  • Trump signs executive order renaming Pentagon 'Department of War'

    Jump

  • I have mixed feelings on this one, tbh

    On one hand, that was actually the original name. That changed after WW2 and to be honest I kinda think the name was part of a greater campaign to make it seem as though, somehow, the military actions that followed in the next few decades in the middle east, Asia, Latin America, etc. were actually all just "defending" the US. Which is bullshit.

    On the other hand, having perhaps the most insane president this country has ever seen saying that calling it war instead of defense because its more accurate to the current times is quite concerning to say the least.

  • Hardware monitoring

    Jump

  • btop for sure. Shows current processes and their resources usage, us can terminate and kill them from the program kinda like windoes task manager, shows CPU usage/temp, and ram, storage, and network use. Only big thing it doesnt have that I use is GPU monitoring, I use nvtop for that.

    For stress testing, mprime is def best for CPU stress test. You may know it as prime95 on windows.

  • ‘Russia is targeting us deliberately’: how attacks on maternity hospitals fuelled a birth-rate crisis in Ukraine

    Jump

  • To some people "seeing through western propaganda" means deciding what to believe by whatever the opposite of western forces want

    Hate to break it to you but that's not thinking for yourself, in fact it takes no more self reflection and thought than it would to just blindly believe it all

  • Peter Thiel is delivering 4 private sold-out lectures at a club in San Francisco—about the Antichrist

    Jump

  • his concerns about technology’s potential to enable authoritarian control.

    I don't even know what to say at this point

  • The state of Linux phones in 2025

    Jump

  • Obviously this is subjective, but I use android auto all the time and something similar for a linux phone would be really nice for me. Don't dismiss them just cause you wouldn't use them

  • Boy, 11, shot dead after playing doorbell-ringing prank in Houston, police say

    Jump

  • Or are they so desperate to shoot someone that they just wanna blast some kid and say they feared for their lives?

    It is exactly this. These are deeply violent people who are actively seeking any reason to hide behind the excuse of self defense.

  • Israel hatches plan to kidnap Greta Thunberg into “terrorist-level conditions”

    Jump

  • Sure, but it still seems to be like a simply stupid move on their part. They're gonna turn one of the most influential activists of this generation from an outside observer to an eye witness

  • Israel hatches plan to kidnap Greta Thunberg into “terrorist-level conditions”

    Jump

  • Ah yes, because as everyone knows the best way to stop determined activists from talking about your human rights abuses is to show them first hand your human rights abuses. I'm sure they'll just shut up after that.

  • Proposals for commercial planes to operate with one pilot shelved after critical EU report

    Jump

  • I know a pilot and he mentioned a similar proposal he saw, he thought that the only reason anyone wanted them was so that they would have one less pilot to pay per flight.

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

    Jump

  • Probably. But that might be under the umbrella of optional usage statistics/reporting that you can opt out of. Since this new tracking would be "necessary" for their "security" feature to work, there's no chance that it could be avoided.

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

    Jump

  • Could be, but that could also just be done locally. Like your phone checking the apps you have installed and seeing if the same ones are on the play store. Having an install limit for an app - assuming that means that the app can only be installed some total number of times globally (a local install limit wouldn't make any sense I think) - necessarily implies that when you install an app through an APK, it has to tell Google that you installed that app so it can track how many people have installed it and not approve installation of the app if it's over whatever the limit is.

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

    Jump

  • Something kind of concerning I just found - there's an option for "limited distribution" which is "Intended for 'students, hobbyists, and other personal use.'" One of the differences is the following:

    Has "capped number of apps and installs"(specific limits not disclosed)

    Doesn't this imply there's going to be global tracking of what apps people are installing even through sideloading or APKs? I can't think of any other way to enforce this. They would have to know how many times people installed an app even when its not through any kind of app store or even from the internet at all.

  • Colorado governor cuts spending on Medicaid, higher education and grants to plug $750M hole in state budget

    Jump

  • Huh? In the 2024 colorado election there was a ballot measure to retain excess tax from sports betting and it overwhelmingly passed. Year before there was a similar one for excess tax on tobacco, also passed by a ton. Are you referring to something different?

  • I should have switched years ago! - Linux gaming update

  • Looks to me like they are just censoring any instance of their username, possibly because it contains their real name.

    Edit: also device name

  • MAGA Puts Wikipedia in Its Crosshairs

    Jump

  • This is true, I was referring to english wikipedia.

  • MAGA Puts Wikipedia in Its Crosshairs

    Jump

  • Fyi everyone: you can download the entirety of Wikipedia yourself from kiwix and it's only about 50gb for the whole thing, 100 with all images.

  • Libs on surveillance cameras and ChInA BaD

    Jump

  • In theory thats all well and good, but in practice there is no state which I would trust to decide who does and doesn't get free speech. If the bourgeosie don't get free speech, then the state can silence anyone they disagree with by labeling them as part of the bourgeoisie. And while I certainly wish we could just take freedom of speech from nazis - because they absolutely do not deserve it, you're right about that - in that case the state can silence anyone by labeling them a nazi. Which kinda is happening right now because some will try to silence people who are pro-palestinian by labeling them as anti-semetic and then comparing them to nazis. You also see that with people being labeled as terrorists, or gang affiliated, for example. (Same argument applies to due process, and to a greater extent, but thats not super relevant)

  • Minority Leader Jeffries refuses to endorse NY mayoral candidate Mamdani amid deepening Democratic Party crisis

    Jump

  • Lot of the DNC is too stupid to realize that. They see missing votes from demographics that normally would and assume it means that theyre too left and need to appeal more to centrists.

  • Libs on surveillance cameras and ChInA BaD

  • I know it's not static, thats why I said I would support reunification if the people of Taiwan did. You, however, are refusing to acknowledge your own biases and hypocrisy on this matter.
