This doesn't change anything. Since AMLO the Mexico itself has acted as the US southern border and worked to prevent caravans from making it to the US.
This is just Sheinbaum mystifying the position of Mexico

🤩 Woo I didn't know nix. It seem a better way to handle package !!!
but so if I have already apt that handle my packages, is it compatible to use both on the same system !?
Nix stores all packages in isolation from each other; as a result there are no /bin, /sbin, /lib or /usr directories and all packages are kept in /nix/store instead.
--fetchonly switch for Portage which will download (but not install) everything required for a specified package including dependencies, so you can copy all of the files to an external drive at once.

Pinochet/Chung-hee hours. The second coming of Trump marks the end of the fig leaf of neoliberal decorum.
Edit to add: Actually it was already dead before that, thanks to the imperial core’s support of the Gaza genocide. The only people left who believe in the liberal “rules-based” international order’s legitimacy are Western liberals who keep themselves sealed in the MB/FC-approved media bubble[1].
What open source star gazing apps do you recommend?
Preferably Android apps available through F-Droid, but feel free to recommend iOS apps, too!
On iOS, I really like Sky Guide—I don't think it's open source, but it has the right features for the casual star gazer like myself, specifically the ability to point my phone at an object (i.e., "what's that object up there") and/or search by name ("where's Jupiter right now"). After my transition to Android, I've found Sky Map, which has good feature parity with Sky Guide.
Any other open source apps like Sky Map that I haven't found yet?

No biggie, but reading the ToS in the app, it states that the app will send anonymous usage data to Google. I've disabled its network access (possible on GrapheneOS), and it works anyway. On this topic, the description in F-Droid reads:
Do I need an internet connection?
No, but some functions (like entering your location manually) won't work without one. You'll have to use the GPS or enter a latitude and longitude instead.
Unfortunately it won't run without Google Play Services.
SOLVED as pointed out by @antipiratgruppen@lemmy.dbzer0.com THX!
Attempting actually.
(Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS 2024120200 and Skymap 1.10.04 from github via Obtainium)
I installed 1.10.4 RC1 from the F-Droid repo (mine is just .4, not .04).
Maybe they did something in their build to remove Google and make it work without it? You could try that one.
It's off by default, it seems, in version 1.10.4 RC1 from F-Droid. At least, I went to toggle it off, but it was already done.
Note, I tried rejecting the ToS st the first run, which just closed the app. So... I accepted them at the second run... Though, I don't know if that in any way really could have affected the setting.
"entering location manually" worked without GPS for me.
netGuard blocks all new apps by default for me and i get a notification if they try to access the internet. Sky Map doesn't have any listed attempts (no gms on my phone either)
i go to timeanddate.com/astronomy/nigh… which is not really an app and it can be a bit wonky at times but it works better than every mobile app i've seen.
the desktop version of stellarium is the only worthwhile open source program i know about.

Fuck nebula. They just know how to corpo speak to execs who dont know what's good for their infrastructure.
I had to go to YouTube to see an example of their interface and it looks terrible. A bunch of whitespace and animations. I can't imagine their CLI will be any better.

in reply to davel • • •Photos of the protest show they're pretty large, especially for a country with such a low total population. Maybe people just want to be free?
edit: Photos actually remind me of the cease fire protests in Israel now that I think about it. Also a lower population country with a large contingent of upset people in it.
