I would suggest watching this video about algorithmic redistricting and how it can be used to get nearly any result you want given enough time and computation and getting “reasonable” looking districts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq-Y7crQo44

I just read the while thing and it is in there. Should be near the top half if memory serves me

Reminded me of this bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsY2zWN6D3Q

Pretty sure someone hallucinated this or there is another Phineas Gage I can’t find because this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage had a 3 foot iron tamping rod put through their skull by a powder charge.

A gentle reminder that you know about them and are available but putting no pressure on them would probably help them. Unsure if it will cause them to open up more, but if your goal is making sure they are ok, I don’t think reaching out would be a bad idea.

you might be able to wire up https://www.wolframalpha.com/ to your search bar for those sort of conversions or calculations. I love using it for time conversions or time zone conversions.

I mean it took all of 30 seconds of having not used in it a few years to find the eclipse selection tool, force it to a circle and fill it with color. If you have a fancy tablet you could probably even put some patterns in it too but that is not a skill I have

So compatibility mode did work and now I’m just upset with how difficult it is to paste an image into discord but that seems like another issue for a different thread

Sadly there weren’t any good logs in the installer debug logs, but the syslog had a good lead to follow up on

Still running into issues, but I think this link might be a good next step. Commenting with the link now before I restart the live environment https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2523101&hilit=INFO%3A+task+ubiquity+blocked#p2523101. It seems to indicate that multiple people are having this issue with linux mint 22 and that it might be related to graphics device differences/issues and several people said that they were able to install successfully after rebooting and selecting the compatibility mode setting when booting the live environment. Going to give that a shot and see if it resolve the kernel messages in syslog indicating that ubuitity has been blocked from starting for XYZ seconds that get printed out periodically.

This did get me on an interesting path. Seems like ubiquity is getting blocked from running which is stalling the installer. Going to see if I can download a newer iso and if that fixes the issue

I think I added the Google summary section to a ublock rule years ago and I think Google may have reused that or I just added the first ai response section I saw to a new rule awhile ago because I also didn’t see them frequently/at all

Doesn’t the NIST in the US publish a database of vulnerabilities? https://nvd.nist.gov/developers/vulnerabilities

According to reports in several Israeli media, the United States is part of a last-ditch diplomatic effort to prevent the International Criminal Court from issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.

I saw that and I wanted to know what exactly the role of Biden or any other whitehouse staff was so I read the rest of the article which said

Netanyahu is leading a “nonstop push over the telephone” to prevent an arrest warrant, focused especially on the administration of US President Joe Biden, Caspit writes.

So the entirety of the involvement according to this publication which says they are involved is that Netanyahu is calling “nonstop” to try to get them to intervene in an organization that they themselves haven’t signed on to? Sure sounds like a lot of involvement at this moment.

Nothing in the article says the US is doing anything. It just said Netanyahu is trying to convince the US to stop it

Wouldn’t that be in front of the blinds?
