Even if he didn't realize what the symbol was when he was 19 in 2004 or whatever, I don't think there is any way in hell you could live two more decades, especially in politics, and never find out.
It's the same script from the DOGE shit all over again. As wrong as that was, those guys were actually like 19. It looks a lot more ridiculous when you're defending 30-year-old neo-nazis
Trump still hasn't invoked the Insurrection Act, which means troops under federal command can't act in a law enforcement capacity. For whatever reason this is a line he won't yet cross despite all his bluster.
For the first couple hours after it happened the chuds were of course recklessly speculating that it was a Black guy or Muslim because of the proximity to Detroit. But in reality, military veterans have a long record of violent attacks like this
Joe and Kamala actively took part in the Gaza genocide for a year and a half. They chose to provide the bombs to the IOF in violation of the law and ethical standards. She refused to break with the Biden administration in the slightest, saying that she wouldn't do anything different, and cozied up to republican war criminals like the Cheneys. How isn't she "directly responsible" for any of this?
I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with having a minimal UI for the Gnome apps, although it does limit how powerful they can be. But the dropdown menu is a very efficient use of space, so is the traditional MATE/KDE/Windows window list, I don't think there is really anything to be gained from hiding these behind another click. There's also the fact that if you're using any powerful programs (photo editing, video editing, 3D modeling, or even a fully-featured media player or office suite) those programs are necessarily going to have a dropdown menu regardless of what toolkit they are built with. So now you have two flavors of programs on your computer, those with dropdown menus and dense UI, and those with hamburger menus and white-space-heavy UI. Personally, I'd rather just have dropdown menus (and dense UI) for all programs for consistency.
I'm not really a Gnome hater or anything, to me it just seems like a less efficient way to use your computer at the benefit of having a shinier UI. It makes perfect sense for those who aren't big computer people and just want something simple and phone-like, but most people are already familiar with Windows-like conventions such as min-max-close, taskbar, start menu, etc. I appreciate their adherence to standards and doing things "the right way", I just don't really get why they think a desktop benefits from a phone UI.
Wayland is good, I don't fault Gnome at all for that. To their credit, GTK programs are visually consistent. But I don't like using their DE, it looks like a phone/tablet UI shoehorned into a desktop use case. Too much white space. They hid the File, Edit, etc. dropdown menu inside the hamburger menu, and also hid the window list/dock. There's no "tray" for programs you want running but out of the way like messengers, file share clients, and music players. You can't have files or widgets on the desktop, it has to stay empty for some reason?
Either the app toolkits themselves have to make an effort to fit in different environments that they choose or they look off.
It's entirely possible for Gnome to apply a Qt theme to Qt apps, it's been a while since I've used it but they haven't in the past. KDE applies a matching GTK theme to GTK apps. There's still the difference that Qt apps retain the File/Edit/etc dropdown instead of putting it in a hamburger menu. And it's generally better that way. Any sufficiently powerful program, even GTK ones such as GNU IMP retain that menu too, the hamburger is too limiting.
Seems like a no-brainer to reconfigure some HMMWVs rather than buying something new, but what do we know? For the purpose they're using this for you wouldn't need any more bulletproofing than against 7.62×51/54mm, certainly a hell of a lot better than no protection. The first one you showed is based on the newer M1151 variant that's built for armor (2004-present), I'm sure they have tons of these to work with in addition to all the older humvees that didn't have armor when they were made.
A bigger M1117 Guardian wouldn't be bad in hindsight, but the US only has the 4-seaters in relatively small numbers and they're on the expensive side for a transport vehicle. Seems like everything the US Army goes for has a huge expense and bloat problem between the matvee, the canceled M10 "light" tank and the Strykers.
