Cruelty and death to poor people and more pandemics for everyone! The American way.

Still not sure whether OP is Pete Hegseth.

In Windows, Foobar2000 does easy audio file conversions, once you have installed the relevant codecs.

The old Republican projection at work again.

Many things are possible, but we shouldn't go shouting "It's microplastics!" or "It's TikTok!" or whatever without actual scientific research. There are just too many plausible-sounding hypotheses that need to be handled carefully.

I hope you're right, but I'm not convinced we can draw conclusions yet. Starmer's government is not popular and while Farage has been a joke at home among many, he never drops out of the picture because he has a lot of international far-right support and consequently a lot of money. Brexit was obviously stupid and happened; giving Farage power would be similarly stupid and I'm not sure it couldn't still happen. In Germany the AfD is still too strong, though not quite as strong as it had hoped. In Canada I hope people have finally seen through Poilievre, but again Canada underestimates the Trumpist/convoy/PP people at its peril, and while Carney is sending a lot of good messages the kind of liiberalism he represents has not traditionally done well in holding off the fascists.

In the USA, sitting peacefully while calling for an end to killing Palestinians is terrorism, but attacking these peaceful protestors violently for several hours because you want Palestinians killed and their sympathizers intimidated into silence is not.

Even better, the whole HP printer is optional.

Am I right to think that local mesh networking can only be done if you have a whole bunch of other people in your town who are into local mesh networking? Are there projects to help people build this up?

You joke, but... sigh...

Billionaires hoarding wealth, and slavery.

Right now Conservatives like Doug Ford are much more ready to cave to Trump's demands than Carney. Pierre Poilievre would be the same way: talk big talk, but cave. And in the end what even would be the point of PP speaking for Canada, when PP's agenda is to replicate some of the worst aspects of Trumpism in Canada anyway?

Someone has to be able and willing to enforce the law though. And the people have to be able and willing to remove officials who won't.

Welp, there goes the internet, for Americans at least. Hello censorship, throttling, bundle pricing and domain blocking.

One of bill's sponsors, Justin Eichorn, just got arrested on suspicion of soliciting a minor.

Maybe they're all true believers. It's probably not a job you'd take if you wanted to treat people fairly and kindly.

I recognize that these are words. That's probably why I'm poor.

They've seized the Kennedy Center for the arts in Washington DC. We can expect Hitler Trump Youth displays and campaigns against degenerate art, starting here and spreading across the country.

This guy is always throwing tantrums when people ask questions. He must imagine it means he's in control. He clearly has no life skills, unless being a bitter little Nazi counts as a life skill. Look at him throwing around accusations of being "a degenerate": he even borrows his vocabulary from his hero Goebbels.
