I am having a bit of a brain freeze here but I would like to install pandoc but I don't want to disable the default steam deck settings to do so even though using pacman on the command line would be way simpler I don't want to fiddle if I don't have to fiddle.

Can I not just download a binary and point Linux towards it? I know this is a silly question but frustratingly I am more familiar with how you are supposed to do this on windows with the $home variable nonsense.

"A video filmed by an Israeli soldier shows widespread destruction in northern Gaza. Before Israel’s genocidal war, the town of Beit Hanoon was home to 50,000 people. Despite a ceasefire, Israeli forces have bulldozed what was left of hundreds of homes."

Just... vile!

"Goodbye, Jim Kirk. I will learn... and watch the lights in the sky... and remember." - Shahna

While attempting to beam down to Gamma II, Captain Kirk, Lieutenant Uhura, and Ensign Chekov spontaneously disappear. No transports, no energy surge or lights, they're just gone. They all come to on an unknown planet in the center of an arena and are suddenly attacked by an assortment of warriors. Just as it seems they will all be killed, the warrior stop and a humanoid called Galt (Joseph Ruskin) informs them that they are now slaves of the Providers and must learn to fight to the death for their masters' entertainment. Spock, now in command of the Enterprise, races to chase the faintest of clues to find out where in the galaxy his shipmates have been taken before it's too late.

Nearly eight million people in South Sudan are at risk of acute hunger as conflict and displacement worsen an already dire humanitarian crisis, according to a United Nations report.

Published on Tuesday, the report warns that 7.8 million people in the West African country will suffer high levels of food insecurity in the coming months — equivalent to 56 percent of the population.

The Food and Agriculture Organization, World Food Programme and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have called on the international community to take immediate action to prevent what they described as an “irreversible humanitarian catastrophe”.

The report states that the number of children aged between six months and five years old who are suffering from acute malnutrition has risen by 100,000 over the past six months, to a total 2.2 million. It estimates that 700,000 children are at grave risk of dying.

No paywall

Japan's imports of high-density polyethylene -- used to make plastic bags and containers for food and detergent -- from China swelled roughly 170% on the year in March and were 20% above last year's monthly average, based on Japanese trade data and Chinese customs data.

Polystyrene, with applications including food trays and parts for home appliances, jumped 76% on the year. Overall imports of major plastic feedstocks from China grew 27%.

After importing no butadiene from China since 2021, Japan brought in 1.97 million kilograms in March. Used in tire production, butadiene is a basic chemical for which it is especially difficult to find alternative sources.

Chinese trade data also showed the first exports to Japan in six and a half years of mixed xylene, a key ingredient in paint thinner, which has been in short supply in Japan.

China seems to be faring better. In addition to its more diversified supply chain for crude oil, it has more facilities that can produce chemical feedstocks from coal or from ethane derived from natural gas. The country is making full use of its coal-to-chemicals capacity, tapping into abundant domestic coal reserves.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates said Tuesday it will leave OPEC effective May 1, stripping the oil cartel of its third-largest producer and further weakening its leverage over global oil supplies and prices.

The UAE’s decision had been rumored as a possibility for some time, as it pushed back in recent years against OPEC production quotas it felt had been too low — meaning it wasn’t able to sell as much oil to the world as it had wanted.

“Having invested heavily in expanding energy production capacity in recent years, the bigger picture is that the UAE has been itching to pump more oil,” Capital Economics wrote in an analysis. “The ties binding OPEC members together have loosened,” it said, particularly after Qatar withdrew from the cartel in 2019.

Regional politics are also likely at play. The UAE has had increasingly frosty relations with Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s largest producer, over political and economic matters in the Mideast, even after both came under attack by fellow OPEC member Iran during the war.

Congress quietly mandated a system in every new car that monitors your body chemistry. By 2026, every vehicle will have DADSS, a device that can refuse to start your car based on what it detects in your breath or skin. The stated goal is drunk driving prevention. But the infrastructure being built is far broader than that. This is the first domino.

In this video, we break down what DADSS actually is, how it works, and why this specific dark pattern matters. We trace the exact same playbook through OnStar's remote kill switches, Apple's geopolitical device disables, and subprime lenders locking people out of their own cars, showing the pattern that plays out every time broad infrastructure gets built around a sympathetic goal. We also get into who benefits financially, what the disability and bias implications look like, and why the data governance framework for this system is essentially nonexistent.

The ruling from the New York-based Second Circuit Court of Appeals is the first in the nation to reject the Trump administration's position that nearly all undocumented immigrants must be detained.
