Futurology Today

I have made a work profile using Shelter. I was copy-pasting some stuff in my personal profile while the work profile was disabled. Later, I discovered everything I had copied was showing up in Samsung Keyboard's clipboard history (in the work profile). Personal profile's Samsung Keyboard was uninstalled via ADB (among some other packages like Google Play Services). What package could be the culprit? (I'd love to just install LineageOS on it but there isn't a built for the device yet. I just don't use it for sensitive stuff.)

No hike; short drive on a somewhat rough (iirc) gravel road

Video of Niagara Springs on Flickr

Part of the 'thousand springs complex' of Idaho nestled between the Snake River Canyon rim and the Snake River, this massive outpouring of water is known as the Niagara of Springs and creates a huge rush of water out of the hillside. In the area you may also find abundant birding opportunities.

Water flows out of the hillside at Niagara Springs, unleashed from a groundwater spring underneath the cliff above.

The governments of Brazil, Italy, Japan, and India are spearheading a new pledge calling for the rapid global expansion of biofuels as a commitment to decarbonizing transportation energy.

An analysis by a clean transport advocacy organization published last month found that, because of the indirect impacts to farming and land use, biofuels are responsible globally for 16 percent more CO2 emissions than the planet-polluting fossil fuels they replace

Schrodinger's Cat Burglar is a puzzle game with a cat that can be in two places at once, and that will no doubt confuse my brain. Not only does it look wonderful, but the developer added a Native Linux version of the game back in October to help improve it on Steam Deck too. They said that the newer Native build runs a lot smoother.

The game actually sounds great. The central quantum mechanic having you split into two cats at the press of a button, with each being controlled to solve puzzles. Seems like it gets a little confusing though as the develop notes the "quantum superstate obeys Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle - when nobody is looking, Mittens could be in either location. If she’s observed however, things get theoretical…".

In the early 1960s, the CCF mounted a campaign against the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, an ardent communist.

At its height, the CCF had offices in 35 countries, employed dozens of personnel, and published over 20 prestigious magazines. It held art exhibitions, owned a news and features service, organized high-profile international conferences, and rewarded musicians and artists with prizes and public performances.[1][3]

A set of patches implementing async I/O IOCB_NOWAIT support for the loop block device is heading to the Linux 6.19 kernel with some performance improvements that will make loop block device users "wow".

Jens Axboe last week queued up the patches into the Linux block subsystem's "for-next" Git branch ahead of the Linux 6.19 merge window in early December

Our latest blog post is aimed at people who 'get it' about online privacy, but who struggle to convince friends and family to take it seriously. We hope it helps!

Following ... Trump’s win [in the US presidential election last year], and amid the first year of the new US administration, members of the European parliament ... have swung towards the sovereignty paradigm with a new fervour, embracing an enforcement-focused legal “simplification” agenda that borders on deregulation, and supporting research for funding and policy proposals that would likely have seemed farfetched even two years ago. Ideas for public service media alternatives include an AI-powered “European News Streaming Platform”. And then there’s the EuroStack, an initiative for investment in Europe-based digital infrastructures.

The news platform is still somewhat speculative, but the EuroStack initiative has gained significant traction in Brussels. The EU commissioner for technological sovereignty, Henna Virkunnen, spoke at a EuroStack event in June. Her speech came a little more than six months after a EuroStack pitch document criticised the bloc’s years of US-focused regulation as a misstep that has likely condemned the EU to a future “as a definitive and irreversible ‘US colony’ in digital infrastructure”. Today, as the European Commission “prepares to simplify digital rules with a new omnibus plan”, it appears that EU politicians’ belief in the optimistic, constitutionalist paradigm has significantly deteriorated, if not collapsed.

But old habits die hard, and the EU has for decades been described as a “regulatory state” that effects change primarily through legal rulemaking. It must now resist slipping back into that comfort zone, and also take care, while simplifying the rules, not to destroy the essence of the regulations it has built. If the EU is to offer a genuinely alternative and rights-conscious vision of the internet, it must cast off idealistic visions of achieving hegemony through law and redirect its energies towards technological creation. Initiatives like the Eurostack and the European News Streaming Platform appear to offer promising places to start.

Canada has yet to officially throw its support behind the International Criminal Court (ICC), an institution it helped create, against targeted sanctions imposed on several prosecutors and judges by the United States earlier this year.

Four key staff of the court — including Canadian judge Kimberly Prost — have been sanctioned by President Donald Trump’s administration because of their involvement in investigations related to alleged war crimes committed by American and Israeli officials.

...

The current wave of sanctions has forced the court to take extraordinary measures, such as paying staff ahead of time and changing email software to openDesk which was developed by the Germany-based Centre for Digital Sovereignty.

Despite these safety measures, the court may not be safe from further punishment. The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC has speculated the U.S. government may impose further sanctions against the entire organization.

This would mean that any American company — including financial institutions — or even Canadian companies with subsidiaries in the U.S. that deal with the court may be subject to penalties and legal action.

...

Not all is lost, however. There are two legal remedies that could be be used to shield the ICC. Canada and the EU could amend key laws designed to protect companies from such actions, which could significantly aid in the operation of the court.

These include the 1985 Foreign Extra-Territorial Measures Act (FEMA) and its subsequent amendments in Canada, and in the EU, legislation known as the Extraterritorial Blocking Statute (EBS).

A FEMA amendment was passed in 1996 in response to the Helms-Burton Act in the U.S. that prohibited companies from trading or conducting business in Cuba.

FEMA shields Canadian businesses affected by the Helms-Burton Act and contains specific provisions to protect companies from retaliatory action by the U.S. Similarly, the EBS was passed in the European Parliament to shield European companies from American sanctions.

...

Canada and the EU could amend both FEMA and the EBS to ensure that Canadian and European companies are shielded from the effects of American sanctions and can continue to provide key services to the court.

LOL Not really, but boy it has been a day. Started at 7:00 am and I finally resolved (?) the issue. In fact I've got through every last bit of my network, and at this point in the evening, I actually don't have a solid reason why the issue was present. Something in my VPN settings glitched, or something got triggered on pFsense and got hung up....something, something with Tailscale. It wasn't CLoudflare this time. LOL

You ever do so much to a problem that when you 'fix' it, you have no real idea what the fix truly was? You ever have a problem and find all the shit you cobbled together in the name of 'just get it running and back online'? I did, and decided that I would fix that shit too. It took all flippin' day.

You guys that do this for a living....I salute you! jebus crispies!

ETA: 8 bells and all's well today.

See title. I also double checked the breaks are working. No picture because its just so dull.

Strike participants, their families, and advocacy groups reported that the leaders and organizers of the strike were punished with solitary confinement, loss of communication privileges, and prison transfers.[4][5][6]

Solitary Confinement

Critics of solitary confinement regard the practice as a form of psychological torture with measurable physiological effects, particularly when the period of confinement is longer than a few weeks or is continued indefinitely.[92][93][94][75]

The United Nations Committee Against Torture cited use of solitary confinement in the United States as excessive and a violation of the Convention Against Torture in 2014.[95]

It followed the little-reported 2016 US Prison Strike
