Could be accurate if (lol) they’re doing something that a properly empowered FTC/SEC/DOJ would be very interested in looking into.

He does not hold the cult of personality though. Trump has “dear leader”-level adulation among MAGATs, Vance has nothing close to that.

Not millions, but Trump’s Covid response has been linked to nearly 60,000 excess deaths

it is, but the question is more like “someone has made a claim online that sounds scandalous! Do you a) immediately reply with your assumptions, or b) find sources and gather information about the claim before responding?”

with so many Windows programs being just PWAs these days, running everything in a browser is really no different anymore.

IT probably has tools to manage policy on Mac and Windows, but have not set anything up for Linux and as a result cannot manage your computer.

I remember having to memorize some amount in like grade 10 science, I think the first 10 were required - but only the name, symbol, and in order. We didn’t have to memorize any of the other details and on tests we either had a full table to work from or the test would provide the relevant information for the elements needed.

I think the memorization part was more a brain development excercise for kids, every class had some sort of “memorize these few things” up until grade 12 or so.

Good to know, I’ll check that out tonight, thanks!

I’ve been running Fedora for a few weeks and if I update it every time there’s updates available, I’d be rebooting nearly daily, because it insists on rebooting for “system packages”, where debian and even Arch based distros did not require restarts for most things… I’m not even using an immutable version of Fedora

That’s one of many things I find batshit insane about the US election process - the fact that there’s a months-long period after the votes are counted and a winner declared that the losing president is STILL PRESIDENT and can just do whatever they want FOR NEARLY THREE MONTHS!

AOL disks were great when they were sending out floppies… free disks!

Because they’re totally doing great and thriving under the current regime right? I’m not disagreeing that the Democrats need to go through substantial change, but the simple fact is that they are still the better choice compared to the dumpster fire that’s going on right now.

At least there’s still time to get good candidates on the ballot, and Mamdani has shown that a truly popular progressive has a chance to get past the establishment and win, hopefully more will follow that lead.

That still fulfils the offsite requirement of 3-2-1, so you’re still good there. If you both have a NAS, then you can be each other’s “cloud provider” as well.

Which is the reason for the local backup on my NAS - which is also in a RAID 5 configuration and can survive one drive failure with no loss of data, as well as the copies stored on the original devices. There would need to be a series of unfortunate events for me to lose everything.

Cloud storage allows normal people to better realize a proper 3-2-1 backup strategy though, since it facilitates offsite storage.

That being said, my very important stuff is backed up to more than one cloud provider, just in case.

It’s been my experience that workers have no issue speaking up, but because there’s no union, it just becomes disorganized noise and can be easily ignored.

Interesting analogy because either way they’re hiding behind you, letting you be in harm’s way first…

Officially we’re down to three, and the trend over the last decade is not promising:

or invert it… Nightmare Town is named because the founder had a nightmare the first night after establishing camp there, and nothing else. Susan’s Hamlet, though had some real fucked up shit happen, is actively haunted and is the birthplace of the BBEG.

Westminster-style parliament is far less “winner takes all” than the US system though. We don’t even really have an executive branch in the sense that the US does, and we have many more levers that can be pulled to topple an abusive government - including by royal decree.

In the US, if an official needs to be removed, they have to be impeached and convicted by their peers, after which they are removed and depending on what their position/home state/etc, they may leave a vacant seat or have a replacement appointed until the next elected. However in the case of the president, there is a clear line of succession, and it it virtually guaranteed that everyone in that line is ideologically aligned.

In Canada, there is a recall process that is initiated by the voters as a petition, put to a vote by the people, and if successful, that person is immediately removed and a by-election is called.

In the US, if the government can’t pass a budget, it shits itself and shuts down. In Canada, if the government can’t pass a budget, parliament is dissolved and there’s a new election - but everything else just keeps running based on the last successful budget.
