  • US May Owe £760BN in Tariff Refunds if Trump Loses at Supreme Court

    Jump

  • I think they are referring to the conservative justices on the Supreme Court.

    Much of the point of an preliminary injunction is to prevent irreversible harm to parties... but in their selective application of them, they repeatedly value the executive branch's feelings over the Constitution, the rule-of-law, and in this case a US$1T clusterfuck on the people of the United States.

  • United Airlines says a window seat doesn't need to have a window.

    Jump

  • Wall seat or outer seat, I would think.

    It was only because of airlines' decision to change seating layouts that made it out of alignment with the aircraft's windows to maximize capacity, and since then they have been attempting to redefine the what a window seat is.

  • ‘Trump is inconsistent with Christian principles’: why the Democratic party is seeing a rise of white clergy candidates

  • I hope their faith guides them but does not control nor blind them.

  • Canonical extends Ubuntu LTS support again - if you pay

    Jump

  • I love the fact that Ubuntu, Redhat and SUSE are competing for long term enterprise support. The philosophy "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rings true, Linux enterprise deployment business make more revenue and the update backports and security backport fixes help the wider community too.

  • Venezuelans who supported Trump now feel cheated: ‘They used us to win votes’

    Jump

  • Right, but the difference is that foreign language translators are putting their own reputation on the line on representing the original speaker's words accurately, because local media will use the translator's account to make the story. When the original speaker is incoherent, translators have to convey what they are saying in a short time, otherwise they will sound stupid.

    “You know, the press is always on me because I say this,” Trump began. “Has anyone seen Silence of the Lambs? The late great Hannibal Lecter. He’d love to have you for dinner. That’s insane asylums, they’re emptying out their insane asylums.”

    My translation: 「記者らはいつもこれに追いかけてる、」トランプは述べた。「誰かは羊たちの沈黙をみたか？昔あの偉大だったハンニバル•レクター。夕食に誘ってくれる人だ。病院から狂人を全員放り出してる。」

    Leaving aside that the sentences are barely relevant to one another, you can't even begin get in the translation that Trump doesn't appear to understand the difference between an insane asylum and a refugee claim of asylum. So translators just have to say: they're letting out insane people from institutions.

    I don't have tabs on Spanish, but I can confirm, the Japanese language has a tough time conveying how batshit insane Trump's speeches are. It means they end up sanewashing him all the time. This article is about Trump's UN ramble this year.

    Title reads: "Trump strongly criticizes UN, says climate change measures are 'fraudulent' in his general debate speech"

    It's been a long time problem since his first term: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japan-interpreters-donald-trump-translate-struggle-us-president-white-house-speech-talking-style-a7596986.html

    Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?

    Jump

  • I think much of the gatekeeping is over concern that if you mess up, you could unknowingly be allowing a sophisticated hacker to access all the data on your network, without any obvious signs. And maybe some people don't want to field noob questions like "I clicked something and now the GUI gives a 😕 and doesn't work anymore, what do I do?".

    There is a skill floor, I would say similarly that you wouldn't be ready to install Linux yourself if you don't get suspicious when a .iso download gives you a .exe file instead.

    I think Yunohost is a decent solution for beginners that avoids as much of the nitty-gritty as possible. Louis Rossman has made a massive guide that's about as close as an IKEA step-by-step as you can get with this stuff. We should be encouraging people to learn, but there is a sense of reticence to have people get too in over their heads due to cybersecurity reasons.

    Edit: linked the guide

  • JD Vance warns more shutdown consequences coming "soon"

    Jump

  • "Let's try another 6 week paid vacation. All because of the Democrats, smh" - Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, supposedly.

  • The FAA's order to cut flights due to the government shutdown is set to take effect

    Jump

  • Anyone else almost believe depression isn't real for 2hrs after cleaning their apartment.

    Jump

  • Revel in it. There are moments in life where you feel like you can do anything, and some where you feel like you can do nothing. Just store it in your heart and mind that both exist.

  • DOJ tells Republicans that Epstein files even worse for Trump than they thought: report

    Jump

  • I think this is a little different because I believe in unreleased form this is more of a monkey on the Trump fandom's back. Had they just been released at the start, there would have been massive coverage for a week, but MAGA would believe that Trump's different by being open and transparent about it, and Democrats are just whining and people would forget about it much like the Papers. Whereas this way, it's clear the Republican swamp has something it REALLY doesn't want to reveal, to the point they'd be willing to starve the country and hold the entire government hostage over releasing them.

  • Trump's bright view of the economy doesn't match what voters are seeing

    Jump

  • If the average American voter's days were filled with lavish dinner parties, golfing trips and vacations where famous people gave them golden trinkets, then I could imagine they would think their country is on a good path.

  • Democrats' election wins send message to Trump, GOP: You are the literal worst

    Jump

  • Well, if it lead to a Democratic Socialist leading the financial capital of the USA that's something.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Reportedly Plots 2028 Presidential Run as a 'Real MAGA' Republican

    Jump

  • Newsom/Greene 2028, lmao (please let this be a joke!)

  • Conspiracy time: Olive Garden buys the breadsticks with cryptocurrency mined from your phone.

  • Mamdani wins New York City mayor’s race

    Jump

  • Here's the thing. Mamdani's a good man, the mayor has some levers like rent control, but he doesn't have the power to fix everything about the city completely alone. He will need every New Yorker who was moved by his campaign to help him accomplish his promises.

  • Mamdani wins New York City mayor’s race

    Jump

  • AP calls the race for Mamdani as well.

    Beacon of hope in a dark time for America. Now it's time for all New Yorkers to prepare to make the city that lifts everyone up in a way that every North American city would want to emulate.
