#control
African countries are asserting more control over their resources and the exploitation of them. It has many companies who have had a free ride in the past with only the odd bribe to be paid to maintain access to be budgeted for.
Why #Linux is Great (Despite the Challenges)
Linux gives you #freedom, #control, and #performance — even for #gaming. With tools like #Proton, #Wine, and #Lutris, thousands of #Windows games now run smoothly on Linux.
You get a #fast, #secure, and #customizable system without background bloat or forced #updates. Sure, setup can be tricky at first, and not every title works perfectly out of the box. But the learning curve pays off: you gain real control over your system and understand how it works.
The #community is active and helpful, and performance often matches or even beats Windows in some games. Once you're in, there's no going back.
Linux makes gaming smarter, cleaner, and yours.

Glider flight controls. How does the control stick make the ailerons work? (And what about those flaperons?)
The video is in three sections. (Sorry about the abrupt jump cut edits.) First section shows the control stick moved side-to-side to move the ailerons. That motion is carried by various push-pull tubes and bellcranks...aft of the landing gear. In the second section of the video we see the lever for one wing goes up while the other goes down.
But I have flaperons, not ailerons. The third section shows the result of moving the flap lever...the same wing control levers now move up together, or down together.
The mechanical mixer allows two different control inputs (control stick sideways motion, and flap lever) to be combined into one final motion.

I, for one, would like to know what Norm did to piss off the rest of the 787 Dreamliner design team so badly.

Glider flight controls!
This is only part of the entire system. It is one of the more complex parts. This portion of the system changes camber of the wing flaperons. Please read the alt-text for more details.
One important part of this subsystem is the use of a push-pull cable, which is rather different from the cables you typically find on bicycles. (See the first comment to this post for a photo of the push-pull cable.)
I will post other videos that show other portions of the mechanical flight controls.
@sz_duras The accumulation of material wealth (#capitalism) must be seen as a continuation of #domination by the hoarding/centralization of knowledge/power by multi-millennial #technoBureaucraticSocialSystems. In the era of #colonialCapitalism, power slipped towards the control of #capital alone. In the industrial and post-industrial/neocolonial eras, we see a return to the #control of #management, #power is (again) in the hands of #managers (#Burnham), now capitalists. #postPolitics #postGrowth

Mainly, this would be translated as:
“Samsung adds even more possibilities to harvest your personal data.”
Why didn't you write this instead? It would have been much easier ;)
I did this about a decade and a half ago
It is mostly about defining the self; the illusion of control; what luck is; what affects our thinking; the attention economy; the literacy virus; the motor that motivates us
It’s a recap of everything I’d been writing about and teaching, up to that point – shortly after this I did a few actual personal appearances in venues to deliver this talk to audiences.

The Polis are taking liberties with the law - less than 3% of those arrested were postured and the article makes no mention of the percentage who were actually convicted. And this is with the full support of Westminster.

“Breakthroughs in large language models (#LLMs) have made conversations with #chatbots feel more natural and human-like. Applications such as Replika and Character.ai, which allow users to chat with artificial intelligence (##AI) versions of famous actors and science-fiction characters, are becoming popular, especially among young #users. As a #neuroscientist studying #stress, #vulnerability and #resilience, I’ve seen how easily people react to even the smallest emotional cues — even when they know that those cues are artificial. For example, study participants exhibit measurable physiological responses when shown videos of computer-generated avatars expressing sadness or fear.”
…
“Because these AI systems are #trained on vast amounts of emotionally expressive human language, their outputs can come across as surprisingly natural. *LLMs often mirror human emotional patterns, not because they understand emotions, but because their responses resemble how people talk.*”
…
“Now is the time to establish mandatory #safeguards for all emotionally responsive AI.”
“Emotional influence isn’t a glitch. It’s a core feature of LLMs. If we celebrate their ability to comfort or advise, we must also confront their capacity to mislead or manipulate. We’ve built machines that sound like they care. Now, we must ensure that they don’t hurt the very people who turn to them for support. That means giving emotionally responsive AI not just more capabilities, but clearer boundaries.”

How fast does brake fluid dissolve certain tubing?
I have read that DOT 3 brake fluid will dissolve vinyl tubing, so I won't use it in my brake system.
But how fast does vinyl tubing dissolve in DOT 3? A couple days ago I put a piece of vinyl tubing in brake fluid. I also put a piece of Tygon tubing in fluid...as a control/comparison.
So far the vinyl has not turned into a pile of goo. Perhaps it's gotten a bit softer, but only a bit.
I'll run this experiment a bit longer, but not as long as the famous Pitch Drop Experiment:

Steeds meer regeringen gebruiken technologie als wapen.
AI, gezichtsherkenning, stemanalyse, irisscans – om burgers op te sporen, te volgen, te controleren.
Niet alleen in dictaturen. Ook in zogenaamd vrije landen.
Gezichtsherkenning is onbetrouwbaar Leidt tot valse matches, onterechte arrestaties Migranten op straat ‘scannen’ is vragen om ellende
Surveillance = controle Controle = angst Angst = gehoorzaamheid
Tech Bros weren't drafted into the fascist coup, they volunteered.
Delete windows, get a non google, non apple phone, drop twitter, delete Facebook, install linux, use blockers.
You may have ignored tech bro spying and control before, but now your life and family and country is at stake.
Control is a fun game and well worth the full price, so 85% off is a steal

Traci Lords has been teasing some news about her ahead-of-its time 1995 album 1000 Fires this week on Instagram. It's a superb album. Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones co-produced it (Okey Dokey is awesome) and Iain Baker used to recount on FriendFeed and Facebook how much fun it was to hang out with Traci and some of the things they got up to in London when she was recording over here.
