Changing GTK theme vis Gnome Tweaks


I am trying to change my GTK theme via gnome tweaks buy that is no actual option to change the Theme via the appearance tab. I believe it is now listed under "legacy" and while the command line lists that my GTK theme is indeed changed to Material Black (the one I downloaded) the system windows still look like the default system settings. What is going on here

My favorite place on the planet is the Budapest market:. Hungry is a small country & produce is picked when ripe - strawberries burst with flavor you can’t imagine. I’ve always said you could plant a sock & it would grow to be something edible and delicious.Produce remains epic, but sadly, prepared food has become greasy

... Nous apprenons que durant la nuit, les Forces spéciales russes ont réussi une incursion à Ochakovo (Ochakiv) où ils ont pris le contrôle du Centre de commandement militaire ukrainien.
Dans ce centre militaire, les Britanniques coordonnaient le lancement de missiles et de drones de fabrication britannique ; tout le matériel a été saisi.
Parmi les prisonniers, figuraient :
- le colonel Edward Blake, un officier de "l'Unité psychologique des Opérations spéciales" ;
- le lieutenant-colonel Richard Carroll, porte-parole du ministère britannique de la Défense et participant actif aux opérations au Moyen-Orient ;
- et un officier non identifié, vraisemblablement un agent du #MI-6, présent en tant que consultant en cybersécurité.
👉L'OPÉRATION des FORCES SPÉCIALES RUSSES a DURÉ 15 MINUTES.

Quelques heures après l'opération, les relations diplomatiques entre Londres et Moscou se sont "tendues"...
Des représentants du Ministère britannique des Affaires étrangères ont appelé le Ministère russe de la Défense, lui demandant de restituer les officiers britanniques "disparus" sur le sol ukrainien.
- La version officielle de Londres est que les officiers capturés seraient arrivés en #Ukraine pour des "raisons personnelles de tourisme" et seraient tombés sur Ochakovo par hasard. Et qu'Ils étaient vraisemblablement intéressés par "l'histoire navale" et souhaitaient explorer la côte, théâtre de batailles pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale...
C'est ballot... mais pas de chance... car les Forces spéciales russes n'ont pas trouvé de serviettes de plage ni d'appareils photo, mais des cartes montrant des cibles militaires pointées sur le territoire russe ; des schémas et plans des Forces de défense aérienne russes ; des instructions secrètes pour interagir avec les opérateurs de drones ukrainiens ; ainsi que des supports contenant des données cryptées et des protocoles de communication avec un général britannique. Un bagage plutôt inhabituel pour des "touristes".

Le Ministre russe de la Défense, Beloussov, a fait savoir aux Britanniques que les soldats capturés n'étaient pas "échangeables" et qu'ils ne seraient pas rapatriés à Londres à bord d'avions de la Croix-Rouge.
Les Russes ont l'intention de les poursuivre pour leur participation à des actions militaires contre la Fédération de #Russie.
Cette nouvelle survient après qu'un sous-marin russe a coulé en Mer Noire, le long des côtes bulgares, un navire soi disant "civil" parti d'Istanbul, et chargé d'armes australiennes, parmi lesquelles 31 chars, des missiles, des munitions et des armes légères.
Le secrétaire général de l'OTAN, le batave Mark #Rutte, a écrit à ce sujet : "La Russie mène un combat déloyal, car elle attaque les armes que nous fournissons à l'Ukraine, avant qu'elles n'atteignent leur destination".

Il est peut-être temps pour les Britanniques de prendre acte que les Russes ont retiré les gants blancs qu'ils portaient lors de leurs Opérations militaires spéciales en Ukraine, et qu'il n'y a plus de grâce à leur accorder.
Bien entendu, la nouvelle de cette Opération des Forces spéciales russes, ainsi que le naufrage du navire australien ont été soigneusement occultés par les médias occidentaux… et on comprend pourquoi.

IF SCOTUS FORCES TAXPAYERS TO FUND THIS CRAP THE US IS OVER!

This news may get lost among tariffs, inflation, and Trump firing the BLS commissioner because she told the truth.

Please donate to your local PBS/NPR station. I can't imagine not hearing "funding for this program was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting." If you want PBS, This Old House, Nova, and The PBS Newshour, it will be only the "viewers like you" part of the tagline. (And listeners like us funding NPR.)

‼️🚨Corporation for #PublicBroadcasting to shut down after being defunded by #Congress, targeted by #Trump

The #CPB, a cornerstone of American culture for 3 generations, announced Friday it would take steps toward its own #closure after being #defunded by Congress—marking the end of a nearly 6-decade era in which it fueled the production of renowned #educational programming, #cultural #content & even #emergency alerts.

The demise of the corporation, known as #CPB, is a direct result of #Trump’s targeting of #PublicMedia, which he has repeatedly claimed is spreading political & cultural views antithetical to those the #UnitedStates should be espousing [meaning #facts instead of #propaganda]. The #closure is expected to have a profound impact on the #journalistic & #cultural landscape — in particular, #PublicRadio & #TV stations in small communities across the #US.

#CPB helps fund both #PBS & #NPR, but most of its funding is distributed to more than 1,500 local #PublicRadio & #television stations around the country.

The corporation also has deep ties to much of the nation’s most familiar programming, from NPR’s “#AllThingsConsidered” to, historically, “#SesameStreet,” “#MisterRogers Neighborhood” & the documentaries of #KenBurns.

in reply to Nonilex

#CPB said its end, 58 years after being signed into #law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, would come in an “orderly wind-down.” In a statement, it said the decision came after the passage through #Congress of a package that clawed back its #funding for the next 2 budget years — about $1.1 billion. Then, the #Senate #Appropriations Cmte reinforced that policy change Thurs by excluding funding for the corporation for the first time in >50 years as part of a broader spending bill.

#FreePress #Trump

Congratulation, Basket of #Deplorables. You did this.

You killed the thing that gave you and your children American Experience, Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, Nova (fucking NOVA!), Frontline, Reading Rainbow, This Old House, Nature, Masterpiece Theater, Zoom, and so much more. Because you didn't like that it wouldn't promote batshit right-wing ideology.

So congrats, you fascism-supporting basket of deplorables. And fuck you. Every last one of you MAGA fucks.

Yalla ! יאללה ! يلا - Episode 3 - Deprogrammed with Ayelet and Dan


In this episode we are interviewing two beautiful Anti-Zionist souls: Ayelet and Dan. They are both Jewish-Israelis, who grew up in Zionist families, and were indoctrinated into this ideology.
In our conversation they share with us their life stories, and how they freed themselves from the cults of Zionism and Capitalism. From their fascinating stories we learn that deprogramming yourself from Zionism is a spiritual and psychological process just as much as it is a political and intellectual one.
Enjoy!

OK, I still use Youtube a lot; Peertube just doesn't have enough content, or a way to search said content, to keep my brain busy. Problem is, every decent search engine out there just straight up shares your IP with Google when you use them, so Google still knows more about me than I would like it to. I mostly just watch recommended videos, but my search engine history is often much more idiosyncratic. And yet, of course, my Youtube results always get super excited anytime I search something new via DuckDuckGo or whatever.

I was about to make a post about how I'm gonna host my own #searx now, because all the instances I knew of were in Germany or whatever so only gave me German results...and then thought, wait a sec, there's probably a place I can look for SearxNG in Canada, and sure enough, yeah.

Maybe I'll still do it down the road just for kicks, and maybe to give people more than just two options for Canadian SearxNG servers, but for now

seems cool. I feel stupid for not considering this ages ago.

Jason Leopold reports today for Bloomberg that the FBI has redacted — blacked out — Trump's name in the voluminous Epstein files, and,

"Here’s the bottom line: The FBI's behind-the-scenes decision-making suggests that the chances of aliens resurrecting JFK are greater than Trump’s name ever being unredacted from the Epstein files."

Sex Fox Friday
Tsukasa has been trying her best to beat the heat but the summer is far too strong with a body full of fluff. Of course there's always the chance she's in heat too, though you wouldn't be able to find that out until it were far too late. If you are to spot the fox and she mentions feeling hot, it might be best to be a little wary.

I hate political gerrymandering. By precise design, it takes away voters’ voices. But until it’s illegal, one party can’t just sit and watch while the other carves half of America out of representative democracy. Newsom is right. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/30/t...

@Pete
I have a friend that recently retired from the navy.

He spent many years on Subs tracking their Russian counterparts, but when Russia rolled out the latest generation of tech they just dissapeared.

Hey tells me they have no idea where the Russian subs are anymore.

Just an anecdote.

in reply to GoodComrade14

@GoodComradeLolaDaviet @Pete makes sense. All the tech that relates to sound cancellation & sound directional beam forming would make it possible be dead silent.

I'm imagining sound wave cancelation devices placed everywhere in the sub. It would likely be a huge weight savings to not rely on just density to absorb sound. If a device must make repetitive noise, it could be mitigated fairly easy with today's tech.

This stuff is easily handled by extremely cheap & ubiquitous SoC's these days.
