BBC m I really outraged by a call to kill genocidal soldiers, starving kids or luring people into food distribution so as to use them as human targets than by the deaths of more than 300.000 Palestinian civilians (lattest US surveys).

How beautifully obnoxious.

Imagine Churchill and 1945 BBC outraged by a song on the tune of "Bridge of River Kway" calling to kill all nazi.

No better, Brad Pitt prosecuted for his character in "Obnoxious bastards".

They all make me sick and very, very angry !

Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!

Israeli Military Admits To Killing Palestinian Civilians Near Aid Sites in Gaza - News From Antiwar.com

The Israeli military admitted on Monday that its forces have killed Palestinians in Gaza near aid sites run by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), but claimed the death toll from Gaza's Health Ministry was exaggerated.

At this point, the way people talk about Hamas, it's like they aren't even talking about the real thing. They're talking about their internalized propaganda movie of Hamas.

This is true of both people who see them as a Bush era terror machine and people who see them as heroic freedom fighters who can do no wrong.

Hamas can only be understood from a rational perspective when considering the totality of the Israeli rule over the Gaza strip, the social movements that predated Hamas, the economic context Hamas took power in, the historical ties between Israel and Hamas, and their role in the second intifada.

The truth is that Hamas is a partisan militant organization that is a genuine multi-branched mass movement on the part of an oppressed and colonized population. Its military wing is also guilty of both wartime atrocities and collaboration with Israel at various points in its history. Both can be true at the same time.

They're very obviously a desperate reaction to Israeli oppression, though, were that oppression to suddenly cease, Hamas would not. I see them as very similar to the IRA of the 80s and 90s and similar strategies could apply such as providing a path to legitimacy through wider recognition. In the IRA's case, this primarily took the form of the Sinn Féin political party that, last I checked, remains strong.

Troubling.

This picture bothers me. Not because it features Vance Boelter the suspect in the shootings of two Minnesota legislators, but take a look at the police officers arresting him. Full blown tactical combat gear, right down to the night-vision and the unit patches velcroed to their shoulders.

There will come a time when it will be impossible to distinguish between soldiers and the police; not a good direction.

I also note the officers faces have been blacked out for this photo.

“The ongoing offensive against Iran is a joint US-Israeli effort. Israel’s task has been to 'soften' the military targets and initiate regime change operations by 'taking down' Iran’s critical infrastructure, nuclear facilities, military and political elites, and scientific leaders. The US has fostered these goals by deceptive diplomacy, intelligence, arms transfers, and financing.
[...]
To neocon hawks, Iran is the ultimate prize, but a fragmented and balkanized Iran.”

Trump’s bunker-busters are just a small part of Israel-US proxy war for regime change in Iran

The offensive against Iran is not about nuclear weapons. It is about Iran’s abundant oil and gas reserves. It is a joint effort to overthrow Iranian leaders to restore pre-1979 rule.

They couldn’t be blamed.

When Fru-Fru whelped a litter sired by Darling that included a blue, white, & gold puppy, the breeders were floored. The parents were champion blue and tan Yorkshire Terriers that Werner & Gertrude Biewer had bred before. No previous litters had ever produced a tricolor puppy, and this one came out of nowhere. The Biewers had no way of knowing at the time that the puppy they would name “Snowflake” was the product of two parents who carried the recessive piebald gene.

Members of the Biewer Club reached out to see if Mars Veterinary would investigate whether the Biewer Terrier was genetically distinct from the Yorkshire Terrier and put the matter to rest. Owners provided blood samples, and by October 2009, Mars Veterinary had identified genetic markers for the purebred Biewer Terrier after testing over 30 lineages and more than 100 dogs. The pivotal study confirmed the Biewer as a genetically distinct breed—a first in canine history.
in reply to 1031

Genetic findings were fascinating. While most of the Biewer’s haplotypes (a set of DNA variants) are shared with Yorkshire Terriers, chromosome 20 stood out. A unique haplotype on this chromosome, found in over a third of Biewers, was absent in standard Yorkies. The Biewer’s signature tricolor coat was largely explained by the MITF gene which controls pigment distribution. Unlike Yorkies, many Biewers carry specific MITF variants associated with white spotting
in reply to 1031

Most importantly, the studies found that Biewers have healthy genetic diversity.

I love concluding with dramatic flair. The club resubmitted its application for recognition, now armed with the Mars Veterinary DNA study and additional genetic results.After reviewing the DNA evidence and the club’s revised breed history, the AKC accepted the Biewer Terrier.

The Biewer Terrier became the first to be recognized as a purebred as a result of a genetic study.

Curious about performance of nouveau on old laptops with discrete graphics

Got myself a Dell Latitude ~~E4310~~ E6410 and Thinkpad T510 for free, both with discrete Nvidia graphics soldered to the mainboard. I've installed Linux on them and just went with the nouveau driver since the proprietary Nvidia driver for such old cards is no longer in the Debian 12 repo. Not going to do anything cutting edge on them, but it does leave me wondering:

  • I read that I could, with some effort, install the proprietary driver manually. Am I missing out on anything at all without them, or is nouveau mature enough and the graphics old enough that I wouldn't notice?
  • Is nouveau with old discrete graphics better or worse than having just Intel's integrated graphics?
  • Does power consumption vary significantly between nouveau and proprietary drivers?

EDIT

Answering myself after going down a rabbit hole with the T510:

  1. The dGPU is the NVS 3100M, which does have some level of hardware acceleration support under nouveau, so at least it isn't draining power for zero benefit. However, the dGPU is unable to go past its lowest power state without manually manipulating /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate (I did not try to) and I suspect that this is what kneecaps 3D performance. There should be a marked difference, but I won't be doing any serious work on these machines, so I'm leaving everything as-is.
  2. This situation is worse than having just integrated graphics due to the inherent power consumption of the GPU core while unable to benefit from higher power states and other optimizations.
  3. Power consumption is probably less, but for much worse performance. At least it is a much better fallback than leaving at maximum.
  • A later variant has the BIOS option to disable the dGPU, mine is an early variant with no options

One thing to keep in mind about older versions of the nvidia proprietary drivers is that they will only work with specific kernel versions (and specific X versions—not sure about Wayland). Once the driver series your card needs stops being updated, you can't update your kernel without patching the driver. Assuming you have the skills to patch the driver, or someone who does makes their patches public.

I went through this song-and-dance with a very old laptop that had a card of the NV40 generation as its only GPU (no integrated graphics). Eventually I did install nouveau on it, and used it for several years without any issues.

NVS 3100M has codename NV50 (Tesla), so you can see the feature matrix.

nouveau.freedesktop.org/PowerM…
So you can see almost other things has been done but the power management especially Automatic Reclocking still unfinished. So the feature set and stability should be fine and the performance will be bad.
