Drones, drones and a lot more drones. And a whole lot of blown up American energy infrastructure.

MAGA idiots tend to care when they can't fuel their brodozers

Impeach Trump before he starts a world war for crying out loud.

They'd quickly change their minds if they knew how expensive the gas prices would get after they invaded and their oil refinement infrastructure gets hit like Russia's has been.

Even if 100 percent of then wanted to they still wouldn't have a moral claim over it.

There is a key difference between the Mujahideen and Canadians too: Canada isn't on the other side of the planet like Afghanistan is. It's right there, sharing a very long land border. A lot of the asymmetric war will be waged on American soil.

Just look at what Ukraine has done to Russia's oil infrastructure.

Hence proper privacy protection regulations and enforcement. No more black box devices that upload data to their servers that can't be deciphered by the users. Get caught? A crippling fine on first offense. Jail sentences and ban from the market for further offenses.

If someone gets caught planting a listening or a tracking device against someone else they can go to jail for it. Why should we make an exception for corporate leaders?

Sounds like something that wouldn't be a problem if we had adequate privacy protection regulations and enforced them properly.

How about we do that?

Drop your dildo in the toilet. 400 years later it is in the internet.

Comical levels of stupidity aside, this message worries me. It really sounds like Trump is trying to justify being about to start a war to someone who he thinks is responsible for issuing out Nobel prizes.

How does this guy even manage to put on his pants in the morning?

 
 

Macrodroid has been a favourite of mine for automating things on my phone. This is no longer the case.

It has been silently updated at some point to become a data mining and leaking nightmare. At the time of writing these lines, this app contains 30 trackers from various third party telemetry services according to the latest Exodus report. This is an extremely high number of trackers and there definitely weren’t that many a few years back. Even most junk free mobile games can’t manage to contain this many. It appears that the owner of the app has sold out and turned it into spyware to sell your data to as many companies as possible.

This is particularly worrying considering the level of access and permissions the app requires to function. If you are using the app still, I’m urging you to reconsider.

Spread the word.

In many RPG games, when you level up, it feels good. You see your stats increase, your damage output and damage resistance go up, all the numbers get bigger. It gives you a sense of accomplishment. But then, you are made to face tougher enemies which completely cancel out the progress you've made. As a player you're locked into a gameplay loop that acts like a treadmill that keeps you struggling all the time while providing an illusion of progress.

Inflation and "pay raises" are doing exactly the same thing. When you get a pay raise, you feel like you've progressed because you make more money than you used to when you first started. But if you take inflation into account, you've never really progressed at all. For most, their struggle only got even harder even.

I have an old Laptop (MSI MS1721) that I want to repurpose as a media player on my TV. I have installed an old SSD on with Linux Mint XFCE.

Almost everything works well, with only one exception. The laptop's graphics card (ATI HD3850) requires proprietary drivers that haven't been supported since Kernel 3.4. The replacement open-source drivers cause stuttering while playing videos, which makes it useless for my purposes.

Are there Linux distribution options out there that would fit my needs?

Edit After trying a wide array of distros including Ubuntu 14.04, Linux Lite, Linux MX, Bohdi, Linux Mint Debian Edition, Nobara, Debian XFCE and CachyOS, I was pleasantly surprised to see that CachyOS performed very well and still feels like a modern OS and runs surprisingly smoothly with KDE. It looks like the open source drivers do work decently after all depending on the distro you're running and how well optimized they are for your CPU.

What if Trump was really into this kind of stuff and everything he has been doing is a secret genius plan to make sure people will pee on his grave for decades, if not centuries to come?
