs snapshots allow me to rollback if I mess anything up, and I like KDE Plasma and the YaST utilities.
Hairdryers are quite loud too. It’s a stretch to describe even the sonic boom as “silent”.
The headline is misleading. It’s quieter, but far from silent.
We need more of this in all countries.
Meanwhile Trump is doing his best to force everyone to use coal. Maybe it’s an employment program for the under-10s, with so many new chimney sweeps needed.
It’s worth reading the whole article, because it makes pretty clear that it was Israeli forces that did this, that they initially struck the ambulances and then proceeded to execute the people in them, and that there were other slaughters of civilians involved in the same action.
When you do eventually switch, I’d recommend getting your own domain and using an email address at that domain, so that your email address becomes independent of your email provider. It will make it easier to switch again in future should you need to, because you can keep the same email address and use it with a new provider.
You could use any trustworthy sync service with automatic camera uploads, but they will all wait until the video has finished recording before uploading it. Ideally there would be an app that streams live to a remote server that’s recording. There used to be. A sync service might be second best though.
You need something that streams to a secure server, so the police can’t just delete the video.
If ICE intercept someone trying to enter at a land border and they don’t want them in the USA, why don’t they just turn them around? Why do they imprison them for months at the US taxpayer’s expense?
“She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred,” the organization said.
Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.
“Sadly, Greta’s hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation eclipses her love of the environment. …”
Well would you look at that: they make no distinction between demanding the university cut ties with Israel, “hatred for Israel”, “hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation” and “vile Jew-hatred”. So for them there’s no gap between asking for pressure to stop Israel’s active genocide and hating all Jews. It’s so absurd and such a blatant attempt at political gaslighting they don’t deserve to be taken seriously.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has been my desktop home for the last year. It’s very up to date, yet it’s somehow solid and reliable despite sometimes receiving hundreds of updates per week. And if anything goes wrong with an update you can easily roll back to a BTRFS snapshot. It has a good repository supplemented by Flatpaks, and I haven’t had any problems finding software, yet it’s not a hassle like some other cutting-edge distros. It uses KDE Plasma by default, which I consider a plus. I came to it from Mint, which was my go-to distro for a long time, but I enjoy Tumbleweed more for its up-to-dateness and configurability, and I have (surprisingly) encountered more software gaps on Mint.
Who would have though the US ally is favored in US newspapers over the terrorist organization.
Here’s the beginning of the article:
The New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times’s coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza showed a consistent bias against Palestinians, according to an Intercept analysis of major media coverage.
The print media outlets, which play an influential role in shaping U.S. views of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, paid little attention to the unprecedented impact of Israel’s siege and bombing campaign on both children and journalists in the Gaza Strip.
Major U.S. newspapers disproportionately emphasized Israeli deaths in the conflict; used emotive language to describe the killings of Israelis, but not Palestinians; and offered lopsided coverage of antisemitic acts in the U.S., while largely ignoring anti-Muslim racism in the wake of October 7. Pro-Palestinian activists have accused major publications of pro-Israel bias, with the New York Times seeing protests at its headquarters in Manhattan for its coverage of Gaza –– an accusation supported by our analysis.
This is not discussing the state of Israel state versus Hamas. It talks about a bias against Palestinians and the impact of the bombing on children and journalists in Gaza, and how these newspapers have reported more emotively on the killings of Israelis than killings of Palestinians.
To read this and think it’s about allies vs. terrorists is symptomatic of the problem.
Yeah, ARM originally stood for Advanced RISC Machines. And the company grew out of Acorn Computers, a British company that made some excellent, innovative computers in the 1980s and 90s, including the BBC Microcomputer (not RISC) and the original RISC machine, the Acorn Archimedes. (The BBC Micro was central to computer education in the UK and the Raspberry Pi is an attempt to get back to the spirit of that project. The Raspberry Pi also uses a RISC CPU.)
RISC-V dates from 2011. RISC processors have been around since the 1980s, and ARM processors (in all our mobile devices) are RISC processors. Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3) is ARM-based so RISC is also in Macs, which proves it’s feasible in high-performing laptop and desktop computers. But the particular appeal of RISC-V is its open licensing.
Well the problem with public facilities is they allow people who are not rich enough to take a piss to take a piss, while depriving shareholders and Silicon Valley assholes entrepreneurs of profits. Before you know it you’ve got communism, and then everyone has a place to live and a toilet from which no one gets rich.
He’s on his way back, because he doesn’t know how to do anything else. Let’s hope his colleagues at least take the party leadership away from him.
