Urgent Action— Tuesday, 8/12 Trump declared a crime emergency and deployed the National Guard to patrol the streets of Washington D.C. implementing a temporary Juvenile & City Wide Curfew. He has threatened to utilize this plan throughout California with cities like Oakland and any other cities he sees as unsafe. The brutal military & ICE presence in LA along with today’s news about D.C.— this should motivate all of us to speak up. We need to take to the streets NOW while we still can! This is only the beginning of how Trump’s administration plans to attack U.S. citizens & criminalize the homeless population. Join us to to stand with D.C. and against Trump.

Marching from 5 points -> Modesto City Hall -> Show support -> March back to 5 points

Elon Musk's unpredictable chatbot was briefly banned from his social media platform, X, and returned claiming it was silenced for criticizing Israel.

Surely crime hasn't escalated so quickly since 2024 that it requires a government takeover, right?

From December 2002 to April 2005, a pilot was conducted in DG INFSO to evaluate the use of Linux based PC's in the Commission environment, which involved a selected group of users. This group consisted of about 40 persons with a wide diversity of functional profiles (project officer, secretary, financial officer, deputy director general, assistant, etc. …). The scope of the pilot was the testing of the interoperability between the Linux and the Windows environment in terms of electronic file and printer sharing, text processing, spreadsheet, presentation, email / groupware software, other software and support facilities, this specifically in the EC environment.

In co-operation with the Informatics Directorate, a reference configuration was set-up on a number of PC's based on the Linux Operating System and other Open Software products.

Main conclusions are:

• The integration of the Linux based clients in the Windows NT environment did not cause any problems. Integration in the newer NET1 environment (based on the Active Directory) was also successful without major problems. Electronic files and printers both from the Linux environment and the Windows environment could be shared with each other.
• Compatibility tests of the Open Source text processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software were generally satisfactory. Conversion of complex documents showed to be sometimes problematic because of the differences between MS Word and OpenOffice and some problems were encountered with the proprietary fonts of Microsoft. On the other hand, some features were available in OpenOffice that did not exist in the Microsoft Office suite. Further improvements are to be expected now that Microsoft is supporting XML based file formats. Some problems relating to important Commission-specific extensions to MS Word, such as the ones used for the preparation of official notes and legal documents, were identified. A redevelopment of these extensions would be required to solve this issue.
• At the level of the email most of the features are available and no major problems were encountered. However, the shared mail and calendar resources functionality caused several problems at the level of the interoperability with the present Commission email infrastructure. Interoperability tests with the future Commission email infrastructure (foreseen for implementation in 2006) were positive and most of the problems were solved. Some problems relating to specific extensions used within the Commission (Email Archiving System) remained. The question can be raised if a totally new environment based on Open Source at Commission level could be envisaged. Several Open Source solutions are available with functionality comparable to Microsoft's email platform. Initiatives worthwhile mentioning are the development of Kroupware (funded by the German Administration), eGroupWare and OpenGroupware.
• Compatibility tests of Commission-wide applications were negative. Redevelopment of these types of applications as web applications will resolve the problems. The Commission environment would evolve to a more Windows-independent environment, if a strategy could be adopted on these lines. Within the present planning of DG DIGIT it isforeseen that the corporate applications under their responsibility will be redeveloped by 2008. This is already a realisation of a large part of that strategy. However, it is imperative that any web application should be developed in a browser independent way, which should be feasible to do. The browser independence is further emphasised by the commitment of the Commission to implement the first level of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines for the Europa and the Intracomm website.
• The Open Source world has proven to have the ability to adapt to new versions of the Microsoft software / environment. This was demonstrated with the changeover from the NT domain to the NET1 domain and with the changeover from the older versions of Office / Email to the newer versions. Sometimes there was a delay in the development of the adaptation depending on the magnitude of the differences. Also, sometimes certain useful features available in OpenSource world do not exist in the corresponding software in the Microsoft environment.
• The availability of third party software is not completely positive and is greatly depending on the market and profit analysis done by the corresponding software vendor. The question can again be raised if totally new software based on Open Source could not be envisaged. Most of the time Open Source solutions are available with functionality comparable to the original third party software.

In general, the Linux platforms that were tested show a very fair level of usability and compatibility. An environment based on Linux is today technically feasible for limited groups with specific needs. Although there are many other factors that could play a role in the decision in favour of the implementation of an environment based on Linux, the present testing shows that is not possible to implement it at this moment in time on a large scale. Amongst the most blocking factors is the availability of Commission and local applications. The redevelopment of applications would be necessary to solve this problem. In any case, a migration of more than 25000 users is an entirely different project with different objectives, starting with a necessary cost/benefit analysis. The project of a general migration would need to be prepared and planned very carefully, in the hypothesis of a satisfactory OSS platform and a political and technical decision, in order to guarantee minimal disturbance to the users and a similar level of functionality.

Back in the late 80s, this was one of the events we talked about a lot.

That moment seems to be coming again on American soil.

Are you ready?

I finally acquired the last episode of a USA hard-to-find tv show, but it has a Polish voice-over. I can still hear the English audio, but is there a way to remove the voice-over?

-* Study found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children -* Kennedy has long promoted doubts about vaccines' safety, efficacy -* Study was funded by the Danish government and published in July in the Annals of Internal Medicine

Aug 11 (Reuters) - An influential U.S. medical journal is rejecting a call from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to retract a large Danish study that found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children, the journal's editor told Reuters.

Hey guys, I’ve got an issue where it’s driving me absolutely bonkers. I got a fitgirl Sims 4 repack, and it crashes without showing anything in the logs by itself. I install the game using wine, and launch it via Steam using all sorts of proton. Now I’ve downloaded the latest version, and the installer won’t even budge past 0.0%. Questions:

1. Any way to get a detailed log, in order to understand what is going wrong?

2. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hardware: NVIDIA 2060, Ryzen 5600x. I tried it on PopOS first, and then tried it on nobara just in case the issue was because of an old kernel. It didn’t help.

Thank you!
