Russia blowing up the Nova Kakhovka dam is an incomprehensible war crime. Among other things, it drains water from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, water that is needed for cooling. They are trying to generate a widespread disaster.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I think I understand NATO’s hesitation, but at the same time if this drags on and on for years then it causes massive loss of life and is even more dangerous for everyone. If that nuclear power plant melts down, whether because Russia causes it directly or because of an “accident”, then all of Europe can be blanketed with fallout. The longer this goes on, the more likely that possibility (and worse ones!) becomes.
That is scary to be so close to Russia. I hope you’re doing OK.
I have used Linux for most my life, and it hat been my daily driver for nearly two decades now. I have been bugged recently how when I exit the terminal buffer has not been cleared leaving whatever contents available to the next user to view.
a quick man zsh I found the STARTUP/SHUTDOWN FILES, and then a quick search on resetting the termianl buffer led me to <esc>c or printf "\033c".
In five minutes something which has bothered me for who knows how long was resolved. Just needed some motivation to figure it out.
