As many expected,
the Trump administration has persisted in waging its war on Iran without congressional authorization.
In doing so, the White House  continues to act in violation of not only the U.S. Constitution and the UN Charter,
but also the 60-day deadline on unauthorized hostilities imposed by the War Powers Resolution (WPR).
What’s new is the White House argument in a May 1st letter to Congress that the WPR’s 60-day clock stopped because the “hostilities that…

Ongoing Iran War Reveals Necessary War Powers Reforms
It is Congress’s responsibility to assert its constitutional prerogatives with respect to the use of force and to rein in a lawless executive.

Ugh this morning the Android support on my #SailfishOS phone entered a crash/restart loop, rendering all Android apps unusable 😩
Apparently the Android VM runs out of memory and there's no fix.
UPDATE: It seems I have found a solution/workaround¹ 🥳

Android App Support crashes after starting because VM runs out of heap
This morning my Xperia 10iii (SFOS 5.0.0.77) entered the Android restart loop as well.

Not reproducible, however I have a VirtualBox snapshot of the bugged installation.
I can restart SDDM and login, again I get a black screen. Xorg.0.log has one error:

Maybe negligible. The same error occurs when I successfully startx and use twm instead of Plasma (X11).
'reboot -r' is not enough to work around the issue.
Plasma did work, once, after 'shutdown -r now', however this is not a consis…

I don’t think I feel comfortable using Linux mint, they have a GitHub bot that auto closes inactive issues.

My old backup solution crapped out earlier this year (it completely forgot my configuration, and don't accept the config files I had exported - or possibly I didn't save the right encryption password for these files).
So I guess I'll have to restart the offsite backup process. Unfortunately, the upload speed I can get here is ... not great.

A federal judge in Rhode Island on Friday struck down a series of Donald Trump’s policies that he ruled were rooted in
“anti-immigrant sentiments”
and ordered the administration to resume processing of asylum grants and immigration benefit applications of people from 39 targeted countries.
Last November, US Citizenship and Immigration Services indefinitely suspended asylum adjudications and froze immigration applications for people affected by a travel ban implemented after…

It's amusing (and annoying) that a browser pops up a new tab when you restart it to update it, like I'm not doing it just to get rid of the nag button, like I even give a fuck what they changed

My ubuntu had another very bad wake up from suspension. Could barely get the login to present. typing was mega slow. Mouse barely moved. Did manage to open the UI to restart the machine this time.
After restart I used claude to see if it could find the reason. It found a USB device (my external cd drive) that was spamming errors. I could see the errors stop when I unplugged it.
How embarrassing for ubuntu that it lets those errors grind the system to a halt.

Iran can try to call Trump's bluff, it is not very attractive for him to "restart" the fighting, it would also be terrible for the Gulf states, financial markets etcetera...

hi y'all, we came back from an outage a few hours ago and I forgot to restart the bot. we'll be back soon thanks!!

Microslop is a royal PITA. I received a "a scheduled restart is required to complete the installation of an application".
My answer? HELL NO!
I am the oncall person and production is running and the work machine must run. I might do it Friday morning so that if they mess up the machine I can go to work and scream at the team.
Also... Why does MS require a reboot? Can't they just turn off the service, update and restart the service? They also don't tel…

The Trump administration ordered the restart of a Santa Barbara oil pipeline shut since the 2015 Refugio spill -- invoking emergency powers under the Defense Production Act.

California officials say the move defies court orders and state oversight.
Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will sue.
The order escalates a fight over whether federal authority can override California regulators blocking Sable Offshore’s plan to restart the pipeline.

Does anyone know what the `Description` field is used for in systemd's .network files? `networkctl` doesn't seem to show it except in `cat` (which just prints the file itself), and I don't see it in the journal when I call e.g. `networkctl reload` or even `sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd`. Kind of the same question for .netdev files too.

My (Win10) computer just waited for me to take my coffee break to do a forced restart. No asking, no warning, didn't care that I had unsaved documents opened and Matlab running.
I am sick and tired of this. I have already tried all the tricks to pause updates that cause restarts (can't pause forever) and reduce the "active hours" (can't reduce them down to 0).
I want a program that completely stops forced restarts - does that exist? 🙏

Antitrust trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster to resume in New York
More than 30 states will resume their antitrust trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster on Monday after negotiations this week failed to result in many states joining a tentative settlement reached by the Justice Department. Federal Judge Arun Subramanian said at a hearing in Manhattan on Friday that the states had dropped their request to restart the trial in coming weeks with a different jury. Lawyers told the judge that Arkansas, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina and S…

I have a theory that being a too-many-tabs person correlates strongly with how many captchas you see. So if you have 300 tabs open, and then you need to restart your browser and recover your tabs, your computer is hitting a whole bunch of cloudflare (or whatever centralized captcha org) sites at once which raises suspicions. And orgs like cloudflare probably track IP address reputations, almost like blacklists.
Is this on track? Is there anything out on the 'net that might bac…

With a stroke of his pen, Trump made the oil flow on behalf of Sable Offshore 
— oil that hadn’t flowed for 10 years.
It began flowing from underwater oil wells located seven miles out to sea.
It flowed up to what used to be Exxon’s massive industrial plant along the Gaviota Coast.
And, ultimately, it flowed into two old pipelines that caused the 2015 massive oil disaster,
-- pipelines so corroded that Sable had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to patc…

Why Trump’s Order to Restart Oil Production Along Santa Barbara’s Coast May Not Be the Final Word
History shows that in California, the battle over Sable Offshore is still ongoing.

It will be interesting to see how many concessions Trump will make. Because it is clear Trump really doesn't want to restart the war against Iran. It must be a great negotiating position for Iran.
