Ventoy still the FOSS you'd recommend?
I was genuinely excited when I first learnt about the Ventoy from a YouTube, then I came to these:
Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
programming.dev/post/19516543
Ventoy Update
programming.dev/post/20508826
github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issue…
reddit.com/r/Ventoy/comments/1…
so maybe I'll hold off with Ventoy for now?

I don't see evidence in the article that it even is 'their software' being discussed here - just a framework they are suggesting for compositors to have new functionality (regardless of GPU brands).
It even says "They aren't going into this alone but at this year's DisplayNext Hackfest it was also backed up by AMD for going a similar route."
FAFO aside, this couldn’t happen to nicer finance industry ghouls 🔎~🎻~
Edit to add: Dollars to donuts the US government prints money to make them whole.

Birds Practice Singing in Their Sleep
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/20847663
Scientists had previously observed sleeping birds making movements that resembled lip-syncing. In earlier work, Mindlin and his colleagues implanted electrodes in two Zebra Finches; for a recent study in Chaos, they did the same for two Great Kiskadees. This let them record and compare neuron and muscle activity in the sleeping birds.
When awake, Zebra Finches sing a well-regulated line of staccato notes. But their sleeping song movements are fragmented, disjointed and sporadic—“rather like a dream,” Mindlin says. A dozing finch seems to silently practice a few “notes” and then add another, producing a pattern of muscle activity that reminds Mindlin “of learning a musical instrument.”

Nobel winning Hiroshima survivor's Gaza comparison angers Israel
Israel has attacked a prominent survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing over a comparison he made between the blast and the current assault on Gaza.
Toshiyuki Mimaki, a leader of the Nihon Hidankyo organisation that represents survivors of the US attack, compared the two after the group was announced as the recepient of the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
“I thought for sure it would be the people working so hard in Gaza, as we’ve seen," he told reporters in Tokyo after the announcement. In Gaza, bleeding children are being held by their parents. It’s like in Japan 80 years ago.”
In response, Israel's ambassador to Japan attacked the comparison as "outrageous and baseless", and said such comparisons "distort history and dishonor the victims".

They have more in common with Nazis with their Lebensraum settler colonialism and apartheid system full of their riff on concentration camps.
But, fun fact: Western interests, including Israel, sure do seem to conveniently benefit from Daesh attacks on those aligned with Palestine - at opportune moments. I'm just saying.

This is the best, most efficient and most rational economic system ever.
