what makes neofascism so obscene and galling is that, whereas classical fascism grew out of the calamities of war, disease, immiseration and revolution, neofascism comes out of an era of unprecedented peace, abundance, freedom, and security

many fascists experienced world-historic hardship and trauma; neofascists are the softest, most cosseted, privilege-saturated children of first world comfort zones

fascists went through the crucible of the trenches; neofascists went through the crucible of gamergate

Comparer des émissions de GES à la cycle court (végétation) avec des GES à cycle ultra long (fossiles) est une erreur de débutant que commettent trop de “chercheurs”.


Je fais très bien la différence, mais on peut parfaitement "miner" les ressources à cycle court. Le chauffage au bois industriel dans le système tel qu'il existe est une aberration.

Ben oui ... il faut juste ne pas prélever plus que ce que la nature peut produire, rien n'est infini.

Le chauffage au bois industriel dans le système tel qu’il existe est une aberration.


Pas complètement d'accord, je connais des forêts qui sont parfaitement gérées en bois de chauffage et/ou en bois d’œuvre. Et même remarque que ci-dessus : il ne faut pas consommer plus que la production naturelle.

Santé menstruelle : un tabou qui freine l’avenir des filles


Des millions de filles et de femmes dans le monde vivent leurs règles dans la précarité, le silence ou l’humiliation. Parce que les menstruations restent taboues, elles entraînent de fortes inégalités sociales et de genre et génèrent des risques pour la santé. Pour le Planning familial et Plan international, « faire du droit à la santé menstruelle une réalité pour tous·tes, c’est faire un pas décisif vers l’égalité. Il est temps de le franchir. »

If you think about productivity, you can't help but think that having the default state of your computer being an image with a few icons on it is less than stellar. For opening files, it will never be tidy enough to give you access to all you need, you need a launcher or a folder structure, meaning the desktop is bad at this. For opening apps, having visual shortcuts on the desktop is a duplicate of whatever panel or launcher you have.

Next are launchers: start menus, app grids, app lists, whatever else. If you think about it, these things aren't really efficient: you have to either scroll through a list of categories, click one, then click the app you want, or you have to scroll an even longer list of programs sorted by name, which makes no sense since most app names have no relation to what they do.

Most of these menus or grids thus added favourites, so you can place your preferred apps in a special place, but in a small menu, you'll never have enough room. This inefficiency is also why most app grids and menus implement a text field that's active by default, so you can type the name of the app you're looking for. Which also is not that great, because it requires you to know the name of the app.

Next is the good old system tray: this little area is by far the thing I despise the most in any operating system. Not because it's useless, because it's not, but because it's completely inefficient. You start apps from another place, and some of them will stay in the tray, some won't. Sometimes the icon disappears when you close the app's window, sometimes it won't. Sometimes the icon is coloured, sometimes it's not. If you have too many things in there, it tends to fold so you have an extra click to view what's running. Click targets are small and imprecise. It mixes apps and system features. Some apps will react to a right click, some will open a window with a left click, some will open a context menu.

The old menus keep evolving, and they're not getting better. The traditional menubar isn't great. It's tiny, click targets aren't big enough, keyboard navigation is slow, and the sorting of these menus is random and app dependent, meaning you have to learn where each option is for each program you use. If you place that into a global menu, you save some space in the app's window, and you're making clicking on menus easier, since they're always in the same place, but it doesn't solve the menu sorting problem, and the small click targets. If you place everything in a hamburger menu, you're simplifying the default interface, but making it harder to find advanced features.

Finally, Windows and titlebars. We use app based metaphors, and so we need to have a visual representation of each one. Whether it floats, or it's tiled, we all have windows that we move, resize, maximize, minimize, or close.

Again, this isn't efficient. Resizing windows to fit a task isn't great, titlebars are small and finicky to grab and drag, window buttons are small and are moving targets depending on where you placed the window. If you tile things, then you'll need to adjust the layout multiple times to have tiles that have enough space for what you want to do.

00:33 Sponsor: Monitor and Secure your internet connection

DEBs & RPMs are contained in repositories that your distribution set up or that you add yourself.
In terms of advantages, these packages are all separate, which means that each package contains either an application or a library: you only install what is needed, nothing more. This also means they tend to use less space as time goes on.

Second, they're maintained and tested by your distributions, which means they should all work well without any issues.

Third, they're all based on a dependency system: applications declare which other packages they need to run.

You install a package as a superuser, which means you grant the package all the rights to do whatever it wants to your system as it's being installed. They also can create dependency hell.
These packages need to be made for every architecture, and for 32 bit and 64 bit, for all the currently supported versions of a distribution, and for all distributions.

And that was the main reason why Flatpaks were invented. It packages the application and everything it needs to run in a single bundle. If the application depends on a LOT of libraries that are commonly used by other applications, it can install what's called a runtime instead.

Flatpaks are only meant for graphical applications: they aren't a way to distribute libraries, or command line apps. Flatpaks are generally hosted on Flathub, but there are others repos.

Flatpaks are more secure than regular packages. They're installed as a regular user, and can't install crap that will run at the system level. They can also use a sandbox, with permissions.

Another advantage is for app developers: flatpaks run on any distribution that has flatpak installed, which is basically all of them apart from Ubuntu and its various flavors.

It also means you're not dependent on your distribution for updates: you can get the new versions of your app as soon as the developer has published them. Last advantage is no dependency hell.

Flatpaks tend to use more space, and they can''t fully replace packages: they are only for graphical programs. Finally, flatpak apps might not follow your custom themes.

You can install Snap packages on Ubuntu and all of its derivatives, or any distro that can install the snapd package. They're auto updated and containerized. Snaps also let you test future releases in advance, with "channels". While the packaging format is open source, the server component isn't.

Snaps are very slow to open at first start. They tend to clutter your mount points. Snaps also generally don't support your custom themes. Snaps do have the advantage of supporting command line utilities.

AppImages are an all in one bundle that packages the application and all its libraries in a single file.
They're very portable. They also won't create dependency hell, since they're completely independent. Appimages can be sandboxed but not a lot of them are. Appimages don't integrate with your system at all. They also use more space than any other packaging format.

Next is the AUR, it means Arch User Repository. it's available on Arch Linux and other Arch based distros like Manjaro.

The AUR is a big repository of applications and libraries packaged by individuals: they're generally not official, and not supported by the distro or the original developer.

Its main advantage is that is has virtually everything. The AUR doesn't host packages, but packagebuilds, which are scripts that will make the package.

This means that installing something might take a bit longer, and it also means that unless you read the package build scripts yourself, you completely trust an individual with the security of your system.

Safe & Sound feat. The Civil Wars (The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 And Beyond)

"Safe & Sound" featuring The Civil Wars is a hauntingly beautiful track from "The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 And Beyond." This poignant song captures the essence of hope and resilience amidst despair, reflecting the struggles faced by the characters in the dystopian world of Panem. With its ethereal harmonies and emotive lyrics, it stands as a powerful anthem for survival and unity.

Lyrics:
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window
Darlin', everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps ragin' on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone, gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Over on BlueSky, authors are sharing their #unbound horror stories. It’s awful. So much worse than I imagined. It’s Alan Dean Foster vs Disney all over again.

Unbound went into liquidation and immediately a new company, Boundless, popped up. They now own all of Unbound’s assets … and none of its debts.

There are so many authors owed tens of thousands of pounds each. Many of them have no other source of income and this represents a year’s worth of royalties.

Söyleşi / Pontos Gerçeği: Yazar Tamer Çilingir; Cezalandırılmayan suç tekrarlanır

  1. Dünya Savaşı’nı kaybeden Osmanlı devletinin geride kalan son topraklarında yaşanan iktidar savaşı ki buna Türkler ‘Kurtuluş Savaşı’ adını vereceklerdir, Pontos’ta yaşayan Hristiyan ve Müslüman Rum halkın kaderini belirlemiştir.

1914’den Ermenilerin ve Süryanilerin imhası, 19 Mayıs 1919’dan itibaren Rumlar için soykırım süreci başlamıştır. Kürtler ise 1921 Koçgiri ile başlayan imha ve sürgün politikalarıyla karşılaşacaklardır. Yahudiler de 1924 sürgününü yaşayacaklardır.

Pontus’ta 19. yüzyıl sonlarında ve 20. yüzyıl başlarında bir aydınlanma sürecinin yaşandığını görüyoruz. 20. yüzyılın başlarında tıpkı Orta Çağ Avrupası’nı sona erdiren Rönesans dönemi gibi edebi, sanatsal, bilimsel ve düşünsel alanlardaki gelişmelerle aydınlanan Pontos coğrafyasının binlerce yıllık geçmişi ve birikiminin sonucu olan kültür ve sanat alanındaki gelişmeler yüz yıl önce bıçak gibi kesildi.

Yunanistan’ın Pontos Rum Soykırımını 1994 yılında tanımış olması bir utanç abidesidir. Üstelik hem soykırım sürecinde o günkü Yunan hükümetin Pontus’a olan ilgisizliği bugün de devam ediyor.

Suç cezalandırılmaz ise yine tekrarlanır. Eğer 106 yıl önce yaşananlar o tarihsel süreçte cezalandırılsa idi, Nazi soykırımı bu kadar rahat gerçekleşemezdi. Cumhuriyet tarihi katliamlar, işkenceler, insan hakları ihlalleri tarihidir sebebi kuruluşunun meşru görülmesidir.

Demokratikleşmeden söz edeceksek önce 106 yıl önce yaşananların iyi analiz edilip suçların, suçluların teşhir edilmesi yanı sıra bir devletin anti-demokratik, insan haklarını ihlal eden, soykırım ve baskı üzerine kurulu bir geçmişten demokratik bir yapıya dönüşmesi, köklü ve uzun vadeli bir dönüşüm süreci gerektirir.

Nûpel Yayın Koordinatörü Filiz Deniz, Pontos Gerçeği’ni yazan araştırmacı- yazar Tamer Çilingir ile Pontoslu Rumların 1. Paylaşım Savaşı döneminde ve sonrasında yaşadıklarını konuştu.

So, the Slimbook Elemental comes in 2 variants, a 14 inch and a 15.6 inch. Both come with either an i5 1235U or an i7 1255U. Both laptops have a 1080p display, matte with an anti glare coating, they both offer 2 non soldered DDR4 RAM slots, running at 3200Mhz, and one NVMe SSD slot, with PCIe4. They both use Intel's Xe graphics, they're both made mostly out of aluminium and they both have Wifi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, a 730P webcam, and a 49Wh battery.

Both laptops are mostly build out of aluminium: the palm rest, the sides, the bottom plate, and the lid. The screen bezels and the hinge guards a made out of plastic.

The i5 1235U is a low power CPU, made for ultrabooks, so it won't blow your socks off, but it's still pretty decent.

The i7 1255U gets 2529 in single core and 6835 in multi core, which is a bit better, but not a huge difference. Both review units I got used the i7, but looking online, the i5 1235U gets around 2150 in single core, and 6500 to 7000 in multi core. Honestly, if you're looking for an affordable device, I'd go with the i5, it's probably more than enough for most people's needs.

As per battery life, at mid brightness, running videos in a loop in Firefox over wifi, I got 6h on both, which is OK but not spectacular for a U series CPU from Intel.

The ports are a bit different on the 14 inch and the 15 inch.
They both provide a HDMI ports, and a USB C 3.2 gen 2 port that supports Display Port 1.4, and charging, plus a gigabit ethernet port, an audio jack and a micro SD card slot.

They also both have 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 type A port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 type A port, and the 15 inch adds a USB 2 port on top of that, and a sim card module if you want to use 4G / LTE on the laptop.

As per the display, in both cases its 1080p, at 60hz, with a matte / anti glare coating. The viewing angles are good here, and the colors are ok, but they're not the best displays you"ll ever see.

Both laptops don't have the same touchpads and keyboards. You do get a numpad on the 15 inch but not on the 14 inch. So, on the 15 inch, keys are super soft: they are nice and easy to press, and very stable, but the actual actuation feels very smooth, like the rubber membrane is thick underneath. I liked typing on it. It's backlit with RGB so you can pick the color through an app like Slimbook RGB.

On the 14 inch, the keyboard is really small, it doesn't g edge to edge, meaning that it's kinda cramped and reminiscent of netbook keyboards. It's also backlit here, but with just white as a color.

As per the touchpads, they're your usual hinge based design, they don't feel like glass touchpads, they're not ultra smooth, but they do feel precise, they have a nice click, they don't wobble or rattle. The one on the 14 inch model feels a bit more rigid, with less travel before the click, but they're about on par with a solid PC touchpad.

Now, for the webcams, they're just 720p. They're not terrible, they actually perform decently with various lighting conditions, but yeah, they're not macbook quality. On the 14 inch, you actually get a built-in webcam shutter so you can hide that if you want, and both laptops have bios switches to disable the webcam and the mic if you never use them.

The onboard mics aren't noteworthy, they're bad, like every laptop mic is, they're tinny and they don't sound good. The speakers on both laptops are OK, they have some amount of bass, they don't vibrate the chassis, and they're definitely enough to listen to music, or watch youtube, a movie or a tv show.

»Die Waffenlieferungen an Israel seien kaum noch mit dem Völkerrecht vereinbar, ergänzte Goldmann. Die bereitgestellten Waffen würden auch in völkerrechtswidrigen Einsätzen verwendet, etwa in Syrien. «

»Er meinte, mit Blick auf Sanktionen gegen andere Staaten stelle sich die Frage: „Wie inkonsequent kann man eigentlich sein, ohne dass es peinlich wird?“«

Crime causes poverty. Not the other way around.

For example, crime rates in Appalachia are generally lower than the national average despite incredibly high poverty rates.

However, studies show that the average IQ of adult criminals is about 85, which is one standard deviation below the general population mean of 100. On the whole, low IQ leads to criminality, which causes poverty.

Most research shows that individuals with lower IQs are more likely to commit crimes than those with higher IQs, with a well-established negative correlation between IQ and criminality. This means that no amount of money you throw at impoverished people will solve the problem. You can't pay for higher IQ

Once we, as a society, can finally find it acceptable to discuss trends in IQ as it relates to criminality, poverty, academic achievement and much more, we can actually start working to solve the associated problems.

This leads to more appropriate questions, such as, "why are IQ levels dropping? Why are they lower in certain communities? How can we improve or at least quit making it worse?"

They youth are deceived. All we have now is a fascism - corporatism - cronyism. We don't have capitalism - capitalism is voluntary exchange under a sound money system and absolutely not top-down controlled. But even mom and pop saving money to open a shop, do so under a huge top-down regulatory machine and in a devastatingly inflationary system that oppresses their ability to function and grow ... it's not a wonder that the trumpeted "capitalism" looks like a pile of shit - it's because it's all a lie.
