This is especially handy on immutable Linux distros like Bazzite in cases where your provider’s client is only officially available as a .deb or .rpm and you don’t want to get in to layering.

CBC’s article brings up another questionable aspect of this:

NoJetsTO, a citizen group that opposes the province’s plans to take over Billy Bishop airport from the city’s jurisdiction to allow jets to land at the island airport, alleged in a statement the province’s move coinciding with the Challenger 650’s purchase isn’t “a coincidence.”

“For eight years Premier Ford has not said a single word about the island airport, and suddenly he’s hell bent on expand the airport to allow him to fly Gravy Plane jet from there," Chair Norm Di Pasquale said in the statement.

“Ford continues to make decisions affecting Torontonians with the sole focus of him being able to get to work and his fundraisers across Ontario faster.”

They think Trump nominating someone she fired is going to embarrass her? Have they forgotten the stuff about her husband already? This is nothing compared to that.

It might have been nice to have Mint 23 out closer to the totally-for-real-this-time end of Windows 10 updates in October, but it takes as long as it takes, I suppose.

The articles says Mint 23 will include “Cinnamon 6.7-unstable”, and I hope that’s just what it currently is, and not that it’s expected to still be unstable in December.

It was Fanta, actually. “Fresh squeezed,” apparently.

Wikipedia has Zardoz in 2293. I’d say it got mixed up with Star Trek for 2263, except there isn’t quite anything set then yet, with TOS starting in 2266 and SNW only up to 2261 or 62 so far.

ArcelorMittal donated European steel for Trump’s ballroom

According to a report by the New York Times from earlier this week, two people familiar with the White House ballroom plans said the steel was made in Europe by ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg-based steel manufacturer.

Last October, the president said he received a “generous” offer of steel worth $37 million—but did not mention where the steel was coming from. According to the same Times report, shortly after the donation, the White House agreed to revise its tariffs in a manner “that could benefit ArcelorMittal, by cutting in half the tariffs applied to exports of automotive steel from its Canadian plant.”

“Effective immediately, the ​United States Navy, the Finest in ​the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING ‌any ⁠and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” said Trump, who is strongly opposed to the ​idea of ​Iran charging ⁠ships a toll to pass through the strait.

“I have also ​instructed our Navy to seek and ​interdict ⁠every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one ⁠who ​pays an illegal toll ​will have safe passage on the high seas,” he ​said.

Pretty sure what Trump is opposed to is him not getting a cut of the toll.

Israel: We’re not included in the ceasefire
Iran: You sure about that?

Ceasefire also includes Lebanon, Israeli news site reports

Israel’s Ynet is reporting that the ceasefire also includes Lebanon.

Citing security sources, the website said the ceasefire includes both Israel and Hezbollah laying down their weapons. It did not provide further details.

Israel is onboard with the ceasefire, too. Haven’t they done a fair bit of firing during the Gaza ceasefire(s)?

Accounting for patches will also be interesting, especially for newer games that are still working their way towards a decent state.

There has been speculation that he’s going to retire after the Supreme Court’s current term so Trump can appoint a replacement before midterms. One supposed sign is that Alito has a memoire coming out just after the Court’s next term begins, and the justices usually do their book releases between terms so they can promote them without court getting in the way.

The site’s British, maybe this is the King’s English?

The term virtue signaling refers to an annoying moral peacocking that has less to do with politics than with self-gratification. It’s the dinner guest who feels compelled to comment on the climate impact of every course. It’s the guy who annoys his colleagues during meetings with constant bits of civic guidance.

But Donald Trump and his administration have embraced the Mirror Universe version of virtue signaling. They’ve pioneered the practice of “vice signaling,” or saying insulting or odious things both as attention-seeking behavior and as a way of showcasing their supposedly transgressive political views. They aim to demonstrate strength by being willing to appall other people, much as schoolyard bullies insult their classmates to gain the approval of other bullies. It’s the same peacocking, but with uglier feathers.

I did not expect Star Trek’s Mirror Universe to come up in an Atlantic article about politics.

There’s more than one oil price:

Oil prices also rose sharply, with U.S. crude topping $100 a barrel and global Brent crude at approximately $114 at around 4 p.m. ET.

Brent crude went above $100 early, but US crude just got there.

Whatever they may have gotten passed in the Senate, calling it a win before it’s made it through the House is premature.
