I assume that's in the US only. The sames drop in Europe is far worse (40 to 80% depending on country) because they are less receptive to fascists than the US.

No cjarsons in Friuli? Come on

The article should mention whether or not this would affect their sovereign wealth fund, and if so, in what fashion... Not to mention how EU environmental regulations may affect what is essentially a petrostate.

Life expectancy is calculated based on people born at the time of the survey.

Wow, 86 in Madrid! Impressive.

The american elite managed to convince ordinary americans that evil foreigners are to blame for all their problems.

No they didn't. Millions of Americans already believed this and were waiting only for permission to externalize it.

The night before the presentation, she said she got a call from the vice chair of the education department who had raised concerns with the contents.

A couple of the slides in her presentation touched on the casualties in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war as well as the cuts at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Liu said she was told the slides about Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic” while the USAID section might be perceived as “anti governmental.”

Liu, who was already in New York when she got the call, offered to make edits to those slides but then three hours later, after some deliberations, she said the university apologized and said they had to cancel.

It's appalling to see how quickly American higher ed bent over for the fascists. Why would anybody study there? Come to Canada or the EU instead.

If anything, they haven’t condemned our fascist government enough. I think they’re still largely in shock.

There's no sense in pointless bluster. Much is happening behind the scenes.

Also great in crepes.

Sure, in the sense that California is a city.

He really does think the EU is a country. I'm not sure my opinion of Americans will ever recover from them having voted in this absolute moron.

Sorry if this kind of question isn't allowed here, but I'm at my wit's end. VB randomly started launching on startup about 2 weeks ago (on EndeavourOS) and I can't figure out why. There's no shortcut in ~/config/autostart, it isn't in the KDE startup apps list, and I can't find anything virtualbox-related with systemctl either. There's also no setting in the VB app itself. WTF?

Based on recommendations in that thread, I also checked:

/etc/systemd/system
/etc/default/
vboxautostart.service
KDE "restore session" settings

Any ideas are much appreciated!

Sorry if this community isn't the right place to ask — I got a USB webcam that works great in Teams, but lags tremendously (3-4 seconds) in Zoom. I doubt the Zoom app is introducing that lag on its own, but how would I troubleshoot this?

This is on EndeavourOS (basically Arch)

 

Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn't have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

 

RESOLVED: it was caused by the app being flatpak. use Flatseal!

I have a network drive mounted to my computer (PopOS). I have read & write access to everything in the drive and can drag and drop files between two Nautilus windows, but if I try to drag a file from the network drive into an email for example, I get a popup about file permissions. Is it because flatpak apps don't inherit my user permissions?

 

(apologies in advance if this isn't the right community for this question)

I've been flirting with Linux on and off for about 15 years and I think I'm ready to make the switch mostly full-time. I use a laptop for work and have a Microsoft 365 plan with email and such. I need to replace that with something Linux-friendly and would much prefer something that works with a desktop email client. Easy syncing of email, contacts and calendar to Android is a must.

Proton seems like it might be a good option but the privacy features aren't a huge selling point for me so I'm open to other options!
