No one* is safe from this. They'll twist this and other rulings to make it so they can easily discard the rights of anyone against the MAGAt regime.

Meh. It's been dead to me since it was sold off to an ad company years ago. It was novel and cool 10 years ago but today there are plenty of better alternatives and even default launchers have come a long way. OneUI + Good Lock has been more than enough for me on my phone and tab.

Produce quality is already very noticeably down, at least the mass produced stuff. Greenhouse/hydro grown is untouched obviously but prices are sky high as a result.

What's your take on it? (I just like reading takes on Bioshock)

[–] tim 1 points 1 month ago

That's true as well, and that's sort of what I mean. People and outlets simply are not allowed to communicate ideas which might harm the interests of those who own or are invested in the channels. Or if they are, it's quickly overwhelmingly countered with a firehose of conflicting information. As a blatantly obvious example of this I always bring up Bernie Sander's Presidential campaigns. Whenever they televised a Sanders event or some event he was speaking at or attending, the media would run pro-private healthcare segments as often as they could. Commercials, opinion pieces, bringing "experts" on to provide commentary, it was just nonstop bullshit fear mongering attempting to terrify Americans out of voting for a more beneficial public system.

I'm hopeful FOSS projects will see a big boost in funding and contributions in response to this nonsense. It'd be a nice silver lining to this cloud of shit.

I'm already using Debian 13 on my work PC. It's a self-issued work PC, but still.

I just want healthcare, housing and education to be accessible, and the news seems hellbent on reporting on everything except that which could affect any of those issues in a positive way. They never do and that's one of the big reasons we're dealing with Trump.

Damn. I just watched Clearcut the other day. Lesser-known title of his but extremely enjoyable psychological horror, set and filmed in Canada. It was a great recommendation. He was also great in lots of other movies as well as The Red Green Show. RIP.
