Google Japan makes a neat-but-useless keyboard every October 1st.

There's a super long one, one that's a cup, one that's a hat, and one that's a spoon.
Probably more that I'm not remembering.
Yeah, it dates back to 1949. Shortly after the sino-japanese war on the 1st of October 1949 the CCP announced the creation of the People's republic of china.
The Japanese were all like, LOL, that's our empire why do you say it's a country and it became tradition to make outlandish jokes on the 1st of October. So to this day when the PRC celebrate their national day Japan celebrate jokes day (冗談の日).
Also I made that shit up.
What the fuck is this? I hate it. I hate this thing that Google made.
Lol... I'm sorry. It's just... I hate everything Google makes these days. They make everything worse in 2024, and that's not a change over the last 5-10 years.
Got a "Perform MOK management" screen while trying to boot Linux Mint without Secure Boot with UEFI, what does it mean?
Update to this post. Please read it before commenting!
So I ended up following instructions I found online and disabled secure boot in my BIOS and then tried to boot Linux Mint (version 21.2, Cinnamon Edition) with UEFI OS. However, as soon as I did that, i got a "Perform MOK management" screen that said the following:
Continue boot Enroll MOK Enroll key from disk Enroll hash from disk
Can anyone tell me what this means and what I should do? Do keep in mind I'm a total newbie when it comes to Linux. Thanks in advance!

For Secure Boot, the kernel is "signed" with a key. During boot up, Secure Boot checks to make sure that key is valid. Most kernels are signed with Microsoft's key that is preloaded on basically every system. However, not all kernels can be signed with Microsoft's key; if you install a proprietary driver (which you likely selected to during the setup), to continue using secure boot you need to sign the kernel using your own key.
That's what MOK management is for. You are adding your own key to your system to use for Secure Boot.
Personally, I just disable Secure Boot. While it does have some security benefits, it's not worth the headache IMO.
Continue boot, install Mint and then reenable Secure Boot after I'm done installing?

Trying to set up a VLAN to play with friends

With VLANs, you can separate traffic that goes over the same physical wire.
With a VPN, on the other hand, you can connect devices from anywhere on the planet, as if they were in the same LAN, which bypasses firewalls, NAT and all that crap. Presumably, you want a VPN.
A VPN is what you want, not VLANS that is used to segment parts of the local network. not to get your friends in too your local network.
A simple and easy to use solution is wireguard easy.

I'll be "that guy":
F-Droid is a software repository, not an app store. The distinction is subtle but important. A software repository offers a community-curated collection of software packages whereas an app store is just a marketplace for software developers to offer products to end-users. A software repository serves the interests of its community first, whereas an app store is merely a means for developers to sell products to end-users.

I disagree, heres how the EU defines terroristic threats:

EDIT: sorry I put the hexbears quote in a comment: lemmy.world/comment/12658620
Do you have a copy of the actual threat? Because "you are a settler" is stupid but not an actual threat.
I don't know where you got that picture from, I can't find the legal definition for a terroristic threat within the EU. The best I could find is:
For the purposes of this Convention, "public provocation to commit a terorist offence" means the distribution, or otherwise making available, of a message to the public, with the intent to incite the commission of a terrorist offence, where such conduct, whether or not directly committed.
That's just a convention, though, not direct law. The definition by the convention does require proof of intent, which I haven't found about the cringe hexbear user.

So this incitement is directed at me but also applies to all Americans.
furthermore I tried to confirm in DMs if he really meant death to all americans and you can see his response on the top here:
EDIT: I got that definition from their PDF home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/docu…
That screenshot again proves that this person is extremely cringe, presumably a troll, but there's still no threat. At worst that's racism against Americans. Should obviously be removed by moderators from any normal online service that wants to encourage pleasant conversation, but that's not necessarily illegal.
As for the PDF, that's not a legal definition by any kind, it's a quick explainer for a law that only applies to hosting providers receiving complaints from European authorities. So yes, if the Belgian police sent a takedown notice regarding terroristic content then it does apply.
However, that regulation is mere instruction to EU states to draft compliant laws. It's not actionable legislation in itself (similar to the GDPR).
The full text of the Regulation does include this instruction for EU countries, which I haven't seen before:
In order to provide clarity about the actions that both hosting service providers and competent authorities are to take to address the dissemination of terrorist content online, this Regulation should establish a definition of ‘terrorist content’ for preventative purposes, consistent with the definitions of relevant offences under Directive (EU) 2017/541 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). Given the need to address the most harmful terrorist propaganda online, that definition should cover material that incites or solicits someone to commit, or to contribute to the commission of, terrorist offences, solicits someone to participate in activities of a terrorist group, or glorifies terrorist activities including by disseminating material depicting a terrorist attack. The definition should also include material that provides instruction on the making or use of explosives, firearms or other weapons or noxious or hazardous substances, as well as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) substances, or on other specific methods or techniques, including the selection of targets, for the purpose of committing or contributing to the commission of terrorist offences. Such material includes text, images, sound recordings and videos, as well as live transmissions of terrorist offences, that cause a danger of further such offences being committed. When assessing whether material constitutes terrorist content within the meaning of this Regulation, competent authorities and hosting service providers should take into account factors such as the nature and wording of statements, the context in which the statements were made and their potential to lead to harmful consequences in respect of the security and safety of persons. The fact that the material was produced by, is attributable to or is disseminated on behalf of a person, group or entity included in the Union list of persons, groups and entities involved in terrorist acts and subject to restrictive measures should constitute an important factor in the assessment.
However, the Regulation also refers to human rights such as freedom of expression. One can be of the opinion that it's better for the USA to stop existing without any plans or support for actual genocide. Someone expressing hate for your country isn't immediately a terrorist.

My experience with microsoft's ads for linux.
Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft.
5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up.
Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.
I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.
/endrant
Hope y'all are having a great day :3

What are they?
I ditched Windows roughly 15 years ago and I run a MS Silver partner shop.
I daily drive Kubuntu (was Arch but I need to tick boxes). I used to teach DTP, WP, spreadsheets etc and Libre Office is fine as a replacement for MSO. Email - Exchange and Evolution EWS. I create the most complicated docs in my firm and MSO works with them OK.
I 3D print stuff and use LibreCAD and OpenSCAD. All good. Also note that there are lots of other CAD apps on Linux for free/libre and of course we have
As far as I am aware, games is the only area that Linux might fail and that issue is shrinking rapidly.
Once I'll get my workflow Linux ready, I think I'll use some distro with KDE
For my part, I couldn't care less about your windows app frustrations and your "intention to leave Windows".
If I wanted to hear what's happening on Windows, I would have subscribed to some Windows related channels. I didn't.
Your post has nothing to do with Linux.
Agreed. I don't come here to read about windows.
Also, "microsoft's ads for linux" in the title is ~~a fraud~~ clickbait.
You are on the council, but we do not grant you the rank of Linux.
I doubt that's deliberate (it's probably depending on some other task or shit that you don't even intend to use), but it's exactly the kind of bloat that turns people away from Windows.
Windows seems to work alright for my work pc, where I'm constantly logged into their cloud, newer switch users, logged in long enough daily to get all the updates and have IT to roll out stuff, so I hardly ever have issues there.
My personal computer is a different thing. I have several users, use it about once weekly, making it basically unbootable. As soon as I open the lid, Microsoft starts bugging me to do a shit load of things and download gigabytes of crap that Microsoft, and not I, needs me to do before I can even use it. More often than not I simply close the lid again.
It's not unusual to meet people who don't even have a pc these days. Most people can solve their daily stuff on any cell phone browser. I find it kinda amusing that Microsoft is pushing people that way.
Microsoft had made a product that has for decades been used to run other people's software. They've unintentionally made windows a "monopoly" in the sense that no other os can run windows only software perfectly. Most consumers will probably think Linux " is just a terminal and too advanced", and the others who can install a distro might still be locked into using windows because not all software can run under wine.
So to you they might seem overconfident in that you can switch, but for some they're shit out of luck in the department of alternatives. Microsoft knows they can exploit their users, and they will do it
I cannot speak for the OP but most of the pepper claiming they are waiting will not switch. They may use an illegally patched or trimmed version of Windows 11. Many won’t even do that.
The biggest risk for Microsoft is that everybody stays on Windows 10 without updates. Or that massive customers will force them to push back the “enterprise” date over and over. To encourage migration, expect Microsoft to make Windows 10 just as bad as 11 before support expires.

Windows is a platform for Office. Linux is not a supported platform for Office. Most businesses will not migrate their desktops off Windows because they will not migrate their workforce off Office.
Beyond that, Windows is not as important to Microsoft as it used to be. The real money makers are Azure and Office. With Azure, they do not care if you run Linux. They even have their own distro ( Azure Linux — previously CBL Mariner ).
Azure is the future ( even for Office ).
Since Windows is less strategic, Microsoft is looking to milk it as a cash cow while they can. So, Product Management is tasked with finding new ways to monetize it. Data is worth a lot of money. The best way to farm data from users these days is to frame it as security ( or AI ).
Expect a lot more SIngle Sign On. Expect a lot more AI. Expect a lot more cloud integration. Expect all of these to focus on data harvesting.
A bit later, expect “services” for Linux that attempt the same. Like Google on Android. This is harder though as Windows does not have monopoly control over Linux as a platform. I am sure they are having many meetings about how to change that.
You cannot use anything without signing up. You can't use clip champ which should require 0 Internet connectivity.
They want to act as if linking your account is a prerequisite when it's neither required or helpful
I'm glad that you want to switch to Linux, but I think there'd be open source solutions for Windows too. I daily drive Linux, and I would begin with looking for open source timers if I ever need timers. Why not do the same in Windows too?
Here are a few: alternativeto.net/software/fre…
Not the OP but he may mean that application authors have unintentionally made Windows a monopoly.
Either way, I am not sure I agree about the intentionality. App devs didn’t slip and support only Windows by accident. They may not have explicitly intended all the consequences of Windows monopoly but one dominant platform is an advantage for the app vendors too. Too many targets to support is part of what keeps commercial software off Linux.
The only ones hurt by a Windows monopoly are the consumers. Well, and commercial Windows alternatives obviously. But all the app makers are fine with it.
Valve ( makers of Steam ) can be seen as an alternative platform for gaming. This is why you see Valve investing so heavily in Linux even though they make all their money on Windows.
Which is so weird, because office is crapware. It’s terrible software.
If so then all the other offerings are even worse crapware.
In my experience Microsoft Office opens twice as fast reliably than LibreOffice (when I terminate the process responsible for keeping it ready it takes about the same amount of time but it's no slower importantly).
Microsoft office is simply the best. It's a fact. It can do tons of things that Libreoffice and OpenOffice cannot. It has tons of advanced features, it's just a superior office suite.
Comparing LibreOffice to Microsoft Office is like comparing a Lexus SUV with the full package of options installed compared to a basic fleet Ford sedan. Yes both can do very basic things and if you just need to type some things or do very basic spreadsheets then they're interchangeable.
But ask some slightly advanced things like sortable tables (Excel does easily) and suddenly only MS office can do that and the LibreOffice people tell you to pound sand and use a database which doesn't make sense for a lot of tasks when you may just be preparing some data for example for a presentation or some quick financial work (I'm talking about stuff for myself, not a professional accountant), etc. Take a look at design options in MS Word compared to LibreOffice writer. Both have title and header styling options but the MS office ones simply look more professional, cleaner, and they have more options you can easily tweak. If I'm presenting a report I absolutely want to do it in MS office because I can make it look neater and nicer with less effort.
Businesses use it because 1) they're used to using it, it's a standard among businesses and the public, and it's maximally compatible with files created by it so interoperability isn't an issue as long as you too use it, 2) it's the best. It has more options than others, it can do more things. It has more depth. It has extensive support and documentation and it has good integration between the different pieces of software.
It's like comparing GIMP to Photoshop. Sorry. I think FOSS is a great philosophy and I hate Microsoft and Adobe as much as anyone but in practice Photoshop is miles and miles beyond GIMP in capabilities. And this is coming from someone who has GIMP installed and not Photoshop (because PS is expensive).
The extended suite of MS office has always been meh. But it doesn't matter. Word, Excel, PowerPoint all work great and are exceptional tools at the top of their class. Could they be better? Yes. But they don't have to be the best possible, they just have to be the best compared to other offerings by a country mile and they are if your needs are any more complex than the occasional letter to grandma.
Does that mean I think people should pay for MS Office? Not when there are ways to get it free with no cracking or risk.
the calculator sends diagnostic data.
People can just use a different timer, use a batch script or task scheduler. I once even made a multiplatform timer for my tea myself in Java that can go to the systray.
My point is: By making it annoying, they just drive them away to the many alternatives and gain nothing. It seems like some mistake idk.

Galectin-9 and Artemin may serve as Long COVID biomarkers
ELI12 TLDR: Decent accuracy was found ~80% when using these to differentiate between people with Long COVID versus people who had recovered. People with Long COVID tend to have high Artemin which is linked to nerve cell communication problems and the elevated levels found may provide a clue into the cognitive problems many of these patients have. High Galectin-9 levels (which were also found here) are often associated with immune issues such as overactivation, which seems to fit well with all the immune abnormalities we see in these patients.
Abstract:
This study aimed to assess plasma galectin-9 (Gal-9) and artemin (ARTN) concentrations as potential biomarkers to differentiate individuals with Long COVID (LC) patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) from SARS-CoV-2 recovered (R) and healthy controls (HCs). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis determined a cut-off value of plasma Gal-9 and ARTN to differentiate LC patients from the R group and HCs in two independent cohorts. Positive correlations were observed between elevated plasma Gal-9 levels and inflammatory markers (e.g. SAA and IP-10), as well as sCD14 and I-FABP in LC patients. Gal-9 also exhibited a positive correlation with cognitive failure scores, suggesting its potential role in cognitive impairment in LC patients with ME/CFS. This study highlights plasma Gal-9 and/or ARTN as sensitive screening biomarkers for discriminating LC patients from controls. Notably, the elevation of LPS-binding protein in LC patients, as has been observed in HIV infected individuals, suggests microbial translocation. However, despite elevated Gal-9, we found a significant decline in ARTN levels in the plasma of people living with HIV (PLWH). Our study provides a novel and important role for Gal-9/ARTN in LC pathogenesis.

How start quickly with GnuPG ?
Hi,
I would like to use Gnupg to encrypt, sign... documents.
I've downloaded the Manual, it's quite extensive. So the learning curve is proportional :)
I've tried the GPA GUI, but with it, it seem impossible to generate an ECC key..
So what would be your recommendation to be able to generate ECC keys, be able to encrypt, sign etc.. with or without GUI.
Thanks.
If you use emacs, you can set up gnupg integration for easy encryption and decryption of files.
I would also read up on expiration of keys, and how you can export (backup) and import a key. The latter can also be useful if you want to use the same key on multiple devices.
sops.
TL;DR here.
GnuPGP is bad. It's so bad, it's terrible. Don't use it, it's the worst. You know this GNU? It's bad, terrible.
Use this one instead, it's coded in Rust...
Lol OK.. Thanks I guess...
Don't take it personally.
It's how the guy who wrote the blog sounds like, it's not toward you.
I tend to have a grain of scepticism when someone is declaring high and loud that something widely used us /just the worst/.
Also, it just happens his alternative is just: "use this instead, its made in Rust"
...
These remarks could discourage others from reading a useful and well-written article.
I still use GnuPG on occasion, but I've benefited from incorporatingsops and age into repositories. They're pretty slick.
Terry Gilliam says he doesn't have enough money to make ‘The Carnival at the End of Days'
Terry Gilliam has had such a hard time trying to fund his last few projects that he’s hinted about retirement. However, back in April, fansite Gilliam Dreams reported that the director was set to direct a new, maybe final, film, titled “The Carnival at the End of Days.”This past May, Gilliam claimed he had found funding for ‘Carnival.’ We already know that Johnny Depp will play Satan and that the rest of the cast would be composed of Jeff Bridges, Adam Driver and Jason Momoa. A January 2025 shoot was being eyed. (via Premiere)
No surprise, five months later, Gilliam is now telling Czech media that he doesn’t have the sufficient funds to make ‘Carnival,’ and that he would have to creatively compromise his vision to make it happen (via Novinky).
I don't have all of the money for it right now. I would have to compromise some of my ideas. Which I don't want to. I’m angry with myself for not being able to do it. Which is not always a bad thing. When I get angry, some interesting ideas come out [..] Maybe I’ll start shooting it soon, albeit with a smaller budget....
Here’s Gilliam describing the plot of ‘Carnival’:
This is a simple tale of God wiping out humanity for fucking up his beautiful garden Earth. There’s only one character who’s trying to save humanity and that’s Satan, because without humanity he’s lost his job and he’s an eternal character and so to live without a job is terrible. So he finds some young people and he tries to convince God that these young people are the new Adam and Eve. God still gets to wipe out humanity. It’s a comedy.The last time Gilliam directed a feature was 2018’s “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote,” a film he was trying to make for more than two decades. It came and went without much excitement, although I thought it was his, de facto, best film since the late ‘90s. The lack of commercial success on ‘Don Quixote’ is essentially the reason why Gilliam can’t find funding for his next projects. His films of the last 25 years have been both critical and commercial misfires.

Hårdare straff ger inte minskad brottslighet. Under lång tid har kriminalpolitiken dominerats av upprepade krav på hårdare straff för alla möjliga brott. Lagstiftningen har stadig skärpst hela tiden. Men nån större betydelse för nivån på brottsligheten har det inet haft. I själva verket har det inte haft någon betydelse förutom att det lett till att det blivit allt fler unga mördare och fulla fängelser.
The armed attacks perpetrated by criminal organizations in indigenous communities in Chiapas, Chihuahua and Michoacán are sinister: they invade territories, destroy habitat, forcibly displace families, rape women and girls, disappear and murder community members who resist. Their destructive power pulverizes community life and destroys all the natural resources that the people have preserved for centuries.
The absence and complicity of the authorities is atrocious. They make the facts invisible, trivialize the aggressions and silence the atrocities committed. They do not respond to calls for help or provide protection to the victims. They allow the violence to escalate and the attacked population to seek survival by their own means. They justify the armed incursions as a dispute between organized crime groups. The facts are not investigated, much less are the investigation files prosecuted. Impunity prevails and the criminal structure remains intact.
The gunshots furrow the paths of blood, and the murdered are left lying in the fields as dismal marks of criminal barbarity. Predatory agents continue to encircle indigenous territories. The cacique governments, now allied with criminal groups, remain unscathed with their clientelistic and gangster politics; the political parties dispute municipal presidencies and local deputies with ill-gotten money; the mining businessmen make pacts with organized crime and sow terror to devastate the natural landscape and overexploit the aquifers.
The loggers set up clandestine sawmills, burn the forest to enter the forest reserves, hire hitmen to transfer and sell timber and drugs. Community authorities are subordinated to the interests of organized crime. Their territories are disputed and used as strategic enclaves for crime. The mega-projects imposed by the federal government weaken the autonomous organization of the peoples, fragment the communities, and relegate them as central actors in their own development, commercializing their archaeological legacy and folklorizing the greatness of their culture.
Indigenous regions, being centers of resistance and rebellion, face wars of extermination and counterinsurgency strategies implemented by ethnocidal governments that sow terror. The fierce persecution against the rebels is systematic and they are obstinate in breaking the communal core. They have installed military zones in strategic places. They try to enlist the young men in the army and offer marriage to the girls. They want to truncate at any cost the future of the new indigenous generations that seek to forge a society of equals within their community spaces. The governments in power, through the militarization of their territories, the narcotization of their economy and the proliferation of criminal groups, de facto declare war on the indigenous peoples in order to subjugate them and derail their struggles for autonomy and self-determination.
The old-style integrationist policies and the implementation of new programs for individual benefit deepen government dependence, leaving intact the structures of cacique power; the security apparatus linked to organized crime remains untouched; the vices of a mercantilist and racist justice system persist; the economic exploitation and vassalage of the indigenous people expelled from their ancestral territories by landowners, businessmen, organized crime and government megaprojects is further deepened. The subjugation of community life, which is the hard core of the peoples’ resistance, is cracked by the gunfire of criminal groups that have set themselves up as the armed arms of the government in power.
In the Sierra Tarahumara, organized crime has diversified its illicit activities. For the past decade, illegal logging has been covered up with logging permits. Illegal logging became criminal logging because it was imposed on the ejidos under the armed coercion of criminals. In 2023, organized crime took control of the most important ejidos in the Huachochi Mesa.
The forests of the Sierra Tarahumara are in the hands of criminals. Its forest mass has decreased alarmingly; from 2001 to 2023 it lost 21,800 hectares to fires. The most affected municipalities are Bocoina, Guerrero, Madera, Huachochi, Guadalupe y Calvo, Uruachi and Chinipas. Recently, more than 300 people from the communities of Cinco Llagas, El Cajoncito, El Pie de la Cuesta, Las Casas, Los Placeres, El Silverio and La Trampa in the municipality of Guadalupe y Calvo were displaced by organized crime. They are crowded together in the community of Cinco Llagas, without food and in fear of being attacked by armed groups.
On September 4, in the municipality of Frontera Comalapa, Chiapas, confrontations between organized crime groups intensified. The population is hiding in their homes because of the constant shootings. They have no food and are held hostage by the criminals who prevent them from leaving the community. The criminals went from house to house to forcibly recruit all the young people and minors. Mothers are desperate over the disappearance of their husbands and sons. No authorities intervene to protect them and guarantee a safe exit from their communities.
In the Nahua community of El Coire, municipality of Aquila, Michoacán, from August 13 to 19, several groups of the Jalisco Cartel New Generation (CJNG) attacked the population; they disappeared 7 young people, murdered two, tortured several people and raped women. They looted houses and small businesses. The municipal authorities of Aquila counted 211 displaced persons, 76 of whom are under 12 years of age. In addition to Coire, the communities of Chacalapa, Zilapa, El Diezmo and El Salitre were also attacked by the CJNG groups. Most families fled and found refuge in Aquila and Coahuayana. The authorities have allowed division to flourish and crime to take control of the indigenous communities. The army only made one patrol on the day of the CJNG irruption, to justify the call made by the community. The criminal groups know that patrols by state agents are sporadic and that they will never stay in one place. They have sized up the situation and that is how they can act with total impunity.
The federal authorities have failed to guarantee the security of the indigenous population held hostage by criminal groups. What is unacceptable is the inaction of the security forces in the face of the armed invasions that assault community territories, displace the local population, murder defenseless people, disappear people, rape women and recruit young people and children. The security politics have left the indigenous population defenseless. They have allowed organized crime to subjugate them in order to break their communal nucleus. The indigenous reform that is on the horizon will not help to solve these serious problems, because they are denied the right to control their land and natural assets and their political representation before the legislatures is not recognized.

in reply to sibachian • • •Wider use of plastic pre-dates "wars for oil" and metal and timber are commodities that imperialists want to control just as much. They just have better control over those than they do oil right now.
Capitalism results in just as much human misery with regards wood, metal and glass production as it does plastic. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism because there's no ethical production under capitalism.
