This is just sad
That’s why I said it didn’t really take off until 2010… As in people started to actually trade it for actual goods.

That printer probably supports AirPrint, which Mint supports without any extra tinkering. Connect the printer to your network, and try going through linux mint and adding the printer through the settings. If it doesn’t show up, then you can try using drivers (install using below command) and then re-adding the printer Install by pasting this into your terminal. Enter your password when prompted.

I googled. It’s just a coincidence that the fruit and the fish use the same word. The Spanish name tuna is also used for the fruit of this cactus and for Opuntia in general; according to Alexander von Humboldt, it was a word of Taino origin taken into the Spanish language around 1500. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opuntia_ficus-indica
Mariing kinukundena ng Melito Glor Command-NPA-ST ang lantarang pangingialam ng US sa pagdebelop sa Sangley Point International Airport (SPIA) sa Cavite. Sa tabing na pagpapaunlad para gawing komersyal na international airport, malilinaw ang indikasyong gagamitin itong dagdag pasilidad militar ng US, kasabwat ang Cavite Holdings ng Virata–Yuchengco bilang pangunahing developer nito. Ang SPIA ay isang malakihang masterplan na tinatayang gagastusan ng ₱215.69 bilyong halaga at may kapasidad umanong tumangkilik sa daan-daang milyong pasahero sa pangmatagalang panahon. Popondohan mismo ng US Trade and Development Agency ang pag-aaral sa pagpapaunlad sa Sangley Point na para umano sa komersyal na gamit pero eksklusibo ang byahe sa pagitan lamang ng US at Pilipinas. Binanggit din ng US at ng rehimeng Marcos II na bahagi ito ng pagsisikap para higit na pasiglahin ang Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC). Ang LEC ay idinidirehe ng US kasama ang Japan, papet na rehimeng US-Marcos II at walo pang alyadong bansa ng US para sa maniobrahang pang-ekonomya at militar ng US kontra-China. Malaking pihit ang idudulot nito sa pagtatayo ng imprastruktura, ekonomiya at heyopulitikal ng Timog Katagalugan at ng Metro Manila. Dahil sa lokasyong malapit sa mga pinag-aagawang bahagi ng South China Sea, ang paggamit sa Sangley Point bilang isang aktibong hub ng lohistika at potensyal na military-civilian point ay gagatong sa usaping heyopulitikal ng US at China. Hindi malayong maging katulad ito ng itinatayong paliparan sa Balabac, Palawan na Catagbuan Airport na ipinaketeng pangsibilyan na gamit pero pangunahin ngayong pinagsisilbi sa pangmilitar na pangangailangan ng US; at ang Antonio Bautista Airbase na gumagamit ng runway ng karatig na Puerto Princesa International Airport. Tiyak na gagamitin itong lagakan ng advanced security systems, cargo/logistics capability at malalaking runway na bukas na bukas na gamitin ng US para sa military logistics o joint exercises kung iaatas niya sa sunud-sunurang rehimen. Papalakasin nito ang interoperability sa pagitan ng sundalong US at AFP. Sa ganito, mas madali para sa US na lusutan ang anumang ligalidad o lehislasyon at hadlang sa pagtatayo ng paparaming base militar sa Pilipinas dahil nakakubli ito sa “sibilyang gamit”. Kung lilingunin, historikal ang gamit ng Sangley Point bilang istasyong nabal ng US na itinayo mula pa noong panahon ng pananakop (1898). Nagsilbi ito bilang pasilidad sa komunikasyon at ospital ng mga tropang Amerikano at nag-opereyt hanggang 1971. Ginamit din itong istasyon at daungan ng US Navy patrol squadron forward para sa Vietnam War. Ang pagpapalawak ng Sangley Point bilang international airport ay mangangailangan ng reklamasyon na maaaring magdulot ng malalim na epekto sa marine ecosystems, pangingisda at saribuhay sa Manila Bay. Maaaring palalalin nito ang pagguho ng lupa, magbago ng mga tidal patterns, at magpahina sa likas na depensa laban sa storm surge at pagtaas ng lebel ng dagat. Itutulak din nito ang pwersahang paglipat ng mga residente sa lugar at pagbabago sa kabuhayan ng mga mangingisda. Pinalalabas na ang kinalaman ng US sa Sangley Point ay umiikot lamang sa teknikal na suporta at strategic signaling: tumutulong magpatibay ng proyekto sa pinansyal at operational na aspeto habang nagbubukas ng diskursong heyopulitikal at dual‑use applications. Napakanipis lamang ng linya sa pagitan ng komersyal na imprastruktura tungong militar na pasilidad. At sa pagiging himod-pwet na alipores ng US ni Marcos Jr., isang utos lang ang kailangan para ibigay niya sa US ang kagustuhan nitong itransporma ito para sa ganansyang militar nito anumang oras nito kailanganin. Ang kapalit— magiging lehitimong target ito ng pagsalakay ng sinumang kalaban ng US. Dapat ilantad at labanan ang mga proyekto sa ilalim ng LEC kabilang ang SPIA upang pigilan ang mga imbing pakana ng rehimeng US-Marcos II na kaladkarin sa imperyalistang gera ang Pilipinas kung saan ang mamamayang Pilipino ang pangunahing magdurusa at maaapektuhan ang buhay at kabuhayan. Tuligsain ang pagiging sagadsaring tuta ni Marcos Jr. at ipanawagan ang paglalansag ng mga base militar ng US sa Pilipinas. Anumang presensya ng sundalong Kano at iba pang dayuhan sa Pilipinas na naglulunsad ng military exercises ay pagyurak sa pambansang soberanya at kasarinlan at nagsasapanganib sa kaligtasan at kapayapaan ng sambayanan. Sa patuloy na pag-arangkada ng mga SPIA at mga katulad na proyekto, hamon sa rebolusyonaryong kilusan at sa hanay ng NPA na higit na magpunyagi upang patuloy na magparami at palakasin ang ating hanay para ipagtatanggol ang mamamayang Pilipino at kamtin ang tunay na kalayaan at pambansang kasarinlan.

I completely understand where you’re coming from, especially the whole ‘no body warned me’ thing. The entirety of the human experience in society is built on a neurotypical concept of tribalism, of which networking is an essential facet. If you do not have a close network of individuals you regularly participate in social outings and hang outs with, you will be out of luck at some point no matter how smart you are, no matter how good at a thing you are, no matter if you’re the world’s only expert at something. If you are not actively and constantly creating and maintaining a frankly exhaustively large social network you are screwed. This is exponentially more true the closer you are to the imperial core of capital, wherein hyper-competitive individualism runs things so the natural contradiction of the human psychological need for close connection creates this caricature of tribalism itself presenting in these weird semi-professional networks of trust that are not based on ability or even the potential for self-gain, but purely vibes. Best of luck finding an in to any of the in-groups you’ve missed out on in your under graduate years. It sucks and once you start getting into those groups it just never stops being an extra 10-30 hours of work per week to maintain those connections so you have the right to study or work.

A federal judge may have dealt the final blow to President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion “weaponization fund” on Friday, indefinitely blocking it and ordering his administration to state unequivocally that it’s no longer happening. In the face of bipartisan backlash, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche had publicly backed off plans to use the money earlier this month, and a court temporarily blocked the transfer of the money to what opponents had dubbed a “slush fund” for Trump’s supporters, including January 6 rioters who claim to be victims of government “weaponization” by the Biden administration. But The Atlantic reported on Thursday that even as the US Department of Justice (DOJ) publicly swears that the payouts are dead, administration officials have been reassuring Trump’s cronies behind the scenes that they’ll get their checks and that the administration simply needs to wait for the legal blowback to die down or find an alternative way to award them the money, which was set to follow a DOJ-brokered settlement between Trump and his own Internal Revenue Service (IRS). That may prove more difficult after Friday, however, when US District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema issued a preliminary injunction indefinitely extending her previous two-week pause on the fund. She described the arrangement, to have taxpayer funds disbursed without court rulings to “an extremely small group” that many Americans feel engaged in “unacceptable” conduct, as “problematic.” The DOJ had attempted to have the case against the fund dismissed, arguing that it was now a moot point, since Blanche had publicly declared it dead. But Brinkema said, "The [government’s] mootness argument, in my view, doesn’t go anywhere.” While the DOJ stated that the fund has “not been set up and is now not going forward," Brinkema noted that Blanche had declined to state that under oath, while Trump has publicly continued to champion the fund even as his administration has backed away from it. During the hearing in the Eastern District of Virginia, Brinkema pressed DOJ lawyer Andrew Block on why, if the fund was truly defunct, the administration had not formally rescinded the order setting it up. He said he didn’t know. The judge gave Blanche, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr., and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, whose department would have overseen the fund, one week to sign a “clear, unambiguous” declaration stating under penalty of perjury that the fund is dead, and wrote in the order that they must affirm that it “will not proceed in any manner, or under any name.” She said in order for the lawsuit to be thrown out, the government needed to put it in writing because “we don’t have the kind of absolute certainty that this fund wouldn’t rear its head.” CEO @SkyePerryman and Senior Counsel Pooja Boisture break down our major slush fund win from court. pic.twitter.com/ngneLRsl8R — Democracy Forward (@DemocracyFwd) June 12, 2026 Outside the courtroom, Skye Perryman, the president and CEO of Democracy Forward—the watchdog group that sued the DOJ—celebrated that the court had “put the brakes on Donald Trump’s slush fund.” The group is representing several plaintiffs who say they’d be harmed if the fund were to be enacted. They include a former federal prosecutor fired after leading January 6 cases; the city of New Haven, Connecticut, which has been targeted by the administration over its sanctuary policies; the National Abortion Federation, which says the fund could reward anti-abortion activists convicted of clinic-related offenses; and the watchdog group Common Cause, which argues that the opaque scheme could embolden January 6 defendants. “We were thrilled that the judge understood the significant harm that our clients face as a result of the fund, as well as the American people,” said Democracy Forward senior counsel Pooja Boisture. “We were thrilled that she got it right. She understood that this was not a partisan issue.” It remains unclear whether the order would stop the administration from pursuing other methods for rewarding Trump’s allies. Reuters reported on Friday that his legal allies have discussed dusting off a 1946 law called the Federal Tort Claims Act, which would allow individuals to file administrative claims and lawsuits that could be settled out of court with a lot of flexibility for the government. “The Trump administration cannot be trusted with the public’s money,” said Omar Noureldin, Common Cause’s senior vice president for policy and litigation. "We’ve successfully locked the president’s personal slush fund for now, and we’ll keep the pressure on until it’s shut down for good.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.
Lebanese PM Nawwaf Salam has condemned Iran for Israel’s war of aggression in southern Lebanon, in a deranged interview with the Murdoch Times. Nawaaf claimed that Tehran rejected a supposed ‘ceasefire’ ‘deal’ in Israel’s invasion of Lebanon because: Tehran wanted to say Lebanon is a card in our pocket, that ‘we decide on Lebanon’s behalf … we are the decision-makers’. The one-sided ‘deal‘ involved Israel being free — its usual modus operandi — to continue attacking and seizing territory in southern Lebanon. By contrast, resistance group Hezbollah would have to cease all operations, lay down its arms and leave the territory, giving the invaders free rein. But Israel would supposedly stop bombing Beirut. Instead, Iran has continued to refuse any ceasefire in its own war with Israel and the US that does not include Israel leaving all Lebanese territory and ceasing all aggression against Lebanon. And when Israel bombed Beirut this week, on 8 June 2026, Iran struck Israel in retaliation, having warned the occupiers it would do so. Lebanon’s ‘Vichy’ government Despite Shia Muslims forming the largest group in Lebanon, Lebanon’s so-called ‘National Pact’ mandates that the country’s president must always be a Maronite Christian and its prime minister a Sunni Muslim — while the speaker of parliament is Shia Muslim. Salam’s government is widely considered a ‘Vichy‘ regime collaborating with its occupiers. This collaboration has led to accusations of “high treason” and “servile collaboration” with Israel and its US backers despite Israel’s bombing of Beirut. This has triggered renewed street protests against the regime demanding resistance to Israel’s invasion. Salam clearly isn’t listening, too busy parroting his sponsors’ narrative that absolves Israel of its land theft and murder and blames Iran for daring to resist.

The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant machine to generate profit for corporations. Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders. That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live. It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless. Crosspost from https://news.abolish.capital/post/56355
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/48650874 Once the guardian of the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus, it is now a polarizing force in the party. June 12, 2026, 5:01 a.m. ET When Brad Lander opened his Democratic primary bid for New York’s 10th Congressional District late last year, he made a promise that would once have meant political suicide: He would not do “AIPAC’s bidding” in Washington. Now the June 23 primary is almost here, and AIPAC has been a recurring theme throughout the campaign. A progressive Jew and self-described liberal Zionist, Lander challenged his opponent, the pro-Israel incumbent Dan Goldman, to take a “people’s pledge” to limit money from super PACs. He has sent a steady stream of text and email blasts comparing AIPAC with Wall Street and crypto — a new, unholy trinity of corrupting influences in democratic politics.

Bullshit. The full context of the situation was denied to the jury. Remember, the entire reason we have juries is to allow for jury nullification. That’s literally the only benefit of juries. 12 random untrained people will never be better at deciding objective facts of guilt or innocence than a judge with a law degree and decades on the bench. We have juries as a final check against the kind of criminal corruption that has currently overtaken the UK government. The idea is that you can write whatever ridiculous laws you want, but at the end of the day you need to convince 12 average people that an offense worthy of punishment has been committed. The system is intended as a check against out of control government. Again, this is literally how the system is designed. (Judges will of course lie about this to protect their own power.) The government can write a law proscribing the death penalty for stealing a candy bar. But the jury system, if it works as intended, would prevent anyone from being convicted under that law. The government here deliberately perverted the jury system to avoid jury nullification. They tried them under a minor offense. The jurors probably thought those convicted would get community service or a fine. That’s the rightful and just punishment for such an offense. Any greater a penalty, and jury nullification would have been on the table. Instead, the government secured a conviction under a minor offense but was able to get a sentence on par with a serious felony. For your talk of the system working as intended, you sure are ignoring the government’s complete perversion of the jury system that is the very bedrock of our system of justice.

The instinct you described, using the LLM for the regex because you can verify it immediately, is the right line to hold. The trouble starts when the output isn’t cheap to check, that’s where the judgment you’re worried about losing actually goes. For getting back up to speed I’d lean the other way deliberately, let it explain an error or a library you don’t know, but write the thing you’re trying to relearn by hand, because the parts you type are the parts that stay in your head. Git’s worth the hour even for solo projects, the saved-folder backups stop scaling the moment you want to know what changed between two of them.

Hello there, l’ve downloaded and imported the JSON file. It only imported my subscriptions. But my main account and the posts that l have made isn’t showing up. Going to bed now ! Shall catch up tomorrow !!
I’ve struggled to be musical all my life–took lessons, took college classes, did ear training, etc. I think I finally cracked the code, and it’s surprisingly simple: Learn to play melodies by ear (starts with singing) Learn only enough theory to: know your way around your instrument (scales, arpeggios) understand chords understand song structure Experiment (ie have fun!) The most anal formal exercise I’d recommend is learning to hear relative scale degrees (two very good apps available for that)–though I think that skill would be developed by transcribing (playing by ear), it’s helpful for your confidence level to have graded exercises you can have some success with. But my experience with most of my music teachers is they fall into one of two traps: For classical music, it’s: Learn how to translate written notes into notes on your instrument. Go to 1. For instance: I was taking clarinet lessons and I remember my teacher saying goodbye to his last student–a kid–and the teacher said, “If you bring me the sheet music for it, we can learn to play it.” And I thought what a missed opportunity that was for that girl to learn to hear and transcribe music–obviously not a skill he thought was important to the teacher at all. And I’d understand now wanting to do that for piano, which is really complicated, but learning to play a melody by ear on a single note instrument is a very achievable goal, especially when you have someone that can tell you what key it’s in and what the first note is. The trap for jazz music is: Learn what are the “right” notes to play. Play them in any random order. I used to blame teachers for just being bad at their jobs, but I think students (and maybe parents/administrators) are also to blame. I ran across a senior guy who was trying to get back into piano. He’d played for a few years and it was clear he had no idea of how to be musical–no idea of how to construct a simple bass line, no knowledge of how to define a chord. So I said, “Hey, I’ll work with you even though I don’t play piano, I think you need to learn this song and just play the root and the five in the left hand, and sing the melody while you play, and use a metronome.” What an amazing exercise I thought: it would help teach him timing, develop his ear, develop his feel, let him be expressive with his voice, let him embody the melody, lear to work the bass, etc. Aren’t I brilliant teacher? You know what this guy did? He pulled out his phone to show me some recordings he did of him playing the song the way his music teacher had written it out for him; it was what I expected–just haltingly reading the music with no sense of time. I wasn’t sure, but I think he wanted me to praise him for playing such a complex piece. For him, and maybe for a lot of students (and certainly for parents and administrators), they don’t actually want to master music, they want to impress people. And maybe for the musically disinclined, haltingly playing a complex written piece is more impressive than a 2-note bassline in time with an expressive voiceline sensitive to dynamic; since most people in charge of music education (parents and school administrators) don’t know music, maybe they would promote a teacher who taught the former and fire a teacher who taught the latter… For jazz programs, I think they’ve got a lot of theory they’ve got to cram into the kids heads, and we can learn theory a lot faster than we can develop musically, so if you’re going to be judged on “performance” of your students, you’ll be rewarded for having them be able to pass essentially paper exams set to music more than for having them skillfully play pentatonic blues. I don’t know what the answer is, but for some reason, actually mastering music is very low on the list for both teachers and students. What’s all y’all’s experience with music and music education?
