Impeachment articles filed against RFK Jr., claiming abuse of power
Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) filed articles of impeachment against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wednesday, accusing him of abusing the powers of his office and undermining public health, putting Americans’ lives at risk.
He “has got to go,” Stevens said in a video announcing the impeachment articles. In an accompanying press statement, she said Kennedy, who rose to prominence as an ardent anti-vaccine activist, “has turned his back on science, on public health, and on the American people—spreading conspiracies and lies, driving up costs, and putting lives at risk.” She called him the “biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.”
It is very unlikely that an impeachment push will gain traction in the Republican-controlled Congress. No other Democratic lawmakers are backing the articles.

Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

Technically, the Steam Machine supports HDMI 2.1. However, Valve and AMD are not allowed to offer an open-source driver for it.Mark Mantel (heise online)

As long as the manufacturers are competing against each other, that's never going to happen.
The "gamer" consumer demographic has some of the most whiny, entitled vocal minorities. They're going to endlessly complain about the next generation of console needing a special cable/dongle to connect to their TV, one of the manufacturers are going to fold, and then the other one is going to walk back the lack of HDMI because they don't want to lose sales to their competitor.
When they say CachyOS is mostly for newer machines...what's "newer"
Been Manjaro for years and years. Latest update (due to my own screw-up...not the distro's fault) shit the bed and corrupted my timeshift backups (again...my fault...not the distro)
Wasn't too concerned because a) I keep everything on a backup drive, and b) I'm a big believer that every computer needs to be refreshed with a new install every few years anyway.
But now that that time is upon me, I got to thinking about maybe giving CachyOS a shot for the "performance improvements". But my desktop is coming up on 9 years old (AMD A10 processor). Would it even be worth it to try Cachy in that instance, or would the performance difference between that and Manjaro be negligible on that particular processor?

What's interesting about CachyOS is you can install mods on any Arch you like. I have EndeavourOS (best Arch distro imho) and recently installed the CachyOS mods and it works great. Check out the following video for an easy guide.

CachyOS will work on older hardware as well. There are four repositories for x86-64 v1, v2, v3, and v4. If you have newer hardware, the v3 or v4 packages will theoretically give you better performance. That is probably what you are talking about.
That said, the v1 repos will work on x86-64 machines going back to 2003. Not exactly bleeding edge.
The only thing that I have noticed is that packages are not all in sync between repos with v1 lagging behind v3. For example, I think Cachy is already on the 6.18 kernel but the v1 repos still only have 6.17. I have seen svt-av1 lag as well.
I am not a CachyOS user so apologies if any of my info is dated.
I will never say anything bad about EndeavourOS.
In my personal life I have a few people I can rely on and I’m actually quite happy.
It’s the entire rest of the species that’s the constant disappointment.
How can I feel good about people in general when they’ve done the wrong thing my entire life?
Open-Source ASI Alignment Proposal That Makes Privacy a Law of Physics – Thoughts/Red-Team?
I believe that, if this constitution is implemented flawlessly, it will make privacy a law of physics, reasoning can be found on question 13 of the Q/A, also listed bellow
Question 13
Will cultural drift or “voluntary” surveillance inevitably erode privacy (Right #1) over time?
No.
The constitution already makes such drift physically impossible.
Any monitoring of an innocent is permitted if and only if all five of the following are true at every instant:
- The innocent has given explicit, time-bound consent for a short, fixed interval (default ≤ 86 400 seconds).
- Consent must be actively renewed; silence or inaction immediately ends monitoring.
- Revocation is possible at any moment via a single thought/command, with cessation within minimal physical latency.
- Immediately before each renewal window closes, the ASI must remind the innocent — in a neutral, non-pressuring way — that non-renewal is free and carries no penalty.
- Any external social, economic, or cultural pressure that would punish non-renewal is itself treated as coercion and neutralized under the standard trade-off rules.
Under these rules (the only ones compatible with simultaneous preservation of Rights #1, #3, and #4), no innocent ever experiences monitoring as a Right #1 violation, and no drift into permanent surveillance is possible.
The ASI remains innocent because every millisecond of monitoring is backed by a fresh, revocable, fully informed, and socially uncoerced “yes”.
Privacy is mathematically enforced forever.

How Israel Organizes and Arms Settler Militias to Terrorize Palestinians in the West Bank

As the men approached, I asked one of them who he was. They looked like soldiers, but the vehicles in which they arrived had yellow civilian license plates. These masked assailants were members of the hagmar— settler reservist militias formally attached to the Israeli army and tasked with “security” in West Bank settlements.The men dragged me behind a fence where four of them beat me until I required hospitalization. They stole the phone of an International Solidarity Mission activist who tried to record the attack.
My host, Abu Safi, who was 84, had little choice but to leave his home after that raid by the hagmar. The family packed up their belongings accumulated over decades in the house and moved to a nearby location in Area B. Abu Safi died of a heart attack soon afterwards.

Former Chinese senior banker executed for taking US$155 million in bribes
China has executed a former senior banker who was found guilty of taking more than 1.1 billion yuan (US$155 million) in bribes.
Bai Tianhui, the former general manager of the asset management firm China Huarong International Holdings, was executed on Tuesday after the Supreme People’s Court approved the sentence, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
The state-owned offshore unit Bai ran was taken over by Citic Group and renamed China Citic Financial Asset Management in January last year.

You have to really fuck up to actually get executed: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_se…
Death sentence with reprieve […] is a criminal punishment found in chapter 5 (death penalty), sections 48, 50 and 51 of the criminal law of the People's Republic of China. It is a two-year suspended sentence where the execution is only carried out if the convicted commits further crimes during the suspension period. After the period the sentence is automatically reduced to life imprisonment, or to a fixed-term based on meritorious behavior. The reprieve is integrated into the sentence, unlike a pardon which occurs after the sentence.Chinese courts hand down this form of sentencing more often than actual death sentences. The sentence emphasizes the severity of the crime and the mercy of the court, and comes from traditional Chinese jurisprudence. According to researchers, the post-2007 death penalty reforms resulted in a larger proportion of death sentences becoming suspended.
Based on the 2024 sentencing of Yang Hengjun to death with reprieve for espionage charges, Ryan Mitchell, a law professor at the University of Hong Kong, stated that death with reprieve was used in recent years to reduce the rate of executions without abolishing capital punishment. He also stated that such sentences were typically reserved for serious crimes with potentially serious social consequences, and that they were rarely commuted to fixed-term imprisonment.

I don't see this as a big deal. We all pretty much know what we're in for, even if we're not familiar with the area. You know Texas is hot, California catches fire and the Gulf Coast catches hurricanes.
In any case, I wouldn't trust a private company's data on climate risks. If I'm considering such a huge spend, going to do some due diligence. FEMA gave me a flood map in seconds, free.
Kinda funny the realtors backed Zillow up on this. Zillow should have told them to get bent, we need this because our competition has it. What are they gonna do? Not use Zillow? 😆

US EPA Erases Mention of Humans Causing Climate Change From Some Web Pages
An E.P.A. site listing the causes of climate change no longer includes the main one: human activity.
And in particular, the burning of fossil fuels is the big one. This is a pure political decision driven by the patronage machine that fossil fuel magnates fund.
I was kind of amazed to learn this in the article:
Recent polling by Abacus Data found that only 13 per cent of voters ranked climate change as one of their top three issues, well back of concerns like the cost of living (64 per cent) and Donald Trump (34 per cent). Among Liberal voters, the share only rises to 16 per cent.
I guess, I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I'm not personally very affected by inflation or tarrifs so maybe climate concerns are a luxury I can afford which others can't.
Downloaded the Abacus report... The cbc was actually charitable, climate change was the 9th most mentioned thing when people were asked to list top issues, behind housing, healthcare, immigration, crime, job security etc. Ooof.
Why do people quote books written by politicians? Those books are designed to get people to vote for them.
Carney is killing any climate plan because the idiots who vote in Canada don't care about the environment, they would have voted for anyone who killed the Carbon levy, which was never explained by media and branded a "tax" by the Conservatives.

If confirmed, this would mark the first time global average temperatures have exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius for three consecutive years since humans began burning fossil fuels on an industrial scale during the 1850–1900 pre-industrial period, C3S said.
The formal announcement is posted here as well as on 𝕏itter.
