Une centaine d'étudiants Serbes, partis en vélo le 3 avril dernier de Novi Sad, arrivent à Strasbourg ce mardi 15 avril pour faire entendre leur combat contre la corruption qui ravage leur pays. Malgré l’ampleur du soulèvement…

Why the fexx do Americans think that corporations support corrupt (most of them) politicians in Congress, the Senate and the White House?

There has to be a return on that money. Maybe the US people could reconsider who is really to blame for a poor healthcare system and deteriorating public services? Not I should point out that companies donating to the Tories and Labour want anything different

Hate and anger are nothing more than abstraction layers or devices the weak deploy to protect themselves from facing pain or ignorance they lack the courage to face.

The lie that hate and anger manifest within the hearts of those that carry them is that they provide an illusion of control over something the weak are incapable of facing with love or forgiveness.

NCJA · DOJ Is Leaving Some Kinds Of White-Collar Crime EnforcementThe Trump administration is withdrawing from some types of white-collar law enforcement, including cases involving foreign bribery, public corruption, money laundering and crypto markets. In some cases, the administration is effectively redefining what business conduct constitutes a crime, reports the Wall Street Journal.

"How many people benefited last week from advance knowledge that Trump would reverse his position on tariffs?
How many others are making other stock-market bets based on their access to government information? We don’t know the answers, and Trump’s Department of Justice is unlikely to want to find out. We are living in the dark, just as people do in other kleptocracies, and this changes everything."

Confession: I can't really stand Bernie Sanders, and I think he is a bit dim and I wish AOC would give him a wider berth. #Americans do not hate #wealth or rich people. It is the #corruption they hate. The #DemocraticParty needs to stay focused on the #graft and #theft of state assets. #Autocracy #Kleptocracy #uspol #uspolitics

Btrfs - Most curious case, is this flaw or not. Can't really tell. - I've got lots of scattered data in dirty write buffers to disk, due to scattered writes and high system memory. I've also got long commit interval to allow efficient flushing (as contiguous as possible) when that scattered data is finally written to disk. It all works fine, if I sync before shutdown. But if I just shutdown the system, the flush process takes longer than the maximum allowed file system unmount time is. Even worse, some of the data is written to SSD and some to HDD. The state data is on SSD and actual data is on HDD. When the flush timeout is encountered, the system shuts down in state where state file says that this data is written to disk, and the data actually isn't on disk yet. - Flaw or not? - Of course this requires this curious combination of things to trigger, but the problem is very real. - Who's fault it is? #btrfs #data #corruption #loss #cow #linux #filesystem #shutdown
