I like the UI of Aurora (purple teal logo). I don't remember why, but I paid for Pro. I also have alerts on my phone from the site aurora-alerts.uk/ There's of course the NOAA website but the UI isn't as smooth or I just don't know what I'm doing. Aurora has a nice prediction map that's updated every few minutes. Aurora-alerts/Glendale has good alerts when it detects storm bursts. On 10/10, it alerted me ~20 minutes prior to each of the 3 bursts.
Honorable mention to Aurora Notifier (black green logo). It's map isn't as helpful as Aurora, but it incorporates usergsubmitted settings by location. When Europe has a ton of green dots, I know the activity is at least producing aurora

The article goes in a direction I like: plurality and to allow different communities to develop alongside each other is great. However, I still think we should push for establishing universal human rights. I'm not a fan of moral realitivism. I think every community should be able to get onto the Fediverse, but we don't need to applaud every community to do so, and can also take actions against communities that do bad things (e.g. by defederating).
I would recommend "The Dawn of Everything" by David Graber and David Wengrow, which shows how humans managed to live in different forms of community already throughout history. Maybe in the Fediverse, this could become more easy on the internet, too.

AMD Linux Graphics Driver To Switch To More Aggressive Power Heuristics By Default
A change queued up last week by AMDGPU driver maintainer Alex Deucher will now default to the fullscreen 3D workload profile for discrete GPUs. AMD APUs with integrated graphics will continue to use the default "bootup" power profile but discrete graphics cards will be running in the "fullscreen 3D" power profile by default.

It looks like for the upcoming Linux 6.13 kernel cycle there could be a nice performance boost for AMD Radeon discrete graphics cards with the AMDGPU kernel driver poised to set more aggressive power heuristics by default.www.phoronix.com

We need widespread adoption and innovation in OPEN ARCHITECTURES like RISC-V. Anything else is just citizens and companies being used as pawns to do the dirty work for rivaling nation states that spy on and stifle the liberties of their own citizens.
The US government has most likely hidden a back door in Intel chips and China has most likely hidden a back door into ARM, ESP8266, ESP32, and other chipsets. No one can ever prove this conclusively without violating NDA’s because these are closed architectures.

Given the measurable power output, I'd think not, but who's to say what it does when connected to stable power node after X hours.
The CSAC also accused Intel of embedding a backdoor “in almost all” of its CPUs since 2008Hmmm They couldn't be referring to the extensively researched, reverse-engineered, and years-documented Intel Management Engine, could they?
CSAC is only just now coming across this information? Better late than never, I guess.
Edit: Having now finished the article, yes they are.
I don't understand what you mean. I'm suggesting that China could be making a big deal of old news now that they are offering a viable alternative to Intel chips. Possibly to drum up more business globally, or to have an excuse to ban Intel chips domestically.
It could also be to make that threat in the face of increasing trade war escalation from the United States, as a sort of "watch what you're doing" warning.

[Request For Comments] Can you recommend any groups/books/papers/blogs/keywords/etc on the topic of UN reform and global constitutionalism?
Wasn't quite sure where to ask the question in the title, or if this is even the right question to ask, but figured a Solarpunk community would be most likely to have the answers I'm looking for...
My reasoning is we are facing some global problems here, you know with all the climate change and whatnot; So we need global solutions for them; Therefore the obvious solution seems to be the United Nations 2.0, or League of Nations 3.0 if you will. Basically a global constitutional assembly, hopefully before it all devolves into total war again this time, or worse.
So I want to read up on what thought or maybe even activism there is out there specifically in this regard. Anything to read, recent or historic, you can recommend?
Any thoughts you want to share? Why can or can't this work? Am I being to naive here? Explain it Like I am 5 please!
I have no suggestions of groups, books, papers, blogs and etc regardin global constitutionalism, but I have an opinion.
Creating bigger and stronger governments will only lead to the protection of an elite that is way too irresponsible with their powers.
Right now the vibe is against oil, gas and pollutants and in favor of sustainability mostly globally. It’s genuinely very hard to find someone that says: “I don’t care about microplastics, “I have no issue with air pollutants causing cancer” and “I don’t care we are trashing the ocean”.
And this is sort of where solarpunk fits extremely well in. I don’t know if governments and corporations will solve the climate crisis, but goddamn I’ll do my part and help businesses and others do their part too.
The necessary change must come from the grassroots. Never before in history have those in power taken the initiative and done what was necessary. It is up to us to make it happen.
Radically boycotting the overconsumption and inspiring change is a powerful tool. Not to say that putting pressure on lawmakers isn’t important too, but what greater pressure than if millions of people peacefully stop supporting the madness?

There is something else entirely to be said for how quickly one can progress from the disbelief of a particular diagnosis as anything beyond a punchline to descanting over the marvels of modern medicine as they relate to futher study of the mechanisms. If nothing else, it's a great reminder of how much information is available to us on a whim.

You basically have to stay at the same residence and at the same school for their entire education. Even just moving within the district and they use it as an excuse to "put you on a wait list".
Add in the shortage of drivers (who wants that job) and any excuse they can use to change boundaries or cut a route.

I’ll tell you this as a doctor. I would stay the hell away from some of my colleagues. Not every doctor is anywhere near good at their jobs. Some don’t care, some barely passed and don’t want to learn anything new, some like to always assume their patients have psychological problems.

in reply to Corkyskog • • •It is honestly necessary sometimes. My daughter was eventually taken out of school by us entirely and put in a (public) online school because of how severely she was being bullied, but before that, we had to take her to school because she could handle getting on the bus with all the kids being horrible to her every morning and afternoon.
For a while, she was allowed to listen to an mp3 player with earbuds, but then they started just shouting over the earbuds. And bus drivers barely give a shit considering how low they're paid.
So yeah, sometimes people drive their kids to school for a reason.

In fact, if it stops misting and the fog lifts this afternoon, I will be out with a dog doing some grouse hunting chasing after supper. I don't quit because of limitations. Quitting brings on death much faster. And I've seen that enough during my many years as a medic.
I hate the changes that COVID has forced upon me. But I acknowledge it's existence and I'm fighting it as hard as I can.

Dropping a link and calling it information when you don't understand the content or haven't read it is not productive.
