As concerns about climate change grow, more people are looking for ways to lower their environmental impact. Transportation is a major contributor to global emissions, and choosing greener ways to get around is one of the most effective actions individuals can take. Electric bikes at lacrosebike.com/products/cyclo… offer a powerful, practical solution for reducing your carbon footprint while maintaining convenience and mobility.
Zero Emissions at the Source One of the key benefits of e-bikes is that they produce no direct emissions. Unlike gas-powered cars or scooters, electric bikes run on rechargeable batteries and do not burn fossil fuels. This means no tailpipe pollution, no harmful gases, and no added smog in your local environment.
Energy-Efficient Travel E-bikes are among the most energy-efficient modes of transport. They require far less energy per mile than cars or even electric vehicles. The electricity needed to charge an e-bike battery is minimal, especially when compared to the energy demands of larger vehicles. For short- to medium-distance travel, e-bikes are a clear winner in efficiency.
Replacing Car Trips Many car trips are under a short distance and could easily be replaced with a bike ride. Commuting, running errands, and visiting nearby places are all possible on an e-bike. By swapping out even a few of these daily drives for electric bike rides, you can significantly cut back on fuel use and emissions.
Lower Production Impact The environmental cost of producing an e-bike is much lower than that of manufacturing a car. E-bikes use fewer materials, require less energy to build, and take up less space throughout their life cycle. While the battery does contain resources like lithium, the overall impact remains small compared to larger electric or gas-powered vehicles.
Encouraging Greener Cities Widespread e-bike adoption supports cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable urban environments. As more people choose e-bikes, cities are encouraged to invest in bike-friendly infrastructure, reducing the need for expanded roadways and parking lots. This shift helps create healthier spaces with less pollution and more room for pedestrians, green areas, and clean transit options.
Supporting a Renewable Future As power grids continue to shift toward renewable energy, the benefits of e-bikes will grow. Charging an e-bike with solar or wind energy makes the process nearly emission-free. Even when charged with standard grid electricity, the overall emissions from riding remain far below those of driving a car.
Conclusion Electric bikes are more than just a modern convenience — they are a meaningful step toward a more sustainable lifestyle. By choosing an e-bike for your daily travels, you reduce emissions, save energy, and support cleaner communities. It’s a simple but powerful way to shrink your carbon footprint and help protect the planet for future generations.
Choose Lacros City Commuter E-Bike, a lightweight electric commuter bike designed for effortless urban travel. You can always feel a smooth and eco-friendly ride with this city commuter electric bike, long-lasting battery life, and sleek design.

The State of Exception Against the Autonomy of the Communities
By: Orlando Cienfuegos, correspondent for Antorcha Estéreo
Extension of the State of Exception in southern Chile ignites the Mapuche Struggle; approaches to understand this century-old conflict and its relationship with the State of Emergency in Colombian Catatumbo.
May 16 marked three years since the government of pseudo-leftist Gabriel Boric decreed the State of Constitutional Emergency in the southern macrozone of Chile, which covers the regions of La Araucanía and Biobío, in order to placate the processes of land recovery and liberation, as well as the territorial autonomy demanded by the Mapuche communities, the historical and majority inhabitants in this area of the country.
After the longest State of Exception in Chilean history, which resulted in militarization and repression of Mapuche communities, this century-old conflict, instead of being resolved, is becoming more entangled every day, leaving a balance of dozens of deaths, thousands of wounded and hundreds arbitrarily detained for fighting in favor of their communities. To top it off, this week, the Chilean oligarchy, represented in Chile’s National Congress, approved a 30-day extension for the “State of Emergency”, which confirms the criminalizing and repressive policy against the Mapuche nation and the communities that confront landowning interests, multinationals and a State that does not recognize them.
To understand this ethnic, political, economic, ecological and territorial conflict that has been going on for more than 100 years, it is necessary to specify some elements that, due to their complexity and similarity, allow us to draw a parallel with what the Catatumbo region is experiencing, in our Colombia, hit by a “State of Emergency” declared in the same way by the pseudo-leftist Gustavo Petro.
Elements to understand the conflict of the Chilean State with the Mapuche communities.
The first thing that is necessary to know is that the Mapuche are a population originating from the south of Chile and part of Argentina, who have inhabited the lands they now claim for thousands of years, since before the arrival of the Spaniards in the fifteenth century to Our America, therefore their claim must be understood not only in territorial but also spiritual terms because it is justly alleged that this territory and its sovereignty are an ancestral matter, where they have lived for thousands of years, which collects their traditions and culture, where their myths took place and their ancestors lived and are now buried; one of the few territories in Abya Yala (Latin America) that resisted the colonial invasion and remained unscathed until the consolidation of the Chilean State at the beginning of the twentieth century, at which time the Creole elite attacked this area, managing to conquer it with blood and fire, displacing the native communities to 5% of their ancestral territory.
By the way, Mapuche academic Verónica Figueroa Huencho, a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Latin American Studies at Stanford University and professor at the University of Chile, notes that the first explanation of the conflict is historical and lies in the European model with which the Chilean State was created, since “from the beginning, the State of Chile is built on an ‘ideal’ of homogeneity that does not consider indigenous peoples, forgetting our culture, our language, our system of representation. And so on for 200 years.” For this reason, these communities are not recognized in their integrity, disrespecting their Law of origin, major right or their own right, as well as their historical demands, which has led to a lack of dialogue, structural racism and ignorance.
A second element is the economic interests to which this macro-zone is subjected, which due to the fertility of its lands and its water sources, has been the subject of disputes, both by the landowners who, with the concession of the State, monopolize large tracts of land, as well as by the multinationals that carry out hydroelectric and nuclear projects in contravention and without consulting the Mapuche communities, who are displaced by these dynamics. An example of this problem is the usurpation of land that reached its peak with the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who gave forestry companies enormous amounts of land to plant pines and eucalyptus. Although some governments such as Michelle Bachelet’s have made promises of land restitution, the truth is that in practice they have not been fulfilled.
Thirdly, we have State Violence as a constant that, with the passage of time, further deepens the conflict and generates intergenerational wounds that reduce the possibilities of a dialogue process that puts an end to the conflict. In this sense, Verónica Figueroa says that thanks to the use of the Anti-Terrorist Law (against the Mapuche), based on a doctrine of the Internal Enemy, the conflict is increasingly fueled. State violence has slowed down certain conversations that could take place in another way, thus advancing a political solution to the conflict. However, the logic of war persists thanks to a “constant militarization in what the State defines as a “conflict zone”: raids on communities, persecution of political leaders, children who live and grow up under this logic” Figueroa
Similarities with the conflict in Colombian Catatumbo
In accordance with the above, it can be said that the State of Exception imposed in southern Chile has several points in common with the State of Emergency decreed by the Colombian government in Catatumbo at the beginning of 2025.
The first similarity we find is that this conflict dates back a long time, it is not something spontaneous and, on the contrary, it has roots in the problem of the distribution of land, as well as in the defense and autonomy of the territories, which have been built collectively by the communities but that the oligarch and centralist State has tried to usurp by displacing the settlers through force, landowners and multinationals, installing problems such as monocultures, the timber industry and extraction projects.
Similarly, in both countries, militarization and repression have been the formula with which the oligarch State, based on the policy of the Internal Enemy, has mediated this conflict, generating countless disappearances, displacements, wounded and deaths. With this policy, the criminalization of social protest and violence against social leaders is the order of the day.
To justify the actions of the repressive forces and delegitimize the organized struggle of the communities, the States have applied the strategy of flooding these areas with illicit crops, at the expense of the will of the communities, and then militarily attacking these territories. Thus, in the south of Chile, the mass media of disinformation are carrying out a communication campaign where they point out that “criminal organizations with firepower operate in the area that are dedicated to arms trafficking through the exchange of marijuana.” All to justify militarization and make these territories look like a “conflict zone.”
Finally, the most obvious example of the similarity between these two conflicts and the actions of the oligarch states is that in both territories, the governments have promised everything; redistribution of land, universities, job opportunities, etc., but as always, they promise and never deliver.
Solution and conclusion
In both countries, the solution to the problem involves the recognition of the struggle and the rights of the communities. This is why the historian and anthropologist José Bengoa explains that “as long as the colonialist and discriminatory mentality of the Chilean State does not change, the Mapuche conflict has very little chance of being resolved.”
This step would allow, as the ELN has insisted so much, that the solution to the conflict is political, through dialogue and the direct and binding participation of the communities, carrying out real transformations, without falling into promises that will later be unfulfilled. Undoubtedly, reparation for victims is an important point.
The freedom of political prisoners is another nodal point in this political solution, since it cannot be that, for claiming or protesting for the rights, territory, self-determination and sovereignty of the communities, there are thousands of detainees in the dungeons of the State.
From the National Liberation Army [ELN], we support the Mapuche struggle and the communities of Catatumbo for the liberation of their territories, convinced that no one knows, better than the people, how to organize and administer the territory, thus achieving a dignified life, both for rural, urban and native inhabitants.

Wow there are like dozens of these fake diddy testimonials what a weird thing to fanfic... ugh people are sick. This is exactly the same vibe as the AI Christian album with all those famous artists. Another one with christopher walken.
The sad thing is on the comments of each of these are dozens of responses in the affirmative and freaking out mode. Likely a large system of bots.
But why? Seems like extremely well orchestrated manipulation. During an actual court case.

if I can pick between Lenovo and Valve, I'm going with the one that contributes the most to the Linux ecosystem. I think that means I'll stick with valve and a steam deck 2
I will probably be waiting for the next generation of Steam Deck. I have yet to buy a handheld, I just want the tech/software to mature even further (and hopefully anti-cheat will be in a better spot).
it's a nope for me. I have a Legion Go and trading down to a worse screen and non-detachable controllers is a no-go (heh) for me. Official Linux support is nice, but not if it comes with a loss of capability.

The default will be very, very familiar to anyone who already used PopOS. You have a bottom dock and a top panel. The dock has your app icons and access to the app library and the launcher, the top panel lets you access the workspaces, the apps, the time and date, and your system tray.
The settings let you do whatever the hell you want to these panels and docks. You can move any of these to any screen edge, you can move any applet from one to the other, size them how you want, make them fully transparent, you can replicate any layout you'd like, basically, and if you'd like to just have one single taskbar at the bottom, you can always make the top panel transparent, and auto hide it, after removing all of its applets.
Of course, one of the main advantages of PopOS was always its auto tiling features, and they return here in Cosmic. You can obviously manually tile windows on screen edges, or corners, to half tile, maximize, or quarter tile, but you also get the nice auto tiling applet in the top bar. You can turn on auto tiling for the current workspace, and keep a different behavior for other workspaces, and you can even set that behavior for any new workspace that is created, since these are dynamic, like in GNOME.
After that, you can either navigate using the keyboard or the mouse, and you have a nice visual hint around the currently focused window as well. You can also stack windows by placing them on top of one another, and this will add tabs in the titlebars of these windows. These stacks will persist even if you untile the desktop, and you can create these stacks even with floating windows, and if a stack is currently focused, all new windows will open inside of this stack. You can destack things by just dragging them out of it.
Now, in terms of theming, Cosmic has the usual light and dark mode, and accent colors, from a palette, or with a color picker. Then, you can change the other colors: you can change the window background color, the color of containers, so the sidebars and options popovers, the color of the interface text, the tint of the controls, and the color of the hint for the active window, if you want it to be different from the accent color.
Other options let you change the shape of the controls, rounded, rounded squares and pure squares. And as the cherry on top, you get the ability to change the icon theme, and to apply your color theme to Gnome apps, including libadwaita and flatpak apps.
Finally, let's look at the apps. The app store is nothing crazy, it works with apps from the PopOS repos, and flatpaks as well, with flathub being turned on by default, at least in the PopOS alpha, you can't see app permissions, links to the developer's website, verification status, or anything like that.
The terminal has themes, profiles, lets you split the current terminal, it supports tabs, it can even be semi transparent. it's a good terminal app for most people.
The Text editor will be fine for most people as well, it does have some development oriented features, like tab width settings for identation, or a project view for navigating a directory. It also has git management features baked in, but it won"t replace your favorite IDE any time soon.
Finally, the file manager is very barebones for now, it does support tabs, and it has a sidebar, you get a grid view and a list view, the ability to show hidden files, and a few view settings, but that's it. No archiving features, no split view, no terminal integration, no side panels, it's more Nautilus than Dolphin for now.
I just fell off wagon for 5 days but back on (stupid cooking youtube videos). Been doing pretty much carnivore, now I get to go thru a week of carb cravings again. Ooof.
