BOSS RC-5 and Linux compatability?
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/35272958
I am looking into getting a BOSS RC-5 looping pedal for my guitar, and I am curious if anyone has any experience with using it with Linux?It makes use of this BOSS Tone Studio to allow adding additional backing tracks, but it is only officially supported for Windows and macOS. I could not find many examples of people using it on Linux, but for the most part any discussion I could find was in the context of their amplifiers.
I wonder if it should be straightforward to run it through Wine? As far as I can tell, you only need to set it up as a storage medium and connect it to your machine, although you can't just drag the files directly onto it.
It is not a deal breaker for me if I can't get it working, but it would certainly be a benefit if I could.

But if held too tightly, justified disdain for particularism — for rejecting the appeal to general interest so that one can cut the electorate into thin slices — can be counterproductive. “Policies and rhetoric framed in the interests of the working class as a whole are crucial,” Michael McCarthy, an associate professor of sociology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, writes in Hammer and Hope magazine. “But organizers have always known that in order to build a movement, you need to address specific yet important concerns that affect only some parts of your coalition while also speaking to the issues shared by everyone you want to draw into your base.”It’s important to remember, McCarthy argues, that the American working class isn’t unitary. Workers are segmented by familiar identities such as race, gender, religion and ethnicity, as well as by immigration status, education and the many ways that capitalism generates difference and differentiation across the system. “Similar to the way a city can have both food deserts and extraordinary food waste,” McCarthy notes, “the working class encompasses credentialed workers who have job protections and good wages, people in rural and urban areas with concentrated poverty whose work is poorly paid and precarious and undocumented workers in the shadows earning below the minimum wage because of their citizenship status.”

US suspends most visas for Palestinian passport-holders, after 80 Palestinian officials were denied visas ahead of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Earlier in August, visitor visas were paused for people hoping to travel from the Palestinian territory of Gaza. This newly-reported decree would affect a wider group - including people living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The decision was issued in a diplomatic cable dated 18 August, the New York Times and CNN reported.
US consular officers were told to refuse non-immigrant visas to "all otherwise eligible Palestinian Authority passport holders", the communication was quoted as saying.
That would apply to Palestinians hoping to come to the US for a range of purposes, including for business, study or medical treatment.
The move meant that officials would be required to perform a further review of each applicant, which amounted to a blanket ban on issuing visas to Palestinians, the New York Times added in its report.

In my lifetime, Jimmy Carter has been the only president that hasn't been a complete fuckwad. I know people see Obama with rose tinted glasses because he was sandwiched between a doofus who let an evil war criminal drag us into wars so his buddies could profit and the literal worst president of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Old man Biden did well as president but in my mind he will always be tainted by what an absolute piece of shit he was as Senator Biden.
No.

Whats wrong with Barack Obama?
America dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016. What a bloody end to Obama's reign
According to new figures, the US dropped nearly three bombs every hour, 24 hours a day. Dare we think how Donald Trump will continue this legacy?Medea Benjamin (The Guardian)
Come on. Obama's continuation of presidential power-creep is not what enables Trump. Trump getting elected, taking over the Supreme Court, getting elected again, having all the billionaires lick his ass, etc is what enables him.
If you wanna lay it on Obama, blame him for not taking the right wing seriously enough and going after them at the local level where they had been building strength for the past 50+ years. Or for not betraying all his moderate-conservative supporters to implement some seriously progressive policy.

Trump's use of National Guard in Los Angeles illegal, judge rules
A federal judge in California has ruled that the way President Donald Trump deployed deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles this summer was illegal.
The ruling comes as Trump seeks to use National Guard troops in order to crack down on crime in other US cities and support immigration enforcement.
US District Judge Charles Breyer said Trump violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the power of the federal government to use military force for domestic matters.
The law, first passed in 1878, prohibits using the US military in order to execute domestic laws, or assist with doing so. The law has limited exceptions, such as authorisation by Congress.
Judge Breyer found that the ways the Trump administration used the National Guard in Los Angeles violated these restrictions.

Non-military space opera recomendations
I'm looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I'm sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I've read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.

As a Canadian I'm aware that we're expanding our LNG/Fracking, mineral mining, and oil... First Nations groups are providing some pushback against those projects, but we can't expect them to hold the line on ecological protection (There's a clear fiscal incentive for them to give in).

Or eliminate the problem in the first place. For instance walkable cities reducing transportation demand overall.
substitute a few industrial gases
What and why?
steel making without fossil fuels and it works
This is interesting! Can you please elaborate or provide a link? Where is it being adopted?
emissions are increasing more slowly than they would have without the effort, but we are ona trajectory which makes loss of major ecosystems quite likely and threatens the viability of agriculture as a basis for civilization
This is where I'm coming from. Outdoor agriculture is both harming the planet and about to become significantly less viable as the planet heats up.
As far as industrial gases, there mostly ones with fluorine in them. SF₆ and refrigerant are the biggies.
For steel, the big one that exists at pilot scale is the use of hydrogen to reduce ore instead of carbon. Seems to work OK and makes a good enough product for most use.
Indoor farming only really is viable for specialty crops like drugs and a few vegetables. I dont expect to see it used for the grains that feed most of the population. The room to lower the amount of agriculture comes from reducing meat consumption and the use of food crops as motor vehicle fuel.

Yes and no. I garden. Hydroponically grown produce in my experience is higher quality, has long shelf life, and grows significantly faster. While cash crop commercial scaling may not be viable outside select crops, smaller household grows certainly are.
I fully agree though that mitigating livestock cultivation and biofuels are our biggest opportunities at present.
technical readiness level for hydrogen production is lacking.
adoption is slowed down by chicken egg problem (steam methane reforming vs pyrolysis/electrolysis)
but yeah. I sign your points.
Israeli protesters stage ‘day of disruption’ calling for end to war in Gaza
A majority of Israelis back ending the war as part of a ceasefire deal to free all remaining hostages, a sentiment mostly driven by concerns about hostages still in Gaza and the impact of two years of war on Israeli society and its economy.Most protests include some demonstrators calling for an end to famine and the slaughter of Palestinians, but they are usually a tiny minority. Polling this week showed that nearly three-quarters of Jewish Israelis partially or totally agree with the claim made by Israel's government that "there are no innocents in Gaza".
Earlier this month, another survey found 78% of Jewish Israelis said they were "not so troubled" or "not troubled" at all by reports of Palestinian suffering.

As a non-American, this is definitely something that's been an annoyance for as long as I can remember. Whenever the US decides it wants a war, every other country in the world is expected to join in (the "Coalition of the Willing" springs to mind) or else be bullied at best (Freedom Fries) or labelled an enemy at worst just for not wanting to spend huge amounts of resources and hundreds/thousands of lives on a war that's nothing to do with them.
But then when it comes to any sort of international agreement that would benefit everyone such as the Paris Climate Agreement, the Ottawa Treaty, the Rome Statute of the ICC, or the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, guess who doesn't step up?
The US seems to want all the power of being the World Police, without any responsibility towards the stewardship of the planet. They could pretty much get away with it so far IMO because they were so powerful, but now that the political system there seems to be falling apart, who knows? I am certain though that if things continue to get worse and the US faces a serious crisis like another civil war or something, they'll find a way to make it everybody else's problem as well.
The Palestine Chronicle case: When truth becomes the crime
The complaint filed against Ramzy Baroud and the organization (People Media Project) that runs the Palestine Chronicle rests on the Alien Tort Statute, grotesquely overstretched to criminalise editorial decisions rather than acts of war. It alleges that by publishing articles from Abdallah Aljamal — described by Israel as a Hamas operative killed during a hostage rescue — the Chronicle “aided and abetted” terrorism.
But here lies the first fissure: this characterisation of Aljamal comes exclusively from Israeli military sources, themselves a belligerent party. It has never been independently verified. The claim that he was both a journalist and a Hamas operative remains an allegation, not an established fact. To treat it as judicial evidence is to replace proof with propaganda.
Even if—hypothetically—Aljamal had, at the demand of a militant group, harbored hostages, such a circumstance would not in itself render him culpable: what ordinary civilian in a war zone can refuse the command of militants under threat of force? And even if it occurred, how could Ramzy Baroud have known of it? Even taken at face value, the allegation collapses upon scrutiny.
No evidence demonstrates that the Chronicle or its editor had actual knowledge of Aljamal’s supposed operational role, nor that modest freelance payments — if any at all — bore any causal nexus to hostage-taking. The federal judge, in February 2025, dismissed the original complaint precisely for lack of proof of knowledge or intent. The plaintiffs returned with an amended filing, repackaged in rhetoric and pathos, but still devoid of the material elements required under international law: actus reus (a substantial contribution to the crime) and mens rea (intent or knowledge).
To equate the publication of articles with material support for terrorism is not jurisprudence but a juridical contortion. It is the substitution of law by politics, the criminalisation of journalism under the mask of counterterrorism. What is sought is not justice but intimidation — to cast suspicion on every Palestinian voice, to brand their words as weapons, their witness as crime
Court tosses lawsuit by Trump against Maryland federal judges, calling it ‘potentially calamitous’
BALTIMORE (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday threw out the Trump administration’s lawsuit against Maryland’s entire federal bench in an emphatic ruling that underscored the extraordinary nature of the suit, slamming it as “potentially calamitous.”
U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen, who was nominated by President Donald Trump, also criticized the administration’s attacks on the judiciary, highlighting in a footnote that White House officials in recent months had described judges as “rogue,” “unhinged” and “crooked,” among other epithets.
“Although some tension between the coordinate branches of government is a hallmark of our constitutional system, this concerted effort by the Executive to smear and impugn individual judges who rule against it is both unprecedented and unfortunate,” he wrote.

tmux + nvim + lf integration guidance?
I've recently been getting into really picking and choosing how my computer is set up and what software I use to do certain tasks. Specifically, replacing GUIs (dolphin, [insert gui text editor here ig]) with CLIs (lf, nvim). That and learning how to leverage bash scripting to really have control over my computer.
The thing is, using tmux, nvim, and lf together has proved cumbersome because I have no idea how to integrate them. I can technically do whatever I need to do, but it certainly isn't the fast CLI-ninja experience I was hoping for.
I've gone through each of their manuals and understand them on their own well enough, but with integrating them I'm drawing a blank.
So, Linux enthusiasts in this corner of the internet, do you have any guidance on setting up proper integration between CLI-based file managers, neovim, and tmux? I'm also open to suggestions for new software or a different file manager.
Edit: after making this post I got to searching again and damn cfiles looking pretty good....
Edit2: nvm it's not in nixpkgs... damn...

Now, I'm not 100% sure that I've correctly understand what you're looking for. If you're after a file manager for nvim or tmux, then I would second yazi for your terminal as previously mentioned. Or you could go bare bone and use the command line straight with the help of some features like zsh and its competition, call to past arguments, zmv (and glob expression)...
For nvim, you can use the default tree explorer for basic usage. More advanced features can be found with telescope for example. I personaly opted for fzf-lua. Both can be used in other plugins as well to make things very easy and powerful. Just to cite a few, I'm using fzf-lua with obsidian (which, despite the name, doesn't require the tool of the same name) and snacks.

I really do wonder if þis is a natural evolution, and what distinguishes þe people who follow þis paþ.

And þen þere are times I want to play Factorio, or do someþing in Gimp or Inkscape... so I'm resigned to running X and herbstluftwm and just having a bunch of terminals and þe odd browser or game.
Point is, I'm not some edge case - a surprising number of people end up rejecting GUIs, or end up using mostly CLI or TUIs, and I wonder what it is about us which causes us to follow þe path of þe terminal.
For me it was a confluence of being tired of þe GUI bloat, but also an increasing hatred of having to move my hand away from þe home row just to move a cursor with a mouse. Reduced memory use, more free CPU, less electricity... þe more I did it, þe better þe results.

DNC Votes Down Resolution Calling for Israeli Arms Embargo to Halt US Complicity in Gaza Genocide
The Democratic National Committee on Tuesday voted down a resolution calling for a suspension of military aid to Israel in the midst of a famine in Gaza that is a direct result of Israel's near-total blockade on humanitarian aid.
Margaret DeReus, the executive director of IMEU Policy Project, was scathing in her denunciation of the DNC for voting down the resolution and directly called out the influence of pro-Israel groups that have spent millions to defeat progressives like former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), one of the first Democratic lawmakers to demand a ceasefire after Israel began its assault on Gaza in 2023.
Organizer Asra Nizami noted that "members acknowledged getting hundreds of calls and emails" about supporting the resolution, but voted it down nonetheless.
"This party keeps digging its own grave. And it's owned by AIPAC," said Nizami, referring to the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which donated more than $24 million to Democratic candidates in 2024.

New Trump Order Among 'Scariest Things I've Seen in US Politics,' Civil Rights Attorney Says
An executive order signed Monday by US President Donald Trump may permit "random fascist vigilantes" to help him crack down on protests across the country, according to one prominent civil rights lawyer.
The new order, which comes amid wider concern about Trump's militarized takeover of Washington, DC, directs Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to ensure that each state's National Guard is equipped to "assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety."
To that end, it orders the secretary to create a "standing National Guard quick reaction force" that "can be deployed whenever the circumstances necessitate," not just in the nation's capital but in "other cities where public safety and order has been lost."
Monday's order calls for the creation of "an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience." Agency heads then "shall each deputize the members of this unit to enforce federal law."
