Running up medical debt, declaring bankruptcy, and expecting the inflated costs being charged by the insurance system to just sort of absorb it is entirely different from the government having public welfare programs!

You do see how it’s different, right?!

I mean, resources aren’t being spent on public welfare programs in the US either. We only have a higher standard of living because of the legacy of (roughly) the New Deal era, when we were investing in it as well as unions winning a lot of labor reforms. Those preexisting advantages have only been slowly eroding for the last 40-odd years.

By definition, no. Legitimate women’s healthcare providers don’t call themselves “crisis pregnancy centers.” Instead, they use other labels, ranging from “family planning” to “abortion clinic.”

Can’t do that anymore with the new ones, AFAIK.

That’s not enough. Just like with systemd, you will be made to care about what the corporatist Microsoft-garglers at Red Hat do, whether you use it or not.

Ah, I just love how laws against anticompetitive business practices have basically been totally flushed down the toilet worldwide, don’t you?

Then use Keepass, which is literally just a local app.

That wouldn’t be a suicide vest, though; it’d be a suicide fat suit.

It’s two penny-farthings welded together back-to-back. It’s a freakbike for doing stunt-riding, which is still way closer to stuff like mountain biking and bmx than it is to ‘normal’ utility or road cycling.

And yes, he also owns a couple of Bromptons and has made the very occasional video on urban cycling. But that doesn’t make him the best channel for it. I’m not throwing shade on the guy; I’m just saying it’s just not his focus.

(He also doesn’t cover stuff like, say, pro cycling or MAMIL-style road cycling. I hesitate to mention GCN 'cause I think I’d get flamed if I called them the “best” at anything, but they definitely cover those topics more than Seth does.)

Best mountain biking channel. There are others that are better for other types of biking (e.g. Shifter for utility cycling).

Nvidia slop on an AMD GPU?

Magic, I guess, 'cause nothing in the sceenshot would do it, unless the attacker had already replaced cat with a trojan or something.

Yes, but the real dad thing is to say that when you see horses, and say “look, horses” when there are cows.

I started watching the video on Youtube, but almost immediately switched to an older video from the same guy that went into more detail on the metal-melting part.

TL;DR: normal sand casting, using a microwave to heat up the metal inside an insulated silicon carbide crucible.

It’s not, like, using the microwave to sinter a metal-powder 3D print or anything special like that.

I’ve both used CAD software professionally and worked on CAD software as a developer, and I also find FreeCAD weirdly frustrating. It’s not the crashes; it’s something about the workflow.

I bought TP-link knowing that it was cheap and that I could flash OpenWRT on it. I remain happy with that decision.

It’s probably from treated sewage discharging into the ocean.

Ripping out all of these GRUB features would basically mandate that most Ubuntu 26.10+ installations are done with the /boot partition being done on a raw EXT4 partition. Thus no more encrypted boot partition and having to rely on an EXT4 boot partition even if you are a diehard Btrfs / XFS / OpenZFS fan. Or you could opt for the non-signed GRUB bootloader that would be more full-featured albeit lacking Secure Boot and security compliance.

Reducing the signed GRUB builds to the minimum support necessary they feel would “[substantially] improve security”. Users wanting those features back could use the non-signed GRUB builds albeit losing out on UEFI Secure Boot and security support.

How the Hell is any of that supposed to “improve” security? Something is fishy here.

Somehow, we manage to have the problem of assholes like this racking up dozens upon dozens of priors with (obviously) ineffective punishment and would-be productive citizens languishing with long prison sentences for trivial offenses at the same time.
