Trump’s Craziness on the Fed

"The second quarter GDP report came in roughly in line with expectations. The surge in imports from the first quarter was reversed, which meant that imports were a large positive in the GDP accounts. That led to a 3.0 percent growth rate for the quarter. Averaged with the 0.5 percent decline from the first quarter, More

Elon Musk is now infamous for showing a Nazi-Salute when Donald Trump became the president for the second time. Yet, this is the same Elon Musk, who's cars were disliked by the same people who have a hard on Trump. People who like to burn gasoline. For them an electric-car company is an epitome of wokeness. It was very fu...

Michèle Lavagna, la scienziata italiana che ha creato un prototipo per produrre acqua sulla Luna usando le sue rocce
Ha ideato un processo per estrarre ossigeno dalla regolite lunare: “Con un piccolo impianto, potremmo raccogliere una manciata di sabbia lunare e farne uscire acqua: una condizione essenziale per restare sulla Luna”Eleonora Chioda (Wired Italia)
A small, dark, #nebula looks isolated near the center of this telescopic close-up.
The wedge-shaped cosmic cloudlet lies within a relatively crowded region of #space though.
About 7000 light-years distant and filled with glowing gas and an embedded cluster of young stars, the region is known as M16 or the Eagle Nebula.
Hubble's iconic images of the Eagle Nebula include the famous star-forming Pillars of Creation, towering structures of interstellar gas and dust 4 to 5 light-years long.
But this small dark nebula, known to some as a Bok globule, is a fraction of a light-year across.
The Bok globule stands out in silhouette against the expansive background of M16's diffuse glow.
Found scattered within emission nebulae and #star clusters, Bok globules are small interstellar clouds of cold molecular gas and obscuring dust that also form stars within their dense, collapsing cores.

The Price of Justice: When Liberty Becomes a Bribe
counterpunch.org/2025/08/01/th…
"When prosecutors can offer liberty in exchange for cooperation, justice becomes a commodity — sold to the highest bidder — rather than pursued for truth.

The Israeli occupation committed yet another flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, violently striking several areas spanning the southern region of Lebanon all the way to the Bekaa valley in the east.
Israeli warplanes repeatedly targeted the towns of al-Aaishiyah, al-Mahmoudiya, and al-Jarmaq in the south, while the occupation forces launched flare bombs over the Wazzani area.

Some Linux mint questions.
- How much time do you think it will take the developers to implement Wayland?
- Will something like plank be adapted to cinnamon Wayland?
- Can I make panels in cinnamon floating like KDE or gnome? I didn't find any info on that.

in reply to Verax • • •1) Depends on reliance on X11.
2) Maybe.
3) Probably not.
If you got enough experience to ask this, it might me a good idea to move to a KDE-friendly distro. AFAIK, Linux Mint does not like KDE.

in reply to Verax • • •Cinnamon development is glacial. It works, but the project simply does not have the resources to properly keep up or even triage important fixes.
It's one of the reasons I didn't stick with mint, and tend not recommend it if someone can use something else. When I stopped using it, the setting that was supposed to allow games in fullscreen to display without compositing was borked, costing you frames and latency. It had been that way for years.

in reply to Verax • • •I expect Wayland cinnamon will be good enough to use by next years Ubuntu LTS. And the default in the next LTS after that.
Maybe.
