Falls ihr euch fragt, warum immer mehr Bull-Shit-Jobs entstehen und die sinnlose ja sogar schädliche #Bürokratie immer weiter zunimmt, dann hat Dirk hier die kurze aber zutreffende Antwort:
So the world is celebrating the election victory of a former Goldman Sachs executive, twice central bank manager as our liberator from unfettered greed and the whims of oligarchy. Ironic, isn't it?
Plus he's saying how great it is that we had Brexit, so Canada can sign a bilateral trade deal with the UK. He was, of course, Governor of the Bank of England when Brexit happened, and was very much against it...

This graph from Krugman’s latest is basically the “Genesis of the Daleks” theory of politics: a common enemy unites disparate groups.
Note that conservative poll numbers declined on a moderate amount in response to Trump. The sudden spike in Liberal support came at the expense of •all• the other parties.
Like it or not, this is what defeats fascists: people of even bitterly opposed political ideologies forming a united front.

I will at this time repeat my analogy that AI vendors have convinced a whole bunch of executives / managers that cardboard toilets are ready for prime time, and now or soon — perhaps after a few rounds of hype-driven plumber layoffs — there’s not only extra work for plumbers, but also extra work for people who can repair damage to ceilings and floors.
In this analogy, the sewage-stained ceiling and floors are:
- lost institutional knowledge - damaged morale - garbled / poisoned internal data - lost customer trust, which is bitterly difficult to regain - code that must be drastically rewritten, maybe from scratch - etc
…and if the BS goes on long enough:
- loss of skill development; a clog in the professional pipelines that gradually grow juniors into experts - erosion of the very human-made training data that LLMs rely upon
Per the article, at least in Denmark (which is where the researchers did their investigation) there hasn't (at this point) been any significant impact on hiring, layoffs or wages ... but also not a huge impact on productivity.
Wer die Gelegenheit dazu hat sollte sich die BBC Doku von Louis Theroux "The Settlers" über die Siedlerbewegung in der von #Israel besetzten #WestBank anschauen.
Sehr erhellend die Leute einfach mal reden zu lassen und sehr bedrückend sich die unerträglichen Bedingungen die sie den Einheimischen auferlegen anzuschauen.
Jede Unterstützung der israelischen Armee, der Wirtschaft in den Siedlungen und israelischen Regierung ist immer auch die direkte und indirekte Unterstützung der Siedlerbewegung, und damit eine klare Unterstützung von Völkerrechtsverletzungen.
Wer etwas anders behauptet der spricht, der lügt oder hat einen völlig falschen Eindruck der Situation vor Ort.
Very few things in the world make me want to riot like this situation... It's in my state now. Feds trampling over local law.
An immigrant gets into a fight and beats up his roommate. He shows up to defend himself in Milwaukee county court. ICE shows up to deport him. A judge from corthouse sent the fella out a back door.
It's just.... what is law supposed to fuckin mean?
The guy gets in a fight. Cops show up, they dont deport him. Shows up in court like a decent person, to face the music or plead his innocence or whatever... judge doesnt deport him. But goddamn feds show up anyway.
And this goddamn article... "Liberal justices control the court 4-3"... wtf does that mean? Why must everyone try to boil down everything to black and white?
so that instead of discussing issues you can pick if you like black more or white. and while you ignore actual issues, black and white slowly become the same thing. not you you, of course. i mean all of us. the way we're being trained/have been trained.
while i am sometimes really slow on my cad designs, there is a reason for that. good design can save you a huge amount of fabrication time. so although i don't really like to just sit there staring into space trying to figure stuff out, i guess it's better than wasting time building some piece of garbage that doesn't work right
Watching Trump making Terry Moran squirm like a bitch on ABC NEWS special interview is priceless. Moran made a big deal about the MS-13 tattoo on the infamous Maryland man. Trump wasn’t having it. Moran quickly tried to move on. Trump didn’t let him. He laid it out. Beautiful to watch.
Colors don’t just beautify—they shape emotions, drive actions, and keep users engaged. For businesses eyeing more conversions, choosing the right palette blends creativity with psychology. Here’s how to make it happen.
Ever landed on a website and felt a sudden urge to click “add to cart” or “join now”? That’s color casting its spell. Colors don’t just beautify—they shape emotions, drive actions, and keep users engaged. For businesses eyeing more conversions, choosing the right palette blends creativity with psychology. Here’s how to make it happen.
Color Theory Explained
Color theory is your guide to crafting hues that captivate. It’s the foundation for visuals that leave a mark. The essentials:
Primary colors (red, blue, yellow) are your starting point.
Secondary colors (green, orange, purple) blend those primaries.
Complementary colors (like orange and blue) sit opposite on the color wheel, ideal for sharp contrast.
But don’t play it too safe. Stellar web design services bend these basics to fit a brand’s essence. A trendy startup might pair electric purple with black, while a heritage brand opts for muted gold and navy. The key is mixing classic rules with modern trends, like bold gradients or clean single-color schemes.
The Power of Color Psychology
Colors hit you fast. Red screams “act now!”—think flash sales. Blue radiates trust, a favorite for corporate brands. Green signals growth or eco-friendliness. But context changes the game.
Yellow’s perfect for a toy brand’s CTA but feels wrong for a luxury spa, where soft ivory or deep emerald shines. Your audience and product steer the choice. This is where web design services stand out, nailing the nuance. Data shows 90% of snap judgments about products are color-driven, so picking hues that resonate is critical.
A talented website designer starts with the goal: What action do we want? Then they choose shades that guide users subtly. Think bright reds and oranges for fast-food apps to spark hunger, or calming blues and greens for meditation platforms to feel serene.
Palettes That Convert
Want users clicking like it’s a contest? Your palette needs harmony and intent. Try this:
60% main color: Your brand’s defining hue.
30% secondary shade: Adds balance (like white with slate grey).
10% accent color: For buttons or highlights—vivid but tasteful.
Tools like Coolors or Adobe Color simplify the process, but human intuition elevates it. AI can suggest trendy combos, but it lacks the audience insight a pro website designer brings.
Contrast is a must. Light text on a pale background? A strain to read. WebAIM’s Contrast Checker keeps things clear. Accessibility matters—4% of people have color vision issues, so pair similar hues with textures (like waves versus dots) in visuals like graphs.
Real-World Impact
Check these out:
Retail: H&M’s red buttons pop against clean white, nudging purchases.
Wellness: Soothing greens and soft beiges in yoga apps feel calming.
Tech: Dark themes with neon green accents scream “next-gen.”
Web design services lean on data. A/B testing showed a button color swap from green to yellow boosted conversions by 19%. Small tweaks, big results.
The Human Advantage
Design tools promise “ideal” palettes, but great color choices tell a story. A website designer digs into your brand’s heart, crafting visuals that connect. AI might churn out a mockup, but humans add the soul.
Pros still use tech smartly. Plugins flag low-contrast issues; others analyze competitor hues for fresh angles. Combine tech’s speed with human spark, and you’re unstoppable. Designers often pitch multiple palette options, linking each to your mission before finalizing.
Final Takeaway
Skip the dull templates. Smart color choices turn scrollers into buyers. Hire web designer Singapore or, if DIY-ing, keep it sharp: High contrast, focused palettes, and hues that stir the right feelings.
Your site’s colors aren’t just pretty—they’re your silent closer. Let them work.

Sweet jeezus that was rough. However things were made infinitely more difficulty by a self-inflicted goof on my part (that's what I get for not trusting the output the AI gave me and remarkably it wasn't ChatGPT but Google Gemini. I had the wrong Ubuntu "release" (jammy instead of noble) in my apt sources). No wonder I couldn't reinstall anything!
Any how.
All fixed. But my networking might be a bit screwed up now since I had to set everything up manually in root's CLI.
I'm actually not 100% sure mutter isn't used by cinnamon as well, since it's built on top of GNOME (tech), but that sounds rough alright. Nothing a reinstall and a #backup recovery doesn't fix though, I'm guessing. That's why I love #linux , even if you mess it up real bad you're not at the end of the world as one would be with other OS's
I deleted all references to mutter and things so far are fine.
I didn't do anything though. That's what pisses me off. Every app that is a Flatpak I use it. The last thing I installed was openweb-ui and that was with pipx.
I've come to understand that I can just use the grease that comes from cooking ground beef to fry other things. With this knowledge I have become unstoppable
I still don't have a desktop environment. I had to configure my Ethernet interface via the CLI (man my command line kung fu is rusty) now I'm trying to reinstall the entire cinnamon-desktop-environment.

I got me a cute little portable CO2 monitor, as part of my "I am immunocompromised and don't want to get sick 8 weeks at a time from 'minor' illnesses that don't even give other people symptoms" lifestyle. In addition to wearing a mask in enclosed public spaces, thus making me look like an idiot and/or crazy person (or "shitlib" as @polarisera would say), this little device will tell me when to run away from poorly ventilated/overly exhaled-in rooms.
It displayed 789 when I first brought it into my office, so I opened a window and turned on the ceiling fan and now it's down to 567. Fun!
"They found that when carbon dioxide levels rose independently, arsenic levels in the rice kernels barely increased. When measuring the arsenic concentrations with an increase in temperature, arsenic levels rose noticeably higher. However, when heat and extra carbon dioxide were combined, the arsenic levels surged far more than either factor alone, which the authors called a 'synergistic increase.'"
Rice already contains arsenic, a naturally occurring toxin. But climate change is supercharging the danger with hotter, high-carbon dioxide conditions dramatically increasing arsenic levels.

America has the world by the “balls!” The idea that we are NOT in the driver’s seat with Trump’s tariffs is laughable. Also, he’s going to get us out of our role as Europe’s "perennial protector.” This pack of crooks have been living off of America since the end of WWII!
China, the European Union, Mexico, and Canada are among the United States’ largest trading partners and some of the most vocal opponents of the new tariffs. Their leaders and citizens try to create the illusion that they can do without the U.S.
"Since WWII, the U.S. has effectively subsidized Europe’s defense, carrying the majority of NATO’s military burden.

The ultimate list in which order to watch the best of the #StarWars universe 😀
After watching a lot of terrible TV #series with which #Disney tried to exploit the Star Wars #franchise, I can proudly present this list to you today. It will give you the ultimate Star Wars #entertainment so you can truly enjoy the #story.
The claim that the CIA has "casually released documents" stating that we live in an energy hologram and that astral projection is real is a mix of popular conspiracy theories and misinterpretations of declassified documents. While the CIA has indeed declassified many documents related to paranormal research, remote viewing, and other unconventional topics, the interpretation that this confirms we live in a hologram or that astral projection is scientifically proven is not supported by mainstream science.
### What the CIA Actually Released
1. **Remote Viewing and the Stargate Project** The CIA funded and declassified documents related to the **Stargate Project**, a program that explored **remote viewing**-the claimed ability to perceive distant or unseen targets using extrasensory perception (ESP). These documents are available publicly and show the agency's interest in psychic phenomena during the Cold War. However, the results were inconclusive and often criticized for lack of scientific rigor.
2. **No Official Confirmation of "Energy Hologram" Reality** The idea that reality is a hologram comes from theoretical physics concepts like the **holographic principle**, which is a complex and speculative theory about the nature of the universe. This concept is not something the CIA has officially endorsed or confirmed.
3. **Astral Projection** Astral projection is a metaphysical concept where a person's consciousness is said to travel outside their physical body. While it has been studied in parapsychology and mentioned in some documents related to psychic research, it remains a subjective experience without scientific consensus or empirical proof.
- **Skeptical Analysis**: The James Randi Educational Foundation and other skeptical organizations have analyzed claims about remote viewing and astral projection extensively.
### Summary
- The CIA has declassified documents on psychic phenomena and remote viewing but has not confirmed that reality is an energy hologram or that astral projection is objectively real. - These topics remain speculative, with no scientific consensus. - If you want to read the original documents, the CIA’s FOIA Reading Room is the best place to start.
If you want, I can help you find specific documents or summarize key findings from the Stargate Project or related research.
If we understood the true nature of reality, you, I, the CIA, Trump, Elon, the Libtards, anyone, the struggle would not be ongoing. The fact that it is means we all collectively don't.

Never let a #Linux user tell you that Linux is easier or better than #Windows.
Rebooted my workstation and went to login and was presented with a completely new and foreign desktop environment. One I have never seen before, didn't know how to navigate, and have no idea where it came from or how it got installed.
Worse yet my previous desktop environment is missing from the Gnome/ Cinnamon login window.
So now I'm completely reinstalling the cinnamon desktop environment completely from scratch.
Frustrating as hell.
Say what you want about Windows or Mac but at least I never had to worry about my entire computer's user interface going tits up on me.
did you figure out what happened? (A while back after a fresh Linux install my desktop just… disappeared. I had to hot key in to tty 1 and reassociate my login and desktop environment with my display interface :0, at least that is how I understand it!)
no in trying to get things reinstalled of course this happens at the end of the month where my "unlimited" internet suddenly acts like it's not unlimited so to make matters worse my Internet is acting up too
I DID IT. I finally had enough music to make an album on Bandcamp. I have no subscribers, one album with 9 tracks on it. W00t! #music seafury.bandcamp.com/album/we-…
Quite a few listeners I see. Congrats on the drop. Currently listening to it.
Q1: Did Pete have an influence on your composition for tracks 2 & 3? I kept thinking about him listening. Could almost hear him (with lots of mates).
Q2: I find sustained notes (higher than -20dB) especially in the 610-680Hz range to be painful to listen to. Is that just me (my hearing isn’t what it use to be)?
Overall impression is, well, atmospheric 😀. I will have another listen when reading/writing (at a lower volume) later to see if I it feels different.
I bought an old System 80 from the vintage computer market (it’s a clone of the TRS-80 model 1 that was popular in the antipodes it its day). Like many of these machines it had been lovingly hobbyist-upgraded. This one had a second bank of RAM chips piggybacked atop the factory chips, with chip select lines free-form routed above the mainboard in tinned copper wire; this was a common mod, just like today computers from the store were near-criminally under resourced with RAM. Less typical was the pentagonal arrangement of inductor coils, the copper coils apparently connected with silver (not tin, actual Argentum) wire. Not clear what this mod does, let’s see if she boots.
