Fascism continues to sweep the world. Apparently loads of people find it really appealing.

Whoops, shot in the back, beaten and strapped to a scorching jeep like some kind of human shield. Just another whoopsie by the IDF, but don't worry, they'll look into it to investigate how on earth they ended up being cruel to Palestinians.

Linux: Libre Office

Windows: MS Office

Libre Office is also available on Windows.

"Free software" doesn't mean you don't pay for it, but that it respects and preserves the user's freedom. The opposite is not "cost software" but unfree software.

What is free software?

Most of the other points in this list are also questionable or inaccurate. In fact, I think the only true one is the first one: open source vs closed source.

It's the best of the Chromium-based browsers, but closed-source is a shame. I wish Firefox would copy some of Vivaldi's UI ideas.

Which is partly because people don't have as much money as they used to.

Our shift away from brick-and-mortar sales allows us greater bandwidth to focus on researching and developing the next generation of synthesizers

Bandwidth. Yuck. The suits got to them.

He won't just ignore it. He'll do what Ron DeSantis does in Florida and actively pass laws to make it more difficult to do the right thing.

You can't assume from people voting for one of the only two parties that can win an election, plus the fact that neither party promises adequate action on climate change, that people don't care. In a first-past-the-post system people often feel forced to vote for a party that is not their favorite and doesn't prioritize as they would like.

I don't recommend PopOS! because I think the Gnome UI is confusing to people who have only used Windows before.

Used Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 7 and 7 Pro can be found for reasonable prices these days. One of those in good condition would be a better buy because you'll still get security patches for a while. Last time I looked, the third party OSs for Pixel phones only supported them for as long as Google did.

See also: Bush vs Gore (though Republicans still had to cheat to win) and Bush vs Kerry. One candidate makes intelligent, considered points while the other throws out cheap bullshit soundbites. The bullshit soundbites guy wins the election every time.

This guy just poked his head out to see what all the noise was and got shot twice. Israel seems to be shooting Palestinians indiscriminately.

What if the antisemites... lie?

There's more information about the components of this system here:

There really isn't much to this Holesail project - it's a little convenience wrapper around Hyper DHT and that's a part of this Pear project it seems. That site has a list of the various components and links to each one's GitHub.

Pear looks like an interesting project but I haven't looked through the details of how it works.

Some patients are spending a year and a half in hospital isolation receiving old medicines instead of just six months of treatment at home, because countries do not have access to the most up-to-date therapies to cure people of the infectious disease.

If it's a question of cost, then keeping someone in hospital for a year and a half surely has to be more expensive than just buying the drugs.

Apparently it's a suspended sentence and they are not in custody, so no prison time will happen. Just business as usual for the exploiters.

Conservatives know this would be enormously unpopular, which is probably why, when they talk about Comstock at all, they often refer to it by its criminal code numbers rather than its common name. (“I think the pro-life groups should keep their mouths shut as much as possible until the election,” said Mitchell.)

That's not how a party with any intention of representing the will of the people would behave. Republicans serve only the rich and the Christian fanatics.

What's wrong is they have a major fascism problem.

They understand beer. They don't understand science. They don't particularly like people who do.
