It’s worth a listen, Trump and the vaccine rollout, it makes some sense

stopworldcontrol.com
This film answers the question everyone has: "Why did Trump release the vaccines?" You will discover how the true agenda of the pandemic was to have ten years of lockdowns, followed by a Great Reset of the entire world. The pandemic was supposed to lead to the New World Order. But it didn't happen. What stopped it?

In a move that could reshape how civil rights law is enforced in America, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order on April 23rd targeting the controversial legal doctrine of disparate impact — and the mainstream media is ignoring its major impact on purpose.

Florida Sky Watchers
"Attorney Catherine Ybarra recently presented shocking findings on military planes spraying chemicals—not just high-altitude Stratosphere operations, but low-level flights over populated areas. Her team uncovered that the U.S. Air Force has a specialized artillery unit, using C-130 Hercules planes, to spray chemicals such as Naled (an organophosphate banned in the EU) for mosquito control among other toxic chemicals. These findings revealed through FOIA Requests.

Air Force documents show planes dispersing chemicals over places near Langley AFB, VA. They map areas to avoid—like bald eagle nests—but not residential zones.

Ybarra highlighted the technology involved. Battelle, a defense contractor, developed advanced spray systems (per their patents). These nozzles can disperse fine mists of pesticides, antibiotics, even vaccines or DNA fragments.

Used on planes, drones, maybe helicopters, the spraying leaves visible clouds—not always “chemtrail” lines, but noticeable. Health risks? Studies link organophosphates to cancer, neurological damage, and more. Yet it’s sprayed where people live. Is this cure worse than the disease? Ybarra asks why eagle nests are prioritized over human health. The patents raise bigger questions about long-term impacts. minds.com/newsfeed/17535176145…

It is literally impossible to explain ADHD task avoidance to people who don't experience it, I think.

It has to sound absolutely insane to just sit around, filled with dread and anxiety, not doing a small thing you "could do any time" that really needs to get done. And to just continue that way for hours, days, weeks, months, even fucking years.

Like, who lives that way? How can anyone live that way? (I live that way, but I don't know how I survive)

in reply to Artemis

part of it for me is a negative reinforcement loop. You have initial task avoidance, and then every time you think of it, you recoil from it. Your brain learns 'if I think of x, I will feel bad', and just...stops thinking of x. Until you think of it again, and you recoil even more because you still haven't done it.

And then, every once in a while, my brain relents, and I Do All The Things in one wildly productive morning/day/week. Maddening.

New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 168: SSRIs, ADHD, and Medical Trends with Julia Mason, MD heterodorx.substack.com/p/ssri…

After several conversations about antidepressants, the Dorx welcome back pediatrician Dr. Julia Mason, who prescribes Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) to young people. Do we even know what these drugs do to developing brains? How do antidepressants compare with “gender-affirming care”? Does Barlean’s Fish Oil really taste like lemon custard? We also talk about myelnation, the distress of youth, the parasympathetic nervous system, neurotransmitters, immunosuppression, social costs and benefits of treatments, wildly swinging trends in medicine, unintended consequences, public schools, and the over-diagnoses of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Medical institutions have a lot to answer for, but at least we have Nampons for nosebleeds.

I swapped the entire school computers to linux mint


I go to a programming school, where there were computers running ancient windows 8 and some were on windows 10, they ran really slow and were completely unrelaible when doing the tasks that are required, those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task for em, so long story short I decided to talk to the principal about it explaining why linux is so much better than windows and gave him reasons why linux will be better for us for education and he agreed after considering it for a bit, he let me know that some students play roblox or minecraft in middle of the lesson and he asks if linux would stop em from doing that, I stated that as long as they dont know how to work with wine/lutris or know any specific linux packages that run windows games on linux they should not be able to play in the middle of lessons.
he gave me the green light to do it, so I spent like 3 days migrating like 20+ computers to linux (since I had to set them up and install some required applications for them)
in the last day where I was doing a last check up on the PCs to make sure they are in working order, there was a computer having a problem of which where it didnt boot, I let the principal know about this to get permission to work on it, he said yes, so after some troubleshooting I realized the boot order was all screwed, so since Ive worked with arch before I knew how to fix it, I booted up linux mint live image, chrooted, and fixed the boot order and computer went back to life, prinicipal came in checked on everything to make sure everything works, told me to wait for a bit, and then came back and paid me for his troubles (was a bit of a surprised since I expected nothing of the sort), the next day I came to school, sat down, turned PC on, noticed something was in the trash bin, opened it, found "robloxinstall.exe" on it, told the principal about it, he was pleased with it, so now 2 weeks later he seems now to be confident about linux, as he told me there is another class he is considering to move to linux.

so my question here would be: does this mean linux now is ready for the education sector?

(considering now, that I got a win win situation, I get to use an OS that I like in school, students gets to focus on the lessons instead of slacking.)

What's a good, beginner-friendly distro that allows for easy switching between GNOME and KDE?


I'm thinking of switching to Linux as my daily driver after trying it out both Fedora Workstation and KDE using Live USB, but I'm wondering if I should consider other distros besides Fedora. I've heard of openSUSE, is that decent? Not many people really mention them. Linux Mint is great, but I don't like Cinnamon all too much.

What's a good desktop-agnostic distro that lets you easily swap between the two?

edit: Woah, it seems that you're able to swap between DEs from the login manager as long as you install both. Okay then, new question, for a beginner friendly distro, should I go for Fedora, OpenSUSE, or something else?

edit 2: a bit more information about my device and my preferences...

On KDE Plasma vs GNOME, I would like to try both out and see which I like better long-term. KDE Plasma seems a bit more familiar (closer to Windows 10) whereas GNOME is a bit more different but I'm open to using either.

I'm running a laptop with an Intel i7-1360P. It's one of those 2-in-1 convertible 360 degree hinge laptops.

I would say I'm open to learning how to work with the terminal and customising the distro a bit, but I don't want to do anything too out of my scope. I don't want to spend too many hours setting it up, I'd rather have something that works mostly out of the box 😁

I want a stable distro as in I don't want to break my system after an update, but still want something up-to-date though. I'm open to rolling release distros, but to my knowledge those are usually less stable with more breaking changes than fixed release options.

edit 3: just installed Fedora Workstation and it works really well! Multi-touch with my trackpad works fine and everything runs smooth. File read/write speeds were also strangely a bit more consistent (on Windows it jumps between <100KB/s and 60MB/s whereas on Fedora it’s consistently around or over 45MB/s…weird…)

My only issue right now is that the touchscreen doesn’t work anymore, how do I install the drivers for that?

edit 4:

Touchscreen and even rotating the screen when the device works now after an update :DDDDD

now I’m slowly installing my programs again…

I want a more stable distro, so I'm not considering the rolling release options (like manjaro and EndeavourOS). I've also heard that not many people like Ubuntu because of snaps, why is that?

edit: are rolling release distros stable enough (e.g. will it randomly crash/have weird issues?) and is it possible/easy to roll back to a previous version if there's a breaking update

Well, people don't like snaps for a number of reasons, because they are forced on users, bloated and slow, Canonicals themselves are quite shady, systemd, etc.

I would rather use several different types of packages than trust one that is tied to a shady company.

it's like chemtrails. they finally admit they're "testing" something that's been going on for 30 years, ostensibly for global warming, but as far as i can tell, one of the real purposes of chemtrails relates to bouncing radar off this metallic nanoparticle layer after it disperses, but i'm still not sure about the full scope of it.

i think our governments know global warming is a hoax (since they're perpetrating it) and global warming is a cover story for a neo-feudal energy policy to impose austerity on us, and they just cram a lot of other neafarious behavior under the umbrella of global warming as an excuse

in reply to mittimithai

there's a lot at stake with the trans issue and they know that the pharma and psych industry will come after those authors personally. in a perfect world i would definitely like to see authors listed. for where we are currently, with a bunch of deranged tranny terrorists running around firebombing things, claiming your words are literally killing them, i will let it slide until such time as we can get things back toward semblance of normalcy

Went to bed last night around 10:15pm last night.
Went to sleep listening to "You're Dead To Me" a #history #podcast from #BBC #Radio4.
Fell asleep probably within 15-20 minutes?
Then as soon as the podcast was over I woke right back up!
Gah!
Fine.
"Ok Google, play BBC #WorldService from the BBC."
And then I almost immediately fell back to sleep.
Until I woke up about 45 minutes before my alarm this morning.
Then fell back asleep.
Then woke up with my alarm.

It is crazy that my brain won't let me sleep unless there's noise or talking or something playing in the background!

I wonder if there is a neurological or psychological condition that causes this........

Progress update on the Ventoy blob problem


Posting this since quite a bit has changed since I last posted about this on !technology@lemmy.world.

Here's a rough breakdown of the current status:

  • shared Ventoy components: build and seem to work, needs more testing
    • grub / menu - builds
    • EDK II apps / UEFI chainloader and more - builds
    • iPXE / BIOS chainloader - builds, with fixes for newer toolchains
    • ISO9660 and UDF drivers - TODO


  • Ventoy CPIO / Linux ramdisk: builds; I deemed musl xzcat unneeded, so I skipped it; needs more testing
  • wimboot / Windows chainloader (?) - stalled, I lack the necessary knowledge to work on it
  • geom-ventoy / FreeBSD disk mapping kernel module - is being worked on, slowly; not ready for testing
  • anything else is a TODO

This should be enough to boot Linux with just what's built manually, but I haven't tried that yet.

Secure Boot is just done by using a pre-built bypass package. I'll deal with that later.

Having more people testing this would be nice. 😀

Cheers
