Bluetooth dongle working without propietary firmware
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/21430107
I'm having trouble to find a bluetooth dongle at least 3.0 that needs no propietary firmware. It's easy to find dongles advertised as linux compatible or users that claim that an specific brand works fine in linux, but the problem is that many of them are using propietary firmware without their users being aware because their distributions have already installed propietary drivers or firmwares, or ask users to install them and they just do it. I use debian main repository (without non-free software) in which I failed to make work a couple of linux compatible advertised dongles because debian ask me to install a propietary firmware. So if anyone knows for certain that some brand that needs no such a software in linux I'll apreciate your help.

US lawmakers pressuring Zelensky to lower mobilization age, Presidential Office advisor says
US lawmakers pressuring Zelensky to lower mobilization age, Presidential Office advisor says
The unnamed U.S. lawmakers have reportedly cited America's experience in the Vietnam War, when men aged 18-26 were drafted to fight, said Presidential Office advisor Serhii Leshchenko.Nate Ostiller (The Kyiv Independent)
So, Zelensky started with turning Ukraine into a mass prison on 24.02.2022.
Then busification (kidnapping people on the streets and murdering them by sending them to the meat grinder) of men aged 27-60 started soon after.
Then, in April 2024, Zelensky's meat grinder was expanded to men aged 25-27.
Now, Zelensky will probably start murdering men aged 18-25 as well (and not just "supported" by the west, not even "encouraged", now it's "pressured").
What line should Zelensky cross for you to admit he is genociding Ukrainians? Should he start kidnapping teenagers as well? Should he start kidnapping women? Or would it be ok as well?.. (btw both kidnapping teenagers and women already happened, it's just that for now "recruitment officers" let them go after they discover their mistake)
And remeber folks, "till the last Ukrainian" is propaganda spread by Russian bots and tankies, it has nothing in common with reality.
Zelensky didn't choose to be invaded. Wtf are you on about
Even assuming that this is true - I didn't say that he did.
What he did choose to do though - was turning country into a mass prison and kidnapping people on the streets and sending them into the meat ginder (so, murdering them).
Ukraine has a draft, which is not great, but isn't kidnapping people off the streets. That's completely disingenuous at best.
Yeah, Zelensky's regime definitely doesn't kidnap people off the streets. There are no masked people hunting people on the streets and putting them into vans without plates. Videos about that happening almost every day, especially so in last week are all fakes and Russian propaganda (even when Ukrainian sources write about it).

The source you linked doesn’t support your claims at all.
Some people got arrested relating to not following the law relating to the draft. Yes, that’s terrifying. It’s still not even remotely close to what you are claiming.
The source you linked doesn’t support your claims at all.
Doesn't support which of my claims? Just scroll to the comments, I've archived videos for you there. People in masks and with rifles, throwing people out of cars in the middle of a road, beating people to the loss of consciousness, student beaten for answering a call from his mother, it's all there.
Unmarked vans? Here, enjoy your participation in genociding Ukrainians!
I can only find reports of Russian soldiers kidnapping people in Ukraine, reports of things that seem clearly like conscription and not kidnapping, and things from sources that aren't credible.
Do you have a credible source that shows that this is a real phenomenon? I can't find one
You can’t find one.

- duckduckgo.com/?q=ukraine+kidn…
- bing.com/search?q=ukraine+kidn…
- search.yahoo.com/search?p=ukra…
.
Are you playing some word game where kidnapping someone for the purposes of conscription does not qualify as kidnapping? What else would they be kidnapped for, a tickle party?
A BBC article is the first result from just searching it. Its a widely talked about fact and if you can't find "anything" you need to actually read the search results.

First result? I couldn't get it as a result at all. I get a bunch of quora threads and articles from really low profile news outlets.
Yeah that is troubling, even if the cause of it is corruption as the second article implies. I understand the draft given the circumstances of the invasion, but sneaking people into vans, beating them, and asking questions later isn't justified at all. Becoming a brutal authoritarian in order to repel the invading forces of another is kinda futile.
Dont even bother with those people.
But what else can I do? :(
It's my family and friends that could be next. I should at least try to persuade people to stop that..
The unnamed U.S. lawmakers
The Kyiv Independent (despite NATO Bias/Fact Check’s opinion) is not a reliable outlet, so I’d take this with a grain of salt. This might be an effort to shift blame away from local government. But that doesn’t really matter, what matters is that the net for the meat grinder will be cast wider.
This might be an effort to shift blame away from local government.
Might be, but I've seen articles (not from ua government) about plans to do this (and US pressure on that matter) long before the government spoke about it, so might be true.
But that doesn’t really matter, what matters is that the net for the meat grinder will be cast wider.
Yep :(
What will probably happen, is that kidnapping age will be reduced to something like 20-21, and it will be presented as a great success of Zelensky the Merciful.

Ibis version 0.1.2
This release contains numerous bug fixes and minor improvements. Thanks to Kalcifer for reporting many of these.
- LaTeX formatting is now supported to handle mathematics (thanks Silver-Sorbet)
- The editor now has a live preview of rendered markdown
- Better layout for edit history
- Fixed user links in edit history
- Edits are now correctly sorted by date
- Removed maximum width for page
- Render markdown titles smaller than page title
- Disable markdown plugins for url shortening and smartquotes
- Resize article edit input based on length
FYI the link requires login because it's for edit mode. Might be good to also have a "What is Ibis?" bit here, instead of requiring people to follow the link.
At any rate, looks neat! Has there been any thought given to what happens if the Conservapedia or similar people want to get onto the network? Is it instance blocking like Lemmy?
China releases the roadmap for the development of space science by 2050!
The Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Space Administration, and the China Manned Space Engineering Office jointly issued China's medium to long term space development plan.
Overall goal:
China will plan and demonstrate the implementation of national space science missions in stages, coordinate and strengthen mission-driven basic research, build a high-level talent team for space science, continuously achieve landmark original results with significant international influence, realize high-quality development of space science, rank among the world's top countries, and become a space science power.
The Five Major Scientific Themes:
- Theme 1: "Extreme Universe".
It mainly explores the origin and evolution of the universe and reveal the physical laws under extreme cosmic conditions. Priority development directions under this theme include: dark matter and extreme universe, origin and evolution of the universe, and detection of cosmic baryonic matter. - Theme 2: "Ripples in Spacetime".
It mainly aims to detect medium and low frequency gravitational waves and primordial gravitational waves, and reveal the nature of gravity and spacetime. The priority development direction under this theme is space gravitational wave detection. - Theme 3: "Sun-Earth Panorama".
It mainly explores the Earth, the Sun and the heliosphere, and reveals the physical processes and laws of the complex system of the Sun and the Earth, and the overall connection between the Sun and the solar system. Priority development directions under this theme include: Earth circulation system, integrated observation of the Earth and the Moon, space weather detection, stereoscopic detection of the Sun, and detection of the outer heliosphere. - Theme 4: "Habitable Planets".
It mainly explores the habitability of solar system bodies and exoplanets, and conducts the search for extraterrestrial life. Priority development directions under this theme include: sustainable development, solar system archaeology, planetary stratification, search for extraterrestrial life, and exoplanet detection. - Theme 5: "Studying Things in Space".
It is mainly to reveal the laws of material movement and life activities under space conditions and deepen the understanding of basic physics such as quantum mechanics and general relativity. The priority development directions under this theme include: microgravity science, quantum mechanics and general relativity, space life science, etc.
The Three Stages:
- In the first phase, by 2027, the Chinese space station will be put into operation, and manned lunar exploration, the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project and the planetary exploration project will be implemented. Five to eight space science satellite missions will be demonstrated and approved, and a number of original results with important international influence will be produced.
- The second phase, from 2028 to 2035, China will continue to operate the Chinese space station, demonstrate the implementation of scientific missions such as manned lunar exploration and the international lunar research station, demonstrate the implementation of about 15 space science satellite missions, and achieve original results that are among the best in the world.
- The third stage, from 2036 to 2050, China will demonstrate the implementation of more than 30 space science missions, and achieve world-leading levels in important areas.

Idk if it's my hearing or what, but this sounds to me like a dogwhistle. Specifically, like they're not saying that the second the election is over that the US is going to notice Israel is doing a warcrimes 100% run and they can either pump the breaks or the faucet turns off.
Like i said, might just be my hearing tho.

First line of the article: The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk
The headline is intentionally making it seem like the US wants Israel itself to provide aid to Gaza, no they're just pretending to ask Israel to please stop preventing other people from trying to provide aid to Gaza.

Well...
- that's how the website displayed the graph when I took that screenshot, I'm pretty sure you can't modify the axis
- I'm not on my computer at the moment, editing is the most I can do right now
- if you can capture the graph with 0 on the Y axis, please post it below and I'll update the picture
I think the observer shows daily and monthly stats for the active users per month and active users per half year so the active users per month wouldn’t change as fast I think.
Indeed, I was remembering it wrong, you might be right!
Also about it being a botfarm I do think that is a possibility. Actually there is much clearer evidence for it when you see extend the graph to 120 days and see a huge uptick in users and servers at the same time. Edit: 2024-7-29
Definitely
Indeed, the plot thickens.
Maybe the farm bot owner decided to make all comments by a single bot now.

in reply to Ademir • • •Hey, thanks for asking! It largely boils down to money, people, and time. I'm currently a full-time student, and struggling to stay afloat.
Here's all the things I currently do:
* Research / Testing (gathering info for stories, tracking down info for sources, testing apps and platforms)
* Writing articles, interviews, guides, and reviews.
* Content Editing pieces submitted by contributors
* Scheduling for Podcast interviews
* A/V Production
* Podcast Distribution
* Music Promotion
* Graphic Design (thumbnails and such)
* WordPress development (features and data)
* Social Media Management (11+ accounts)
* Instance moderation
* Event coverage
* Manage a Contributor Team
* Fundraising
* System Administration
I'm probably missing a few things. It's a lot! And, while I've been able to balance this out for a long time, my severe burnout has seen diminishing returns. I'm at a point where articles are getting finished days and even weeks after something has happened, which... isn't great.
All of this stuff is more or less being done for pennies an hour. It's not sustainable.
