  • Trump's budget proposes slashing health, education and clean energy programs while growing the military

  • Canadians being impolite? Them's war words from the northern neighbors.

  • Stephen Miller claims Americans likely ‘willing to pay more’ for US-made dolls

    Jump

  • That's an interesting point. When I first read the quote from Trump about 2 dolls instead of 30, I thought he was just out of touch - I mean are dolls still a popular thing in today's day and age? Is he just out of touch?

    But no, there's a reason for the usage of the term. Quite an interesting point, especially considering the demographic that largely voted for him this second election was younger men.

  • Oh gotcha! Your comment made me realize I had Mr. Roger's confused with Bob Ross anyway, and was still wrong 😅. Thanks for clearing it up!

  • Wasn't Mr. Roger's a green beret in Vietnam though? Wouldn't these people idolize that aspect of him?

  • Trump administration takes a step toward defying Supreme Court order

    Jump

  • Genuine question: who exactly would do that? Like I understand their are bailiffs who act as "police" in the courtroom but who would be the ones who physically arrested the Administration officials? The police or other members of the executive branch?

  • US Social Security Administration Shifting All Public Communications to X

  • I feel like that whole concept flew the coop a looong time ago

  • Trump signs executive order on water pressure to ‘restore shower freedom’

    Jump

  • Water regulations are all over the place when it comes to the different states. Sometime in the 90s ( I think it was then ) new regulations were put in place to reduce the maximum allowable water usage per flush of a toilet and the maximum allowed flow of gallons per minute for all plumbing fixtures.

    They were put in place to reduce water waste but many people Trumps age disagree with the regulations due to the effect - like he mentioned - of most showers being limited to x gpm and the perceived change in the resultant shower quality.

    Like most regulations manufacturers just make stuff that passes the most stringent requirments and sell them everywhere, so even if your state doesn't require a 1.5gpm shower head you might only be able to buy 1.5gpm shower heads.

    I think this is what he's trying to change anyway.

  • Maybe that's the plan? Start a trade war that will inevitably lead to a real war? It sets a lot more precedent for the lean on all of the marshal law type powers he's chasing after.

  • I upvoted the post. I just meant to express my absolute lack of surprise at the situation or the news.

    Yes, it's news and yes it should get attention, and lots of it! It's just not at all surprising that mega corporations want to protect the status quo that got them to where they are, whether we like it or not. Nor is it surprising that they will absolutely do everything they can to make us believe what they want us to believe. A few years ago that might have sounded super 'tin-foil-hatty' and this story might have been bigger news, but I'm not sure that's the case anymore.

  • In other SHOCKING news, the sky is blue.

  • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

    Jump

  • Oh wow that's a great explanation, thank you! I have a bit of experience with Ubuntu and a fraction of that with Debian but absolutely no experience with any other Linux distro, so I appreciate your reply!

    I run Ubuntu Server for my home lab and had a RaspberryPi running Debian for a short while as well but it was all CLI so I have almost no experience with the GUI. I was quite surprised to hear about pop ups for Ubuntu Pro.

    I personally found setting up Debian for the Pi to be fairly straight forward and about as difficult as converting an old windows laptop into an Ubuntu Server..server, so they might have made Debian a bit easier to get up and running.

    That being said I can't recall if I got that particular installation specifically for the Pi so that might have an impact there.

    I genuinely appreciate your explanation! :)

  • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

  • Ahh so Mint is kept up to date like Ubuntu/Fedora and doesn't have all the telemetry and pop ups for Ubuntu Pro. Thank you!

  • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

    Jump

  • So out of curiosity, why Mint over, say Debian? Has Debian added telemetry etc as well?

  • Denmark issues travel warning for US

    Jump

  • I think the problem arises when the embassy says it's fine to come, but then the traveling person's are detained or harassed once they arrive.

    There's nothing I'm personally aware of stating trans persons to be outright illegal ( beyond the executive order(?) stating there are only two genders/sexes )

  • I'm not entirely sure he would care either way to be fair, but you do raise a good point.

  • I think you might be right for the simple reason that (based on that same source and my presumption of their names ) all the C* people seem to be American as well.
