    too bad - that you leached on your senior collaborators who did ALL and every intellectual part of the project - all for your credit; you are what I call an instagram scientist - too bad for science that such people who do any third-rate cheating act for publicity - like Katie Bouman exists @JosephDT

    Seems like somebody is unhappy with her being chosen

    What? Less than a month ago the government said there weren't enough cells and they were looking into moving inmates to Estonia because they were already having to delay jail sentences.

    State Secretary Coenradie wants to explore in the short term whether hundreds of prisoners can be accommodated in Estonia from 2026. Officials from the ministry have already been to Estonia. The Estonians are positive about the plan. The prison in Tartu would be the most suitable, say insiders.

    I can see this being useful if executed well and if it just looks for specific settings. I often can't find certain settings and google what the name is (first Android phone). I think it has potential when used as a sort of smart fuzzy finder.

    They are well aware that it won't work. But they'll try regardless so they can blame Brussel when it fails.

    They're also currently trying to pass a law to bypass the parlement so they can pass any law they want without having to get a majority vote by declaring a state of emergency (supposedly caused by immigration). This won't pass either, but it does allow them to blame others for their unfulfilled promises, resulting from years of making unrealistic claims.

    We have state funded news where I live and I feel like it's keeping the other commercial news channels in check in term of tone. It's obviously not without biases but it's a lot better than the situation in the US in my opinion.

    That said the current coalition wants to cut funding to it because of the unfavourable coverage.

    According to the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, almost half of all corporate money contributed to this year's US election campaigns has come from crypto backers and politicians are bending to their will with promises to reduce regulation and consumer protections. I expected the superPAC's would mostly fund Republicans, but most of the money seems to be going towards Democrats. Another interesting development: > PAC backed candidates were big winners. According to the data, out of 42 primary races where crypto-backed super PACs intervened, their preferred candidate won 86% of the time.

    I've been having issues with my PC not waking from sleep, the fan keeps spinning, but the screen stays black, and it won't respond. I could just keep it on all the time, but it uses a lot of electricity, so I prefer not to. So far I've tried: - Using Wayland / X11 - Secure boot off/on - Installing the latest BIOS update - Waking with keyboard presses, mouse movement, power button Some more information: - Sleeps works fine on Windows. - I'm using an AMD CPU & GPU - I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and I'm fully up-to-date (version 20240919). - I'm using kernel 6.10.9-1-default (64-bit) - I have a swap partition with the same size as my memory
