I had a two laptop: one main for gaming and a shitty computer for school. I had to code on python. It was easier to setup on linux. I liked KDE. I installed kubuntu on the laptop for school.

As soon as I stopped playing videogames on my main computer I went for linux definitely

Edit: it was 10 years ago

Thanks for the source

It is reassuring:

Secondly, the world corporate media completely distorted one of President Maduro’s phrases that if he lost the election there would be ‘a bloodbath’. What he meant was that the government programme of the extreme right was so brutal (wholesale privatisation of just about everything under the Venezuelan sun, including oil, gas, education, health, elimination of all social benefits and so forth) that would inevitably bring about a social reaction similar to the one against Milei in Argentina, thus leading a possible right-wing government in Venezuela to resort to force and repression, hence the President’s use of the term “bloodbath”.

Not at all. Several countries are debating whether they should work with the talibans to fight ISIS or not

Edit: the Wikipedia page is way more detailed than I expected (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State–Taliban_conflict)

So you think that he cheated and is trying to steal the election? If true, why would he stop now?

Two of Maduro’s closest allies — the leftist presidents of Brazil and Colombia — have recently joined a chorus of nations, including the U.S., that have expressed deep concerns about Sunday’s presidential election, which Venezuelan electoral authorities said the president won by seven points.

I shared this article because of this. Lula supported Maduro before the election but asked Venezuela to release the detailed count of the votes. And Venezuela has not done so yet.

The opposition claims the election is rigged and the tension is high.

Maduro warned that a bloodbath would happen after the election if the opposition didn’t accept his victory.

The situation is worrying for the Venenzuelian people. But you say that how they present the situation is pure propaganda. Do you have a better link?

Cleanliness test were also made just before the race. The article from apnews talks about them. I could only find french newspaper talking about it but the “heavy rainfalls” seemed NOT to be a problem.

L’orage de mardi soir “n’est pas passé loin”, a admis mercredi le préfet de région Marc Guillaume, mais “il n’a pas plu sur la zone d’épreuves”. En cas de précipitations intenses, de l’eau non traitée peut être rejetée dans le fleuve, un phénomène que les ouvrages de rétention inaugurés juste avant les Jeux ont vocation à empêcher.

Tuesday evening’s thunderstorm “was a close call”, admitted regional prefect Marc Guillaume on Wednesday, but “it didn’t rain on the event zone”. In the event of heavy rainfall, untreated water can be discharged into the river, a phenomenon that the retention structures inaugurated just before the Games are designed to prevent.

If she got sick from the swim, she got unlucky because the bacteria levels were “very good”. She probably got sick from somewhere else.

It was not E. coli that made her sick, she wrote, adding that she sought treatment at a clinic in the Olympic Village on Sunday after several days of vomiting and diarrhea “left me quite empty.”

World Triathlon said the bacteria levels last week when the individual triathlon events were held were considered “very good” and that the levels were also within acceptable limits during Monday’s triathlon mixed relay event.

Does it mean that the swiss government will become a major open source contributor ?

What informations were released by China ? From the link:

• US spent $200m in 26 labs
• Russia says there are 30+
• WHO asks destruction of it
• China asks questions

It feels like they didn’t share new intels
