Interview: "Imperial Decline”
At the NATO summit, almost all European nations agreed to raise military spending to 5% of GDP after Trump threatened to withhold US defence if they didn't.
“Trump wants to move towards a much, much more instrumental & crudely material, transactional politics."

Government Media Office has stated that in just 30 days, Israeli forces killed 549 starved Palestinians, injured 4,066, & left 39 missing, all while they were trying to reach food at so-called US-Israeli “aid centers” across #Gaza.
What was promoted as “humanitarian aid” became a systematic trap. People were lured, then gunned down as they reached for survival

Zohran Mamdani has a lot of great ideas for programs that will make NYC livable and affordable for everyone.
He should add a free N95 mask program to that list.
N95 masks improve public health by protecting people from airborne viruses and wildfire smoke.
Providing them for free increases their use and decreases stigma.
it's important to note that the more food you eat, the more toxins you store and metabolize. many toxins like pesticides are fat soluble. high fructose corn syrup is one of the main contributors to obseity and it's often contaminated with mercury.
so fat people are inherently going to be suffering from far more brain damage than people who control their food intake

Big Tech plans to use lots more water. They just don't want the public to know.
Cooling alone can account for up to 40% of a data center’s total electricity consumption.
A major shift we’re seeing is the move from reliance on air-cooling systems to liquid cooling solutions.
Techniques like chilled water loops, direct-to-chip (cold plate) cooling, and immersion cooling are gaining popularity.

Never forget:
The white-supremacist victors of ww2 designed "international law" to apply to black & brown people, not white.
The ICC was fondly known as the "International Caucasian Court".

A brief look into history and politics has convinced me that protected nations are those with nuclear weapons. Unprotected nations are those without.
Development of nuclear weapons is prohibited to any third-world nation with resources the western world can exploit.
Just so happens, black and brown people tend to live in those places. But I would not be surprised if racism didn't play a large part in their decisions, given the time in which it was all decided.

Hi!. Currently running Linux Mint 22.1, but i suspect it's not strictly a distro issue. This laptop was running VERY well but was outdated, running Mint 19.3, some things were unable to be installed because the system libraries were old (didn't expect Calibre to be one of them, figures), so i updated all the way to that moment's current version which was Mint 21.3. All of a sudden it felt like the laptop got downgraded two whole computer tech generations. As soon as i ask it to do something mildly complicated that made it break no sweat on Mint 19, it gets VERY slow, all the cores start running at max, system load increases, until it finishes doing whatever it was doing several minutes later, something between a couple of minutes when lucky, to 20 or more. Typically what triggers the issue is something on the browser (what i use the most on the computer is browser tabs and lots of terminals) but not exclusively. Thought it was the browser but replicated it on an empty Firefox profile, and has triggered with simpler stuff like the Discord client. Been trying to find the issue for a while trying to avoid a full reinstall, no luck so far.
If i were to describe how it feels, it's like there was a bottleneck on tasks being done by the system, as soon as you ask it to do something mildly complex it chokes on it and tasks accumulate. No idea if it's some kind of kernel misconfiguration, if it's some hardware incompatibility, or something else entirely, checking the changelogs of Mint all the way between 19.3 and 21.3 showed nothing i could pin this onto (or at least nothing i could notice).
The nuclear option would be a brand new blank install but I'd MUCH rather avoid that if possible, made the comfortable but now unwise choice of a single partition for everything (instead of a separate /home and whatnot as i used to do) so reinstallation would wipe it completely, if i must then i must but much rather not.
Would welcome VERY much ideas on stuff to check or try.
Edit: It's got an NVME drive, which seems to be healthy as far as i can see
Edit: When it happens it doesn't seem to matter how much RAM is free, seen it happen with only 8 of the 32Gb of RAM in use and zero swap
Edit: Found a great way to describe how it feels like: Have you done heavy video encoding on a computer that's adequate for the task but not more than that, and noticed how everything in it stalls heavily, even if there's plenty of RAM free and the computer feels like it's giving everything to that task only? Pretty much that, but for nearly everything even moderately heavy
☣️ Newer versions of the virus have improved their ability to evade the natural defenses of the human immune system. "The virus has certainly mutated away from what we saw a decade ago," said UNCC computational biologist Colby T. Ford, Ph.D., who led the study. "They don't even look the same."
These adaptations increase the pandemic potential of the virus, he said, and candidate vaccines developed 10 years ago may not be efficacious against contemporary strains of the virus. "This has the potential to be bad."

in reply to mintiefresh • • •No it doesn't. Assuming the translation is accurate, they said they still like turn-based games and will continue making turn-based games. Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default would fit here, especially in reference to their desire to make more "mid tier" games when asked about Clair Obscur. "For Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest" does not appear in the translated text as context to making more turn-based games, though I don't think Dragon Quest has been real-time to date? Hey, maybe I'm wildly off base here, but it appears to me like the author of this article added what they wanted the tweet to say rather than what it actually says.
