Sehr schön auch die Klarheit zur CO2-Bepreisung:

Da es ein rein "politischer" Preis ist, wird er nie so hochgesetzt werden, dass der Preis wirklich Wirkung zeigt.

Das können sich die jeweiligen Parteien gar nicht leisten. Zu groß wäre der Aufschrei, wenn sie es jemals wirklich täten.

Die CO2-Bepreisung ist eine reine Absichtserklärung, eine Alibi-Handlung, damit man sich und anderen vormachen kann, "dass man ja was tut"...

...Anders gesagt:

Die Klimahölle und ein kompletter Wirtschaftszusammenbruch sind NUR mit einem starken Staat zu vermeiden.

Da aber "ein starker Staat" der Endgegner/Antichrist/Teufel für viele derjenigen Menschen ist, die in unserer Gesellschaft tonangebend und bestimmend ist, hat genau DAS Instrument, das wir jetzt dringend brauchen, genau Null Chancen auf Realisierung.

Wir fahren das Ding mit vollem Tempo gegen die Wand. UND haben noch ein perfekt blütenweißes Gewissen dabei. 🤦🏽

...Und vielleicht noch ein Punkt, zur Abwechslung mal kritisch gegen Ulrike Herrmann:

Die Tatsache, dass das II.Weltkriegs-England in einer Kriegssituation seine Wirtschaft binnen weniger Wochen auf eine solche freiheitliche staatliche reglementierte Wirtschaft umstellen konnte, heißt NICHT, dass das Gleiche auch durch die Klimaproblematiken angestoßen werden könnte.

Ein Krieg liefert eine wirksame Motivation zu so etwas. Die Klimaproblematik und ihre Folgen liefern sie leider nicht..

...Wir sehen das paradimatisch am Ahrtal:

Es kann uns Menschen das Wasser bereits bis weit über den Hals stehen - und dennoch sehen wir nicht ein, dass drastische staatliche Maßnahmen nötig sind.

Im Kriegsfall ist das anders. - Das hat Gründe, die für hier dann doch tatsächlich zu weit führen.

Aber leider ist das ein zentraler Punkt, warum Herrmanns Vorschlag niemals in geordneter Form eingeführt werden wird. Erst dann, "wenn es vollkommen zu spät ist", aus reiner Not...

Der Vergleich mit der englischen Kriegswirtschaft ist durchaus geeignet, das tatsächliche Problem zu erklären.
Wenn die Menschen die Klimakatastrophe als Krieg gegen die Mehrheit begreifen würden, dann könnten sie innerhalb kürzester Zeit die erforderlichen Mittel aufbringen, um den Feind zu bezwingen. Bei der Klimakatastrophe sind allerdings die korrupten Führer selbst der Feind

Having to go to a food bank sticks with you
– it's time politicians knew about it

Amie, a town councillor and mother-of-two, had no choice but to use a food bank.

She’ll be joining more than 700 campaigners in Westminster on 18 June calling for urgent action against the rising tide of poverty in the UK

They are calling for an essentials guarantee,
which would help ensure universal credit provides enough to cover the essentials of life -- without having to go to a foodbank

Strange graphical issue after a power failure


System is Fedora KDE, graphics card is an Asrock Radeon 5900GRE, display is a Gigabyte M34WQ (1440p ultrawide 144Hz refresh rate) attached via DisplayPort.

Despite being on a UPS (which...we're also going to have to talk about) my system was apparently shut down by a thunderstorm. I booted it up, and the display was acting glitchy. I would get two mouse cursors, and below the mouse cursor the screen would go a solid color, as if it was glitching on a pixel and then displaying that from there down.

Switching to a lower refresh rate made the problem go away, I've switched back up and it seems to be alright. A second 1080p60 monitor attached via HDMI didn't show any problem.

Some googling didn't turn up exactly what I was experiencing. Can anyone help troubleshoot this? It seems okay for the moment but I'm hoping I don't have a wounded GPU.

in reply to Captain Aggravated

Probably surge damage, honestly. Was your monitor plugged into the UPS or another surge protector, or just into a wall? Do you have any other cables connecting to your machine that aren't on the UPS or a surge protector? Also, a power strip is not equal to a surge protector.

As far as the cause, if you're seeing artifacts on screen past a certain position on the screen, that's the screen or cable, not the GPU. Your display adapter sends fully rendered frames to the display and wouldn't have a specific part of the frame that is corrupted if damaged. Anecdotally speaking, if a GPU has damage, it just won't work.

Also, you may want to check the capacitors on your card and motherboard to make sure they're all still flat and not bulging. If bulging, you took took surge damage and need to redo your cabling to make sure everything is protected.

in reply to just_another_person

Everything is attached to the UPS, both the computer and the main monitor are on the battery side. Why the computer was shut off on this UPS, I don't know. I might be switching brands of UPS.

If I switch it down to 60 or 100 Hz, the problem goes away entirely, so I don't think it's a hardware damage issue at this point. Like, I did a software update, I wonder if it's booted up with a slightly newer version of mesa or wayland or something that isn't playing nice.

Switched the socket on the GPU the DP cable is plugged into, I think I see the same problem. It's only been a few seconds, I haven't seen the "lower portion of the screen from about the mouse down goes one color" thing yet but I have been seeing a double mouse cursor. This goes away completely when setting the frame rate down to 100 (says 99.98 in the KDE settings menu).

Not sure what I'm looking for in package manager logs or dmesg.

in reply to Captain Aggravated

When you increase your resolution, your monitor switches power modes. At a higher refresh rate, a dirty power signal can cause artifacts on the screen. Usually this means that you'd see bit crawl on the edges of the screen, but it could show display artifacts like you describe depending on the panel controller.

If your UPS took a hit during a thunderstorm, you could easily have a damaged rectifier in the UPS. That rectifier is responsible for smoothing the power signal coming out the ports on your UPS. A dirty signal can do the above as I mentioned.

You wouldn't notice a problem on your machine because it's own PSU smooths those signals out, but a monitor doesn't have that.

It's not bulletproof, but I've seen it live, so it happens. Proof:

forums.tomshardware.com/thread…

in reply to just_another_person

Okay, it's not the power supply. Found this on the Fedora forums: discussion.fedoraproject.org/t…

Apparently the power failure just happened to coincide with a kernel update that causes a bug with AMD firmware; people are reporting the issue with higher end Radeon 7000 series cards using high refresh monitors attached via DP with kernel 6.15.

My uname -r output: 6.15.3-200.fc42.x86_64

So I can either learn how to revert to kernel 6.14 on Fedora, I've never messed with it before, or live with 100Hz like a bronze age slum rat until they push a fix.

The further mystery is why a momentary power loss took down a PC plugged into a UPS. It has one job, that it apparently didn't do.

Ceding care of the poor to leftism rather than Christianity has been an absolute disaster for the poor. Even many nominally Christian charities see themselves as social workers with Jesus tacked on. But it's very clear that leftoids fully believe that happiness is just brain chemicals, so unhappy people just get given antidepressants or HRT or crack pipes or assisted suicide to make the badfeel go away, instead of teaching the poor Christian perseverance in suffering and virtue. There is no atheist Mother Teresa because there can be no atheist Mother Teresa.

Unite and Strongly Condemn US Bombing in Iran — NDFP

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) joins all peace-loving and democratic forces around the world in condemning in the strongest terms the US imperialist government of Donald Trump for the bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities in the early morning hours of June 22.

The US bombing of Iran, that follows more than one week of missile strikes by the Zionist state of Israel, is a brazen violation of Iran’s national sovereignty and a gross crime against international law.

The pretext about Iran’s program for developing nuclear weapons, that Trump has used to justify the US bombing, is the same justification that Benjamin Netanyahu for firing missiles against Iran. This has been repeatedly dismissed by experts and even by the US intelligence agency as groundless.

The “preemptive strikes” carried out by the US and Israel are based on claims similar to the big lie of “weapons of mass destruction” which the US imperialists used to justify its invasion and overthrow of Saddam Hussein in more than twenty years ago.

In weaving such a narrative, the US imperialists insists that it alone has the right to determine who can develop and possess nuclear weapons. It also insists on having the unfounded right to impose its will on any country, and to punish anyone that does not bow to its authority based on its nuclear-backed military power.

The US bombing derails the efforts of the Arab community and leading European countries, along with Iran, to push for negotiations to forge a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Trump himself abrogated the non-proliferation treaty in 2018 and has shown no interest in restoring it. Instead, he threatens to assassinate the Iranian Supreme Leader, calls for the overthrow of the Irani government, and demands its “unconditional surrender.”

By dropping bombs on Iran, Trump wants to extend his authoritarian style of government beyond the borders of the US. The desire of US President Trump to reign as global king must be condemned and rejected by freedom-loving people of the world.

The US bombing of Iran constitutes an outright war of aggression. The clear objective of this war is for Iran to surrender its sovereignty and the country’s wealth and resources. In seeking to force Iran to its knees, the US aims to control the vast oil resources of the country and the region.

Iran has all the right to defend its sovereignty and interests against the US-Israel war of aggression. We support the Iranian people as they rise up in their millions against the much detested US imperialist ogre.

By declaring war against Iran, Trump has roused calls for him to be impeached and removed from office, for having done so without congressional approval. In the coming days and weeks, it will certainly galvanize calls for him to be ousted from power. The American people are fed up by his authoritarianism and are ready to take action to put an end to his tyranny. They have the support of all freedom-loving forces around the world.

People all over the world, including the Filipino people, must stand with the people of Iran, as well as with the Palestinian people, in fighting the US-Israel war machine, as it rampages through the Middle East to force nations to bow to its power, and surrender their freedom. In Gaza, the US-supported Israeli bombing has killed close to 60,000 people, maimed hundreds of thousands more, and caused a massive humanitarian crisis characterized by disease and hunger. Israeli occupying forces have been daily killing hundreds of Palestinians in desperate food lines.

Trump must be made to pay for his transgressions. Otherwise, he will only be emboldened to commit even worse crimes as the US imperialists desperately avoid a recession amid a deepening global capitalist crisis, and seek to redivide the world to get the biggest share of the plunder for itself.

In ordering the bombing of Iran, Trump has pushed the world closer to the precipice of a prolonged and more intense armed conflict, that runs the risk of pulling more and more countries into the vortex of a war covering the Middle East and beyond, and causing even greater sufferings on millions upon millions of people, including hundreds of thousands of Filipino migrant workers toiling overseas.

The Filipino proletariat and people must stand firmly against US imperialists wars. They must denounce the puppet Marcos regime for having allowed the US to build more military bases, deploy thousands of US troops, stockpile its weapons and stage one war exercise after another on Philippine soil, air and seas. They must resolutely fight against US imperialist wars, and stand firm and united in demanding an end to US military intervention and military presence in the country.

The Filipino people must organize mass protests to manifest their indignation against the US imperialists and its Israeli Zionist lackeys for the war of aggression against Iran, and to manifest solidarity to the Iranian and Palestinian people as they fight to defend their rights and their land. They must fight the Marcos regime whose subservience has allowed the US to drag the Philippines to its war strategy.

The Party calls on the Filipino people to join and support the New People’s Army and advance the people’s war, as the principal form of struggle to fight the puppet Marcos regime and the US-supported reactionary armed forces. By intensifying and expanding the people’s war against the US puppet troops of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Filipino people effectively contributes to the struggle of the people of the world to fight and prevent imperialist war.

New on our website:

Meet Patriot Front Participant and Neo-Nazi David Isaac Hamilton (AKA “Hunt’wa N’wah”)

Last year, our group received anonymous email tips about a neo-Nazi who we had only known by his online alias, “Hunt’wa N’wah.” (Initially, he used “Huntwa N’wah” without the first apostrophe.) One email we received provided an actual name for “Hunt’wa,” which we worked to verify. “Hunt’wa” is David Isaac Hamilton (DOB 8/24/2005). Hamilton is affiliated with the neo-Nazi cult of “Aryanity” as well as Patriot Front, a racist and fascist organization that operates nationally. Hamilton now goes by “Hunter” online. Although he is from Georgia, he may how be spending time in Tennessee.

Why US centrists are bad.

There are policies that the left and the right both agree on. But those aren't the centrist policies.

There are policies that the left loves and the right hates, because the left needs them to survive, and policies that the right loves and the left hates, because cruelty.

Centrists are politicians that siphon away the political power of those that vote to survive, and use that power to enact the cruel policies desired by the right.

As in: Get elected by Black people... then make police brutality and mass incarceration *worse*.🤡

Or block ending the filibuster.🤡

Maybe a politician really does think that the problem with the US is that we are *not cruel enough* to Black people. That there should be *more* Black people in jail, and *more* cops, and *fewer* libraries, and *worse* schools.🤷🏿‍♂️

So let them get elected by the people on the right that believe that.

This is from Israel's oldest paper. This is Israeli media reporting these war crimes and genocide in broad daylight.

You won't see this in American corporate media. They've continued to ignore this, enable this, even justify this and cheer it on.

Do not look away. This is genocide. This cannot stand.

It's worth noting that both the Obama and Biden administration also pushed against nationwide injunctions, such as the ones issued by a judge in Texas that the GOP always ran to for attempts to block Obamacare, for gun issues, etc. Yes, the Supreme Court waited until now to push back on nationwide injunctions, but in the future the GOP is likely to have buyer's remorse on this when the tables are turned.

I agree that one has to always make the assumption, that in time (where time may be measured in decades or centuries) things will change. We did an interesting exercise in high school history where the teacher asked us to imagine a United States where the Confederacy had won. Like the current administration it did things to prevent reversion to constitutional principles. I'd love to get back to the rule of law in my lifetime but will settle for in my kid's lifetime.
