The elite class in British society, particularly those with left-leaning views, often spread misinformation to support their socially “liberal” agenda, Matt Goodwin says.

For example, in a recent interview with Rupert Lowe MP, Emily Maitlis, a former BBC presenter and now an independent podcaster, misrepresented evidence on Pakistani Muslim rape gangs, claiming that white British men are more likely to be involved in organised rape gangs.

However, evidence from various reports and investigations consistently shows that Pakistani Muslim men are disproportionately more likely to be arrested and convicted of organised rape gang activity. But this evidence is being suppressed because it is considered racist.

Blacks also already enjoy some of the perceived benefits of socialism that whites may not because of programs that specifically benefit their race. Making entitlements more widely available might even be worse for blacks. If Republicans want to win, they should not want someone like AOC to be the face of the Democrats.

Russia has issued a dire warning, branding Berlin a “legitimate nuclear target” as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz fuels escalating tensions by pushing to arm Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles. Merz’s provocative claim to ZDF that such deliveries are “within the realms of possibility” signals a bold challenge to Moscow’s red lines, heightening fears of nuclear retaliation.

Germany’s defense ministry further intensified the crisis, announcing that Berlin will finance the production of long-range weapons systems in Ukraine, with the first units potentially deployed by Ukrainian forces within weeks. This move, part of Merz’s broader commitment to bolster Ukraine’s military, aligns with his assertion that allies like the US, UK, and France have lifted arms restrictions, though Washington has yet to confirm this shift.

The Kremlin’s response was swift and uncompromising, with the State Duma Defense Committee declaring that Russia will react “harshly, asymmetrically, and decisively” if Germany supplies Taurus missiles to Kyiv. This stark warning underscores the growing risk of direct confrontation, as Merz’s aggressive stance, unbacked by clear allied consensus, places Berlin in Moscow’s crosshairs, raising global alarm over the potential for catastrophic escalation.

Here's another #privacy and #security wake up call for you, and yet ANOTHER reason never to hand your drivers' license over to anyone (even your doctor).

Do you have an Android phone? The built-in QR reader can read many more barcodes other than QR codes.

Scan the 2D barcode on the back of your drivers' license. The one that looks like a random block of thin and stacked black & white lines.

Here's my data. I have redacted sensitive things for my privacy:

@

ANSI 6#######0102DL0######9ZN03####06D#D#Q5#######7
DCSE######## (last name)
DDEU
DACGEORGE (first name)
DDFU
DAD###### (middle name)
DDGU
DCAD
DCBB
DCDNONE
DBD1######4 (date my drivers' license was issued)
DBB0######2 (my birthdate)
DBA1######2 (drivers' license expiration date)
DBC1
DAU### in (my height in inches)

DAW### (unknown)
DCK5#########1 (drivers' license number w/ check digit)

DDB0######2 (now this is interesting. Not sure what this is for, it's a date that is over 2 years earlier than me moving to New Mexico, in fact based on the date I hadn't even retired yet.)

Think twice before handing over your drivers' license to a bouncer at a bar or your doctors' office. That little barcode on the back of your license contains a LOT of personal information, information you may not want a bouncer or bar to have in their records. Same thing applies to hotels and stuff.

GET A PASSPORT CARD! Or present and carry your Passport Book (if you have one). If not, get one. For as much money as they cost and as much of a hassle that they are to get, they are a helluva lot more private and secure than your drivers' license.

[Resolved] Looking for recommendations -- CD Ripper

Hey hey, I have been using Sound Juicer on my Ubuntu 24 / KDE 5 PC and it works, but it doesn't handle the tags for my MP3 files very nicely. I've also used abcde, at the terminal, and that can be better but it takes a lot finessing at the CLI to get the result I want.

Is there a better CD ripper application that will run on Ubuntu and can make setting the MP3 tags dead simple?

Thanks for any ideas!

Edit: Fixed a typo

ETA: Asunder looks good, does what I need and works well on my PC. Thanks for everyone's ideas and help!

Looking up Picard's instructions... They recommend whipper, as others have done in the thread.

It can do the tagging for you, but it's important to note that music CDs do not contain metadata.

All the rippers that exist, look up what the CD is online, based on stuff like number of tracks, their lengths, and order. iTunes was the ripping software everyone used back in the day, because Apple made and maintained the first extensive database that could be used to automatically tag ripped music.

Modern rippers typically rely on MusicBrainz (like Picard).

As such there is no 100% reliable auto-tagging ripper, because a disc might match more than one album, or not be in the database. Such cases will always require manual intervention.

#Linux #terminal #commandline #linuxcommunity #linuxcommands #linuxcommands

So, our first recommendation will be homebrew, it's sort of a pre-requisite to get a lot of command line utilities that your distro might not have packaged.

You can install homebrew with one command line, and then you can get any CLI utility you want by running brew install, followed by the name of the tool you need.

Our second pick is FZF, for Fuzzy Find. It lets you search files extremely fast using their names, but it can also look through command history, processes, bookmarks, git commits, and more.

ATUIN thing replaces your shell history with a database you can search through super easily. Once it's installed with brew, press the up arrow key or control +r, and you'll get a search interface to look for all your commands.

CHEZMOI lets you manage your dotfiles. It lets you share these config files across devices by syncing them to a got repo, and it can interface with a very large variety of password managers to keep everything safe.

If you use a laptop, and you find Linux's batter life to be a bit subpar, maybe look at POWERTOP.
Just run the command powertop, and you'll see all processes. Using tab, you can navigate to various statistics, but also to the "tunables" screen, which will show you what powertop identifies as a bad configuration for battery life.

If you'd like to tune these, you can rune powertop --auto-tune, and it will change all the settings to what it believes are "good" options for battery life saving, although it might impact the performance.

If you'd like to quickly analyze what uses a lot of disk space on your computer, or on a remote server, you might want to replace the du and df commands with DUST.

If you run a dual boot, and you're facing problems with accessing one of your installed systems, you can force GRUB to reboot into a specific system, just for the next boot, using the grub-reboot command, followed by the number of the grub entry for that system.

If you need to monitor for resource usage on your computer, you might be using top, or htop, but BTOP is a better option. It looks better than htop or top, and it's also more legible.

If you often use the cat command to read a file, maybe try BAT instead. It does the same thing, but it also has syntax highlighting for a bunch of files, and it communicates with git to show modifications in files, with the usual Plus and minuses symbols.

If man is too much for you and is too much reading, and if the --help option isn't enough, why not try TLDR? It gives you an abridged version of the contents of MAN for most of the available programs and commands, and it makes things more legible, and easier to parse at a glance.

If you like to split a terminal or a tty into multiple terminals, ZELLIJ is a nice alternative to things like tmux. It's basically a tiling window manager for your terminal workspace: you can define your own layout, it supports plugins, floating panes, and more.

You can run it by running the zellij command, and then you can create a new pane pressing alt + N, you can move a pane using control +h, or make it floating with Control + P, then W.

If you often use ls to list files in a directory, you might want to take a look at EZA. It does the same job, as in, it lists the contents of a directory, but it does it with way more details, and a more legible interface.

The Human #Brain May Contain as Much as a Spoon’s Worth of #Microplastics, New #Research Suggests


source: smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/…

#Microplastic concentrations were also three to five times higher in the brains of patients with #dementia, compared to cognitively normal brains. It’s not clear whether microplastics may cause or contribute to dementia, nor whether dementia-induced changes to the brain might allow more microplastics to enter.

Being limited isn't that big a deal. My instance has them limited because of their lax moderation and an excess of reply guys. All it means is that I get a notification saying "Someone you might know sent you a notification" and I get to review and accept or deny the notification depending. Plus they have to request permission to follow me so I get to check them out before accepting.

I still have tons of mutuals on .social and I get new ones all the time. While each person making the choice about whether to accept notifications or follows from a particular user is going to make their own choices, I don't think it's particularly inconvenient.

::: spoiler AfD sidebar
For their lack of adequate moderation capacity / interest, .social has one topic they tend to over-react to. AfD sympathizing isn't that one thing. Not to suggest they're right here. I'd need the thread context and a better understanding of German to weigh in on that. Moderators are human and they're going to make a bad call eventually. I'm not in a position to guess whether they made a bad call here. AfD aren't just some normal political party, though.

Sorry, I think I had problems untangling your words.

But the equation of discrimination against Jews (always wrong) with criticising the political nation-state of Israel ... just makes me Very Angry. One is (rightly) a crime, the other is legitimate political comment.

But the awful "a-s" word combines the two as though they are the same thing. This means that, if I criticise Israel, they say "a-s!", and tar me with the brush of Holocaust support, or something equally vile. 😭

Preferred Creative Writing Applications

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has a preferred software for the purpose of creative writing.

Libre Office Writer is great of course, but just as software like LogSeq or Obsidian exist for the note taking process, I was wondering if there is anything that is specifically geared toward the creative writing process.

I know that there are federated blog platforms which focus on this in their presentation, but was curious about applications specifically.

FOSS is definitely preferable.

Thanks!

Huh? What's wrong with Overleaf?

If you "only" need beautiful PDF and it doesn't have to be online, you can also use Typst with vscode and tinymist as editor locally. Not as powerful as TeX, but I know few people for use TeX even remotely to its fullest. The upside of Typst is, that the "core" syntax for content writing is very markdown-like, so you can focus on writing instead of the underlying language.

Holy shit, thank you! I had no idea overleaf was open source; you have cleared my conscience. Typst seems interesting, but I am a bit of a typesetting nerd and quite used to latex anyway. Transition now would be difficult. I'll check it out though, it might be nice for drafts and such. Thanks again!

I'm definitely going to share Typst with non-tex-addicts though, it does seem really cool.

can I trim the black margins of several mkv files on debian 12.11 with ffmpeg or mkvtoolnix?

when I say trim I don't mean to time trim a file, like getting rid of the last 2 minutes of the mkv file, but to picture trim every frame of the mkv file to get rid of black margins to both left and right of the actual image.

Files were originally recorded on 4:3 aspect ratio (some are movies from the 1950's) but the encoder somehow created / copied huge black margins to both left and right of the actual image. I want to get rid of these.

Some of my files are 30 minutes long but others 2 hours.

if ffmpeg is the application I need, could anyone knowledgeable enough write the actual command?
