As a DS9 fan, to me that sounds way meaner than you probably intended.

As far as I know, I’ve only installed Flatpaks using the terminal. The most annoying thing about them for me is having to type out the fully-qualified name of the software (e.g. org.mozilla.firefox instead of just firefox), which is a very terminal-specific issue, LOL!

War with who? I’m posting this from Kubuntu and I’d happily agree with you that Snap should fuck off and die. (In particular, the backend being controlled by Canonical makes it objectively bad compared to Flatpak.) Even among people like me who tolerate Snap (for now…), I really don’t think you’re gonna find anybody who actually likes it, let alone enough to champion it.

Can’t start a war when there’s a consensus!

Buy military surplus equipment, I guess?

If these fucks are so hypercapitalist, why are they trying to copy China’s “Cultural Revolution” complete with famine? Is RFK secretly a pinko?

They aren’t bad ideas to fascists.

IDGAF about their brain-damaged moral relativism. Objective reality exists, and their ideas are bad (i.e. evil). End of.

You can download an stl for the battery cover.

The hackability and first-party endorsement thereof was another big underappreciated feature of the Steam Controller.

I am confused both about why immigrants would want to go to the UK in the first place instead of staying in France, and about why French police wouldn’t be perfectly happy to see them go and let the UK deal with them.

I hope Europe is scrambling to launch new satellites to pick up the slack. (For their own sake, not the US’, of course.)

Inflation makes investments rise too. It’s the people without them that are screwed by it.

And because of the implication also that nuclear reactors produce extreme waste of building materials (e.g. Greifswald, ran for 26 years, dismantling in operation since 35 years and projected to last till 2040 at least

Ah, yes, the good ol’ “force plants to close way before the end of their design lifetime due to anti-nuclear hysteria, and then use that truncated amortization as an excuse to dishonestly claim they were too expensive” argument. Works every time!

The general public is one thing, but that doesn’t excuse the positions of activist organizations like Greenpeace that should’ve been better-informed.

No, this is what happens when you (a) have a “allowed until proven unsafe” regulatory framework instead of a “prohibited until proven safe” one, and perhaps more importantly (b) abjectly refuse to consider any weed control method other than ones that can be accomplished by indiscriminate use of a sprayer.

I would, but that doesn’t work for stuff coming up through cracks in concrete, or through chain link fence.

For that sort of stuff, I recommend vinegar or propane. lMO the only reason to use a fancy commercial herbicide is when you need it to be selective, e.g. when you’re trying to get rid of broad leaf lawn weeds without killing the grass, too. (Edit: I’m not endorsing that as a good reason, BTW, as I’m more of a !nolawns@slrpnk.net sympathizer myself. I’m just saying that it’s the only one that’s even plausible.)

That’s because Ace Hardware is franchised. It’s essentially a bunch of small businesses that use the same branding.

It’s the newspaper doing an “allegedly” thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn’t actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.

I don’t think you’re wrong, but I think we should stop to consider how fucking absurd that is on the newspaper’s part. The entire fucking point of a criminal conviction is supposed to be that it’s been proven beyond reasonable doubt that the perp did, in fact, do the thing he was convicted for. Libel is, by definition, no longer a valid consideration.

A reporter continuing to use “allgedly” or other reported speech after that point isn’t covering its ass; it’s editorializing in favor of the perp or even sowing doubt about the validity of the rule of law.

He had to ditch the deal then in order to manufacture an excuse to attack them now. This is what he wants.

Credulous media excusing his warmongering by pretending it’s some kind of mistake can fuck all the way off!

It really is looking like “ecoterrorism” is the only remaining viable strategy to save human civilization.

No, it’s stupider than that. Even the private forecasts rely on the NOAA infrastructure they’re shutting off, like observatories and satellites!

But Russia thinks it’s an empire and acts accordingly, reality be damned.
