Somewhere in there there’s a step “come up with the most sociopathic business plan possible.”

Who cares? It’s not as if the dipshits who need to hear it would know the difference anyway.

If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that’s it.

Granted this is a best-case scenario, but the salary for profs at my alma-mater (a public tier 1 research university) are public and I looked one of them up once. He was getting well into six-figures for teaching classes.

I’ve been buying a bunch of camping/backpacking gear recently, including a couple of water filters and a bunch of freeze-dried meals I found on clearance at Costco (assorted 10-pack box for $10, or $1/meal!). I tell myself it really mostly is for camping (especially since my kids are getting into cub scouting), but I’d be lying if I said the possibility of bugging out wasn’t also at the back of my mind.

I also built myself a new computer recently, and went for small-form-factor instead of a normal tower case just in case I need to move on short notice/with limited ability to bring belongings. I’ve also been simultaneously waffling between trying to fix a bunch of stuff on my house so that it’s in good saleable condition and hesitating to spend money on stuff that can’t be easily moved. It’s a weird feeling.

To be fair, not considering unicode support a priority is a pretty damn English-language-centric attitude.

It is this or bloody revolution and that would lead to the US being invaded by multiple other countries and shit getting worse and worse.

No other nations are going to be invading the US, let alone multiple of them. They don’t have the logistics for it.

That’s the sort of stuff that should’ve made the city refuse to issue a certificate of occupancy. Where was the building department inspector in all this‽

You if bugs didn’t exist:

(Grasses are angiosperms and rely on bugs to reproduce.)

There is no such thing. If you think Gates, Buffet, or Cuban is on your side, you’ve fallen for the propaganda.

That sounds less like clickbait and more an object lesson in the importance of copyleft to me.

The only danger is if one of them pulls an RFK and drops lastinute to endorse the other.

100% chance, IMO.

I’m disappointed that Pornhub is apparently capitulating instead of blocking access entirely in protest, like they’ve done in other jurisdictions.

I mean, sure, that’s very funny, but please don’t help feed the right-wing lie falsely equating democratic socialism with communism.

That’s a bad idea because you have no clue if any random .deb file is actually compatible with your system or not (a .deb intended for use on Debian Bookworm will not necessarily work on Ubuntu 25.04, or vice-versa, for example). And that’s on top of the security issues and lack of dependency resolution that others have mentioned already. If you’re new enough to Linux that you don’t feel comfortable with the terminal, you should not be trying to install things via .deb file to begin with.

Apparently, Atlanta is doing it.[1]

I’m an Atlantan and this is the first I’m hearing of it. Neat!

Reading the article, though, it’s really just that the city is subsidizing a private business (and in one of the two cases, acting as its landlord) in order to create an incentive to open in a food desert, not actually getting into the business of operating a grocery store directly itself.

I mean, I got a loan from Invest Atlanta to help with the down payment on my house, but that doesn’t mean the city owns my house or that it’s some kind of ‘government housing.’

My fiance is a K cup.

Eww, how can you stand to be with someone that consumerist and wasteful? You should dump her for a French press. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

EVs were a political issue long before Tesla was a thing. It goes all the way back to the GM EV1 and “Who Killed the Electric Car”.

This move was stupid and will probably serve no one.

Every terrorist attack not prevented by the brain-drained FBI etc. will be used as an excuse for Trump to tighten the screws of totalitarianism.

The headline misspelled “persecuting.”
