Good mix of usability and learning curve. You will need terminal, but that's never been easier with AI assistants to learn how. Plenty of support for applications or open source workarounds. It also is familiar enough to use rather quickly, but not so much that it feel like a Windows clone. Highly recommend starting with Ubuntu.

If this was the end result, why did we even have a shutdown? Weren’t these subsidies the main sticking point?

Classic Schumer… hold out for nothing.

The thing is, they’re not making any promises anymore. They don’t have to. They don’t answer to anyone right now: not voters, not courts, not Congress. It’s blame Dems for the shutdown, while Trump builds a ballroom at the White House and gets gifted a crown by foreign leaders.

They haven’t had a health plan in more than a decade. Trump has claimed since he came down the escalator he’d be releasing his health plan in “two weeks.” The plan is repeal Obamacare. That’s the only plan.

This. It’s all in preparation for 2026 and if needed, 2028.

Navidrome/Airsonic with reverse proxy is best. There are lots of Android and iOS apps that stream music from you server. Rather than a reverse proxy, you could try connecting via tailscale maybe? I think at minimum, this would require your phone to be connected to tailscale whenever you want to listen to music. Not sure if this would work or be practical.

Nazism isn’t “banned” per se, at least in the U.S. as the First Amendment does not allow for viewpoint discrimination, however repugnant a viewpoint might be. But the First Amendment does not protect against cultural, social, or other forms of non-government backlash for those who support disgusting ideologies like Nazism.

So there is no “banning” that could take place of the Zionist viewpoint, if we were to consider it on par with Nazism. By and large in the U.S., Zionism and Nazism are not seen as equally repugnant viewpoints in the cultural landscape, hence the difference in how supporters of these views are treated. Hope that makes sense.

Ah yes... the guys with masks, guns, the backing of the president, and virtually unlimited federal government resources are a "vulnerable group"

Can’t imagine what Frankenstein interpretation of the law would allow for that. If you believe in the unitary executive, then it should unitary.

That said, Gorsuch in 2019 gave his full throat endorsement of unitary executive in Gundy. Kavanaugh also joined the court at the time and while he didn’t take part Gundy, he later signaled his support of Gorsuch’s take.

Which begs the question… it’s been six years and they haven’t put their money where their mouth is. Maybe they’re ready now — but I agree with you, it’s felt a little like they might be worried about the consequences of what a unitary executive would mean.

Heading to SCOTUS? Gorsuch & Kavanaugh have been drooling for the right moment to declare independent agencies unconstitutional, let alone Thomas and Alito. That’s 4 votes right there.

Classic SLAPP suit meant to silence/intimidate

I might be in the minority here, and I have lost zero sleep over Kirk’s death, but I don’t really want or need Staples/Office Depot workers to decide what should and should not be considered propaganda, and therefore printable material.

Just print my shit.
