At this point I am frankly surprised they bothered to even use a real photo. Half the official posts by this regime have been using AI generated or otherwise doctored BS.

Finally! I really wanted to like Mint, but on multi-monitor setups with different scaling per monitor X11 was really struggling and eating up like 30-40% of my CPU.
How in the fuck is this kind of fuckery legal?


Let me grab a copy of OpenPGP as well while we’re at it.


Oh, shame to read that. It sounded like it had real potential.


Microsoft experimented with oceanic data centers too, and I don’t believe they actually abandoned that project either. It’s just Musk and his ilk are very loud and outsized loudness has a tendency to dominate public discourse.


I am half concerned WoTC forgot the lore in the intervening 13 years since the last book, but they did release the Magic card a little while ago so perhaps they will do something interesting with him again.


Ooh, another Icewind Dale would be amazing. It’s been 26 years.


Mostly broader support for devices in my network. I know providers can still read my network traffic’s SNI but for most common use cases it’s better than nothing. And if I really need the anonymity, neither DNScrypt or a VPN will ever beat a layered proxy network like Tor.


Okay, I suppose nuance is in order here so let’s add some. Örebro partiet used to be hardline leftwing extremist and antifascist, but they explicitly moved away from their political roots distancing themselves from their old ideological convictions under the new party leader.
They have since started explicitly supporting populist and nationalist positions on migration and integration that attract the same kind of latent racist voter base that SD (the much more directly neo Nazi party) rode to fame and election victory.
If I had to classify their overall political identity they’re reminiscent of the NSDAP leading up to their first election victory. They’re in favour of authoritarian rule with both right- and left-wing populist goals such as improved public healthcare and forced remigration or forced assimilation of Muslim immigrants.
Overall your personal mileage may vary, but I’m not okay with my money indirectly supporting a political party that’s contributing to the overall decline of civil discourse and feeding into the hated of migrants and the “us vs them” mindset that’s poisoning society.
[Edit] @ambitiousslab@feddit.uk gave a great breakdown of their migration stance earlier in the thread. I’m just going to say that I’m not okay with ethnic cleansing and leave it at that.


Proton’s owner also gives me the ick with his Trump and the Republican Party praising. I’ll look into it further and see if there are any other good options.
[Edit] I learned that CIRA (Canadian domain name registrar) has DNS over HTTPS support so I’ll be reverting to them. Canadian shield does sound pretty good for a non-profit service without tracking: https://www.cira.ca/en/canadian-shield/


As a Swede - fuck that guy and the fucking Neo Nazis coming out of the goddamn woodwork everywhere. I was all-in on Mullvad, but that’s changing today. Anyone got a good recommendation for a DNS over HTTPS alternative that’s not owned by a racist/Nazi/Fascist asshole?


Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, because that is exactly the mindset the gun lobby has.
[Edit] And are spending their lobbying money on to try and get approved into legislation, I should add.


Unlike Slate, Ford has access to their vast trove of sales information over the past 8 decades from their truck division. I am pretty sure they figured out that a truck at a 30k price point needs to be a crew cab or larger to sell in the volume they need to make it work for them financially.
Unlike Slate, Ford is a business that needs to be profitable in what they do. They can’t start-up style burn through a bunch of investor money to see if a market exists for bare-bones single cab trucks.
As a result I think both may well have a place in the market, and I am excited to see affordability overall coming back into the picture.


He really pumped and dumped Softkey/TLC on Mattel. From $4.2B in 1999 to selling the whole thing off for $27.3M in 2000. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is another one of his “ride the valuation wave” schemes.


You missed the change to add the qualifier “Nazi” to that, so let me correct that real quick: Fuck Musk and anyone that supports that Nazi.
“What happened?” are you for real?
Did you not read any newspaper, watch any news, or generally exist in society since 2016?
First you decided to bazooka yourselves in the foot with the Brexit vote, then went through a revolving clown show of increasingly bizarre political sideshow pieces that pretended to be PM, before finally opting to negotiate an EU exist that was about as disastrous as it could’ve been for your economy.
Add in the fact that the entire world has been turning to shit around you due to despotic leaders trying to rape their neighbours/the climate/populace/actual kids/everything joined by a cabal of evil billionaires who are gleefully destroying democracy and the world economy so they can go out in one final last hurrah of capitalism, and you have the audacity to ask “What happened?”?.
I seriously can’t with these “I don’t do politics” idiots anymore.


Two weeks is literally his long term horizon for anything. Look at how many other things he’s put on that rapidly becoming infamous “two weeks” term.


I’m slowly getting more convinced this administration’s real playbook is to do anything and everything to hurt their own citizens, even if it doesn’t make sense.
Sure, the grift is nice and the money is welcome, but it’s a side effect of their true goals - ruining as many lives as possible.
We’ve all been fooled into thinking they’re rational actors who just value money over their constituents, but it’s getting harder and harder to continue to believe in that line.
I have a very similar setup, and ended up on Fedora as well. I’ll give Mint another go soon though, I still really like the simplicity of Debian’s package management and the design decisions by the Mint team.
