In a momentous vote, the National Education Association voted to cut all ties with the Anti-Defamation League. The reason? β€œDespite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.”

Ted Cruz ensured Trump spending bill slashed weather forecasting funding | Texas floods 2025 | The Guardian

Ted Cruz has had quite a week. On Tuesday, the Texas senator ensured the Republican spending bill slashed funding for weather forecasting, only to then go on vacation to Greece while his state was hit by deadly flooding, a disaster critics say was worsened by cuts to forecasting. Cruz, who infamously fled Texas for Cancun when a crippling winter storm ravaged his…

Scratch the surface of any anti-vaxx, anti-masking or anti-lockdown organisation, and you’ll find weird cults of christians, climate change deniers, neo-nazis and eugenics buffs thinking they’re hippies. Keep digging and you’ll find Koch brothers, fossil fuel lobby and eventually Peter Thiel. But most of all you’ll find anti-liberalism, which is the irony of it all. It’s like an Ouroboros chasing it’s tail.

But critics have expressed some serious performance doubts - pointing out that Musk's most recent projects have a strong tendency to end in premature expiration.

To anyone still wondering if New York Times can disgrace itself even more than it already has in recent years, Dan Froomkin has an answer:

"The sad fact is that there is nothing terribly out of character about the New York Times’s decision to publish a deceptive hit piece about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, based on hacked data supplied by a noted eugenicist to whom they granted anonymity."

"But its coverage of anything remotely political is poisoned by its obsession to prove its neutrality by taking cheap shots at the left, no matter the cost to its obligation to accuracy and fairness."

Froomkin is absolutely right. This ugly hit piece which raises major ethical questions about how NYT does journalism is exactly what I'd have expected from NYT β€” and why I read it only when other sources I respect cite some of its few worthwhile reports.

"When Times columnist Jamelle Bouie had the temerity to post 'i think you should tell readers if your source is a nazi,' he was apparently forced to delete it for violating the paper's social media guidelines. Think about that for a moment. The Times will protect the anonymity of a white supremacist, but will silence their own Black columnist for accurately identifying him."

"[The Zohran Mamdani story] came to the Times due to a widespread hack into Columbia’s databases, transmitted to the paper through an intermediary who was given anonymity by the paper. That source turns out to be Jordan Lasker, who – as the Guardian has reported – is a well-known and much criticized ''eugenicist', AKA white supremacist."

How can he visit the #USA, without getting arrested?

As a German - yeah, i'm pulling that card (also, I didn't do it, i'm a millennial) - there shouldn't be "only following ze orders" - how is this guy not in custody, yet?

Did the UN/TheHague/Interpol lift their warrant - why?

Nobara is created by Glorious Eggroll, the creator of Proton GE, which is a more up to date version of Proton to run your games through Steam. Nobara takes Fedora, and adds the Wine dependencies, Steam, all necessary codecs for video playback, 3rd party drivers, like their own packages for the Nvidia drivers, which need a separate repo on Fedora, and a LOT of fixes to various packages.

So, let's compare the post-install process for Nobara and Fedora.
Nobara gives you a welcome app that's actually useful, and will offer to download codecs needed for video decoding and encoding. You can also install drivers there, like the nvidia or amdgpu pro drivers.

It’s not a HUGE timesaver, if I'm honest. Maybe something like 5 minutes after the install.

You can also change the layout and accent colors straight from the welcome app, with layouts based on Windows, Windows 11, macOS, GNOME, GNOME 2, or Unity.

The default experience on Nobara on the "official" version uses a heavily modified GNOME. You get a taskbar, windows style, with Dash 2 panel, and the Arc Menu GNOME extension, for a more traditional menu. You have the APpIndicators as well for notification tray icons, you get BLur My Shell, for blurred translucent elements here and there, you get desktop icons, accent colors that can also be applied to GTK3 and flatpak apps, Pop Shell, for the auto tiling capabilities, and Wireless HID to display the battery level of controllers, keyboards and mice in the battery indicator. Window buttons also include minimize and maximize here.

The laptop uses a 12th gen i7 12700H, with 16 gigs of RAM, and an RTX 3060, and everything runs from an SSD.

With shadow of the tomb raider, running the game at the native 1440p resolution, on high details, Nobara got 87 FPS on average, with a minimum of 72, and a maximum of 144.

On Fedora, using the same settings, and resolution, I got 83 FPS, with a minimum of 67.

Running Horizon Zero Dawn, at 1440p, on high details, Nobara got an average of 64 FPS, with a min FPS of 22, and a max of 161, with a score of 11591.

Fedora got an average of 63 FPS at the exact same settings, with a score of 11281, a high of 159 and a low of 21.

And in Total War Warhammer 3, at 1440p, on medium settings and ultra unit size, Nobara reached 71.6 FPS on average, with highs up to 86 and lows down to 58. Fedora, with the same settings, got 69 FPS, nice, with a max of 84 and a low of 59.

Nobara comes with its own graphical package manager, on top of GNOME Software. This thing show everything that is installed, or the available updates. It lets you install flatpak packages, and it has a graphical repo manager.

Just to see if there was any difference between distros, I also tried to connect various bluetooth controllers, namely an XBox Series controller, and a PS5 dualsense.

On Fedora all controllers connected immediately, and worked as intended, without any noticeable input latency. On Nobara, same experience.

On Nobara, installing resolve didn't require anything specific. All the dependencies were already there, the nvidia drivers they package are perfectly good for it. You download it, you run the installer, and it works. Nobara even uses the cuda drivers, which has never been necessary for me on Fedora, I just install the cuda related libraries from the repos, or rpmfusion.

We've lived in this house for 4 years. Since we moved in Wife has wanted a screen door on the front. I have told her several times that it wasn't made for one and the jamb wasn't thick enough. She would say, so fix it. Like it was nothing. The boy was home for the long weekend so on Saturday he took me in his truck to get everything I needed. Sunday, I reframed the front door and put on a storm door. A painter is coming next week to paint the new framing. 1/2

Brazil is doing a terrible thing on their treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro. I have watched, as has the World, as they have done nothing but come after him, day after day, night after night, month after month, year after year! He is not guilty of anything, except having fought for THE PEOPLE. I have gotten to know Jair Bolsonaro, and he was a strong Leader, who truly loved his Country β€” Also, a very tough negotiator on TRADE. His Election was very close and now, he is leading in the Polls. This is nothing more, or less, than an attack on a Political Opponent β€” Something I know much about! It happened to me, times 10, and now our Country is the β€œHOTTEST” in the World! The Great People of Brazil will not stand for what they are doing to their former President. I’ll be watching the WITCH HUNT of Jair Bolsonaro, his family, and thousands of his supporters, very closely. The only Trial that should be happening is a Trial by the Voters of Brazil β€” It’s called an Election. LEAVE BOLSONARO ALONE!
