Israel Defense Minister Unveils Plan for ‘Concentration Camp’ in Gaza
Well they have an unlimited supply of bombs... The US is in cahoots on the greater Israel project... "Hoist with his own petard" is a phrase that comes to mind : )
ICE arrests four people after they appear in immigration court
ICE agents arrested four people Thursday morning outside of immigration courtrooms in downtown San Francisco. Mission Local witnessed one of the arrests in the hallway outside of the courtrooms at 630 Sansome St., an ICE field office that contains some of San Francisco’s immigration courtrooms and a short-term detention facility. The man left the courtroom following his hearing. Mission Local saw him handcuffed in the hallway outside the courtroom, surrounded by ICE agents and the building’s security staff.

"This 17-minute interview today with the UN's Francesca Albanese -- now under outrageous Trump Administration sanctions -- is well worth watching for its hard-hitting analysis of the corporate role in propping up Israeli apartheid. It also points directions for the US movement for BDS to follow in picking its choices for boycotts."
We speak with United Nations expert Francesca Albanese, one day after the Trump administration announced it is imposing sanctions on her over her advocacy for Palestinian rights. Albanese has served as the U.N.
So, I have this new laptop I got which has an NVIDIA RTX 4090M GPU, and also an integrated Intel GPU. Obviously, I only want to use the Intel GPU for less intensive apps, and to use the NVIDIA GPU for games or other intensive applications, such as AI.
Through trial, error, and lucky searches on the internet, I figured out some things that do and don't work.
Plugging in the laptop makes the NVIDIA GPU run much faster
The default Fedora NVIDIA drivers work fine, I don't need to install any alternatives
To make a normal app use the GPU, all I have to do is right click the icon and click 'Launch with discrete GPU' (on GNOME), or to make it open with discrete GPU by default (and launching with the integrated GPU would be an option in the context menu), I have to copy the desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications, and edit the .desktop file so it contains the line PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true
For Steam apps, the previous method doesn't work (for some reason - maybe it uses a custom launch process?), but after trying many different ways, I was able to get most Steam apps to use the correct GPU (GPU 0) by adding the custom launch option PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0 %command%
For some reason, this doesn't work for Hogwarts Legacy. It, of all games, really wants to use the Intel graphics - even with the custom launch command, PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true, and in game setting the preferred GPU to my NVIDIA one - yes, it is listed and recognised in game - I can tell both from the Resources app and the abysmal performance that my NVIDIA GPU is not being used and my Intel GPU is
Other apps like Portal RTX, The Witcher 3, ComfyUI (running through Krita AI Diffusion), Blender, and Civilisation 6 are running great with the NVIDIA GPU
I do not have prime-run installed and do not need it
Good analysis of what makes a MAGAt tick…and EXACTLY why the DNC needs to shed its dependency on 0.01% owner-donors and press popular programs people WANT. We need more like Bernie and Zohran! And totally with her that a lot of Trumpers can be brought in with something BETTER.

"At Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence, the establishment of humanitarian zones will also proceed during any ceasefire, should one occur. According to the plan, each Gazan entering the humanitarian zone will undergo inspection to ensure they carry no weapons and are not affiliated with Hamas. Consequently, those outside these zones will later be identified as Hamas terrorists, providing legal justification for their elimination."
Israel is planning to exterminate all the Palestinians who will not voluntarily enter their concentration camps, and literally nobody cares.
yesterday I learned that repositories on github can have a .github/README.md file which will be shown in place of the regular readme when people view the repository on github
this is really useful for all your projects you're moving github where you still want to temporarily leave a mirror behind; instead of changing the default branch you can just have it render the github-specific readme that explains the situation, but people cloning from git will still see all the regular content:

there's a lot to like about Tiddlywiki but not if you want to use it in a way where you aren't just using some background html file sync between devices. If you want to access it *via a website*, every time you load it you're downloading a minimum of 2MB, much larger depending on how much data you have in there and possibly even file embeds (unless you use the File upload plugin thing and have it dump the files into S3/WebDav)
This sucks big time. If you have spotty data service you won't be able to open your "notes" reliably.
This is a huge red flag for me. If I only cared about using Tiddlywiki from one device it would be a pretty amazing solution though
Study: When experienced open-source developers used current AI tools, work took 19% longer to complete. In spite of which, the developers *thought* they were working *faster.*

it's a HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Desktop Mini (say that five times fast) with an Intel 9600T processor.
everything looks good so far. however, no power-up test today.
astute readers will have noticed there isn't a power supply in the photos. in fact this system was an excellent deal because it shipped without a power supply or a storage device. I have both of those things on hand, but the power supply is a 100W USB-PD brick.
so, I'm waiting for a HP FlexIO USB-C + PD option board which is shipping from across the country. that board will go where the VGA port is now, and then I can power the machine via USB-PD, which I prefer for space & portability reasons.
one nice thing about this one compared to my EliteDesk 805 G8 Desktop Mini "personal" machine, is this one is vented thru the front and back, whereas the 805 G8 is vented thru the top. front/back venting makes stacking a bit easier.
“THE US IS imposing sanctions on a United Nations expert who published a report last month recommending sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel and penalties for companies enabling its human rights violations in Palestine.”
Also, big headlines 2 days ago about genocide-enabling USA hosting genocidal Israeli leaders to discuss possible "truce” in the genocide of an entire people and culture.
Small headlines yesterday to inform us that those talks went nowhere. Quelle surprise.

Hello all. I've recently installed Fedora 42 on my laptop, it's a microsoft surface laptop studio so it's running with the custom surface kernel. The feature matrix on their github page says that everything should be supported for my laptop and that's pretty much been my experience so far but I've been having issues when testing out games.
The laptop has a 3050TI and is more than capable of running most of the games that I usually play on windows, and I've almost gotten it working on Fedora. They'll launch and run just fine, everything even looks pretty decent graphically, but it just has really bad stuttery input lag, even in more lightweight games that I've tested such as balatro and stardew valley.
I'm not sure what would be causing this, as far as I'm aware I'm running the right gpu driver, I've double checked that they're using the dedicated gpu rather than the integrated one with nvidia-smi, but honestly that's about the extent of my knowledge. Does anyone have any thoughts / suggestions? It would be much appreciated.
This kind of problem is going to require some deep debugging of the surface kernel drivers. This isn't going to be a simple or quick fix. Somebody is going to need to do some extensive debugging and analysis to chase down an issue like this. A solution to this problem could take a few hours, or it could take a few months of meticulous trial and error to narrow down the problem space and gather enough data to enable somebody to zero in on the problem.
If you want to dive into tracking down the problem yourself, I suggest starting with the kernel's own docs on the driver architecture and debugging tools, etc.
Two things: - What input device(s) are you using? Are you using the built-in laptop keyboard, or a gamepad of sorts. (By Balatro, I'd assume it might even be happening with mouse.) - Are you running these games on a platform like Steam, or are you running another way? (I'm assuming the answer is yes to Steam, by Balatro and Stardew.)
For Steam, try messing around with Steam input settings and see what happens.
The testing that I've done was just with the built in keyboard and a mouse, everything through steam. I'll take a look at the input settings and see if that helps, thanks

US #Mafia news: When two terrorist and genocider states make more and more agreements.
The State of #Israel and the #US, today, signed an MOU on advancing cooperation in energy and artificial intelligence ( #Al). The signing was held at Blair House, in Washington, with the participation of Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu, US Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, together with the ambassadors of both countries - Mike Huckabee and Yechiel Leiter. The agreement, which was formulated under the leadership of Energy Secretary Eli Cohen, is designed to advance cooperation in applying Al to strengthening the energy grids in Israel and the US, and to encourage research, innovation and the development of joint policies. Under the agreement, regional projects, including IMEC and the Abraham Accords, will be advanced, and a working group on cooperation regarding standards and optimal practices, as well as safe digital infrastructure for embedding Al in the energy economies.
The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is a party to the agreement along with the Prime Minister's Office and the US Department of Energy, the US Department of the Interior and the White House National Energy Dominance Council. Prime Minister Netanyahu: "Mr. Secretary, Mr. Secretary, ambassadors, the future belongs to those who innovate. America and Israel are the prime innovation nations on the planet. Al is the thrust of innovation now and will create unbelievable things in the future. It's both challenging, because there could be bad things in it, but there could be unimaginable good things. I think we can lead this. This day will be remembered. Not every signing ceremony is as significant as this. This is very significant. I want to thank you and President Trump for the incredible cooperation and friendship that has been unmatched and will yield great things for America and Israel. It will make both of us greater, again." US Secretary of the Interior Burgum: "Before we begin, I do want to say about this historic agreement. There has been such incredible collaboration between the United States and Israel demonstrated over the last month. The planning, the execution, the world has never seen anything like it, truly eliminating one of the existential threats that was facing the entire world, not just Israel and the United States. So again, congratulations. This step takes us into the future around collaboration because we know that defense would not be working without Al, but all the incredible technological leadership, the great entrepreneurship, the incredible startup community that's strong and vibrant in Israel, all of this bodes well for the future. The first kind of agreement that Chris and I have signed with any country is this one and we think it's a great place to start." US Secretary of Energy Wright: "Honored to partner with you and the tremendous people of Israel, as you say, innovators, technology innovators, cutting-edge business folks and strong, proud country, and been a great American ally for a long time and I think our partnership has never been tighter, never been stronger than it is today."
History rarely announces itself. It creeps in quietly, cloaked in the language of “law and order,” “national security,” and “patriotism.” But every now and then, it screams.Last week, it screamed.
After more than a decade of enduring cruelty, refugees and people seeking asylum have delivered an honest and urgent call to action that politicians can't ignore.
Help us make sure their voices are not just heard, but drive action.
I have spent more time than I'm willing to admit thinking about this and doing web searches, and now I'm desperate to know a solid example of four.
I did come across the "widow skimmer dragonfly", which works if you're willing to stretch: you have to grant that widows and dragons are legitimately animals and take "skimmer" to be the type of bird. It's not entirely satisfying.
