Weird line tearing on KDE
Hi there, I've got these really odd issue where certain windows will cause random lines like the one in the screenshot appear on my screen. They will often flicker a bit and will dissapear if I hover my mouse over them. The lines will display what is beneath the window itself. These occour quite frequently and are frankly getting quite annoying to deal with.
Is this a known issue with KDE right now? It does not happen while using Gnome on the same machine + screen. If it matters I am running CachyOS.
If there is anythign I can do to fix this then I'd greatly appriciate some pointers!
Need more info:
- GPU
- Compositor being used
- Resolution and refresh settings
- What cable is your monitor using
- Does your monitor status info match your desktop settings (check monitor info menu for refresh rate and resolution)
- Does it happen in all resolutions, or just specific ones?

Last night at ICE in Portland was another munition heavy night and lots of violence from federal agents. Teargas filled the neighborhood with canister after canister being shot. Green and white smoke continuously filled the air. Pepper balls shot at protesters close range. Masks ripped off so the feds could mace people. Someone else was hospitalized by the brutality of the federal agents yet again.
I know these nights are scary. I know how bad these munitions and chemicals hurt and burn in the moment and that the pain and side effects can be even worse later. It’s all around bad. The thing is though it’s already very bad and scary without making things up or falsely attributing certain munitions as something that they are not.
The green smoke (same with the red when they choose to use it) that they use at ICE here, which they also used plenty in 2020 and 2021, is just green smoke. When I say “just” I don’t mean to imply that it is good for our bodies in any way, or that it isn’t toxic, because it is. These military style smoke grenades contain heavy metals and lead salts known to cause cancer and birth defects. But people keep calling it various types of gasses that it is *not*. HC gas being a big one people have been saying is what it is and that is not true.
We don’t have to pretend this smoke is something that it’s not to draw attention to how bad this chemical warfare is. Their violence and heavy handed use of chemical weapons speaks for itself. It’s already bad enough. Every single thing they do is already bad enough.
I know the green smoke looks intense because of how vibrant the color is. But there is a huge difference, and if HC gets used again, I promise you will know. This rumor isn’t just online, it often gets spread by people on the ground before anyone else. And I don’t think there is any ill intent with people doing this, but words have meaning. Facts matter.
A lot of this misinformation started in 2020. The first time they used HC gas then, feds deployed a canister and immediately lit a green smoke grenade and set it off in front of the HC. They used the green smoke to obscure the HC gas, and when it finished going off, the feds retrieved the HC gas canister and took it while leaving the green smoke one out. They were intentionally trying to make people think that the green smoke was what was being used. they didn't want anyone to know they were using HC and so it began being attributed to the green smoke.
Footage showing the canister burning, and comparison to canisters from other nights that took place after this night, is how it was later confirmed on that night they used HC gas. HC smoke burns a dark grey color, sometimes yellowish depending on how close to the canister the smoke you’re observing is. The canisters for HC remain on fire, often with flames shooting out of the top, and the canister itself is so hot you’ll see it glowing brightly the entire time it is lit.
HC is not like other common teargas used (OC and CS) which are bad enough on their own. When I said you would know… each time I’ve been otg when HC was used, well I’m not sure I even have the words to describe how bad it was. Thick clouds of smoke all around, usually from a combination of gas and smoke. People to my left and right either vomiting or completely losing consciousness. People all around ripping their full face gas masks off for reprise from the suffocation after the chemicals penetrated their masks and destroyed their filters. People’s limp bodies being carried out by street medics all around me. There was no eye flushing, at least not in the immediate vicinity where there was still gas. Medics and people who were well enough to help others would just be trying to get as many people away and out of there as fast as possible.
These photos of the green smoke canisters are all munitions used at ICE here over the past month.

ANOTHER TRANSGENDER PEDOPHILE
BRAZIL: Trans Activist Day Care Worker Arrested For Sexual Abuse Of Six Young Children
reduxx.info/brazil-trans-activ…
"An assistant early childhood educator in Florianópolis, Brazil, has been taken into custody after multiple children alleged that he sexually abused them. Allec Sander de Oliveira Ribeiro, 34, worked at the Nossa Senhora de Lourdes Center for Municipal Childhood Education and was known for his vocal support of progressive causes.
On July 1, the Civil Police of Santa Catarina arrested Ribeiro following a month-long investigation into reports of sexual abuse at a local daycare. The probe began in June, after several parents reported that their children had disclosed abuse. According to the parents, the children had exhibited troubling behavioral changes in the lead-up to their disclosures. Authorities notified the Municipal Secretariat of Education, which suspended Ribeiro from his position on June 5.
Police subsequently raided Ribeiro’s home and searched his electronic devices, uncovering more than 6,000 files containing child sexual abuse material. Investigators say many of the files appear to have been produced by Ribeiro himself. Some of the victims were identified as Ribeiro’s students, and there was material that had been recorded on the daycare premises. Officers also discovered three additional hard drives concealed in his home; the total number of illicit files is now estimated to exceed 10,000.
According to Jornal Razão, several of Ribeiro’s students have been formally named as victims, the oldest being just six years old. All known victims are male. The abuse is believed to have occurred during the head teacher’s lunch break, when Ribeiro had unsupervised access to the classroom and children.
Allec Sander de Oliveira Ribeiro
Since the announcement of Ribeiro’s arrest, additional parents have come forward with suspicions that their children may also have been victims.
One mother, who spoke with Clic Espumoso, said her son, who is autistic, attended Nossa Senhora de Lourdes from the age of one and remained there for four years. After being placed in Ribeiro’s class, however, the child’s behavior changed dramatically. He began routinely exposing himself, imitating inappropriate gestures, and avoiding physical contact with adults – especially men.
“He didn’t want to enter that classroom anymore. He said he didn’t want to go to daycare. It started happening more and more often,” the mother told Clic Espumoso. She raised her concerns with the head teacher overseeing Ribeiro’s class, who reportedly shared similar suspicions and took steps to reduce the time Ribeiro spent alone with the children.
“I’m not sure if he photographed my son. But I think he did. And if he did that… let him pay. Because my son didn’t deserve this. No child does,” she added, noting that police are currently investigating whether her son appears in any of the abusive material found on Ribeiro’s devices.
Investigators have also uncovered messages on Ribeiro’s devices indicating that he anticipated eventual complaints from children and sought to preemptively dismiss them as a “mania.”
Jornal Razão reports that Ribeiro was known as a supporter of progressive causes, and displayed both the LGBT and trans pride flags on his social media accounts, where he also frequently posted popular cartoon characters and references to youth media. Journalist Lorran Barentin described this as a “possible strategy to mask criminal conduct.”
Artwork shared by Ribiero’s social media profiles.
Ribiero’s progressive public persona helped him cultivate trust with parents, one of whom noted: “The hardest part is that he was close to everyone. He used the right words, said the right things, and no one suspected him. But now the mask has fallen off.”
Ribeiro is currently in pre-trial detention, and is facing multiple charges related to the production of child pornography and the abuse of the vulnerable. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison."

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd hold to
In my life, we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

GrapheneOS Foundation Commentary On ICEBlock's False Claims About Push Notifications
ICEBlock is making incredibly false privacy claims for marketing. They falsely claim it provides complete anonymity when it doesn't. They're ignoring both data kept by Apple and data available to the server but not stored. They're also spreading misinformation about Android:Their claims about push notifications on Android compared to iOS are completely false. Both Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) function in a similar way with similar privacy. However, Android does not force using FCM and apps can use other push systems.
iOS forces uses Apple services including getting apps through Apple where they have a record of which apps each person and account has installed and using their push notification service. Both FCM and APNs have tokens. Android doesn't allow apps to access device IDs. Push tokens aren't device IDs.
Apple and Google can identify devices/users based on push tokens obtained by law enforcement from services. Unlike Google, Apple only recently began requiring warrants:

"Your #Phone Is About To Be #Hijacked: #How to #Survive the #Mandatory #Gemini #AI #Update (July 7)
Something big is coming to your phone on July 7, whether you asked for it or not.
#Go #ogle will begin rolling out its new Gemini AI #system, what they call an “upgrade,” but what looks a lot more like a #hostile #takeover of our phones, our #personal #data, #privacy, and #digital #autonomy. If you own an #Android phone, you will be affected. And no, you won’t be asked for permission.
This isn’t just another app. This is a system-level AI that will be deeply integrated into your phone’s OS. It will replace Google Assistant. It will access your #photos, #videos, #documents, and #clipboard #history. It reads your #notifications. It #logs your #searches, It parses your #text and #email conversations....and it understands what they mean.
Anyone who doesn’t know that Google is the world’s largest data vacuum and wrote the book on harvesting data from unsuspecting users has been living under a rock for the last 20 years. Google now has their ultimate tool: a super-intelligent AI that won’t just vacuum up your data like before, it understands it. It doesn’t just scan your messages for keywords. It reads your sentences and figures out what you meant.
Text your mom to ask about her headache, and Gemini sends her ads for the nearest headache clinic to her and maybe drop a Pfizer plug while it's at it. If hers in also an Android phone, it can grab her #information off her phone, turn it over to the clinic marketing team for extra attention. #Surveillance #technology with a helpful smile.
The mandatory update includes Android #phones, #watches, #tabs, the Android app in your #car #control system....if it says Android, it gets the upgrade on the 7th.
Here Is What Is aA Done Deal:
You can’t uninstall it. Gemini is baking itself in to your operating system, it is no longer an app.
You can’t block its access completely. Disabling permissions only disables visible functions you see. It's invasive background data analysis continues.
You can’t opt out if you use any part of the Google ecosystem. If you use Chrome, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, or Play Store, you’re already giving it permission to spy on your life. Find alternates to these services if you don't want vacuumed.
What You Can Do:
If your phone still gives you a choice, don't accept the Gemini switchover. But know this: most newer Androids won't ask, you won't even see it happen.
Once updated, turn off as many permissions as possible in your Settings. Especially anything related to voice input, camera, location, and clipboard access. Not just Google apps too.
Use alternate apps for messaging, browsing, and email. DuckDuckGo, Brave, ProtonMail, etc. will help limit exposure.
Minimize your Google account usage. Remove Google accounts from secondary devices, or switch to a de-Googled phone if you’re really serious.
If you aren't real sharp on the inner parts of your phone, I've written a plain-english step through of these settings for the non-tech crowd. You can find it below my signature, I hope it helps.
Final Word
The integration of AI into your most personal device without informed consent, without transparency, and without full control, is not a feature. I believe it to be a major violation of privacy. You shouldn't have to be a tech wizard to keep your personal information safe and out of corporate hands! This is going to become a much bigger topic in our life in the immediate future as we are transitioned whether we want to be or not, into the era of AI.
Best of luck,
SourdoughSam
P.S. I apologize to my regular readers who are more used to my homestead and personal ramblings. As most know, I wore a tech sword in another life. Old habits come back when I see technology running rough-shod over an unsuspecting public. I had to speak out.
Step-by-step for those of us who need steps.... 😀
🔧 How to Push Back Against the Gemini AI Update by SourdoughSam
Step 1: Don’t Tap “Upgrade” or “Switch” If prompted. If your phone still gives you a prompt to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on the 7th, do not accept it. Tap “No thanks” or “Keep Assistant.” But be aware: on many devices as of July 7, this choice may no longer appear at all.
Step 2: Check Your Default Assistant Setting after the update....
Go to: Settings → Apps → Default Apps → Digital Assistant App If Gemini is listed, try switching it back to “Google Assistant” or “None.” Not all phones will allow this anymore, depending on your update level.
Step 3: Turn Off Personalization and Activity Sharing Go to: Settings → Google → Manage Your Google Account → Data & Privacy Scroll to “Web & App Activity,” “Location History,” and “YouTube History”—turn them all off. This limits what Gemini can learn.
Step 4: Disable Gemini-Specific Features (If Available) Some phones now have a Gemini Settings section. If it exists, open it and turn off every toggle you find—especially those for “Contextual Awareness,” “Message Access,” and “Phone Controls.”
Step 5: Use Alternative Apps for Sensitive Tasks Avoid Google services when possible. Use:
DuckDuckGo or Brave for browsing
ProtonMail for email
Signal, Telegram, or Discord for messaging. This reduces the information Gemini can access through app integrations.
Step 6: Remove Unused Google Accounts If you have extra Google accounts on your phone, remove them: Settings → Accounts → tap account → Remove account The fewer Google profiles, the fewer data funnels.
Step 7: Consider De-Googling or Switching Devices For those who want full control, look into custom ROMs like #GrapheneOS or de-Googled phones like #Murena. It's not for everyone, but it’s the cleanest break from forced AI integration.ok, It's not for everyone, but it’s the cleanest break from forced AI integration. "

Even if you're using a "dumb phone" all your messages sent to a modern phone are recorded by the receiving phone's system and both of your providers.
Even when you turn your mic off, their phones listen. Even if you have no phone, Google and multiple other companies have a voice print of you and other's phones pick up and monitor your in-person conversations.
Most people's security cameras are connected to the Internet and will tie into a centralized database. Self checkouts are now doing facial recognition, so paying in cash isn't all that anonymous. Most any keyboard on a smart phone logs what you type and syncs it with Google, Apple etc, even if a message isn't sent.
Your phone registers your unique gate.
Phones register other nearby devices via NFC and other antennas.
There's license plate readers everywhere.
Even when I go around with nothing electric on me, I'll get suggestions/ads from my conversations with people in public, once I'm home..

Texas Officials Blame Agency Gutted by Trump for Results of Deadly Storm
Experts warned for months about cuts to NWS and NOAARon Filipkowski (Meidas+)
The introduction of stricter legislation and controls on food production is being used to favour large companies over smaller ones, ultimately leading to a reduction in food choices and an increase in “food tyranny,” Dr. Vernon Coleman writes.There is plenty of food on Earth. The problem is that much of it is in the wrong place. Look at what happened when the EU built its food mountains. The food was needed in Africa but the EU’s agricultural policies meant that it got stored in areas where it wasn’t needed. Tariffs on imported food, and the dumping of surpluses, together with corruption, have suppressed the development of food growing in what used to be called the “Third World.” There is no doubt that much of the starvation in Africa was directly caused by the EU dumping food there, with the result that local farmers simply could not compete and so went bankrupt.
The greedy billionaires want to get rid of farms (particularly small ones) and replace the food they produce with artificial food made in their laboratories. Their long-standing plan has suddenly become urgent since they do not want to waste a carefully created crisis. They are already selling laboratory-grown meat as beef. There will be no label to show that the meat was grown in a laboratory. The plan is that every piece of food will be digitalised and identified and part of the “Internet of Things.”
Suddenly, and belatedly, they claim to have realised that nutrition has a value in health care and they want to control our diet with legislation, advice and taxes (on sugary and fatty foods). Long-standing medical tyranny is about to be extended and to become food tyranny. They are planning to introduce medically tailored meals and to extend genetically modified foods. The policy carried out with great success in India by Monsanto, for example, will mean that farmers will have to buy all their seeds from the big companies and it will be illegal to keep seeds from one year’s crop for the following year.
Food, Inglorious Food - The Expose
The introduction of stricter legislation and controls on food production is being used to favour large companies over smaller ones, ultimately leading to a reduction in food choices and an increase in "food tyranny," Dr. Vernon Coleman writes.

Baño de masas para Mazón en el congreso del PP con el apoyo de Tellado y gracias a la numerosa delegación valenciana
Ocho meses después de la DANA cuyas lluvias torrenciales provocaron una riada que mató a 228 personas en Valencia, el jefe del Ejecutivo autonómico parece haber sido perdonado por su partido Feijóo cierra filas con Mazón tras su gestión de la DANA y bendice el pacto de presupuestos con Vox: “Buen trabajo”
El presidente de la Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, ha recibido este sábado un baño de masas durante la segunda jornada del XXI Congreso Nacional que el PP celebra en Madrid para lanzar a Alberto Núñez Feijóo a la conquista de la Moncloa.
Ocho meses después de la DANA cuyas lluvias torrenciales provocaron una riada que mató a 228 personas en Valencia, el jefe del Ejecutivo autonómico parece haber sido perdonado por su partido a pesar de las incógnitas que mantiene sobre su paradero durante la tarde de la riada, de las multitudinarias manifestaciones que se repiten cada día 29 y de episodios tan polémicos como la manipulación de audios o el ninguneo con el que ha tratado a las principales asociaciones de víctimas en diversos momentos en los últimos meses.
Con todo, este viernes fue aplaudido y agasajado por la dirección. Este sábado, Mazón se ha fotografiado con decenas de personas, incluida la delegación completa del PPCV (ver imagen principal de la información). Mazón está en el centro de la imagen. A su derecha, el nuevo secretario general del partido, mano derecha de Feijóo, Miguel Tellado. Al fondo, el diputado por Castellón y expresidente de la Generalitat accidental Alberto Fabra.
El presidente del Gobierno valenciano se mostró eufórico cuando se hizo público el nombramiento de Tellado como nuevo secretario general de la formación en sustitución de Cuca Gamarra al asegurar que en los últimos meses ha sido la persona “que más cerca ha estado de la Comunitat estos meses”.
El baño de masas de este viernes se ha producido pocas semanas después de que Feijóo felicitara a Mazón en un acto celebrado en Alicante por su “buen trabajo” durante la reconstrucción y por la consecución de los presupuestos autonómicos pactados con Vox.
Un movimiento de Feijóo que, según sostienen algunas fuentes consultadas por este diario, responde a un pacto para garantizarse la fidelidad de los compromisarios de los populares valencianos, una genuflexión a cambio de apoyo por si a Madrid y Ayuso se les ocurría presentar una alternativa en el Congreso. Y es que la Comunitat Valenciana es la segunda en número de compromisarios con 389, solo por detrás de Andalucía, con 566.
Víctimas de la DANA piden reunirse con Feijóo ante la "dificultad" para hacerlo con Mazón
La Asociación de Damnificados de l'Horta Sud-València recuerda que pusieron como condición a Mazón para ese encuentro la presencia de medios de comunicación durante la reunión, una petición que "desde el PP valenciano se ha considerado inasumible"ElDiario.es
Am reading Naomi Klein’s excellent #Doppelgänger at the moment. This section is about the investigation into residential schools in Canada a few years ago, which revealed up to 25,000 indigenous children died and were buried here. It was declared a #Genocide by the UN.
The parallels with what is happening in #Gaza are striking: settler colonialism involving not just the systematic erasure of indigenous culture but also systematic killing of children.
"JewBelong" is a disgrace.

The Israeli campaign to publicize October 7th is not an attempt to honor the victims and convince people to solve the root cause of violence.
It is a Reichstag fire level event that is being used by fascist maniacs to commit a holocaust in miniature.
It's not good that October 7th happened.
It was a horrible atrocity that was committed in retaliation against the decades long Zionist reign of terror, by a refugee population that was reduced to living in a ghetto.
Only within the context it occurred in can you understand it.

An 83-year-old priest is arrested for holding a sign saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” in Parliament Square.
These Metropolitan police officers (see their faces) will have to live with their consciences. I’m sure they were only following orders - but that doesn’t stand up in the court cases that are coming. Tick-tock.
In the UK, protesting against genocide is now terrorism.
Protesting against war crimes is now terrorism.
Protesting against children being starved to death is now terrorism.
Protesting against millions of helpless people being carpet bombed daily is now terrorism.
Up is down, evil is good, and I'm fucking proud of being a terrorist!
I support Palestine Action!
Fuck the UK government, and fuck Israel! theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…
