Sunshine is still very much in active development for the server side of things, and the client app is also still active. Both seem to still work flawlessly in Windows and Linux on Nvidia cards for me, and as far as I know there’s very solid support for AMD cards as well.

Well, legal proceedings take time. Not like they could (or should) just execute him on the spot or anything like that, it’s at least supposed to be a democracy with proper checks and balances to make sure everything’s in harmony with the law.

Government-sponsored facial recognition aside, I was gonna celebrate this as a rare event of a government doing something right, but then

The measures don’t apply to researchers or to what machine translation of the rules describes as “algorithm training activities” – suggesting images of citizens’ faces are fair game when used to train AI models.

and I feel like that undermines the entire idea, since you can easily hide behind that excuse and not give a shit. And given previous circumstances, I feel like a lot of companies are gonna get away with it.

Both jus soli (citizenship by birth) and jus sanguinis (citizenship by blood) exist more for historical reasons than because one is better than the other. Both are simply a way to try and make citizenship a more clear-cut thing, because it’s as close to being a made-up thing as you can get, especially in cases such as parents having a different nationality to the child (which is even more confusing when both parents are of different nationalities).

Jus soli is more common in the Americas due to various factors, including an incentive towards immigration from richer countries during colonial times and the various movements towards emancipation of the enslaved peoples a few centuries later, but the fact remains that neither system is any more arbitrary than the other. Jus soli is often favored because it simplifies things like immigration and asylum seeking and reduces statelessness, which is still a significant issue that affects millions of people worldwide, mostly around war-torn areas.

As mentioned in another response, enfranchisement is also a very important issue that jus soli resolves, although a significant part of it is also due to other, unrelated citizenship laws that may not necessarily conflict with jus sanguinis.

This was maybe the most pathetic coup attempt in recent years (excluding jan 6th and brazil’s jan 8th because they both wouldn’t have worked as actual coups regardless). At least some part of the military was clearly in on it too, but they didn’t even stop the representatives from voting to invalidate the declaration, and even worse, it was attempted while the opposition nearly had a supermajority, and with an incredibly disliked president.

Maybe this is overthinking it, but why would you ever try a coup without at least some popular support? Yeah, it doesn’t matter what the people think as far as making it happen, but lack of popular support often leads to a lot of instability, and the first one to die in an unstable dictatorship is often the guy at the top.

I don’t know of any graphical tools that let you do this, but generally, if you want to search for specific terms/times/commands or anything of that sort, piping journalctl into grep (and optionally grep into less) is pretty effective at finding stuff.

The whole capitalization of pronouns thing was pretty much entirely made up around the 19th century anyway (as well as the capitalizing the word “Lord”, which the King James version invented outright), so you can argue that protestant churches are following a woke plot to change the pronouns of the christian god as well.

~/src/ Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

Given the historical record on attempts at Mercosur-EU trade deals, this is likely to fail yet again, since the EU’s agricultural voting bloc (mostly in France and Italy) doesn’t really want the market to be populated by cheaper products from abroad (at least not any more than it already is). But at this point, given the several ongoing food crises that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused, the chances for a successful agreement are about as high as they can go, so they might as well go for it.

Isn’t the entire point of the Rome Statute that the country accepts the court’s jurisdiction involving international crimes and crimes against humanity as higher than that of any national court? I’m not an expert, but I imagine this defeats the point of signing the statute in the first place.

Unfortunately for us, the sun isn’t an egg timer, and it’s pretty much completely impossible to determine exactly when and how strong the next solar flare is until it’s hurtling through space and potentially in our direction (beyond general trends like solar cycles and such). Would be great if it worked like that though.
