Billionaires and their companies still cooking the planet from their private enclaves, close neighborhoods, and vehicles?

Anyone else live somewhere that has had people joining in a WiFi naming joke?


My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.

My neighbours have added ‘Java the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.

Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?

in reply to Hossenfeffer

Sadly in my apartment complex they seem to all use the default name given by the router (like Carrier-randomnumbers).

I have a friend who named his WiFi "Connecting..." which is diabolical

A good person would be more concerned about some other kind of persecutions taking place right now.

Seems almost like Donald and Elon advocating against whites discrimination in South Africa.

"I was beaten by Israeli police," says European MEP Rima Hassan after Sumud Flotilla detention


French Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan, of Palestinian origin, said she was beaten by 'Israeli' police after the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza.

Speaking to Agence France-Presse at Athens International Airport on Monday, where she arrived alongside other deported activists including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Hassan said, “I was beaten while being put into a police car by two Israeli officers.” Wearing gray prison garments similar to those worn by Thunberg, she added, “We have a lot to reveal,” condemning the treatment they received and affirming that “some of us were beaten.”

Hassan did not provide further details about the alleged assault, stating only, “Sometimes there were 13 to 15 of us in a single cell, not on beds but on mats on the floor… in the high-security Israeli prison in the Negev. We lacked everything.” Thunberg, speaking from Athens, also denounced “mistreatment and abuses” during her detention but did not go into specifics.

Why some federal workers aren't scared by the threat of shutdown layoffs


As the federal government appeared headed for a shutdown early last week, Jenna Norton joined a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol to urge lawmakers not to be cowed by the Trump administration's threat of mass layoffs.

"As a federal worker, I am here to tell you that every awful thing that would happen in a shutdown — shuttering programs that Americans rely on, damaging our economy, firing federal workers — all of this is already happening," said Norton, a program director with the National Institutes of Health, who spoke in her personal capacity alongside other civil servants.

...

Now furloughed, Norton continues to implore members of Congress to reject a spending deal that maintains the status quo. Instead, she hopes they'll use the moment to assert their constitutional authority — their power of the purse — to take back control of government spending.

"They accepted a position of power and privilege of representing the American people," Norton said in an interview with NPR. "If they're serious about doing that, they need to stand up and represent the American people and push back against a president who wants to be king."

I Tested PerfectEssayWriterAI for a Week in October—impressed!


I’m a Chartered Manager and Marketing Expert with a passion for writing about trending AI tools. I often explore digital platforms that make students’ lives easier, especially when it comes to writing and research.

This very first week of this October, I decided to spend a week testing PerfectEssayWriterAI, and the experience was surprisingly impressive.

I usually recommend AI tools to students for convenience, so I wanted to see if this one actually lived up to the buzz. PerfectEssayWriter has been getting a lot of attention lately, and as someone who enjoys testing new tech, I wanted to see what made it stand out.

My Experience


Using the essay writer felt smooth and effortless. It generated essays that were clear, well-structured, and sounded natural. I tried different topics, and each one came out polished and easy to refine. It really felt like a reliable writing assistant rather than just a content generator.

What I liked most were its toolkits. The Essay Grader, Paraphrasing Tool, Plagiarism Checker, and Citation Generator make it a complete package for students. These features save time and help polish essays before submission.

Recognized for Excellence


PerfectEssayWriter AI has even been mentioned on Techpoint Africa and Finance Yahoo, and many other news outlets, where it was listed among the world’s best academic writing tools. That recognition says a lot about its quality and efficiency.

After a week of using it, I can confidently say PerfectEssayWriterAI is a smart, reliable choice for students who want to write faster and better without stress.

In which episode do they address the IOF letting Oct7 happen on purpose? Giving them a "moral" reason to kickstart a barbaric campaign in Gaza.
in reply to Kinperor

I think this certainly begs the question of exactly how narcissistic must one be to imagine that they could commit genocide while still having the moral high ground...
in reply to alaphic

I don't think they're necessarily trying to have enough moral high ground to justify a genocide, just vaguely enough factual events that they can convince people there was a legitimate reason to engage in a legitimate war, and that there's a worldwide antisemitic campaign to pretend it's not a legitimate war, and that there are enough antisemites that they've managed to capture the whole UN etc.. Whether or not that's the goal, it's a pretty widely-held belief worldwide that the Irsaeli government's obvious lies are more plausible than factual claims about Palestinian civilians dying, and everyone accusing Israel of genocide is a lying antisemite is the easiest way to reconcile the conflicting information without landing on the country whose ministers are tweeting genocidal intent and that blocks independent journalists accessing Gaza is probably doing a genocide.
in reply to alaphic

It is normal when you keep getting away with your crimes you escalate more and more and get more narcissistic
in reply to Kinperor

They didn't just let it happen, what the picture shows is all the cars Israel says Hamas burned, but Hamas does not have the means to inflict that damage, they simply do not have weapons capable of doing that. Israel mowed down their own people with apache helicopters to blame Hamas and justify the genocide.

They've been looking for an answer to the Palestinian question for 75 years, and this was just what they needed.

The thing is, none of this is new, we've had the evidence (and testimony) that they killed their own people since day one, not to mention the genocidal intent expressed nonstop and the acting on it. No one has the credibility to say they didn't know, no one can say they didn't know the extent of the genocide, no less anyone in a position of power. Just pure evil, and everyone who preached at us about human rights is still to this day celebrating and congratulating Israeli leaders. Nazis, the lot of them.

Israel mowed down their own people with apache helicopters


I'm all for shitting on Israel but what event is this referring to? All I could find were debunked stories about the IDF somehow shooting Israelis on October 7th without any Israelis noticing

in reply to glimse

It's a common IOF practice known as the Hannibal Directive.

They don't have to avoid "any Israelis noticing" when their impunity is the rule rather than the exception.

in reply to Viking_Hippie

Debunked?

twz.com/air/israeli-ah-64-apac…

There's plenty more, if you want to dig deeper.

Make some contextual analysis here. Hannibal directive + Apaches flying for hours dumping their ammo and reloading, hundreds of cars destroyed by advanced weapons Hamas does not have access to, and Israel announcing 1,500 victims before revising it down several times as they started sorting through everyone they killed and found Hamas fighters amongst them.

in reply to 3abas

Thanks, that's a different wording than I was using. I thought you were implying something different and I was mostly seeing substack blogs.

I have been pro-palestine since before all this, for what it's worth.

in reply to geneva_convenience

What are we looking at, here? Without any context at all, I see a picture of a bunch of burned out cars.
in reply to NutWrench

Uh... RPG attacks don't stop cars on mass like that

::: spoiler spoiler
This is the sort of thing advanced military aircraft with machine guns and bombs do, and I don't think Hamas has that, when they strike in October 7.

The implication is that the Zionist Entity's military won't allow any of the Israelis to be captured and would rather commit Hannibal Doctrine, which includes the possibility of killing any potential captives, than let it be the former
:::

in reply to Lemmygradwontallowme [he/him, comrade/them]

i mean, them doing this deliberately as hannibal doctrine is one possibility, the other is that panicked fascist IDF personnel who arrived at the scene just started blasting every moving thing because that's just how they're trained
in reply to huf [he/him]

suddenly we're back again at the hannibal doctrine, albeit indirectly.
in reply to vfreire85

ah yes, the question is who was in on it and who was not, i guess
in reply to NutWrench

Those are the cars that were shot to pieces by Israeli helicopters as part of the Hannibal Directive, which is an IDF doctrine that says they should kill their own citizens to prevent them being taken hostage. On Oct 7th, a large number of Israelis were fleeing the music festival in their cars and were killed by the IDF. IIRC the Israeli government later crushed all the cars before anyone could investigate them and confirm this, as it's obviously a bad look to slaughter your own civilians.
Questa voce è stata modificata (3 settimane fa)
in reply to NutWrench

Context, these are cars that contained both Palestinian and Israeli people, that were destroyed by Israel due to the Hannibal Directive.

the IDF fired on Israeli civilian hostages while they were being driven by Hamas militants into Gaza


The IDF confirmed this to be true, stating

it would not be morally sound to investigate these incidents [due to the complexity of the situation]


TLDR: Israel felt it better to kill their own citizens than to let them be taken hostage.

I’m an amnesiac and one of the first things I learned is that memories don’t really matter. The past is over, what matters is what you choose to do and not what you did. Obviously people do terrible and sometimes unforgivable things. I can sympathize with people who can’t let stuff go, but I personally just can’t be bothered by it anymore though. I have and will offer support to even my abusers.

To me, a person is how they act and what they want in the present. Lived experience affects everything a person does, the parts of a person’s past that are relevant reveal themselves in the present through how a person is.



Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America


Before a federal judge blocked Donald Trump from putting members of California’s national guard on the streets of Portland, Oregon, late on Sunday, the state’s Republican party welcomed the planned deployment in celebratory posts on social media.

“President Trump on Sunday deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon after a judge ruled that the Oregon National Guard could not be deployed to keep federal facilities and personnel in Portland safe,” Oregon Republicans wrote on their official Facebook, Instagram and X accounts.

On all three platforms, the statement was illustrated with an image that seemed designed to support Trump’s false claim that protests against immigration sweeps in Portland are so out of control that the city is “burning to the ground”. On one side of the image, a line of police officers held riot shields; on the other, a crowd of young men held up flares that lit up a night sky filled with red smoke.

On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart.

Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?


I want to make the move to Mint at the end of Win10 in a week or so, but I've heard some horror stories about how tough it can be to get Nvidia GPUs working with them. As it is I have a 4060TI and no money for an AMD GPU. If I can't get my GPU working with Linux I'm probably gonna end up having to stick with Windows untim I can afford an AMD GPU, the thought of which doesn't exactly excite me.
in reply to ssillyssadass

RTX 2080 Ti and CachyOS (Arch-based distro with an emphasis on gaming performance), most everything that should works out-of-the-box. I wouldn't stress it, try a live USB first.
Edit: also I'm using Wayland, which has been worse with NVIDIA than X11 that Mint apparently uses. So I'm pretty confident you'll be alright.

RTX5070 works almost straight out from the box on Kubuntu stable. Had to try few of the drivers from the built-in utility to find which worked, but the latest version and open one did the trick. So no, it wasn't hard to get it working properly 😀

Dell Latitude Touchpad Deadzone and Fingerprint


I recently got my hands on a Dell Latitude E7470 and installed Fedora Workstation. Even though I enabled two finger scroll (and disabled touchpad edge scroll), the right side of the touchpad still has a dead zone of considerable size. So, when I start a mouse movement too far on the right side, it wont register.

I tried a few things, like adding quirk configs, but the zone is still there. Bios had no option to disable. (I reinstalled with UEFI, prior installation was legacy uefi / bios, so I have to give it a look again).

Does someone have a way to disable the dead zone?

Also, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. From what I could research, it is a broadcom device with officials drivers for MS and Ubuntu. I tried some stuff to get this thing running, but it didn't work out. I still have to try a bios update after the reinstall. Is there a way to get this thing running under Fedora? It's not a crucial feature, but a nice to have for sure.

in reply to xtapa

So it looks like the touchpad problem is a known issue with that particular model. A web search turned up an Arch Linux forum post from 2017 with the same issue. Unfortunately, there was no solution posted.

Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right? I have a ThinkPad A475 with a PS/2 trackpad that won’t function at all in Linux unless I add i8042.reset as a GRUB argument.

Maybe see if that helps?

in reply to Fives

Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right?


Yes.

I am not an expert with GRUB at all. For some reason, this sounds very aggressive and with a high chance of side effects. Theres nothing of worth on the device though, so I guess I'll give it a try.

in reply to xtapa

If you enter it in at boot time it’s not permanent, so it’ll either work or it won’t, but it shouldn’t break anything.
in reply to xtapa

maybe playing around some values in synclient can fix it. that's how i created a dead zone in my panasonic laptop. (some area is keep touched while using keyboard so)

💙 When Smurfs™ fall in love 💙


Post could also be titled "Oh, Smurfette™, baby, come to Papa . . ."

Of course, Papa Smurf must've shaved off his beard, tossed the goofy red hat, and put on some Just for Men hair coloring . . .

Or they could be merfolk, and all this is really happening underwater—who can say for certain?

Or even—how bout this: Andorians with really great tans who both used Just for Men hair coloring and had their horns surgically removed?

If I stare at this long enough, I kind of think that Ms. Blue Ladyperson, whether Andorian, mermaid, or Smurf, might actually be strangling the guy and saying something like "Give me back my bra, goddammit! It's fucking freezing in the garden of earthly delights this time of year!"

Ted Cruz picks a fight with Wikipedia, accusing platform of left-wing bias


Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sent a letter to the nonprofit operator of Wikipedia alleging a pattern of liberal bias in articles on the collaborative encyclopedia.

"I write to request information about ideological bias on the Wikipedia platform and at the Wikimedia Foundation," Cruz wrote to Wikimedia Foundation CEO Maryana Iskander in a letter dated October 3. "Wikipedia began with a noble concept: crowdsource human knowledge using verifiable sources and make it free to the public. That's what makes reports of Wikipedia's systemic bias especially troubling."

Citing research from the conservative Manhattan Institute, Cruz wrote that "researchers have found that articles on the site often reflect a left-wing bias." Cruz alleged that "bias is particularly evident in Wikipedia's reliable sources/perennial sources list" because it describes "MSNBC and CNN as 'generally reliable' sources, while listing Fox News as a 'generally unreliable' source for politics and science. The left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center gets a top rating, but the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, is a 'blacklisted' and 'deprecated' source that Wikipedia's editors have determined 'promotes disinformation.'"

Developing countries, especially China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the US and EU relied more than before on planet-warming fossil fuels for electricity generation.

China remains way ahead in clean energy growth [...]

India experienced slower electricity demand growth and also added significant new solar and wind capacity, meaning it too cut back on coal and gas.

In contrast, developed nations like the US, and also the EU, saw the opposite trend.

Renewables make so much sense for a poor country, the only barrier is and has been initial setup cost - but a ton of solar panels, over their thirty year lifespan, will be much cheaper and far more reliable than an equivalent amount of coal or gas in generators.

Initial costs is quite an important barrier for poor countries.

Exactly. China took the leap of the century by investing in renewables, and it paid off big time. Other Global South countries are slowly following suit. Energy, digital and cultural sovereignty should be actively sought out for lest of being beholden to Western imperialism and hegemony.

I think the way we should view this is that "developed nations" means nations that have peaked in their development and are no longer capable of developing further. Meanwhile, "developing nations" are the ones where progress is happening. Everything makes a lot more sense framing it that way.

“Australians have an absolute love affair with rooftop solar,” he said. ​“We have the highest rooftop PV penetration in the world, and it’s one of the driving forces of our energy transition.”


I wonder how this trend will continue now that Feed In tariffs have been significantly cut. Seems like more and more people are focused on installation of home batteries.

My parents installed a new PV system and it's been limited to 1.5kW peak export, or about 1/10th the systems total output. Seems a shame to have so much energy going to waste. Hard limits seem like a blunt instrument to ensure grid stability, when a more intelligent system / community battery could have utilized this energy.

in reply to georift

Batteries help a lot when you have a surplus of solar power during the middle of the day, and want to distribute it to evening use. For example, here in California, where the sun is just coming up, utility-scale batteries charged during yesterday's sunshine are now supplying about 10% of the state's electricity.
