Polaroids of Trump and Epstein with young women are fake. Here's the proof
The images circulated online as House Oversight Democrats continued to release photos, videos and emails from the Epstein estate.

Pensando aqui em criar um grupo para troca de cartas escritas à mão e/ou cartões (que também podem ser feitos à mão, já imaginou que incrível?) e enviadas pelos correios...
Acabei de lembrar que eu participava de um site para troca de cartões postais... só não lembro o nome agora...
My KDE Neon won't suspend automatically...what's blocking power management?
So...As I installed KDE Neon recently, it worked and autosuspended perfectly after 15min, which is what's set on Power Management settings. However, I've noticed after installing and configuring all the rest of the apps, it's no longer the case. I mean, it DOES suspend if I manually click the Suspend in the start menu, or if I hit the suspend key from my keyboard. But it won't do it on its own.
I initially suspected SMPlayer, which in the Ubuntu 24.04 repos has a long standing issue about this (will suspend when playback stopped, but not when paused). But after installing the newest flatpak...and even with SMPlayer closed, it's still not suspending. What else could be blocking Power Management from suspending my PC? How can I troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

I had a bug similar to this for years. I tried multiple distros, DEs, hdmi cables, display port cables, etc etc. I didn't want suspend, but I really need screen blanking. I finally had a revelation deep in some forum somewhere that mentioned some feature on my monitor. I forget what it was exactly, but it was an 'auto' something that prevented the computer itself from doing anything.
Odd, but possible.

Is that also why there's no one willing to negotiate with labor?

![The black and white photograph depicts a young man standing at the side of an old-fashioned bicycle, closely examining its front wheel. He appears focused on his task, possibly assessing or repairing the mechanism with a sense of concentration. The background features a chalkboard filled with scribbles that suggest this setting might be used for teaching mechanical principles related to bicycles.
The image is part of a collection by Lewis Hine, an early 20th-century American photographer known for documenting child laborers in textile factories and other industrial settings during the Progressive Era. This specific photograph captures one such moment from his work on social reform issues, highlighting education as a means to uplift working-class individuals.
The bicycle's design is indicative of late Victorian or Edwardian-era technology, with its large spoked wheels and exposed gears reflecting advancements in cycling mechanics at that time. The man’s attire—a dark suit jacket, waistcoat, and trousers—corresponds to the fashion norms for men during this period.
This photograph serves as a historical record, demonstrating how early labor education programs introduced young people to mechanical skills related to their industrial surroundings.

I used to worry about pika that could only live in alpine environment above 8000 ft then found a group in the Sierra Mountains living at 5000' so pika also can adapt.
I sure hope we do deal with climate change because if it does goes exponential, we won't survive (our crops won't adapt). The fact that gov/businesses don't recognize we are in the 6th extinction event is so frustrating 😡
