Futurology Today

I inherited an electric one from my FIL. This is very satisfying.

I’m thinking about getting a Retroid Pocket Classic but was wondering whether or not I might be able to use the same SD Card I use for my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. I was hoping I could resume my saves between devices.

Is this is possible?

EDIT: had originally written RP4P. Updated to Retroid Pocket 4 Pro

I've had a problem in several games, and I don't really no where to to being debugging it. It's not like there is any error message. Is it my DE? my distro? drivers? proton? the game engine itself?

I've done some basic web searches, and all of the answers are hyper specific, or "alt-tab just breaks some times".

The actual problem: When I alt-tab, some games will appear to freeze when I tab back in. I've noticed that while I am holding alt-tab and have a non-game window selected, the game is not frozen. As long as have not selected the window I am trying to swap to, it keeps running. It's almost as if the game has inverted it's internal state of whether it's in the foreground are not.

(if it does matter, I am using Gnome on 22.04 PopOS, Nvidia 565 driver, Steam/Proton).

For me it's calculating. Too many people put math into their search engines and not their calculator.

At this point they're actively hostile to all American Institutions that keeps them in check and are also actively hostile to the population itself. Trump's previous Term was comparatively tame and even if he won in 2020 it would've been tamer than this. This is pretty much war being waged against the working class by the rich.

Do these people believe that they'll be able to assert total control of all government institutions by 2028? Or is it some form of fascist self destruction ritual? Because right now even the chuds are having second thoughts about their party.

Caracas (AFP) – Venezuela's attorney general accused Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele of "human trafficking" and suggested he face international justice for accepting cash to jail deportees from the United States.

Over 230 Venezuelans were flown in March to Bukele's notorious CECOT prison, along with around a dozen Salvadorans, under a $6 million deal struck by President Donald Trump's government.

Venezuela reacted furiously to the deportations -- which have also prompted a fierce legal debate in the United States -- and has demanded the men's "unconditional release."

In an interview with AFP in Caracas late Thursday, Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab took aim at Bukele, suggesting he was little better than a people smuggler.

"He is committing the crime of human trafficking," the prosecutor said. "It is a dirty business."

"International justice will be done against Bukele on this issue," said Saab, who along with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been subject to US sanctions for years over allegedly suppressing their country's democratic opposition.

The Trump administration has painted the deported men as dangerous blood-crazed gang members, a claim for which they have provided scant evidence.

Some have been charged in US courts with violent offenses, but many have not.

Family members for several of the men staunchly deny any link to gangs and say their loved ones were scooped up for little more than being Venezuelan, migrants and having tattoos.

Slickly produced footage of their arrival in El Salvador -- including chained and tattooed men having their heads shaved and being frog-marched by masked guards -- was widely promoted by both the Salvadoran and US governments.

US judges have ruled that at least one Salvadoran and one Venezuelan were wrongly deported and should be returned to the United States, orders that Trump and his ally Bukele have so far ignored.

"The Venezuelans who were deprived of their liberty in El Salvador resided in the United States without having previously committed any crime in that country" said Saab "much less in El Salvador."

The White House insists that aside from having gang links, the men were in the United States illegally and are therefore criminals.

I would think that the technology for cryo freezing people would have been newish by 1999, so there probably aren't too many people from before then who woke up in 3000. There may have been a few people who froze and unfroze around the same time, so he may not be THE oldest, but I think that he's the oldest person in the series

This brief article discusses the possibility of near-term human extinction (NTHE) and reviews the scientific evidence supporting the case that NTHE may come to pass.

From the article,

The combined effects of the exponential rise of global heating, paired with the chaotic and uncontrollable momentum of cascading positive feedback loops in the climate caused by crossing irreversible tipping points, are already driving global temperatures to a difference of geological proportions before the end of this decade.

. . .

Just one major event could effectively eradicate the now fatally precarious conditions of human habitat on this planet and swiftly seal our fate into extinction.

The article addresses the following questions / points:

• Is near-term human extinction really possible?

• How soon is “near-term”?

• Is there any scientific research supporting the case for near-term human extinction?

• Where we are — a snapshot

• Sudden events likely to cause human extinction

• Scientists’ final warnings fall on deaf ears

• Final note on science and "certainty"

This is collapse-related because, with the rapidly approaching collapse of industrial civilization (considered by many to be the only realistic scenario we are looking at in the near-future), the possibility for near-term human extinction skyrockets.

We are locked into a trajectory of planetary annihilation and show no signs of slowing.

Further detail in providing an overview of our collective circumstance is continued in the article.
