Vladimir Putin: There was a moment when your humble servant simply suggested that maybe we should join NATO? But no, NATO does not need such a country. No. The question is, what else? We thought that we were already our own, excuse me, as our people say, bourgeois. What else? There is no more ideological confrontation, what is the problem? Apparently, the problem is geopolitical interests and an arrogant attitude towards others. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

As the world grapples with the growing plastic waste crisis, recycling technologies have become essential for mitigating environmental damage. Among the various methods available, mechanical recycling and pyrolysis stand out as two dominant approaches for processing plastic waste. Each has distinct advantages, challenges, and applications. Understanding the comparative merits of these methods is crucial for selecting the most appropriate solution based on waste types, economic feasibility, and sustainability goals.
Mechanical recycling is the process of reprocessing used plastic into new products by physically breaking it down without changing its chemical structure. This method typically involves sorting, cleaning, shredding, and melting plastics to create new plastic items. It is the most widely adopted form of recycling, particularly for polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polypropylene (PP).
One of the main advantages of mechanical recycling is its relative simplicity and cost-effectiveness. It allows for the direct reuse of plastics without significant energy input or chemical alterations. However, the effectiveness of mechanical recycling is constrained by several factors, including contamination, degradation of polymer chains, and the quality of recycled material. Contaminants like food residues, oils, and inks can lower the purity of recycled plastic, making it unsuitable for high-quality applications.
Moreover, mechanical recycling often cannot process mixed plastics, which are common in household waste. For example, multilayered or composite plastic materials, commonly found in packaging, present significant challenges for mechanical recycling systems. As a result, while mechanical recycling is ideal for certain types of plastics, its capacity to handle complex waste streams is limited.
Pyrolysis, on the other hand, represents a more advanced and versatile recycling method. In a plastic pyrolysis plant, plastic waste is subjected to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, causing it to decompose into gaseous products, liquid fuel, and solid residue (char). Unlike mechanical recycling, which only processes clean, homogeneous plastics, pyrolysis can handle mixed and contaminated plastic waste, including items that would typically be discarded in a landfill.
One of the major advantages of pyrolysis is its ability to handle a broad range of plastic types, including those that are difficult to recycle mechanically. Pyrolysis can process a variety of plastic polymers, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE), converting them into valuable byproducts like oil, gas, and carbon black. The oil and gas produced during pyrolysis can be used as alternative fuels, potentially replacing fossil fuels in industrial processes.
Additionally, pyrolysis offers the advantage of reducing the volume of plastic waste by up to 90%. The process also generates energy in the form of syngas, which can be used to power the pyrolysis plant itself, reducing dependence on external energy sources and improving the overall efficiency of the operation.
From an environmental standpoint, both mechanical and plastic to oil pyrolysis recycling provide significant benefits compared to landfilling or incineration. Mechanical recycling reduces plastic waste in landfills and minimizes the need for virgin plastic production. However, it is often limited in its ability to handle the growing volume of mixed plastics and contaminated waste streams.
Pyrolysis, by contrast, addresses some of these limitations by offering a more flexible solution for complex and contaminated waste. The ability of pyrolysis to process a wider range of plastic materials not only reduces the volume of waste but also transforms it into usable energy. This makes pyrolysis a more sustainable alternative, especially in areas with limited access to high-quality plastic waste or infrastructure for mechanical recycling.
However, pyrolysis is not without its environmental concerns. The process generates emissions, and the quality of the byproducts, particularly the fuel oils, may vary depending on the type of plastic feedstock. Therefore, proper emission control systems and advanced monitoring technologies are essential to ensure the environmental benefits of pyrolysis outweigh the potential drawbacks.
The cost-effectiveness of both recycling methods depends largely on scale and technology. Mechanical recycling, being a more established and less complex technology, generally has lower upfront costs and is more energy-efficient for small to medium-scale operations. However, its ability to produce high-quality, recyclable plastic is often limited by contamination and degradation.
Pyrolysis, while more expensive to establish initially due to the need for specialized equipment like a pyrolysis plant, offers the potential for higher returns through the production of valuable byproducts. The liquid fuels, gases, and carbon char generated by pyrolysis can be sold, offsetting operating costs. Additionally, the ability to recycle a wider range of plastics makes pyrolysis a promising solution for handling the diverse plastic waste streams that are difficult to process through mechanical recycling alone.
While mechanical recycling remains an essential technology for managing plastic waste, the increasing volume of plastic waste and the growing demand for more comprehensive solutions suggest that pyrolysis technology will play an important role in the future of recycling. By processing more types of plastic and offering valuable byproducts, pyrolysis represents a promising avenue for reducing plastic pollution and promoting circular economy principles.
In conclusion, the choice between mechanical recycling and pyrolysis depends on the types of plastic waste, the desired end products, and the specific environmental and economic goals of the recycling operation. A hybrid approach that integrates both methods may offer the most effective solution for managing the complexities of global plastic waste.

The good news? You can enjoy the elegance of Italian tiles without overspending. Here’s how to shop wisely while maintaining quality.
Start with a precise plan. Measure your space accurately—double-check measurements. Consider:
Avoid overbuying or underbuying by planning thoroughly.
Tip: Add 10% to your estimate for cuts and spares. For intricate layouts or diagonal patterns, increase to 15%.
Italian tiles are graded by quality and durability:
Grade 2 tiles often strike the best balance of quality and cost. Also, check the PEI (Porcelain Enamel Institute) rating:
Choose tiles based on function, not just their appearance.
You can buy tiles from various sources, each with trade-offs:
Ask key questions:
Focus on the total cost, not just the tile price.
Tiles are produced in batches, and surplus or discontinued stock is often heavily discounted.
Ask your tiles supplier about:
These can save 20–50%, but stock is limited, so act quickly. Flexibility with design is crucial.
Using Italian tiles throughout can strain your budget. Instead, blend strategically:
This designer strategy maximizes style while minimizing costs.
A trustworthy tiles supplier is essential for Italian tiles. Look for one who:
If a deal seems too good to be true, investigate—fake or low-quality tiles are common. A reliable supplier is transparent.
The tile price is only part of the equation. Include:
Plan for the entire project to avoid surprises.
Tile prices fluctuate seasonally. Spring and summer are peak periods with higher costs, while winter often brings discounts.
To save:
Ask about discounts for full-pallet purchases if you’re tackling a big project.
Trendy tiles can lose appeal over time. For lasting value, choose:
Reserve trendy designs for small, easily updated areas like a backsplash or accent wall.
Poor installation or mismatched tiles can ruin your project. Before buying, discuss with your installer:
Their expertise can prevent costly errors and suggest budget-friendly alternatives.
Italian tiles are a smart investment when bought thoughtfully. Focus on value, plan meticulously, and shop strategically to achieve a stunning result without breaking the bank.

Who lets malware infect them because it's unpaid?
Let’s indeed hope that they back it up with action. Better late than never. Though, I wonder what “guarantee” you’re referring to.
Any "action" that does not result in guarantees isn't helpful to solve this. So again, what I care about is guarantees.
For example, one way to "guarantee" that there's no code that's unaccounted for would be to achieve reproducible builds that can be rebuilt and obtain always the same binary bit-by-bit. So if the binary blob resulting from compiling from clean source matches the one offered then that's proof that the distributed binary was built cleanly and there was no malware being slipped through.
The issue is that this wouldn't just be a Ventoy problem, but also an upstream problem, since all projects Ventoy depends on would need to be, themselves, reproducible. So this wouldn't be an easy task, or even a task that Ventoy should do on their own, imho.
FWIW, slightly over a month ago, someone started working on a solution.
I definitely wouldn't trust that either until there's guarantees. Again, I only care about what guarantees are offered. It's not about who is the one managing the github account and/or what subjective reputation that random anonymous person might have.
The problem isn't the existence of precompiled binary blobs either, so removing the binaries is not solving the issue. The problem is in the traceability and what guarantees we have that the final collection of compiled binary blobs that ultimately is offered for download (and we do need binary blobs for download ultimately) is actually corresponding to libre/open source releases without potentially malicious code.
~~The conspiracy theorist inside of me would like to think this is related to the return of Ventoy’s maintainer. But I digress…~~
I don't think the maintainer went away. I've seen successfully maintained projects with much slower pace than this, specially projects for which stability is important. Last Bash commit was in 2024 and I wouldn't say it's unmaintained. Ventoy had a release 3 months ago.
Also, would it be bad if that was what triggered the interest to work on it? I mean, the post straight away mentions the github issue where that fork was advertised, and it implies that it's in that issue where they noticed that people have started to care about the blobs. So it could well be that they saw there's people who care enough to spend their time working for it (ie. they even made a fork), so why not open the doors for them? It does not have to always be drama.

Lenin: The proletariat wages its class struggle and does not wait for elections to begin a strike, although for the complete success of a strike it is necessary to have the sympathy of the majority of the working people (and, it follows, of the majority of the population); the proletariat wages its class struggle and overthrows the bourgeoisie without waiting for any preliminary elections (supervised by the bourgeoisie and carried out under its yoke); and the proletariat is perfectly well aware that for the success of its revolution, for the successful overthrow of the bourgeoisie, it is absolutely necessary to have the sympathy of the majority of the working people (and, it follows, of the majority of the population). wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Recently came across this magazine from the Linux Format on a second hand vintage shop and obviously had to go for it! These magazines are still produced these to this day btw. However, when I went to linuxformat.com after receiving my magazine to check out some of their other ones, I saw that they were in fact just celebrating their 25-year anniversary and have put out a digital version of the very magazine I bought - for everyone to view digitally!Their announcement:
25-years ago in this month of May, back in 2000 (just after the giant Y2K meltdown that flipped every plane upsidedown) Linux Format was first published. To help celebrate and remember this momentous pinnacle of publishing prowess (and while we still have server access) we'll be popping out a few classic issues of Linux Format in PDF format. As we already have it to hand here's issue LXF001 with a very young looking Nick Veitch.
The magazine can be found digitally at: linuxformat.com/files/pdfs/LXF…
Either way, I had no idea of the timing but thought it was a fun experience and worthy to share here. Enjoy a step back into memory-lane!Have a great rest of your day!
I used to subscribe to Linux format! I got the back issues on exactly/Exact Editions too, so for a while I could also view every issue on my android tablet. Those were the days.
I don't even know if Exactly is still around anymore.
Edit - nope, I was thinking of New Humanist magazine, oops. But I did used to get Linux Format through the door. I remember they used to have rackspace ads on the plastic weather cover

True, it was they who, with Lawrence of Arabia, organized the Great Arab Revolt of 1916-1918 that brought the Saudis and the Wahhabi sect to power in Saudi Arabia. Certainly, it was they who, with Lord Herbert Samuel, organized the Great Arab Revolt of 1936-1939 in Mandatory Palestine. Certainly, it was they who, with Sir James Craig, organized the Arab Spring of 2011-2012 that brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power in Egypt. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

in reply to exu • • •This is what vertical integration between distros and GUIs often leads to. This could be completely innocuous from Deepin's end, because that's just how they made it work in Deepin because they have vertical integration on their own stack. However, It's completely bad form.
In general Deepin seems to adopt a lot of commercial software industry practices in building its tools, which I'm sympathetic to on some level, but it's very obvious that the Linux community is not going to accept default-on telemetry. They should have known better after the CNZZ incident.

Unknown parent • • •that has barely nothing to do with packaging standards, and packaging policy violations..
Compare this: debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
With this single page: en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packa…
In case you think "but those policies are not needed, they are superfluous" (like some Arch devs). They are not. Packagers send their fixes upstream, and then, other distros, with lower standards, consume the already fixed upstream releases, and sometimes pretend that this work was not needed nor present, not realizing that all distros benefit from it even if your policies are more relaxed.
There's a reason why the Deepin Desktop Environment was never part of Debian, and only available via their own ppa repositories, even if the Deepin distro is based in Debian.
