I’ll believe it when I see it. Also, he’ll just do it anyways, so I’ll believe it when something occurs to actually and concretely block that from happening. Because Congress has as much backbone as a sea cucumber at this point.

It is utterly beyond my comprehension how PG&E hasn’t been taken over by the state of CA and run as a public service.

Fortran. Not even close to being a question.

While i agree that that’s the best outcome we can hope for, you’re kidding yourself if you think the American electorate is not going to find a way to consistently fuck things going forward.

Oooh wow sure would be a shame if someone replaced all those proprietary screws with torx or something 😏

Man, the whiplash from NZ’s government over the last 5-6 years is just wild.

The DOJ is now led by people who are 100% all-in on the orangeboi cult, so there’s going to be 0 consequences whatsoever

You could have just not said anything and left the matter ambiguous, I guess you simply had to announce to everyone that you’re an asshole.

Setting aside the legal probability of the matter: it’s my staunch belief that whether or not he actually killed the guy (and I remain categorically unconvinced on that front), Luigi did nothing wrong.

Which is really deeply ironic, considering the first campaign that made a real name for the USN and the USMC outside of the revolutionary war (as well as the first major campaign outside of the “new world” - that is, very far from the continental US) was against Ottoman Tripolitania, when we stoped paying them bribes that were effectively protection money so they wouldn’t pirate US merchant ships. Hence the lyric: “to the shores of Tripoli” (from the USMC anthem).

As to the choice between gnome and KDE (desktop environments): Gnome is gonna have more of a ‘macOS’ vibe, while KDE is more of a ‘Windows’ vibe.

They should also be dropped because they are a MASSIVE corporate owner of residential properties, and as such, are a direct contributor to the significant difficulty that anyone younger than a boomer has in trying to buy a house or apartment.

They deserve far, far more than that, but I guess we can start with that.

AI slop

And there we go. Knew they’d try it sooner or later.

I genuinely do not believe the situation to be recoverable - rewriting the constitution in this day and age, with the insanely partisan politics and fascistic idiocy on full display, juxtaposed with a corporatist, neoliberal “opposition party” that conducts zero meaningful opposition is frankly a non-starter.

And even if it was possible: I don’t want a constitution sponsored by Comcast and Exxon Mobil and Amazon and Meta and X and Palantir and so on. Which, I’m sure, is probably in the plan somewhere.

Well… yes and no. Judges can and do blatantly ignore law and impartiality. To wit: Judge Cannon, who successfully completely stymied any meaningful prosecution of orangeboi, in a series of legal decisions that were overtly partisan and biased.
