It’s kind of sad that I already envision the Trump-acolyte/Fox News spin on this:

Trump expertly realizes the potential for Alaska to bring America the wealth and prosperity the likes seen in Middle East oil country, while simultaneously slamming Biden for his disastrous and cowardly military withdrawal. What an artful genius!

Another silly bill coming from the clown-show Republican House. I’m really crossing my fingers for a trifecta, so we can get actually useful policy accomplished. Get’er done Americans!

That’s definitely a once in a lifetime experience, I can’t really knock them for the thrill of it.

Little did these folks know Steam is doing a Planes Trains and Automobiles Sale right now to get their big vehicle driving fix.

To pick up some road salt from Windsor, Ontario, maybe? To see the majestic Niagara Falls from the nicer side?

Oh… and the late, great Hannibal Lecter was there giving me a standing ovation…

That’s part of the reason why new community oriented projects are way more interesting to me now than most software. There are some outliers in the space who still have dedicated people in their craft rather than for money but it is fewer and farther between.

Imagine if they pulled that on the idle timeout pause screen too…

Thread 2

2 of the 3 threads that were posted when I wrote the original comment were asking for a direct link to the clip. I don’t think that’s no one. Maybe these users are blocked for you?

Well well well, would you look at that.

A government in Starmer’s words, dedicated to service. A government delivering for Labour, the ruling party’s namesake. The trains will be running again, and the government too, will be running again with much of the Conservative incompetence sacked.

The link everyone’s looking for:

Vance’s statement followed by the supercut of Trump calling Harris a fascist and a number of vile things

Ah of course. Americans tie so much success and personal welfare to employment, that’s the problem! An UBI would help everyone succeed then we wouldn’t be too worried about immigrants /s.

Does the array of ground targets that an A-10 hits start at zero or one?

Welcome to the club!

I really feel this especially related to mobile (cellphone and tablet) communications: (Google Pixel is the only device offering substantial support for alternative OSes, Mobile Payment Processors rely on one of the big names like Google, Apple, Samsung etc., other projects becoming unmaintained and supporting 10 year old phones, etc.)

In the personal (laptop and desktop) computing space we are in a much better place. You are much less beholden to companies’ interest in harvesting data on every aspect of your life.

Sure, we can lament that most people don’t care. But look where we are now: I have daily driven my Linux box for a year to play all the games that are in style with my friends without Microsoft constantly over my shoulder. I’m on Lemmy and other Fediverse platforms, unbeholden to specific corporate policies. I use Beeper which means I don’t have to have Meta apps harvesting interaction behaviour directly on my primary cellphone. I can’t win every battle for my privacy and freedom, but each conscious choice I have that I make is a statement of resistance, and one step of many towards my ideal of the computer world I wish to be in.

I bet Larian is like, “Oh no, Hasbro this is terrible! We locked down the editor best we could, but those conniving hackers broke the protections to make creative custom content for our game. What will we ever do? 😏”

*Trump reveals his latest scam to extract money from his rubes.

FTFY

Haitian mig-r? Lol. Clearly the man is too used to saying the N word off public broadcast.

We should have universal background checks for firearms and a ban on assault weapons like what was used to attack former President Trump!

Oops, I cribbed that from Harris and Walz’s Evil Communist Leftist Campaign.

Now’s the time to pin this stupid bullcrap to Senator Cruz especially, so that he may be unseated this November.

I’m sure that s stands for police union spokesperson.

Honestly, I won’t hold it against IAM leader Holden too much. Boeing would stall and give shitty and completely worthless offers, then at the last minute double the largest point of contention (wage), so it looked fine from the lens of bargaining trade-offs.

Still, the workers are right to put this offer into the trash bin, sending a clear message to IAM leaders they have far more leverage, and to Boeing management that union members have lost all patience for their penny-pinching.
