news@hexbear.net•Mexico has reduced its daily homicide count by 41% over the past 18 months, owing to President Claudia Sheinbaum’s pioneering new strategy for confronting organized crimeEnglish

1·17 days agoThey already do import the water from external sources, mainly the Cutzamala system, which is not quite enough as there are parts of the city that has historically suffered from lack of water supply, like Iztapalapa.
The city is indeed a valley, with an altitud of more than 2k meters above sea level, so meteorogical inversion is a given condicion,
A fix to their issues is to bluntly stop growing (it is expanding), and decentralize the gubernamental institutions there so their related weight can be sparsed along the country, but that is a political debate that may never be opened to discussion
Edit: forgot to mention the heavy rains periods. Being inside a valley, on top of a former lake, and an almost impermeable surface, you can now begin to imagine why the city floods on the rainy season. The sewer system is decades old and in a really bad shape, so the rain mostly has to wait for evaporation (good luck for that during an inversion event)
I am glad not to live there anymore.

4·18 days agoIt is even more complex than that. That land was originally a lake, so the city was built in top of that. Then, the extracted water is hard to replenish due to the permeability be near to 0 as it is now an slab of concrete, and due to the heavy construction density and population, after water extraction the soil gets compressed.
I have around 11k files on my phone’s sdcard, and while the interface is not that polished, Fossify Music Player has been able to handle my library quite ok.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can btrfs snapshots help me recover from botched attempts to follow online guides?
1·1 month agoUsually, under btrfs filesystems containing system data you can get snapshots and rollback flawlessly, but some subfilesystems do not get those snapshots by default, like
/var/logor/home, so you may need to set them up in order to enable snapshots, and manually create one when you start tinkering with your system. You then can revert the full snapshot, or even individual files

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to diagnose a complete system freeze (no REISUB, no mouse/kb, have to hard reset)?
2·2 months agoI sugest you to install/enable sysstat if you have not done that already, and with those metrics you will have some great starting point about what resources may be the culprit next time it happens. It will help you pinpoint if there is a hardware related issue.
Do you have kdump enabled? If so, you can try to force a coredump when the system freezes, so you can uater analyze what the issue is. It is harder to follow this path, as you may need analyzing such dump, but it will help you identify issues not only on the hardware side, but on the software side as well.
Both tools are our bread and butter for RCAs/postmortems
I recently finished Atlantis, and I feel that even it provides closure, ending was abrupt.
Now to SG-U.

Europe@feddit.org•Food firms urge Europe not to ban calling non-meat products ‘sausages’English
1·3 months agoNo milk in the description at all, that’s just for the English.
My point exactly. We need to differentiate between products. An “embutido” is not the same as a “fiambre” for example, even when you find both kind of “salchichas”
Also, this being an EU ruling proposal, it should meet the specs for all members, and english is only a fraction of the official spoken languages
But sure, I guess we all milk nuts every now and then ;) (this i is intended as a light hearted joke, you nuts)

I don’t think it means what you think it means.
That’s the beauty about languages, they evolve with the needs of the populace that uses them.
In this context, no, language does not evolve. It adapts to the way it is being used.
I certainly would not like to reach a point where we must use doublespeak-eske language to communicate with certain people, but it feels like we are heading there.

5·3 months agoA sausage is a sausage, no matter what you stuff inside it
That is limited to english vocabulary I guess. In spanish there are distictions between salchichas, chorizos, longanizas, etc, and all of them are their own kind of “embutidos”. So in spanish, it would make sense to name it “embutido de guisantes”
Similarly with milk. I know you may milk nuts (jk), but not the “frutos secos” kind. How would you milk an oatmeal? A grain of rice?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was the most under rated British TV show ever for you?

From May 2025 to this day, there are 11 months difference. The article says it accountr 18 months, so still 6 months that can be included on the source I shared, and still valid, as studies like this are not updated on a pretty regular basis. Either way, it would be suspicious the trend would show a sudden drop as well.
But I guess no matter what info you are shown, you will still not be sattisfied, right?
