In Mexico, a 19yo student in a top university was recently sentenced to 5 years of prison for altering photos with AI, mixing pornography with his female classmates. Apparently, he created thousands of AI altered images, including underage students of his school.

Here is the news, it's in Spanish.

Well, I went through a recruitment process for a Ponzi scheme company. It was wild, but the first filter was an interview by some "hot" woman (sorry, I was like 21) so, I guess I was nervous and passed to the next part of the recruitment process. This third part (the first was only a couple of documents) was frankly nauseous for my kind of education, in this phase, a proper brainwash about how unions, worker rights and health insurance are just obstacles between us and real success in life and some other nonsense, happened to a group of applicants clearly infiltrated. At that exact moment I wanted to go home, but somehow I was feeling unsafe surrounded by the staff (people, I guess, already in the Ponzi scheme). They wanted us to come back the next day to sell perfumes for free or to buy them perfumes to sell by ourselves or something. Of course, I didn't come back, but it was traumatizing.

Oh, actually, /u/bobbyfiend, already mentioned the same kind of "business", except this is Mexico. It's not rare to find these "ideas" being deployed in several countries, like Scientology.

A degoogled Android is still the only acceptable path, whether it is Grapheme OS or other projects like Lineage OS or /e/OS; of course, some people will harshly dismiss some of these. I don't know if Sailfish OS is still around, postmarketOS and the different GUIs of Linux phones (Gnome/Plasma Mobile, Phosh, etc.) are great projects, but not quite stable or user-ready, in my opinion.

You scratched the itch, and that's it. I think even I have been tempted too, but Jesus, Android is already so full of Google. Yes, I'm a Lineage OS (no GAPPS) user.

The third from the end to the beginning is quite spectacular showing the effect. I'd put that one first, honestly.

They both bottoms.

Well, you bet me to it, but what can I say? That's my answer, too.

Elden Ring. Still can't finish the original thing, not the DLC. It's great, really, but I don't like the criptic quests and lore (you definitely need a Wiki or guide sometimes). It really doesn't make it more interesting.

Firsr of all, you're right. But the study was done in 2017, it's been almost ten years, particularly for China this is a leap in manufacturing quality. Also, the list is for Top countries, so I understand this is not the whole range from greatest prestige to lowest prestige.

This woman!

"No comment on mafia style intimidation techniques,” the UN expert wrote in a text message. “Busy reminding member states of their obligations to stop and punish genocide. And those who profit from it.”

Well, the POTUS was found guilty in 34 criminal counts. This is not on Trump, the American State allowed him to go on and become president. American presidents are virtually untouchable now, it's been more than 60 years since JFK. If they have the Legislative majority and the SCOTUS favor, they are basically kings. They just need to declare an emergency and almost anything goes.

The only good thing out of this situation is derived from Trump's unskillfulness. There is no way that the outcome of his government will not lead to a multipolar world and the end of the American hegemony.

So, we sheltered this kitten for a few weeks and she easily got a home a day ago after we announced with a poster. We just delivered and we're crushed.

PS: I just couldn't upload an image. Sorry for that too. Just wanted to expel it.

 

In the vet's waiting room there's a warning that roughly says "Don't touch Cristobal, he can be bad sometimes". . . . Cristobal is a common name for guys in Spanish, and the warning doesn't state Cristobal is a cat. It doesn't say "don't pet" either, it just states you shouldn't touch him. My favorite part was that Cristobal can be bad only sometimes.

 

Several days after suffering the DANA consequences in Valencia, the king visit is not appreciated at all.

Years ago, when Owncloud was still the only self hosted cloud solution around, the Music app used to come with an Ampache backend to connect to your music through client apps. My favorite for Android was Power Ampache, it was almost the only one, that and an extension for the really old Just Player. After a while, a Subsonic server was added to the Music app and these Subsonic clients proliferated. So, I switched to a Subsonic client, then another, and another... none was really doing it for me. DSub is great but looks dated and lacks some features, others are not mature enough, and some I just find too barebones.

Recently, Power Ampache 2 was released, and even though it's still in beta or even alpha, it already looks great and my favorite client again. Check it out if you have an Ampache server or a Nextcloud instance with music!

 

So, I was having a hard time trying to update Nobara 38 to Nobara 39. Did the KDE swap, followed the website instructions to upgrade but in the last part, after:

$sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=39 -y

I'd get:

Error: Transaction test error:

file /usr/lib64/libopenh264.so.2.3.1 conflicts between attempted installs of noopenh264-0.1.0~openh264_2.3.1-2.fc39.x86_64 and openh264-2.3.1-2.fc39.x86_64

Tried several solutions to this without success but noticed it's just that two packages in the upgrade are trying to write the same file. My solution was to just disable the openh264 Cisco repo for the upgrade with:

$sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled fedora-cisco-openh264

You can do this also in the Diskover preferences.

After disabling the Cisco repo you can proceed with:

$sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=39 -y

$sudo system-upgrade reboot

Then, after a successful upgrade, go to Diskover > Preferences and enable (check) the fedora_cisco_openh264 repo. Finally, do perform a system update with Nobara update tool. Install whatever it tells you it's missing and then you are done.

Figured I'd share this here since the threads in Reddit don't show any clear fix to the problem. Hope someone can use it.

You guys seem to think my boy is all cute when he is angry, but he's some kind of monster of the week from the X-Files when he's scolding at my face! Here is proof.

 

So, Rulfo (aka Chochi) had been following me all over the house meowing loudly at me for like half an hour. I sat on the table, he followed me of course. Sat right next to me and continued meowing at my face. This is he, an instant before one of his reprimands.

 

I didn't want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I'm right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did something to stop this madness.

Are you doing something about this? Are you feeling unsettled? How do you feel about all this mess?

EDIT: So, buying Chinese stuff takes the USS Gerald Ford to Gaza’s coast. Also, TIL that that chocolate my cousin gave me when she was 20 and I was 5, (delicious stuff!) made me a slavist-ish. The fact remains, this genocide is being paid and supported by taxpayers money; of course, I was hoping that most of us didn’t pay taxes wishing for this. Thank you all for your responses, some of them were hard to swallow.
