Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB with the codename 'Krasnov', claims an ex-Soviet spy.

Any plans on open source?
Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but will Arctic eventually be open source?
Hell yeah
It’s become a fascist cesspool, with cultists voting for an imbecile because they want to “own the libs” even if it means everyone suffers, including them.
I’m glad you’re enjoying your stay, and I hope it’s as peaceful for you as possible. Some of us are just tired of watching it crumble. My family didn’t leave Germany for this.
Currently Friday the 13th (1-6).
How long until you decide to leave?
Follow-up question: can you take me with you?
Classic!
Once everything was locked down, the small business I was using locally to supply exotic wood (and not-so-exotic) could no longer deliver. I offered to make multiple trips to haul it myself, but then they started going under as well. No one could deliver to them, so they couldn't sell.
It broke my heart for them. They were a small, family-owned company. Last I saw, they're no longer in business. So sad that they lost what they had...
I was lucky, since I wasn't making a whole lot anyway, so I didn't really lose too much. I supplemented the loss by going back to doing an "essential" trade.
Really makes me wonder what could've been, though...
Success: building guitars. Disasters: Covid tanked my business… building guitars.
Nah, you’re right. Only my mother and father are. ☺️
No, I'm Dutch, I was born and raised here without influence of the Norwegian culture.
Oh, I guess that’s where we differ. My family is from Leipzig, and the “German culture” (which is largely different from that of Americans in my particular state) was something engrained in me since birth.
I also spent 1/3 of my life visiting family in Germany.
But more importantly, my comment was mostly a remark about the idiocy of American politics, and how I’d like to distance myself from the notion of “Americanism” as much as possible, even on a genetic level.
It’s not that serious 😅
Guess I’ll have to marry my way back home 😈
As a descendent of German migrants, I’m officially dropping the “American” from “German-American.” I no longer want to be associated with this level of stupidity.
From a distance, it looks like a Waffle House menu that’s been scribbled on with crayons. But when you zoom in, you see god.
Friday the 13th Marathon on Pluto
See you nerds later
Bernhardt indicated that people whose views don’t align with Trump’s should not seek political appointments in his administration.
Jesus Christ.
Rubio could’ve saved a lot of letters by just saying, “thought crime.”
Does it need to be mixed with milk thistle or just consumed alone? I keep forgetting 🤔
Thankfully, coconut oil fixes everything.
I swear I saw a movie about this, but I can’t remember the name.
Anyway, the future is bleak. How are we all spending our Armageddon?
Holy shit, I didn't even realize that.
America is fucked. I cannot believe it's come to this.
We think you're going to love it

I know this sounds arbitrary and pointless, but I love sharing screenshots from Lemmy to other platforms.
If this is too difficult to implement, please disregard, but I’d love to see it.
Phantom OG strain review:
Yup, it’s weed. I got high. Then I ate some crackers.
Hell yeah.
7/10
POE 2 bosses just aren't fun.
It’s not even a real challenge. They’re either too easy, or they instakill, which just ruins the entire experience.
The whole, “Ahh, you thought I was dead, but now I’m changing” bullshit gets old, too. They’re granted a new, full health bar. Neat.
It doesn’t seem like they’ve done much balancing at all, unless they’ve nerfed builds. That’s about it.
I hate banning, but sometimes it's necessary
Had a user here on the Tankie thread that was obviously just being contentious for the sake of it, and being insulting to users here.
I hate being that person who bans, deletes posts, etc. It seems kind of authoritarian to me. So please, lovely Lemmings, be cool to each other.
I need some TST friends
The local chapter here has broken off because of issues with Lucien Greaves (I'm avoiding that discussion), so I'm kind of floating around.
Even having a few likeminded people on Lemmy would be great.

Yahoo UK has the story, but Yahoo in America says it's 404'd. 🤔
Bad news, again. Trump wants to destroy USPS.
Aside from the more obvious reasons that this is terrible, I also have selfish reasons for being upset about this (I'll edit this later).
Weed post
Cap Junky is an extremely potent, pungent cannabis strain crossing Alien Cookies x Kush Mints #11. The cultivar is a collaborative project between two of the most important modern breeders, Capulator and Seed Junky Genetics. Seed Junky sold Cap Junky clones for $1,000 each in 2021. Capulator's farm ...
This is the first time I've smoked this strain, and holy shit, it's nice.
Pretty strong, but a nice, happy high.
"THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN."

The doge[.]gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”
Doge[.]gov was hastily deployed after Elon Musk told reporters Tuesday that his Department of Government Efficiency is “trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions—we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website.” At the time, DOGE was an essentially blank webpage. It was built out further Wednesday and Thursday, and now shows a mirror of the @DOGE X account posts, as well as various stats about the U.S. government’s federal workforce.

An incomplete list of terrible things:
I used ChatGPT to make a short list of major world events that have occurred since the decade I was born. The list is obviously incomplete (there's so much happening right now), but it paints a pretty decent picture of how fucked this world has been.
Also worth noting that DeepSeek stopped at 1989, cleared the list, and said, "Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else." Imagine that.
undefined
• 1980 – Mount St. Helens erupts in the U.S. • 1981 – Assassination attempt on U.S. President Ronald Reagan • 1982 – Falklands War between the UK and Argentina • 1983 – U.S. invasion of Grenada • 1984 – Assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi • 1986 – Space Shuttle Challenger disaster • 1986 – Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the USSR • 1987 – Black Monday stock market crash • 1989 – Tiananmen Square Massacre in China • 1990–1991 – Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) • 1993 – World Trade Center bombing in New York • 1994 – Rwandan genocide • 1995 – Okla
Jellyfin is incredible
Finally got around to setting up a local Jellyfin server, then setup Tailscale to access it remotely while I'm out.
Setup was super easy — way easier than I anticipated — including the basic setup of Tailscale.
RFK Jr called his now-followers idiots, bootlickers
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of Health and Human Services, has a long history of critiquing Trump going as far back as 2016. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reports.
All those poor idiots who voted for these people are being duped by the very people that they trust. You love to see it.
Random downvotes all over Lemmy
Edit: This isn't a complaint; just an observation.
Totally random thought, but I see so many people wandering around down voting regular posts that are pretty benign. I also see this a lot on another message board that I'm on.
Disagreeing with people is totally fine, and down voting them as a form of disagreeing makes total sense. But with the nature of some of the posts, down voting just seems completely pointless, so I'm wondering if it's just trolls going around being negative. 
I'm going to preemptively down vote this post. 
More than 2,000 datasets have disappeared from data.gov since Trump was inaugurated. But analyzing exactly what happened and where it went is going to take some time.

Trump acting like his Austrian-born idol. God, I hate this timeline.
Community Note
I don't expect this community to actually go anywhere, since it's basically a repository for random stuff I find interesting.
But! In the unlikely event that it picks up, please be cool to each other.
How to control munchies?
Almost every strain I smoke gives me the munchies, hardcore. Does anyone have any tips to curb them?
