Follow up of my post from earlier this month in case someone needs in the future:

Got myself a Pi5, flashed KonstaKANG's AOSP 16 fork, and installed the "universal" APK of Grayjay.

Tested some 10 or so videos, and so far, been working pretty much the same as on phone, including third party plugins.

Only exception I observed is that it's stuck in landscape mode, and I expect (yet to test) that it stays like that until I use some program to force the screen to rotate.

This question comes from watching the TV right now, and they're talking about Bruce Willis. I feel bad for him, I really do..

Bruce Willis apparently has what they call Frontotemporal Dementia. That's a tounge twister mouthful for most average people, I can only assume Mr. Willis probably can't even remember the name of his own condition..

Why isn't there a 'patient-friendly' easy to remember name for disorders that literally affect a person's brain and memory?

Like shit, I bet most people wouldn't know what polytetrafluoroethylene is, but they gave everyone a simple name to know it by, teflon.

So, why don't they have simpler terms for brain disorders so the suffering patient might be able to talk to their own doctor privately..?

Hi

When I setup a cron job like this crontab -e

*/1 * * * * echo $A_VARIABLE > /home/user/Desktop/test.txt

no problem, the file is created whether the variable exist or not.

BUT doing

*/1 * * * * cd /Path/To/Script && Script.sh

#The Script.sh
echo $A_VARIABLE > /home/user/Desktop/test.txt

Do not generate the file ! and The CRON log give me

(CRON) info (No MTA installed, discaring ouput)

and yes, the  Script.sh has the execution bit.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

The US’s top public health agency was plunged into chaos on Wednesday after the Trump administration moved to oust its leader Susan Monarez, sworn in less than a month ago, as her lawyers said she would not resign and that she was being “targeted” for her pro-science stance.

Monarez, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was ousted on Wednesday evening, according to a statement from Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that offered no explanation its decision.

“Susan Monarez is no longer director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people,” HHS said in an unsigned statement posted to social media.

Monarez, who was confirmed by the Senate just last month, appeared to have afoul of Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, after she declined to support sweeping changes to US vaccine policies, according to reporting from the Washington Post and the New York Times.

Israeli forces raided a former air defence base in southern Syria on Wednesday during a series of airstrikes in the area – their farthermost such operation inside Syria since Bashar al-Assad was ousted last December.

The site, near the city of al-Kiswah, about 6 miles (10km) south of Damascus, was a strategic base for Iranian militias during Assad’s rule.

Syrian state media reported that the Israeli military had carried out strikes in the same area a day earlier, killing six Syrian troops who had found Israeli listening and spying devices there. The troops were in the process of dismantling the devices when they were killed, state media said.

Pretty sure this is Connect related because I can access the same communities directly from a browser. For a few random communities, if I click the community name itself or even select the community from my list of subs, it doesn't take me to the page. It just shows me the name, that I'm joined, and the number of posts. I can view individual posts from the community if I go there from my feed.

We are having our annual Japan Fest on Vashon Island the weekend after next, and as a part of the festival there is going to be a JDM car show and 80s city pop soundscape. I thought it would be fun to create a word bingo card to hand out during the event. These are the results. I figured I could share it here, so you can have fun as well. Enjoy.

To play you just listen to some city pop and every time you hear a word on your bingo card, mark it until you have a bingo.

Also, these may not be the final version, so if you have feedback, I am open to it.

PEAK is my current favourite online co-op game to play with a good little crew, and now it fits a lot better on Steam Deck too thanks to updates.

The blue dragons, which pack a ferocious sting, have led to several beach closures. Experts say it’s a worrying sign of the warming of the Mediterranean.

The key theme in this year’s report is that far too many households in Atlantic Canada are struggling to make ends meet – their real earnings do not match the minimum living wage needed to pay basic expenses.

Williams continues, “Of course, employers need to take note of what is going on – their struggles to find workers are directly tied to the fact that people simply cannot afford to live on low wages. Employers need to recognize this reality, and governments need to act. The Living Wage Report offers a clear set of policy recommendations for governments that want to tackle the most important economic challenge in the region.”

MacNeil further states, “Recent labour disputes reflect this struggle: the Cape Breton Island Building Trades’ recent strike, faculty and precarious academic workers at Dalhousie, and flight attendants at Air Canada. Many of these situations are about workers trying to catch up from the early years of the COVID pandemic, when they made concessions and sacrifices at the bargaining table during tough times for their employers. Workers are having to go on picket lines to get what should already be theirs: decent wages that keep food on the table, rent paid, and the lights kept on.”
