Programs that run as regular users usually store their config in ~/.config/ or ~/.local/share/ so look in those places for config files relating to gnome. There might be a lot. It may be easier to backup then remove the both directories, saving only the config of your most important programs. Some config is stored in dconf, which should also be in here.

The amount saved was actually negative, because the contract would have brought in more than $8M in value.

While mineral rights and new border negotiations are up to Ukraine to negotiate for themself, not the US, I think NATO membership is the one thing in these peace negotiations that they don't really get to pick. It's up to the other NATO members, including the soviet United States. Ukraine may be better off getting one-on-one mutual defense agreements with various countries.

To be clear, as a US voter I support Ukraine joining NATO the minute they have a peace treaty. But I'm not the one making the decision.

From Podscribe. Scroll down to "Top Podcasts by Downloads & Views per Month". It's a shame Newsweek didn't show their work.

I think that wormhole.app page is different software from magic wormhole (and warp). It just has a similar name. wormhole.app does appear to be proprietary.

Thanks. I think I found its homepage, is it the same as this? That looks like part of Gnome, so should be open source too. (It's maybe available in your operating system without needing a flatpak, if you would prefer it that way)

I'm not familiar with warp, and couldn't find it with a search. But I did find magic wormhole, and it appears to be MIT licensed, so it is open source. I also searched packages.debian.org and found it, so definitely open source.

As for firewalls: it might only block incoming connections, or has an exception for LAN hosts. I'd have to see the configuration to say more.

Pretty much any tool with a cutting surface made of tungsten, high speed steel, or industrial diamond.

But one source I found says they only let people use their feet.

This doesn't seem like a reliable news source. The article claims to be "news", and is not marked anywhere as "opinion", yet is clearly full of opinion:

What may unfold is an economic downturn that could rip through the unaccountable federal bureaucracy in the DC Swamp that won't get a bailout this time from taxpayers.

I would recommend not linking to zerohedge .com .

That's the biggest problem. You need either Canada's consent (which he can't get) or to win a war with Canada plus the rest of NATO.

The second problem: it would make way more sense to become 10 or 13 US states. With respect to both area and population. That would be a big disadvantage to his party in congress.

NATO is worth less with the US than without it. The US can't even be trusted to defend a NATO country from invasion, which makes it worthless to NATO. But what makes it have negative value is its bad political influence and veto power on other countries joining. The US is a second world country.

interment

Maybe the dead ones. Being buried alive is cruel and unusual, and torture, so IMO it's unsuitable even for Nazis and/or IDF soldiers.

Major Russian banks have called on the central bank to take action to counter a yuan liquidity deficit, which has led to the rouble tumbling to its lowest level since April against the Chinese currency and driven yuan swap rates into triple digits.

The rouble fell by almost 5% against the yuan on Sept. 4 on the Moscow Stock Exchange (MOEX) after the finance ministry's plans for forex interventions implied that the central bank's daily yuan sales would plunge in the coming month to the equivalent of $200 million.

The central bank had been selling $7.3 billion worth of yuan per day during the past month. The plunge coincided with oil giant Rosneft's 15 billion yuan bond placement, which also sapped liquidity from the market.

"We cannot lend in yuan because we have nothing to cover our foreign currency positions with," said Sberbank CEO German Gref, stressing that the central bank needed to participate more actively in the market. The yuan has become the most traded foreign currency on MOEX after Western sanctions halted exchange trade in dollars and euros, with many banks developing yuan-denominated products for their clients. Yuan liquidity is mainly provided by the central bank through daily sales and one-day yuan swaps, as well as through currency sales by exporting companies.

Chinese banks in Russia, meanwhile, are avoiding currency trading for fear of secondary Western sanctions.

 

All the communities on lemmy.lukeog.com are mirrors of Reddit boards. lemmy.lukeog.com does not accept posts from Lemmy users -- only its bot may post and comment, and its posts and comments are just mirrors of Reddit posts and comments.

This doesn't seem like a useful way to use Lemmy. It's more like just a mirror of Reddit, in which case archive.is or web.archive.org would be more useful, in my opinion.

Better not to waste bandwidth and resources on this, in my opinion.

 

2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.
