#civ7 #game

Most of the main complaints about Civilization 7 stem from the radical changes Firaxis made to the traditional Civilization formula. In previous Civ games, leaders were typically based on real-life rulers and politicians. However, in Civilization 7, figures who never actually governed a nation—like Benjamin Franklin and Harriet Tubman—are listed as Civ 7 leaders. To make things even more confusing, Civ 7 players can mix and match leaders with unrelated civilizations. This means that a French emperor like Napoleon Bonaparte, for example, could end up ruling China.

😩 IA rien qui va

CherryWingNLR: Et donc, ils nous ont diffusé un reportage d’ARTE sur les canaux, moitié en français, et moitié en allemand non sous-titré. Vu que personne parlait allemand, ils ont utilisé une IA pour faire les sous-titres.
CherryWingNLR: Déjà, rien que sur la partie en allemand, on se rendait bien compte que les sous-titres n’avaient pas l’air de correspondre à l’image.
CherryWingNLR: Mais c’est quand ça parle en français de la construction du canal, et que l’IA a sous-titré “Top 10 des recettes de spaghettis” qu’on a comprit qu’il y avait un problème.

Error happened.

"This work of fiction contains some elements that could vaguely be construed as progressive, therefore I should make it all about sodomy."

Sodomy isn't actually interesting though. Politics, religion, philosophy, etc. are all interesting and capable of being analyzed in a deep and meaningful way. For that matter, sex too can be interesting and meaningful. But sodomy is sex stripped of its function and deep spiritual meaning, and reduced to good-feeling friction between two soulless husks. Even those who obsess over such things don't really find it meaningful, they just use it as an empty distraction from the meaninglessness and despair of their own lives.

As the Sun approaches the most active part of its eleven-year magnetic cycle this summer, NASA volunteers have been watching it closely. Now they’ve spotted a new trend in solar behavior that will have you reaching for your suntan lotion. It’s all about something called a “Type II” solar radio burst: “Type II solar radio […]

🛑 Pourquoi #Macron semble-t-il intouchable ? Voici les raisons principales 👇

Une Constitution qui protège le président
→ Sous la Ve République, le président bénéficie d’une quasi immunité pendant son mandat. Il ne peut être poursuivi ni jugé pour ses actes officiels.
→ Sa #destitution (article 68) est quasiment impossible : elle exige un vote aux 2/3 du Parlement… qui lui est fidèle.
Des institutions verrouillées
→ Macron a placé des proches à des postes stratégiques : Conseil d’État, Cour des comptes, préfets, justice…
→ Il nomme les hauts #magistrats et les #procureurs qui, souvent, freinent les enquêtes gênantes.
Des #médias sous influence
→ La majorité des grands médias français appartiennent à quelques milliardaires proches du pouvoir.
→ L’information est filtrée, édulcorée, orientée. Peu d’enquêtes dérangeantes arrivent jusqu’au public.
Une opposition divisée et affaiblie
→ Les anciens partis (PS, LR) ont été neutralisés.
→ L’opposition actuelle est discréditée ou diabolisée : Mélenchon, Le Pen, Philippot ou Asselineau sont marginalisés.
Des affaires enterrées ou ralenties
→ Affaires #McKinsey, #Benalla, #Alstom, conflits d’intérêts : rien n’avance. La #justice semble à deux vitesses.
Un soutien des élites mondialisées
→ Macron est le chouchou de Bruxelles, #Davos, Washington, car il applique leurs politiques sans broncher. Il est donc soutenu à l’international.

📌 Conclusion : Macron ne l’est pas par magie, il est « intouchable » car il s’appuie sur un système verrouillé : institutions contrôlées, médias dociles, justice lente, opposition affaiblie.
⚠️ Si nous voulons que ça change, il faut dénoncer ces blocages, exiger la fin de l’impunité et appeler à une refondation démocratique réelle.

"America First" veut dire la guerre contre la Russie, la Chine et l’Iran thealtworld.substack.com/p/ame…

I am much more concerned about 1 Chinese person immigrating to the United States than 1 Indian person

The Chinese government holds their families hostage and makes demands on them even if they get United States citizenship

Even if they would like to be an upstanding citizen in the United States it is very difficult for them to help people in the United States when China sent them in with the intent to be a hostile spy and is holding their family hostage

Der Botschafter des Staats #Israel bei der UN hat eben bekannt gegeben dass der Staat Israel #UNOCHA, (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) also die UN-Behörde für Koordination von humanitären Angelegenheiten vor die Tür setzen wird. Visa werden nicht erneuert, Mitarbeiter sollen das Land verlassen - insgesamt soll die Arbeit von OCHA in den Gebieten wie den OPT, in denen Israel rechtlich überhaupt kein Sagen hat beendet werden.
in reply to stephie

Das Playbook ist das gleiche wie sie schon bei UNRWA durchgezogen haben - sie erklären sie einfach quasi zu Freunden von Hamas.
Beweise haben sie dafür im Falle von UNRWA bis heute nicht vorgelegt.

Es sei daran erinnert, dass alle UN-Mitglieder verpflichtet sind mit den UN-Behörden zusammenzuarbeiten. Die humanitären Koordinatoren aus dem Land zu werfen, während gerade massenweise Menschen verhungern ist quasi Super-Schurken-Niveau.

Intel MEI and AMD PSP should they be turned on in the kernel?


We decided on this upgrade of linux 5.15 ver 189 (25/7/17) to turn them off but the problem with them is they can work before the system even boots, some say if power is connected to the machine even when it was powered down, they can still work.
They (experts) also say that AMD doesn\t/didn't use a network stack, so what it does is not communicating with "home" while INTEL mei is almost certain that it can.
Intel chips and firmware have been designed and developed by Intel-Israel in Haifa for nearly 20? years now if this means anything to anyone. US gov high security machines get certified by factories those chips are disabled totally, but not everyone else's.

If oyu have faith and trust on those industries to "secure" your machine, like big daddy in the sky, go ahead and turn all kinds of telemetry on, MEI and PSP on in the kernel to make their "service" easier. In other words, build the kernel yourself.
From now on, to be consistent all kernel rebuilds will have this turned off at the config.

Today you get 5.15.189 (jobcore/linux & linux-headers) with MEI and PSP crypto turned off.

Cardinal calls Israel’s policy in Gaza ‘morally unjustifiable’ after visit

Israel’s government is pursuing an “unacceptable and morally unjustifiable” policy in Gaza, the Catholic Latin patriarch of Jerusalem has said after visiting a church in the territory that was attacked by Israeli forces last week and meeting survivors.

Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa said he had witnessed extreme hunger on the brief trip, his first into Gaza this year, and described Israeli blocks on food and medical shipments as a “sentence” for starving Palestinians.

“Humanitarian aid is not only necessary, it is a matter of life and death,” he told journalists in Jerusalem after the visit. “Every hour without food, water, medicine and shelter causes deep harm.”

Pizzaballa travelled to Gaza with the Greek Orthodox patriarch Theophilos III, in a show of cross-denominational solidarity after the attack on the Holy Family church that killed three people and injured nine others including the priest, Gabriel Romanelli, who used to receive daily calls from the late Pope Francis.

The cardinal accused Israel’s government of pursuing a war without justification, and warned against plans to force Palestinians to leave the territory, which are backed by much of the Israeli cabinet.

“We need to say with frankness and clarity that this policy of the Israeli government in Gaza is unacceptable and morally we cannot justify it,” he said. “There can be no future based on captivity, displacement of Palestinians or revenge.”

Extrait : Dès son arrivée, on a vu qu’elle n’allait pas bien : peau jaunâtre, beaucoup trop maigre. Le vétérinaire était pessimiste… mais mon mari, lui, n’abandonne jamais un animal. Il a insisté pour tenter le tout pour le tout : alimentation ultra-protéinée, soins intensifs…

(Verschiedene Routen durch verschiedene Tage. Wegpunkte, Veränderungen, Stadtgeschwindigkeit, Sommerwiesen. Man wird von vertrauten Silhouetten überholt, aber nicht erkannt, neue Sonne lässt den Asphalt dampfen, die Kreuzungen sind gewohnt hektisch und manche der Ecken, um die man biegt, nach wie vor zu laut. Tiefgarage, Treppenhaus, Bürotür. Der Kalender und der Horizont.)

Fleur Breteau : Je suis malade comme les arbres sont malades, comme les abeilles sont malades.
Avec la loi Duplomb, les politiques ont appuyé sur le détonateur de la maladie, mais aussi sur la colère de la population. Il y a un élan. Ils pensaient pouvoir nous détruire en silence, mais ils nous unissent.
