It’s probably worth noting though that the only distro Valve officially supports is the latest Ubuntu LTS running KDE/Plasma, Gnome, or Unity. That doesn’t mean you’ll have problems on other distros – and you probably won’t! – but Ubuntu is the distro they’re testing on. Valve also maintains Ubuntu-specific troubleshooting resources as well.

Incredible news for us! Thanks, Reddit! 🎉

Great news for Loops!

(there’s a little arrested development in the mix too)

Huzzah!

And it wasn’t announced until pretty late that she was. She was teasing it on her podcast like ‘stay tuned, I know serious people with money who are ready to launch something big’

You don’t need to convince me. I’m Fediverse all day every day :)

I’ve never used post and I haven’t heard anyone talk about them in a long time but they were pushed as a big deal after Musk bought Twitter. Kara Swisher and a lot of rich tech bros were trying to convince everyone they were the Next Big Thing around the time of the big wave of migrations to Mastodon.

After each verdict Trump has a 30-day window to come up with cash or a bond to appeal. If he doesn’t meet that requirement they can immediately begin seizing his assets. If he meets that requirement, enforcement will be stayed pending the appeal. He also can’t appeal if he doesn’t meet that requirement. With interest, he needs to come up with close to half a billion to appeal all three civil cases he lost.

I can’t find a complete list, but McCue lists some examples here. These newly-federated magazines are apparently curated by the original 25 publishers in their initial test of federation. You can find the list of those publishers here. You should be able to find the magazines by searching for the publishers on Mastodon. Euronews’ Russia-Ukraine crisis magazine, for example, is:
@russia-ukraine-crisis-euronews@flipboard.com

I was able to follow all the publishers I tried. I also followed a few of the new magazines. Seems to work!

Yep, this obscure weirdo is plainly wrong.

I’m sure that’ll put it all to rest

Interesting. I disagree. Their argument is that impeachment was taken seriously up to the Trump administration and is being trivialized by Republicans since. This sentence makes it clear that they think Trump’s impeachments were serious:

Mr. Trump’s two acquittals made clear that a president could feel assured of keeping his office no matter how serious his transgressions, as long as his party stuck with him, and the impeachment-in-search-of-a-high-crime efforts of the Biden era have been written off as just more politics.

He’s saying that impeachment should have worked but didn’t because of Republicans. As opposed to Republican attempts to impeach Democrats:

Indeed, to the contrary, several Republicans have derided their party’s zeal for impeachment. Whatever his son Hunter did, they note, there is no evidence that Mr. Biden did anything wrong, and the Mayorkas impeachment centers on a policy dispute, not a criminal accusation.

And:

Michael J. Gerhardt, an impeachment scholar at the University of North Carolina, said Republicans were using impeachment not for accountability but for political damage. The pushes to impeach President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas are plainly attempts to make impeachment just another weapon in the partisan warfare of Washington,” he said.

And:

Indeed, it is that sting that may be driving Mr. Trump, who has made no secret of his desire to impeach Mr. Biden and his team as revenge for his own impeachments. “They did it to me,” he said in a radio interview last fall. “Had they not done it to me,” he added, “perhaps you wouldn’t have it being done to them.”

‘Serious transgressions’ vs ‘no evidence of wrongdoing’, ‘partisan warfare’, and ‘revenge’.

It seems clear to me that, like we do, the author sees a fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans. The Republican accusations are actually so frivolous that even the Biden administration themselves aren’t concerned about them.

If anything, I think he’s being too generous to the Republicans that impeached Clinton. I’d argue this is an acceleration of bad faith political theatre that began with Gingrich. It’s something that’s much worse now but not entirely new since Trump.
