  • Fix your Windows PC by Installing Linux Mint

    Jump

  • Maybe I'm just picky, but I think Mint replacing the standard Firefox icon should lower its place on the list of distros for people coming from Windows. Out of their preinstalled applications, Firefox is the one a Windows user is probably the most likely to be familiar with, and out-of-the-box they've got it pinned to the taskbar with an icon that a Windows user won't recognize. There's so many other distros where a Windows user can log in and clearly spot Firefox.

  • Trump Admin Tells Judge It’ll Disburse Half of SNAP Benefits for Eligible Households in November, With ‘Significant’ Delays

  • There's a tiny bit of red in the Middle East. I think it's Israel.

  • Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge

    Jump

  • They have a pro version that adds AI features, no idea the pricing yet though.

    The aricle says the AI stuff is tied to Canva's Premium subscription, which is 120 USD/year:

    Canva Premium subscribers will also be able to use AI-powered Canva editing tools like image generation, photo cleanup, and instant copy directly within the Affinity app.

  • That Extra ICE Funding Could Buy a Lot of School Meals

    Jump

  • No no, you don't understand. It'll be much easier to fund school stuff after ICE deports all the students Stephen Miller doesn't think should be in the US. /s

  • OpenAI Establishes For-Profit Company In Restructuring Change Involving Microsoft

    Jump

  • GOP-led Oversight Committee says Biden pardons signed by autopen are ‘void’ in final report

    Jump

  • Trump is pardoning so many people it could be argued that the volume makes it unlikely he's "aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations".

  • Hot Take Time: What is a popular long-running franchise that just needs to stop?

    Jump

  • Grey's Anatomy has had a couple of spinoffs (Private Practice, Station 19) so I'd say it counts as a franchise.

  • Inside Amazon’s Plans to Replace Workers With Robots

    Jump

  • Maybe if the robots get damaged at the same rate their workers get injured they'll get more interested in safety.

  • Try BentoPDF if you haven't / are unhappy with StirlingPDF

  • Their web page doesn't really mention self-hosting, but there's github link way down at the bottom and that has self-hosting instructions.

  • Mint was the default suggestion for people switching from Windows until a few days ago, and then Zorin popped up.

  • Supreme Court seems inclined to limit race-based electoral districts under the Voting Rights Act

    Jump

  • Roberts made sure to distinguish this case from the previous one:

    Chief Justice John Roberts didn’t say much, but tipped his hand when he sought to distinguish Callais from his own decision upholding the VRA just two years ago. Back then, he said, the court “took existing precedent as a given,” since no party asked for its reversal. Now, however, both the court and Louisiana have put “existing precedent” in the crosshairs, giving the majority a golden opportunity to overturn it.

    Nevermind that the state only got on board with overturning precedent after the Supreme Court wanted to rehear the case this term with parameters clearly meant to head in that direction, the court and the state are on the same page now so he's ready to go for it.

  • Comey wins early discovery fight as judge finds Trump DOJ stance would cause needless delay

    Jump

  • DOJ brought the case in a court known as the "rocket docket" and they're trying to take it slow. An experienced prosecutor would have known better, but apparently they couldn't find any who thought the case was strong enough to bother with.

  • Republicans could draw 19 more House seats after an upcoming Supreme Court ruling

    Jump

  • SCOTUS will find a reason.

  • Using rsync for backups, because it's not shiny and new

    Jump

  • It's just a one-off transfer, I'm not planning to stop the transfer, and it's my media library, so nothing should change, but I figured something resumable is a good idea for a transfer that's going to take 12+ hours, in case there's an unplanned stop.

  • Using rsync for backups, because it's not shiny and new

    Jump

  • I was planning to use rsync to ship several TB of stuff from my old NAS to my new one soon. Since we're already talking about rsync, I guess I may as well ask if this is right way to go?

  • Trump pauses $2.1B for Chicago infrastructure projects, leveraging shutdown to pressure Democrats

    Jump

  • The Democrats need to be reminding everyone that budget talks are pointless when Trump can do this shit.

  • Supreme Court says Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can stay — for now

    Jump

  • They'll let Trump get away with almost anything, but they know letting him mess with the Fed will hurt their 401ks, and that is where they draw the line.

  • He used to work for Fox News, of course he has a skewed view on the importance of optics.
