Another reputable group that’s on the ground and providing help directly to victims of the earthquake is Ahbap, an organisation founded by Turkish rock singer Haluk Levent.
You can donate their to support their efforts:
Well yeah , the general population just seems to want to ignore all this.

Would anyone like to forecast how much poorer most people will be on 1 April when your energy bills go up by another 40%, govt support for most households stops, your water bills go up 7.5%, council tax, broadband, mobile fees, mortgage rates, NI all increase?

We surely can't keep using the war in Ukraine as an excuse for this forever.

Making Debian boot, but keeping the Windows partition, on an old, but not too old for UEFI, laptop. Hopefully the advice here on efibootmgr helps. It promises to also keep Windows from taking over again:

On a more positive note, this setup could be ideal if a partner needs to get up early to work nights or gets back late due to shift work. esp if there is no room for separate bedrooms.

@DeanObeidallah +1 for the sake of the rest of the world NDICT TRUMP

It's now TWO YEARS and 32 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged with crimes. Instead Trump is now running for President where he's actively spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. INDICT TRUMP!

Capitol police re-install security fencing around Capitol before the State of Union address. The reason is concerns that Trump’s terrorists may wage another attack. Yet not one leading Republican denounces the threats of violence. Today GOP is what FASCISM looks like. #SOTU

Yes, happy to boost, electric cars are great, in terms of reducing pollutants, but what is the cost to the environment when extracting lithium from the ground. This is hidden, and not discussed.
If you have a program such as vokoscreen-ng are you able to make a short video on how to switch from normal <> dark mode please. It helps others and also promotes the feature. I have made a few 7.4 videos. Unless you just put the steps here and I can do that.

@libreoffice has a #DarkMode. 😍
OK, I updated from 7.3, so I probably missed this feature in 7.4, but this is a _huge_ improvement for me. And I just discovered, that I can change the document background, too. Less strain on my eyes. I'm in love! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

In the latest episode of The Science Of Social Media, we discuss what Mastodon is, how it differs from traditional social media, and how to get started on the platform.
If you're new to Mastodon, this episode is for you.

It probably depends if mainstream social media can be used to manipulate people like before, or if the algorithms have changed to stop it
@Lowie@universeodon.com @therobburgessshow
Agreed.
