Just a picture of a plant in my driveway.

Patterns in nature are beautiful.

I’ve been reading you should use Snapper. I looked before I updated from 15.6 to 16, but didn’t seem to have it installed even then, though I did have something that looked like it in YaST.

Now in 16, I also can’t find Snapper and I don’t seem to have the general interface of YaST anymore either. Just some separate tools, but not the snapshot one.

Is Snapper something you can download? I previously installed Timeshift because I went to OpenSuse 15.6 from Mint. I didn’t know there was already something installed that could do this, and as Timeshift is what’s used in Mint, I just downloaded that. Can I just use Timeshift?

What do you think of stoat ? I didn't find any comparison with other safe messaging service.

I understand that legally, it's under the GDPR but it's depand of the UK, famously imply in the 5 eyes States.

3 parties services are used, which may imply metadata leaks' and I didn't saw any mention of end-to-end encryption, OSR or other safety feature.

Stoat sell itself as safety focus. Do you think it's still an interesting app, compare to other chat service like mattermost, or do you think it's a safe-scam like Theema or proton ?

I had installed Fedora KDE for an older relative on his old Dell laptop. I had already upgraded it from 40 to 41 before, but this time it seemingly refuses to upgrade at all.

I tried upgrading through the "KDE Discover" program at first, no success. I would click the "Upgrade to Fedora 42" button and nothing would happen.

Then I tried upgrading manually using the instructions given by the fedora wiki, and I get the errors from the attached image. (Image below is the continued output)

On top of that, to make things worse, WiFi literally disappears at a whim sometimes. I mean all GUI options for WiFi disappear. I have to restart to make it work again. This is frustrating, can anyone give some insight? Should I just wipe and reinstall something else?

The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, and has suspended an agent who refused to participate in the plan, three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

Ray refused to participate in this plan, believing it would be inappropriate and highly unusual for a white-collar defendant like Comey, according to the source. He was then suspended for insubordination.

The FBI is now actively working to put together a team to arrest Comey between now and his court appearance on Thursday, but other FBI supervisors have also refused to cooperate, said a source knowledgeable about the conversions and a law enforcement source familiar with the situation. The expectation is that the FBI will eventually find somebody.

The FBI is weighing an arrest and perp walk for Comey — and suspended an agent for refusing to help, sources say

When China first announced a new visa targeting foreign professionals in science and technology in August it largely went unnoticed.

But the K visa, which went into effect on Wednesday, was thrust into the public spotlight last week, when an Indian outlet referred to it as "China's H-1B" - a reference to the US visa for skilled workers which was, last month, targeted by an executive order by Donald Trump. Indians dominate the H-1B programme, making up more than 70% of the recipients in recent years.

The Indian media report was picked up widely in China, stoking concern - and even fears - amongst the public over whether benefits extended to foreigners would increase competition in a sluggish job market - and in a country that has traditionally not been a major immigration destination for foreign professionals.

And although it is still unclear whether the visa will actually allow foreigners to work in China or whether it just allows them easier access into the country, it didn't stop tens of thousands of users on Chinese social media from criticising the programme.

"We have so many bachelor's degree holders, not to mention even more with master's and doctoral degrees. We already have a surplus of domestic talent - and now you're bringing in foreign college graduates?" read one comment.

“There have been so many new programmes pushing our university students to compete with each other, but in the end, nothing beats a foreign passport,” another Weibo user wrote.

[...]

Others talked about whether authorities could bring in a high standard of talent, and questioned whether foreigners would be able to adapt to life on the mainland, citing language barriers and China's tightly controlled political system.

Also among the comments were a wave of xenophobic and racist remarks - many of them targeted specifically at Indian nationals.

Washington — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly approved military operations on two vessels early last month that were part of a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian supporters, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Two American intelligence officials briefed on the matter told CBS News that Israeli forces on Sept. 8 and 9 launched drones from a submarine and dropped incendiary devices onto the boats that were moored outside the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said, causing a fire. The officials spoke under the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on national security matters.
