Most people don't listen with the intent to understand what you are saying but they listen with the intent to reply.

Let that sink in, for that is the root cause of most failed conflict resolution cases.

Are you a good listener? Read the above again and be honest

UNESCO:

United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

- Is a specialized agency of the United Nations.

- It was founded in 1945 and is headquartered in Paris, France.

- Aims to promote world peace and security through international cooperation in education, the sciences, and culture.

What it means for the UNESCO the USA withdrawn?

Besides the obvious, which is the funding (being USA the highest contributor), it signifies a shift in the dynamics of international cooperation in education, science, and culture, with potential long-term effects specially in global initiatives.

For now it will mean less influence from USA in the spheres of education and science, Why? Because money talks...

LOL!

Being there myself so many times, it is sad but true...

I am forecasting a change soon thanks to LLMs, tech savvy markets like China, India and Russia are loaded with excellent engineers and enthusiasts that will for sure leverage LLMs power and come with alternatives, perhaps optimizing current kernels, perhaps making one from scratch more intelligent and compatible.

But the problem your friend has is the same one as usual, running a laptop with proprietary close source HW always will be an issue with Linux or any other new OS...

Solution:

Sucks but for laptops:

Get a USB Bluetooth 5.0 dongle

Get a cheap 2K BT web cam or USB (I prefer BT)

A USB hub with two slots (small not to bother)

All will work, but is not pretty nor ideal. This solution overcomes the propiertary HW issue most people have with their PC, specially those with the POS "Intel", avoid buying that garbage anytime you can, AMD is a better solution, for now...

Trying to get a non tech savvy friend to swap from Windows to Linux ... great timing since Windows is discontinuing support for W10

Massive failure LOL!

His conclusion, this sucks, f$#& that 🤣

well, I tried...

External keyboard didn't work, web cam didn't work. I told him, let's fix that, it will be fun to troubleshoot a and solve the issue... He look at me and said, Are you F.. kidding me, is 2025, this Linux thing have been around over 30 years and from the box can't get a web can and a Bluetooth keyboard, F.. that! 🤣

I don't blame him, Linux, after 30 years is not a ready product for the masses, sad but true...

Good it was using external USB drive for testing, I hope he remembers how to re enable secure boot from the BIOS, LOL!

📰 🇪🇺 Germany announced 125,000 industrial job cuts in 6 weeks

A WSWS report from September 15, 2025, explicitly states that "in the six weeks since June 30, 2025, German corporations announced the elimination of more than 125,000 jobs. This aligns with an EY study showing ~245,500 industrial jobs lost since 2019, accelerating in 2025, and broader surveys indicating over a third of German companies planning cuts this year. The figure encompasses automotive, steel, rail, and related sectors, driven by weak exports to China/U.S., EV transition costs, and competition from Asia.
