[Windows] bluetuith-shim-windows: A shim and command-line tool to use Bluetooth Classic features on Windows.
Hello Lemmy,
This is an extension of the bluetuith TUI Bluetooth Manager project, which was initially developed for Linux, and is now being ported to Windows as well. This will allow the TUI to manage Bluetooth on Windows. Note that this is just a shim, the TUI will be ported to adapt with this shim later.
This tool offers a simple command-line interface and a socket-based interface (as an interprocess communication layer) to control Bluetooth Classic based functions, like:
- Getting adapter information, performing device discovery, setting power states
- Getting device information, pairing/unpairing a device
- Connection to a device using various Bluetooth profiles
- The supported profiles are A2DP, MAP, PBAP and OPP
- Each connectable profile appears as a subcommand of the connect command
- Every subcommand has multiple functions. View the documentation for more information.
This is currently alpha stage, so do expect bugs. Any bugs can be reported in the issue tracker.
I hope you enjoy this release, and any constructive feedback is appreciated.

US-backed, Kenya-manned police mission in Haiti is struggling
"Another armed foreign intervention in Haiti will not result in the necessary Haitian-led transition to a democratic government, rather it risks further destabilizing the country, endangering more innocent people, and entrenching the current, illegitimate regime," several members of Congress wrote in a December open letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.Manpower and lack of planning are not the only challenges. A long history of American meddling and propping up corrupt regimes in Haiti's politics also casts an ominous shadow of doubt over the Biden administration's claims that its strategy even aligns with Haitian interests.
Haiti's 2010-2011 presidential election looms particularly large. After interfering in the election on his behalf in November 2010, the U.S. imposed sanctions on former president Michel Martelly this August for charges related to drug-trafficking, with one American official citing the role he and other figures have played in "perpetuating the ongoing crisis in Haiti."

sounds great.
I'm going to stick with `thread` and `root`.
They're already namespaced, and these are clear terms for these concepts.
Thanks for the help with additional use cases on forking and grafting. I'm going to add some explicit user stories to the FEP and show how each one can be handled.
Amazon AWS CEO: Quit if you don't want to return to office
One of Amazon's (AMZN.O) top executives defended the new, controversial 5-day-per-week in-office policy on Thursday, saying those who do not support it can leave for another company.
Speaking at an all-hands meeting for AWS, unit CEO Matt Garman said nine out of 10 workers he has spoken with support the new policy, which takes effect in January, according to a transcript reviewed by Reuters.
Those who do not wish to work for Amazon in-office five days per week can quit, he suggested.

You'd have to pay KSA double their oil money to take Palestine.
Probably better luck convincing Egypt or Iraq to take if we're actually gonna go down this utterly stupid route.
Also Hamas doesn't even have proper C&C. On top of the reality thay this isn't a videogame, practically nothing will change.
Yesterday i was listening to someone on yt that there was a leaked document that seems to indicate Saudi's have been involved in this conflict for a while now. I think the guest who was talking about this was "sami hamdi".
This just gives more credibility to that document.

I'll probably get downvoted for saying this, but as a transhumanist the potential for this kind of technology is huge.
It's expensive now, but 20 years ago it cost $2.7 billion to sequence a full human genome, now it's around $600. Imagine a world where this process is inexpensive and easily available.
