One of these days they’ll realize that putting restrictions on the weapons given to Ukraine is playing into Putins hands. They’re so fearful of “escalation” when Putin’s already escalated.

Putin knows opening up a second front by attacking another former SSR would force the rest of the world to acknowledge what they already know - that he has no interest in any peace he hasn’t solely dictated - and actually respond to the obvious threat. So, he’ll play the war of attrition against Ukraine, Trump will fellate him, Europe will do little, he’ll rebuild his army and go after the next former SSR. Rinse, repeat. Modern leaders have no stomach for dealing with a bully like Putin. Or even a stupid Billy like Trump.

Reminder that Citizens United was 2010. Just before the bump in the graph. Hard to argue it’s had any effect! /s

Well, not really po-tay-toh/po-tah-toh. They’re 2 different utilities that do 2 different things. If you ask the wrong question, you’re not going to get the answer you’re looking for.

What you’re asking about is an antivirus. It’s been awhile since I messed with this on my Linux systems, but last I looked, ClamAV was most commonly recommended. You can probably search for “Linux antivirus” and find some recommendations.

Generally speaking, the earlier recommendations to stick with official repos is excellent. When you venture outside of that, you increase your administrative overhead because those manually installed apps won’t stay patched with a simple “apt upgrade.” That said, a well written cron job could keep them up to date for you.

As for where to install things, it’s personal preference. I prefer using my home directory. If that doesn’t work, my fallback in /usr/local, which is either its own partition or symlinked to the /home partition). I mention the partitions because having separate /home and possibly /usr/local makes it easy for these customizations you install to survive a reinstall. Backups will also help with this.

You have to ask yourself what this system will be used for. If it’s a daily driver that you want to “just work” I would stick to official repos, and minimize customizations. Windows makes a lot of choices for you. Linux expects you to know what you want to do.

Just plain delusions. All kinds. Basically her brand.

… As they should.

… But they won’t.

And fuck every single one of the senators who voted to confirm him. They are a rubber stamp. Actually, that’s disrespectful to rubber stamps everywhere.

Narrator: They’re looking forward to voting for JD Vance to finally get that trickled down wealth.

Super old, but also a cockroach of a human being. They tend to outlive expectation.

Doesn’t sound like they aren’t saying it “feels like” anything. Sounds like they’re calling it what it absolutely is.

This is what “running the country like a private business” looks like. Line must go up.

There is a special place in Hell for all these self-professed “Christians.”
