I’ve always wanted one of these. Friend of mine traded it to me for my never-gonna-use 1,000W inverter, and also gave me a new battery for my car!

Summary

Donald Trump’s administration cut major counter-terrorism research programs across agencies, sparking warnings from experts that the move will weaken U.S. defenses against far-right violence.

Cuts include $30m for academic studies, DHS funding for the University of Maryland’s terrorism and hate crime database, and the DOJ’s radicalization research.

Experts say this erases years of progress, undermines Trump’s pledges to fight antisemitism, and shifts focus away from the primary domestic threat: far-right extremism.

The FBI has also redirected resources toward gangs and leftist groups, raising safety concerns among researchers.

Getting 30-40 fps on a modern system. It's using ~30% of all CPUs but little to no GPU (although nvtop says it is using vram). It feels like it must be doing software rendering or something.. Tried both linux native and proton versions. Does anyone here have any idea how to make it perform better?

Edit: It just started working fine on the linux version.

SOLVED - "Allow screen tearing" was ON and caused this issue.

I have some constant stuttering on my current setup. Every 4-5 seconds, almost like a hiccup, I drop about 100 ms worth of frames.

This has been persistent through several GPU driver updates and I'm tired of trying to troubleshoot it. I don't know what the exact cause is. Any ideas?

Also, related note, how easy is it to migrate from one distro to another? I am thinking about trying something else - maybe base Fedora or Arch - to hopefully have better performance.

A French court has found far-right leader Marine Le Pen guilty of misusing EU funds to pay staff from her National Rally party between 2004 and 2016 and followed up the verdict on Monday with a sentence barring her from running for office immediately, possibly dashing her political ambitions of standing in the next presidential race.

A massive thanks to @LuanRT for providing the fix regarding to the extraction of the deciphering functions. Also, big thanks to @PikachuEXE for coming up with a potential alternative solution!

Considering all the lethal obstacles Palestinian journalists must contend with to do their jobs—not to mention the psychological toll of having to report genocide day in and day out while essentially serving as moving targets for the Israelis—it seems the least their international media colleagues might do is acknowledge them in death. Alas, mum’s the word.

And on that note, it’s worth recalling some of Shabat’s own words: “All we need is for you not to leave us alone, screaming until our voices go hoarse, with no one to hear us.”

Sydney (AFP) – Whole herds of cattle have drowned in vast inland floods sweeping across the Australian outback, officials said Tuesday, as the muddy tide drenched an area the size of France.

Swollen rivers burst their banks after unusually heavy downpours last week over outback Queensland, an arid region home to some of the country's largest cattle ranches.

Officials said more than 100,000 livestock -- cattle, sheep, goats and horses -- had been swept away, were missing, or had drowned.

"These are only early indications of the magnitude of this disaster and while these preliminary numbers are shocking, we are expecting them to continue to climb as flood waters recede," said state agriculture minister Tony Perrett.

"It's heartbreaking to consider what western Queenslanders will be going through over the weeks and months as they discover the full extent of losses and damage -- and start the long slog to start again."

Researchers have repeatedly warned that climate change amplifies the risk of natural disasters such as bushfires, floods and cyclones.

Flood waters stretched some 500,000 square kilometres (190,000 square miles) across sparsely populated western Queensland, Perrett said, a landmass roughly equivalent to France.

Industry body AgForce told local media some cattle ranches may have lost almost 100 percent of their herd.

The government Bureau of Meteorology said some towns had recorded as much as 500 millimetres (20 inches) of rain in the space of a week -- their typical yearly total.

"Unfortunately, more rainfall is on the way," forecaster Dean Narramore said.

"The reason why we are so concerned about that is because we have numerous flood warnings current for much of Queensland."

The state's primary industries department said some 4,000 kilometres (2,500 miles) of road had been flooded -- a distance greater than the famed Route 66 connecting Chicago to Los Angeles.
