  • Just be sure to check support before buying any newish laptop. I really like my ASUS Duo Pro 2024, but ASUS adamantly refuses to lift a finger for proper Linux support for special features. Even the audio chipset which is standard somehow doesn't work with default kernels due to something they've done. Dual screen can be made to work with some scripting-fu, but the keyboard's multimedia keys just don't work at all.

    Vote with your wallets and be noisy to those brands who don't support Linux well. Let them know if lack of Linux support was why you didn't buy.

  • Perhaps his admiration of despots like Putin, and his seemingly desperate desire to become like them, to be considered an equal by them, is the thing that drives him. It could be that he just truly, truly wants to be like Putin, so does anything he can to impress or aid him.

    If that's true, then there's really nothing anyone can do. (Well, nothing I can mention, that we all know full well, without being on some lists).

  • Never mind the reasons -- this is patently illegal and violates security clearances. Yet another reason, as if more were needed, to oust him and then prosecute him.

  • Maybe they've got something really, really big on him. Something he values beyond all else -- even money, even fame, even attention, even power, since those seem to be all he loves.

    Maybe Putin convinced him years ago he will bump off Ivanka if he doesn't obey, or something.

  • Like father, like son. Jeebus what a horrible being (I skipped a word on purpose). And the HOA who've taken his signalling/direction are, of course, horrible as well.

  • Sounds great, if it's non-allergenic too it would be a great product.

  • Let's see how committed they are to "Free Speech". Bets on how long until Florida or D.C. bans these ads? (They'll call it "foreign interference").

  • Hmm, guess that's tacit permission for Canada to do the same with our southbound water then eh? >:(

  • It does matter, if nothing else in that you voted, and if not PC, then it is recorded that not 100% in your riding want PC. Don't please let FPTP dissuade you from voting at all.

  • So he's wearing a .... Hazmaths Suit?

  • I don't know, I wasn't expecting some kind of Spanish Inquisition.

  • Yup, DVD players suffered from the bad caps a lot back then as well, it was always one or two specific electrolytics in the power supply.

  • I had not heard of Jackett and to be honest haven't really looked into aggregators. Will look into it, thank you.

  • 1337x.to has good torrents/magnets in my experience, but def. use ad blocking. On mobile clicking almost anything tries to redirect or pop something up.

  • First let's cut the biggest energy wasters -- crypto mining and 'AI'.

  • A Møøse once bit my sister...

    Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

  • Sadly, can corroborate. He was a jerk to my future wife at a book-signing 'cuz she didn't plonk a freshly-purchased copy of the new book he was reading from to get signed, but another one, after she gushed about how much his environmentalism and views had influenced her. I mean, yeah an author does readings and book signings to sell books, but a fan has still taken time to travel, sit and listen, and maybe will buy after the event.

  • We already have few candidate words. Trumpers. MAGAts. Yall'Qaida ...

  • Exactly. Europe should see all Canada's steel and aluminum as a godsend for all the tanks, vehicles, and guns they're going to need to build and use to stop Russia.

  • I got an audio version of this poll yesterday. 'Press 2 for LIB, 3 for NDP, ..." stuff like that. Didn't ask for any personal info.
