FBI Director Kash Patel was subject to some of the most mean-spirited and dishonest questioning perhaps in committee history on Wednesday by a Democrat Congresswoman and former Trump impeachment manager. But he not only managed to hold in his temper but also deliver a reply for the ages.

A federal judge on Wednesday granted a temporary restraining order that blocks the Trump administration from deporting illegal Asian migrants to the African country of Libya, or any other third world country.
The move comes after lawyers filed an emergency motion earlier in the day, seeking to stop the deportations that were reportedly scheduled for sometime this week. The Trump administration has not formally commented on the plans.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright testified at a House Appropriations subcommittee budget hearing Wednesday. The hearing was one of six budget hearings this week in which department heads discussed President Donald Trump’s fiscal year 2026 budget proposal.
Wright testified that the Loans Program Office at the DOE had issued about $40 billion in loans for energy projects over the last 15 years. But in the last 76 days of the Biden administration, that number jumped to $100 billion.
A new House Intelligence Committee report detailing the politicization of the FBI’s flawed investigation into the 2017 shooting at a GOP congressional baseball practice is just the latest revelation this year showing the mishandling of high-profile investigations by the FBI and intelligence community (IC).
A brutal takedown this week of the FBI's botched inquiry into the June 2017 shooting at a GOP congressional baseball game was another straw on the camel's back.
"Big News Conference tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M., The Oval Office, concerning a MAJOR TRADE DEAL WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF A BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY. THE FIRST OF MANY!!!" Trump posted to Truth Social.
The Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine official until late-March met online several times with a COVID-19 vaccine injury group's leader, who, opposing the vaccines in part, begged him to no avail to take severe adverse events such as paresthesia as a precursor to neuropathy seriously and to urge doctors to treat them as such rather than write them off as "anxiety," secret recordings suggest.
An FDA official like Peter Marks, who either quit in principle or was forced out, should not be "jumping up and down with pom-poms" for vaccines still in trials, the Informed Consent Action Network's chief said.
Within hours, Israeli forces demolished homes, wells, and even caves in the West Bank hamlet of Khilet al-Dabe’, leaving families with nowhere to shelter.
Ils nous disent pourquoi ils veulent un référendum sur l'UE - 2
Dans le cadre de la campagne commune pour un référendum de clarification sur l’appartenance de la France au système de l’Union européenne, une série de courtes vidéos sont réalisées. Elles donnent la parole à des signataires de l’appel pour un nouveau référendum, 20 après le NON au TCE, effacé d’un trait de plume par le congrès qui a adopté le Traité de Lisbonne et a modifié notre constitution. Depuis lors la France est sous le joug de l’Union européenne dont les décisions, textes et traités prévalent et s’imposent aux peuples des pays membres de l’Union européenne.
Aujourd'hui nous vous proposons deux nouvelles vidéos :
Celle de Jean-Loup Izambert, journaliste, auteur de Bilan noir, l'Union européenne contre la France
Celle d'Aurélien Boutet, animateur socio-culturel, élu municipal
Referenda (?) pour tout ! Compteurs à zéro. Hier j'ai dû argumenter avec un conseiller bancaire d'une des plus grosses banques historiques de France (la Caisse d’Épargne), qui découvre qu'un 49.3 pour faire "'passer" le budget 2025 c'est pas vraiment démocratique... Etc etc....

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.

For me AutoKey is absolutely essential to my workflow. I have tons of text expansions and shortcuts to "remap" keys. E.g., respectively, typing dAt expands into 2025-05-08, 13:47:40 CEST, and pressing alt + k simulates the arrow down key.
Secondly there's XScreenSaver which has so many wonderful (mathematical) visualizations that it would be a damn shame if these eventually get lost as Wayland gets more adoption.
Appreciate the link, and I don't mean to sound so ungrateful, but that extensive README contains everything except what exactly river is. Is it a desktop manager? A standalone compositor? What does it fix? What does it replace? etc.
Wayland's been my daily driver for a few years now, mostly without incident. However, occasionally certain applications (Ryujinx and pcsx2, predictably) require the GDK_BACKEND=x11 environment variable to be set before they'll function.
mouse-actions execute some command from mouse events such as clicks/wheel on the side/corners of the screen, or drawing shapes. It's a mix between Easystroke and Compiz edge commands. - jersou/...
I'm too dumb to set up Wayland on Nvidia and honestly don't really care to. My laptop has an intel haswell-ult so it works with Wayland ootb and all the apps I use on it (literally just calibre, falkon, lapce and libreoffice Writer) work fine.
huh? Isn't that the thing that let's me select the DE/Compositor/Server mashup while logging in? It just occured to me that this sounds like circular reasoning, but that's what it looks like it does
RustDesk (remote desktop control) and Barriers (KVM-like server to control my laptop screen from my desktop just by moving mouse to that screen). Both of these are tightly integrated in my daily workflow and would be a hard loss.
There's a modern fork of Barriers but I haven't been able to get it working cross-platform yet. I know RustDesk is actively working to complete wayland support, but it's not quite there yet.
RustDesk on Wayland can't run headless, whichI need (unless they fixed already and I just haven't noticed yet - I know they've been working on it!)
Yeah, Input-leap is the Barriers fork I was referring to. I need it to work on all platforms though, and I wasn't able to get it working on macOS. I keep checking periodically tho (usually in reaponse to posts like these - I wanna move Wayland like everyone else!)
Right now there's an issue in WoW where sometimes when I move my mouse and left-click, the camera jumps to a different position, usually trying to look up.
Only happens on Wayland and it's fixed temporarily by switching between windowed and fullscreen mode. The problem comes back sometimes when alt-tabbing and refocusing the game.
There was a bug in KDE recently where some menus weren't properly appearing on Wayland, but that seems to have been fixed after my latest update.

Father, in this holy season we come to know the full depth of your love. You have freed us from the darkness of error and sin. Help us to cling to your truths with fidelity. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Anyone who believes that Friedrich Merz, the election traitor, is now our chancellor is thinking too short-sightedly. A second, invisible player has been sitting in the chancellor's chair since yesterday. His name is BlackRock. The very same powerful hedge fund for whose German branch Merz was chairman of the supervisory board for four years. Busy lobbyists have always sought exclusive access to politicians.
However, it's a scandal that an international financial locust has managed to smuggle its own agent into the highest German political office. Will such a Chancellor really make future decisions for the good of the German people? Or, in case of doubt, will he not rather defend the interests of his old connections in the globalist networks? I have a very bad suspicion, but soon we will know more... t.me/christineanderson/1155

As the world grapples with the growing plastic waste crisis, recycling technologies have become essential for mitigating environmental damage. Among the various methods available, mechanical recycling and pyrolysis stand out as two dominant approaches for processing plastic waste. Each has distinct advantages, challenges, and applications. Understanding the comparative merits of these methods is crucial for selecting the most appropriate solution based on waste types, economic feasibility, and sustainability goals.
Mechanical Recycling: The Conventional Approach
Mechanical recycling is the process of reprocessing used plastic into new products by physically breaking it down without changing its chemical structure. This method typically involves sorting, cleaning, shredding, and melting plastics to create new plastic items. It is the most widely adopted form of recycling, particularly for polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polypropylene (PP).
One of the main advantages of mechanical recycling is its relative simplicity and cost-effectiveness. It allows for the direct reuse of plastics without significant energy input or chemical alterations. However, the effectiveness of mechanical recycling is constrained by several factors, including contamination, degradation of polymer chains, and the quality of recycled material. Contaminants like food residues, oils, and inks can lower the purity of recycled plastic, making it unsuitable for high-quality applications.
Moreover, mechanical recycling often cannot process mixed plastics, which are common in household waste. For example, multilayered or composite plastic materials, commonly found in packaging, present significant challenges for mechanical recycling systems. As a result, while mechanical recycling is ideal for certain types of plastics, its capacity to handle complex waste streams is limited.
Pyrolysis Recycling: An Innovative Alternative
Pyrolysis, on the other hand, represents a more advanced and versatile recycling method. In a plastic pyrolysis plant, plastic waste is subjected to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, causing it to decompose into gaseous products, liquid fuel, and solid residue (char). Unlike mechanical recycling, which only processes clean, homogeneous plastics, pyrolysis can handle mixed and contaminated plastic waste, including items that would typically be discarded in a landfill.
One of the major advantages of pyrolysis is its ability to handle a broad range of plastic types, including those that are difficult to recycle mechanically. Pyrolysis can process a variety of plastic polymers, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE), converting them into valuable byproducts like oil, gas, and carbon black. The oil and gas produced during pyrolysis can be used as alternative fuels, potentially replacing fossil fuels in industrial processes.
Additionally, pyrolysis offers the advantage of reducing the volume of plastic waste by up to 90%. The process also generates energy in the form of syngas, which can be used to power the pyrolysis plant itself, reducing dependence on external energy sources and improving the overall efficiency of the operation.
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
From an environmental standpoint, both mechanical and plastic to oil pyrolysis recycling provide significant benefits compared to landfilling or incineration. Mechanical recycling reduces plastic waste in landfills and minimizes the need for virgin plastic production. However, it is often limited in its ability to handle the growing volume of mixed plastics and contaminated waste streams.
Pyrolysis, by contrast, addresses some of these limitations by offering a more flexible solution for complex and contaminated waste. The ability of pyrolysis to process a wider range of plastic materials not only reduces the volume of waste but also transforms it into usable energy. This makes pyrolysis a more sustainable alternative, especially in areas with limited access to high-quality plastic waste or infrastructure for mechanical recycling.
However, pyrolysis is not without its environmental concerns. The process generates emissions, and the quality of the byproducts, particularly the fuel oils, may vary depending on the type of plastic feedstock. Therefore, proper emission control systems and advanced monitoring technologies are essential to ensure the environmental benefits of pyrolysis outweigh the potential drawbacks.
Cost and Efficiency Considerations
The cost-effectiveness of both recycling methods depends largely on scale and technology. Mechanical recycling, being a more established and less complex technology, generally has lower upfront costs and is more energy-efficient for small to medium-scale operations. However, its ability to produce high-quality, recyclable plastic is often limited by contamination and degradation.
Pyrolysis, while more expensive to establish initially due to the need for specialized equipment like a pyrolysis plant, offers the potential for higher returns through the production of valuable byproducts. The liquid fuels, gases, and carbon char generated by pyrolysis can be sold, offsetting operating costs. Additionally, the ability to recycle a wider range of plastics makes pyrolysis a promising solution for handling the diverse plastic waste streams that are difficult to process through mechanical recycling alone.
Future Outlook: A Complementary Approach
While mechanical recycling remains an essential technology for managing plastic waste, the increasing volume of plastic waste and the growing demand for more comprehensive solutions suggest that pyrolysis technology will play an important role in the future of recycling. By processing more types of plastic and offering valuable byproducts, pyrolysis represents a promising avenue for reducing plastic pollution and promoting circular economy principles.
In conclusion, the choice between mechanical recycling and pyrolysis depends on the types of plastic waste, the desired end products, and the specific environmental and economic goals of the recycling operation. A hybrid approach that integrates both methods may offer the most effective solution for managing the complexities of global plastic waste.
At the beginning of this year we noticed that the Deepin Desktop as it is currently packaged in openSUSE relies on a packaging policy violation to bypass SUSE security team review restrictions.
In January 2025, during routine reviews, we stumbled upon the deepin-feature-enable package, which was introduced on 2021-04-27 without consulting us or even informing us.
This is what vertical integration between distros and GUIs often leads to. This could be completely innocuous from Deepin's end, because that's just how they made it work in Deepin because they have vertical integration on their own stack. However, It's completely bad form.
In general Deepin seems to adopt a lot of commercial software industry practices in building its tools, which I'm sympathetic to on some level, but it's very obvious that the Linux community is not going to accept default-on telemetry. They should have known better after the CNZZ incident.
I had no idea that (open)SUSE was so security minded in their packaging. It makes sense in retrospec. It sucks they didn't catch this earlier, but this response makes me happy to use tumbleweed
In case you think "but those policies are not needed, they are superfluous" (like some Arch devs). They are not. Packagers send their fixes upstream, and then, other distros, with lower standards, consume the already fixed upstream releases, and sometimes pretend that this work was not needed nor present, not realizing that all distros benefit from it even if your policies are more relaxed.
There's a reason why the Deepin Desktop Environment was never part of Debian, and only available via their own ppa repositories, even if the Deepin distro is based in Debian.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
