President Donald Trump has fired Pam Bondi as attorney general.

She will be replaced for now by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who will serve as acting attorney general, Trump said.

The president wrote on Truth Social that Bondi would be “transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector,” praising her for her work in his administration and offering no specific reason for why she would be leaving.

A US-Israeli attack hit a key bridge on a main highway in northern Iran on Thursday, in the latest escalation in the region, Iranian media reported.

According to Fars News Agency, multiple sites were struck in the Azimieh area near the city of Karaj, including the B1 Bridge, described as the highest bridge in the Middle East.

The outlet said several people were injured in the attack, and rescue teams were dispatched to the scene.

The strike caused damage to the bridge, which was part of a major road infrastructure project and was expected to be inaugurated soon, according to the report.

I walk the same path to/fro the park. I'd like to think that I don't have a habit of shuffling or not raising my feet high enough for the next step. Or so I thought.

For you see, my fellow Lemmings, today was fraught with a danger undulating through the stone. "LOLseas is coming, lol, do it, now!"

The paver jumped up at least 3cm just in time for my boot to connect. I tripped, but didn't fall. Onlookers quickly looked away as I let out a sad, but lengthy sigh. I know the nearest dog must've heard me.

The rest of the cobblestone path was a cakewalk.

I've updated my long-running blog detailing every single video game studio, big and small, using generative AI. Today, I've added entries for Lutris' AI coding, Nvidia's Yassification filter, Unity's AI game generator, Valve testing AI tools, and a couple of indie studios.

I've also added more information about Koei-Tecmo using an AI chat engine in-game, Warhorse firing translators to use AI translation in the future, Krafton signing with a weapons manufacturer to make "physical AI" weapons, and Xbox's new AI-loving CEO.

As always, these entries and additions were fully researched and cited. Though I admit my annoyance (and frankly appalled attitude) is really on display in these new entries.

According to the white paper, solving the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem may require roughly 1,200 logical qubits and under 500,000 physical qubits, with attack times measured in minutes on sufficiently advanced systems.

Hi, everyone.

I've been running openSUSE Tumbleweed since the end of 2024. For awhile, it was good enough for me to stay on it and I left my Windows SSD alone.

That has changed recently with a newer game I want to play, just recently released. I've sudo zypper dup a couple of times now and it just won't play. I got tired of trying with my limited time, and booted back into Windows. I've been enjoying the game quite a lot, but I miss my Linux install. Luckily, I have everything backed up to a cloud provider so moving between the two, I don't lose or miss out on anything (EXCEPT MY PRIVACY).

So, with all this being said, I'd like to know what other think I should try out. Here are some of the distros I've got ready to try:

1. CachyOS - This SEEMS like it would be a perfect fit for me up until the point that it might also give me the same issues openSUSE Tumbleweed is giving me right now, but I am always willing to give it a try!

2. Debian - Stability is what I really want, but I also will need access to newer drivers and kernels since I play games both old and brand spanking new, so if I can get the newer drivers/kernel installed, this would honestly be my choice at this point.

3. Fedora - Fedora is also a close contender to Debian since they are both considered stable. I tried Fedora on 42 or something, and found it lacking in game performance compared to openSUSE. That might've been a fluke, but it was enough for me to immediately switch back to SUSE.

4. openSUSE Leap - This is just me wondering if using the not-so-bledding-edge version of openSUSE would be more up my alley. I have no idea on how hard or easy it would be to get newer GPU drivers and kernel on this, but surely it could be done?

Basically, I want both a stable system and a system that is updated enough to be able to play a brand new game on NVIDIA (I bought before I knew I'd be switching over to Linux full-time..). I am not into Linux for getting my hands dirty or for reading a manual on how to do something. I am mainly here to get away from Microsoft. The only thing I care about on this desktop is gaming. I also prefer KDE as the Desktop Environment, but will gladly use whatever will match the above!

Sorry for the long post, I just do not want to keep distro hopping hoping one will match my criteria above without any extra hassle (editing configs has ALWAYS busted my Linux systems, so since I'm just not smart enough to get weeds deep with Linux, I just want to boot it up, start a game, and play!). Hopefully some of you out there have similar needs for their machine and can help me out!

Thank you! :)

If this is hated on I'll delete the thread (EDIT) I guess not.

I've been playing with a DB for a personal project, and I want to start again, and sketch out some ideas on how to set it up. I only want a GUI that I can set up tables and connect them together and set their properties. Maybe add notes.

Just a simple UI tool. I don't want it to access my db or whatever, I just want to sketch it out. What do you use for DB planning?

The B1 bridge in Karaj, which was still under construction, was set to form part of a major highway connecting the region with Tehran, the Iranian capital.

Two people were killed and several injured in the strike on the 136-metre-high structure, Iranian state media reported.

Mr Trump posted about the attack on his Truth Social platform, writing: “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again – Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!”

The Iranian regime also claimed that bombs struck a century-old medical centre in Tehran. Images published by the health ministry show a largely destroyed building, which it identified as the Pasteur Institute of Iran.

About seven hours into the flight of Artemis II, Commander Reid Wiseman experienced something many earthbound Microsoft users know all too well: his Outlook email stopped working.

Central American country to receive up to 25 migrants a day expelled as part of Trump’s immigration crackdown

The Costa Rican government has agreed to receive up to 25 deported migrants a week from the United States, the latest deal in the Trump administration’s unprecedented efforts to deport scores of people to “third countries”.

With the new agreement, Costa Rica seeks a closer alliance with Donald Trump’s government, which has been securing cooperation from other Central American countries in accepting deportees from other nations who have been detained by US immigration agents.

This was a lot of fun. it didnt say kids only and looked pretty sturdy, so i tucked in my arms and rolled on down the mountain.

France’s hard-left France Unbowed party said several Black lawmakers received racist letters, condemning what it called entrenched discrimination. The incident follows a surge of abuse targeting recently elected Saint-Denis Mayor Bally Bagayoko, underscoring concerns about rising racism in French public life.

My torrent client downloads files to internal SSD. When I'm low on storage (often), I remove some torrents from qbittorrent and move files to external HDD. It means I can't seed them anymore.

I want to be able to seed HDD torrents periodically. What workflow can I employ? I can think of:

1. Use 2 different torrent clients. One with "external" torrents only. It will never be launched when external HDD is not plugged in, therefore old torrents will not be marked as "missing files" and will not require verification every now and then;

2. Use single torrent client which can accept CLI commands to start/stop specific torrents. Before detaching external HDD I will run a script to stop all external torrents. I will resume them back again only when HDD is accessible.

Any other ideas?

Arizona’s legislative leaders can’t dismantle a new national monument near the Grand Canyon that they claimed would harm both the state and local governments, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

In the memorandum ruling, a three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with a lower court ruling made more than a year ago. Both courts ruled that Republican legislative leaders lacked standing to bring the lawsuit because all of the harms they claimed the monument would cause were speculative.

Lady at the post office for me, only person i say that to who mutually says it to me haha
