The Netherlands is about to introduce a new law that makes helping supposedly illegal migrants/refugees a criminal offence. So yes. The Netherlands is reintroducing the Nazi law that made hiding Anne Frank illegal. As a Dutchie I am ashamed, angry and powerless (as I live in Germany). Geert Wilders, and every single Dutchie who voted for his PVV, may you burn in hell.

Ce qui est fantastique, c'est que dans la version originale pour violon seul, on entend aussi bien toutes ces notes. Mais bon, c'est Bach. Le Maรฎtre.
like this
...and the original:
Heifetz made it his iconic encore piece. Although I feel this recording isn't his best, was made a bit late in his career, and he maybe was a bit jaded about doing it yet again, you can still appreciate the mastery. When I was a kid I would lie under my mother's piano listening to Heifetz playing the Bach unaccompanied stuff on the old LP.
Listen about 25 seconds in to hear him play a melody line sounding as though that were the only thing he was playing despite all the stuff going on around it. Listen for variety of volume and tonal quality in different sections. IMO he distinguishes the effects better than anyone else before or since.
Heifetz' playing was unique in many ways. I have read interviews with famous violinists who said that when listening to recordings of other top violinists playing they were not really sure who it was but with Heifetz there was never any mistake.
youtu.be/vhOaS_Cy8_8?si=2Cf31iโฆ
Here is a more contemporary and perhaps more accessible version by the wonderful Hilary Hahn. Where Heifetz frequently played Bach at what most performers would consider high speed, Hahn's rendition is probably slower than average.
If you have 16:47 available do yourself a favor. It'll grow in you as it goes.

At dawn on Wednesday, June 25 in Massarosa (in the province of Lucca), there was a search at the home of an anarchist, in connection with the investigation carried out by the Bologna prosecutorโs office for the burning of two railway police cars, which took place in Rimini on April 20, 2023 (see here). The action was carried out in solidarity with Chilean anarchists Monica and Francisco, who were soon to be tried for several bombings in Santiago, Chile, and with Alfredo Cospito, who had just ended a six-month hunger strike.
The charges are articles 423 (arson), 270 bis para. 1 (subversive association with the purpose of terrorism), 110 (participation in a crime or misdemeanor) and 635 (damage). Fifteen anarchists, from different regions of Italy, are under investigation. The next day, the police showed up, still at dawn, at the home of another anarchist for a search in connection with some tags that had appeared in the Massa court during one of the hearings of the Scripta Scelera trial under art. 639 of the Penal Code (slight damage and defilement).

#Israรซl est responsable de ยซ lโun des #gรฉnocides les plus cruels de lโhistoire moderne ยป, a dรฉclarรฉ jeudi la rapporteure spรฉciale de lโ #ONU sur le territoire palestinien occupรฉ, Francesca #Albanese, accusant Tel-Aviv dโutiliser #Gaza comme un terrain dโexpรฉrimentation militaire et appelant ร une action internationale forte, incluant un #embargo total sur les #armes ainsi que la suspension des relations commerciales et des investissements.
ยซ La situation dans les territoires palestiniens occupรฉs est apocalyptique ยป, a-t-elle affirmรฉ devant le Conseil des droits de lโhomme, oรน elle a prรฉsentรฉ son dernier rapport. ยซ ร Gaza, les Palestiniens continuent de souffrir au-delร de lโimaginable. Israรซl est responsable de lโun des gรฉnocides les plus cruels de lโhistoire moderne. ยป
Francesca Albanese a soulignรฉ que si les chiffres officiels font รฉtat de plus de 200 000 Palestiniens tuรฉs ou blessรฉs, les experts mรฉdicaux estiment que le bilan rรฉel est bien plus lourd. Elle a รฉgalement qualifiรฉ de ยซ piรจge mortel ยป la ยซ Fondation humanitaire ร Gaza ยป โ nouveau mรฉcanisme dโaide mis en place par Israรซl ยซ conรงue pour tuer ou forcer ร fuir une population affamรฉe, bombardรฉe, รฉmaciรฉe et vouรฉe ร lโanรฉantissement. ยป
Elle a mis en lumiรจre les profits rรฉalisรฉs pendant la guerre : en vingt mois, les entreprises dโarmement ont engrangรฉ des bรฉnรฉfices record en fournissant ร Israรซl des armes utilisรฉes pour bombarder Gaza. ยซ Ces sociรฉtรฉs ont fait des profits proches des records en รฉquipant Israรซl avec des armes de pointe qui ont permis de larguer 85 000 tonnes dโexplosifs, soit six fois la puissance dโHiroshima, pour dรฉtruire Gaza ยป, a-t-elle dรฉclarรฉ.

Francesca Albanese a appelรฉ les รtats ร des mesures audacieuses : ยซ Les รtats membres doivent imposer un embargo complet sur les armes ร Israรซl, suspendre tous les accords commerciaux et relations dโinvestissement, et garantir que les entitรฉs impliquรฉes soient tenues lรฉgalement responsables de leur participation ร de graves violations du droit international. ยป
Elle a รฉgalement exhortรฉ les entreprises ร agir : ยซLes entitรฉs commerciales doivent immรฉdiatement cesser toute activitรฉ et rompre tout lien contribuant directement aux violations des droits humains et aux crimes internationaux contre le peuple palestinien. ยป
Albanese a conclu en sโadressant ร la sociรฉtรฉ civile: ยซ Les syndicats, avocats, ONG et simples citoyens doivent encourager les entreprises et les gouvernements ร changer de comportement, en exigeant des boycotts, dรฉsinvestissements, sanctions et poursuites judiciaires.

Here is how to fix several common audio issues with your computer.System76 Support
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ASUSLaptop_Q530VJ
I'm trying to see if maybe i've done something where I have pipewire, pulseaudio, wireplumber all set up at the same time? I also don't really understand the difference between them
like this
Okay, so this is one of Asus's consumer models that fits in the "Windowstop" category, meaning a lot of the hardware is going to be windows-only for various reasons.
It's got an ALC272 which IS supported, but that doesn't mean the microphone will be, especially if it's on the USB bus for whatever reason.
Couple questions:
1) Do other microphones work, just not internal?
2) Does your volume control work as expected
3) Does the webcam work, and does the internal microphone work only when the webcam is engaged?
4) What do apps like Discord or Zoom detect as available for your inputs?
As a test, install pavucontrol
and qasmixer
. Open pavucontrol, and check ALL the input settings (there are many combos). If nothing there shows activity, launch qasmixer, select the 'hw' view on the right, then try selecting different mixers and see if one finally clicks.
If any of these are successful, your mic is detected, and your mixer settings are messed up so it's not being enabled as an input sink.
If none of these work, you're going to have to dig restart, then run sudo dmesg
and grep through looking for information regarding audio devices, or similar errors to see if it can't detect it.
From the product specs, it looks like it might have Harmon Kardon speakers, which may also tie into the microphone, and that's going to be problematic if it's a USB device for a number of reasons I won't dive into. Overall, this model just seems to be problematic from digging around. Example: reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/160โฆ
the internal mic used to work but then I had to do some update and now its not.
Is there a chance that there is some config file that is blocking something? like i made some kind of setting in a config file that is making this happen?
Config wouldn't BLOCK it from being detected, that's the problem.
Have you checked for a BIOS update recently?

Audio devices can have multiple modes or "profiles" that determine what they do.
For my headset I have:
For my internal sound card I have:
If I set my headset to one of the options that doesn't have "+ Mono Input" the mic stops working and doesn't even show up in settings and apps anymore. Same if I use the "Stereo Output" mode on my internal sound card. They must be set to a mode with both output and input enabled to work.
I can see this from "Sound" in my KDE settings, but you can also configure this in the "Configuration" tab of pavucontrol.
