Norway Keeps Promise to End International Finance for Fossil Fuels, Boosting Hopes of OECD Deal Tomorrow


The Norwegian government today published its policy to align its financing with the Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP, sometimes called the Glasgow Statement), fulfilling a promise it made a year ago to end the use of Norwegian government finance to fund fossil fuel projects abroad.

What about inside? Afaik fossil fuels are over 20% of entire Norway economy and make over 60% of their exports.

There's a reason they never made a second bug's life.

Iran's Leader: What happened in Syria plotted by US, Israel


in reply to geneva_convenience

Right… that’s why the US was caught completely off guard and the main leader of the resistance has a strong anti-US, anti-Israel, anti-Iran, pro-Saud background.


Introducing BootSelector, GUI utility to set grub default boot entry


BootSelector is a tiny GUI utility for setting any grub menu entry as default.

It also allows you to reboot into any OS/kernel in your grub menu.

The initial version has been tested on the latest Ubuntu 24.10 and should work on other Debian-based distributions as well.

An RPM for fedora will be released soon after more testing is done.

With the Reboot Into Selected, will this modify the next boot only without changing the default?
in reply to Railison

Yes, it only reboots into the selected entry ONCE without changing the default one.
in reply to mfat

does it use efibootmgr? if so,how is it handled on BIOS systems?
in reply to ReversalHatchery

No. It just reads and parses the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg and updates /etc/default/grub
in reply to mfat

Grub was legacy since gummiboot. Please let's let it die.

Insert inst.sdboot as an option in the Fedora installer to rid yourself from grub on Fedora. Websearch for further instructions/how-to.

What the U.S. Media is Not Saying About Syria


in reply to itsoctober

it's wild that we're suddenly okay with al-qaeda somehow and it's telling that they're justifying it with equal rights for women.

With Trump's Re-Election, a Venezuela Invasion Could Be On the Cards


in reply to NightOwl

Could the recent "Venezuelan gangs" psyop be manufacturing consent for this?
in reply to NightOwl

Daddy Putin will not let us invade Venezuela. He is our defacto leader now.

don't like this


in reply to NightOwl

That’s great news! They’re actually willing to make concessions!
in reply to Em Adespoton

I mean joking aside, that's what this means yes. It's a common negotiation tactic. It's like the businessman who comes into a meeting saying he's never had to sell so the price is going to be very high.

But yes, this also matches up with the joke that whatever Russia says, believe the opposite. Except in this particular case it's literally part of the art of negotiations. Not the Trump book.

in reply to Em Adespoton

The Holy hand grenade skit and the French guy skit were all about negotiations and concessions.

It's not 3 and definitely not 6

and the French sent gifts from their kitchen which was quite generous of them

What's the Russia equivalent of trebuchet'ing a kitchen sink?

in reply to NightOwl

From the Russians POV, there really isn't anyone on the other side of the table.

All the Russians need to do is say, Trump get your own house in order 1st.

So this conflict isn't ever going to come out with a gift wrapped bow on it.

Really the question is, how long is the media going to wait for that tied ribbon to arrive?

Is it like fusion energy, always only 20 years away?

How about making it mandatory to insure all employees including CEOs in the same insurance company but a group of paying customers decide what is getting paid and what not 😉
in reply to abcd

What about legislating that insurance companies must be non-profits

If they can't take a profit they need to spend their premiums. If the premiums are too high they need to be generous, if razor tight they need to be fair, too low they'd be sued out of existence

I’m sure he paid a bunch of money. He also paid to be on Rick and Morty.
in reply to ayyy

He was on Rick and Morty? That's unfortunate

I guess sit makes sense tho he probably thinks of himself as Rick Sanchez

Speaking to legislators at the National Assembly, Shin said the incident took place in a bathroom. When a corrections officer opened the bathroom door, Kim gave up on the attempt, Shin added.


Did he try to hang himself on the toilet?

It's the board of directors and the shareholders that push enshittification. CEOs are just the ones listening to their orders.
in reply to dance_ninja

That didn’t work at Nuremberg, either, and it’s not so uncommon for the CEO to be on the board.

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

My point is CEOs aren't the only ones deserving of criticism. The shareholders are the bigger issue because they create the environment that pushes awful business practices in the name of a quarterly return.
in reply to dance_ninja

Shareholders is the general public. If your neighbor owns one share, how much of a fair game are they?
in reply to molave

Yeah that theory doesn't hold in practice. These are the folks that pressure Fortune 500 companies with hostile takeovers if they don't do stock buy backs. The general public doesn't pull that crap.
in reply to dance_ninja

Hey, let's not discredit the amazing work that Brian Thompson accomplished as CEO! Before his joining UnitedHealthCare in 2022, their denial rate was 8%. Then, only one short year later, he managed to successfully drive that denial rate up to almost 28%! As the UnitedHealthCare conglomerate served some 122 million Americans that year, you can easily discern that Brian Thompson was directly responsible for ensuring that ~24 million Americans had their claims denied. Imagine how much less UHC would have made for their investors if they had to pay an addition 24 million American's health care claims!

So before giving all the credit to the board members and share holders, let's take a moment to understand exactly how hard Brian Thompson worked to ensure some ~24 million Americans went without doctor-approved medical support that they previously were entitled to.

All this data is publically available on Wikipedia, by the way.

Just billionaires/millionaires?

If it's a matter of culling parasites, everyone down to about middle-manager level should be included IMHO.
