Like many blue states, the red parts of Washington are probably more racist and fascist than even the deepest red states. Eastern Washington still has a massive presence of out-and-proud white supremecists, just like Northern California and Eastern Oregon.
They could fine him a trillion dollars for all he cares, he won't pay one cent because its not like they are going to put him in jail or they would have done that already.
Right? It was ALWAYS going to be someone like this because it was always going to be a Republican. This is what voting for Republican's means. You get whacko assholes in charge.
It is a Republican majority, it was never NOT going to be that. This is the person that that they are, even marginally reasonable humans are VASTLY in the minority of the GOP.
I feel like the steam deck proves that we aren't really all that far from a feasible mobile linux device. Its like 90% of what a phone OS would need to be. I'd buy a Steam Phone from Valve. Imagine an accessory with controllers, access to the whole steam store, and the ability to dock to a TV or monitor. I think that could actually work, especially since so many games are already compatible with the deck as it is.
I don't think there is all that much money in handsets, which is why every phone company does their own weird version of Android to try to get advertising revenue on the back end.
You realize that this is the EXACT outcome they would have expected right? You think Hamas expected Israel to surrender to paragliders? This was what they WANTED to happen. Now the whole world is watching Israel losing their shit on civilians and their international support is crumbling all around them. Hamas doesn't give a shit about the palestinian people, but they do care about getting Israel into a position to be openly attacked by its Arab neighbors without the US and Europe coming in to fight on their behalf. It looks like that plan is actually going pretty well.
Well, in the case of Linux, also free. Many years ago I built an HTPC to run a media center at home and I got it all done and I realized that I didn't actually HAVE install media (or a spare license) for windows and it kinda irritated me that a legitimate license was going to cost me like $100 for a computer that wouldn't ever do anything but stream media from my own server. I had heard of linux before and I really wanted to make sure that my hardware worked without having to figure out how to actually buy windows and wound up installing ubuntu to test it out. I was surprised to discover that once installed it wasn't really all that different from Windows and decided then and there that this would be perfectly adequate for my HTPC and wound up using linux on various machines ever since. (I always have an old thinkpad running some flavor of linux for most of my general computing).
Like a lot of folks, I think the only thing I use windows for is working remotely and gaming (although, that is less and less the case since I got a steam deck and linux support for gaming has gotten SO much better over the last ten years).
I can do every single one of those things in my pixel (or just about any Android phone) if these things actually mattered you would have switched ages ago.
Seriously. It's hilarious to hear people talk about how their actual head of state totally isn't their head of state because they usually don't do anything.
That doesn't make him any less stupid given that he flew to China with an illegal gun in the first place.
