Its a general strike. The first in the US in living memory

A list of businesses is here

House Democrats' support for impeaching Kristi Noem is exploding


cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/41921279

Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.

That's an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump's second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.

Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem's impeachment.

"As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people's civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows," she said.

New York nurses continue to strike in frigid weather as Mamdani shows support


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/42097705

Fri 23 Jan 2026 07.00 EST
Almost 15,000 nurses who work for three separate hospital systems have been on strike since 12 January, holding out for increased staffing, better safety in hospitals, and improved healthcare benefits. The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) has pointed to the giant pay packages that hospital CEOs have received, at a time when nurses say there are too few of them to adequately care for patients.

The strike has pulled support from Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, and Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist Vermont senator, both of whom joined striking nurses outside a Mount Sinai hospital on Tuesday.

Great news! Anyone using Guix as their daily driver? How is your experience?
in reply to finalaccountforreal

I do; 'been my daily driver for 2 years (maybe 3?), now.

My experience has, generally, been great. You get the same minimal instability you'd get from any rolling distro but the stability you get from it being declarative and reproducible is fantastic; I, also, like being able to use my favorite programming language for my config. (and pretty much everywhere).

in reply to finalaccountforreal

Been daily-driving Guix on 3 different machines for about 3 years. Love the declarative configs and rollbacks, and being able to easy share configuration with Scheme snippets between machines. I know that once I get something working on one, I have it permanently working for all my machines.
in reply to surpador

I know that once I get something working on one, I have it permanently working for all my machines.


That sounds awesome

in reply to finalaccountforreal

The tradeoff is that there's a Guixy way to do things that might not be obvious from the upstream docs, so could be harder to get e.g. a service up and running initially, but for me the reproducibility makes it a good tradeoff.





NixOS + Niri: Steam fails to launch after copying text anywhere (Wayland clipboard lock)


OS: NixOS config

1. I run wl-copy --clear, or
2. Close the app that owns the clipboard

Freetube flatpak wayland AMD - hardware acceleration anyone?


running the stuff in the title, tried a buncha switches for chromium/electron stuff but still the load mesured with e.g. amdgpu_top doesn't show "Media" usage. playing other stuff (VLC, Dragon, mpv) shows "Media" usage, which means those are using hardware acceleration.

edit: in the meantime tried the portable version as well, same results so it isn't a flatpak issue.

edit 2: as @thingsiplay@lemmy.ml found, running portable and flatpak with --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks under X11/Xwayland produces hardware accelerated video. that doesn't seem to be the case with wayland, the media graph stays at 0% and there's a buncha dropped frames with e.g. 4K video.

Stop using flatpack for open source stuff people, i will get tagged as the anti-flatpack guy but there is 3 threads a week for stuff like this.

Flatpack solves the wrong problem for the wrong people. Stop recommending it, stop using it and spread the word.

glitching doesn't like this.

if you'd read the thread you'd see it's not a flatpak issue. also if you spell it correctly maybe people would take you seriously.



Forza Horizon 6 - Official Gameplay Teaser Trailer


in reply to simple

As someone who wants to approach car racing games, what would be the suggestion to start with?
I remember I played need for speed undercover and shift many years ago and I enjoyed them (shift was one of my favorite)
But I haven't been in the scene for a long time. I just want to casually play, because I kinda like the genre and I was thinking about getting a steering wheel eventually.

Any recommendations?

in reply to LievitoPadre

Need for Speed Heat and Unbound are decent, usually go on sale for dirt cheap. They are much more arcadey (which isn't a bad thing)

Forza Horizon is a great simcade experience imo. It's a good blend of realism and arcade style driving mechanics.

Dirt Rally 2 if you want to try rally style racing.

Racing games cover such a large variety of styles and levels or realism so it really depends what you like in a racing game.

There are proper sim racers but they are much harder to get into if you are just getting started (Assetto Corsa, iRacing, Richard Burns Rally to name a few)

in reply to anyera

Thanks for the suggestions!
If I'd go with a Forza horizon, which one should I pick?
Do you know if there's any Linux support for the game you mentioned?
in reply to LievitoPadre

I actually had a lot of fun at first with FH5 in the exact same position. The unlocks flow fast and there's a ton of stuff to tinker around with and explore, and the racing itself is very beginner-friendly. The difficulty settings and assists are very granular and can be fine-tuned to suit your skill level.

I particularly appreciated that it avoided a linear progression system and didn't make you start off on the slowest cars and slowly work your way up to the good ones, as it'll give you some insane hypercars right off the bat. The upgrade system and vehicle tiering also ensures that the "slower" cars are never truly obsolete. You can drive what your like, and the game never punishes you for it (in singleplayer, at least).

However, once I got through most of the single player content available, I started to sour on it at a certain point. The constant drip feed of new content in the weekly challenges was fun at first, but felt like a chore after a while, and it definitely takes advantage of FOMO, as the new unlocks in a given week are exclusive to that week and can't be obtained anywhere else, unless buying them from another player at often exorbitant rates. They do re-run previous exclusive vehicles in the secondary challenges sometimes, but there's no telling how long you'll have to wait for a particular car to come around again if you miss it the first time.

So yeah, your mileage may vary, so to speak, but I did put something like 300-400 hours into it before I dropped it for good, and I don't regret most of that.

in reply to jedibob5

Yeah well 300h is a lot, it's gonna be hard for me to reach that level. That's a good option, I'll definitely check it out.
However, I don't understand how the game works in terms of cars availability and if the base game is enough since there are thousands of dlc and in addition you, as well as others, always mention this weekly unlock thingy.

Because western media is so reliable./s

The word "capture" is a shibboleth. Maduro was not a combatant, they were not at war, he is not a criminal. He was not captured he was Kidnapped.

You know this is one of the differences I notice in the mindset between people living under capitalism in the west, and people living under socialism in China. The former tend to be very pessimistic about technological progress because the first thought is always 'how will this be used against me,' and Chinese people are generally excited about new technology because their thought is 'can't wait to see how this will improve my life going forward.'




[Video] Massive 100.000 man protest march by Palestinians in the occupied 1948 territories against Israel


Context

“The [Arab] public has no hope, they understand that the prime minister and the rest of the government ministers have abandoned them,” said Hadash-Ta’al MK Aida Touma-Sliman, who marched in the Sakhnin demonstration.

Speaking to The Times of Israel, she said the unprecedented number of people in attendance was only possible after the end of the two-year war in Gaza. As long as the war continued, she said, the Arab public “felt it was hard to talk about their own hardships.”

“Ben Gvir is succeeding in advancing a policy in which criminal organizations are a subcontractor for him,” she claimed. “He stands by and watches how criminal organizations control our lives and frighten the public. Rather than having political goals, they have turned us into people who are just trying to survive.”

After the march concluded in Sakhnin, national and local Arab leaders met in the local city hall to discuss how to sustain the momentum that led to the strike and unprecedented demonstration, which Zahalka boasted had 100,000 attendees.



The lost art of XML — mmagueta


There exists a peculiar amnesia in software engineering regarding XML. Mention it in most circles and you will receive knowing smiles, dismissive waves, the sort of patronizing acknowledgment reserved for technologies deemed passé. "Oh, XML," they say, as if the very syllables carry the weight of obsolescence. "We use JSON now. Much cleaner."


"Open source Windows" ReactOS is now 30 years old


ReactOS is a rather interesting open-source project that is considered by many to be a direct and free drop-in replacement for Windows, especially if you don't want to be locked in to Microsoft's proprietary ecosystem. One of its goals is to allow customers to run Windows apps and drivers in an open-source environment (reminiscent of Windows XP) that they can trust, and it has made many advancements in this regard. It supports Microsoft's FAT file system, Registry caching, native .zip handling, and is even capable of running Microsoft's iconic Hover! in fullscreen. Now, the project is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Not even close. They basically added some basic restrictions that are easy to bypass and geoblocked the feature in countries that started investigations into it.

Revealed: Australian taxpayers subsidising the IDF, illegal settlements in Israel


Australian taxpayers are subsidising donations to Israel’s military and to organisations operating illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian Territories through a network of registered charities with deductible gift recipient (DGR) status, an MWM investigation has found.

Under Australia’s tax system, donations to DGR-endorsed charities reduce a donor’s taxable income, meaning the public indirectly contributes to the charity’s activities. Documents reviewed by MWM indicate that several Australian charities have raised and transferred funds to Israeli military units and to settlement-linked projects in occupied Palestinian territory.

The Chai Charitable Foundation reported more than $19 million in revenue in 2024, with the vast majority of its funding directed overseas. Registered with the ACNC in 2017, Chai says its purpose is "to alleviate poverty, distress and suffering in Australia and internationally."

While the charity says it supports low-income families and “civilian victims of terror” in Israel, it has also hosted fundraising campaigns linked to organisations that openly provide equipment to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
