  • If Biden were to resign (which he won’t), then she would assume the presidency as kind of zero-ith term; she could run for reelection twice. Two full terms.

  • Apple is introducing a lot of user space frameworks to replace much of the kext level functionality though.

  • It tell us quite a lot actually; the native PlayStation game was running on a POSIX system, on x86(-64), and Vulkan/OpenGL. Ergo, it took extra work to port the game to Windows, when the original title ran on something very close to a Linux desktop.

  • This is especially egregious when you remember the PS4 and PS5 operating system are themselves based on FreeBSD, meaning the original game was natively targeting a Unix-like OS to begin with. So to then say it won’t run on Linux is a huge middle finger.

  • This does actually happen more than you think - it’s why all the world’s football and tennis stars miraculously decide to move to Monte Carlo as soon as they hit the riches. Which is exactly why we need a coordinated tax policy at an EU, EEA or global level, to make sure that you can’t just choose a neighbouring country and pay an order of magnitude less.

  • Basically this. Russia and its ruling party have big problems and so scapegoating a minority group offers a way to misdirect anger that would otherwise be aimed at the government. You may recognise this exact dynamic from your own country’s local right-wing party.

  • Pro tip: open a checking account with a brokerage, like Charles Schwab or Fidelity. Everything is free with ridiculously generous terms: no fees, free check books, ATM fee refunds, excellent foreign exchange rates on your debit card. They’ll blow any credit union out of the water.

    The reason is that these companies make their money on stock accounts (via trading commissions and the like), and view these checking accounts as just a value-add / loss-leader to get you to park your investments with them. And they’re rolling in dough from options trading and shit like that, so the terms on the loss-leaders are really good.

    I’ve had a checking account with Schwab for like 20 years, and they’ve never so much as whispered changing this dynamic.

  • Seems but a tinkle. Sorry, I mean trickle. Got those confused cuz Farage is such a bellend.

  • It’s the breadluminati. They are everywhere.

  • Will he be allowed to enact any reform? I was under the impression that the supreme leader is effectively dictator and able to overrule any policy, and the president is more a logistical administrator.

  • We defederated them a while ago over here. Along with some right wing instances too. The extremists from either side of the political spectrum really spoil the experience.

  • I dunno. It may have been on the table at one point had they continued to work towards improving infrastructure and combating corruption. But once Erdogan turned autocrat, that door was closed.

  • Peter Magyar is an incredible name for a Hungarian politician, it would basically be like having the name John America lol
