Written by Alex Jones, Ph.D. candidate at Imperial College London After a busy few months exploring the outer slopes of the Jezero crater rim at an area named “Witch Hazel Hill,” the Perseverance Science Team was eyeing another sample of these truly ancient rocks, which likely predate Jezero crater itself. The target? A rock containing […]
Gov. Gavin Newsom is seeking to short-cut permitting of a proposed $20-billion water tunnel project. Environmental groups condemn the plan as an attempt to bypass necessary procedures.

I use Silverblue and MacOS daily, I enjoy the former so much more.
Unfortunately my relatively new Lenovo laptop has a small but also major driver bug that hasn’t been fixed in all the time I’ve had it. Bad to the point I got the Mac to have actual working hardware. But I do not enjoy MacOS.
Laptops specifically have been such an Achilles heel for Linux due to driver issues and battery issues. I honestly would just rather stick with OSX and containerize. The thing that might test that is X86 support lapsing at least for some of my MBPs.

well, i have good news and bad news. the good news is my shop press worked to press out the bearing out of the acura knuckle. bad news is, the bearing got ruined in the process.
apparently this is just how it's designed and you always have to replace it. when taking it apart. there seems to be no real way to remove it without destroying it
fear not though i ordered some new bearings. really need to get this whole thing apart and totally freshened up, sandblasted and painted so it's all like-new condition before i put it back together
“$8 Dollar Gas?” - Gavin Newsom’s Gas Gamble Could Cost California Residents BIG A new study predicts California gas could hit $8.43 in 2025 due to refinery closures and regulatory pressure. Even Democrats like ex-LA Mayor Villaraigosa are warning that Newsom’s climate policies are driving prices up. With ripple effects expected in Nevada and Arizona, the PBD Podcast breaks down what this means for blue state residents and the 2024 race.

MK-Ultra, CIA Mind Control & Brain Washing to Make Assassins Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program. #USA #US #american #CIA #mkultra #psyops #fraud #mindmanipulation #history
MKULTRA Subproject 1: Isolate and characterize the alkaloids of ipomoea sidalia choisy (Rivea Corymbosa) MORI ID: 17354 Contractor’s Clearance: TOP SECRET Location: Princeton University Years: 1953 ― 1954 CIA Monitor: Robert V. Lashbrook
MKULTRA Subproject 2: (See Subprojects 124 and 140) Miscellaneous research and testing services in behavioral modification. 1. Study the possible synergistic action of drugs which may be appropriate for use in abolishing consciousness through animal experimentation. 2. Survey of methods to enable the administration of drugs to patients without their knowledge.
MKULTRA Subproject 3: (See Subprojects 16, 42, 132, and 149) Realistic field testing of R&D items of interest to Technical Services Staff. This is the infamous safehouses known as Operation Midnight Climax.
MKULTRA Subproject 4: Subprojects 4, 15, and 19 are to fund the contractor, a magician, to write a manual on the various aspects of the magicians’ art which could be useful in covert operations. The result was Mulholland’s Manual, declassified and published in 2009 as The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception.
MKULTRA Subproject 5: Successful demonstration of “potentialities of hypnosis as a tool of the clandestine services”. Research in hypnosis was to determine if: hypnosis could be used as a memory enhancer, a learning aid, a polygraph deceiver, etc. Also,research into susceptibility of certain personality types to hypnosis.
MKULTRA Subproject 6: Develop reliable source of LSD within the United States and assist in the search for additional natural hypnotic products. Previously supplier, Sandoz, based in Switzerland.
LINMOB.net is a blog about LINux on MOBile devices. With the PinePhone (Pro) and Librem 5 shipping it is back to report on GNU+Linux on mobile devices.
The PinePhone Pro tangent in the "Sidenote: What about the Librem 5?" section in linmob.net/gtk-418-the-pinepho… had to be corrected after playing with Megapixels 2.0 alpha 1 on the #PinePhonePro
I still daily drive my Pinephone. I've been looking for a good replacement for it but I still haven't found anything.
I've been thinking about getting the Pro, but the state of the software is not quite there yet (at least from what I've been reading). The best option I found is the Fairphone 5.
I really hope something better comes out before the OG Pinephone becomes completely unusable. The FP5 is more expensive than I need and I'd rather buy a Linux-first device.
@k8ie I think it really depends on which OS you want to run, and what the time frame is. If the PinePhone works for you, I don't think there's any much need to worry. I was actually almost positively surprised during my experiments that led to the blog post: Mobian Trixie (which ships GTK 4.18) worked surprisingly well overall from SD card, and the Alpine 3.21 container is nice and small and keeps a working Megapixels around.
@k8ie For current options, it's not too easy: - FuriLabs FLX1 reportedly is a good experience, but no mainline, - RK3588s options (Liberux Nexx, dawndrums Divine D) seem multiple months away, - FairPhone 5 lacks audio support on mainline (USB-C dongle works though), - Shiftphone 8 (same SoC as Fairphone 5, but 12 GB RAM is supposedly shipping in August) and how well support will pan out is unknown. OnePlus 6, Poco F1, Pixel 3a are affordable, but also aging (with hard(er) to replace batteries).
Second attempt.

@artificial-intelligence-Futurism yeah i mean an org that acts like this is essentially saying "oh sorry, it went viral. we'll try again later when hopefully no one is looking". like you said, accounts deleted. do they think i'm going to take the time to re-upload that shit?
@TXPatriot2021 if every station showed the talks/interviews of the foreign dignitaries they wouldn’t be so surprised. The honors that have been shown POTUS have been awesome. Everyone has smiles and eager to talk to him and shake hands. I know ya’ll don’t like FOX and I talk them with a handful of salt, but they have been broadcasting most of the stuff going on. It really should be on all TV like the Space ships were. It’s historical.
I just found out about TLP - a module to download with apt, which is a good utility for maintaining the laptop battery. You can set a minimum charge value, and a maximum charge value. But it is not sufficient for my use case. My question is - is there any utility I can use to discharge the battery WHILE connected to AC?
The reason behind this is: I want to use the solar power during the day to charge up the battery to 80 or 90% and then discharge the battery in the evening to 15-20%. Afterwards use AC power again. The solar energy during mid-day is cheaper and available in abundance.
On a big level with many computers this could make a good impact on the energy network, or am I wrong?
I've got a 2021 Dell laptop. In uefi, you can set charge times and type of charge, 50%,80%, full, and smart. I think it's in like 1/2 hour blocks by day. By that I mean on (day of week) from 9:30am to 6:00pm charge full, different day may have different settings. .
@Intheflsun @Floopquist What I meant is that I do not think you can have it discharge the battery when AC is present without altering the PD chips firmware.
The converter says "Output: 65W" So it would be something, and a good place to start as the battery is there anyway and is plugged in all the time too, anyway.
That's the absolute maximum output, a typical laptop uses more like 2-6W while running.
Plus cycling the battery like that will wear it out faster, and they're generally only rated for 500 or so cycles. The replacement cost would likely easily over come any savings.
Somebody is going to #hack these #AI companies so bad.
They absolutely are not even thinking about #InformationSecurity or #CyberSecurity. At. All. No startup does. Hell, even cyber security startups rarely think about their own cyber security. And when it happens it's going to be a shit-show like none we've ever seen or imagined.
Imagine your entire Company's IP is now tied up in processes that not only do you not fully control but that you don't fully understand either.
And something similar to the Great Irish Potato Famine comes along and wipes everything out.
Heh.
Yeah. Good luck.
It's not a matter of if something like that will happen, but when, and at the rate some of these Companies are going, when might get here sooner rather than later.

This is why we say "critical support". China gets a lot of things right but this definitely is not one of them and they can and certainly should do better on this.
This is probably the biggest thing most of us who support AES states criticize constantly.
Do you want China to be another USA? Because interference with the open market and manipulating other nations with tariffs and sanctions is something China promises not to do unilaterally, unless they are attacked in the same way. Thus, China cannot interfere with normal Chinese-Israeli business. Does that mean construction materials and labour will go to construct things where the Chinese government itself may not want? Sure, but it also means the Chinese will never cut you off unilaterally.
The only way to change this is to petition the UN for global sanctions. But USA will clearly block anything with help from their allies. China simply refuses to take any market distorting actions, and like it or not, construction is absolutely normal business activity.

The problem with stupidity is that it doesn’t have a natural opposite.
What I mean by that is that lies are exposed and destroyed by truth.
Ignorance is erased by knowledge.
Foolishness is curbed by wisdom.
But stupidity remains undisturbed by reason, wisdom, argument or new information. The act of stupidity requires shutting off all inputs that could otherwise intrude upon the stupid idea.
When you fight against stupidity, all you do is make the mess worse, and get it on yourself.

🇮🇱🇵🇸💥 28 morts d'un coup : la frappe massive d' #Israël contre l'hôpital européen de #Gaza à été dévastatrice Dans la soirée du 13 mai, les forces israéliennes ont attaqué l'hôpital européen de #KhanYounis, dans la bande de Gaza. Selon Al Jazeera, au moins 28 personnes ont été tuées. Parmi elles se trouvent des patients et du personnel médical. Les frappes ont touché directement le bâtiment de l’hôpital, provoquant une indignation considérable au sein de la communauté internationale. 🇮🇱 L'armée israélienne affirme avoir frappé un centre de commandement et de contrôle du Hamas, qui aurait été caché sous l’hôpital. Le ministère israélien a déclaré avoir attaqué l'installation dans le cadre de la lutte contre les terroristes, mais n'a pas précisé dans quelle mesure l'attaque contre les infrastructures civiles était justifiée. L'hôpital européen de Gaza est un hôpital public palestinien fondé par l'Office de secours et de travaux des Nations Unies pour le Proche-Orient ( #UNRWA) en 1989 avec une subvention de l'UE. L’hôpital fournit depuis longtemps des soins médicaux aux réfugiés palestiniens et aux habitants de la région souffrant de la guerre et du blocus.

My 17yr old was ranting last night about teachers encouraging the use of AI and how stupid it was.
They had done a quiz about a film, and the quiz had been ai generated. They spent most of the lesson pointing out all of the mistakes in the quiz and the woefully incorrect answers.
It became an impromptu lesson on why you *shouldn't* use AI.
I still think it’s backwards that mass shooters owning assault weapons is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

The article claims only phone numbers and 2FA codes got leaked. If you didn't have 2FA connected to your SMS you might be fine. Your actual account password isn't affected.
the article makes no mention of usernames or passwords being leaked. and while a leak of phone numbers is obviously a problem, historical sms 2fa codes are, well, historical and aren't an active risk to account security
steam's authentication process never even sends a plaintext password to the backend if i remember right, so they definitely know how to do account security and not to store plaintext passwords
The article doesn't say passwords were leaked, just 2FA codes through the SMS provider. You could use access to the 2FA code to reset a user's password, but that's not the same as a password hash leak.
tbf - this is not as big of a panic moment as it may seem. This is only historic OTP data. Steam Guard seems to be as funxtional as when Gaben fave out his password/mail combo couple years ago to prove the point of otp codes.
Id expect more targetted phishing with the phone numbers though
Folks, there is 0 evidence that Steam passwords have been breached. Unless and until credible evidence occurs, please do NOT urge people to change their login credentials and please do NOT boost other people's toots doing the same.
Looks like it's probably just 2FA info -- specifically SMS 2FA numbers -- that got leaked probably. If anyone is using SMS 2FA, they definitely should do something about it.
I won't disagree that changing passwords just to be on the safe side is a good idea though. I disagree with those who so adamantly insist that even though there is evidence of a breach of some kind we should just ignore it just because it's not immediately showing signs of including passwords.
So the great thing about Fedi is that you can edit your posts as new information comes in. No need to write a separate update post, and it spreads just as well as the original. Updating the post to remove factually incorrect information also helps to boost the credibility behind the message that changing passwords is still a good practice. Anyway, that's a long-winded way of saying I think you should update the post, but fully support pushing people to update passwords. ^^
Changing my password was made extremely difficult by the way. I use steamguard-cli and ente Auth for 2FA but steam insisted on sending me a code to the app. I had to jump through many hoops to end up at email verification again.
The 2FA had to be fully removed before I could change my pw 😅

People from other countries also count to the total of signatures. It just *especially* needs also the threshold in a number of countries specifically.
You might want to phrase that differently. It's not clear what the percentages stand for. Is it the amount of votes that are missing, the amount of votes cast _ and in that case, why is Slovenia on it? – or something else?
Just in case some people think that signing is useless because they are from a country already above the threshold: that's not the case. It's very likely that the initiative will meet the 7 country threshold (Netherlands has made it already, and Slovenia is nearly there) and yet will fail to meet the global 1 000 000 signatures. So, right now, everybody must sign!
Already signed. Maybe it would help to explain what „conversion therapy“ is would help. When I’ve first read your post I was wondering: is this a good thing or a bad one? (I’ve never heard of this before so it sounded like some variation of psychotherapy)
I don’t know the history of this issue (thou I found info about legal texts and initiatives where it seems already banned in some coubtries), but here are my two cents: 1. “conversion therapy” is a very weird and misleading name. 2. I might be wrong but what is described is a form of violence and I’m surprised if it’s not already covered by the many laws covering many forms of violence.
