Submission + - Basic Rust support merged for upcoming Linux 6.1 (phoronix.com)

The tree has a recent base, but has fundamentally been in linux-next for a year and a half. It's been updated based on feedback from the Kernel Maintainer's Summit, and to gain recent Reviewed-by: tags. Miguel is the primary maintainer, with me helping where needed/wanted. Our plan is for the tree to switch to the standard non-rebasing practice once this initial infrastructure series lands. The contents are the absolute minimum to get Rust code building in the kernel, with many more interfaces[2] (and drivers — NVMe[3], 9p[4], M1 GPU[5]) on the way. The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas: — Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format) — Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts) — Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build — Rust kernel documentation and samples

Submission + - UK's First Nuclear Fusion Plant To Be Built By 2040 (bbc.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: A power station has been chosen to be the site of the UK's, and potentially the world's, first prototype commercial nuclear fusion reactor. Fusion is a potential source of almost limitless clean energy but is currently only carried out in experiments. The government had shortlisted five sites but has picked the West Burton A plant in Nottinghamshire. The plant should be operational by the early 2040s, a UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) spokesman has said. The government had pledged more than 220 million pounds for the STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) program, led by the UKAEA.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service said the project would replace the coal-fired power station site — owned by French energy giant EDF — which is set to be closed this year. Matt Sykes, managing director of EDF's Generation business, said: "We are absolutely delighted that the UKAEA has selected the West Burton site in Nottinghamshire to host the UK's first fusion reactor. "The area has been associated with energy generation for over 60 years. Developing such an exciting new project continues this tradition and has the potential to transform both the region and the UK's long-term energy supply."

The world needs Russian oil. Prices will go up if Russia is unable to freely trade.

The extent that Russia is harmed by this will be far less than the extent that the US and others will be harmed by it.
You imagine a fairyland scenario where Russia is forced to sell at a discount to China. WTF?

Without Russian oil, the world's price for oil will skyrocket. Then Russia can go and say "Hey, Winnie the Pooh, want to buy my oil for the normal price?". Or maybe they just go for the current price minus 10%, still making more money than before while everyone else in the world gets screwed.

You have to be a literal retard to not see that.

To harm Russian oil you have to physically impede them from producing or moving oil. Sanctions don't mean shit when a country is self sufficient and already willing to wage war. You might as well tell Putin he can't attend the prom if he doesn't stop being a meanie.

The mentality you have on display is one of a child completely coddled by modern Western life and oblivious to how things actually work in the world. You have no fundamental concept of war or the reasons countries wage it. At best, you've seen half-assed political occupations (Iraq, Afghanistan).

Here's a spoiler for you: The DNC and media WANT this to boil over into a full-fledged war with Russia. They're begging for it.

No, that's the left.

FACT CHECK: At two inches each, a thousand burgers would not reach one mile high.

An entire article for an idiom. An article decrying the cost (a mere $3000, infinitesimal compared to the usual fare), worrying if it was enough food (it was), and looking down their noses at the whole thing (because it was fast food, which they actually enjoyed).

It's the LEFT that does this shit. And it's the left that accuses everyone else of doing the shit they're doing - from theft to rioting (or "insurrection") to sexism to racism to pedophilia to warmongering and everything else.

Thank you for being a friend.
Traveled down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a cosmonaut.

And if you threw a party,
Invited everyone you knew,
You would see the biggest gift would be from me.
And the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend.

Congress' oversight of the Executive branch.

That's not how anything works.

When the executive and legislative disagree, you go to the judicial. Congress refused to go to court. They knew they were in the wrong and would just lose.

No, it wouldn't have taken years for a decision. It was a clear cut case, and this SCOTUS has been churning out results rapidly.
