I always use check.torproject.org. If I’m not on Tor, it gives me my IP, if I am on Tor it verifies that. Good for both.

Oh yeah? Does she understand this: “Good girl!”?

(Of couse she does, look at her)

And all theoretical physiscists are pulling their hair thinking, “why wasn’t the Higgs like 4 times as big or fucking something”

While they are good for all the reasons stated in the article, “included in the rent” means electricity prices is a driving force for rent increases. Rent in Sweden is increasing very fast, much faster than salaries or economic growth. The government and their lobby organizations also want to move away from the current system where rents are negotiated with a renter organization, to “free” rents. Today landlords demand 9.4% increase, but are granted “only” 4.8%, and this protection will probably be gone soon.

I have changed these in Europe, so yeah, not limited to the US.

Swedish television also said Swedish officers were sent too – possibly among other nations – under the official guise of a training exercise. This to force Sweden to become involved in the conflict if it were to take place.

Ok. What exactly is not working with the network? Are you on wired or wireless? If you do run ip a, does your interfaces show up?

Another thing to look at is journalctl -b. Look for errors, lines in red, anything about the network. If you can roll back to a functioning boot (or run journalctl -b -1 should show the previous boot) and compare to that is probably a good idea, journald (displayed by that command) may contain errors that are not relevant, so comparing to a functioning boot may be good.

Also, depending on how old your computer it, there may be another hdmi output which uses the GPU integrated to your CPU. If that is the case, you could switch to it if the nvidia card stops working just to troubleshoot, take a look at journalctl -b and look for errors again. If the screen just goes black, and does not boot, this may also give you some messages as to why the nvidia graphics is not coming up.

To the menu to the left, there is one item called “secure boot”, and sometimes “fast boot” is there. However, if your computer is booting at all, I’m not sure this is it. But try it, it will not hurt.

GTX 580? Maybe you have to install an older driver, like the 470-series of the driver appears to support it: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ Ubuntu has a bunch of older series of nvidia driver you can install for this purpose.

That would not explain your networking though. Unless that is also some older hardware too… But, a common thing to do as a new user in linux may be to find posts which answer “how do I install x in ubuntu” and they usually involve editing files under /etc/apt/sources.d/. This can wreck your system in this kind of way, so: have you done that? Or this is pure ubuntu, just regular apt update/upgrade and some apt installs?

Look at his “hands”

Lot of talk about data, deregulation, and ai. I think more trade involves selling welfare records of various kinds to tech companies.

Why does the title of the source imoly the opposite, that they are looking to lower the dependency on cloud services.

But that is not the title of the article, and the omni summary appears correct. Very strange

So hard to know if a company is European… But I have four pairs of Pierre Cardin jeans, and will buy two more. By far the comfiest jeans I have ever had. I have to buy sizes for the German market as the Swedish sizes don’t fit well, but those are great.

Very much so. Just the other week or so their party leader had a – probably completely made up – “dream” he spoke openly about, in which he was chased by some insanely racist caricature of a muslim. The reaction was just “haha, quirky”, from basically everyone. That racism is so open and accepted now.

The far-right party here has a youtube channel, and they make videos about how every single person with two foreign born parents do not belong, as well as half of everyone with a single foreign born parent. They are a party started by neo-nazis and an actual SS nazi. The current government is working with them to establish these policies. One of the ministers have an active neo-nazi son, and that is simply accepted. It is horrific what these monsters are doing.

And I think youtube is possible thanks to ffmpeg. Alphabet is a search engine, if even that, without open source.

Ah, yes, the famous absense of economic growth from open source projects! We all know about the open source failures such as linux which checks notes… powers virtually every data center and super computer in the world. Hm, anyone know if all of todays technological infrastructure contributes to economic growth, or nah?

To an enormous extent are todays data centers, cloud providers, and all the techology the whole world use today based on open source. Without linux, curl, ffmpeg, and so on nothing in todays high tech society would work. Google, as it is today, would not exist if it was for all the open source they leech of.

The European Union’s mutual defence clause, Article 42.7 of the European treaty, leaves the decision over what assistance each EU country provides up to national capitals. However, some EU politicians have recently pushed to define more precisely what Europe’s defence clause would mean if it were triggered.

This should have been done when Russia invaded Ukraine. The Swedish PM at the time mentioned casually that this clause existed, because they had not yet shifted to join NATO yet. At that point EU should have made it clear with how they all interpret that clause. Sweden and Finland should have pushed for the EU coming togehter on this.
