The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 1078 years to perish.

" if these decrees are still so vital, why has no covered entity requested their removal, even after fifty or sixty years? The silence is not noble. It is mercenary.

At its best, the American legal system uses consent decrees to right institutional wrongs. At its worst, it converts those wrongs into open-ended annuities for politically connected lawyers. The time has come to distinguish between the two."

If you want to support a *nix distro, that's awesome and I fully support you. What you shouldn't support is distributions locking features behind a paywall.

This is how you get Microsoft Windows and Copilot.

Absolutely proprietary

To answer your question--Windows is destructive to *nix boot sectors. When you update Windows, it will bork your *nix install. Dual booting with Windows is a real PITA.

Oxfam: Starvation in #Gaza ‘deliberate, engineered’

from #MiddleEastMonitor
May 12, 2025 at 2:58 pm

"“For over two months, #Israel has enforced a total siege, blocking food, water, medicine and aid, while thousands of trucks filled with life-saving supplies ready for swift distribution, are waiting at the border, metres away, blocked from entering.”

He added that families are “wasting away from hunger”, while children are “malnourished” and “too weak to cry” as entire communities are surviving “without food or clean water”. #Oxfam’s field teams reported that in one displacement camp, only five of 500 families had any flour left to make bread."

I can replace it with another $30 Logitech thingy, but I am really considering getting one of those funky mechanical keyboards... if I can find one that I can afford and won't regret buying.

"Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook ..."
Similarities concerning repressive state action against migrants are outlined, but also German specialities:
" ... three of the four deportation orders cite Germany’s national pledge to defend Israel – the country’s Staatsräson, German for reason of state – as justification."

Hungry Shorkboi

Not likely to feel deprived either, we have halal options for things like bacon and marshmallows that are made with beef instead of pork, and they actually taste better. Anything that is forbidden to us is for our benefit, and the food rules keep us healthy. The clothing rules keep us having a positive self image and being comfortable. Some people opt for more modest clothes than others. I have heard from sisters their reasons for choosing niqab or burqa, and it is always
something to do with boosting their confidence or feeling less stressed out about something they think os a flaw in their appearance. Like a saftey blanket for their self esteem. And I feel the same about thobes and kaftans as a man. I worry less about how I look when I wear longer clothes. Praying salah improves our stress levels and help our mental health. And so on. The reason to do practices is always because of making Allah (swt) happy with us, but the side benefits are known as "fruits" of practice. These usually improve physical or mental health, or quality of life. You can try Sunnah practices without converting if you want to see if I am telling the truth first. For example, try halal food or do wudu when you wake up. Try sleeping laying on your right side with your head cupped in your right hand. (Prevents your liver from sitting on top of your heart as happens when you sleep on the left, you get better sleep, also prevents a relaxed jaw from causing snoring as happens if you sleep on your back. Prevents nightmares and restless sleep, snoring, and stressing the heart or having a low oxygen situation.)

There's a 2017 paper in nature that finds that adults form snap judgement of autistic people based on audio and/or visual cues only, within the first minutes. This even extends to still images.

If only given the text, no such judgement happens.

@Java Hey Rose, this isn’t popular to say these days but the time for stern warnings have long past. It’s time to start enforcing the laws on the books as they apply to everyone. Dem Congress persons storming ICE facilities, giving Social Security to illegals and other crimes need to see justice served!

Ever since I cut my hair a few years ago, I've had a lot of people (including my own mom) ask me what product I use to get my curl pattern. And I'm just like... water? I guess however my hair curls is desirable though it doesn't look any different to me than other people's hair. My mom insists I should be going for a bigger fro but once it hits 1/4" I shave it again. Ain't got no time for styling.

Let's try something. I'm an English technology lawyer in private practice. I can help with tech contracts, software licensing (including FOSS), SaaS and the like, and data protection.

Unlike most lawyers I'm actually technically literate, in that I spent a number of years as a sysadmin before becoming a lawyer, and I've kept up my knowledge since.

I'm practical, quick, and my rates are reasonable. Maybe I could be useful to your business?

Boosts appreciated!
