  • Some NATO contries have agreements with the US on how to handle service members, not sure if all of ICE/DHS falls under that, but it is there to keep US personel at military bases safe from their own actions and the target contries laws. The US pinky promises in the agreements to prosecute the persons under US law if the country just hands them over with no fuss. Under current conditions in the US, I take that to mean that US service members can commit any crime in any nation with such an agreement without any consquences.

    On top of that there is the ‘invade the Hague act’, but that is just for war crimes.

    And I don’t think any EU country have the death penalty (even “life” generally means like <20 years).









  • I have serious issues with Cosmic. When I lock the screen and come back, then it has kills all terminals except the Cosmic terminal, firefox has become… broken, for the lack of a better word, where all new pages just give gray background color and no menu items work, and the sound is reset to the laptop speaker instead of hdmi, not the disolay though, only sound. Then fullscreening terminals also makes them crash, as in they seem to refuse to take input.

    It is not really usable. But since nvidia on x11 in popos started resetting the display config when the screen went to sleep, it beats the alternative.



  • Look into a distro that you might like, and find a “live usb” of it, often it is the installation media itself. How it works is basically it is a linux already installed on a disk image you transfer to the usb, and tell the computer to boot from it. Instructions on all this usually comes with the live usb media. Then you usually get a “try it out” or “install” option, or it just leaves you at a pre-configured desktop. Click around, install stuff, browse the web, get a feel for it.







  • I found this

    This manuscript was developed in dialogue with several artificial intelligence system

    I guess that is why you say

    With this project having escaped my competence long ago

    OK. Just to let you know, nothing here makes sense.

    Tanke my question. Like on some level, “$g_{rr}$” is the correct answer. But not in the context of the text in the manuscript. Then the answer would be “there is no spatial curvature in that metric, that statement and the section is wrong”.

    Your suggested improvements at the end of the comment would not help the situation either. None of them relevantly addresses the issue.

    Your answer here makes no sense. For the gravitational lensing calculation you use one metric. Here you try to juggle three metrics at once to… I’m not sure what the intent is, but there are barely anything that makes sense.

    Look. If you think that anything here make sense, that you believe that anything that these LLMs your are using is getting closer to some new description of reality, or are even coherent, then I advise you to talk to someone. Like a health professional. What you are doing is not healthy. I’m saying this out of genuine consern.

    I will not engage you on this anymore. Just one last thing before I leave, you are not to mention my user name in any contribution nor acknowledgment. Nothing I have said is to be taken as a positive encuragement as to indicate that you are making anything useful here. Hence it would not make sense to make a reference to this conversation as any sort of contribution, as it is not an attempt at contributing but only to critique. So please, do not attribute this to some “community contribution” in any of your texts.
