@FreakyFwoof I have all of the requirements for sensor readout installed, but my asus machine claims to have no fan readouts
That's Asus's fault because they use proprietary bs. My Asus laptop is exactly the same unfortunately.
I don't understand it. If I were a billionaire living in another country, I wouldn't want the stress of medling. Why do I care wat happens in another country when I'll never spend all the money I have as it is. At the very worst, I would just want to keep myself to myself and enjoy life, chill out. Why does the answer to the question "what do you give the man who has everything?" seem to be "More misery for others?"
text description please... "screenshot of The Observer front page: The man who bought BritainChristopher Harborne funded the Brexit party, put £5m in the pocket of Nigel Farage and bankrolled Reform to become a national party. He is a crypto billionaire who lives in Thailand.

Can you imagine how antisemitic you have to be to argue that settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide are core values shared by all Jews? And yet that’s exactly what Israel and Zionists do when they willfully conflate being a Zionist with being a Jew.

And until mainstream politics stops chasing its own tail of a few select policies driven by even fewer people in control of the narrative it will make no difference. It can be shown again and again how corrupt they all are but no one seems to care any more. We need more people to see the green alternatives and for the public to understand there is a better way.
Správa o dobrých životných podmienkach psov a mačiek
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.
🇪🇺 Európsky parlament schválil historicky prvé celoplošné pravidlá pre blaho psov a mačiek. Cieľom tohto nariadenia je zjednotiť doteraz roztrieštené štandardy naprieč členskými štátmi a zaviesť prísny právny rámec pre chovné stanice, predajne a útulky, čím sa zvýši celková úroveň starostlivosti v celej EÚ.
📍 Zásadnou zmenou bude povinné čipovanie a registrácia zvierat v prepojených databázach. Tento krok je kľúčovou zbraňou v boji proti nelegálnemu obchodu so zvieratami, ktorého hodnota sa odhaduje na 1,3 miliardy eur ročne. Spotrebiteľ si tak bude môcť pred kúpou jednoducho overiť pôvod svojho domáceho miláčika.
❌ Nové nariadenie striktne zakazuje chov, ktorý zvieratám spôsobuje utrpenie. Stopku dostane kríženie divých a domácich druhov, príbuzenské rozmnožovanie aj úmyselný chov plemien s extrémnymi znakmi (napr. brachycefalické plemená s plochým ňucháčom), ktoré im bránia v prirodzenom pohybe či dýchaní.
🏠 Povinnosti chovateľov sa budú odvíjať od veľkosti ich prevádzky. Kým pre malochovateľov s jedným či dvoma vrhmi ročne platia základné pravidlá kŕmenia a ustajnenia, zariadenia s piatimi a viacerými vrhmi budú podliehať prísnemu schvaľovaciemu procesu a ich zoznam bude verejne dostupný pre lepšiu kontrolu.
🐈 Bežných majiteľov zvierat, ktorí s nimi neobchodujú, sa tieto zmeny dotknú len v oblasti povinného čipovania. Komisia má teraz čas do júla 2030, aby v špeciálnom akte presne definovala, ktoré konkrétne telesné znaky plemien budú od tohto momentu považované za zakázané extrémy.

good job, even if it just turned out to be a self oscillating filter being modulated by an LFO.
One of the ways it does that is by having a (very nice) library where (accredited parliamentary assistants (APAs) of) MEPs can go to lookup information or research topics.
If that sounds super old-school, keep in mind that the EP predates the internet, that members or not elected based on their tech-savviness, and that not everything is available online.
Another way the EP supports MEPs is through EPRS, its research service.
It's a bit like a library that does the work for you.
2/n
EPRS employs 'specialists' -- I am quoting the term because it's used as jargon, but it's indeed people with expertise in various areas -- who will publish materials that typically provide a summary on some topic that is essentially what you would expect to get when an MEP says "I haven't been following this closely, give me the gist".
Case in point, the publication in question here is a "At a glance" publication. It is only 2 pages long because it is a summary. 3/n

This evening has had a sad surprise for me.
Now, I am calling for #openSUSE to revert the recently imposed project-wide ban on young people:
@srslypascal No. We teach young people to co-design the rules in our community in a way they can voluntarily accept them.
#Bbclaurak tries to pin Tice down about a #Reform Sunderland Councillor who has said "They should melt Nigerians down to fill potholes "
But he pivots to try and talk about Antisemitism "That's what ppl are really concerned about."
But I want to talk about your party
"I am sick of the smearing and the sneering," he replies
"Richard Tice, it's not a smear"
"We look at all these things but the British public have said they want Nigel to be the next Prime Minister"
#bbclaurak asks Tice about the £5milion given to him by Harborne
Tice "This was a personal gift"
A few days ago #Farage said the money was given to him to hire bodyguards
LK reminds him that before he became an MP, he did declare smaller gifts, like a trip to Belgium
Tice is stuffed here
She goes on
"Are you sure it has all been spent on security? Are there any other incidents that have not been declared?
Tice then adopts a populist, facist defence.
"You keep on trying to smear us but the voters have looked at and they agreed with us against the establishment media saying they want more Reform"
"Parliament has found 17 occasions where Nigel Farage has not followed the rules amounting to £380,000. This is not a smear. The question here is that Nigel Farage seems to have a habit of not following the rules very carefully when it comes to money"
He can not answer this
And does not answer this

They should have started on this path a long while back, of publicly questioning Reform's backers and their motivations. It seems to have been left until they start having major success, which makes it look like sour grapes.

I just got some new mics from the sound professionals. They're mounted in these little alligator clips with stems that go through the top of the windscreens. However, one has been mounted backwards, so I need to turn it around to reorient it. I've got a sided friend coming over later today to help me do this. If anyone understands the layout of these clips and has any tips for gently removing the windscreen and reorienting the microphone please let me know. I'm afraid of ripping the windscreens and ruining them. They're not the big fuzzy ones, they're just the normal foam windscreens.

For virtualizing windows on the Mac, would you recommend Parallels, VMware fusion, or something else? Please tell me your choice and the reasons for it.
Hi. I would recommend parallels. It goes out and installs windows for you and it's easy to update. I used it for a year and I found it was OK. I am coming around to the opinion, though, that it's much easier to have two separate machines. This is because I got extremely frustrated having to approve anything I plugged in even if it had been plugged in before. Then I had to make sure to find drivers that worked with some hardware I had. If I just use a Windows machine, I don't have to worry about any of that and I keep two separate ecosystems. I'm probably a bit jaded, but I would say that someone would really have to sell me on the fact that you need to use a Mac to run windows. Just buy a Windows machine that is powerful enough to do what you need to do and things are a lot more tidy that way. Just my opinion at the end of the day.
Probably none now I have a windows machine. I've tried fusion I think it was and it was extremely off-putting having to put up with the couple seconds delay when pressing a key. If I hadn't have got a windows laptop I could put up with this, but it was just a timesaver if I took my mac to dad's to use as 2 machines, so yes, I could also make do.

that must be horrible.

Volverá a ganar por mayoría en Madrid. Ganará por víctima, los de fuera de Madrid no la entenderemos nunca. 😅
Y luego cantarle el himno de la comunidad de Madrid:

La Comunidad de Madrid nació queriendo ser moderna: la bandera del mejor diseñador y el himno del filósofo ácrata
El recientemente fallecido Cruz Novillo recibió en 1983 el encargo de imaginar la bandera regional junto con el literato Santiago Amón. La enseña coincide en el tiempo con la composición del poco conocido himno de la autonomía.Luis de la Cruz (Somos Madrid - elDiario.es)
a lo que acabo de rt: con el anumerismo de la población general esas explicaciones no sirven para nada. Encima hemos estrujado (para mal) tanto la estadística que ahora el personal no la entiende y cualquier porcentaje, por pequeño que sea, les parece inmenso. La estadística a nuestro cerebro no le parece de sentido común y no la entiende
Para vuestra información. El hantavirus variedad andina tiene una tasa de reproducción extraordinariamente baja.
La capacidad de dispersión de una epidemia suele medirse según su factor básico de reproducción o valor R₀. Representa al promedio de personas que una persona enferma puede contagiar.
Algunos de los virus más conocidos tienen R₀ elevados. Los sars 2 (los causantes de la COVID) tienen un R₀ que varía, según la variante, entre el 2,5 (la cepa original) y por encima de 8 (variante ómicron). Las gripes se mueven entre el 1,5 y el 2,8. Otros virus son mucho más exagerados; la varicela tiene un R₀que fácilmente supera el 10, y el sarampión puede superar un 15 (es una burrada).
El hantavirus andino (única variedad conocida que permite el contagio entre humanos sin vector roedor) tiene en torno a 1,2, con escenarios que pueden bajar hasta el 0,6. Es una situación favorable. Significa que es raro que una persona enferma llegue a contagiar a más de una persona.
Específicamente en un R₀=1,2 la probabilidad de no contagiar a nadie es un 30%, contagiar a uno es un 36%; a dos es 22%, a tres es menos de un 9% y a cuatro o más apenas es un 3%.
Con un R₀=0,6 esas probabilidades cambian. Un 55% de no contagiar a nadie. Un 33% a una persona. Un 10% a dos. Y apenas un 2% para tres o más.
Esos números hacen que la transmisión sea muy improbable y que, sin su vector natural (el roedor que actúa como reservorio) el comportamiento epidémico sea muy limitado, y en ocasiones incluso se autolimite hasta extinguirse.
Tengo una pregunta desde el desconocimiento . ¿ Cuál es el mapa de contagios en roedores ? ¿ Existe peligro en un sistema tan globalizado y sabiendo las características de estos animales de qué se expanda en los roedores ? Gracias
@antoniopajarito Los hantavirus son patogenos altamente específicos. La variedad andina es endémica de un roedor sudamericano, un ratón llamado Oligoryzomys longicaudatus. Aunque se han documentado casos de otros roedores portadores del virus (especies cercanas del mismo género Oligoryzomys, y algunas otras de los géneros Loxodontomys o Albothryx principalmente) no se ha demostrado que estas otras especies puedan actuar como reservorio del virus.
No hay documentado ni el contagio ni la infección a otras especies de roedores, incluyendo ratas, ratones ni cricétidos (hamsters). Espero haberte ayudado. getmona.app/rich_text/81132597…
Chat GPT a sacado un 10 sobre 10 en la mierda de curso nuevo que todos los años nos hacen perder tiempo 🤣
recuerdo una cagada tremenda de la plataforma donde si sacabas el html del enlace, aparecía al final la palabra true o false. XD.
@quetzatl Bueno, me gustaría que algún entendido en auditar paginas le echara un vistacito a dicha aula virtual.
Es un escandalo.
Y esto echo por quien esta echo. Así nos pinta.
lo del true y false lo corrigieron porqe acabaron por encontrarlo, pero sí, la plataforma dejaba bastante que desear
@quetzatl No, mejor que la dejen como está. Por lo menos los próximos dos años. 😉 Por cierto, los vídeos sobre el reciclaje parecen hechos con IA, por lo menos las voces son evidentemente sintéticas. Cosa más cutre.
I don't know who needs to read this, but: there's value in doing things slowly, in your own way. Trying to maximise efficiency in your life is a fools errand, and will just hurt you. Take the longer route with the nicer scenery. Write that email by hand instead of asking a bot to do it. Spend some time to read and not just skim. Take your time and cook a nice meal for yourself. Pursue little hobbies, even if you're not good at them. Don't compare yourself to others, don't focus on improving. Just enjoy every activity for itself. Don't let the world convince you that you always have to be optimising yourself. Just be sub-optimal and happy!
well I do understand part of the motivation in the sense of what it's like to feel like you have a gun to your head from a system saying "you're on the borderline right now, and if you don't perform, nothing you've done up til now counts and you're outta here"
@megadec yes, i should add that none of my post should be interpreted as a criticism of those who deal with this mindset. The fault is not for those who over-strive, but with the world that convinces them they have to.

A couple of very interesting articles about AI in China, from the viewpoint of the labour making it possible. Please give them a read, they're surprising in interesting and not obvious ways; neither sunshine and roses nor the usual grind and exploitation stuff.

This quotation is particularly illuminating:
The pattern is an old one. When an industry is struggling uphill and needs labor that is patient, meticulous, and cheap, women’s endurance becomes indispensable. When that same industry rises, consolidates, and seeks prestige, women suddenly reappear as burden, flaw, residue — as disposable material, used and then cast aside.
fíjate, allá donde aparece o desaparece un buen sueldo lo hace también el trabajo femenino. Al principio de la informática la mujer era mayoritaria, en cuanto los sueldos empezaron a crecer la mujer empezó a desaparecer de allí. En la medicina está pasando absolutamente lo contrario, según se feminiza la profesión sus condiciones laborales descienden
