I wanted to do a full update, but kept having the error that hyprutils 0.3.something was conflicting with hyprutils-git 0.2.something. So I used pacman to install hyprland and had it remove hyprland-git and all the associated -git versions of stuff like hyprpaper.

Anyway, then I did the -Syu, and rebooted, then logged in, only for the login screen to show up again. Now, whenever I login in, it just loops me back to the login.

I feel super stupid for messing with this stuff, and now I'm probably going to have to just reinstall everything. Thankfully, my dual boot windows was not affected.

If anyone wants to laugh at me, it's ok, I deserve it.

Original Title: Radical-right populists are fueling a misinformation epidemic. Research found these actors rely heavily on falsehoods to exploit cultural fears, undermine democratic norms, and galvanize their base, making them the dominant drivers of today’s misinformation crisis.

Hier die Korrektur, da in der letzten Version das wichtigste Detail fehlte

Are there any recommended best practices?

I'm doing a fresh setup on a new system and want to use this opportunity to organise things better. Previously it was quite a mess 😅

Some loose thoughts:

• I don't really want to use the brand, so I could replace devices
• Not all devices have a fixed place (e.g. the phone), so using the room in the name might not be a nice solution, or I could use "portable" instead for those

I work from home. It has many advantages, but one big disadvantage is you might not notice it’s a holiday and work anyway.

Dare I ask my boss for Tuesday off since I accidentally worked the holiday anyway?

OK, the title is poorly worded. Sorry. What I mean is I’m watching a movie right now. When they’re speaking, I have to turn the volume up,but as soon as there’s any sort of special effect sound I pretty much go deaf because it is so loud. For the record the movie I’m watching is beauty and the beast put out in 2017 with Emma Watson. Speaking I have to set the volume to approximately 45 out of 100 on my home theater. As soon as they start singing, it is so damn loud it’s insane. Why would they do this and how do I fix the problem?

I’m using a Roku for Disney plus and a Denon receiver AVR-E400. I’ve tried going into the settings for Audyssey and strong dynamic volume to medium but that only helps a little bit. Maximum is a possibility, but then the audio doesn’t even sound correct it’s like I don’t know how to explain it, but it sounds strange at that point.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem because the dynamic range that I’m having is insane. I’m glad I live in my own house an apartment otherwise the neighbors would be pissed off at me.

Edit: I have a 5.1 system

I'll note that the US is a net exporter of oil and of methane gas.

Since Americans can't actually burn the additional extraction, this means more exports, and profits for the owners, rather than some kind of public benefit. So Americans reap all the consequent climate damage, but somebody else gets all the benefit.

The latest inequality report from the charity reveals that the world is now on track to have five trillionaires within a decade, a change from last year’s forecast of one trillionaire within 10 years.

The report, entitled Takers Not Makers, comes as many of the world’s political leaders, corporate executives and the super-rich travel to the Swiss ski resort of Davos for the annual World Economic Forum meeting from Monday.

Oxfam’s examination of billionaire assets also coincides with Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president. Trump is expected to include several billionaires in his team of close advisers, including the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive, Elon Musk, and to offer large-scale tax breaks to the wealthiest US citizens.

Summary

A lawsuit filed within minutes of Donald Trump’s swearing-in challenges the legality of Elon Musk’s "department of government efficiency" (Doge), alleging it violates federal transparency rules.

The suit claims Doge functions as a federal advisory committee but lacks balanced representation, public meeting access, and record-keeping.

Doge, which reportedly operates from SpaceX offices and uses encrypted communication, aims to streamline government by cutting programs and jobs.

Critics argue the project is shrouded in secrecy, while supporters label it a branding exercise for Trump’s government reform efforts.

I don't know if it's the right place to ask.
I don't want a Google account. I don't use yt that much but I still need it.
I even tried yt revanced. None of them works

You know it's getting good when mainstream channels are talking about it.

My commentary: An AI that can be trusted with sensitive information remains a tantalizing but unattainable "holy grail".

And a quote I love from the article:

"As long as machine learning and generative AI is being deployed in production systems, we predict a heartwarmingly lucrative job market in AI security."
