Americans never change, huh? It's 1774 all over again (in which Americans got so salty about people speaking French that it contributed to them choosing revolution) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_Act

I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even know we had reserves...

I feel very strongly against us being the 51st state -- I'll literally lay down my life before I let it happen -- but I don't think this should be illegal or banned. If this bothers you, vote with your wallet.

The article should mention whether or not this would affect their sovereign wealth fund, and if so, in what fashion... Not to mention how EU environmental regulations may affect what is essentially a petrostate.

Life expectancy is calculated based on people born at the time of the survey.

Wow, 86 in Madrid! Impressive.

We're already starting to see astroturfing on Reddit, and I'm sure there's more on other platforms I don't use. Facebook must be even more of a cesspool than usual right now.

The american elite managed to convince ordinary americans that evil foreigners are to blame for all their problems.

No they didn't. Millions of Americans already believed this and were waiting only for permission to externalize it.

The night before the presentation, she said she got a call from the vice chair of the education department who had raised concerns with the contents.

A couple of the slides in her presentation touched on the casualties in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war as well as the cuts at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Liu said she was told the slides about Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic” while the USAID section might be perceived as “anti governmental.”

Liu, who was already in New York when she got the call, offered to make edits to those slides but then three hours later, after some deliberations, she said the university apologized and said they had to cancel.

It's appalling to see how quickly American higher ed bent over for the fascists. Why would anybody study there? Come to Canada or the EU instead.

What did PP do for work before politics?

He worked at a call centre during university but literally never had a full-time job outside politics. Unfortunately for him he hasn't been able to leverage that extensive experience into having good political instincts or any semblance of charisma.

If anything, they haven’t condemned our fascist government enough. I think they’re still largely in shock.

There's no sense in pointless bluster. Much is happening behind the scenes.

 

Good interview with Geddy about his autobiography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHkvpWMTuUI

 

Just picked one up. This is the best price I've seen this year. Very strange monitor but awesome for work - it even serves as a USB-C docking station with 90W power delivery.

 

Please forgive the noobish question, but what's going on with a document converter that it gets such frequent updates (and by extension forces a ton of Haskell updates)?

 

Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn't have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

 

RESOLVED: it was caused by the app being flatpak. use Flatseal!

I have a network drive mounted to my computer (PopOS). I have read & write access to everything in the drive and can drag and drop files between two Nautilus windows, but if I try to drag a file from the network drive into an email for example, I get a popup about file permissions. Is it because flatpak apps don't inherit my user permissions?

 

I've been using Linux on and off for about 15 years, but was never able to make the leap to using it full-time until PopOS. It's been painless to use and does everything I need with only minor tweaks. Thank you System76! I can't wait until the Cosmic DE is released.

(too bad about the name, though...)

 

(apologies in advance if this isn't the right community for this question)

I've been flirting with Linux on and off for about 15 years and I think I'm ready to make the switch mostly full-time. I use a laptop for work and have a Microsoft 365 plan with email and such. I need to replace that with something Linux-friendly and would much prefer something that works with a desktop email client. Easy syncing of email, contacts and calendar to Android is a must.

Proton seems like it might be a good option but the privacy features aren't a huge selling point for me so I'm open to other options!

Chris (Foo Fighters guitarist) did a great job here. Nice interview with some gear and history insights by Alex and a breakdown of the Limelight solo.

I prefer the tracks off the previous album – more atmospheric – but this is still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsN-v7pvUVA
