"The bezzle", Cory Doctorow. Capitolo 8.
in reply to vonblubba

The image shows a close-up of an e-reader screen displaying a text excerpt. The text is on page 8 and reads:

"Let me give you a little life tip. If you are ever tempted to hold out hope that life will get better for America's prisoners, in even the tiniest ways, avoid that temptation.

America will never make life better for the millions of souls it has imprisoned. Never. It is not in our character. To be an American is to live with the festering background knowledge that you are in a land that imprisons more of its people than any country in the history of the world—a land with more prisoners than Stalin's USSR or Hu Jintao's China or P. W. Botha's Apartheid South Africa."

At the bottom of the screen, there is a progress indicator showing "46%" and a timer indicating "Time left in chapter: 17 mins." The e-reader's screen is black-framed, and the text is in a serif font, with the page number "8" prominently displayed at the top.

Our household living room computer runs Debian 12 and KDE and we each have our own sessions and use CTRL-ATL-F7 CTRL-ATL-F8 ... to switch between sessions.
Generally it works really well, but every so often, a Plasma process consumes all the RAM causing the PC to lock up. Sometimes it recovers, but the fastest thing to do is a hard reboot.
Any suggestions how I might find out what is going on and how to fix? The PC is usually so nailed, that is it is not possible to run any commands.

sorry, I have no idea. Maybe you coukd troubleshoot connecting to the pc with another one via ssh. If it's locked by load, you should be able to log in and see an htop anyway... If it's a real freeze, this doesn't help.

Anyway, I was writing this message to suggest a different solution: if it's a shared pc and there's no personal data/personal logged account, it's probably a lot more efficient to just use the KDE activities.

Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Sonnenuntergangsszene. Der Himmel über dem Horizont zeigt eine sanfte Farbverläufe von tiefem Blau zu einem warmen Orange und Rot, was auf den Sonnenuntergang hinweist. Die Silhouette der Landschaft, einschließlich Bäume und Hügel, ist dunkel vor dem Hintergrund des abnehmenden Lichts. Im Vordergrund sind die Umrisse von Häusern und Bäumen zu sehen, die sich gegen den Himmel abzeichnen. Die Farben des Himmels wechseln sich sanft ab, und einige Sterne sind bereits sichtbar, was auf die zunehmende Dunkelheit hinweist. Die Szene vermittelt eine ruhige und friedliche Atmosphäre, die die Schönheit der Natur bei Sonnenuntergang einfängt.

Dear Friends,
#Insects are going extinct. I live in the #suburbs. I leave portions of the yard to their own devices, removing invasives as I find them to help. This stump hosted a termite swarm just before they flew off. Birds gulped them out of the air. It was fun to watch, but couldn't get a good shot! Sorry!

I have noticed that Objectivists, self-described "radical capitalists", truly believe the top panel is how it works. Furthermore, even if it was shown to them that the second panel is how it works, they would say that drinking diluted lemonade (or urine), is the individual choice made by the consumer.

Israel urges ICC to drop arrest warrants against PM


The Hague (AFP) – Israel has asked the International Criminal Court to dismiss its arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant while ICC judges reconsider complex jurisdictional questions.

In a 14-page document dated May 9 but posted on the ICC website on Monday, Israel argued the warrants issued in November were null and void while judges weigh a previous Israeli challenge to the ICC's jurisdiction in the case.

In a ruling that made headlines around the world, the ICC found "reasonable grounds" to believe Netanyahu and Gallant bore "criminal responsibility" for war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the war in Gaza.

The court also issued a war crimes warrant against top Hamas commander Mohammed Deif over the October 7 attacks that sparked the conflict. The case against Deif was dropped in February after his death.

Israel, not one of the ICC's 125 members, challenged the court's jurisdiction but judges on the ICC's "Pre-Trial Chamber" dismissed the bid and issued the arrest warrants.

But last month, the ICC's Appeals Chamber ruled the Pre-Trial Chamber was wrong to dismiss the challenge and ordered it to look again in detail at Israel's arguments.

Israel says now that the arrest warrants should not stay in place while this complex and lengthy process is ongoing.

"Unless and until the Pre-Trial Chamber has ruled on the substance of the jurisdiction challenge... the prerequisite jurisdictional finding does not exist," Israel argued.

"It follows that the arrest warrants issued on 21 November 2024 must be withdrawn or vacated pending the Pre-Trial Chamber's determination of Israel's jurisdictional challenge."

Israel and its allies reacted furiously to the warrants issued on November 21, Netanyahu describing it as an "anti-Semitic decision" and then US president Joe Biden slamming it as "outrageous."

Technically, any member of the ICC is required to arrest Netanyahu if he travels there, although the court has no independent power to enforce warrants.

Israel argued in its submission that Netanyahu could theoretically be arrested while the court was still weighing whether it had jurisdiction in the case.

"Depriving persons of their liberty on the basis of an arrest warrant issued in the absence of the necessary legal pre-conditions is an egregious violation of fundamental human rights and of the rule of law," Israel argued.

Allowing the warrants to stay in place during the deliberations "is unlawful and undermines the legitimacy of the court," said Israel.

"Depriving persons of their liberty on the basis of an arrest warrant issued in the absence of the necessary legal pre-conditions is an egregious violation of fundamental human rights and of the rule of law," Israel argued.


So by this statement all the Israel's prisons full of Palestinian hostages jailed but not charged with any crime should be freed, right?

The State Department must release the memo we’ve FOIA’d showing there were not sufficient grounds for revoking Rümeysa Öztürk’s visa.

The government is not allowed to hide information to conceal wrongdoing, which is exactly what’s happening here.

The release of Israeli-American captive Edan Alexander, following direct negotiations between the U.S. and Hamas, comes after the Trump administration had already caught Israel off guard by agreeing to halt hostilities with Yemen’s Ansar Allah.
