Armed to deter cops
You know you're on the wrong side of history when you make it illegal to give to those most in need.

Linux Foundation bands together Chromium browser makers in a “neutral space”
This is surely a smokescreen for Google's monopolization of Internet standards.
And even if weren't, I cannot emphasize enough how much that list of companies should also NOT be in charge of setting open standards. Oligopoly, monopoly with the illusion of choice...

It's not really her fault. Microsoft pushes people to use their onedrive and pay for a subscription even when people have no clue what it is or what it does. Microsoft is just insanely anti-consumer.

You say that but we all remember him personally mass banning elon musk parody accounts and banning photos of himself he didn't like.

Feeling the lack of moderation now Reddit?
What a goofy interpretation of that series of events. Reddit changes API which fucks over moderators -> mods protest and say if they can't use these tools they can't moderate -> when API restrictions come into effect, mods either leave over moderating being way harder now or basically not being able to mod
Why is that final step so hard for this person to believe? All of Reddit moderation wasn't lying to people for fun

A lot of people are having sudden realizations recently
The problem with these brand of anti-intellectuals is they don't actually care. After this I'm 100% certain they forgot and still hold the same opinion they did before.

The problem with simply being "frustrated" about current material conditions is that frustration is unproductive. You have to channel it into something. If that "something" is fucking fascism, you're an evil person without morals. So while I understand how it happens I cannot absolve people of the crime of voting for an open fascist.

Skeletor cares about your life rule
No, these guys are way less organized than last time and Donald Trump is getting fucked in court still. I think its less likely now than it was 4 years ago. The GOP is fracturing and losing steam. Senators and governors are still a threat but not in the civil war type of way I don't think.

The US finally takes aim at truck bloat
I like the title, I like the framing, but unfortunately it's a nothing burger. They need to close the SUV/truck loophole and regulate vehicle size directly.

LibreOffice 25.2 Released, This is What's New

Because it's not free software. It's proprietary, so you're still putting everything into the hands of some random corporation. Software freedom is important, and important to this community specifically.

German state moving 30,000 PCs to Linux and LibreOffice - The Document Foundation Blog
This is unironically a good move for them. As Office gets more and more interconnected you have to wonder if there's a danger of using sensitive data as training for their AI. Not only will it save them money it'll also keep their data secure.

One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?
Default? Top left. It should be visually appealing to most people, and it would honestly just be odd to have the default wallpaper be cartoon styled. And the bottom left looks too much like W11. But I think they should all be included as options.

I understand the problem people have with men and more specifically toxic masculinity, but this gender wars bullshit only serves to further separate people. What's the purpose of saying "men are rapists" or "men are violent"? It's fine in the context of venting/talking with people facing similar problems, but because it entirely misses the sociological causes, it can cause people come to incorrect conclusions like "kill all men" or "all men are inherently bad because..." which essentialises their gender.
Men aren't inherently bad. It's patriarchy and toxic masculinity that you should be upset at - two sides of the same coin, really.

Personally pissing off President Musk is going to become a great little pastime of anyone with some extra time on their hands and I am absolutely in favour.
