Normally when I read a book I don't like to know too much about the author. But, at last I've had to go find out who is this "Frederick Philip Grove."

He's mostly famous, not for his science fiction book "Consider Her Ways" about ants-- but his books about "life on the prairie" in Canada.

This sounds dreary to me. But I will check it out.

"Consider Her Ways" was the last fiction book he wrote and I don't think any review I've read of it understands it at all.

myrmepropagandist

In fact, in reviews of Grove's life's works this book is often skipped over, as if it's some kind of embarrassment.

I will say that if you don't know a LOT about ants the book is probably a bit confusing. Grove assumes you know what all of the various species of ants he mentions look like.

It has an unreliable ant narrator and many jokes that are ant-centric.

in reply to myrmepropagandist

myrmepropagandist

For example, the ants encounter a myrmecologist who they regard as a hazard, hapless and baffling. The myrmecologist rides a bicycle: they call him "Wheeler."

*waggles eyebrows*

WHEELER? Get it?

It's this guy:

antwiki.org/wiki/Wheeler,_Willโ€ฆ

Wheeler was a contemporary of Grove. I wonder if they met?

...or if, like me, he just got sick of seeing the guy's name on every ant species.

(Wheeler is no slouch, coined the term 'superorganism' )

If you know anything of Mr. Grove let me in on it.

That reminds of this book I read by a Norwegian, called "Rat" I think (it was a long time ago) but the story is told entirely from the POV of a rat. Like, an actual Norway rat. Not an anthropomorphized rat, just a rat. It's surreal and terrifying and very stream of conciousness - but the conciousness is not very human at all. Very strange and confusing book, especially to a teenager who like SF and war stories more than anything else.

It occurred to me today that AI is the result of the human desire for a god who is all-knowing and yet endlessly affirming - a god who never tells you you're wrong. Even when you are.

The result of trusting this false god is deception, disorientation, mental decay, and even death - reminiscent of the work of the father of lies "who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy."

I much prefer Jesus. He always tells the truth, even if it's not what you want to hear.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint". I thought it was mocking my running accident last week. But then I saw this quote from Proverbs 26:27 "If you set a trap for others, you will get caught in it yourself. If you roll a boulder down on others, it will crush you instead." Only now, do I realise, it is telling me to rest and relax and watch cartoons! The bible is full of wisdom for every situation!

Trump is basically abusive, he is abusing/gaslighting all of us. Our times are so distorted that we have all become super quick to detect individual abuse (โ€œhe is gaslighting you โ€; โ€œyou need to leave himโ€), but absolutely noone in MSM is calling out Trump in this way. They are all co-creating Trump world, gaslighting for him, reporting on him as if he is a normal person.

Sometimes, my computer is very slow and sometimes really fast. Fedora 43.

Hi everyone!

My daily driver is a Surface Go 1 running Fedora with 8GB of ram and 128GB of storage. It is always hooked up to a Philips 273B screen via USB-C.

Most of the time, it is really fast and a perfect tiny Linux and Gnome machine easily hookable to a big screen for when you're not travelling.

However, sometimes, after installing updates but maybe not always, it is slow as hell. Sometimes, detaching the Surface from the big screen and hooking it again, solves the issue, but not always. It is a behavior I already had when I was using Ubuntu and I've had on Fedora since version 36.

Here are some useful printscreens from HTOP and the ressource management system:

#high cpu usage

#low cpu usage

I thought that maybe installing the Surface kernel would stop the issue, but it didn't..

Sometimes it's annoying enough to make me just want to use my wife's MacBook Pro 2012 running Fedora as a daily driver but the form factor is less practical.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Apart from what others said about power/throttling, I wonder if the filled up memory during the upgrade (or other memory-heavy use) pushes some central pages to swap and then they stay there after?

After the upgrade and you have plenty of free memory again you can force back everything to RAM by temporarily disabling swap:

swapoff $swapdev && swapon $swapdev

To list swap devices, just run swapon.

Also switching to an X11 window manager can be quite a lot snappier than modern GNOME for older hardware. You could try Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, or KDE with the X session.

If it's not throttling/thernals, I wouldn't be surprised if those two together is what made things worse after migrating dist.

If you've been swapping heavily over time you might also want to check disk health with smartctl and check that you don't have related errors in dmesg.

If you press tab in htop you can also see if there is high IO load going on.

This looks like a hardware issue.
I'd guess at overheating, or an error with the CPU's energy management.
First thing I'd do is look if there's a BIOS update available.
Then install lm-sensors (there's also a GUI frontend called psensor and a gnome shell extension) to show CPU temperature, and check if they're too high. If they aren't, you could set your CPU to always use max power and see if that fixes it, but it will reduce battery life.
Or try a different distro from a live USB and see if that makes a difference.

Finally some good news in the housing crisis: Melbourne, our most liveable city, is now the cheapest capital to rent a house in Australia โ€” average house rents actually dropped 1.7% to $580/week while everywhere else keeps climbing.
Why? Victoria's stronger supply of new homes + 'harsh' tax settings on investors (higher fees, vacancy taxes pushing properties onto the market) have scared off speculators and forced more realistic pricing for renters. Investors fleeing to NSW? Good โ€” let them speculate elsewhere.
The real headline should've been: 'How to tax property to benefit all โ€” Victoria leads the way'

Only one capital city in Australia has seen the cost of renting a house go down over the last 12 months.
