  • depends on your Distro, for Linux Mint it’s just the Driver Manager.

    2. Navigate to Administration.
    3. Click on Driver Manager.

    Load Device Manager for Nvidia Drivers on Linux Mint

    Once you have opened the Driver Manager, follow these steps to install the Nvidia drivers:

    1. The Driver Manager will prompt you for your password. Enter your password and click on Authenticate.
    2. The Driver Manager will scan your system for available drivers. Once the scanning is complete, you will see a list of available drivers for your graphics card.
    3. Select the recommended Nvidia driver from the list.
    4. Click on Apply Changes to start the installation process.

    Then reboot.

    For most problems you can really just google stuff like “Linux Mint Nvidia Drivers”



  • The connection between Israel and the entirety of jewish people is zionist at best and antisemitic itself at worst.

    Not all jewish people have a connection, let alone are in favour of Israel, nor has Israel any right to speak for all jewish people. Add to that, that the current far-right israeli government is not supported by or representative of all israeli citizens and maybe you can see why not all criticism of Israel or its current government is antisemitic, although a lot of antisemitism likes to hide behind criticism of Israel and the current israeli government.

    In the same way it’s absolutely possible to be antisemitic and still support the current israeli government as well as funding Israel.

    If the current US government are Nazis or if the more broad term of Fascists should apply is debateable however, imho fascist is the more accurate term, if only because it has broader application for the very broad coalition of far-right authoritarians in the US.






  • Sure, their fundamentalist, militant beliefs are not rooted in any intelligent reading of their scripture, but, in my opinion, just like humans can not evolve out of our ancestry (humans are apes, are monkeys, are primates, are mammals, are chordates) movements cannot escape the roots of their religion. And they constitute a vast, but for it’s size relatively homogeneous, culturally distinct sect of Christianity. So let’s not create a “true scotsman” here, just because they don’t abide by your (or my) interpretation of their faith doesn’t mean they aren’t Christians, similar differences in belief exist in many religious sects in many different religions. And at least they violently “claim” to be Christians and will defend that position with vigor. Something apparent in all the big american sects that, from the outside, seeem to have little to nothing to do with the teachings in the New Testament. Like Mormonism.

    Just like Christianity, Judaism and Islam are still abrahamic religions, those new american sects will always remain christian in their roots.

    For this sect, Christian trappings have fused with the American Civil Religion, the Red Scare and the “Lost Cause”-myth. In this worldview, the defeat in a holy war (American Civil War) facilitated the struggle between evil, socialist, secular, globalist, minority-loving, weak liberalism and the good, pious, capitalist, nationalist, exceptionalist, (mostly white) red-blooded conservatism.

    This might actually constitute a new kind of religion, but it is heavily blanketed in pseudo-christian trappings and lots of old-testament fire and brimstone. And this mind-virus relies on the widespread christian beliefs in the US to spread into new hosts. A lack of (objective, comparative) religious education with, at the same time, a deeply religious habitat is the fertile ground that allows this to spread. What you or me would interpret as a “correct” (or “less wrong”) christian faith, if followed culturally or blindly and without haven given it enough thought, actually aides in the spread of this militant, nationalistic, chauvinist movement that has infected the US and is (imho) at the root of Reaganism, the Tea-Party and the entire Maga-Movement. It has been mutating and getting more malignant for a while now and I honestly have no idea how this could ever be excised from the US.





  • Reads differently

    Looking ahead, most of the respondents expect current risks to persist, in particular the frequency of extreme weather events, and the unpredictability of how the Russian invasion of Ukraine will evolve. Concerning the latter, risks are not only linked to the availability of imports, but also to ongoing price volatility both for inputs and commodities and to potential logistical restrictions in place. Several respondents anticipate no decline in food inflation in the coming months, as input and production costs are expected to stay up, thus keeping consumer prices high due to delayed price transmission between different stages of the food chain

    So there are concerns about the invasion and it’s driving food inflation.
