Scripture Reading
Romans 8:18-21

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.

The difference is not whether you vote for this party or that party. The difference is whether you have a heart or not. Change will come, and even your tanks won’t be able to stop it.

Der Text ist aus britischer Sicht geschrieben, aber gilt genauso auch für Deutschland.

Alle Realitätsverleugnung, alles Beschwören von Staatsräson und all die Repression gegenüber Genozid-Gegnern wird etwa deutschen Politikern am Ende nicht helfen. Beteiligung an und Unterstützung und Billigung & Leugnung von Kriegsverbrechen sind auch in Deutschland zu bestrafen.

@primocudeiro correcto, no son incompatibles, pero de lo que se está hablando en este hilo es de la instrumentalización de la "lucha contra la pornografía" para atacar al colectivo, así que considera si venir aquí a poner énfasis en algo de lo que en ningún momento se ha hablado no es desviar el foco del debate.

Y te recuerdo que, según la netiqueta, escribir en mayúsculas es el equivalente a levantar la voz. Yo no te he levantado la voz en ningún momento. Si lo vuelves a hacer te bloquearé.

@shgalano Vale, voy a tratar de explicarlo lo mejor que sé porque estáis haciendo justo lo que esas organizaciones ultraconservadoras quieren; mirar el dedo cuando se señala el cielo.

Esto no tiene nada que ver con la pornografía en internet. Nada. Quien tiene la sartén por el mango es el duopolio visa-mastercard que presionan para que retiren todo aquello que no les gusta.

En el caso de itch, hablamos de juegos indie que, para poder conseguirlos, hay que comprarlos y por tanto procesar esos pagos. Pero es que verás, los menores de edad no pueden tener cuenta bancaria, así que si tienen una tarjeta es porque sus progenitores le han proporcionado una, y ahí no me vale eso de "es que los padres no pueden estar siempre encima". Que bueno, eso es otro debate de hasta qué punto la gente se descarga alegremente de la responsabilidad para con su descendencia.

Así que realmente el problema que comentas no existe (o es una fracción nimia de lo que nos quieren vender). Los juegos que se compran con tarjeta y son para adultos ya tienen ese filtro y si hay niñes que los compran la responsabilidad es de sus xadres. El resto es otro debate que distrae de lo que acabo de explicar, que es lo que quieren.

Fuelling MetOp-SG-A1

The journey to launch is picking up pace for Europe’s MetOp Second Generation weather satellite – which hosts the Copernicus Sentinel-5 as part of its instrument package. Specialists at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou have completed the critical and hazardous task of fuelling the satellite, marking a major milestone in its final preparations for liftoff.

🧠 Destructive humor can be a subtle, invisible weapon that chips away at others' self-esteem. When used to belittle or mock, it undermines confidence and can deepen feelings of insecurity.

In relationships affected by narcissistic dynamics, such humor often masks deeper control and manipulation motives. Recognizing this pattern is key to protecting your mental well-being and setting healthy boundaries.

Remember: humor should uplift, not undermine. If you or someone you know experiences this, seeking support can help rebuild self-worth and resilience. 💪✨ #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfEsteemMatters

In “The Red Devil” a play written by Antoine Rault there is a conversation between Colbert (Minister of Finance under Louis XIV) and Mazarin. The contents of this exchange have gone into the annals of history > Colbert: “When trying to find money, there is always a moment when messing about is no longer enough. Please, Lord High Treasurer, tell me how one can manage to spend more when already up to one’s neck in debt…” -Mazarin: “When you are a simple mortal, of course, and swamped in debt, you are sent to prison but the State… well the State is a different kettle of fish. The State cannot be thrown in prison. And so the debt increases! Every State does that.” Colbert: “Oh really? Is that what you think? However, we need money and how can you find any when you’ve already devised every imaginable tax?” -Mazarin: “We create others”. Colbert: “We can’t tax the poor more than we do already.” -Mazarin: “Yes, that’s true.” Colbert: «So, what about the rich?» -Mazarin: «We can’t tax the rich either. They would stop spending. A rich person who spends feeds hundreds of poor people». Colbert: “So, what should we do?” -Mazarin: “Colbert, your reasoning is completely illogical! Lots of people are neither one thing nor the other, neither poor, nor rich… French people work in the hope of becoming rich but dreading being poor! Those are the people we should be taxing, more and more! They are the ones! The more you take from them, the more they work to make up for it… That well never runs dry.”

is there any way to put my extra memory to use to play av1 files if my cpu overloads? Debian 12.11


debian 12.11

system memory size: 31GiB, 2 15.5 GiB cards

cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz, version: 6.142.9, size: 3268MHz, capacity: 3500MHz, width: 64 bits

no graphics card whatsoever

computer can play h.265 and equivalent without troubles, provided video file is no higher than 1080 p.

Computer can play av1 files no higher than 1080 p only if I shut every other application down. If for example I run a browser and an av1 file with either mpv or vlc, system shuts down.

Can I put all that memory to use and avoid overloading the cpu?

ETA: temperature seems to be the reason why this machine shuts down. Fan is ok, not too much dust, it needs a re-paste

I had an i5-7200u equipped laptop and I could do AV1 playback, not well but it didn't do what you described.

Also is it maxing out memory or cpu? I would check btop during playback. Look at CPU usage, memory usage and temps while doing so and report here.

Edit: Something is definitely wrong with your machine, that is abnormal behavior. Maybe it's overheating, maybe it's trying to do some sort of gpu decode and has no idea what to do with it as it doesn't support it. Can you check what encoder mpv is using? I would assume it would failback to CPU.

Travelling the world Roxette live


Considering that Roxette is one of Scandinavia's most successful acts ever, it's about time a documentary on their phenomenal career sees the light of day. And considering that the group played in front of 1.5 million people in 46 countries during their sensational comeback tour 2011-2012, it's about time for a concert film that shows where this magnificently rejuvenated group stands today.

Who left the “gates” between Israel and Gaza unguarded and easily opened by Hamas and others on Oct. 7, and Why ?


Can anyone really believe that if #Israel can track and assassinate leaders of #Hamas, #Hezbollah, #Iran, and other enemies around the world with ease, or plant explosives in pagers which it then has distributed to its enemies, or eliminate journalists quickly, that it somehow failed to anticipate and have intelligence about a well planned, massive and and eminent attack against Israel?

An Israeli military investigation released in 2025 would dupe us into believing that it was a 'complete failure' to protect civilians and anticipate attack and that Israel was “tricked” by Hamas.

It is more likely the other way around, given long time reported clandestine Israeli funding for Hamas as a means of creating disunity in the Palestinian political system. In addition, by funding an “enemy” Netanyahu always has the threat of Hama to use as a political tool to keep himself in power. Not to mention the Israeli operatives who infiltrated the ranks of Hamas. Hamas has not and is still not demanding the recognition of the State of Palestine and compliance with the decision of the International Court of Justice that Israel and its settles vacate Palestine. Why not ?

Lobbing ineffective missiles indiscriminately by Hamas is a violation of International Law, thus depriving Hamas of much world support, and providing a “justified” more destructive response from Israel. Hamas, for whatever reason, was totally wrong to think it could participate in a massacre without Gazans and all Palestinians paying the gruesome price. and total disregard for International Law, losing world support for its “resistance” against The Occupation.

Intelligence failure? This Israel-Gaza border is the most surveilled, observed, and armed in the world. Was this in essence a " #falseflag " attack promoted by the leaders of Israel in order to justify the seizure of Palestine?

Given how power crazy Netanyahu is, changing laws to escape being tried for corruption, with his long running clandestine support for Hamas to provide him a political foil, and with the over thee edge extreme mind set of the fundamentalist Zionist regime he leads, is it not plausible that the border was left unguarded on purpose? Anyone who would retaliate for the murder of a thousand and a quarter innocents with the murder of more than seventy thousand, inflict life longs scars on a million children, reduce Gaza to rubble, and try to annex the West Bank and East Jerusalem is certainly capable of such.

ON Dec. 8, 2021 the Associated Press reported that
"Israel on Tuesday announced the completion of an enhanced security barrier around the Gaza Strip designed to prevent militants from sneaking into the country."

"The 65-kilometer (40-mile) barrier includes radar systems, maritime sensors and a network of underground sensors to detect militant tunnels. Existing fencing was replaced with a 6-meter-high (6.5-yard-high) “smart fence” with sensors and cameras."

"Defense Minister Benny Gantz announced the completion of the barrier after more than three years of construction, saying it places an “iron wall” between Hamas and residents of southern Israel."

As one retired Israeli Army Commander wrote, “Something here doesn't work out for me!!! I was the commander of the Kerem Shalom (Rafih) section, I was in charge of the accumulation section, I know the fence of the system very well, I know how the army works there.

The fence alerts according to 3 degrees of pressure. There are forces 24/7 that are responsible for arriving in a few minutes, if not seconds to the point where there is an alert in the fence. The observers are champions of identification. They don’t miss. They recognize movement before it even approached an obstacle-day and night. So how does a Palestinian tractor move towards the fence without anyone reacting to it? How did the tractor manage to rope a fence for a long hour and open access to Israel without anyone reacting to it? How did all this happen under our noses? Where did the whole military brigade disappear ? Where were all the reserve battalions? Where did thousands of soldiers disappear??? Someone here needs to provide some explanations!

If we believe that this Hamas surprise attack was an intelligence failure, it may be our own intelligence which is failing us.

pst hey, just because people are using AI features doesn't mean they like them or chose them. Google, Microsoft, and Meta all know how to growth-hack features with UI tricks and they are doing it **aggressively** with their AI garbage. then they produce metrics that say "wow! look! people are using AI!!" so they can justify to Wall St. wasting tens of billions of dollars on this stuff.
in reply to Peter

if users wanted it, they would go find it, but over and over again they do **not** go find it. no one is buying "AI" laptops, no one is using Apple's AI features, no one wants Clippy Pro to write e-mails for them. to the extent people use AI, it's to do fraud and for some niche tasks like some coding, proof reading, etc. this is not enough to justify $800bn in capex! so they have to growth-hack.

Outstripping our capacity for social logistics is really the core issue exacerbating every other problem we've got-- we can't relate to each other very well in populations this large, or track the consequences of our social behaviors, and our development of social media should have been urgently geared to brace against that. Instead the focus has been ad revenue which means our tech has only been driving in increasingly depraved directions packed with lies, which ain't helping. We're drowning in noise.
