Biden and Trump made big mistakes on Iran, Democratic congressman says byteseu.com/580601/ #Conflicts #Iran


I don't believe it, but in the off chance it turns out the US government has been reverse engineering crashed UFOs I'm gonna be pissed.

I'm a reverse engineer who used to work for the US government! if they're taking apart alien warp drives to see how they work, I WANT TO HELP.

@tsturm And then it turns out the Florb are just reselling warp engines they bought off AliExpress

@jalefkowit But when asked, the seller - a 80 year old farmer in western Sichuan province - is just selling old new stock found boxed up in a spaceship that crashed in the Himalayas thousands of years ago.


I just rediscovered the root disk of my first ever #Linux install, more than thirty years ago.

This feels like an extremely important point in my personal story.



KDE - Dolphin - UX

Ich habe mal die Werkzeugleiste für Dolphin (KDE Dateimanager) etwas anders und wie ich denke praktischer angeordnet.

1. Vor allem die Hoch, Zurück, Vor Buttons sind wesentlich praktischer, über dem Dateifenster, angeordnet, so dass längere Mausbewegungen vermieden werden und der Blick, beim vertikal hoch Wandern direkt fündig wird.

2. Gerade für AnfängerInnen ist der "Seitenleisten anzeigen" Knopf ganz links recht praktisch, um schnell zwischen verschieden Ansichten und Informationen umzuschalten.

3. Das Einschalten der versteckten (Punkt) Dateien ist auch prominent mit dem Augensymbol vorhanden. Erleichtert den Zugriff (eingeschaltet) oder aber auch die Übersicht (ausgeschaltet).

4. Und der Aktualisierungsknopf, mit den im Kreis angeordneten Pfeilen, ist hier und da auch sehr hilfreich, wenn die Aktualisierung gerade auf entfernten Dateisystemen nicht automatisch passiert.

I finally figured out how to deploy my flask app from one of my servers, but should I? What are the risks?

Mind you that all the data in there is public and the server has nothing of interest (just my silly side projects) and it is on a separate network.

Still, should I do it or should I host it elsewhere?

Handling #HECV/ #H265 #video files under #linux is pain in the ass.

Had to convert them to #H264 to be able to handle them appropriatly. That took ages not only because of the fact that this is a lot of encoding but also because the tool (#handbrake gui) I used crashed plenty of time. Using HandBrake-CLI seems to work much better and stable.

Saudi Islam critic, fan of AfD and Elon Musk: Disturbing details about the perpetrator of Magdeburg The driver who caused the death of the Magdeburg victim – Taleb Jawad Al Abdulmohsen, came to Germany in 2006. But he is not an Islamist – on the contrary. He accused Germany of Islamizing Europe. byteseu.com/580599/ #Europe

US “extends our deepest condolences to the people of Germany grieving the terrible attack at a Christmas market yesterday in Magdeburg, Germany. No community—and no family—should have to endure such a despicable and dark event, especially just days before a holiday of joy and peace.” - President Biden whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/s…

Meanwhile it's perfectly ok to kill thousands of refugees with high-tech weapons supplied by USA.

@RL_Dane it's a play on the title of a book about how scummy health insurance companies make money:

One could consider "depose" to be a probable follow-up to the first three events/behaviours.



The more I evaluate the shots I took of that hawk last week, the more I think this is clearly a hawk with some military training.




@primatologyxyz Hi! I came across Gazzetta in my news alerts and it looked useful; I am always here for news aggregation. I checked your Web site for a blog post or similar announcement but didn't see one. I know you have a press kit, but do you have something that doesn't require downloading a zip file and reading a PDF? Thank you!

99% sure @stefan has seen this already but just in case....

I did not, and while this seems iOS-only (I'm an Android user), it looks really nice! Thank you for tagging me!

Hm in einem bewaffneten Konflikt wären sie wohl unterlegen, kann mir jedenfalls nicht vorstellen dass die "Rebellen" (einfach schön diese Star Wars Assoziation) eine Autonomieregion akzeptieren werden. IS und al Qaida (und etwaige HTS und al Nusra Ableger) haben tatsächlich auch unterschiedliche Beweggründe (tagesschau.de/ausland/asien/ta…)

Interview: Tim Snyder: “Do Not Obey in Advance”: How Corporate America Is Bending to Trump

"It’s textbook anticipatory obedience" - the most monied are the ones setting "the example by yielding to power first."

Eg, ABC News settles a Trump defamation case by donating $15 million.

And tech leaders have also cozied up, with major donations to Trump.

Snyder is an expert on how authoritarianism works.

Yeah, agree, god save us from all bleating know-nothings... god forbid analysis & all such useless shit. Let loud-mouthing reign. Which ignoramuses said awareness is the first step in resistance? Idiots!

Your sarcasm is pointless. What good is 'expertise' if it can't be productively applied at the critical moment it's needed? These endless navel gazing academic ego masturbations are worse than the loudmouths. At least most folks know better than to take the loudmouth seriously. But these pointless 'experts'? Oh, they will listen to these useless fucks drone on for hours, days, weeks, years. You can waste a lifetime, in fact. Many have. Don't waste your precious time on talking heads.
