78·5 months agoWorth noting is that among the investors loyal to Trump is Larry Ellison, renowned massive turd of a human being. Just totally coincidentally, his festering dingleberry of a son David Ellison is the person that installed the pro-genocide propagandist Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief at CBS.
Unrelated: Do you ever wonder how tender billionaire flesh is?
This article is poorly written and the terms are confusing, so just to clarify:
- There are TWO “Boards of Peace” floating around in the headlines.
- They were both created by point 9 in the “Gaza peace plan”.
- By “Gaza Board of Peace”, the article actually means the BoP’s Gaza Executive Board. This seems to be what Trump is trying to extort Macron into joining.
- The 60 nations, $1 billion permanent seat cost BoP is the top-level BoP that the Gaza Executive Board is under.
90·5 months agoIf you’re really gung-ho about it, go and ask a Veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan about it and see what they think. If anyone will know about it they will.
My uncle that served in Iraq still wakes up screaming in the night. He’s a shell of the man he used to be. Another vet my age I knew was absolutely erratic after serving. He couldn’t hold a job and ended up homeless and assaulted someone for their spot under a bridge.
My whole family bears the scars of the PTSD from what my grandfather saw from WWII. He also woke up screaming for years afterward.
4·3 years agoYet, we need to continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the women and people demanding the basic rights we take for granted and enjoy every single day.
We must try and save the lives of those sentenced to death by raising the political cost of their executions and making sure that those languishing in prisons are released.
I’m calling on the international community and media to keep shining a spotlight on my country to demand that the regime stops using torture immediately.
When you realize that you should not have smoked before the presentation /s
It is honestly tragic and infuriating to watch elected leaders rot while refusing to stop governing.
2·3 years agoWon’t work. In Texas their God is white.
- Code in Emacs or Jetbrains (depends on language and laptop cpu)
- Run make to build, run, debug, or clean (I like makefiles for documenting basic tasks)
- Commit with git when chunk of work is done
I tend to do everything locally on bare metal. I never liked putting stuff in containers or running a vm.
VS Code is a great editor, though. It actually feels a bit like Emacs.
Next year is going to be fun…
16·3 years agoThank you! Here’s the actual PDF doc of their clarifications and here’s the original DSA
The specific language for number of users is:
average monthly active recipients of their service in the Union, calculated as an average over the period of the past six months
And the definition of active recipient:
(p) ‘active recipient of an online platform’ means a recipient of the service that has engaged with an online platform by either requesting the online platform to host information or being exposed to information hosted by the online platform and disseminated through its online interface;
So you just need 45 million EU citizens looking at a platform to qualify as a VLOP. Amazon probably qualifies, but it would be easy for them to prove they were unfairly discriminated against as well.
Did the EU even define the term “Very Large Online Platforms”? I think this is the bill, but it doesn’t ever define the term. Amazon may be right, purely because the legislators are incompetent idiots.
1·3 years agoIt’s not any battery. They just didn’t do the original manufacturing, so you can find compatible replacements elsewhere.
I bought the System76 Kudu laptop back in 2016, but it is actually a W670RZ model laptop manufactured by Clevo Co. in China (unlike my previous laptop which was a MacBook Pro manufactured by Apple in China). System76 wasn’t the only company selling the W670RZ, so they’re not the only ones you can go to for replacement parts.
The main thing I like is the hardware support. I knew before purchasing that everything would work, and that helped me feel okay dropping a pretty penny on a new laptop. Besides that, I’d say they’re fine. They aren’t designing and manufacturing their own hardware (at least not back when I bought one); the laptops are pretty standard off-the-shelf stuff. System76 just promises that it’ll all work out-of-the-box. I’ve never used Pop!_OS, so I can’t speak to that. Arch and Debian work great, though.
The only negative I can think of is: once the battery started to go after several years, they didn’t have a replacement in their store, but because it’s a generic laptop, there were new ones available on Amazon. It just would’ve been nice to get it from System76.
All-in-all, I’m a happy customer. I’m keeping my eye on Framework, though. The MNT Reform is also interesting. I don’t like how thick it is, but that’s because it uses 18650s for the battery, which would solve the problem of buying a new battery just to find that all the batteries were manufactured at the same time, so there are no working replacements.
Yeah, I have a couple T420 ThinkPads, and for $100 they’re pretty sweet, but they show their age.
I’m relatively happy with my System76, but based on your needs you could get a lot of value from a $500 used ThinkPad on Ebay.
I fully support this. You do you. It’s your computer; you can do what you want with it. Whether you’re using it for work or play, if it’s the way you like it, then it’s not wrong.
But what about Red Lobster’s All-You-Can-Eat Krill Fest?!
