Seriously?!? You can hate people for who they are now, but to make statements like this is an attack on anyone who has experienced sexual abuse or trauma at an age where they themselves lacked the decision making faculties we'd expect from adults. It doesn't mean they are gay, or that they even really consented in a way where they felt in control. I really hate to see people act like this, especially those that have no idea what it is like to become sexualized at such a young age... usually triggered by an adult who started abusing a child.
It has improved, but most developers working on Xorg have moved to Wayland. I'm not saying Xorg isn't still useful at times, like forwarding over SSH, but Wayland has more isolation & security considerations, which can be seen as both an advantage & limitation. However, Wayland compositors have implemented most controls & protocols now to fill in the gaps.
Sass is one of the few popular open source projects standing up for Palestine
Sass is a popular open-source CSS framework for building websites. It is commonly used in some of the most popular open source projects, like Next.js. It is one of the few open source projects that when developers navigate their website for docs or whatever, they see a banner at the top of the page that says "Free Palestine." It is a shame that more software projects are too scared to show their support for Palestine, or that are actually opposed to Palestine's existence.
I'm sure some people do, but for the most part it is much better than X in that regard.
I understand where you're coming from, but Democrats need progressives to win. If they leave Democrats, it will be Democrats that will follow them, not the other way around. I don't think trying to emulate MAGA is such a great idea. I know there are lessons that can be learned there, but I am still confident that a new party with popular progressives & populist policies would do more than trying to change a broken party from within.
This is pretty much the most accurate response here. People like Andrew Tate are a symptom of a problem we have in society as a whole. The cure isn't to block the symptom, because the disease is still there. The solution involves hard work & holding our own politicians accountable.
Funny how vocal Wayland haters used to be until they tried Wayland.
What's the difference between a professional error & murder? Oh that's right the professional errors are forgotten about.
Now imagine if the guy was named Gatherer but ate meat so they called him Hunter. He'd have an entire army claiming the Vegans are radical bullies.
The same Democrats that barely won the previous election by telling people not to focus on them but Trump. Imagine funding the murder of kids, ignoring the housing crisis & then thinking you could just pull out the previous playbook with a dementia patient, then anointing Kamala Cheney at the last minute.
Truth there. I'm from a dark blue area yet city government here couldn't act any different than if I lived in a dark red state. In some ways I actually think they are worse. All they have to do is put D next to their name & the voters will support them regardless of their actions.
Lol, and this was the establishment Democrat response:
Hilarious that Carville claimed progressives have purity tests in the same breath
Its fine let them keep losing. I honestly don't care anymore. At some point progressives like Bernie, AOC, etc. will finally wake up & realize they don't need Democrats to win. You want to see people passionate about voting again then it is time to leave the establishment behind. Anyone remember Bernie's crowds in 2016? It was obvious he was may more popular than Clinton having to pay Beyonce & Jay Z for people to show up at her events.
Yes & no. Sadly case precedent in matters like this typically favor law enforcement & prosecutors for multiple reasons. One of them being where they argue if they make the ruling retroactive, then thousands of convicts where they used similar evidence would also be eligible for appeals or dismissal. Another more messed up reason is that if evidence is obtained illegally, if it still "proves" a defendant is guilty, the courts have came up with certain exceptions where it can still be used.
It's always "think of the children" to these miserable control freaks. They'd force kids into a dungeon if they had their say in it.
The civil war should just be states wishing to secede & form a new government, and trying to negotiate the terms with the US peacefully first. If they want to make it bloody then that is on them.
I had a therapist that said they wished the would be assassin hadn't missed. Def my favorite therapist, though I still question that he was ever even shot in the ear.
I feel like they'd more successful in preparing for secession.
What's crazy in almost every other state all an employer has to do is accuse you of stealing in order for you to get locked up, but they can steal from you and it's a civil matter that the DoL is almost certainly going to require that you pursue yourself in federal court, with a 90 day statute of limitation once you get a right to sue letter. I'm all for making wage theft criminal, but this being the first conviction 6 years after the law was passed is not the win most people think it is. The AG should be required to pursue all wage thefts, especially those that have already been proven in civil court.
I see you complaining about this being Kremlin propaganda... how'd you feel if Meta had hundreds of Russian Armed Forces employees?

Trump is bad. I agree... but why is the left suddenly all sympathetic towards rich people & CEOs like this, who exploit cheap labor.
Elon Musk's Pentagon visit sparks more questions about his access to sensitive files
With the Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction, former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden have offered to jump in and help with fundraising and rebuilding.

Unlike in Trump’s first term, Democratic voters say 2-to-1 they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise, even at the risk of not getting things done, per the NBC News poll.

Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson will focus on president’s ‘self-delusional’ decision to seek re-election
A reminder that everytime you get upset at Trump & Musk that you should also be upset with the Democrats that got us here.
Are people here pro-conscription?
A recent event led me to fact check something that I thought must be untrue, which is that Ukraine conscripts people into the military against their will, including making those people that had previously fulfilled their obligations return to the battlefield.
Moreso, when browsing X recently I saw bunch of videos being posted of what claimed were police forcing people into vans to go fight in Ukraine. The police were beating these people in the process. Now, it is possible that some of this content is propaganda, but I did want to find out if Ukraine forces conscription.
It appears that it is true:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Ukraine
I am very much against conscription. I still support Ukraine's independence, but the fact that they are forcing people to fight through beatings, arrests, etc. is sickening to me and makes me lose respect for Zelensky.
Trump posts bizarre AI video of Gaza vision as beach resort on Truth SocialDonald Trump/Truth Social
In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.
All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.
STATE OF NEW MEXICO v. MUSK (1:25-cv-00429)
This lawsuit was filed with Plaintiffs being the States' of New Mexico, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont & Washington. It requests both declaratory & injunctive relief.
What needs to happen is if a federal judge makes a ruling & Musk ignores it, then he needs to be held in contempt & jailed until he complies. In which case they will immediately appeal, likely to try to get it to the Supreme Court. If Supreme Court says Musk can do whatever he wants then you know it is time to organize for succession.
Google Gemini: Fascist AI for the plebs
Google Gemini seems to have been programmed to provide cookie cutter responses when asked questions about whether Trump tried to overturn the election.
When you point it out to Gemini, it says it isn't programmed to avoid any topics or viewpoints.
Even saying you'll accept a variety of sources & viewpoints on the topic to reach your own conclusion, results in it saying it can't answer.
When asking if it has been trained on research papers, case law, indexed news stories & even Wikipedia results, it says that it has.
Elon Musk admits Grok sucks
Musk's attorney confirmed he had submitted the bid for "all assets" of the company on Monday.
Elon Musk was forced to admit that Grok sucks donkey balls today, of which he also has a penchant for the equestrian variety, like the time Musk offered a SpaceX flight attendant a horse that he had been inseminating believing he could create a Centaur.
He expressed to the world he sucks at creating companies, and is only capable of buying them. He made this statement when he said that even for close to 100 billion dollars wouldn't be enough for his team of incels to compete with ChatGPT-AI, led by sister-molester Sam Altman. Recently a Chinese company called DeepSeek was able to match ChatGPT for less than 10 million dollars, and without the need of a sister-molester.
Why don't Democrats rely on federal judges to put a psych hold on Musk?
Since “President” Musk isn’t even an elected government official and has a history of drug abuse, erratic behavior, narcissism, and child abuse… why won’t Democrats try to get one of the federal judges they appointed to issue an involuntary psych hold on him, like on a Friday evening… where they have him get drug tested & evaluated to see if he should be breaking into classified government systems, or if he’s been fueling up on ketamine again & snorting the addy’s or coke with his daddy role model.
Federal judges are lifetime appointments. The only people that can remove them are Congress & it requires impeachment with 2/3 just like the President. Essentially, if Democrats agree on this, there is no way the judge will get impeached as a result.
Brave spokesperson promoting far-right anti-LGBTQ+ extremist
@gnukeith on X, a @Brave + $BAT Ambassador specifically chosen by Brave is now promoting far-right extremists on X.
Brave CEO, Brendan Eich, was previously ousted from his role as CEO of Mozilla, after it was found that he had donated to Prop 8, a campaign in California aimed at banning gay marriage. Despite Brendan Eich claiming at the time that he regrets his decision, he has since made multiple social media posts defending his anti-gay position.
At some point people must decide whether they wish to ditch the Fox, as Brave started advertising to users searching up Firefox on the Google Play Store, or if they want to ditch the anti-LGBTQ+ browser.

CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem
This is an unpopular opinion, and I get why – people crave a scapegoat. CrowdStrike undeniably pushed a faulty update demanding a low-level fix (booting into recovery). However, this incident lays bare the fragility of corporate IT, particularly for companies entrusted with vast amounts of sensitive personal information.
Robust disaster recovery plans, including automated processes to remotely reboot and remediate thousands of machines, aren't revolutionary. They're basic hygiene, especially when considering the potential consequences of a breach. Yet, this incident highlights a systemic failure across many organizations. While CrowdStrike erred, the real culprit is a culture of shortcuts and misplaced priorities within corporate IT.
Too often, companies throw millions at vendor contracts, lured by flashy promises and neglecting the due diligence necessary to ensure those solutions truly fit their needs. This is exacerbated by a corporate culture where CEOs, vice presidents, and mana
