Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve

I'm sure Canonical's neverending death march towards Snap, along with the OS running outdated packages, is why Valve no longer uses Ubuntu for SteamOS development. The greatest April Fools was Ubuntu dropping Snaps because so many people were saying how they could go back to using Ubuntu again...then they noticed it was a joke and the sadness set in.

Who The Hell Let Trump Into Arlington National Cemetery?

I think the bigger story is that someone from the cemetery asked that they not shoot photos/video of the section of the cemetery they were in, and then Trump's campaign staff verbally and physically assaulted the cemetery staff.

So he has now disparaged soldiers at said cemetery, now exploited recently fallen soldiers laid to rest in said cemetery to try and cover for the prior disparaging (as well as the medal of honor), and then assault staff of said cemetery because they tried to stop them from exploiting the cemetery.

You know it's a cult because it's the only way to explain how veterans can look past his flagrant disdain for soldiers, and still stand by him while his campaign disparages Walz for his service.

Masked group marches through Ohio neighborhood with swastika flags

I wonder what the amount of Trump gear vs Nazi flags was. It's also very ironic how when Nazi's march in the streets without a permit the cops just block off the street with their cars and perform crowd control to "help protect the city" (the Nazis). And when people of color march without a permit because cops killed another person over something stupid they get met with riot gear, tear gas, and rubber bullets.

It's going to get so much worse before it gets better ...

“The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.’

That kind of shit should get these agents charged with kidnapping. You shouldn't be able to take a "we'll sort it out later" approach to shipping people off to a terrorist prison in a foreign country.

I wish Anonymous or someone could start adding the family of these agents to these scoop up lists, then see how long it takes their family members to come back home. Almost like SWATing, but using all the layers of Immigration against themselves.

Lindsey Graham Claims Biden's Student Loan Relief Is 'Beyond Dangerous'

If you’re out there working and didn’t go to college, Joe Biden’s forgiving student loans, and you’re paying for them,” the Republican senator said on Fox News Sunday.

OK, so my pennies, which amount to a rounding error, are making it so someone else can get their head above water? What is the bad/scary/dictator part?? They are so afraid of education, as the second you can do critical thinking their whole fear mongering platform of lies falls apart.

"Maybe This is Too Cool" - After years of layoffs and pay/resource freezes, Amazon execs treat themselves to a private Foo Fighters concert worth millions

For those not upset and see the band "just playing a gig", what would be a line that you personally would consider too far? Would you be ok with them doing a private show for Netanyahu and his cabinet? Would a private show for Trump and his Republican lackeys be ok? How about Nestle CEO and its board, but none of its workers? Would a private show for the Proud Boys be ok if they had a "dump truck full of cash"?

Elon Musk rages as judges uphold DOGE blockade: ‘Attempted coup!’

“Democracy in America is being destroyed by judicial coup"

  • Elon on Twitter

Coup definition: "a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government."

So, a federal judge putting the brakes on your dismantling of our government and its checks and balances is a "coup"? OK, does this mean we took the country back and we don't have to worry about Musk or his VP Don anymore?

And if there is a judiciary in the US destroying our democracy it's the Supreme Court, but oddly he has no issues with them.

Edit Spelling is my nemesis, and autocorrect is the enemy of my enemy, but I hate them both.

On the Day He Was Fired as National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz Used an Israeli App to Archive Signal Messages

He isn't even gone from the government, Trump is moving him to be ambassador to the U.N.

And this isn't happening because of what he did, but because he got caught. He put on display how none of Trump's hires have any qualifications, and that he is a complete idiot with his denial story. He was then proven even dumber when his claims of no classified material were again proven to be wrong by the reporter publishing proof.

This pic is cropped so you can't see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn't see over.

Edit - Here is newsweeks slightly less cropped version and all the empty space is clearly visible.

Edit 2 - Here is a NYT photo that really shows how few people really showed up.

White House Confirms Trump Is Exploring Ways To ‘Deport’ U.S. Citizens

Reply in thread

And, they battle each case in court where people in the US are trying to get them back showing they were illegally kidnapped. So even when provided evidence they disappeared someone illegally, they are still fighting to keep them in one of these unregulated death camps.

Due process is dead, ICE is now the Kings Guard sweeping up dissidents, minorities, and whoever else they/he want(s).
