Acquaintance of mine adopted a kitten but her senior cat (female) keeps attacking him. She was about to take him back to the Humane Society. I agreed to foster him for a few days to see if Momo (my senior male) accepts him. If so I will adopt the newcomer.
It’s been a while since I’ve interacted with a kitten and good lord he’s got a lot of energy. I adopted all my other cats as adults. Young adult cats have more than enough energy for me; this little guy is bonkers.

"If assassinations were a victory, the resistance would have ended with the assassination of Sheikh Izz al-Din al-Qassam 90 years ago. However, the resistance continued and grew stronger. If brutality, house demolitions, and revenge had stopped the resistance, the heroes of Gaza would not have humiliated the enemy in every street and alley after every war."

Took me 24 years but I finally 100% Grand Theft Auto 3.

I ended up playing the definitive edition I bought on sale using a gift card I got from someone a few years back I forgot to use. Honestly I think the original in a lot of ways was far less frustrating than the definitive edition port. The drive by controls and car driving physics in the original were a lot better and felt far less frustrating. Grove street games didn´t do a great job with the port sadly and even after 4 years of patches / updates itś still not on parity with the original 2001 PS2 version.

I do own the original on PC luckily and I would say RE3 ( reverse engineered GTA3 ) is probably the definitive way to play the game if you had to play it. It was a monumental game for the sandbox genre of its time but its a bit dated in 2025.

Let's take a trip to the past, let's say 2 years after 2008-9 destruction of #gaza by #IsraelTerroristState.
"Research by the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme indicates that the psychological effects of the attack are profound. Out of a sample of 374 children questioned, over 73 per cent thought they were going to die during the violence. Almost 68 per cent of the children - all aged between 6 and 16 -fear that a similar attack will occur in the future, and 41 per cent expressed a strong desire for revenge."
If you can recognize any connection with today's Gaza militants, you found the point. Let's talk about Hamas now...

00:00 Intro
00:40 Sponsor: Try AlmaLinux and TuxCare's support services
01:16 Your Linux system is probably not 100% free
04:15 Why you'd want more proprietary software
06:26 Getting more users is key
08:12 Why you'd want to keep Linux FOSS
10:47 The chicken and egg problem
12:37 More proprietary apps, or FOSS only?

Modern Linux desktops can use proprietary software. Nvidia drivers are the prime example. Depending on your hardware, you might also use more proprietary blobs that enable your wifi, or bluetooth to work.

If you're a Chrome user, you're using proprietary software. If you're a gamer, chances are you're also using proprietary platforms.

Stallman eats something off his foot:

Reasons you might want more commercial, proprietary applications: these probably all boil down to "I need these apps to use Linux as a daily driver".

The apps people generally clamor for are Microsoft Office, the Adobe Suite, CAD software like AUtoCAD, a lot of games, streaming software, OCR software, voice synthesizers, plenty of VFX related software, this type of stuff: generally things that you'd need to use Linux professionally in certain fields.

That's the main reason: it's a make or break thing for a lot of professionals for them personally to be able to move to Linux.

Getting more users is the only way we'll all get a better experience all around. Not only because having more users means potentially finally getting these AAA commercial apps like MS Office or the Adobe Suite, but also because the more users you have, the more chance you have of them becoming contributors.

Now, let's look at the reasons to keep Linux desktops as Free and open source as possible. First, we have amazing applications that are free of charge, and free software.

We could argue that if we want these apps to thrive, we need to only have these apps available, and not their proprietary counterparts: basically a "throw the kid in the pool so it can learn to swim" approach.

If we want the FOSS ecosystem to develop and grow and improve, we need to make sure that people who move to Linux use these applications, and not the ones they're already familiar with.

There's also the philosophical aspects. Having proprietary offerings on Linux might end up "tainting" this enclave and making it worse, by encouraging the commercial practices of these companies, and erasing the mentality that many Linux users like.

So, either you think proprietary applications are necessary to have more market share, more users, and for everyone to be able to use Linux as a desktop, or you think proprietary apps will taint Linux and damage our existing FOSS applications. You might think Linux needs more users, or that it doesn't.

In both cases, you might be right! Personally, I'm in the camp of "use what works". I have a preference for FOSS if it works for me, but if none of the alternatives offer something I'm comfortable with, I won't hesitate to use proprietary apps and software.

If you're not in the same camp, that's perfectly ok too! That's the beauty of the Linux desktop: whether it gets proprietary apps or not, it will still be a viable option for us who already use it.

I see a news story about an investigation opened by federal prosecutors or a new finding by the CDC, and I start to take the announcement at face value: "Huh. What did the target of the investigation do? What did the scientists discover?"
Then I remember that these aren't legitimate agencies any more; they've been taken over by Trump loyalists and redirected to purely political ends.

Here's a reminder that the Wikipedia editors justified the inclusion of their page on the Gaza genocide by saying that they personally are not qualified to judge either way and went with the overwhelming majority of scholarly assessments of the matter, and that it wasn't even close.

You can find plenty genocide scholars and international lawyers who won't say anything at all, because they neither want to confirm the obvious nor destroy their credibility by denying it, and you can find some who'll go with “It's obviously all the worst war crimes and crimes against humanity, but genocide is not quite provable.” But there are literally no serious and qualified experts out there making any kind of credible attempt at validating the “not even close to genocide, and obviously so" claim.

In the U.S. a federal judge has blocked the enforcement of Trump's order targeting individuals who work with the International Criminal Court (#ICC). The ruling, following a lawsuit by human rights advocates, calls the order an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. The order authorized economic and travel sanctions on people involved in ICC investigations of U.S. citizens or allies, such as #Israel. The ICC and numerous countries have condemned the order.

If we start with the Linux kernel, in 2020, for version 5.10, there were almost 2000 different contributors, only 252 of which shared their first contribution. 228 companies also contributed work, and the top 20 companies contributed 70% of the changes in the kernel itself. THe biggest contributors? Huawei, Intel, Red Hat, Google, but we also see Facebook, Oracle, and Samsung in there.

lwn.net/Articles/839772/

But this doesn't mean that all the code these companies want to push, is accepted. The code is signed off on by subsystem maintainers and reviewers. And we see that big companies also have a hand on code validation, with Red Hat, Facebook, Google and Huawei being among the biggest.

Linux as a project, doesn't really have a roadmap. It's not like people meet in a boardroom to decide what they'll focus on next. People just propose their work, and it's either accepted, or not. So, companies who contribute have their own roadmaps, that require them to add some code to the Linux kernel, and this code kinda becomes the roadmap of the kernel itself.

The Linux Foundation is a big actor in how Linux is shaped and where it goes. And if we look at the board of directors for the Linux Foundation, we find a lot of big companies again: Sony, Intel, Huawei, Tencent, Meta, IBM, Microsoft, Samsung, Oracle, and more.

So, we come full circle: however well managed and structured the linux kernel development is, at every step, the code is written by people working for big companies, and big companies employ the maintainers who approve the code, which in turn is approved by Torvalds, who works for the Linux foundation, which is controlled by the board of directors, made up of employees of big companies. But is that really a problem?

Well, Linux might be mainly developed by people working for big companies, but it's still open source. You can still fork it, you can still grab the code, modify it, and redistribute it. And you can also look at the code, and detect all that shady stuff.

Which means the minute anything remotely weird, privacy invasive, or limiting to users makes it to the kernel, you'll get an immediate fork, or at least a new kernel version being distributed which removes all that crap.

Also important to remember: these big companies don't contribute just for fun. They contribute what they want or need to make their own products, services, and businesses run.

And it also works as some kind of mutually assured destruction: if a company ever wanted to add some crappy code to the kernel, it would hurt its competitors who also use Linux. So these guys would oppose the patch, or refuse to let it through. And the company would probably end up being banned from contributing at all.

And also, Linus Torvalds is the ultimate gatekeeper on the kernel: what goes in or not, goes through him. And fortunately, Torvalds is aware that corporate involvement can be tricky to handle. In a interview he gave in 2021, when being asked about financial sustainability, he says he has always been wary of being too tainted by commercial interests. He said that he didn't want to work for a Linux company to avoid that and stay as a neutral party. He also knows that it's not easy to work with companies and that they don't know how to do open source in a lot of cases.

@prosario2000, fakenew y bulos por razones ideologicas y políticas no son un invento de actuales tiempos.

Me imagino de arqueologos intentando de reconstruir nuestra historia a mano de nuestros diferentes periodicos, correspondientes a su orientación política.

La Biblia no es otra cosa, una colección de mitos, leyendas y relatos escrito muchas veces por gente décadas y incluso siglos después del supuesto correspondiente acontecimiento, muchas veces copiados de fuentes mucho más antigüas, babilonicas y egipcias.

La Biblia tiene un valor cultural, pero desde luego tiene un valor historico literal no más real que una novela de Harry Potter, que con mucho puede reflejar vagamente la vida en internados ingleses, si se resta el contenido de fantasía.

Στο επίκεντρο της ανασκόπησης βρέθηκαν 15 νέα επενδυτικά σχέδια, συνολικού ύψους άνω των 2,4 δισ. ευρώ, τα οποία –σύμφωνα με τον πρωθυπουργό– θα δημιουργήσουν θέσεις εργασίας και θα ενισχύσουν την παραγωγή με υψηλή προστιθέμενη αξία.
Ειδική μνεία έγινε στον τομέα των ημιαγωγών, με τον κ. Μητσοτάκη να επισημαίνει τη συμμετοχή της Ελλάδας στο ευρωπαϊκό δίκτυο για τα μικροκυκλώματα και την ίδρυση του πρώτου Ελληνικού Κέντρου Ικανοτήτων Ημιαγωγών, με κρατική ενίσχυση 3,6 εκατ. €

Στόχος του Ηγέτη είναι η δημιουργία μιας εγχώριας αλυσίδας παραγωγής τεχνολογικής αξίας, με την επένδυση στην παραγωγή γαλλίου – υλικού κρίσιμης σημασίας για την κατασκευή μικροκυκλωμάτων.

164 νέα πυροσβεστικά οχήματα, με πρόβλεψη για πάνω από 1.400 συνολικά έως το τέλος του 2026 (πρόγραμμα ΑΙΓΙΣ)
