I think the other user may be mixing up events in their head. I haven’t seen anything about Proton’s donations but the Proton CEO has publicly made statements that suggested he might be pro-Trump.
Here is a really in depth analysis of his comments that concludes he may not actually be pro-MAGA.
Neurotypical here and yeah my brain often works this way and I believe it does for many others. What’s missing in this vignette are social skills from both parties.
Abruptly shifting topics like that often works better in a conversation with some sort of segue or acknowledgment of the shift: “This is off of that topic but I have a random question.”
The second party could reasonably be confused but when the thought process was explained to them they could have just accepted it and moved on without being denigrating.
So they both just need better social skills is all that I see.
I get what you’re saying but people like Ben Shapiro, Candice Owens, etc have proven themselves to be shitstain propagandists many years ago. Regularly consuming propaganda, even if you know what it is, is not healthy and it does affect you.
If I had to guess, there are probably some valuable natural resources under the ice that are going to become more accessible with global warming. It’s a resource grab. Same thing as trying to get Ukraine’s minerals.
Edit: Yep I should have searched before I replied.
I think that’s the artist showing his hand making the motion of cutting across the throat like people often do to say “stop doing that immediately.”
First thought: This is an Onion article.
Second thought: Oh no. This is a distraction from something terrible the press isn’t covering.
Moreover, Tails 6.15 removes firmware blobs for Broadcom’s aging BCM4301 and BCM4306 Wi-Fi chipsets. The project believes machines carrying those radios are already too old to boot current Tails images; nevertheless, users who see their wireless interface disappear are encouraged to report back.
I’m a parent and I massively struggle with this. I am trying to be completely open and honest in age appropriate way but it’s really hard to do that without it becoming a conversation about how we are all deeply, deeply in for a bad time.
I’m using an RTX 5800 with Nobara and although I can game fine I get multiple graphical bugs in the desktop (parts of windows not fully rendering, flashing artifacts when moving windows, and aliasing artifacts around fonts (yes I’m running the correct resolution). So Ulrich is right, it’s absolutely a problem even on newer hardware too.
It’s easy until it’s not. I’ve got a decent gaming rig and have been running Linux on it since I built it a couple of months ago. Once an update completely broke my sound but the next one fixed it. Otherwise it’s been fine.
On the other hand I set up a Raspberry Pi to be a print server and have been troubleshooting it since Christmas. It will print the first job just fine but subsequent jobs are stuck in the queue until I reboot. I’ve googled endlessly, tried everything I can think of and it just won’t work unless I constantly reboot. Same printer worked flawlessly in Windows 10 for years before I set up the Pi.
So, yeah. YMMV is the problem with Linux.
Language isn’t always about logic. Discussing things in terms of male/female is fine in many contexts but is often done when discussing science or medical topics. Ex: the male pelvis has a different, narrower shape than the female pelvis. It’s also used in situations where people are deliberately ‘othering’ people. Watch any police bodycam footage and you’ll see that cops frequently say “male/female” when discussing non-police individuals.
In daily life, most people use men/women for non-scientific discourse. The women’s restroom. A group of men at the restaurant. Etc.
But here’s the thing. Male/female are used for any species (a male beetle), but man/woman are only used for humans.
Assholes like Tate push a twist in this dynamic so that men are called men but women are called females because it can be dehumanizing to women. When you say female you could be talking about an insect, but a man is human. It’s a succinct example of their philosophy. That’s why people consider it derogatory.
Thank you for sharing this. It is always so good to read the primary source documents for big events in the news and then compare it to all of the journalistic and political spin.
Anything can be used as an excuse by those people if they want, same way that cops can pull you over because “you swerved” and can search your car because “it smells of weed.”
It’s totally a reasonable precaution to have an inexpensive phone that is used for international travel and has no significant personal info on it in the event of theft, loss, or other threats.
Every country in the world needs all the other countries more than all of the other countries need it. There’s just no real leverage, because we’re all interconnected; you can snip one country out, and it’ll slightly hurt everyone, but it’ll *wreck* the country that was snipped out.
This is just such an absolutely perfect summary. I wish we could American politicians to speak this clearly to explain why this is such a bad idea.
He wasn’t taken to a hospital but instead was transferred to another cell where he was found dead seven days later.
I just was thinking about how horrified everyone should feel about this sentence. Like in what planet is it ok to be legally responsible for another person’s safety and not find them dead until 7 days later. Even in situations where you aren’t restricting 100% responsible. Imagine:
“…transferred to another hospital room where he was found dead seven days later.”
“….transferred to another table at the restaurant where he was found dead seven days later.”
I’m so tired, boss.
I wish it was that simple my friend. I’m a medical doctor but unfortunately English is the only language in fluent in. Although many Europeans speak English, and I’m willing to learn other languages, realistically there is no way I will ever be proficient enough to practice medicine in a second language. So my options are pretty limited in where I could go and how many jobs there really are available to me.
Have you tried smiling more?
Maybe. Or the propaganda will have been so successful that nobody will discuss climate change because that’s just the way things are.
