Funny to see that Vietnam's timezones are still split in North and South Vietnam in the FreeBSD installer. Saw it before obviously, but now I will apply for an installer change.

To my eyes, this is an act of war by the US upon the nation of Venezuela. (Not to mention the blurring of GPS and the sinking of boats by the US.)
If indeed a state of war now exists (to borrow a phrase from FDR's speech to Congress after Pearl Harbor) then Venezuela could be anticipated to wage war against the US - endangering US people (including tourists) everywhere in the world.

Exactly one year before Dr King was assassinated, on 4 April 1967,
he gave his famous “Beyond Vietnam” speech at Riverside church in New York City.
More than 3,000 people were in attendance.

It also put King at …

Climate action is finally moving from promises to practice. The Global Implementation Accelerator is bridging the gap between national climate plans and real-world results.

The breakthrough? Aligning business needs with national climate goals creates wins on both sides.

This technology is now a key part of China’s push for global influence, as it provides cash-strapped governments cost-effective, if invasive, forms of policing — turning algorithms and data into a force multiplier for control.
