One of my co workers at Disney did this, I've never tried it but every time I walked past their car with the cookie pan in the windshield I thought it was brilliant.

Someone on Lemmy is hosting a Trade Wars 2002 BBS, I think I've got the post saved if you're interested.

I think right now all of the Kindle e-ink devices can be jailbroken to be less restrictive, so if you have sources for DRM-free ebooks (Baen and a few other publishers and sites sell them) they're a lot easier to use on the device you already have.

No, that's Florida.

SulMatul has a fantastic playthrough of the game if anyone is interested in experiencing the game without having to actually play the jank, otherwise it's on GOG and Steam and you'll probably want the restored content mod.

Even all the way back in 2021, an internal study by Twitter — as X used to be called before Elon Musk bought and rebranded the platform — found that its algorithms promote more right-leaning content than left.

(Except from article cited in above paragraph):

Twitter’s research said that Germany was the only country that didn’t experience the right-leaning algorithm bias. It could be related to Germany’s agreement with Facebook, Twitter, and Google to remove hate speech within 24 hours.

Huh. Sounds like things got really bad quickly for German Twits. Did the hate speech policy get rescinded when Musk took over? Also, I wonder if TikTok got worse after whatever deal they made to keep operating in the US - anecdotally I've heard US feeds have been pushing more alt-right content since then.

Timberborn is awesome. I play on the stable release (non-experimental branch) through Proton experimental and it runs about as well as it did under Windows. I'm running Bazzite (Fedora) though so my system is much more up to date than Debian, but I bet one of the awesome nerds here could help you get it running on Debian.

Proton DB page for the people smarter than I am, lol

I don't think it's just debt. Everyone already knows Trump doesn't pay his debts and he's spun it into a show of strength.

Musk has Trump's Twitter messages. His connections with Epstein might be able to bring him down, and he's dumb enough to brag about horrific things in Twitter DMs, I wonder if he actually did?

Maybe check your local Craigslist or e-waste recycler? Someone on Craigslist near-ish me has a 10" Dell Inspiron laptop for $25. There's also a HP mini 110 that the seller is asking way too much for, lol.

That size of laptop/netbook has kind of fallen out of fashion and it seems to be touchscreen tablet-likes in that size now. You'll want to keep build quality in mind with the older machines because a lot of stuff is soldered together at that size and age, I had a HP Stream 11 and the hardware recently failed - it was e-waste when I bought it but it ran Linux well until it died.

Thinkpad made 10" models?

... I found the Thinkpad 10, which is a tablet computer and a bit ridiculous for OPs intentions (or mine, for that matter, I'm looking for me too, lol).

Edit: the comment I'm replying to didn't mention size when I replied.

That secret service protection, for one. Trump's pulled protection from John Bolton and others. Maybe because he was VP it might be harder legally for Trump to revoke it, but is there anyone still enforcing laws anymore?

Thank God for Mississippi.

Unless you have the misfortune of teaching middle school. If the kids loathe you, you're still doing something wrong though.

Bazzite has been great for me. Bluetooth, Nvidia GPU, controllers, Bluetooth controllers all worked out of the box, and it's based on Fedora so you get all of those perks, and the rollback feature, which comes by default, works (to an end user) rather like timeshift (I think - it lets you return to the previous working configuration if an update has a problem, which admittedly did happen to me recently, I just rolled back and waited for the devs to fix the problem the next day, lol).

It doesn't have a live boot option so it just has to be installed to try it, which is disappointing.

But I totally get if OP wants to take a break and maybe come back to Linux in a few years, because Linux will keep getting better and Windows will keep getting worse.

This would also disenfranchise basically every trans person in the country, which isn't a bug, it's a feature. Last I heard, trans people were having trouble getting any passport under the new administration.

That think they're just going to reap the rewards of all that oil that was under the permafrost.

Celebrating his contributions to the Union victory!

I do care about the Confederate thing, I grew up in the South and saw the results of the "lost cause" rhetoric and the awful narrative rewriting the Daughters of the Confederacy types did in both public consciousness and the school history books. The name of this fort is part of that.

But I think you bring up a good point, that having two Fort Braggs is bad and annoying, and this fog horn of a dog whistle is shitty for multiple reasons.

It's available as a Flatpak, lol.

12 hours later and I'm guessing they're still stuck. RIP OP.

Something something velocity of money something I never took econ 101.
