Proprietary stuff like snaps mostly.

Mint is Ubuntu with the icky stuff removed and an additional layer of polish added on top.

In the literal sense.

Investors have lost millions of dollars, not due to the vagaries of the market, but due to Skum’s outrageous behavior, like throwing up celebratory Nazi salutes on national TV

They lost millions, you say? I took a look and since Nazi Salute Day the value of Tesla has dropped on the order 500,000 million dollars.

This is something people around the world need to understand.

All the developed countries with plummeting birth rates should be actively competing for citizens.

Though for non-US nations they are already getting some help from our self-imposed brain drain.

Wow, imagine how rich he could be if he did that!

Every once in a while I will try something like degoogled chromium because hey it’s probably a bit faster or works in a few more places.

But then nope, right back to librewolf. It works on everything I need it to work on, and I use the browser all day. I use Linux at work so all the Microsoft suite like outlook, teams, and onenote are webpages.

Stock price is net worth, which is what rich people care about.

Monthly income can just come tax-free in the form of low interest loans against the value of the stock.

He slew two white whales in the same building!

Looking at it like a team sport is pretty silly, yeah, but I’m still willing to use Steam just the same. No billionaire or successful corporation is “my” people, but doing business with the ones that are decent to their customers seems fine.

Gaming generally involves paying money for proprietary software anyway, so that’s not a realm where the existence of any DRM is a showstopper for me personally. Any per-game DRM with heinous kernel-level shit such that it won’t run on Linux at all, that stuff is fine to just not exist in my world.

The performance of Jellyfin is so much better in my experience. That and the FOSS benefits won me over quickly, and I have had a lifetime Plex pass for years.

The downside is that you have to do a little IT work if you want to share with family in an easy (for them) way and use https. For sure, it’s a thing, but for me as a non web dev it was worth it.

Now I can give family and friends a URL, login, password, and one or more app suggestions depending on their device and type of media. And all of them seem to have snappy performance while not showing my people ads or hitting them up for paid services.

From what I’ve watched & read, it’s usually depicted as the freeze plug melts and the liquid salt flows into multiple small holding tanks below it. That way the fuel mass will be physically separated, which helps stop fission on top of any other mitigations like lining the containers with neutron absorbers, etc.

Make Memes Analog Again!

Yeah it primes the minds of the conservative base to blindly accept that protesters = civilly disobedient = doing illegal stuff = criminal = bad other = subhuman barely worth your contempt.

I’ve said this before, but being an elected politician should be treated as a position of service, not of status and excess. If you want the office for the right reasons then having some downsides to taking the power should be no big deal.

colossal bureaucratic failure

Failure, feature, who’s to say?

It’s not just the kids’ cell phones. It’s the 24 hour outrage and fear driven by the news and/or social media. So their parents won’t encourage them to wander off, and as others have mentioned the neighbors will call the cops on them if they do wander.

Mint is Ubuntu with the icky proprietary Canonical stuff removed and with an extra layer of polish.

Mint Cinnamon even has a windows-like desktop/taskbar-like setup out of the box. I don’t know of any reason I might recommend somebody replace windows with Ubuntu rather than Mint.

Well, considering I’ve read complaints for years about how it’s legal for Congress to insider trade, and how we’ve all seen Trump get away with dozens of existing financial felony convictions plus having nuclear secrets laying around in the shitter, in very much doubt anything will happen regardless of how criminal it was.

But if it ends with more sycophants in his orbit behind bars, then I guess that’s still a positive.

Yeah, that’s the unfortunate truth. He can destroy lives, destroy our standing in the world, destroy our natural resources and climate, and betray to his heart’s content. But once he starts messing with the slope of rich people’s lines, that’s when I can see his own side get ready to remove him from office.

Headlines like this, man. On one hand, good, I always like to see people thinking clearly and basing their thoughts on, you know, observations of the world.

On the other hand, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? It took until April 2025 for them to fear that he’s not acting rationally but rather on ideology? And these are people who see themselves as fit to manage other people’s money!
