    CEO of UnitedHealthcare fatally shot outside of NYC hotel, source says

    Jump

  • I'm relatively sure that the shooter will turn out to be someone who had a loved one suffer and die because they were refused health care coverage. This may turn out to be only the first of similar incidents.

  • National security advisor Jake Sullivan says Biden told him to oversee a 'massive surge' of weapons deliveries to Ukraine before his term ends

    Jump

  • As someone of Ukrainian descent I do. My grandfather fled the Holomodor to arrive in Canada in the 1920s, where he was able to put down $20 and prove out a section of land in a 5 year period to earn title to that land. That said, I am glad you used an actual news source. When I first saw that they were youtube links I was already going, "Oh boy, here we go again with a raging conspiracy theorist," but I was pleasantly surprised that it was DW News, an outlet that plays on my smarthub, along with CBC news.

    That said, you have anything newer than 2 years ago? It would be interesting to learn if there has been any progress on this.

  • You wanna link some of that claim?

  • Harris says ‘of course’ her team is prepared if Trump declares victory before votes are counted

  • Nah, just somebody who was lucky enough to soar with some actual sword masters over the years. I'm no Jill Bearup, but I know which end goes into the other guy.

  • You obviously haven't fought anyone with a sword. And before you ask, yes I have.

  • It's also called being ready for anything. It's what you do when you aren't entirely sure what the idiot on the other side is going to do.

    The world's best swordsman isn't afraid of the second best swordsman. He's afraid of the world's worst swordsman, cause he can never be sure what the idiot will do.

    Same principle.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

    Jump

  • I'm 58, and the only "code" I've ever written is hexadecimal for the Apple ][+ we had back in high school. Which isn't even remotely close to what actual code is. Thanks for the attempt at insult, but it's my reality, so fuck you too.

  • why is this race so close?

  • 45% of American voters will vote for Trump even if every accusation against him is true. 45% of American voters will vote for Harris even if every accusation against her is true.

    It stopped being about issues decades ago. It's about ideologies.

  • Some questions:

    What version of Linux does Fedora install? Is it directly compatible with Windows software such as games and OBS, or does it require modifications/compatibility installations such as WINE? Does it have documented support online or is it a matter of haunting forums and such for when problems occur? And no matter how solid an OS is, I will tend to break it, generally by doing stupid shit, but I will break it. Before putting it back together. Which is generally how I tend to learn software.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

    Jump

  • Frankly, I don't care.

    I'm going to keep using Windows 10, updates or not, until I absolutely have no other choice, hoping against hope that the cracks in the Recall/AI monolith with have spread wide enough that a future Win 12 or 13 won't have them in it. I don't run a business. I don't keep sensitive information on any internet capable devices and my work uses the AS400 system.

    I know Linux is a thing, and about a dozen years ago I spent a year using Ubuntu exclusively. While appreciating the OS, I got tired of chanting magic spells at computer every time I wanted to use software I liked on it, and so went back to Windows.

    These days, despite being a reasonably tech savvy person approaching 60, I'm getting to the point where I'm just not up to learning/relearning an OS unless there is a critical need, and using Windows 10 there just isn't. At least not for me.

  • 'Trump did this’: Supreme Court blocks Biden emergency abortion mandate in Texas

    Jump

  • As a Canadian, I'd like to ask you a couple of things.

    What exactly does it mean to codify something? Two, why can't the Federal Gov put out a set of standards and say, "If you want Federal money for your healthcare systems, you have to meet these standards. If you don't want to, that's fine, but in that case you get get nothing from us."

    That's essentially how it works in Canada between our Federal gov and the Provinces, granted Canadian Provinces are less powerful than American states, but the power of the purse should still be the same, yes?

  • Two reasons:

    1. Ethics
    2. The GOP engaged in a campaign of doing everything, fair and foul, to prevent or at least slow this from happening.

  • Balanced, flexible approach that allows neither capitalists nor the proletariat to have absolute dominance over the other. Is there a system that does this? Tbh, I don't know.

    I do know that end stage capitalism Does Not Work, nor does Communism as we have seen it in the world .

  • Because communist nations always get stuck at the dictator phase and never make it to the part where the workers actually decide thibgs
