I have to use it for work, and the difference between how my work laptop and my personal laptop (Debian 43) handles basic tasks is stark. The stuff like “will my headphones work?” has been solved for years at this point. I’m talking even more basic, like rendering the UI and loading menus.

And these guys want us to bring their dairy into our country. Sorry, our standards are higher.

What really gets me about those clips is he posted them! This wasn’t some leaked video. He saw that and thought it looked badass. I regularly ask myself how much they believe their own bullshit. For a long time I thought they didn’t but Hegseth might actually be that clueless.

Even if “free market” was a valid argument, the US agricultural industry is anything but.

It’s so ridiculous. Part of the reason “the right” has been successful online is they’re funny. This idea that everything needs a disclaimer and an earnest explanation is what kills humour. 20 years ago I worked for a student newspaper. Every year we did a parody issue where we emulated one of the big local papers (yes, this was when we still big papers plural). Someone complained we should put a disclaimer so people weren’t misled. We answered that the picture of the prime minister boxing with an ostrich was the disclaimer.

It’s sad that that is the most likely explanation. No grand strategic vision, no plan, just being nostalgic for the eighties.

If we could harness the hot air generation we could jump a level on the Kardashev scale.

There’s an extension for Calibre called DE-DRM that works in the majority of cases.
