The message itself is positive: Keep trying, that's the way to succeed, your chances are never zero unless you refuse.

Reading it though, we see words doubt, kill, failure and the image of evergrowing cemetary of dead dreams never followed through.

The message, just like sweets, can be covered and served differently.

I'm puzzled if text on the picture could be reworded in a positive way.

This little guy's photo is old af. I hope he kept the energy he shows there growing up. Seeing him in memes almost always made me jealous.

I could've bought myself into a myth of Israel being encircled by enemies if not for it attacking everyone at will, getting no response. US, Europe raised a bully and only some select countries refuse to enable it. I'm yet to decide if I'm on board with a complete erasure of Israel as a state, but I don't see any solution possible before it becomes deeply pacified and demilitarized.

I don't see what exactly supports that sensationalistheadline: the plans to target anything in Poland, Lithuania. It is pretty much suicidal and also inconsistent with what russia does right now.

In early July, Polish investigators revealed that wreckage from Russian drones shot down in Ukraine contained 4G modems equipped with SIM cards from Polish mobile operators, as reported by Polish journalist Marek Budzisz. Later, a SIM card from a Lithuanian operator was also discovered in another drone.

That's the factual core of the article, excluding guesses and assumptions. I don't know said journalist by name so there I do lay some trust in this magazine in citing them.

And while implying russia wants to have a war with one another country at the moment is pretty dumb, there are tons of other more probable explanations.

For one, russia does use aerospace of bordering countries in order to attack from an unlikely direction and doesn't want such drones to be discovered not by Ukraine, nor by the third country it borrowed sim cards from.

Saying so doesn't absolve russia of responsibility, but what kind of responsibility exactly? There we shall open a new can of worms: does posing as a device from another country count as a new kind of a warcrime, invented by russia? Like, using other country's uniform is a legit offence, so simcards shouldn't be okay too? Or not? It is for others to decide.

But, besides discovering and banning batches of simcards that they would do, I think that Poland and Lithuania downing drones with european simcards is a flawless idea no matter where are they from or where they want to fly, for they are european drones now and europeans have all rights to decide their faith.

P.S.: Kdenlive doesn't have options to compress webp on official version from CachyOS repository, in rendering menu it's inactive. Is it normal? 40MB animation is overkill for web.

Just installed CachyOS and the drive I used alongside system drive for media\archive storage can't get mounted anymore. It's internal HDD and uses NTFS, I created it on Windows 10 years ago and used all this time from under Mint (no dualboot, only Mint). I did a regular reboot before OS switch and didn't even mount it this time.

While trying to access said drive, dolphin prints that:

An error occurred while accessing 'drive', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /run/media/user/drive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Where can I start my fixing journey? Where I can look for precise reason it fails?

All components are 5-10 years old if it matters. The other HDD that I formatted under Mint works just fine. It's probably a CachyOS vs NTFS problem.

I succeed at force-mounting it via ntfs 3g, but it seems it really was a problem with a bad block or something originating from windows. Checks were passed with 0 errors, so I assume it's a little funni M$ gave me with a divorce letter.

Instead of finding a way to force-mount it every time, I tried checking it via WinPE, and it helped remove the cause of errors.

I'm yet to understand what is really behind that, filesystem differences and how OSs work with them, so if you have good articles, please share these.

And that's a term we haven't applied but can apply now to technically good art following the common trends at the time, yet lacking something interesting to it, e.g. numerous portraits, template studies et cetera

 

My heart goes to art graduates who wrote about bauhaus-the-style, not Bauhaus-the-band
