The scientist responsible for overseeing the CDC team that collects data on Covid and RSV hospitalizations resigned on Monday.
Dr Fiona Havers told colleagues in an email that she no longer had confidence the data would be used “objectively or evaluated with appropriate scientific rigor to make evidence-based vaccine policy decisions”, according to Reuters.
She resigned before a planned meeting of a new vaccine panel put in place by Robert Kennedy Jr after he fired all 17 members of the CDC’s independent vaccine advisory panel. Kennedy also dropped a recommendation to get the Covid shot for healthy children and pregnant women.

A secretive group inside the FDA gave the global manufacturer a special pass to continue shipping more than a dozen drugs to the United States even though they were made at the same substandard factory that the agency had officially sanctioned. Pills and injectable medications that otherwise would have been banned went to unsuspecting patients across the country, including those with cancer and epilepsy.
The FDA didn’t routinely test the medications for quality problems or use its vast repository of drug-related complaints to proactively track whether they were harming the people who relied on them.
And the agency kept the exemptions largely hidden from the public and from Congress. Even others inside the FDA were unaware of the details.
The democrats don’t mind offending people. Like minorities like Trans or Disabled people. They only walk on eggshells around conservatives for some reason.
On July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.

Un investitore americano ha dichiarato di essere interessato ad acquisire i diritti sul Nord Stream. Rimettendolo in funzione, farebbe arrivare di nuovo il gas dalla Russia e costringerebbe di fatto Bruxelles ha modificare totalmente la sua politica. Si Stephen P. Lynch ed è stato un forte donatore della campagna elettorale di Trump nel 2024. La sua idea è quella di rendere gli USA un ponte energetico fra la Russia e l’Europa. In questo modo ci guadagnerebbero tutti, sostiene. Infatti nella stessa Germania vi sono esponenti politici come il primo ministro della Sassonia Michael Kretschmer, che vorrebbe dall’Europa un approccio costruttivo e positivo verso Mosca. E altri Paesi europei vorrebbero continuare a comprare energia dalla Russia senza seguire il piano UE di abbandono degli idrocarburi russi entro il 2027. Ci guadagnerebbero gli americani a livello finanziario, perché sarebbero gli intermediari favoriti di entrambe le parti, e a livello geopolitico tirerebbero Mosca verso di sé nella speranza, stavolta, di trattenerla.
China are objectively the good guys here, and the US is a rabid dog of a nation that German fascists used as their model. It's pretty obvious who the bad guys are.
Given that Russia is on the side of the global south, yeah they are the good guys in the primary contradiction between the west and the rest of humanity.
It's one thing to bomb the pipeline of a completely cucked and subservient vassal state like Germany that will just meekly take it and say "thank you sir, may i have some more".
It's another to do it to a sovereign nuclear superpower like China. At that point you're declaring war on one and a half billion people who produce one third of the entire world's manufacturing output.

Israel's military campaign since has killed nearly 55,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to health authorities in Gaza, and flattened much of the densely populated strip, which is home to more than 2 million people. Most of the population is displaced and malnutrition is widespread. Despite efforts by the United States, Egypt and Qatar to restore a ceasefire in Gaza, neither Israel nor Hamas has shown willingness to back down on core demands, with each side blaming the other for the failure to reach a deal.
If the United States wanted a ceasefire, there would have already been a ceasefire.

I tried testing a movie from my home server in plex through firefox and repeatedly got this message, even after reloading.
I knew that they had paywalled the apps on mobile and streaming from outside the network but now they have also blocked watching your own movies through your own hardware.
I do get the point that making software should be able to sustain people but I dont see the move of plex as a fair thing to do. Yes, they have made great software but taking your home server hostage feels like the wrong move.
Even a pop up that says "we need you to donate please" would have been fine. make it pop up before every movie, play donation ads before any movie but straight up disabling the app is kinda cruel.
Anyway, i have switched to jellyfin and it is insanely good. please give it a try. you can run it alongside plex with not issues (at least i had none) and compare the two.
In any case, good luck. Let me know if you need help.
Old news, but time for Jellyfin. I made the switch a couple months ago. Some minor teething issues, but better, IMO, especially now as my family all have LDAP users and that just works.
Thats not what I meant. I of course have wireguard set up for administration and my own streaming needs. But friends of mine who were able to use plex by just making an account but now they cant because of course there is no relay server etc. I'll have to think of a way to make it available to them (easily!) without putting my network at risk.
I know this probably comes up a lot and is liable to spark some debate, but I'm curious what the good options are for terminals. I've skimmed some reddit/lemmy posts about it and looked at a few options and I dunno how to decide between them because they all seem like they're too narrowly focused on some particular use case. I'm just using it for general terminal stuff, nothing terribly fancy. I'm aware that there's not one terminal to rule them all or anything, so I'm curious: what do you folks use, and more importantly, why do you use that over the (many) other options available?
Personally I've just been using konsole since it's what came with kde and it seems nice and all, but I feel like I'm missing out on features I don't even know about. One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such where i'm doing the tinkering instead of constantly tabbing out to duck.ai or w/e.
I use xfce4-terminal, lxterminal is also good for the same reasons. The nice thing about them is that their configs are very stable (this can be a bit of an issue with KDE, e.g. I recently had to redo my editor themes for Kate because the old ones weren't compatible anymore), and they save system resources by letting all terminals run in one process. Running terminal windows in separate processes might protect you from crashes, but even though I use terminals heavily I just never have terminal crashes. And they're simpler to configure than e.g. urxvt.
Im using what DE provides by default. If You do not know what You need from terminal that means You probably do not need anything more. Make a switch when You want something particular. On the other note I think You might be more interested in different shell rather than terminal. So fir example zsh or fish (You are most likely currently using bash)
I agree. I think OP should try another shell first. That will impulse the use of the terminal. I'm using alacritty because it stuck and the updates are minuscule, but I've recently moved to fish and have it on desktop and server.
I use Xfce and Cinnamon, but I always install Gnome Terminal regardless (you don't need all of Gnome desktop to use it). The main reason I like Gnome Terminal is that it is very simple, and it lets you save your own terminal themes and switch between them from a context menu. Xfce terminal is nice and simple, but doesn't have this really handy theme switching feature.
That said, the terminal emulator I used most often is the Emacs built-in terminal emulator (term-mode), because it integrates flawlessly with other Emacs tools. But its rendering and theming isn't as nice as Gnome terminal, so I only recommend it if you are an Emacs user.
kitty. The ssh kitten is enough reason to use it. I work ob a lot of different systems that require OTP. Using the ssh kitten I can type the OTP once and can spawn new terminals that ssh and cd to the remote direvtory without logging in again. Obviosly the tabs and window panes are are a must too. There's tons of other useful features that I like, like using hints to select nunbers, filenames, urls, etc in the terminal output.
I like guake, or yakuake.. they are inspired by the console in Quake. F9 drops it down and hides it. Works for what i need it to. I'm just a guy who recently ditched windows, not a power user.
Are you serious? It's just a window where text is printed. Use what your DE provides. Now I'm mostly on LXQt, so I use QTerminal. With tiling WMs I prefer urxvt because I don't need builtin window splitting ans tabs. I can't imagine what other features may I need.
That was my reaction. Since I use Cinnamon and Gnome I use gnome-terminal.
The features I like are cut/paste and the open in terminal feature in the file manger. Nice that it looks good in your DE too. What else does one need?
If you're on a high-refresh display, the GPU acceleration allows for much faster updates. Makes it feel much smoother. It's of course not needed, but neither is a lot of stuff we do.
What's up with the attitude like gpu accelerated terminals aren't extremely popular? If you're fine with what you're using, have fun and tone down the high horse.
You can just go test it out yourself. Compare using a TUI in a hardware accelerated terminal to one that isnt. If you use a lot of TUIs or very dynamic CLIs it makes a very noticeable difference
Yeah I have been, I've just seen discussion about terminals that do all kinds of fancy shit and I'm wondering if I'm missing out on features by using the default (konsole), though it seems fairly full-featured. shrug
Multiplexing, remote multiplexing, shell integration, SSH integration, image rendering, ligatures, image rendering (mainly for TUI file managers like Yazi), support for font styling, scrollback searching, persistent sessions.
Many of these might not matter to you, but I use a lot of these features very frequently, especially remote multiplexing which only Kitty and Wezterm do AFAIK.
I also paricularly like Westerns feature where you can press a keybind and itll show two character flags over all the links and paths currently being displayed, and you type the flag to copy it. Let's me avoid switching my hand over to my mouse.
Most of what you enumerated is not a terminal emulator job. There is tmux for multiplexing, search and persistent sessions, for instance. And if you want image rendering, what a hell you use TUI for this? GUI programs can also be controlled with keyboard.
Most of what you enumerated is not a terminal emulator job.
Says who? You aren't the arbiter of what software gets to handle each job.
Tmux does a worse job than Wezterm while being more complex, a pain in the ass to configure, and feeling less native than just using the built-in tabs and panes of my terminal. Ive also had it break the output and interfere with the keybinds of many apps. Why the hell should I install and configure an extra tool when Wezterm does what I need perfect?
And if you want image rendering, what a hell you use TUI for this?
Because I like using a TUI? I do the large majority of my work in my terminal, so why should I swap out of it to look at a picture when Wezterm does it just fine? More importantly, why do you give a fuck what tools somebody uses if they work for them?
I dont give a shit about "Unix philosophy", Wezterm works better for me at all of these tasks than any other options.
GUI programs can also be controlled with keyboard.
I have never seen a GUI file manager with the same level of control using a keyboard as the average TUI file manager.
My terminal of choice nowadays is Alacritty. It's nice and clean, has a text based config file and decent feature support. The only annoyance is the lack of tabs, but I spend most of my terminal time ssh'd into a tmux session on a remote server anyway.
I like minimal terminals, was using st for a long time and now I'm using foot for quite a while already. Since I'm using tmux I don't need my terminal to have any tab/windowing features
The one that comes with your DE is generally just fine, unless you're a serious terminal user.
One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such
I think that's a quick way to nuke your install, LLMs are generally wrong about what commands to run and don't understand enough to know when something is dangerous. All it takes is changing one wrong file and everything breaks.
Fair, I'm definitely not a 'serious' terminal user.
Yeah I was wondering about that, it'd be nice to have an LLM that's specifically trained on like linux system configs and shit, but that's well beyond the scope of my capabilities, so if it doesn't already exist I'm just SOL on that one.
Yeah I mean even if it was trained specifically for that, they often will still be incorrect because they don't actually understand the concepts they're presenting.
I’m just using it for general terminal stuff, nothing terribly fancy.
OP, to be frank, descriptions like "general terminal stuff" and "nothing terribly fancy" are too generic to be useful here. Though, I suppose this is simply indicative that you're (probably) perfectly served (as is) by Konsole.
and more importantly, why do you use that over the (many) other options available?
Because it came with the distro and I had no need for something different.
One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such where i’m doing the tinkering instead of constantly tabbing out to duck.ai or w/e.
Unsure if I understood you correctly, but perhaps Warp and Wave are worth looking into for ya.
Sorry, by 'general terminal stuff' and 'nothing fancy' I mean I just like edit config files, run system commands, that sort of thing. But yeah I'm not like doing complex data management or programming or whatever.
No worries, fam! And thank you for clarifying! Based on your answer, I'll assume that Konsole should suit you more than well for the time being. The moment you're starting to 'live' inside a terminal is when looking elsewhere for something more advanced and/or powerful starts to make a lot more sense.
I’ll check out Warp/Wave, thanks!
Aight. Glad to hear that you're interested! Have a good one, fam 😉.
Whatever comes with your distro or desktop environment ought to be enough for anybody.
Unless you have a minimal window manager that comes with only xterm. Then I'd install xfce4-terminal to get tabs and more reasonably sized text. If for some reason the distro or OS only has sh, I'll also go ahead and install bash, but nothing fancier than that.
My suggestion is you focus more on learning to use the terminal than figuring out which one to use. Switching terminals is like a micro version of distro hopping without the benefits.
I use ollama for llms, but being a terminal tool, you need to be comfortable using the terminal.
To answer your original question, I use alacritty. Minimal bells and whistles. Just a terminal.
Fair, although I am reasonably comfortable with the terminal (just don't know all the commands and such, always having to look that sort of thing up). I used to run linux installs many years ago back when stuff like slackware and redhat were the standard distros and X was iffy at best so I've done a lot of that sort of thing, just not in like 20+ years.
But I'm seeing lots of recommendations for alacritty, I'll check it out, though most people seem to think konsole is fine unless I have specific needs which I really don't. Thanks!
Uhh, switching terminals is nothing like distro-hopping, that's a ridiculous analogy. You might need to configure the new terminal, but that's it, and there's no cost or conflict.
I'm using st with tmux. It's in written in c, simple configuration can be done by editing the header file(s). More complex customization (such as visual bell or transparency) can be done via patch files.
Not the most beginner friendly terminal but super light weight and fast.
I was tinkering with ollama+deepseek and trying to integrate it into my bash functions, but gave up, because i could not supress that stupid "thinking..." prompt. Found it easyer to just have a browser window open (switching windows can become muscle memory in tiling wms like i3/sway or dwm).
I recently tried out some terminals but in the end it didn't really make all that big of a difference, maybe because I use tmux so I don't need split functionality. For a long time I used Gnome Console because it came with my distro but then I tried Ghostty because some people said it was the best and I also thought I was missing out. However for me it was mostly the same as before and it was cool in a way but for some reason it didn't really click. Now I am using Wezterm because other people said it's the best and what i like is that it comes as a flatpak and it is configured using Lua. But I could just go back to Gnome Console if I had to.
Yeah I'm kinda getting that impression. Most of the responses to this post have generally been 'use what your DE ships with' or 'I use something obscure and tailored to this weird specific use case I have'. I've looked at a lot of the suggestions people have given and none of them seem like they would be a noticeable upgrade for me, so I'm content to continue using konsole until I come across a situation that requires me to do something fancy that it can't do.
+1 for Tilix, iirc there is some back end adjustment you have to make for full use of its features, but its easy to apply and has a link to run you though it. Once that's done, it's really customizeable and can look great.
Not yet. Panel autohide is bound to the WM (notebook display is small enough already), which doesn't work with niri. Currently fiddling with Waybar. I just need a task panel, tray and clock + battery.
I'm using Kitty. Kitten ssh is smooth as I ssh into other machines a lot. I also love being able to split the screen and have tabs. I use Kitty session a lot, I have a pre-configured yaml file that just sets up the terminal for me. I like the keyboard shortcuts too.
That's why it was right there in the title? What else did you imagine I meant when I titled that post 'the terminal question'?
And yes, I genuinely value the opinions of others (because they can explain why they hold them) over the opinions of AI-generated listicles and 10 year old reddit posts that offer no explanation. Is that not why you participate in internet forums like lemmy?
To me it wasn't. The question would be "What terminals do you guys use?"
Please blame AI for internet search all you want, but there are ways to filtered AI-generated posts. For example, search on specific sites which you trust (I don't know, lemmy.ml as the obvious choice, perhaps?).
Dude, look, I gave you some advise on how to get information from search engines, and efficiently ask a question when that fails to deliver. If you don't like it, simply walk away. Feel free to block me or downvote me too. Argue with me does you no good.
No, what you did is come into a productive post with a fair amount of serious engagement--and no apparent confusion about what I meant from anyone else--with an attitude and a snarky comment. I tried in my response to ignore that and sincerely engage with your question and you decided to double-down. So I'm gonna take that as a solid 'yes' re:dead-set on being an ass and go do something more productive with my time. Have a lovely day.
If you want features, I suggest you try Kitty. It is probably the terminal with the most features. I personally prefer Alacritty because it is quite bare and doesn't have all that fancy stuff that I don't need (and that takes up cpu cycles).
Anything is fine unless you're using the terminal very heavily. Almost all of my workflow is within the terminal so I want everything to be as fast as possible. I want a minimal, low config, fast terminal that has the exact same behavior when using the same config on Linux and MacOS (I know, fuck me, I have to use it for work). And those are Alacritty and Ghostty. I hate Alacritty's horrible icon so I use Ghostty.
Surprised that there's so few drop-down terminals being mentioned; I use Tilda but I guess they are all fine as long as they work on one's distro config. It's so handy to always have the console locked and loaded invisibly, but toggled by the press of a button.
...weird. I don't understand why drop-down terminals are a thing? I can bring up Konsole with a hotkey too, only it just opens a window instead fo doing a fancy animation. That's such a tiny part of its functionality that I can't imagine how 'drop-down' became a descriptor for a terminal instead of just a bullet point on a feature list somewhere, much less a whole-ass category of terminals, lol.

But, fair enough.
Totally agree that objectively it's a tiny part. However, for one, I'𝗆 simply used to it because that how terminals behave in games, and two, because terminals with drop-down as a feature were the only ones that introduced me to a one-button hotkey, just like in a game.
I have determined that foot is best for me personally, like alacritty and a couple others, it is very barebones. No tabs or anything like that without tmux. But it doesn't rely on GPU acceleration and is just as fast (or faster) than my experience using GPU accelerated terminals. Easy to configure and since it doesn't have the GPU requirements it works on old hardware like a dream. Only possible issue is that it is wayland only but since that is all I like to use it is perfect.
I find a lot like ghostty and wezterm try to include too many features. All I need a terminal emulator to be is a terminal emulator. But then a lot of these then add tabs, build in multiplexers & more and it is more bloated than I like a simple utility to be. Additionally, I don't need native tabs as a lot I do in the terminal uses SSH so it is easier just to use tmux/zilji and not have to manage it as much.
Linux vtty forever! Can't cat data into the framebuffer when your desktop is getting in the way!!
Jk I use gnome terminal for everything, or whatever default is available. It's quite amazing that most of them handle all but the most niche terminal features these days.
When I need to install a terminal emulator for some reason I always go for urxvt.. but it is pretty terrible (it's a great vt but mouse interaction is clunky and graphics are old school) compared to pretty much everything else.
Moreso than idiot though. It's almost always been considered a swear-word, but if you're looking for a stricter, smaller set, those go by "cuss-words".
I've never considered it a swear word. It's more of a euphomism for "shit". My criteria for "swear" word is whether it is something a kid can say in school with getting yelled at. I realize this may have changed since I was a kid.
The sharp uptick of crap flown around 2.6 piques my interest. As does someone's introduction of 'retard' into the vocabulary shortly prior. Must have been popcorn times.
I don't think this uptick of 2.6 sounds fair to be interpreted as a timeline because it stuck around for five years. Also around that time embedded devices boomed, and LTS kept it alive well into 2010s. I bet there have to be a large amount of swears from the later developers tried hard to fix bugs.
I quite liked how the original Linux fix for the Spectre-style speculative execution bug on Intel processors was called "Forcefully Unmap Complete Kernel With Interrupt Trampolines", but alas, in the interest of diplomacy it was renamed to "Kernel Page Table Isolation" (KPTI) rather than "FUCKWIT".
Doesn't feel like it was that long ago, but of course, all search results are dogshit in this new age: wccftech.com/intel-kernel-memo…
It has been a little over 48 hours since the Intel kernel bug was first reported and while we don’t have an official comment from Intel yet, it looks like there are some additional details of what the actual problem is.
I liked posting a picture here so I think I will try to do it weekly 😀
This is what the dawn of January 1st 2025 looked like for me. We've slept in my van through the night to get this view. The temperature was about -20℃ but it was worth it in the end.
The flats in the picture is the frozen Lake Paravani and the mountains are the Samsari ridge.

The lesson should be to prioritise soft mobility and public transport .
